Should HTS have their terrorist label removed.
The new leaders of Syria, HTS, are a proscribed terrorist group because of links to Al Quaeda and ISIS. But they have never attacked foreign targets or civilian targets in Syria. They have only fought against the Assad regime.

The Mouse that Roars (Edited)

Members of our armed forces are leaving at an alarming rate and recruitment is very low.
We have a total military size of about 150,000 (56% Army) including the Army, Navy and Air Force. It is the size of a pea nut compared to most other countries. There are 3 times as many young people in our Scouting organisation.
Great Britain of yesteryear is now a tiny mouse that roars. -
I've just spent several days without a proper water supply because a valve jammed at the Cheam water treatment plant. It was either very low pressure of totally dried up. They supplied bottled water so I could at least get a cuppa and I used rainwater from the garden to flush the loo, but I couldn't have a shower for four days.
This morning I received four separate letters from SES Water, two of which had identical contents.
It just adds insult to injury that they're wasting money on postage when the infrastructure is failing.
They'll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes. -

I think it's despicable that the girl's family waited until they were back in UK before contacting the Dubai police so they could arrest the boy.

Politicians and Polio (Edited)
The lawyer assisting Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in selecting federal health officials for the incoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump has filed a petition urging the government to revoke its approval of the polio vaccine.
The vaccine has safeguarded millions of people for decades against a virus that can cause paralysis or death.
Trump said he's going to direct Kennedy to study the rising rates of autism diagnoses and that he'd consider getting rid of some vaccines for children, falsely suggesting autism may be caused by vaccines.
"We're going to have a big discussion. The autism rate is at a level that nobody ever believed possible. If you look at things that are happening, there's something causing it," Trump said. -

What's their justification this time?
For Israel to launch air strikes against Syrian towns and ports. And to take Syrian land beyond the Golan Heights.
The Golan Heights are originally Syria's until Israel occupied them in 1981.
Netanyahu is the middle east version of Putin. They even look similar. -
