An Associated Press (AP) investigation revealed in 2017 that more than 100 United Nations (UN) peacekeepers ran a child sex ring in Haiti over a 10-year period and none were ever jailed.

In Africa, Chinese Developers Are Building A Mini-China
A photo investigation of the Chinese-sponsored apartments, highways, factories–and even entire cities–that are sprouting up in Africa at an astounding pace.
Next to Lagos, Nigeria, Chinese developers have built a walled-off “special economic zone”–basically a separate city, with separate rules designed to attract investors–based on a model they’ve used inside China for the last 30 years. After Shenzhen became a special economic zone in the 1980s, it went from a small town of 20,000 to, by some counts, 15 million today.
WE ARE TRUELY MESSED UP …..In another special economic zone outside Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, the researchers visited a Chinese shoe factory with Chinese managers, Chinese equipment, and local workers. (Interestingly, the quality control team is Brazilian, the shoes are being made for an American brand, and are being sold to Europeans.)

2019 …. How £245,000-a-year BBC presenter Jon Sopel has cashed in as a hired speaker for US bank giant JP Morgan
Jon Sopel, 60, boosted his pay despite it posing an apparent conflict of interest
JP Morgan is involved in gun industry and fracking – issues covered by Mr Sopel Sources say he was paid around £35,000 for a Paris conference and £20,000 for New York

DT – motorways service stations having to hire more security because of ‘EV rage ‘ – not enough chargers – one of those ‘stories ‘ aimed at people like me who hate green crap –
In my experience the non Tesla EV chargers are often out of service – subjectively … I usually take a look having seen a forlorn queue of 5 or 6 Leafs at Gloucester Farm Services waitng for 1 working unit out of iirc 3 chargers.
There’s a reason the charger operators don’t trumpet their reliability figures.
“Mr Sopel, 60, boosted his BBC pay packet by speaking at a string of JP Morgan events – despite it posing an apparent conflict of interest”
Miss Greenham said: ‘He has done events for JP Morgan and the BBC are aware of this.’
Mr Sopel presided over two sessions at JP Morgan’s Global Markets Conference in Paris in 2017 – which included an interview with Mr Dimon. And in 2016, Mr Sopel appeared at JP Morgan’s Board Summit in New York. Pictured is Mr Sopel giving an off-the-record keynote address at the world’s biggest tobacco company’s Miami conference in April

Reduced-lead bullets and recyclable explosives are among the developments being put forward by arms manufacturer British Aerospace (BAE) as part of a major investment in ecologically-sound weaponry.

Following the announcement that Glastonbury Festival 2024 tickets are to rise to £360, the BBC has demanded that the government increases the TV license fee immediately, if not retrospectively. A BBC spokesperson with personal pronouns of Ofcom/Shutdown/GBnews, stated:
“This year, the BBC sent over 900 employees to attend ‘Glasto’, along with vast amounts of equipment, in order to broadcast the World’s most important entertainment event for the benefit of other BBC staff, daddy-oh. We recognise that the cost of holding such an event, complete with a 7.8 kilometre long 4.12 metre high fence to keep out riff-raff and prove that fences and open borders are, er, immoral, is an expensive business. Nevertheless, a small increase in the TV license fee from £159 to just £500, will ensure that the BBC remains a world-leader in onanistic music festivals.”
A Freedom of Information request has revealed that the average age of BBC employees attending Glastonbury this year was 83, only slightly less than the average age of the performers.
Ian – I think the TV licence should be put up to £200 . The number not paying will kill revenue even more that the current attrition because of the bbc being woke crap …
Not so long ago the festival was barely mentioned – at a time when the current crop of Glasto going journos were still in school ! So we know who to blame for the wall to wall coverage .
“The immigrants make their way north, having no desire to assimilate to French culture, but continuing to demand a First World standard of living, even as they flout laws, do not produce, and murder French citizens, such as factory bosses and shopkeepers, as well as the ordinary people who do not welcome them.”
@tomo – My Irish friends (ex-friends) have always been very snooty about how racist we British are, and our terrible race relations etc.

