This is not about residency based on investment.

Not a fan of Trump, but these cases were all ridiculous and childish and should be dropped irrespective of whether or not Trump had won the election.

I would like to see Farage incentivised to resign his seat in the UK parliament and accept an appointment as the UK's ambassador in the USA, replacing Karen Pierce who has already served a four year term there.

In Eastern Ukraine Russian speakers not only seem to want to be a part of Russia, it is their fervent wish. Never forget that Ukraine has traditionally been governed in a corrupt and brutal manner.

I rather doubt the python will be 'safely returned to the wild'.

Drug wars are a waste of time, money and lives. Way better to regulate and tax.

As some older Brits may remember, Mandy-Rice Davis once famously said in court, after a bishop with whom she was sexually engaged expired during intercourse, 'i thought he was coming, but he was going '.
