English Room
Internet is a wondrous tool and I use it, (ain't I a fool?)for you dear pupils, who wish to speak the Queen's English. Well, maybe not but at least, if asked whether you speak English or not, don't say: "I do not!"

HEC Paris graduation day.
Anne-Fleur is the new Great (sic) An HEC alum (Hautes Études Commerciales or sth like that)... so an HEC alum takes a stand.
Of course we remember Greta Thunberg but she's much older than Greta some time ago. Tell me what you think of Anne-fleur Goll in the comments.

Don't extradite Assange
And that's Priti Patel and the CPs, the Crown Prosecution services. She could refuse the extradition of Julian Assange or she could have Julian Assange extradited to the U.S.
Freedom of the press and freedom of thought are at stake.
I sincerely hope Assange will not be extradited to the U.S., that he will walk free out of Belmarsh to find his wife Stella Assange and her two kids, Max and Gabriel.
On June 2012, after being given political asylum into the Ecuadorian Embassy in London where Assange fathered secretly Stella's children. She was one of his lawyers.
After spending 7 years in this embassy (40m²...) in April 2019, he was evicted from the Ecuadorian apartment after a change of government in Ecuador and was immediately sent to Belmarsh prison, built after 9/11, a prison for ...terrorists...
That's where the founder of Wikileaks who revealed war crimes is rotting while he should be free and leading the truth-seekers of the world.
So here is Priti Patel. Please Ma'am, free Julian Assange, hear our plea. We're fighting for freedom.
