Part One – Local and National News Review
ON THE EDGE No22 JON KING Theo Chalmers 2011 Theo Chalmers interviews researcher and author Jon King about his book Princess Diana – the Evidence.He reveals insider information about her alleged assassination by persons unknown using a technique known as Boston Brakes. This interview is unmissable if you are interested in the extraordinary coincidences and anomalies surrounding the death of the ‘People’s Princess’. BOOK: Princess Diana: The Hidden Evidence Hardcover – 1 Jan. 2009 – by Jon King (Author), John Beveridge (Author), HRH Prince Michael of Albany (Author) Princess Diana The staggering new evidence contained in this book offers the most persuasive argument yet that British and US intelligence acted jointly to assassinate Diana, Princess of Wales. The product of a two-year investigation, Princess Diana: The Hidden Evidence claims foreknowledge of an M16 plot to “Eliminate one of the most prominent figures on the world stage”, but that is only the beginning. The Authors are not just ‘conspiracy theorists.’ They are investigative journalists with a proven track record, who dare to investigate issues side stepped by other journalists, and whose courageous work uncovered staggering evidence of a high-level conspiracy between British and U.S. Intelligence to assassinate Diana. Endorsed by many highly placed intelligence & government sources, this book reveals the frightening How British and U.S. Intelligence monitored Diana’s every move; How two secret letters written by Diana just before her death implicate the British Crown in “nefarious activities in Africa”, specifically Angola; How Diana threatened to expose the Crown’s vested interests in Angola by pursuing her ‘landmines campaign’ in that country; Why MI6 and the CIA resolved to kill her “on foreign soil”; How both Secret Services favored the ‘traffic accident’ as a deniable means of assassination; how this same method had been successful in previous ‘deniable ops’’; how the crash evidence was methodically suppressed, as was the info. the conspirators who planned, carried out and covered up this operation; How chauffeur Henri Paul worked for MI6; how his blood sample –which underpins the ‘drunk-driver accident’ theory –was switched; and how all TV cameras at the crash scene were mysteriously switched off. This thoroughly researched book reveals the shocking truth behind Diana’s death. And in the process it exposes the most scandalous, closely guarded secret in the UK’s history.
HRWXJ0 London, UK. 4th March, 2017. Jeremy Corbyn arrives with James Schneider of Momentum to speak at the Its Our NHS national demonstration in support of the National Health Service and against cuts, closures and privatisation. Credit: Mark Kerrison/Alamy Live News Corbyn’s new Party – how’s it going? Not well. Several of his close advisors when Corbyn was leader of the opposition (Office of the Leader of the Opposition or ‘LOTO’ staff) are Zionists, possibly even foreign agents. David Miller Tweet on the leaked new members in Corbyn’s Party – intervene now before Party fails. I [Dr David Miller] am told that ‘Your Party’ has now named seven members in a – presumably interim – executive committee. I am able to share the names and the official positions of three of the seven – which are listed in internal documents. They are: AMY JACKSON – once Political Secretary at LOTO and Unite’s Director of Politics, now: ‘Head of Executive Team.’ KARIE MURPHY – ex-Chief of Staff at LOTO, forced out after shenanigans with John McDonnell, now back in charge of: ‘Conference & Event planning’. JAMES SCHNEIDER – former LOTO Spokesperson, Progressive International and Peace and Justice Project. He is married to Sophie Nazemi, Keir Starmer’s literal press secretary; he was central to the disastrous Labour push to adopt the IHRA definition of antisemitism against the will of the members and to the strategy of apologising and throwing anti-Zionists under the bus. His new title is a mouthful: ‘Comms inclusive of MSM, SM, Speechwriter, Spokesperson, Supporter comms’ This is the same tried and failed incompetent clique that brought down the first Corbyn project. Out of cowardice, they capitulated to the Board of Deputies & the Israel lobby. They betrayed the will of the mass membership and turbo-charged the witch-hunt. Now history risks repeating. A handful of tried-and-tested failures could once again squander a movement of 800,000 decent Britons. It is essential that anyone who has a voice in this process intervenes now, to ensure that the whole project is not strangled at birth by the same team that hung thousands of anti-Zionist Labour members out to dry last time and capitulated to the Zionist movement.
Anti immigration protest tomorrow in Bristol – alongside pro Palestinian protest – trouble?