One things for sure, the elite of western nations are anxious to cram as many so-called, “Migrants” in as quickly as possible. Ditto UK. Evidence? – the constant effort by the elites to prevaricate actually stopping anyone. Loads of what initially appear strong positive statements of what they will do to stop the flow, all understandably failing. Impunity. There is no honest effort to achieve anything.
We recently hear, “words of support” for Braverman’s speech in the US about updating all the International Laws/Standards and guidance. Well, sounds good. I did not hear the speech but did anybody ask her the question: ‘How long will that take’. Here, I’ll answer that: Decades. By then, the elite will have fulfilled their WEF/Chinese objective: Destroy their countries, one way or another.
Personally, I think the elite is doing a darned good job of it and should be praised…………
Since they’re so keen on banning oil – ban anybody arrested for random building & artwork painting, slow walking, bridge sitting, road glueing etc from using it to fly…

The unbearable Adam Boulton was talking to the unshaggable Victoria Derbyshire on the unwatchable Newsnight, during which he let the cat out of the bag about GB News.
He said they should be shut down as there was ‘a delicate broadcast ecosystem in this country’, which GB News are trying to bust.
You BET they are, and rightly so.
What’s another word for ‘a delicate ecosystem’?
The delicate broadcast ecosystem in this country is based on censorship of the vaccine injured, and dangerous disinformation about mRNA jabs, approved by the BBC lead Trusted News Initiative (TNI), which Babylon Bee are trying to bust with satire.
If we and the Americans hadn’t voted the way that we did , we might still have had a partially functioning democracy but because we voted the way we did we proved to the liberal ruling elite that we couldn’t be trusted to do what they thought best . After all put yourself in their shoes, they spent six months telling us to vote remain and we still voted leave! They had even gone to the trouble of having Barry Obama threatening us .How could they ever trust us again?
So their only option was to abolish democracy by secretly disenfranchising us by formation of the LibLabCon coalition. We still have the illusion of choice , we will still have elections , but there will be no change in the policies that are implemented no matter which party forms a government.
In any case the power lies with the unelected , unnacountable civil servants and quango chairpersons, judges and lawyers not with the MPs who we elect. It’s all sewn up and we havnt got a say.
GBN News is a nuisance because it keeps on reminding it growing number of viewers of inconvenient facts about the elite’s per policies, eg Covid , Net Zero, mass invasion. By GBN raising these issues when the rest of the MSM doesn’t , the proles ie us, may eventually come to realise that they are not told the truth, that they don’t live a democracy, that they have no say in what happens to them. They may eventually wake up and get restless. Therefore, any excuse to shut it down or at least scare it into submission and make toe the ‘correct’ narrative , will be taken.
Some folks think it could go exclusively ‘on line’ and so escape Ofcom and censorship but they don’t realise what the purpose of the On Line Harms bill is. It’s not to protect people from harm , its to ensure that us proles never get to hear or see the truth. Ofcom will police it to ensure exactly that.
We live in dark times that are about to get even darker.

The European Court has ruled that the UK must pay €32 million for a transgression of EU rules. Despite Government claims that we’ve left the supersate, it’s clear we are still under its thrall…
The hefty fine relates to the UK failing to enforce the prohibition of marked fuel usage in private pleasure boats within the timeframe the Commission prescribed. Although the transgression took place in Northern Ireland where EU rules still apply, the ECJ ruled to charge the whole UK economy. Apparently the penalty fine calculated from Northern Ireland’s GDP “would not be sufficiently dissuasive”, so the entire UK ‘s GDP is used instead.
Reform UK’s Northern Ireland spokesman Ben Habib nailed it:
“Three years after leaving the EU, the entire United Kingdom is still subject to EU law and European Court rulings. And, as is evident, the gravy train payments demanded by Brussels continue. Didn’t someone promise we would take back control of our laws and our cash?”

MODERATE means an attack is possible, but not likely SUBSTANTIAL means an attack is likely
SEVERE means an attack is highly likely
CRITICAL means an attack is highly likely in the near future

I had the misfortune to be listening to Vanessa Feltz in the car on TalkRadio the day the Laurence Fox story broke. She described GB News as “the hate channel” and has constantly agitated since to get it closed down. Perhaps she needs to do the same for her own station based on this. Go to 5:37. “Would you shag it?” Personally I have no problem with what Douglas Murray said but the hypocrisy rankles.

