Part One – Local and National News Review
Mal Sainsbury, former Labour Party member and social justice campaigner, joins Tony and Martin. Mal explains how housing problems have changed in UK since the 1970s. Rent fixing. Right to Buy. How can housing problems in UK be improved? ‘Bristol desperately needs more council homes so why are we selling them off?’ By Zoe Peat Thursday Mar 20, 2025 In the Green-led administration’s recent council budget, the Greens, Liberal Democrats and Conservatives unanimously voted to sell off council housing schemes and scrap more than 2,000 new council homes that were set to be delivered in the next five years. During the budget meeting, three of my Labour colleagues – who are council tenants themselves – gave moving testimonies about how council housing had saved their lives. With Bristol in the grip of a housing crisis, keeping these homes in public ownership is essential. But alas, their words fell on deaf ears. According to the Local Government Association, the average age of a UK councillor is 60, with only 16 per cent under 45. Some of our older councillors in Bristol would have first bought their homes in the 1970s when they cost just £5,000. By the decade’s end, that figure had risen to £20,000: still an attainable sum for a working person. Today, £20,000 barely covers a house deposit, with the average home in Bristol costing £380,000. It’s not just property prices that have soared; rents have too. In 2020, as a student, I paid £475 a month (bills included). When I returned after the pandemic, I paid £650 (bills not included). Now, my partner and I live in a one-bedroom flat in Lawrence Weston, paying £1,150 a month in rent alone. For the same price in places like Thornbury or Bradley Stoke, we could afford a two-bedroom house. I’m not here to moan about the cost of my rent though. I am merely trying to demonstrate how the rental market has drastically changed in the last five years alone. I have been elected to represent Bristol, a city that I truly love. And the honest truth is that myself and many others are being priced out of our city. Now, I am very fortunate. I come from a two-income household, I have no children and other than my student loan I have no debts. I am not fleeing domestic abuse nor am I unable to work. However, this is not the case for many residents in Bristol. In March 2024, we had more than 1,500 households living in temporary accommodation and more than 800 people sleeping rough. Not only is this morally wrong; it costs the taxpayer more than £13m annually. If the council built the homes Bristol needs, we would save huge sums of money that could be invested into other vital services.
Al Jazeera report – Rachel Reeves’s Spring Statement – increase in defence spending and benefits cut. Will this work? I Paper article – shoved in to poverty Revealed: 800,000 to miss out on up to £4,500 in PIP after benefits cut The changes will mean 50,000 children pushed into poverty, an impact assessment finds Chloe Chaplain Senior Political Correspondent March 26, 2025 Welfare reforms will mean 800,000 people are blocked from receiving disability benefits, costing them an estimated £4,500 a year. An impact assessment on the cuts announced last week by Work and Pensions Secretary, Liz Kendall, said these changes would push 250,000 more people into poverty – including 50,000 children – by 2029 to 2030. Changes to out-of-work sickness benefits – which were toughened up in Wednesday’s statement – will lead to 2.25 million universal credit health element (UC Health) recipients losing £500 a year. A further 730,000 future claimants will be blocked from claiming at all, costing them £3,000 annually. But this modelling does not include the impact of the £1bn additional funding to support people with health conditions into work. Government insiders expect the employment support will mitigate the loss of income, and increase in poverty, by allowing people currently locked out of the workforce to earn an income. But this was not scored in the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) forecast. And Labour MPs, who were already uneasy about cuts announced last week, expressed anger on Wednesday after Chancellor Rachel Reeves was forced to go further in scaling back welfare by cutting UC further. MPs are receiving regular briefings with campaign groups aimed at spreading the word about the impact of the welfare cuts, The i Paper understands. Insiders believe the briefings could be crucial in developing the size and shape of a rebellion on PIP support when a vote comes to the Commons. Around 35 concerned MPs have been involved so far but it’s thought that could grow to around 50,” sources said. “There’s a nervousness from large parts of the party, and people very worried about what is happening. And this is from people who are super loyal, people who say they would die for the party. They’re saying ‘I’m a bit queasy about this’,” one MP said. But there is doubt as to how large a rebellion could actually be, with initial claims that up to 100 MPs could be prepared to vote against the government now diluted by rebel sources. One Labour source said they expect a rebellion to be smaller but said there are a “significant number of MPs very unhappy with this, excluding the usual suspects” government “.
RAF committing genocide in Cyprus, and vandalising Paddington Bear statue in Newbury… Bristol Elbit weapons manufacturers. Two RAF lads destroy Paddington Bear statue when drunk. Rachel Reeves on why she’s cutting benefits. Labour Party not what it used to be. Article 25 on basic human rights. Paddington vandals ‘antithesis’ of RAF royal service, says judge Two RAF engineers who broke a Paddington statue have been told by a judge they are the “antithesis” of everything the bear stands for. Daniel Heath and William Lawrence, both 22 and based at RAF Odiham in Hampshire, each admitted an offence of criminal damage at Reading Magistrates’ Court. The statue in Newbury, Berkshire, was damaged before being taken shortly after 02:00 GMT on 2 March. The pair, who committed the offence while drunk on a night out, have been ordered to carry out unpaid work and each pay £2,725 to cover the cost of repairs. Two young men both seen wearing suits. One has a flatcap covering part of his face and is also wearing sunglasses. The other’s face can be seen clearly. Daniel Heath is seen on the right in a blue suit with his face uncovered – William Lawrence is seen on the left with a grey suit and blue tie.On sentencing, district judge Sam Goozee said Paddington Bear was a “beloved cultural icon”. “He represents kindness, tolerance and promotes integration and acceptance in our society,” he said. “His famous label attached to his duffle coat says ‘please look after this bear’. “On the night of the 2nd of March 2025, your actions were the antithesis of everything Paddington stands for. “Your actions lacked respect and integrity, two values you should uphold as members of the armed forces.” The newly installed statue was stolen from a bench on 2 March CCTV footage was shown in court in which Heath, of Oakhall Park, Thornton, near Bradford in West Yorkshire, and Lawrence, of John Street, Enderby, Leicestershire, could be seen stopping by the Paddington Bear statue on Northbrook Street and attempting to lift it off the bench. The seam of the statue then broke off and the pair could be seen walking off with the broken half. The judge said the men then took it in a taxi back to RAF Odiham. Thames Valley Police confirmed the statue did appear for sale on Facebook marketplace, but did not investigate further as it was recovered from the boot of Lawrence’s car soon after.