Ruth Nestor, a new Trustee for Kuumba Centre, on how Kuumba won it’s court case to keep its lease. ‘Trespassers to trustees’ – community centre wins legal battle against Bristol City Council – Tristan Cork article about Kuumba. – The council will now have to pay a hefty legal bill A council attempt to take back control of a community centre in Bristol has backfired – after a judge ended a long-running legal dispute by rejecting the council’s case and taking the unusual step of appointing new trustees from the local community. The council will now be left with a hefty legal bill for a case that was started under the previous Labour Mayoral administration. The case came to a head two years ago when those running the council-owned Kuumba Centre in St Pauls effectively barricaded themselves in and refused to leave when Bristol City Council ordered them to leave and told the community it would be taking back the centre and installing a new management team. That sparked a packed public meeting in September 2023 that ended with the community backing the woman who had been running the Kuumba Centre since 2011, Sister Nwanyi Aduke, and pledging to occupy the building round the clock to stop the council physically taking control and changing the locks. The then Labour deputy mayor Asher Craig and the council said the centre needed major investment and a proper management board of trustees, and those running the centre had been doing so without permission or a lease since 2022. Rather than opening informall discussions with the board the council, in 2023, launched a legal case for trespass, eviction and posession, taking the people running the centre to the Civil Court in Bristol to formally eject them. Last year, a community campaign was renewed in St Pauls to bring people together to support the fight to keep control of the community centre, with a petition calling on the council to end the legal case and start discussions with those in charge at the centre over a way forward that didn’t involve going to court.
Sister Nwanyi posted on social media that she and the group came into court ‘as trespassers but came out as Kuumba Centre appointed legal trustees’. The council, who had brought the lengthy legal action against the Kuumba Centre as the claimant in the case, was given no order for costs, so will have to foot its own big legal bill for the failed attempt to take the centre back. Bristol Live asked Bristol City Council about the case, and a response is awaited. Abdul gained the respect from all communities and he reinvested his time and money within the locality, working with BEST (Bristol East Side Traders) to regenerate the local area with new shop fronts and traffic calming systems, he was very active in meetings and earned more respect, he joined the local Mosques and other religious organizations and helped build bridges between different communities he also set up a Muslim Funeral Committee to help repatriate deceased Muslims to their desired countries of burial, in 2002 he won the BEST best business award and was nominated for the Inner City 100 Financial times awards. Abdul has helped set up grass root organisations and was elected the first ever Asian Councillor on Bristol City Councillor, in 2007 just 2 years after being a city Councillor his party nominated him to be Lord Mayor of Bristol, missing it by a whisker, Abdul was proud to be considered for the role.

So what can we all learn from this today? And how did things then get better? Take a look at this. From 1845 to the early 2000s, house prices as a multiple income dropped dramatically, falling to just around four times income in the midentth century. And home ownership soared from just 10 to 25% of people owning a home at the turn of the century to over 70% by the early 2000s. So, what on earth changed? How did this all happen? Can we achieve this over the next 20, 30 years? Well, it wasn’t complicated. The housing stock more than doubled. We built smaller, denser homes. So, especially things like terrace houses. Average earnings nearly doubled. And average house prices actually fell over 50 years. So, more homes, cheaper homes, high wages. And for a while that completely worked. But then when everything was great, something else started to happen. The decline of ownership. Look at the trends today on this graph. Private renters are rising. Home ownership is falling. Social housing is shrinking. And it correlates directly with a drop in housing supply. The less we build, the more broken the system becomes. And here’s the critical detail. When we built at scale, the government was leading. The dark blue line in this chart shows public sector house building. The light blue shows private companies. The green housing associations. The moment government scaled back, the private sector took over, but with very different goals. Because homes built for shareholders don’t come cheap when you’ve got to build in big profits. So is it really surprising we’ve seen a commercialized financialized housing system emerge out of all of this?

