Is the child they have arrested a terrorist. Is he /she British , how long have they lived in this country ? Were they known previously to the social services police or other authorities. Was he/she excluded from school now or at anytime.
Surely according to Farage and those who said this type of information should be made publicly and immediately will be asking the same or

President Donald Trump's bid to cut off birthright citizenship is a "flagrantly unlawful attempt to strip hundreds of thousands American-born children of their citizenship based on their parentage," attorneys for 18 states, the city of San Francisco and the District of Columbia said Tuesday in a lawsuit challenging the president's executive order signed just hours after he was sworn in Monday.
The lawsuit accused Trump of seeking eliminate a "well-established and longstanding Constitutional principle" by executive fiat.
"The President has no authority to rewrite or nullify a constitutional amendment or duly enacted statute. Nor is he empowered by any other source of law to limit who receives United States citizenship at birth," the lawsuit said.
Let's see how the Supreme Court deals with this... -
Brilliant Trump Card Played (Edited)
Within 24 hours in office Donald Trump scrapped the insane electric vehicle mandate in a "Lets get back to common sense and bugger the Greens" Presidential approach. This will put the American auto industry back on track for development and higher production and profitability of normal fossil fuel vehicles.
Electric vehicles are a madmen's solution to destroy the worlds industrial economy in rapid time. Little old UK continues with their insane electric vehicle target on the path to economic doom and monumental decline in standard of living to the British people to become a 3rd rate nation.

I have just had an engineers visit and a surprising explanation of what the network will be doing over the next few months.
Currently my set-top box is the size of a laptop. This is going to be replaced by a small box about 3x3x0.25 inches in the next few months.
It is all to do with advanced network fibre optic cabling.
I am told that all TV providers are doing the same.
In fact new Virgin customers are being supplied with the small box now.
Downside, the new small set-top box will NOT have a recording facility, all will be online viewing - no recording.
In my case, I then see no benefit whatsoever in paying Virgin for my TV service and will cancel my TV package with them and simply watch FreeView.
Progress ? Yes, in reverse !! -

*Knowledge is key*
*What is the biological phenomenon that appears in human gradual loss of muscle mass, strength and function when they are growing older?*
This is known as *Sarcopenia*!
*Sarcopenia* is a gradual loss of muscle mass, strength and function... the loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength as a result of aging... The situation may be terrible, depends on individual.
Let's explore & analyze multiple ways to prevent *sarcopenia* thus:
1. Develop the habit, if you're able to stand... just don't sit, and don't lie down if you can sit!
2. Whenever an elderly person falls ill, and get admitted to the hospital, do not ask him/her for more rest, or to lie down, relax and/or not get out of bed... It's not helpful. Help them take a walk... Except if they lost stamina to do so.
Lying down for a week causes loss of at least 5% of muscle mass! And unfortunately, the elderly can't recover the loss muscles!
Usually, most seniors/elderly who hire assistants loses muscle faster than the active ones!
3. *Sarcopenia* is more terrifying than osteoporosis!
With osteoporosis, one just need to be careful not to fall, while sarcopenia not only affects the quality of life but also causes high blood sugar due to insufficient muscle mass!
4. The fastest loss of muscles (atrophy) is through idleness in muscles of the legs...
Because when in sitting or lying position, the legs do not move, and the strength of the muscles of the legs are directly affected... This is especially important to pay unto utmost attention!
Going up and down stairs... walking, running and cycling are all great exercises, and can increase muscle mass!
For a better quality of life at old age... Move... & don't waste your muscles!!
Aging starts from the feet upwards!
Keep your legs active and strong!!
▪️ As we grow older on a daily basis, our feet should always stay active and strong.
If you don't move your legs for just 2 weeks, your real leg strength will decrease by 10 years.
Therefore, *regular exercises such as walking, cycling etc. are very important*.
The feet are a kind of columns that bear the entire weight of the human body.... So,
*_Walk every day!_*
