@cardiff_castle what has happened to the lovely flags from around the world that used to adorn the castle? I'm concerned about the message it sends. It comes across as xenophobic and unwelcoming

Perhaps Mr Malema ought to research the meaning of the word martyr. Mr Mugabe died an extremely wealthy man in a foreign hospital I assume in relative comfort.The cause he fought for he betrayed with evil misdeeds. Mugabe's victims? Perhaps they qualify more accurately as martyrs

@dignityindying I've seen many people die in developing countries without access to hospice or palliative care and no morphine. I've never seen a death like this one. Even with poor EOL care death doesn't usually look like this. Also it depicts a parent lying to their child. Take it down.

The world's largest military budgets:

🇯🇵 $50 billion
🇬🇧 $53 billion
🇫🇷 $56 billion
🇮🇳 $58 billion
🇷🇺 $63 billion
🇸🇦 $83 billion
🇨🇳 $168 billion
🇺🇸 $700 billion

What if—just maybe—we led the world not in weapons and war, but in fighting humanity's common enemy: climate change?
