People are being knifed in the streets on a weekly basis, the rape gangs are increasing as are drug gangs and nogo zones. With most crimes of violence being downplayed under an ‘mentally ill’ defense. It’s the perfect socialist society!

recent discovery of natural gas offshore deposits that Turkey wants to claim for itself. The Prince just sent a warship over as a show of force.
