@NihilTuulis @Jclinc19 @robbystarbuck @LacrossDennis Clearly your missing my point. Yes we use pounds hence my statement of no dollars being extracted 🤣😂🤣
English
@PeteSmethers @Jclinc19 @robbystarbuck @LacrossDennis If you're British why do you call it dollars and not pounds? As a mexican it'd be weird if I say they're not extracting "dollars" from us instead of "pesos".

I think it’s hilarious that Democrats spent their political might and tons of money on "NO KINGS" protests just to give a standing ovation to the LITERAL King of England.
You really can’t make this stuff up.
Biggest bullshit artists of the century. 😂

@Jclinc19 @robbystarbuck @LacrossDennis Agreed levels of immigration are too high but still no dollars are being extracted
English
@PeteSmethers @robbystarbuck @LacrossDennis Check your level of immigration. You are having plenty of money extracted and also, your free speech.

🌾Back In The Field
After #training and preparation during the harsh winter months, our teams in Chernihiv, #Ukraine, have returned to the field to clear land of #explosive hazards and help make everyday life possible again.

@robbystarbuck @LacrossDennis British here and I can vouch that we have never had any dollars extracted from us. Try again you absolute melt

@LacrossDennis Bills that get passed in parliament still need his approval. He approves council business. He also plays a role in foreign affairs. He has real power. He also lives lavishly due to generations of extracting $$ from British citizens.

FSD is pleased to stand alongside our partners in supporting #MineAction in #Ukraine and to emphasise the important contribution of #women.
UN Women Ukraine@unwomenukraine
On International #MineAwarenessDay, we are reminded that landmines and explosive remnants of war continue to threaten lives, livelihoods, and the future of entire communities. For many in #Ukraine - especially those living and working on the land - safety is not a given, but something that must be restored. Behind these efforts are women who are reshaping the humanitarian mine action sector every day - from deminers and risk education or survey specialists to farmers reclaiming their land after clearance. Their stories are about courage, resilience, and the power to rebuild. This April fourth, we stand with the women who are making land safe again, supporting their communities, and paving the way for others. @FAOUkraine @DRCinUA @fsd__ch
