I've been sent this horrendous story:  UK TEFL teacher Andy Russell. Lived in Far East - met a local woman called Molly, married, had kids. 1/5
They eventually return to UK in 2012. Under stringent laws - introduced under May - Molly is then obliged to return to China while Andy searches for job that will earn at least £18,600 – the minimum earnings threshold for his wife to be allowed to stay. 2/5
They are forced to communicate through Skype and Molly becomes known as “computer mummy”. Eventually she is given permission to stay but guess what?
Yesterday this happened
More background here. Just shocked that a family can be divided like this
channel4.com/news/the-famil…
Family separated. To what end? To whose benefit? To satiate an angry mob and the tabloid press.
All of that put in place by a PM who goes to church every Sunday and who claims to be a Christian.
I don't know if you are aware of this cruel turn of events going on in your constituency Wera. A family torn apart for no good reason

Incredible isn't it. Vote Leave were found guilty of committing massive electoral fraud. Leave EU official boss Arron Banks was found guilty of misusing data - and it's never mentioned. It's as if it doesn't matter that the two Leave camps cheated. No reporting on News. Nothing.
It's worse really because Darren Grimes, Nigel Farage and co continue to get invited on by the national broadcasters.
I was brought up by my Tory parents to believe that Britain at its heart was a country of fair play and decency. Its 21st century incarnation has been exposed through Brexit to be a shallow and craven little place - where cheats and scoundrels prosper along with their lies.

This long long read by Adam Curtis about the creation of the IEA by Old Etonian Antony Fisher is just incredible. He was inspired to set it up after reading an article in Readers Digest - and went on to create another 150 institutions

Fisher is Rachel Whetsone's grandfather. That's Rachel Whetsone VP of communications for WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger - and partner of anti establishment bag carrier Steve Hilton
Thanks to @aridgetoofar for sending me this. A truly amazing read

Trying to compile a list of all the UKIP spin off parties. So far I've got:

@DrTeckKhong and his Sovereign Party

The Democrats and Veterans

The Time Party

The Brexit Party

One Nation - Henry Bolton lot

Any more?
@DrTeckKhong The New SDP doesn't count
@DrTeckKhong We're up to about 20 current or defunct UKIP splinter parties. Incredible. It's like they can't stop leaving

1.’Dada ‘ was actually the name of the Dutch company that imported Fake Ghee Called ‘vanaspati ghee ‘ into India in the 1930s as a cheap substitute for Pure ‘desi ghee ‘ Which was prepared from cow or Buffalo milk in India 🤔
2. Desi Ghee was locally made product sustaining Indian Economy-on other hand-So Called ‘Vanaspati ghee’was a type of vegetable shortening made up of hydrogenated or highly saturated vegetable oil and made to just’mimic desi Ghee’🤔!

It was a Fake Product to fool the Indians 😎
3. Proper ‘Desi Ghee ‘ was expensive & Lever Brothers, now Unilever (Hindustan Unilever in India), knew there was a market for a substitute for desi ghee, since many Indians could barely afford Ghee in those days 😨

1/11 For a long time we didn't have the money to apply for #citizenship. Now we can manage, just barely, as long as we don't use a lawyer, so we started the process in earnest last June. I had friends fill out all the reference pages (two different friends for each of us).
2/11 We worked out when all of us had been out of the country&started to fill in the forms. Soon it became clear we had a better chance if we applied as a whole family. My EU husband applied for& received Settled Status, then took&passed the Life in the UK test, then
3/11 took&passed the spoken English test. Finally we were ready. Now we discover the passport checking service has been privatised. My husband hasn't been able to get in touch with them to find out how we can submit our applications without losing all four of our passports
