This is possibly the saddest thing I've seen in a long time..an immigrant nurse talking about fleeing her home..she saved her UNIFORM. So she could still WORK for our communities.
I'd fill this country with a thousand of this woman than one of those good for nothing thugs.
God help this poor woman.
I want to say something many will hate but it needs to be said. I have met Nigel Farage. I do not know him well but I know the world he moves in. We move in similar circles sometimes. The kind of private rooms and members clubs that most people in Britain will never see. I know how the rich speak about ordinary people. They laugh. They joke about how easy it is to wind you up. They know exactly which buttons to press. They know you are angry and tired and struggling and they know you want someone to blame. That is why they point at boats while they pick your pockets.
I did not grow up rich. I did not grow up in privilege. I understand struggle and the real world. But my life changed and now I see both sides. I sit with billionaires and politicians and decision makers and I hear conversations you never will. I know the truth. They do not care about you. They do not care about your future. They care about profit and control. They see ordinary people as tools or distractions. I am telling you this because I am tired of watching good people being manipulated.
Look at your life before Brexit and look at it now. Look at your shopping bills. Look at what food costs in Europe right now. Look at how much tax you pay on imports. Look at your wages and energy prices and mortgages. Look at the 10,000 NHS staff we lost when freedom of movement ended. Look at the ambulances that do not arrive. Look at nurses and teachers using food banks. Tell me honestly. Are you better off?
Nigel helped build the crisis you are living in. Then he pointed at immigrants and told you to blame them. That is the con. He pulled the UK out of the Dublin III agreement which means we cannot return asylum seekers to Europe anymore. He created the boat chaos then told you to panic about it. Someone who worked in immigration for more than ten years told me they saw it coming. It was planned. It is a strategy. And you are falling for it.
Now he wants austerity again. He wants to cut wages for young people. He wants to rip up workers rights. He wants private health insurance and a French style NHS where the rich get treated first and the poor get nothing. He wants you fighting each other so you never see who is robbing you. If you vote for him you are voting to destroy your own life. Not mine. Yours.
None of this affects me personally. I drink champagne with the people who control the money. I will be fine no matter what. Reform will not hurt me. Reform will hurt you. It will hurt your children. Your parents. Your future. I am telling you because I care. If I did not care I would stay silent and watch you suffer.
You think I am your enemy because I make you uncomfortable. I am not. Your enemy is the one who lies to you and blames the vulnerable while he empties your pockets.
Reform will not save you. Reform will finish you.
Think. Before they take everything.

With the big game being taken out of the village, we found it only fitting to bring the village to the game!
Auchinleck Primary School and St Patrickโs Primary School have been tasked with designing the front cover for the match programme against Celtic.
The winner of the competition which will be chosen by one of the players will have their efforts emblazoned across the front of Talbot's popular Black & Gold Review.
We are also taking pre-orders for programmeโs to gauge numbers for printing. Register your interest by contacting Colin on 07929831057

Think the television commentary was good? Wait till you hear the radio commentary!
Howโs the voice holding up @Alasdair_Lamont? ๐

Darshna Soni, "When we first heard of this attack passengers told us there had been a member of staff on board that train who had blocked the attacker from stabbing a girl"
"They told us he was a hero"
"Today that hero has been named, he is Samir Zitouni"
"A British man of Algerian descent, 48 years old, who has worked for LNER for 20 years"
"And we're told that his bravery saved lives that day"
"In that moment of crisis he stepped forward to protect passengers"
"And Mr Zitouni's family say they're incredibly proud of his bravery"
"When he stopped that girl being stabbed he was slashed in the neck and in the face. He's critically unwell in hospital, but stable"
Man with stubble, "Small boats arrivals are 37,000. There are over 4 million kids in child poverty. And 4.5 million who can't get a dentist appointment" #BBCQT
"We spend 90% of the media discourse on the 37,000. How much more could we achieve if we put that effort into the 4.5 million?"
Well said that man ๐

Lady with long hair, "Over the summer we had riots and vigilante groups here and a lot of politicians came out and said these people have legitimate concerns"
"We've had 28 women murdered in the last five years"
"It seems there is less appetite to come out and riot when the perpetrator looks like someone you might work with or play football with"
