    A wave of protests triggered by widespread lockdown? And then calls for censorship? Sounds familiar.

    Thanks for the video TLDR. Great video touching on the subject overall. In addition to your video, the Nigerian government also froze the accounts of individuals who were financially supporting the protests. Also, the Lagos state government and the Nigerian Army had a back and forth of "We didnt send the army"…"the government sent us"…."Ok we sent the Army but we didnt tell them to shoot".
    The army also took away some of the corpses of the people shot during the massacre.
    Also, the CCTV footage at the location of the shooting suspiciously stopped recording right before the shooting started.

    Basically, the Nigerian Government is trying to cover up the massacre as they always do and we need international attention to remain on this so that they wont be able to get away with it.

Could Another Brexit Debate End Farage?

Published

Nigel Farage said Andy Burnham’s comments about potentially rejoining the EU had given him “the biggest boost in [his] career”. We look at why — even if it seems counter-intuitive — another Brexit debate could actually hurt Farage.

Remainers: Why Hasn’t the Economy Collapsed Yet? – Brexit Explained

Published

on



TeeSpring Store: https://teespring.com/stores/tldr-winter

Before the Brexit referendum, a whole bunch of MPs explained to Britain how the economy would collapse post-Brexit. While Brexit hasn’t yet happened, some did say that the destruction would take place immediately after the vote; which didn’t exactly happen as expected. So in this video, we explain what’s happened and why the economy hasn’t done too badly in the end.