Crispin Flintoff on how the workplace has changed in UK since late 1980s, and the waning influence of the Unions affecting this. Nationalise our facilities. China and Russia compared to UK. Finance capital vs industrial capital. Workplace morale decimated by Thatcher, privatisation, casualisation & weak unions – by Crispin Flintoff A month or so ago, I posted about how I have heard a few people in their 70s saying they are looking forward to dying as they find the state of the world so depressing. I put it down to the way Starmer has sucked all the hope out of us, but there is more to it than that. Many people have been struggling with depression or low spirits for a considerable time and I think I can trace why this is from personal experience. I feel more isolated than I have ever felt in my life. My social circle is very small. I don’t tend to make an effort with friends and family. And I have noticed that other people feel the same from posts I’ve been reading on here. I can trace how things changed for me back to 2010 when I was made redundant from my last permanent job. From my first job at Charing Cross Hospital in the 1980s, delivering medical equipment to wards and laboratories; to collecting trollies or working on the till at Sainsburys in the 1990s; or sub-editing really hard-going articles on the law, medicine or shipping in the 2000s: I loved the camaraderie of the workplace. We’d have tea breaks together, fag breaks, go to lunch or to the pub after work. Or we’d go to parties at each other’s houses. Some workplaces had social clubs – working men’s clubs – and people would feel a sense of belonging for their entire lives through their job. At the time, I didn’t realise that I was living the dream. But, since 2010, I’ve had no job security and none of the places I’ve worked at have kept me on for more than a six or nine month contract. And it’s felt like the other workers don’t want to know you once you’ve done your time. The end of job security has had a massive impact on people’s mental health. At the same time as job security has become a thing of the past, our social lives have started to revolve around communicating online – especially on social media or Whatsapp. People don’t bother ‘catching up’ with each other as much as they used to as I can just check someone’s Facebook posts or send a Whatsapp maybe with a couple of pictures. This situation was even more pronounced during lockdown. With lockdown, we became fearful of other people. On Sunday I spoke to someone who is still isolating and doesn’t go out if it is not essential. There are apparently two million people in this country who don’t feel safe enough to go out. And who can blame people for feeling scared when our world view is shaped by what we see on mainstream media and also on here – most of which is deliberately alarming click bait. Social media also produces a feeling of being ‘less than’. People filter their images and their lives to look as glamorous as possible and this can make people feel they are not good enough. This online culture also feeds personal attacks and cancel culture. People argue about who is right and wrong and put themselves into groups. They then reinforce their idea they are in some kind of tribe with only people they agree with. God knows how many friends I have lost through this. Bickering on social media divides us all and weakens any opposition we have to constant attacks being made on us by the government. What we call ‘the Left’ is in a terrible state at the moment because of this. We need to build real relationships again and build communities that have gone. Our spirit is being broken. I am sort of trying that with the Zoom show every Sunday morning and I’ve got a Curry on Comrades coming up at the end of April. These things keep me going!

