No, it's completely true. Look: https://brandfinance.com/press-rele...pan-and-germany

quote:

The United Kingdom has overcome a soft power risk from temporary instability in late 2022 resulting from tumultuous government changes and the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. This year, the UK ranks 7th in ‘strong and stable economy’ compared to last year’s 12th and improves on ‘politically stable and well governed’ up to 12th from last year’s 16th. The nation’s Global Soft Power Index Score of 71.8 continues an upward trend from 67.3 in the previous year. Like the USA, as the UK is set for a general election this year, it will be interesting to see how the results impact its soft power.

See. It makes perfect sense.

Ukrainians returning home to get dental treatment

A Ukrainian mother living in Wiltshire says she returned to her war-torn country because she could not access NHS dental care.

Natalia Negreba has recently had root canal work done in the city of Dnipro.

The 36-year-old said she was in "excruciating" pain, but could not find NHS dental care or afford to pay for private treatment.

The care board that covers Wiltshire said it had laid on "additional urgent dental care appointments" since 2021.

Dnipro, which is fewer than 100km (62 miles) from the front line, was on the receiving end of a devastating wave of attacks by Russian forces in December.

The Ukrainian air force said it had "never seen so many locations targeted simultaneously" after Russia launched 158 drones and missiles.

Despite the danger the city has faced since Russian forces invaded Ukraine in 2022, Mrs Negriba says she returned with her three-year-old daughter Agnia in July 2023 because she was in so much pain.

I'm lucky. There's a dentist that takes NHS patients in my town

Has anyone geo-located that port? It would be hilarious if they are showing of another country's modern port

Comparing Hamas to the Nazis seems pretty rotten tbh

Like, they aren't good people, but jumping straight to "NAZIS" seems unhealthy.

Joe was a far-right republican in the 1990s and is now to the left of the mainstream GOP. Because they moved and he didn't.
