   @JonathanMBR You should be aware that this is not a quote by Voltaire, but by an active neo-nazi. It's been used a lot lately as a way to say that vaccination is wrong just because people who spread lies about dangers of vaccination gets pushback for spreading lies, but where probably meant originally to say that the jews control the world, because antisemitism is frowned upon. So the quote is both from a bad source and not true, even if it has a touch of truth to it. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/massie-neo-nazi-voltaire/

     #Kenyan police on Monday blocked a news conference intended to air allegations of human rights and environmental abuses by British troops in the country, hours before King Charles arrives for a four-day state visit.
     Buckingham Palace has said Charles' visit will acknowledge "painful aspects of the UK and #Kenya's shared history". The #British ruled for more than six decades before the East #African nation won its independence in 1963.