Walk-in degrees, sham students and a giant university fraud scandal – Applicants are suspected of scamming taxpayers out of hundreds of millions of pounds for courses they don’t intend to take The Times article – student fraud loans. PBSA Student flats. Walk-in degrees, sham students and a giant university fraud scandal Applicants are suspected of scamming taxpayers out of hundreds of millions of pounds for courses they don’t intend to take Izzy Lyons Harry Yorke, Deputy Political Editor Saturday March 22 2025 Thousands of students are fraudulently claiming hundreds of millions of pounds from Britain’s university loan system. A Sunday Times investigation has discovered that individuals with “absolutely no academic intent” are enrolling on degree courses every year to take out loans, with “no intention of paying it back”. Officials fear there is “organised recruitment” of Romanian nationals in particular. The majority of students under scrutiny are believed to have enrolled at so-called franchised universities — which are small colleges paid to provide courses for established universities but often have low grade requirements. There are at least six franchised providers where fraudulent claims from students have been identified, it is understood. The investigation reviewed leaked financial documents and company accounts, and interviewed a dozen sources in the Student Loans Company (SLC), the Department for Education (DfE) and the Office for Students (OfS), as well as lecturers. It found: In 2022/23 the SLC identified 3,563 suspicious loan applications, totalling almost £60 million — but recent investigations, revealed in documents seen by The Sunday Times, point to far greater levels of potential fraud, with estimates that it could run to hundreds of millions of pounds. The SLC identified a number of franchised providers where students have claimed fraudulent loans, after it spotted suspicious applications involving fake documents and address duplication. Franchised colleges are enrolling students who cannot speak adequate English or accepting screenshots of Duolingo tests as proof of English proficiency. At some universities with franchised providers, between 35 and 55 per cent of applicants last year were Romanian. Some students who enrol on franchised courses drop out after receiving their first £4,000 maintenance loan then enrol again the following year to claim the money again, according to a university employee. One franchise college made £234 million in revenue last year and increased its profits by 1,266 per cent in three years. Writing for The Sunday Times, Bridget Phillipson, the education secretary, said the revelations “point to one of the biggest financial scandals in the history of our universities sector”. She announced that the Public Sector Fraud Authority, which sits under the Cabinet Office and the Treasury, will be given the job of investigating suspected exploitation of the student loan system. The UK’s student loan debt, which is underwritten by the taxpayer, has ballooned to £236 billion and is expected to reach £500 billion by the 2040s…
Meanwhile THE MOST MASSIVE profits are being made from student loan debts – PBSA investment hits £3.9bn Knight Frank’s quarterly review of the key development and investment themes in the UK student property market Nearly £575m was invested in the UK purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) market in the final quarter of 2024, taking annual investment to £3.87bn, according to the latest Student Market Update. Annual investment rose 14% in 2024, with year-on-year volumes rising from £3.39bn in 2023. But, while this pick-up in investment demonstrates the attractiveness of the PBSA market, volumes were less than anticipated in the fourth quarter. Merelina Sykes, joint head of student property at Knight Frank, said: “Deal times for stabilised assets are taking longer because of building safety regulations, which has pushed some transactions into early 2025. “That said, overall activity was still robust.” According to our latest report, 66 deals completed in 2024, putting the year comfortably above the five-year average of 57 transactions. With a lack of standing stock available in 2024, the year’s transaction landscape was defined by a particularly-liquid land market. Nearly 50% of deals completing in the fourth quarter were development sites, capping a record year for student land sales. Overall, 22 development site sales were completed over the course of the year, accounting for a third of deal volumes. Holly Lush-Thornton of Knight Frank Research, said: “PBSA developers have taken advantage of a quieter land market and softer pricing over the last 12 months, with some more-traditional market participants having taking a ‘wait-and-see’ approach given challenges around viability and private sales demand.” And the firm predicts investment momentum looks set to build in the year ahead. Sykes said: “Our team is tracking £1.3bn of transactions currently under offer”. PBSA developers have taken advantage of a quieter land market and softer pricing over the last 12 months, with some more-traditional market participants having taking a ‘wait-and-see’ approach given challenges around viability and private sales demand. “The majority of deals under offer are for stabilised or portfolio deals, reflecting the opportunity investors see in upgrading and repositioning existing stock.” And Lisa Attenborough, head of debt advisory at Knight Frank, added: “Interest rates are on their way down, and this will continue to have an impact on debt costs. “Financial markets are betting on two cuts to the Base Rate in 2025. This should pave the way more-accretive debt finance and enhanced returns.”
BBC QT – Gary Stevenson – where to get taxes from rather than cutting benefits. Ex-City trader Gary Stevenson says ’Rich people expect poor people to be stupid’ He was expelled from school at 16 for trying to sell £3 worth of cannabis to a friend. Thankfully, he was allowed to sit his exams, achieving eight A*s, before taking A-Levels elsewhere. Four As helped him win a place at the prestigious London School of Economics. There, he quickly came to a profound realisation: “Rich people expect poor people to be stupid.” Turning up for his first day in a blue and white hoodie and matching joggers, he became an object of fascination among the entitled children of Singaporean and Chinese millionaires, Russian oligarchs and European toffs. For most students, he discovered, LSE wasn’t about studying, it was about bagging a prized City internship leading to a lucrative job in finance – thus perpetuating the cycle of wealth and privilege. While fellow students – some of whom viewed Bret Easton Ellis’s fictional serial killer investment banker Patrick Bateman as a role model – worked family contacts, Stevenson knew his only chance was to beat “the Arab billionaires and Chinese industrialists to a top first-class degree, and just pray to God Goldman Sachs noticed”. Then, he heard about The Trading Game, a maths contest pitching undergraduates from elite universities against one another in simulated financial trades. The winner would receive an internship with Citibank. He didn’t know anything about trading but “decided to show them we’re not all stupid, us kids in tracksuits”. Having slaughtered the competition – you feel almost sorry for the students in expensive suits facing the “small, aggressive-looking boy with an almost incomprehensible accent and a white hoodie with a blue rhino on it” – he arrived full-time at Citibank in 2008 aged 21 and, in his own words, “feral”. Citibank had spotted something in Stevenson – “I had literally no idea what I was doing but everyone around me was convinced I was going to be the next big trader and they were right”. Dispensing with its graduate scheme, the bank put him straight into the team trading in FX or foreign exchange loans. Their desk, known as Short-Term Interest Rate Trading, or STIRT, was about to come into its own during the lending crunch in the wake of the crash. Millions of people around the world were losing their homes and jobs, but fortunes were still being made. A colleague likened the STIRT team to the rabbits from Watership Down – survivors of an apocalypse. Within a couple of years, the rookie trader was out-performing almost everyone – juggling eye-watering sums of money in complex deals. It was a zero-sum game. For Stevenson to win, someone else had to take a bath. Ultimately, the position that would make him rich – trading against a global recovery – reflected his own background. Back in Ilford, he could see people losing their homes and jobs: the “k***heads” on the Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee, responsible for setting the UK’s interest rate and promising a turnaround, didn’t have a clue. His trades were soon pulling in millions of dollars in profits. One year, his bonus reached a stratospheric $2.5million. Yet, almost inevitably, the money didn’t make him happy. And the fall was fast. “I don’t want to sound ungrateful, but it’s an insane thing when you’ve experienced so much poverty,” he admits. “We’re all sitting around thinking, ‘I wish I had money’, but when it happens, it’s complicated. “I became like a machine. I was making a lot of profit but I was also doing an enormous amount of trades. You’re so plugged into the game, you forget everything else.” Conducting hundreds of transactions a day, collateral damage included relationships with family, friends and his girlfriend. Stevenson was soon rising at 2am and running on a treadmill because he couldn’t sleep.
