Roasting Hot in Spain

from Europe Calling

The heatwave affecting central, southern and eastern #Spain produced a new record on Thursday afternoon.... With a storm brewing on the horizon of London–Brussels relations over the Brexit negotiations, Felipe VI and Letizia of Spain finally began their twice-postponed state visit to the United Kingdom.

Before the crisis, €1,000 a month was considered a low salary. Furious residents have been left 'angry and distressed' after learning that the HS2 rail link will pass through their newly built £200,000 homes. Sadiq Khan has warned Donald Trump that there will be 'no red carpet' should he visit the United Kingdom. Thousands of students may have voted twice to try to put Jeremy Corbyn into Downing Street. The UK education system has become increasingly gripped by a culture of Orwellian groupthink, where only fashionable, Left-wing opinions are deemed acceptable. Any wish to deviate from this outlook — such as by backing Brexit or the Conservatives — is treated as a kind of heresy, an offensive challenge to the ruling creed. A Bristol cyclist who had her bike stolen beat the thieves at their own game when she set up a sting to take it back from the man selling it on Facebook.
