Emma Trimble, "1 in 12 people in London are illegal immigrants" Professor Jonathan Portes, "Emma has taken that figure from a story in The Telegraph.. That story was a lie.. The Telegraph has corrected it, The Times has corrected it.. The Sun has corrected it.. And The Daily Mail has corrected it"

It was reported that some Jews in Ukraine fled after watching the film and thus were saved. Not my ancestors. They stayed as they believed that civilized people cannot do mass executions… We know they were wrong. More about the film here en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profess...

La transición al nuevo modelo se llevará a cabo —gracias a la libertad capitalista — sin control y como desee la compañía. Una parte significativa de los 60.000 repartidores podría quedarse fuera de las contrataciones. ¿Qué derechos se están garantizando entonces? insurgente.org/editorial-el...
