Here's a fact for you all. Prior to 2017 there was not a single documented case of any individual travelling by small boats across the English Channel to caim asylum in the UK. Not ONE. This current 'boats' crisis has been largely caused by Brexit. But for some reason NOBODY is saying that.

Time BBC & media stopped promoting the Reform Party before it is too late. Unbelievable they deny climate change & whilst most people realise Brexit was a dreadful mistake Reform are in denial here as well. Think of your children their living with such people as their Government! Appalled.

Edward II @TheRSC Stratford-upon-Avon - pacy, brutal & genuinely thrilling, with a terrific cast. A cliché to call it a play for our times, but as one incompetent, self-absorbed autocrat gives way to a ruthless one, it certainly makes the case for parliamentary democracy. www.rsc.org.uk/edward-ii/