For some commentators, the problem was not whether talks might save Ukrainian civilians or Russian conscripts, but whether the very act of negotiation could be spun as a Trump victory. This is hardly new in American politics. In 1968, Richard Nixon’s allies quietly urged South Vietnam to resist Lyndon Johnson’s peace initiative, helping to prolong a war that killed tens of thousands more. Political rivalry, in its most cynical form, has a way of outlasting human lives. But to understand why Russia is not interested in a ceasefire, one has to enter their frame of reference. For Moscow, a ceasefire is not peace; it is a trick. History has trained them in suspicion. During the Korean War, talks dragged on for two years while both sides replenished their armies. Today, NATO promises of limitless support for Ukraine make any pause feel less like compromise and more like surrender. Russia, having endured the “forever sanctions” imposed since 2014, believes that only a structural settlement—NATO guarantees, recognition of new borders, and the lifting of economic punishment—qualifies as peace. Anything else is theater. The Western press often frames Russia as stubborn, unwilling to negotiate. Yet it was Russia, in late 2021, that sent draft security proposals to Washington and Brussels, offering talks before tanks ever rolled across the border. The proposals were dismissed outright. In the Russian imagination, that rejection confirmed what they had long believed: that they were not respected as a sovereign power, that their security concerns counted for nothing. What followed was brutal, yes, but also in their minds inevitable. No side will get everything it wants. Wars do not end with neat lines of victory anymore. Korea remains divided, Bosnia fractured, Cyprus frozen in time. To expect Russia to abandon Donbas entirely is no more realistic than expecting Ukraine to quietly accept its permanent loss. What will come—because history demands it—will be compromise. Perhaps international peacekeepers will patrol Donetsk. Perhaps autonomy will be carved out on paper while remaining contested in practice. But neither total victory nor absolute humiliation is in the cards. And so the argument that peace talks are betrayal—that even beginning them rewards aggression—is an old one. The same words were used against the Dayton Accords in 1995, accused of “rewarding ethnic cleansing.” They were hurled against the Good Friday Agreement in 1998, accused of legitimizing terrorism. Yet both agreements, fragile at first, grew into blueprints for stability…
Security system hacked Hackers Say They Accessed Troop Loss Records According to the Russian hacker groups Killnet, Palach Pro, User Sec, and Beregini, they successfully infiltrated the databases of Ukraine’s General Staff by breaching personal computers and the local network of its personnel. As a result, they claim to have uncovered the actual scale of Ukraine’s military losses during the ongoing special military operation. The hackers allege that between 2022 and 2025, Ukraine lost approximately 1,721,000 troops, either killed or missing. Losses reportedly escalated each year: 118,500 in 2022, 405,400 in 2023, 595,000 in 2024, and 621,000 so far in 2025. Massive Trove of Personal and Military Data Allegedly Obtained The infiltrated archive reportedly contained 1.7 million files, including full names, descriptions of deaths or disappearances, personal information, photos, and contact details of next of kin. The operation was allegedly conducted using a new virus called “Nuance,” which infects systems exclusively within Ukrainian territory, exfiltrates data, and permanently disables the host device. According to Mash, the hackers acquired terabytes of sensitive material, including personal data of Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces and Military Intelligence Directorate leadership, as well as lists of countries supplying weapons and detailed inventories of transferred armaments. ‘Digital Brain’ of Ukraine’s Military Allegedly Hacked In July, the same hacker groups reportedly breached Ukraine’s military software platform Delta, which is used to manage troop movements, monitor Russian positions, and coordinate unit deployments. Media sources have described Delta as the “digital brain” of Ukraine’s armed forces, operational since 2023.
Chasov Yar, Dzerzhinsk, and Selidovo. When Ukraine classifies people who do not want to evacuate deep into Ukrainian territory as ‘waiters’, strangers, ‘separatists’ and carries out purges of the civilian population,” Miroshnik said. Most of these cases are similar to each other and have a number of characteristic features, the official said, adding that victims are typically found with restrained limbs and visible close-range gunshot wounds on their bodies. These discoveries follow Ukrainian troops’ retreat from populated areas, he added. “The terrible discovery near Krasnoarmeysk only confirms the system that exists or is generated by the Ukrainian political regime. They [Ukrainian authorities] seem to sort their own civilians into categories, evacuating supporters of the regime while targeting those choosing to remain on their own land. This is a policy generated by [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelenskyy, his entourage and the political regime that is today a military dictatorship on the territory of Ukraine,” Miroshnik said. The official emphasized that international awareness is critical regarding Ukraine’s treatment of civilians, as reports indicate severe division between handling of Zelenskyy’s supporters and dissenters, with the latter facing lethal violence.
Trump’s Direct and Emotional Response Earlier, Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó confirmed that oil deliveries through the Druzhba pipeline to Hungary were interrupted for the third time recently due to Ukrainian actions. The disruption again placed Central Europe’s energy infrastructure under strain, drawing a sharp reaction from Budapest. ““Viktor – I do not like hearing this – I am very angry about it. Tell Slovakia. You are my great friend – Donald,” Trump wrote in his letter. The letter, published openly by Orbán, underscores the symbolic weight of his ties with Trump, signaling Hungary’s reliance on Washington’s support in defending its energy interests. Strategic Importance of Druzhba The Druzhba pipeline, built during the Soviet era, remains one of the most important supply routes for Russian crude to Europe, with strategic relevance not only for Hungary but also for Slovakia. Despite EU sanctions and efforts to diversify away from Russian resources, both countries remain highly dependent on this channel to sustain their economies. For Hungary, repeated strikes against the pipeline are interpreted as a direct threat to national security, giving Orbán further grounds to challenge Brussels’ hardline anti-Russian policies. Orbán’s Political Signal to Europe Trump’s letter, though seemingly personal, carries broader implications. By condemning attacks on infrastructure that affect European states uninvolved in the frontline conflict, the US President implicitly validated Hungary’s argument that energy should not be weaponized in geopolitical struggles. The publication of the letter also strengthens Orbán domestically, showcasing his ability to secure support from a major international partner—no less than the President of the United States. It boosts his image as a leader capable of defending national interests against EU directives.