Stephen Dorril, author, on how the secret services and Britsh Army took over Heathrow Airport in June 1974 influenced UK politics in the 1970s. Review: Smear! Wilson and the Secret State by Stephen Dorril and Robin Ramsey – This is something of an under researched area and one that often goes un-discussed even in political circles. Which may go some way to explaining the necessity of reviewing a book first published in 1991. Smear!: Wilson and the Secret State is nothing if not extensive. The book covers the period from 1916 to 1979. Some will simply write off a book like this as conspiracy theory. There are some who would do so on any book about the secret state or Civil Service that isn’t an extended press release. They can be safely dismissed as a book like this isn’t for them. Those that come with reservations but an open mind should find much more of value in this book. One major advantage of its density is that every single claim is meticulously referenced in the book’s forty-four pages of footnotes and can be checked independently by the reader. This by itself is a marked difference from the crankier end of the conspiracist market. Overall it’s an impressive work. I’d go as far as to say that the evidence provided is enough to give strong support to the book’s central thesis; that the secret state and the Civil Service didn’t like Harold Wilson, especially in his approach to MI5 surveillance of the Labour Party (this seems inarguable and confirmed by sources independent of the Labour Party, and Norman Tebbit’s lockdown admissions) and that they worked actively to undermine Wilson. Another particularly interesting section was in the book’s re-examination of the coup plots against Wilson, the most important of which was headed up by Cecil Harmsworth King, owner of the Daily Mirror. (King’s motivations are still unclear, but may have been down to pure venality due to Wilson refusing to make him an Earl after the Mirror’s support for Labour in the general election). When acknowledged at all, much media commentary has treated the plot as a bit of a joke. But this from Hugh Cudlipp’s autobiography (then editor of the Mirror and an eyewitness to the alleged coup meeting) sounds much more serious and sinister: [Cecil King] awaited the arrival of Sir Solly and then at once expounded his views on the gravity of the national situation, the urgency for action, and then embarked upon a shopping list of the Prime Minister’s shortcomings… He explained that in the crisis he foresaw as being just around the corner, the Government would disintegrate, there would be bloodshed in the streets and the armed forces would be involved. The people would be looking to somebody like Lord Mountbatten as the titular head of a new administration, somebody renowned as a leader of men, who would be capable, backed by the best brains and administrators in the land, to restore public confidence. He ended with a question to Mountbatten- would he agree to be the titular head of a new administration in such circumstances? Quite obviously, the failure of a coup plot doesn’t mean the plot never happened. It is hard to disagree with Jonathan Freedland’s conclusion that this was the UK’s Watergate. Freedland remains one of the very few mainstream journalists to ever have tackled the issue head on. I can only scratch the surface of what the book covers in this review, but I hope I’ve demonstrated why it’s a vital work for any activist, whether in the Labour Party or outside it.

Trump, Putin ceasefire deal. Zelensky in Paris with European leaders – soldiers to Ukraine? Ukraine, Russian truces not working – each blaming the other for violating it. UK encouraging Ukraine to break truces – like Minsk. The Libertarian Institute – Zelensky vetoing deals. Russia Accuses Ukraine of Sabotaging Ceasefire Agreement In the hours following an announcement that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to a limited truce, Moscow and Kiev made accusations of ceasefire violations. Russian Representative to the UN Dmitry Polyansky charged Ukrainian President Zelensky with attempting to sabotage the deal. “Kiev, having agreed in words to the energy ceasefire, continues to plan and carry out strikes on Russia’s energy infrastructure, trying to deceive both us and the United States in this way,” he told the UN Security Council. “It is absolutely clear that through such actions it is trying to derail any peace agreements and clearly demonstrates its lack of commitment.” On Tuesday, a US-brokered agreement between Russia and Ukraine was announced. The limited ceasefire calls for the restoration of the Black Sea Initiative and halting attacks on energy infrastructure. After the announcement, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak told reporters that Ukraine was continuing attacks on Russian energy infrastructure. “Despite all the discussions regarding the ceasefire, the Ukrainian side is so far still conducting attacks on our energy facilities, our energy infrastructure,” he said. Kiev denied violating the agreement, with Ukraine’s General Staff saying “It should be highlighted that the military department of the aggressor country is spreading false and groundless accusations in order to prolong the war and continue its false propaganda and typical attempts to deceive the world.” On Tuesday, Zelensky’s adviser Dmytro Lytvyn accused Russia of attacking Ukrainian energy sites since March 18. “They’ve been hitting our energy sites with bombs, attack drones, and FPV drones. We’re not going into all the details, but there have already been eight confirmed hits on energy facilities,” he wrote on X. “Every night our air defense forces shoot down nearly a hundred attack drones – and many of those drones were likely targeting other energy facilities.” It is unclear if any of the strikes Lytvyn is referring to happened after the ceasefire was implemented on Tuesday, the day Zelensky said the truce was set to begin. However, Zelensky did accuse the Kremlin of attempting to manipulate the agreement during his nightly video address on Tuesday: “Unfortunately, right now, right today, right on the day of the talks, we see how the Russians have already started to manipulate.” He continued, “They are already trying to distort the agreements and actually deceive our mediators and the whole world.” Following the rollout of the agreement, Zelensky said that if Moscow violated the truce, Washington should send additional arms to Ukraine and place new sanctions on Russia. While the ceasefire appears to be on shaky ground, Polyansky said the limited truce presented a chance to end the war. “Today, thanks to the efforts of the presidents of Russia and the United States, there is a real chance that this settlement will be diplomatic and that tens, if not hundreds of thousands of lives of ordinary Ukrainians will be saved. Of course, the military scenario remains on the table,” he told the UNSC. “And we are also ready for its implementation. But we prefer peace and diplomacy.”
