My usual message to our so called ‘impartial’ broadcasting corporation and our ‘OXO’ government…
“You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.”
And here we have another 100% agenda piece. All-women is something to celebrate for the BBC. The hypocrisy and double standards of these people never ceases to amaze me. My favourite line is:
Canon Pastor Rev Canon Alison Adams:
“The church has had centuries of being all-male; why shouldn’t we be all-female?”
For the same reason you think it shouldn’t be all-male you stupid woman.
Then it drones on and every single woman gets interviewed to tell us how much better life is without men.
Mind you, it’s entirely what I expect from the BBC’s new wave of ‘journalists’. Meet clone #3762
She ends the article with:
“It shows people that it doesn’t matter who you are, you can achieve what you want to achieve and you can be in a leadership role.”
I have said before, and say it again, in 40 years of working have seen workplace bullying many times. with only one exception, it has been females, ganging up, sucking up and brazenly flirting with the male boss and then with him in their pocket, they target and gang up on individuals.
They bring the nasty playground tactics into the workplace, as an example they will form a club where they go out of an evening, and next day whispering and giggling about it.
Seen that over and over, too many times to be a coincidence.
There is little more offensive in the workplace than wimmin whispering in a group, it happens a lot.
I met an old friend recently, female and in a good position in higher education, she told me the same story at her place where she just felt she had to go.
One will sit in a meeting, and they will come up with an outrageous accusation or criticism, and before you have a chance to respond, will interrupt you and say “let’s move on”
If you challenge that, you will then be accused of being argumentative, or, in that favourite word in local authorities “inappropriate”.
I always remember an elderly man at a bar who was alongside us and overhearing our conversation about women. He piped up with, “how can you trust anyone who paints their face to appear very different to what they actually look like”.
Subtle. Over 50 years ago and never forgotten.
A black and white problem? Police officers visit pub to confiscate ‘Golly’ dolls despite force having previously decided no laws were broken. Council confirms display does not breach its rules
SIX Essex police officers descended on a borough pub this week and confiscated a number of dolls that have been hanging behind its bar for many years.
They were responding, in a repetition of a similar incident in 2018, to a complaint that the dolls – replicas of the historic Robertson jam jar golliwogs – are racially offensive.
It’s a little more than five years since police last turned up at the pub, the White Hart on Argent Street in Grays, following a previous complaint and concern raised by Thurrock Council’s licensing team.
In 2018 pub landlords Chris and Benice Ryley, backed by their regulars, insisted the dolls were a part of British history and that they were on display in a privately-owned venue and had been for many years.
They refused to remove the dolls and – and after investigations by both the council and police – nothing further happened.
That is until Tuesday (4 April) this week when, 15 minutes before the pub was due to open at lunctime, six officers arrived at the pub and told Benice they were taking the dolls away because there had been a complaint and a visitor to the pub had been ‘quite upset about them’.
The collectable Coronation Golly badge
This time, it is entirely a police action. A statement issued by Thurrock Council confirms: “This is not a matter which the council has any powers to act on under the Licensing Act 2003 or Public Order Legislation.”
Benice explains what happened, saying: “Chris is away abroad and will be until the middle of May. Police said as he is the licensee they need to interview him and they have taken the dolls away in the interim.
“I don’t understand why we have to go through all this again. They have even taken away the badges that used to be given out by Robertsons and a book that explains the history of the marketing.
“We have the police taking away information that is literally the history of this country. And why? We are quite happy to call them dolls, not golliwogs, but even the officer who wrote down the inventory as he was taking them away described the larger one as a golliwog and the others as golly dolls. So even the police don’t know what to call them.
“I understand that some people may not like them and they are entitled to that view, but they don’t have to come into the pub.
“As far as we are aware we are not breaking any laws by displaying them, and that was proved last time when we were investigated. If we were not breaking the law then, why are we breaking the law now?”
It transpires the police action on Tuesday follows a complaint made 39 days ago.
In the interim since its receipt the force made the call that it believes there was sufficient reason to believe a ‘hate crime’ has taken place. So six officers were dispatched.
A statement from the police says: “”We are investigating an allegation of hate crime in Grays reported to us on 24 February.
“On Tuesday, 4 April, we attended a location off Argent Street, Grays, and seized several items in connection with our investigation.”
The force has declined to explain why it took a contrary position in 2018.
The debate over the dolls has raged long and hard.
A golliwog is a black doll that started appearing in children’s books in the late 1800s.
It is historically linked to the term ‘blackface’ – white people blacking up to imitate black people to entertain – and “wog” is a derogatory form for people with dark skin.
Most notably in the UK, the term golliwog became associated with a jam company.
The Robertson’s golliwog symbol (not seen as racially charged at the time) appeared in 1910 after a trip to the US to set up a plant in Boston by company owner James Robertson.
His son John noticed local children playing with little black rag dolls with white eyes. Mr Robertson senior bought one of the dolls and brought it back to Britain.
Intrigued by the popularity of the ‘Golly’, he thought it would make an ideal mascot and trade mark for the Robertson’s range of products and it was first used in 1911.
In particular the company created small metal badges featuring the dolls and a large number of styles were created, including ones that celebrated the coronation in 1937.
The Robertson ‘Golly’ was not only limited to badges. There were Robertson golly dolls, ceramic, golly games for children, the 1979 illustrated storybook ‘Here Comes Golly’ by Gyles Brandreth and even golly clothing. At the start of the 1980s the hard enamelled badges were replaced with cheaper-to-produce acrylic badges, but this did not affect their popularity.
When production stopped in 2001, more than 20 million golly badges had been sent out. Samples of the badges were among the items confiscated by police at the White Hart.
And there have been many instances – perhaps most notably children’s author Enid Blyton – of golliwog character being featured in books
Robertson’s officially retired ‘Golly’ in 2002. The company had found that their trademark was, on the whole, no longer popular with children, although the scheme was still successful and popular with adult collectors.
Enid Blyton’s book.
Robertson’s always insisted that they did not retire the image because of the pressure of political correctness, but simply for commercial reasons.
The brand director at Robertson’s at the time commented: “We are retiring ‘Golly’ because we found families with kids no longer necessarily knew about him. We are not bowing to political correctness, but like with any great brand we have to move with the times.”
The issue over the public’s view on golliwogs in the modern day is encapsulated in an article published by noted academic Professor Tim Bale of Queen Mary University in London, where he speaks of his own dislike and taste of the doll, the image and the term – but he says the wider public have vastly differing opinions.

