Why is it I keep hearing things against the migrants but not against those taking advantage of them such as the agriculture and the tourism industry? And what about the bars, restaurants, hotels, and others profiting by washing the money of human trafficking?

Two things about the Post Office scandal.

One, their computer system accused around 3,500 of their employees of being thieves - some accused of stealing tens of thousands of pounds - and yet no-one twigged that this was highly statistically unlikely to at least exercise some caution and investigate?

But, two, some of the postmasters and postmistresses paid out of their own pocket this false debt to the Post Office. But the accusations were false and the machine's accounting wrong. That money was not, in fact, stolen and the Post Office didn't lose out.

In actual fact, they've doubled their money. Because the, say, £18,000 they accused of being stolen was not stolen, so the Post Office was not actually out of pocket for that at all. It was not true. But then they've demanded £18,000 from the postmaster, who's scrimped and saved to pay it back, despite never having stolen it.

So the £18,000 they never lost in the first place and then they were given £18,000 on top of that. Doubling that money.

They should give this money back to these people immediately. Right now.

Otherwise, that's the actual criminal theft here. The Post Office received money to which it is not entitled. Give it back right now.

Or they should be prosecuted for the actual theft that's taken place. Not from the Post Office, but by the Post Office.

Algarve has water for 8 months more.

If it doesn't raindown there by the end of February they'll start mandatory restrictions.

In the meantime some more data is coming out. They have 42 officially registered golf courses and only 2 use reclaimed water. This in addition to the avocados, mangos, and lot of other tropical fruit they decided to grown down there to export to Europe.

That's going to be four interesting years, if it happens.

Trump will stop Biden's wars in Ukraine and the middle east on day one. The establishment's making a lot of money from that so they'll need to rig the election again to keep him out.

I don't believe Trump will stop Israel.

As for the war in the Ukraine he will cut the money. Actually the Congress is already a kind of doing that. The EU won't bank the entire war. They'll have to negotiate, and Russia will get the Eastern are of Ukraine they wanted in the first place, and Ukraine will keep the rest. And hopefully they will get to an understanding sharing the water of Dnipro. Something like that.

Algarve and their drought.

Mandatory cut of 15% on water usage by the tourism industry and for people in general

Almost 50% cut for the agriculture in the eastern half, and 25% for the rest.

Trump already handled de-escalation with Iran after Soleimani.

Trump loves Israel. Or rather loves attention from the voter base that loves Israel and Israel itself. In his last term he stated Jerusalem is the real capital of Israel.

Trump will be sending gunships into Gaza to shoot women and children with pinpoint accuracy.

I agree that Trump will starve the Ukraine of support. The Republicans are already doing that without him.

The notion that the establishment will be rigging the election too maintain their profiteering position is either lunacy or Russian propaganda.