O’Brien also called less-expensive Chinese solutions “tempting of a gift to turn down” for some countries, according to CNN, but that they come “with a price” of the Chinese company having access to information on the network.
I was mildly skeptical about Huawei until I realised that the majority of tech outfits (mobile network operators) have dunderheads in senior management who don’t see any danger at all – and don’t sanction traffic monitoring and security audits / pen testing.

I can’t be 100% sure but am pretty sure some years ago a female lefty, on Have I Got News For You, referenced the German Chancellor Angela Merkel as an ‘unf***able lard bucket’.
I tried and failed to reference this on the internet as entries reference the original attribution to the late Silvio Berlusconi. So the HIGNFY lady may have been quoting this.
The point is, I don’t remember this person being thrown out of the BBC, nor do I remember any media furore, or BBC toady interviews about it. I do however remember the audience laughing loudly.

2019 …. How £245,000-a-year BBC presenter Jon Sopel has cashed in as a hired speaker for US bank giant JP Morgan
Jon Sopel, 60, boosted his pay despite it posing an apparent conflict of interest

HA HA HA HA!
“JP Morgan is involved in gun industry and fracking – issues covered by Mr Sopel ” £35,000 for a Paris conference and £20,000 for New York
DT – motorways service stations having to hire more security because of ‘EV rage ‘ – not enough chargers – one of those ‘stories ‘ aimed at people like me who hate green crap –
Burn that diesel – fill your tank …
But all EV drivers are saints? BBC Fact!
In my experience the non Tesla EV chargers are often out of service – subjectively … I usually take a look having seen a forlorn queue of 5 or 6 Leafs at Gloucester Farm Services waitng for 1 working unit out of iirc 3 chargers.
There’s a reason the charger operators don’t trumpet their reliability figures.
“Mr Sopel, 60, boosted his BBC pay packet by speaking at a string of JP Morgan events – despite it posing an apparent conflict of interest”
Miss Greenham said: ‘He has done events for JP Morgan and the BBC are aware of this.’
Mr Sopel presided over two sessions at JP Morgan’s Global Markets Conference in Paris in 2017 – which included an interview with Mr Dimon. And in 2016, Mr Sopel appeared at JP Morgan’s Board Summit in New York.

Reduced-lead bullets and recyclable explosives are among the developments being put forward by arms manufacturer British Aerospace (BAE) as part of a major investment in ecologically-sound weaponry.
The company, one of the world’s biggest arms-makers, says it has been making investments in creating products that reduce the collateral damage of warfare.

Following the announcement that Glastonbury Festival 2024 tickets are to rise to £360, the BBC has demanded that the government increases the TV license fee immediately, if not retrospectively. A BBC spokesperson with personal pronouns of Ofcom/Shutdown/GBnews, stated:
“This year, the BBC sent over 900 employees to attend ‘Glasto’, along with vast amounts of equipment, in order to broadcast the World’s most important entertainment event for the benefit of other BBC staff, daddy-oh. We recognise that the cost of holding such an event, complete with a 7.8 kilometre long 4.12 metre high fence to keep out riff-raff and prove that fences and open borders are, er, immoral, is an expensive business. Nevertheless, a small increase in the TV license fee from £159 to just £500, will ensure that the BBC remains a world-leader in onanistic music festivals.”
A Freedom of Information request has revealed that the average age of BBC employees attending Glastonbury this year was 83, only slightly less than the average age of the performers.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-somerset-66971101
Ian – I think the TV licence should be put up to £200 . The number not paying will kill revenue even more that the current attrition because of the bbc being woke crap …
Not so long ago the festival was barely mentioned – at a time when the current crop of Glasto going journos were still in school ! So we know who to blame for the wall to wall coverage .
Jon Snow can afford to pay for himself, can’t he?
Surely not him on the left of the gawpy haircut bloke…?

@tomo – My Irish friends (ex-friends) have always been very snooty about how racist we British are, and our terrible race relations etc.

