JUST IN: ALBANIANS CALL FOR PM EDI RAMA TO RESIGN AFTER STRIKING DEAL WITH JARED KUSHNER FOR PROTECTED COASTLINE

“Albania is not for sale. Albania belongs to the Albanian people, and we decide what we want to do here.

It's not that some corrupted politicians can decide what they can do with our property.

He's trying to trade our country as a personal property of him and his family and his collaborators.

We want him to resign.”

[Mensch @entropie42]

@Parodyjeffx @azvettegirl213 "Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land." TRUE. Over 100,000 Albanians are in the streets. Anti-corruption prosecutors have opened an investigation. Flamingo habitats are being bulldozed"!

PS: You have the core facts of this situation remarkably accurate, but internet rumors have jumbled the timeline and combined two separate events regarding what is actually burning.
​Here is the exact verification of those three points:
​1. Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump are taking over protected land for a billion-dollar resort.
​STATUS: TRUE
​The Details: Jared Kushner’s investment firm (Affinity Partners) is backing a massive luxury development project in Albania. It is estimated to cost over $1 billion and includes plans for 10,000 hotel rooms and villas.
​The Protected Land: The project spans Sazan Island (a former communist military fortress) and the Vjosa-Narta coastal wetlands. The wetlands are an ecologically sensitive wildlife reserve home to thousands of pink flamingos and endangered species. Mass nationwide protests (dubbed the "Flamingo Revolution") are occurring right now with people chanting "Ivanka, go home" and "Albania is not for sale."
​The Israeli Link: While Kushner's firm has heavy backing from international investors (including Sovereign Wealth Funds), Albania’s Special Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SPAK) recently opened a formal investigation into the deal, looking into a complex network of land titles, shell companies, and developers linked to the project.
​2. The Albanian Prime Minister changed the law to make it happen.
​STATUS: TRUE
​The Details: In 2024, Prime Minister Edi Rama’s government explicitly pushed through amendments to Albania’s environmental laws. These changes watered down protections for national parks and coastal reserves, specifically allowing high-end luxury tourism developments inside previously strictly protected zones.
​The Fallout: Critics and 41 international environmental organizations directly accuse Rama of rewriting the nation's environmental laws purely to roll out the red carpet for Kushner’s investment group.
​3. "Now his house is burning."
​STATUS: FALSE (Misunderstood Timeline & Location)
​What actually burned: The house that was set on fire was not Prime Minister Edi Rama’s current home. It was Villa 31—the former luxury residence of Albania's deceased communist dictator, Enver Hoxha.
​The Confusion: During heavy anti-government riots in the capital city of Tirana, angry opposition protesters targeted the dictator's old villa with a barrage of Molotov cocktails, setting parts of it ablaze. Because the current Prime Minister’s government had recently renovated the villa to use it as a state-run cultural center, rumors spread wildly online out of context, claiming it was the current Prime Minister's home being torched over the Kushner deal.
​Summary: While Prime Minister Edi Rama is facing massive protests, an active corruption probe, and immense fury for changing environmental laws to hand protected lands to Kushner and Trump, his personal home was not burned down. Protesters instead firebombed the historic villa of the country's former communist dictator during the riots.

Let me categorically Debunk this utter rot. @sainsburys.

I am a poultry Breeder. The hens that lay white eggs (Amberline/White Star) DO NOT have a lower carbon footprint.

Yes they eat a bit less and produce roughly the same amount of eggs as the Brown egg layers (Bovan/Lowman/ISA Brown) but they live shorter lives, are prone to dying suddenly when startled, a flighty and nervous and because they live shorter productive lives (12 -18mnths) vs brown 18/24mnths (both commercial farmed), you have to incubate more which is increased (Electricity/gas costs) and their eggs are not the same quality.

I breed and keep 20+ different breeds, including: ISA Brown hens and White Stars. All my hens are 100% free range, Not a single barn kept bird, I have ISA browns that are 5yrs old and still laying beautiful Brown eggs, I have not seen a White star live beyond 3yrs and certainly none have laid eggs past 18-24mnths.
White stars Lay themselves to death. They are slender birds and because they dont eat a lot, it drains their personal vitality to keep up laying the eggs you want to sell because of the nonsensical lie that they are "More Carbon Neutral"

You want to know about eggs, come talk to someone like me, Don't rely on some hairbrained imagination of a buyer who's trying to squeeze the profit margin for a few extra pennies at our expense and to the poor hens detriment.

Andy Burnham is talking about taking water into public ownership over 10 years

Thames Water is a complete mess. It needs to come into public hands NOW.

Others also have abysmal records of sewage and dividends.

So 10 years of sewage? 10 years of dividends? 10 years of water cuts? NOT GOOD ENOUGH

This opens up a can of worms @NHSEngland

🔴Will poppies be banned?
🔴Will LGBTQ/Pride emblems be banned?
🔴Is a Palestinian flag with no text considered "political"?
🔴Why is a Palestinian flag considered to "anti Jewish hatred"? Is that idea not racist towards Palestinians?
🔴Will all flags, including Union Jack and St Georges Cross, be banned?
🔴Will Ukraine badges be banned?
🔴Will the Star of David be banned?
🔴Where is the line that constitutes what is "political" and what is not? Is a Keffiyah a political symbol?
🔴Can badges be worn on clothing on the way to and from work?
🔴If a Jewish person decides to wear a Palestine badge, is that Jewish person exhibiting "anti Jewish hatred"?