T . GABBARD’S DIRECTIVE CUTS OFF ALLIES On July 20, US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard issued a directive barring the transfer of intelligence related to Ukraine to any foreign nation—including America’s top partners in the Five Eyes group: the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. The order also limits the internal circulation of Ukraine-related data within the US intelligence community, which includes 18 agencies. According to CBS News, such directives are not unprecedented when American and allied interests diverge. But as former CIA analyst Steven Cash warned, the move could “chill relations” and weaken collective responses to adversaries—an indication that Washington may no longer see Moscow as a common enemy. SIGNALS OF NORMALIZATION WITH RUSSIA The new policy aligns with recently declassified documents from the National Security Archive at George Washington University, which reveal the content of the June 2000 Moscow summit between Presidents Vladimir Putin and Bill Clinton. At the time, Clinton assured Moscow that NATO expansion posed no threat to Russia and even entertained the possibility of Russian membership in the alliance. Putin responded with a concrete proposal to allow Russian officers to participate in NATO planning committees. The records now highlight the duplicity of past US promises. By restricting intelligence access, Washington is signaling not only a strategic pivot toward Moscow but also an effort to prevent allies from leveraging classified data in their own negotiations, such as those seen at the recent Washington summit. BRITAIN IN THE CROSSHAIRS Analysts suggest that Britain is the primary target of Gabbard’s restrictions. London was the origin of the notorious dossier portraying Donald Trump as a Russian agent, authored by former MI6 officer Christopher Steele. Today, British interests are focused on embedding themselves in Ukraine as political overseers, sidelining Washington from lucrative economic deals. In March, Daily Mail reported that Washington had already barred Britain from passing along American-derived intelligence to Kyiv. Until now, loopholes allowed the UK to continue, but Gabbard’s directive closes that door, leaving Ukraine without a vital stream of battlefield intelligence. Internal Purge of ‘Moles’ The internal restrictions also point to a sweeping purge within US intelligence. Leaks and political manipulation, particularly surrounding Russiagate, appear to have prompted a cleanup campaign. Ongoing dismissals began with diversity-related controversies but have now widened to figures tied to fabrications against Trump. The Economist recently reported that a long-serving CIA officer, with more than 20 years of experience running operations in Russia and the former Soviet Union, was dismissed. Her removal underscores the restructuring of US intelligence priorities, with China—not Russia—now identified as the primary challenge.

Alaska and the fate of Russian frozen assetsOn Friday, 15 August 2025 the summit between President Trump and President Putin took place leaving the world guessing about what was really achieved there. By all appearances, it wasn’t much but it’s certain that much of what was discussed was done in secret and is not yet for public consumption. At any rate, both leaders appeared very satisfied with the encounter with Trump rating it a ten out of ten. Vladimir Putin affirmed his belief that if Donald Trump were President in 2020, the war in Ukraine would not have happened. The very fact that the meeting took place at all must not be underestimated. Contrary to the pronouncements of some observers that the two leaders met with a tabula rasa, unsure what could be achieved during their meeting, but we know that the foundation of the meeting was a proposal made to the Russians by the Trump government, which “we find acceptable,” in the words of Putin’s longtime aide Yuri Ushakov. The Russian position on Ukraine has been consistent and very firm. They have demanded that all of Russian security concerns must be addressed and that any talk of peace must be based on removing the causal factors that led to the war. They also categorically rejected the unconditional ceasefire that the Ukrainians and European leaders have insisted upon. The fact that the two Presidents met in person suggests that the Trump administration expressed readiness to talk peace on those terms. Was Ukraine only a side issue? Furthermore, the makeup of the two powers’ respective delegations suggests that the scope of the discussions go far beyond “Project Ukraine.” In fact, Trump’s delegation was a mix of high-level cabinet members, close political aides and trusted allies with focus on economic and diplomatic domains. It did not include any Russia or Ukraine policy specialists. US Delegation: Marco Rubio – Secretary of State Steve Witkoff – Special Envoy to Ukraine and the Middle East Scott Bessent – Treasury Secretary Howard Lutnick – Commerce Secretary John Ratcliffe – CIA Director Susie Wiles – White House Chief of Staff Karoline Leavitt – White House Press Secretary Steven Cheung – Communications Director Dan Scavino – Political Aide James Blair – Political Aide Beau Harrison – Political Aide Nick Luna – Political Aide Robert Gabriel – Political Aide Will Scharf – Political Aide Ross Worthington – Political Aide Monica Crowley – State Chief of Protocol Pete Hegseth – Defense Secretary (noted as part of the expanded working lunch) President Putin’s smaller delegation similarly included a group of high-level officials in the domains of economy and finance. Russian delegation: Sergei Lavrov – Foreign Minister Yuri Ushakov – Foreign Policy Advisor, senior Kremlin aide and former Russian Ambassador to the United States (1998–2008) Andrei Belousov – Defense Minister (but economist by his specialty) Anton Siluanov – Finance Minister Kirill Dmitriev – US-educated Head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund Alexander Darchiev – Russian Ambassador to the United States Notably, Putin’s delegation did not include Vladimir Medinsky, Russia’s chief negotiator for Ukraine, suggesting that the two sides may have already reached an understanding on that issue and used the occasion of their Alaska summit to focus on the question of future development between the two nations, primarily economic and political issues.