One reason I came to this site was working in Luton for a couple of years, and noting the division of society, with muslims immigrating to the UK and creating their own society and the aggression they bring with them.
I have worked in London and did some stuff with a muslim charity and they were fine, running a foodbank etc
But, Luton was like another world to me, Bury Park Road, the looks I would get, and the charity boxes in the shops that were taken away when they saw me, and the men distributing leaflets that would suddenly stop when they saw me.
The worst thing was the children, 12 to 14 year olds, I would take some time in a coffee shop during my work and they arrived, from one of the “special schools” in arab clothes and all sit and stare at me.

There exists a conspiracy theory concerning the removal of our latterday Lady Jane Grey, ‘The Nine Days Queen’ of Prime Ministers – in other words our John Paul I, pontiff for 33 days, or call her our Karl Dönitz, German Führer for 23 days, if like Gary Lineker or Ken Livingstone you’re one of those people over-keen to slip into the internet meme about those Teutonic National Socialists – Godwin’s Law – but I refer of course to the short-lived Liz Truss premiership.
Ah, Liz Truss. With the looks of a startled budgerigar, she was raised on 100 varieties of cheese, Neo-Thatcherism and David Cameron’s diversity hiring policies. Not for our Dave was the Norfolk ‘Turnip Taliban’s’ choice of competancy in their constituency candidate – he had to have MPs with lady parts to emulate Blair’s babes.
Well, she wasn’t the great-granddaughter of Henry VII, isn’t fondly remembered with a museum built in her honour in the little Italian town of Canale d’Agordo, and didn’t command the Kriegsmarine’s U-boat arm, but she had some right-wing fiscal instincts to recommend her and she found herself in the right place at the right time to appeal to party members. And was a fly in the ointment from the point of view of the globalist liberal hegemony.
And credit where credit is due she – more or less – says so: Truss condemns ‘global cartel of complacency’ for fixing tax rates (Sunday Telegraph) – remember folks, it’s not a conspiracy theory, if it’s true.
“Not content with high taxes in their own countries, we now see governments seeking to agree high taxes around the free world”
During the Conservative leadership contest last August, Ms Truss’s allies suggested she would consider withdrawing Britain’s support for the minimum tax pledge and risking a diplomatic row with Joe Biden, who proposed the idea.

