'What's wrong with the shape of your head': Minneapolis mayoral candidate Omar Fateh faces racist trolling; 'Go to Mogadishu'
Omar Fateh faced racist trolling as he laid out his vision for the Minneapolis mayor race. Somalian-American Minnesota state senator Omar Fateh was called a 'terrorist', a lite version of Zohran Mamdani in the latest racist attack on social media as he laid out his vision as the Minneapolis mayoral candidate. The Democrat candidate said he would save Minneapolis from hostile White House, increase the minimum wage by $20 by 2028 and stop the police department from interacting with the ICE. Americans shamed him for his looks and asked him to go back to Mogadishu with his 'mud hut ' lifestyle, though Omar Fateh was born in the US; his parents were immigrants from Somalia. "I'm not even going to watch this video. I can tell by the shape of his head he's a Somalian. Somalians should not be running for office in the United States of America. He should run for Mayor in Mogadishu so he can enjoy his mud hut lifestyle there rather than bring it here," Conservative political strategist Joey Mannarino wrote. "There's no racism against Somalians, but there are patterns to be noticed. In Minnesota there are five Somalian gangs that operate currently. Five gangs. In one state," he wrote, asking why Muslims in America, like Mamdani, are pushing liberalism while they are traditionally conservative. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Carens Clavis – Every detail tailor-made for your family.

These were the replies that he received as he spoke about his plan as the mayoral candidate. "Minneapolis may get its own Zohran Mamdani. Its basically cloning Zohran's platform," right-wing commentator Eric Daughtery posted. "The phenomenon of Multi-Cultural Marxist Mayors is spreading throughout the USA - what can be done to stop it?" one wrote.

Look inside the tiny Scottish island property that's starring on Scotland's Home of the Year
IWC Media This year, they've downsized, with episode five featuring the Tiny Skye Cabin, which features a living room, bathroom and, on a mezzanine level, one bedroom . It's owned by Lena Vurma and her German husband, Thor Klein, who are both filmmakers. After applying, they were quite surprised to hear back from the SHOTY team, who wanted them to feature on the Highland and Islands shortlist. 'I thought you had to have a big mansion to take part,' says Vurma, who is originally from Switzerland, and has lived in other small structures, like a yurt, cabin and shepherd's hut. The creative couple, whose film Leonora in the Morning Light is released this summer, built the tin-clad dusky blue structure themselves. They wanted to make the most of the ferny hillside and its glorious vista down to Loch Harport on the Minginish Peninsula 'My husband and I bought our croft in autumn 2020, then, of course, there was the pandemic, and Brexit, so we basically went there and put a caravan on the plot,' says Vurma. 'And then the year after, we started to build, with the help of a local builder called Richard. He came highly recommended by our architect, Ian, who designed the cabin for us. Basically, it was an independent production. Thor and I are filmmakers, so we're used to doing these kinds of things on a budget. I oversaw the whole build, and ordered the material, and then Richard built it. And whenever he needed a hand or when we needed more people to help, like when it came to erecting the whole frame, then neighbours chipped in with their manpower. It was a really good collaboration that took quite a long time, but turned out'. Now, they've added a shepherd's hut nearby, which they're letting out to holidaymakers. As well as being on a programme that would 'make our mums proud', getting the word out about that was another incentive to appear on SHOTY. Appropriately, considering the couple's livelihoods, there are cinematic views all around. To take advantage of these, they've installed a surprisingly generous walk-in shower, which boasts the palest green mosaic tiles and floor-to-ceiling windows. There's nobody around, so there's no need for frosted glass or curtains. 'Only the roe deer can see you,' says Vurma. The pair will sometimes go for a dip down at the loch, before walking back to the house and defrosting in a hot shower. To switch between the two is part of the appeal. They love the contrasts between a simple place, and a dramatic landscape. 'We were quite intrigued by how cosy a small space can be, and the exchange with the elements outside,' says the owner. 'So inside is quite minimalist, but then you have this kind of grandiose landscape outside, which makes it feel bigger, in a way'. As the couple regularly travel for their jobs, they're used to being itinerant and having few possessions. That certainly made prepping for their Anna, Banjo and Danny visit easier. 'There's not so much to tidy up because there's not so much here anyway,' Vurma says. In fact, the Tiny Skye Cabin has zero clutter. In the main living space, the signature items include a wood-burning stove and a sheepskin rug, as well as binoculars and checked blankets, to sling over their laps when they're sitting on the deck and looking out for sea eagles. There isn't even a telly. Instead, if they want to watch anything, they have a projector up in the bedroom. We suppose a trditional gogglebox would ruin the vibe. 'Our style is kind of a fusion between Scandi and maybe Japanese minimalism, though the look of the hut is also in the tradition of the Highland agricultural sheds,' says Vurma. 'But then inside, of course, there's a little surprise, because you can live in it'. When you own less, you are perhaps more likely to treasure the items you do possess. 'Everything we have comes with a story,' says Vurma. Their favourite pieces include a beautiful wing-back Hans Wegner-esque seats. 'It's actually from the Talisker Distillery. They have these refurbished chairs, and we had a friend who worked there - a tour guide. She bought some from the distillery, and then sold it to us for quite a good price,' says the owner. 'They're by a British designer, so it's pretty cool to have them in our cabin now'. Up in the bedroom, the main 'ornament' is a fox mask that features in Leonora in the Morning Light, which was shot in Mexico. 'I transported it back, basically, almost wearing it because you couldn't fit it in a bag,' she says. This space is Vurma's favourite, though it's a close call. 'That's a really tough one. I mean, I personally like to be upstairs, as when you sit up in bed, you see the Cuillin Mountain range. It's just perfectly framed, like a painting that always changes,' she says. 'But then we really love the bench downstairs, where we have breakfast and dinner, and we see the road from there, and the eagles. It's a really good spot to a see what's out there, how the weather changes and all the different animals'.

