Very hard not to reflect upon the fact that if this was the case when my parents came to the UK that they maybe have only just got settlement about 11 years ago when I was 21 and that I wouldn't be entitled to British citizenship. Kind of insane to think that *Thatcher* was less cruel than this.
Home Secretary confirming refugees who go through the asylum system will start at a 20 year route to settlement - but with 10 more years if they arrived irregularly. So many, many refugees will face a 30 year wait for settlement, all while facing reviews every 2.5 years.

Again: if I’d been supporting an actual genocide, whilst criminalising thousands of peaceful pensioners and pursuing grossly racist and transphobic policies, I’d pipe down about having red lines over co-operation at local authority level

@fakehistoryhunter.net Historical toys!
Children loved to play with toys in ancient times too: some 1,600 years ago, a child in Athens was buried with a terracotta horse on wheels.
It was certainly a much-loved which the child was also supposed to play with in the afterlife.

Oh yeah this and the music artist/ band cartoons.
In retrospect, "animated series based on live action movies" was a load bearing sub-genre of cartoons. Even if they weren't good, studios greenlighting 52 episode show orders of stuff like this meant a healthier industry.

But "stop eating that" remains a complete mystery to him.