Putin tells US envoy
Washington’s support to Ukraine in 2014, reason for current conflict, Putin tells US envoy
Russian President Vladimir Putin told new US ambassador Lynne Tracy in a Kremlin ceremony on Tuesday that US support for a revolution in Ukraine in 2014 had led to the current situation where Russia and Ukraine were in conflict.
US support to 2014 Ukraine revolution led to war: Putin
Moscow, April 5
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday told the new US and EU ambassadors in blunt language that their countries were responsible for a dramatic deterioration in relations since Russia sent its armed forces into Ukraine last year.
Putin told new US ambassador Lynne Tracy that US support for a revolution in Ukraine in 2014 had led to the current situation where Russia and Ukraine were in conflict.
“Dear Madam Ambassador, I know you may not agree, but I cannot but say that the United States’ use… of such tools as support for the so-called colour revolutions, support in this regard for the coup in Kyiv in 2014, ultimately led to today’s Ukrainian crisis,” Putin said.
He said relations were in “a deep crisis” that was “based on fundamentally different approaches to the formation of the modern world order”.
Russia responded to an uprising in Kyiv that drove out a pro-Russian President in 2014 by seizing the Crimean peninsula from Ukraine and backing an armed separatist movement that took control of territory in eastern Ukraine. Putin took a similar line with the new EU ambassador, Roland Galharague, who took up his position in September, telling him that “the European Union initiated a geopolitical confrontation with Russia”.
Trump claims Obama-era State Department backed 2014 Ukraine uprisings
‘We’re teetering on the brink of World War Three,’ says former president
Speaking in a video, in which he said “World War III has never been closer than it is right now,” Trump vowed to “clean house of all of the warmongers and America’s last globalists.”
The February 2014 “Maidan revolution” in Ukraine led to then President Viktor Yanukovych fleeing the country and a pro-Western government coming to power.
In November of the previous year, Yanukovych announced the suspension of preparations for a historic pact between Kyiv and Brussels aimed at shifting Ukraine out of Moscow’s orbit and refused to sign a trade pact and political association agreement with the European Union. After the decision, mass street protests erupted in Ukraine.
Trump reiterated that he was the only president in generations who did not start a war and the only president “who rejected the catastrophic advice of many of Washington’s generals, bureaucrats and the so-called diplomats who only know how to get us into conflict, but they don’t know how to get us out.”
“In October 2012 the Party of Regions won the largest share of seats in parliamentary elections, and most observers characterized the polling as relatively free and fair. It appeared that Yanukovych was attempting to pivot toward the West in April 2013, when he ordered the release of Lutsenko in advance of the signing of an association agreement with the European Union.
Just days before that treaty was to be signed in November 2013, Yanukovych pulled out of the deal, triggering a scramble among EU leaders and sparking a wave of popular protests in Kiev. Putin pledged billions in financial assistance as the demonstrations in Kiev’s Maidan (Independence Square) continued into 2014. Yanukovych responded by enacting a series of anti-protest measures that were hastily repealed by the parliament after two demonstrators were killed in clashes with police in January 2014. Protests spread to eastern Ukraine, traditionally Yanukovych’s stronghold, and violence in the Maidan escalated dramatically. More than 70 people were killed in clashes with police and security forces in February 2014, as the remaining support for Yanukovych and his administration crumbled. The parliament voted to impeach Yanukovych on February 22; he responded by denouncing the action as a coup and fleeing the capital. His whereabouts unknown, protesters descended upon Yanukovych’s opulent residence outside Kiev, and Ukraine’s interim government issued a warrant for his arrest on charges of mass murder.”

