50 years today—16 Oct 1975. Remembering the #BaliboFive: Shackleton, Cunningham, Stewart, Peters, Rennie — and Roger East. In 2007 a NSW coroner found they were deliberately killed (murdered) by Indonesian special forces. #PressFreedom #TimorLeste

This is for Kfir and Ariel Bibas.
They were ten months and four years old.
They were murdered for being Jewish.

Gunmen snatch nearly 300 Nigerian schoolchildren from morning assembly.
More than 350,000 civilians have been killed in Nigeria by Islamist extremists; 2 million displaced, say the UN.
And now this.
Not unlike the Hamas raid on Israel.
Attackers, probably Islamist militias or allied brigands, storm a school in the second mass abduction in Nigeria in a matter of days as the government struggles to tackle extremist violence and restore order

I think the time has come when the role of the Police & Crime Commissioner for London who is currently @SadiqKhan is separated from the role of @MayorofLondon Sadiq Khan .. This dual role has become far too politicised along with the link & clear influence on @metpoliceuk .. in addition, his salary is approx £155k as Mayor plus the salary of PCC ..between £70-85k ..
The situation has become untenable .. your thoughts ?
