@AndreasKoureas_ Churchill approved the shipment of grain out of India during the famine to support troops of the US in terms of food supplies - he exasperated the famine

@anni_379 @FivebyFive89 @faridahlikestea @meghantonjes For example history books seem to think it’s an achievement to have been at war with 95% of the world at one stage or another, also tend to gloss over how we for lack of a better term raped, robbed and pillaged ourself across half the world

@kenjohn54148265 @Glenloth2002 @Douglas4Moray Scotland raised 174bn in revenue last year, about 64bn in tax. Now adding in the portion wm spends on reserved issues I still reckon there is about 80bn missing from Scotland after the UK block grant. The 15bn hole is due to the way GERS works, Scotland can’t run a deficit

@PeterKe38587041 @CharlesMichel Cause voting at gun point really classes as assession, apparently a turn out of 63% in zaporizhzhia, despite Ukraine still possessing Zaporizhzhia City, with 40% of the population on its own. These were rigged referendums and thus were forcibly annexed by Putin and his Fascists