Valerii Zaluzhny – being groomed in London & taught English? Next in line after Zelensky? Who Is Valery Zaluzhny? Ukraine’s Ex-Army Chief Could Challenge Zelensky Donald Trump’s rift with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky deepened this week as he labeled him a “dictator” and urged Ukraine to hold elections, intensifying speculation over who could succeed the Ukrainian leader. Amid the public fallout, The Economist reported Wednesday that it had obtained internal polling indicating that General Valery Zaluzhny—who was a key figure in the war against Russia—would beat Zelensky should a wartime election be held. Who is Valery Zaluzhny? Zaluzhny served as Ukraine’s Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces from 2021 to 2024 and now holds the position of ambassador to the United Kingdom. He was dismissed as head of the military on February 8, 2024, and replaced by General Oleksandr Syrsky. Tensions between Zaluzhny and Zelensky had been simmering for months before he was removed from his post. The pair are reported to have clashed over the general’s war strategies and the challenge of mass mobilization, CNN reported. Zaluzhny’s growing popularity among both the public and the military further fueled speculation that he posed a potential political challenge to Zelensky’s presidency, Ukrainian and Russian media outlets reported. In a commentary for the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, published shortly after Zaluzhny’s dismissal, researcher Konstantin Skorkin described the move as “the first time [Zelensky] has so openly gone against the tide of public opinion.” He said the decision likely alienated voters who view Ukraine’s military personnel as heroes and Zaluzhny as their leader. “But that’s only half the story,” Skorkin added, citing polls showing that 72 percent of Ukrainians—roughly the same percentage who once supported Zelensky—disagreed with Zaluzhny’s removal. What Has Zaluzhny Said About Entering Politics? While Zaluzhny has not officially pledged to run for office, he has not ruled out the possibility. When asked about his potential participation in Ukraine’s future presidential elections, he dismissed the question as “inappropriate” but hinted at a future decision. “The appropriate conditions will come, and then I, as someone serving in a government position, will be able to answer such questions,” he told reporters, Ukrainian online publication Strana reported on Wednesday. Internal polling obtained by The Economist indicates that while Zelensky remains Ukraine’s most popular politician, he would lose a future election to Zaluzhny by 30 percent to 65 percent, the magazine said. Trump Calls for Wartime Elections In a post riddled with inaccuracies on his Truth Social account, Trump branded Zelensky a “modestly successful comedian” who “refuses to have Elections.” “A Dictator without Elections, Zelenskyy better move fast or he is not going to have a Country left. In the meantime, we are successfully negotiating an end to the War with Russia, something all admit only “TRUMP,” and the Trump Administration, can do,” he wrote. Trump was parroting the Kremlin’s talking points in calling for Ukraine to hold elections amid the war. Moscow has long sought to discredit the Ukrainian government by claiming that Zelensky is an illegitimate president, although martial law prohibits elections during wartime for safety reasons.
PMQs – Ukraine. East Ukraine warzone kids evacuated to Russia, spun as a ‘war crime’ by Ukraine and the West. Putin – speech about Arctic in Murmansk. Donetsk republic announces mass evacuation of civilians into Russia from Feb 18 Women, children and the elderly are to be evacuated first, DPR leader Denis Pushilin informed DONETSK, February 18. /TASS/. The Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) has launched organised evacuation of the population into Russia over the threat of a military operation by Ukraine, DPR leader Denis Pushilin said on Friday. “Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky will soon order the military to mount an offensive and to implement the plan of invasion of the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics,” Pushilin said in an emergency address to the republic’s inhabitants, posted on his website. According to Pushilin, in recent months the republic has daily “recorded Ukraine’s buildup of troops and lethal weapons, including Smerch and Uragan multiple rocket launchers, NLAW [anti-tank] missile systems as well as Javelin and Stinger [missiles] along the entire line of contact.” “Today their guns are targeting civilians, us and our children. The enemy’s armed forces are deployed in battle order and are poised to seize Donbass by force,” he warned. The DPR leader pointed out that having gained the experience of warfare, the republic’s forces are on constant combat readiness and are capable of defending both the civilians and infrastructure. Nevertheless, Pushilin went on to say, the lives and health of the republic’s citizens could be threatened in case Ukrainian forces start shelling the DPR residential areas. “Therefore, from today, February 18, mass centralized evacuation of the population to the Russian Federation has been organized. Women, children and the elderly are to be evacuated first,” the DPR leader said. “The management of companies and offices must organize the evacuation of employees’ families. The territorial defense headquarters are to provide transport for evacuation of the civilian population,” he added. Pushilin said that in accordance with the agreement with the Russian leadership, facilities were put up in the Rostov region to accommodate DPR residents. “The evacuees will be provided with everything they need. All conditions have been created for quick crossings at checkpoints,” he said. Escalation in Donbass The situation along the contact line in eastern Ukraine took a turn for the worse in the morning of February 17. The DPR and LPR reported some of the most intensive shelling by Kiev’s armed forces in recent months. There have been no reports of casualties but the shelling damaged some civilian facilities. The spike in tensions occurred as Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky was touring the Ukrainian military’s operation zone in Donbass. Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the Kremlin was keeping an eye on the situation and regards it as “very, very dangerous” due to provocations by Ukraine. Additional ceasefire control measures, which were approved by the Contact Group seeking peace for eastern Ukraine, have been in effect in Donbass since July 27, 2020. The measures include bans on any offensive, intelligence or sabotage activities, the use of all types of aircraft, any shooting, and the deployment of heavy weapons to populated localities.
