Following his constellation of vitriolic falsifications of the historical records about the violent occurrence on April 14, 1979, in Liberia, the accidental senator for Montserrsado county Darius Dillion has refused to retract his disgraceful statement and apologize for polluting the historical pages with frightening inaccuracies.

The provision of state-provided poor relief was crystallised in the 1601 Poor Relief Act, which gave parish officials the legal ability to collect money from rate payers to spend on poor relief for the sick, elderly and infirm – the ‘deserving’ poor.

IF ONLY BORIS JOHNSON had been as quick to respond to the threat of covid-19 as he was to react to the threat of a new football super league. No sooner had six British clubs announced their plan to form a breakaway league with top European clubs than the government swung into action. Mr Johnson arranged a summit in Downing Street to discuss ways of scuppering the scheme.
