Millwall style government would actually mean performing at a higher level than resources should allow, doing great work in the community, all without sinking (too much) into debt AND in the face of authorities who, for some reason that’s beyond me, would like us to disappear…

Human rights experts express serious concern over the UK's 🇬🇧 Nationality and Borders Bill, which they say breaches the country's obligations under international law. “If adopted, it would seriously undermine protection of the human rights of trafficked persons, incl. children."

#Guinea has legally banned all forms of violence against children in the name of punishment, bringing the total so far to do so to 10 in Africa and 61 worldwide. That leaves 138 States remaining...
