They will also pay her an additional $10,000 in compensation.

Maria was exploited for 55 years by three couples spanning three generations: first two retirees, then a lawyer and a civil servant, and finally a veterinarian and another civil servant.

Every so often, Brazil is shaken by the rescue of a domestic worker who has spent decades in slavery-like conditions in the home of an outwardly respectable family. The stories follow a familiar pattern, differing mainly in the details.

Israel war crimes in the war on Gaza. They've cut electricity, fuel, food and water to Gaza’s population and severely curtailed life-saving humanitarian aid, all of which are acts of collective punishment. The ICC has issued arrest warrants naming Israeli leaders and alleging war crimes and crimes against humanity (including starvation as a method of warfare). They have also been accused multiple times of attempting genocide. Israel is accused of the gravest war crimes - how governments respond could haunt them for years to come

Let that sink in.

In the UK if you protest against a genocide in another country, the government have ordered the Police to arrest you.

Only politicians can be that arrogant. imagine forgetting how the fuck you got into that seat in the first place. Ironically, it's the same reason that he thinks that one person can speak on behalf of everyone else.

Voting for somebody to make your decisions for you is crazy. But expecting that same person to agree with everything that you want is just insane.

Microsoft are paying the price for being Microsoft and being big American intrusive greedy tech. Nothing to do with Trump.

As soon as Microsoft saw how Google and Android were doing it, they copied it. Windows 11 is effectively spyware.

Yes you are. BBC says it so it has to be true. You just probably don't remember doing it and can't see it on the windows.

"Super Easy to Defeat" is the now. They don't care about that.

They just need you to accept it, and move along.

In a few years time, it will not be "super easy to defeat" but will be standard practice and accepted law.

By that stage it will likely be too late to do anything. They will have tied it in with chat control and all of our data.

Can you imagine the freedom that will be discovered 50 years from now in a trend, when people decide to ditch their personal devices and live like they used to 70, 80 years ago (maybe even 60).

So you post a link to Sky instead???

They were in international waters, not belonging to Israel. Israel illegally boarded their boats and took them captive.

It's not really surprising that Starmer has said nothing given his strong links to Israel.