NATO coup attempt in Serbia? Serbia – weapon LRAD. Government denies using ‘sonic cannon’ at Serbia protests For a few seconds, there was only pure panic, as chaos and fear surged through the crowd at a major anti-government protest in Serbia. What started as confusion has since spiralled into questions over whether an illegal sonic weapon was used to silence the demonstration. A large crowd of protesters in Belgrade were observing a 15-minute silence on Saturday evening in honour of the 15 people killed when part of a railway station collapsed in Novi Sad in November. Then, out of nowhere, a loud, jarring noise shattered the quiet. [or did it?] The mood shifted in an instant. The crowd surged towards the pavement in panic. I was swept along with them. People scattered in all directions. At first, many thought the noise was an emergency vehicle, after what had sounded like a car crash. But there were no sirens. Then came the rumours. Claims emerged that a sonic weapon – a device capable of causing pain, dizziness, and hearing damage – had been deployed against the peaceful protesters. Male and female protesters hold Serbian flags and their mobile phones in the air. Serbian officials have denied these reports, rejecting allegations that security forces deployed a military-grade Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD) – also known as a “sonic cannon” – during the demonstration. The Serbian army has stated that it neither possesses nor has ever used a sonic cannon. In an interview with Serbia’s state-owned broadcaster RTS, military Brigadier General Slavko Rakic said: “A sonic cannon uses a sound system that is amplified well above the sound system of humans and other living things. What we saw is nothing like that. “The effect that is achieved is an amplified sound recording and it should be audible, but that is not present in the recordings.” The public prosecutor’s office in Belgrade has instructed the Ministry of Internal Affairs to investigate the incident. Protesters gathered in memory of those who died in the Novi Sad disaster – a tragedy that sparked unrest across the country Between 275,000 and 325,000 people were estimated to have taken part in the protest. The government put the attendance at 107,000. One of the places where protesters gathered was outside Belgrade’s bright-yellow Student Cultural Centre in the heart of the Serbian capital. For more than four months, students have blockaded their universities and organised protests, demanding that those responsible for the railway station collapse be brought to justice.
NATO coup attempt in Turkey? – Mayor arrested and protests – East West influences. Thousands turn out for Turkey protests after more than 1,400 arrests Thousands of protesters have gathered for a seventh night in Istanbul, in support of the detained mayor of the city, Ekrem Imamoglu Thousands of people in Turkey have turned out for a seventh night of protests which have so far seen more than 1,400 people detained, including students, journalists and lawyers. The nightly unrest began last Wednesday when the city’s Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu – who is seen as the President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s main political rival – was arrested on corruption charges. Rights groups and the UN have condemned the arrests and the use of force by police on the protesters. Imamoglu said the allegations against him were politically motivated, a claim the Turkish president has denied. Speaking to a group of young people at a Ramadan fast-breaking meal in Ankara on Tuesday, President Erdogan urged patience and common sense amid what he described as “very sensitive days.” He added that people who want “to turn this country into a place of chaos have nowhere to go”, and the path protesters have taken is “a dead end”. On Tuesday evening, thousands of students from many universities in Istanbul met in Maçka Park and then marched towards Sisli. Turkey’s main opposition party said Tuesday would be the last nightly vigil in Istanbul but called for a mass rally on Saturday to demand early elections Authorities in Istanbul banned protests and closed some roads “in order to maintain public order” and “prevent any provocative actions that may occur”. As students marched through the Nisantasi district they chanted “government, resign!” and waved flags and banners as they were watched by a large deployment of riot police. Many students had their faces covered with scarves or masks, and acknowledged they feared being identified by the police. Turkey’s main opposition party, the Republican People’s Party (CHP), said that Tuesday’s rally outside Istanbul’s City Hall would be its last in a run of nightly gatherings – and that it is planning a rally in the city on Saturday. “Are you ready for a big rally in a large square in Istanbul on Saturday?” Ozgur Ozel told crowds. “To support Imamoglu, to object to his arrest, to object to the detention of each of our mayors. To demand transparent, open, live broadcast trials, to say that we have had enough and we want early elections.”
