Ardent Brexiteer, 1/72 models too.
Be angry, but use that anger. Direct it for change. Radical change, through the ballot box. The only way.
Vote. Volunteer. Participate.
Make a difference.
Restore Britain.
This is Anna Aksamit.
Anna is a 30 year old Polish model who lives in Milan. She was on her way to a supermarket near Porta Romana (very central and normally safe area) on Friday afternoon at 2pm when she came across a group of 7 to 8 men, who were thin and visibly intoxicated.
She attempted to evade them by crossing the road but they chased her, surrounded her, molested her and began punching her in the face and abdomen.
The men worked as a pack. They beat her and threatened to rape her and she was only saved when a passerby intervened.
Anna is unable to give a detailed description of the men but, interestingly, was able to identify her Good Samaritan as “Italian”.
I was last in Milan a few weeks ago. This was once a grand and significant city but it is now haunted by large groups of thin and hostile men, many of whom do not look like they are Italian and do not speak Italian. They make many women feel unsafe.
They used to hang out in clusters near the central train station but appear to be spreading out into other areas of the city, possibly because the police presence at Milan Central Station is now so heavy.
It is possible that the group that attacked Anna is actually are actually Italian but the odds are against it.
For a woman to be unable to walk to the supermarket in broad daylight without being attacked and threatened with rape is just appalling and a new low for Milan.

8 June 1920. Birth of Marshal of Aviation Ivan Nikitovich Kozhedub (d. 8 August 1991). Soviet ace credited with over 60 solo victories, considered the highest achieving Soviet and Allied fighter pilot of WW2. One of the few airmen confirmed to have downed a Messerschmitt Me 262.

The people in this photo had lived through some hard times.
But when the sun came out, and stayed out, those problems evaporated for a while.
Today, 50 years later, it's going to take more than sunshine to restore the feelgood factor.
I still think the worst part of this legal dynamic was the judge in the case ruling the video taken by the killer as he murdered his victim was, “too disturbing to be shown” as evidence.
The killer recorded himself doing the killing, and that evidence could not be shown to the jury because it was “too disturbing,” yet the jury was tasked with making a decision on whether the accused was guilty or not. Think about it. Beyond insane judicial logic.

Protests in Southampton tonight. Do NOT give the state ANY excuse to throw you in prison. Because they will use anything.
I know people are angry. I am angry. But do not throw your life away doing something you will later regret.
The police need to treat protestors fairly, and any unacceptable behaviour by any officers must be recorded and called out.
But I will say this again.
Do not get violent.
That is not how we win.
We win at the ballot box, peacefully and democratically.
We win by electing Restore Britain across our country.
It's the only way.
@ZelenskyyUa Another day, another trip, another meeting at taxpayers' expense for the 'wartime president'.
And cue all the weird constant pawing at each other...
This is awful. The last ever Denby Pottery going to the kiln. Why is there not uproar? Where’s the government in this?? We all have Denby in our homes, in family heirlooms, as our history and now it’s closing through lack of support, such a sad sad day. #SaveDenby@denbypottery
Two of the few remaining Ukrainain Naval fast deployment craft are destroyed in the Black Sea
They both contained teams of Ukrainian marines, fully laden with combat kit.
The survivors, (if any) didn't stand a chance miles from shore. Dictator Zelensky continues his War