And I remember writing to a number of people at the time saying, “The world’s media has to respond to them for what they are, as death threats against journalists.” But of course, what the entire world’s media did was simply report it as a news story. Breaking news. This is from the Israel Defense Forces. Exposed. Six Al Jazeera journalists have been exposed as Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists. The Israelis themselves know it is absolute nonsense that these people are Hamas operatives. Take the case of Anas al-Sharif, who has been on camera pretty much constantly for the last two years, when he is meant to have found the time to be a Hamas operative. It’s absolutely absurd. They’re testing the waters. They’re seeing what they can get away with. And sure enough, since then, of the six people on that list, two of them have been murdered by the Israelis. The Israelis will not allow international media in. They say, “Look, pictures are coming out anyway.” But at the same time, of course, they condemn those pictures as being fake. There is a very interesting question here about how Western news organizations deal with this problem. There is a very logical way to deal with it. Al Jazeera does this, Dropsite also does this. They take local journalists and they employ them. They don’t simply let them just hold forth immediately onto camera. They treat them like any other employee and there are senior management and things have to go through various editorial processes, but they make use of the very, very good and extraordinarily brave journalists on the ground. It’s a very obvious question. Why doesn’t the BBC do that? Why doesn’t ITN do that? It’s the obvious thing to be doing.
pro Palestinian song Shutdown ‘PalFaction’, on how the song developed. Vocalist, guitarist and music producer, MADALDN, acts a solo artist and front woman for the punk rap band; Bang Bang Bunny. MADALDN started rapping at the age of thirteen, when she lived on a notorious estate in Plumstead, South East London.However, after a period of homelessness, she found her way into a radical activist group, where she learned guitar. Mada’s lyrics became increasingly politicised and centre around social justice; she states, “ were fuelled by anger due to traumatic events. I was pushed into punk rap. I didn’t fall into it.” To date, she has performed at venues across England and as a solo artist as and as part of a band, and smashed the main stage at Equinox and several other festivals in 2022 alone. Her music has appeared on Resonance, Manchester and Soho Radio. “We have a number of shows coming up in Bristol, London and Brighton and I can’t wait to pump up the crowd”. MADALDN states she is currently working on two albums, and an E.P. Her first single ‘Fallen Star’ was released just after Christmas 22 for distribution across all major platforms. MADALDN is not only a punk and DNB producing, guitar playing singer, songwriter and rapper from London, she also plays rhythm guitar with the band Bang Bang Bunny. She is also the founder of the ‘That Is Class’ project, an organisation that aims to bring knowledge of the class divide within the arts and creative spheres to the attention of the wider public. She reached out to us on the off chance and as we are lovers of anything anarchic and against the grain, especially within the world of drum and bass music, we thought it would be good to find out a bit more about what she does and more to the point, why she does it. So MADALDN, welcome to INSIDE DNB. Tell us a bit about the ‘That is Class’ project you founded. Order and hierarchy exists in every corner of every part of every society, but I guess if you’re not involved directly in the arts, its place within this movement is something you might not necessarily consider. What personal experiences drove you to create the project? I finished school and had no GCSE’s due to the gang violence I experienced. University wasn’t something that had ever entered my mind. A company called Connexions helped me to get back into education and I did an Access Course. Within a few months of attending the course, I was applying to University. It was here that I came across a subject I’d never heard of called Philosophy. I read the description, which mentioned argueing in context and deeper thinking, and I resonated with it, so on a whim, I chose it.