It looks like Bakhamut has fallen and Zelinsky is now considering calling a surrender to Russia.
This is an outrage! Biden and Johnson both started a war in which the cities of Ukraine lie in ruins and half a million Ukrainians lie dead.
It needn’t have happened as Russia did not wish for a military conflict and tried to avoid it by neogtiation which Zelensky appeared to at least be considering, but it was scotched by Johnson and Biden, and now as a result of these twos lethal idiocy.
There needs to be calls for Johnson to be put on trial for this, there is no excuse, he personally interevened and that intervention led to all these deaths not to mention Bidens attack on Europe and the price of energy going through the roof destroying the European economy.
What is worse I expect now the US which has become an empire of evil under Biden will almost certainly turn its malevolent gaze towards China, manufacturing a conflict there as well which it will lose, and cause great loss of life in the process.
Maybe Ayatollah Komenei was right when he named America the Great Satan because it sure seems to be trying to live up to the name at the moment.
Seeing claims of 85.000 Ukranian casualties at Bakhmut- assuming hyperbole.
That would be a tragedy
The relentless ridiculous boosterish BBC are now worse than Baghdad Bob – they certainly swerve Ukraine military setbacks on the front page of the web shite.
Thoughtful, you forget that the war has been going on in Ukraine since 2014. Yes, it is the West’s proxy war but it was started by the EU long before Johnson became PM and Biden became President.

The BBC wants to pretend, unreasonably, that the British people fund it willingly, whilst they petition the government to maintain the compulsory TV Licence tax funding mechanism in place. BBC is a stupid state anachronism that has continued to exist long after an initial subsidy…
A roller coaster of a story describing the journey of a Somalian male who got bounced around other countries until he manged to get to the land of gravy. Us. And of course he wants to be a teacher.
Basically he is an illegal, economic immigrant with no actual reason to be allowed to stay here. Everywhere else basically kicked him out until he got here.
Stand out parts of this story:
He is safely in Wales being educated at our expense. Yet for some reason the BBC will not give his real name or show any picture of him. There is absolutely no excuse for that – except to make us think he is in danger. Which he is not.
He was arrested in Ukraine and says the police beat him for days.
‘Rayan said he was racially abused and had a tooth knocked out. The officers wanted to know the name of the smuggler, but he didn’t know.’.
So after his horrific experience, the worst part was being ‘racially abused’ ? (whatever that means these days).
The whole story makes no sense and is not logical. For example, on eminute they are hiding ‘in the bush’ in Ukraine with absolutely nothing, then we get: ‘They were moved to Hungary and then Slovakia before a stranger offered them a free lift to Vienna.’. By who ???.
And then we get to the root of this huge problem we now have:
Comparing his experiences in Europe, Rayan said he was “shocked” by how he was treated by police and immigration officials once in the UK.
“I never felt like that. They treated me nicely and polite. I felt like someone who lives here,” he said.
There we go. I can imagine all the hundreds of thousands of other illegal Africans all across the world sharing this blatant advertisement from the BBC and heading this way for a slice of that pie for themselves.
An absolutely typical BBC empathy-laden work of fiction mixed in with fact. The best way to lie. I guarantee the author put words in this mans mouth to get the article she wanted to write.

