Defo have to visit to see this by myself. :sleep:
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

Hadrians wall goes through my street. There's a long west to east road running just south of it known as the Fossway - the name deriving from the Latin for ditch,  the street roughly following the course of the ditch that ran behind the wall.

It's known locally that the streets north of the Fossway are quite decent but south of there it gets pretty rough - you don't go in the park after dark.

So yes. Ignore the Scotland and England labels and accurate. At least until you hit the Tyne. :p
I guess the tower represents the one tower block they plan to leave up at church walk. Really horrid example of urban decay.

Lol, I missed this the first time. :)

Hadrian's wall is really something I want to see for myself one day though, what's left of it. :)
Northern England and Scotland too.  I'd like to visit the Scottish islands of Orkney and Shetland too.

She is a military veteran.  And she does have a spotless record of service and sacrifice.  Unfortunately that service is to the Kremlin.

I don't like this agent of Russia talk.  It turns being a paid agent of Russia into a meme.  It's a real world crime. Innocent until proven guilty.

Presumed innocent until proven guilty. Some may not share that presumption.

A crime is only a crime if a member of the other party did it.

Is it necessarily a crime to be an asset of Russia?  Given how many people seem to not try too hard to hide their links with unsavory Russian elements, I would guess that it's not always the case.

No. For that reason I disagree with Yi's comment above.  There are plenty of Americans willingly serving the Kremlin's interest without committing a single criminal act.

The Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) of 1938 requires registration for anyone who:

    Conducts political or advocacy work for a foreign entity

Engages in lobbying, advertising, public relations, or fundraising for a foreign entity
Acts on behalf of a foreign entity to influence U.S. policy or public opinion

Her biggest donors are Putin apologists.

You might like like people calling her what she is, but you're gonna have to face facts.

But they must be "under the direction or control, of a foreign principal or of a person any of whose activities are directly or indirectly supervised, directed, controlled, financed, or subsidized in whole or in major part by a foreign principal."  One has to prove the control in order to prosecute.
