mardi 26 juin 2018 à 02:00

Measured methane leaks exceed the EPA's estimate of methane leaks by about 60%.

Tories propose to put whole families on the street if one person in the family is a gang member.

This would be self-defeating, since the whole family would be forced to turn to some sort of crime, but it's worse than that: it is fundamentally unjust to use people as hostages for their relatives.

The US has already done things like this.

Unsurpassed power trip