A black and white problem? Police officers visit pub to confiscate ‘Golly’ dolls despite force having previously decided no laws were broken. Council confirms display does not breach its rules
SIX Essex police officers descended on a borough pub this week and confiscated a number of dolls that have been hanging behind its bar for many years.
They were responding, in a repetition of a similar incident in 2018, to a complaint that the dolls – replicas of the historic Robertson jam jar golliwogs – are racially offensive.
It’s a little more than five years since police last turned up at the pub, the White Hart on Argent Street in Grays, following a previous complaint and concern raised by Thurrock Council’s licensing team.
In 2018 pub landlords Chris and Benice Ryley, backed by their regulars, insisted the dolls were a part of British history and that they were on display in a privately-owned venue and had been for many years.
They refused to remove the dolls and – and after investigations by both the council and police – nothing further happened.
That is until Tuesday (4 April) this week when, 15 minutes before the pub was due to open at lunctime, six officers arrived at the pub and told Benice they were taking the dolls away because there had been a complaint and a visitor to the pub had been ‘quite upset about them’.
The collectable Coronation Golly badge
This time, it is entirely a police action. A statement issued by Thurrock Council confirms: “This is not a matter which the council has any powers to act on under the Licensing Act 2003 or Public Order Legislation.”
Benice explains what happened, saying: “Chris is away abroad and will be until the middle of May. Police said as he is the licensee they need to interview him and they have taken the dolls away in the interim.
“I don’t understand why we have to go through all this again. They have even taken away the badges that used to be given out by Robertsons and a book that explains the history of the marketing.
“We have the police taking away information that is literally the history of this country. And why? We are quite happy to call them dolls, not golliwogs, but even the officer who wrote down the inventory as he was taking them away described the larger one as a golliwog and the others as golly dolls. So even the police don’t know what to call them.
“I understand that some people may not like them and they are entitled to that view, but they don’t have to come into the pub.
“As far as we are aware we are not breaking any laws by displaying them, and that was proved last time when we were investigated. If we were not breaking the law then, why are we breaking the law now?”
It transpires the police action on Tuesday follows a complaint made 39 days ago.
In the interim since its receipt the force made the call that it believes there was sufficient reason to believe a ‘hate crime’ has taken place. So six officers were dispatched.
A statement from the police says: “”We are investigating an allegation of hate crime in Grays reported to us on 24 February.
“On Tuesday, 4 April, we attended a location off Argent Street, Grays, and seized several items in connection with our investigation.”
The force has declined to explain why it took a contrary position in 2018.
The debate over the dolls has raged long and hard.
A golliwog is a black doll that started appearing in children’s books in the late 1800s.
It is historically linked to the term ‘blackface’ – white people blacking up to imitate black people to entertain – and “wog” is a derogatory form for people with dark skin.
Most notably in the UK, the term golliwog became associated with a jam company.
The Robertson’s golliwog symbol (not seen as racially charged at the time) appeared in 1910 after a trip to the US to set up a plant in Boston by company owner James Robertson.
His son John noticed local children playing with little black rag dolls with white eyes. Mr Robertson senior bought one of the dolls and brought it back to Britain.
Intrigued by the popularity of the ‘Golly’, he thought it would make an ideal mascot and trade mark for the Robertson’s range of products and it was first used in 1911.
In particular the company created small metal badges featuring the dolls and a large number of styles were created, including ones that celebrated the coronation in 1937.
The Robertson ‘Golly’ was not only limited to badges. There were Robertson golly dolls, ceramic, golly games for children, the 1979 illustrated storybook ‘Here Comes Golly’ by Gyles Brandreth and even golly clothing. At the start of the 1980s the hard enamelled badges were replaced with cheaper-to-produce acrylic badges, but this did not affect their popularity.
When production stopped in 2001, more than 20 million golly badges had been sent out. Samples of the badges were among the items confiscated by police at the White Hart.
And there have been many instances – perhaps most notably children’s author Enid Blyton – of golliwog character being featured in books
Robertson’s officially retired ‘Golly’ in 2002. The company had found that their trademark was, on the whole, no longer popular with children, although the scheme was still successful and popular with adult collectors.
Enid Blyton’s book.
Robertson’s always insisted that they did not retire the image because of the pressure of political correctness, but simply for commercial reasons.
The brand director at Robertson’s at the time commented: “We are retiring ‘Golly’ because we found families with kids no longer necessarily knew about him. We are not bowing to political correctness, but like with any great brand we have to move with the times.”
The issue over the public’s view on golliwogs in the modern day is encapsulated in an article published by noted academic Professor Tim Bale of Queen Mary University in London, where he speaks of his own dislike and taste of the doll, the image and the term – but he says the wider public have vastly differing opinions.

Strange, that in the UK we have many Chinese. Thai, Indian etc immigrants
Why are they not rioting on the streets with various demands ?
Why are they not shot by police in stolen cars in posession of firearms refusing to stop, and involved in stabbings in London every week ?
Why are they not in 50% of adverts on the TV married to white women and in every historical drama and current programmes ?
Why are they not demanding money with menaces for historical injustices ?

