Yes, far-right activists have been incorrectly sharing a photo from Liverpool in 2005, during the Champion’s League parade. The aerial photograph shows hundreds of people gathered around St George’s Hall, celebrating the return of their football team

    4/5 If you love a good theme, Las Iguanas is a restaurant you might like to try.

  • Books Book Review: 1984 by George Orwell
    1/5 1984 is always cited as one of the best books ever written. It’s supposed to be intelligent, sharp and profound. Instead, I found it to be dull, rambling and unremarkable.