Decades ago I remember asking an Irish guy what they thought of these new people in Ireland, he replied:
“they’re welcome for 2 weeks, not 3..”
For hundreds of years, brave Irishmen and Irishwomen gave their lives and liberty to rid their country of the English…
…in order to make space for the invading hordes of the Third World.
You missed out the EU dump in-between.
One things for sure, the elite of western nations are anxious to cram as many so-called, “Migrants” in as quickly as possible. Ditto UK. Evidence? – the constant effort by the elites to prevaricate actually stopping anyone. Loads of what initially appear strong positive statements of what they will do to stop the flow, all understandably failing. Impunity. There is no honest effort to achieve anything.
We recently hear, “words of support” for Braverman’s speech in the US about updating all the International Laws/Standards and guidance. Well, sounds good. I did not hear the speech but did anybody ask her the question: ‘How long will that take’. Here, I’ll answer that: Decades. By then, the elite will have fulfilled their WEF/Chinese objective: Destroy their countries, one way or another.
Personally, I think the elite is doing a darned good job of it and should be praised…………

The unbearable Adam Boulton was talking to the unshaggable Victoria Derbyshire on the unwatchable Newsnight, during which he let the cat out of the bag about GB News.
He said they should be shut down as there was ‘a delicate broadcast ecosystem in this country’, which GB News are trying to bust.
You BET they are, and rightly so.
What’s another word for ‘a delicate ecosystem’?
Oh, yes: A STINKING SWAMP!
The delicate broadcast ecosystem in this country is based on censorship of the vaccine injured, and dangerous disinformation about mRNA jabs, approved by the BBC lead Trusted News Initiative (TNI), which Babylon Bee are trying to bust with satire.

Laura Kuenssberg: Rishi Sunak needs political superpowers to make his rebrand work

Smug Kuenssberg has the answer, well in the bbc world she does
I blame Brexit and Trump!
If we and the Americans hadn’t voted the way that we did , we might still have had a partially functioning democracy but because we voted the way we did we proved to the liberal ruling elite that we couldn’t be trusted to do what they thought best . After all put yourself in their shoes, they spent six months telling us to vote remain and we still voted leave! They had even gone to the trouble of having Barry Obama threatening us .How could they ever trust us again?
So their only option was to abolish democracy by secretly disenfranchising us by formation of the LibLabCon coalition. We still have the illusion of choice , we will still have elections , but there will be no change in the policies that are implemented no matter which party forms a government.
In any case the power lies with the unelected , unnacountable civil servants and quango chairpersons, judges and lawyers not with the MPs who we elect. It’s all sewn up and we havnt got a say.
GBN News is a nuisance because it keeps on reminding it growing number of viewers of inconvenient facts about the elite’s per policies, eg Covid , Net Zero, mass invasion. By GBN raising these issues when the rest of the MSM doesn’t , the proles ie us, may eventually come to realise that they are not told the truth, that they don’t live a democracy, that they have no say in what happens to them. They may eventually wake up and get restless. Therefore, any excuse to shut it down or at least scare it into submission and make toe the ‘correct’ narrative , will be taken.
Some folks think it could go exclusively ‘on line’ and so escape Ofcom and censorship but they don’t realise what the purpose of the On Line Harms bill is. It’s not to protect people from harm , its to ensure that us proles never get to hear or see the truth. Ofcom will police it to ensure exactly that.
We live in dark times that are about to get even darker.

Threat levels are designed to give a broad indication of the likelihood of a terrorist attack.
LOW means an attack is highly unlikely
MODERATE means an attack is possible, but not likely
SUBSTANTIAL means an attack is likely

I had the misfortune to be listening to Vanessa Feltz in the car on TalkRadio the day the Laurence Fox story broke. She described GB News as “the hate channel” and has constantly agitated since to get it closed down. Perhaps she needs to do the same for her own station based on this. Go to 5:37. “Would you shag it?” Personally I have no problem with what Douglas Murray said but the hypocrisy rankles.

I tried and failed to reference this on the internet as entries reference the original attribution to the late Silvio Berlusconi. So the HIGNFY lady may have been quoting this.
The point is, I don’t remember this person being thrown out of the BBC, nor do I remember any media furore, or BBC toady interviews about it. I do however remember the audience laughing loudly.