Note “OUR” communities
One reason I came to this site was working in Luton for a couple of years, and noting the division of society, with muslims immigrating to the UK and creating their own society and the aggression they bring with them.
I have worked in London and did some stuff with a muslim charity and they were fine, running a foodbank etc
But, Luton was like another world to me, Bury Park Road, the looks I would get, and the charity boxes in the shops that were taken away when they saw me, and the men distributing leaflets that would suddenly stop when they saw me.
The worst thing was the children, 12 to 14 year olds, I would take some time in a coffee shop during my work and they arrived, from one of the “special schools” in arab clothes and all sit and stare at me.
God only knows the racist hate they are taught

Right royal conspiracy edition
There exists a conspiracy theory concerning the removal of our latterday Lady Jane Grey, ‘The Nine Days Queen’ of Prime Ministers – in other words our John Paul I, pontiff for 33 days, or call her our Karl Dönitz, German Führer for 23 days, if like Gary Lineker or Ken Livingstone you’re one of those people over-keen to slip into the internet meme about those Teutonic National Socialists – Godwin’s Law – but I refer of course to the short-lived Liz Truss premiership.
Ah, Liz Truss. With the looks of a startled budgerigar, she was raised on 100 varieties of cheese, Neo-Thatcherism and David Cameron’s diversity hiring policies. Not for our Dave was the Norfolk ‘Turnip Taliban’s’ choice of competancy in their constituency candidate – he had to have MPs with lady parts to emulate Blair’s babes.
Well, she wasn’t the great-granddaughter of Henry VII, isn’t fondly remembered with a museum built in her honour in the little Italian town of Canale d’Agordo, and didn’t command the Kriegsmarine’s U-boat arm, but she had some right-wing fiscal instincts to recommend her and she found herself in the right place at the right time to appeal to party members. And was a fly in the ointment from the point of view of the globalist liberal hegemony.
And credit where credit is due she – more or less – says so: Truss condemns ‘global cartel of complacency’ for fixing tax rates (Sunday Telegraph) – remember folks, it’s not a conspiracy theory, if it’s true.
“Not content with high taxes in their own countries, we now see governments seeking to agree high taxes around the free world”
During the Conservative leadership contest last August, Ms Truss’s allies suggested she would consider withdrawing Britain’s support for the minimum tax pledge and risking a diplomatic row with Joe Biden, who proposed the idea.

US support to 2014 Ukraine revolution led to war: Putin
Moscow, April 5
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday told the new US and EU ambassadors in blunt language that their countries were responsible for a dramatic deterioration in relations since Russia sent its armed forces into Ukraine last year.
Putin told new US ambassador Lynne Tracy that US support for a revolution in Ukraine in 2014 had led to the current situation where Russia and Ukraine were in conflict.
“Dear Madam Ambassador, I know you may not agree, but I cannot but say that the United States’ use… of such tools as support for the so-called colour revolutions, support in this regard for the coup in Kyiv in 2014, ultimately led to today’s Ukrainian crisis,” Putin said.
He said relations were in “a deep crisis” that was “based on fundamentally different approaches to the formation of the modern world order”.
Russia responded to an uprising in Kyiv that drove out a pro-Russian President in 2014 by seizing the Crimean peninsula from Ukraine and backing an armed separatist movement that took control of territory in eastern Ukraine. Putin took a similar line with the new EU ambassador, Roland Galharague, who took up his position in September, telling him that “the European Union initiated a geopolitical confrontation with Russia”.

Trump claims Obama-era State Department backed 2014 Ukraine uprisings
‘We’re teetering on the brink of World War Three,’ says former president
Speaking in a video, in which he said “World War III has never been closer than it is right now,” Trump vowed to “clean house of all of the warmongers and America’s last globalists.”
The February 2014 “Maidan revolution” in Ukraine led to then President Viktor Yanukovych fleeing the country and a pro-Western government coming to power.
In November of the previous year, Yanukovych announced the suspension of preparations for a historic pact between Kyiv and Brussels aimed at shifting Ukraine out of Moscow’s orbit and refused to sign a trade pact and political association agreement with the European Union. After the decision, mass street protests erupted in Ukraine.
Trump reiterated that he was the only president in generations who did not start a war and the only president “who rejected the catastrophic advice of many of Washington’s generals, bureaucrats and the so-called diplomats who only know how to get us into conflict, but they don’t know how to get us out.”