Inside rare 1950s Cold War bunker built to detect impending nuclear attack – and it could be yours for £20,000
The property was one a 'vital part' of Britain's defences LIVE HISTORY Inside rare 1950s Cold War bunker built to detect impending nuclear attack – and it could be yours for £20,000 THE inside of a rare 1950s Cold War bunker - built to detect impending nuclear attacks - has been revealed. Buried 15ft underground in the Norfolk countryside, the former Royal Observer Corps (ROC) dugout was once part of a huge network of posts up and down the country. 8 The bunker was part of an early warning system to detect impending nuclear attack Credit: SWNS 8 It consists of two rooms - and would have been kitted out with basic furniture Credit: SWNS 8 The bunker contains an odd jumble of historic knick-knacks Credit: SWNS And now, the bizarre slice of history, consisting of two rooms, has hit the market - and could be yours for just £20,000. The bunker was built in 1957 in Dersingham, a quaint village in the west of the county - part of an early warning system to detect possible attacks and calculate their fallout. It was manned by trained uniformed volunteers from the 1950s through to 1991, when the last posts were closed and either demolished or sold off. Most remaining posts are in a derelict condition - marking this one as a particularly rare find. A metal ladder leads you down 15 feet into the bunker - which has two compartments. The smaller one contained the toilet, while the larger one was used for observation and sleeping. While in use, it would have been kitted out with standardised furniture in the form of canvas chairs, a folding table, shelf, cupboard and a pair of metal-framed bunk beds. Three vital pieces of equipment would also have been housed here: the Fixed Survey Meter, the Bomb Power Indicator and the Ground Zero Indicator. As well as the bunker, the site also features a concrete hut above ground. The Class A Orlitt hut first emerged in key locations around the country to allow the ROC to monitor and assess possible attacks by aircraft. Living in One of the World's Smallest Apartments Each hut was designed to house three observers, with each volunteer tasked with specific duties. The hut, together with the bunker, were built in response to the heightened threat of nuclear war back in 1957. Mark Upston, of East Anglian Auction House, said: "This is truly a special opportunity for those who are drawn to properties with historical significance. "This post was once a vital part of our defences and will be a treasured asset to a buyer keen on preserving our past." The bunker will be auctioned on May 8 with a £20,000 guide price. It comes after another unusual property also hit the market - this time for the rather greater price of £3.5 million. The impressive estate near Cardiff came complete with three kitchens, an orchard, stables - and even its own football pitch. But it came with a warning: not only was it right next to the A4232 - it was also just 0.8 miles from the M4. 8 A metal ladder leads you down 15 feet underground Credit: SWNS 8 The bunker is located in the quaint village of Dersingham, Norfolk Credit: SWNS 8 It was formerly operated by the Royal Observer Corps (ROC) Credit: SWNS 8 The property also features a concrete Class A Orlitt hut above ground Credit: SWNS 8 Three observers frequented the hut to monitor and assess possible attacks by aircraft Credit: SWNS