Trump Yemen bombings. Trump talks with Iran about nuclear weapons. Trump invites Iran leader to nuclear talks — or else Washington (AFP) – US President Donald Trump said Friday that he has written to Iran’s supreme leader pressing for new talks on its nuclear program, warning of possible military action if not. Iran’s foreign minister told AFP on Friday that his country would not negotiate so long as the United States applies “maximum pressure,” but he was not responding directly to Trump’s letter to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Trump’s outreach marks a departure at least in tone from the hardline stance that marked his first term and could put him at odds with close ally Israel, which last year carried out bombing strikes inside Iran. “Hopefully we can have a peace deal,” Trump told reporters at the White House, saying “we’re at the final moments” on the Iranian nuclear program. “I’d rather see a peace deal than the other,” he said of military action. “But the other will solve the problem.” Trump earlier revealed the letter in an interview on Fox Business in which he said he told Khamenei: “I hope you’re going to negotiate because if we have to go in militarily it’s going to be a terrible thing for them.” It was unclear how Trump sent the letter, which Iran’s mission to the United Nations said it has not received. Former president Barack Obama negotiated a landmark 2015 deal that promised sanctions relief in return for Iran curbing its nuclear program. Trump denounced the agreement and pulled out in 2018 during his first term, over the objections of European allies. He instead imposed sweeping unilateral US sanctions on any other country buying Iran’s oil. Tehran, which denies seeking nuclear weapons, initially adhered to the deal but then rolled back commitments. US officials estimate Iran would now need mere weeks to build a nuclear bomb if it chooses to. On his return to the White House, Trump said he was reinstating — but only reluctantly — his “maximum pressure” policy on Iran. He has since sidelined officials from his first term associated with the hard line, and has vowed to break out of a foreign policy establishment he describes as war-mongering.
‘Israel and the assassination of the Kennedy brothers’ film. Israel was behind serial assassinations of Kennedy brothers: Laurent Guyenot “Israel has lodged itself like a parasite in all of America’s power structures” TEHRAN – Laurent Guyenot, who has co-authored a new documentary on Israel’s role in the assassinations of both John and Robert Kennedy, tells the Tehran Times that the “true American Deep State” is Israel, which had a crucial role in the assassinations of the Kennedy brothers. “There are indeed in the United States, as in most democracies, hidden centers of power, totally immune from democratic accountability, capable of steering the country’s foreign and military policy by various means such as corruption, propaganda, blackmail, and other more criminal means, but the most influential of these power centers are not ‘American’ in any real sense: the true American Deep State, if you will, is Israel,” notes says Guyenot, author of JFK-9/11: 50 Years of Deep State. Guyenot, who is a French author and anthropologist, says, “Israel has lodged itself like a parasite in all of America’s power structures. And it is precisely Israel that, in my opinion, is behind the serial assassinations of the Kennedy brothers.” Here is the text of the interview with him : Q: Today is the 57th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination. You have directed a French documentary on the assassinations of both John Kennedy and his brother Robert, which is now available in English. Can you first tell us how your research began? A: My view of the world was turned upside down in 2011 when I realized that the founding event of the 21st century, the 9/11 terror attacks, was a Big Lie designed to start a new world war. I wanted to understand the background of this operation and studied what I call the “deep history” of the United States, which is basically the history of State lies, false flag attacks, and other conspiracies. And whoever digs into that field has to come to grisp with the JFK assassination. It was a real turning point in U.S. history, although few people realized it. Somehow, on November 22nd, 1963, America was assassinated in Dallas, and a satanic demon took possession of its corpse, and it now roams the earth, sowing deception and terror everywhere. Q: What is the role of the Deep State in the assassination of President Kennedy? A: I have used the phrase “Deep State” in my book JFK-9/11 published seven years ago. But I now find it problematic. The perpetuation of the official lie for more than 50 years shows that those who assassinated Kennedy wield great occult power. But what is important is to specify the identity of the men who hold it. The phrase ‘Deep State’” is a bit like the Freudian unconscious: it is a deliberately vague expression, which reveals nothing. It is actually deceptive because it evokes some kind of national level of commandment. But the “deep power” that killed Kennedy, or that orchestrated the 9/11 false flag attacks, is not “national” power, it is a foreign power. There are indeed in the United States, as in most democracies, hidden centers of power, totally immune from democratic accountability, capable of steering the country’s foreign and military policy by various means such as corruption, propaganda, blackmail, and other more criminal means, but the most influential of these power centers are not “American” in any real sense: the true American Deep State, if you will, is Israel. Israel has lodged itself like a parasite in all of America’s power structures. And it is precisely Israel that, in my opinion, is behind the serial assassinations of the Kennedy brothers.
Suspicious role of Yoko Ono and her former husband Anthony Cox in the murder of John Lennon? Second gunman — not Mark David Chapman — may have shot John Lennon, author claims – Mark David Chapman might be innocent in the murder of John Lennon, according to a British author and TV producer who said his upcoming documentary and book outline how a second shooter might have killed the iconic singer. Chapman may have been brainwashed by the CIA to serve as a patsy, according to David Whelan, who spent three years investigating what he called astonishing inconsistencies in the official narrative of Lennon’s 1980 slaying as well as weird coincidences. Whelan, whose book “Mind Games – The Assassination of John Lennon” and a documentary, told The Post he believes the official narrative that Lennon was shot from behind by Chapman is untrue, and that a more professionally trained gunman shot him from the front, into his chest. As part of his research, Whelan spoke to the surgeon, Dr. David Halleran, and two nurses, Barbara Kammerer and Dea Sato, who tried to save the dying Lennon at the former Roosevelt Hospital and to the lead detective who handled the case. He also pored through reams of police and medical records, he said in an interview from his London home Saturday. Lennon was fatally shot on Dec. 8, 1980, as he and his wife, Yoko Ono, were returning to their apartment at the Dakota on Central Park West. Chapman, now 67, described as an obsessed fan with mental problems, shot the former Beatle with a .38 revolver. He pleaded guilty to the murder after his lawyers briefly considered an insanity defense and is serving a 20-years-to-life sentence at Green Haven Correctional Facility in upstate New York. He’s been denied parole at least 12 times. Whelan said the “official narrative” says Lennon was shot from behind, but his interviews and research with the surgeon and nurses, among others, indicated that Lennon was shot by someone in front of him. In addition, Whelan said, it was dark that night and Chapman was reportedly about 25 feet from Lennon when he fired, a vast distance for an untrained marksman. Yet the bullets entered Lennon in a close grouping that looked professional, Whelan said.