“In October 2012 the Party of Regions won the largest share of seats in parliamentary elections, and most observers characterized the polling as relatively free and fair. It appeared that Yanukovych was attempting to pivot toward the West in April 2013, when he ordered the release of Lutsenko in advance of the signing of an association agreement with the European Union.
Just days before that treaty was to be signed in November 2013, Yanukovych pulled out of the deal, triggering a scramble among EU leaders and sparking a wave of popular protests in Kiev. Putin pledged billions in financial assistance as the demonstrations in Kiev’s Maidan (Independence Square) continued into 2014. Yanukovych responded by enacting a series of anti-protest measures that were hastily repealed by the parliament after two demonstrators were killed in clashes with police in January 2014. Protests spread to eastern Ukraine, traditionally Yanukovych’s stronghold, and violence in the Maidan escalated dramatically. More than 70 people were killed in clashes with police and security forces in February 2014, as the remaining support for Yanukovych and his administration crumbled. The parliament voted to impeach Yanukovych on February 22; he responded by denouncing the action as a coup and fleeing the capital. His whereabouts unknown, protesters descended upon Yanukovych’s opulent residence outside Kiev, and Ukraine’s interim government issued a warrant for his arrest on charges of mass murder.”

It looks like Bakhamut has fallen and Zelinsky is now considering calling a surrender to Russia.
This is an outrage! Biden and Johnson both started a war in which the cities of Ukraine lie in ruins and half a million Ukrainians lie dead.
It needn’t have happened as Russia did not wish for a military conflict and tried to avoid it by neogtiation which Zelensky appeared to at least be considering, but it was scotched by Johnson and Biden, and now as a result of these twos lethal idiocy.
There needs to be calls for Johnson to be put on trial for this, there is no excuse, he personally interevened and that intervention led to all these deaths not to mention Bidens attack on Europe and the price of energy going through the roof destroying the European economy.
What is worse I expect now the US which has become an empire of evil under Biden will almost certainly turn its malevolent gaze towards China, manufacturing a conflict there as well which it will lose, and cause great loss of life in the process.
Maybe Ayatollah Komenei was right when he named America the Great Satan because it sure seems to be trying to live up to the name at the moment.

Cardiff: Wheelchair user’s shock after shop loses wheel
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-65088495
‘When Holly Greader’s electric powered wheelchair needed work, she sent it to a mobility aid repair shop.’
‘But when her partner went to collect it, he found the store permanently shut – and to her “shock and disbelief” she was told the wheel was lost.’
‘The 25-year-old from Llanrumney, Cardiff, said she feels “like a part of me has been just been taken away”.’
Oh the sorrow. The tragedy. The poor, poor victim of … of … someone losing something. Empathy empathy empathy.
I give this story a ‘pathetic’ rating of 10.
And here’s a picture of the unfortunate Holly who may never recover:

Small boats: An asylum seeker’s five-nation trek to sanctuary
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-65174532
A roller coaster of a story describing the journey of a Somalian male who got bounced around other countries until he manged to get to the land of gravy. Us. And of course he wants to be a teacher.
Basically he is an illegal, economic immigrant with no actual reason to be allowed to stay here. Everywhere else basically kicked him out until he got here.
Stand out parts of this story:
He is safely in Wales being educated at our expense. Yet for some reason the BBC will not give his real name or show any picture of him. There is absolutely no excuse for that – except to make us think he is in danger. Which he is not.
He was arrested in Ukraine and says the police beat him for days.
‘Rayan said he was racially abused and had a tooth knocked out. The officers wanted to know the name of the smuggler, but he didn’t know.’.
So after his horrific experience, the worst part was being ‘racially abused’ ? (whatever that means these days).
The whole story makes no sense and is not logical. For example, on eminute they are hiding ‘in the bush’ in Ukraine with absolutely nothing, then we get: ‘They were moved to Hungary and then Slovakia before a stranger offered them a free lift to Vienna.’. By who ???.
And then we get to the root of this huge problem we now have:
Comparing his experiences in Europe, Rayan said he was “shocked” by how he was treated by police and immigration officials once in the UK.
“I never felt like that. They treated me nicely and polite. I felt like someone who lives here,” he said.
There we go. I can imagine all the hundreds of thousands of other illegal Africans all across the world sharing this blatant advertisement from the BBC and heading this way for a slice of that pie for themselves.
An absolutely typical BBC empathy-laden work of fiction mixed in with fact. The best way to lie. I guarantee the author put words in this mans mouth to get the article she wanted to write.
And here she is. Yet another license-fee payers liability from the clone factory:
