"The success enjoyed by the film seems like a miracle considering the attempts made to suppress it. The film did not receive wide distribution rights across the US... Meanwhile, numerous other films on Palestine have increasingly faced similar attempts at apparent censorship."

A Telegraph journalist and a Reform Party MP - they are nothing like you and need you to feel sorry for them earning vastly more than you.

I found that Telegraph article about the family having to cut back on their five holidays a year and you'll never guess who the protagonists are... open.substack.com/pub/mrhenrym...

The world’s largest electric vehicle isn’t a car or bus—it’s the eDumper, a 45-tonne mining truck in Switzerland. It hauls 65 tonnes and can finish a shift with more charge than it started, thanks to regenerative braking. If we can electrify mining trucks, what’s next?
