He didn’t. It was his late father, who moved money to charities in order to avoid inheritance tax.
While people worry for loved ones, who are having to wait for ambulances, having to wait for lifesaving operations. Loved ones who might die from hypothermia. At least they’ll know the Duke of Westminster is more concerned about avoiding paying taxes and lives a life of unimaginable luxury.

Protests rightly against Iran.

But Saudi Arabia’s war against Yemen?

Morocco’s occupation of Western Sahara?

Not a peep.

AJ, I 💯% agree. It had crossed my mind too.

Haven’t seen many of these right wing idiots forever telling us to keep politics out of sport?

Yes, saw this on Twitter and reported it.
Very much doubt Twitter will delete it, being a blue tick?

Another blue tick user telling the German team not to forget their flags, a reference to pride flags.

#Qatar: Famous Qatari sports commentator Mohammed al-Kaabi mocks the Germans who were recently knocked out from the World Cup…

He's referring of course to the pride flags.

What next? Abolish public schools charity status*, meaning they’d have to pay tax!
*giving them £700m tax free a year.

Just to add, reported the post, to FB, as it violated their community rules…on
violence, all be it the state/police, posted by the usual suspects (a retiree cop goon*) to be told it doesn’t violate its rules!?
*these retiree cop goons, too old for the state pension, old enough for the police pension (55**)are forever on social media, to “support” fellow cop*** goons online.
Only to be told by fb, it doesn’t violate its rules?!!
No wonder the Metropolitan Police (and number of other police forces) are in special measures)
**55 no one talks about golden goodbyes when talking about these ex government employees!

*** Posted on social media that the conviction of Sarah Everard, murderer by Metropolitan Police Officer, PC Wayne Couzens, wasn’t a police officer? Whose nickname, by colleges, fellow Metropolitan police officers, was THE RAPIST.
