This post will predominantly be posting all manner of links to recent atrocities and a petition that can be signed against one of them that have happened over the recent months and years in both Greece and Russia.

Now admittedly these are just limited to LGBT issues, but I will be following up on these matters and discussing them as they come. And one specifically for England, behold the desperate attempts of a despotic leader to further place a stranglehold upon us:

Undoubtedly a lot of you will not have heard about this, so you're welcome for the information.
