This is the sort of development that can unravel a regime when its supporters feel their sacrifices have been wasted and they have been taken for suckers. #Zelensky can block the decision, though his supporters in parliament would hardly have voted for it without a nod - to put

The Daily Mirror describes the Brighton man who sliced up another man with a sword, and has now been given an indefinite Hospital Order, as an 'OAP wife' and 'elderly woman'. At no point does it mention that he's actually just a cross-dressing man mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/o…