Mark Felton: Operation Clockwork Orange – Secret Military Coup Against British Prime Minister In June 1974, British troops suddenly took over Heathrow Airport in London. Prime Minister Harold Wilson was not informed. Wilson suspected that this was the latest action in a plot against him by a shadowy conspiracy of intelligence agents, retired senior military officers and right-wing journalists including such famous figures as Lord Mountbatten, the current King Charles III’s great-uncle. Many suspected that Harold Wilson was a Soviet agent. Was Wilson right to fear a military coup, something hitherto unheard of in modern Britain? Evidence suggests he may have been right. Dr. Mark Felton FRHistS, FRSA, is a well-known British historian, the author of 22 non-fiction books, including bestsellers ‘Zero Night’ and ‘Castle of the Eagles’, both currently being developed into movies in Hollywood. In addition to writing, Mark also appears regularly in television documentaries around the world, including on The History Channel, Netflix, National Geographic, Quest, American Heroes Channel and RMC Decouverte. His books have formed the background to several TV and radio documentaries.
Brilliant documentary about marketisation of nature disappears off the internet completely – PLEASE KEEP IT RESTORED! Banking Nature – Privatisation of Nature – incredible censored 2012 documentary made for French TV now with English narration. Banking Nature | The Privatization Of Nature | New Environmental Markets | WBCSD English subs (2015) Banking Nature is a documentary that looks at the growing movement to monetize the natural world and to turn endangered species, areas of outstanding natural beauty, and threatened areas into instruments of profit. This documentary was removed from the monoconomy channel in late 2024, early 2025 for reasons unknown – at the time it was the only online copy of this most instructive film. For the sake of humanity, and sanity, please make sure that never happens again. You know what to do. Privatization Of Nature – Who is behind the new environmental wave of interest in planting forests in Africa, making you buy rain-forest and climatic quotas for pollution? It surely wouldn’t be the same which made the last financial crises in sub prime loans? We investigate the commercialization of the natural world. Protecting our planet has become big business with companies promoting new environmental markets. This involves species banking, where investors buy up vast swathes of land, full of endangered species, to enable them to sell ‘nature credits’. Companies whose actions destroy the environment are now obliged to buy these credits and new financial centres have sprung up, specializing in this trade. Many respected economists believe that the best way to protect nature is to put a price on it. But others fear that this market in nature could lead to companies having a financial interest in a species’ extinction. There are also concerns that – like the subprime mortgage crisis of 2008 – the market in nature credits is bound to crash. And there are wider issues at stake. What guarantees do we have that our natural inheritance will be protected? And should our ecological heritage be for sale? Sandrine Feydel and Denis Delestrac delve into the world of green banking in this documentary, reporting that investors buy up the habitats of endangered species and then sell them in the form of shares. The film includes a montage of images of nature, reflective voice-overs and interviews with bankers, economists, activists and policymakers. The economist Pavan Sukhdev is interviewed, saying nature can best be protected by sticking a price tag on it. Pablo Solon is interviewed saying this subjecting of nature to free market forces as a “license to kill” it. Vandana Shiva is also interviewed.
Why does nobody mention the Nazi Satanic Order of Nine Angles who groom online for murder? Home Secretary Yvette Cooper demanded their criminalisation in 2020 – now all forgotten – ITV – Online grooming gangs – Nazi Satanic online grooming and murder group Order of Nine Angles is not mentioned. “Sadistic” online gangs involving teenage boys are committing horrific crimes, including child abuse and sharing extreme material, the National Crime Agency (NCA) has warned. Reports of these so-called “com networks” – as labelled by the NCA because of the online communities they form part of – have increased six times in the UK between 2022 and 2024, involving thousands of users and victims. The NCA says these networks are typically made up of young men driven by desires for “status, power, control, misogyny, sexual gratification, or an obsession with extreme or violent material”. The terrifying influence of the online world on young minds especially young boys explored in the Netflix drama Adolescence is also sparking a national debate And it’s now followed today by a chilling warning from the National Crime Agency about the threat from online gangs of predominantly teenage boys who compete to be cruel which has seen they say a six-fold increase in two years This is sadistic and violent abuse bringing together cyber crime and fraud but also child sexual abuse and commissioning violence across the internet The context is absolutely the misogynist uh influencing that these uh teenagers are seeing Among them Kyle Clifford who killed and raped his ex-girlfriend and then murdered her mother and sister I don’t think that young women should be making their own choices about who their lifelong partners are His actions according to prosecutors fueled by the violent misogyny promoted by controversial influencer Andrew Tate whose videos he watched 24 hours before the murders I’m really worried about what is happening to some of our teenagers as a result of some of this criminal online activity The National Crime Agency is making this a priority and we are strengthening the law so that the organizers of these criminal networks could face up to 10 years in jail Boys are being radicalized online say the National Crime Agency
