Not place marking at all, but did anyone see the photo of Obama reading Where the Wild Things Are on the BBC website article on politicians looking awkward with kids (and 1 who never did)?

Can we start a petition to get him to read it as a bedtime story on CBeebies? Please?

As quite a few are wearing their work vests, I can only assume they were brought in from the job re Boeing. Will be interesting to see what response Trump gets.

It shows that the number of arrests of illegal immigrants last week is not actually massively unusual and is actually around the same as the average rate under Obama. I can't access the full article, but here is the link for anyone who can

Goal of new order is to bolster original initiative against legal and constitutional scrutiny, rather than revise it in a substantive fashion, say sources
