The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon. The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.

What majority..??This man who couldn't get elected as an MP??

It is heartbreaking to see this young mother & child being treated like this. This must stop. This government has repeatedly abused their power and neglected the very people they are meant to protect.

No money for anything, but wait on the elaborate Independence Day parade. So Sri Lanka

Ranil is spending 200mio to celebrate independence and he says its a future investment and will also feed the hungry. If independence celebrations could feed the hungry then all past such celebrations should've achieved it by now. If so why do these appeals crop up.
