Harriet Bradley, who was also a university lecturer in Bristol, has apologised “to all people who’ve been hurt” by the now deleted post on X. She added she “deeply regrets” writing the post “in a moment of anger”. Avon and Somerset Police said it is investigating the post as “an incident of malicious communications”. The one-day conference in north London is being organised for 14 January. ‘Blow up the venue’ Planned speakers include Wes Streeting, Peter Mandelsen, Bridget Phillipson and Pat McFadden. Ms Bradley posted on X: “Somebody blow up the venue!” Formerly the member for Brislington West, Ms Bradley resigned from Bristol City Council in 2020, citing ill-health. She was suspended from the Labour Party in 2019 for a different social media post that the party deemed as anti-Semitic. Ms Bradley was also a former professor in Sociology at the University of Bristol and at University of the West of England (UWE) Bristol. ‘I am ashamed’ Both universities have now stripped her of an honorary title. Ms Bradley said: “I want to offer an apology on what was a very ill-considered stupid tweet, I am ashamed of having made it. “It has had awful consequences for me obviously and I’d like to apologise to anybody who was upset, offended, frightened even.” Mike Katz, the national chair of the Jewish Labour Movement, said the tweet was especially harmful considering a recent rise of antisemitism. He said: “I’d say if you are an academic, you’d think that words matter, what you say matters and it can have an impact. “I don’t think that this is something she was going to do but I think you have got to take the possibility of incitement very seriously. “There is a real feeling of uncertainty around the Jewish community,” he added. ‘Deeply dismayed’ A University of Bristol spokesperson said: “We are deeply dismayed by the inflammatory comment on social media from a former employee who has long since retired, and are taking appropriate action. “We can confirm that we have withdrawn the Emeritus and Honorary Status of retired employee Professor Harriet Bradley with immediate effect.” The University of Bristol said the comment was “inflammatory” A spokesperson from UWE said: “Harriet Bradley’s permanent employment at UWE Bristol ended in 2018. “Following her recent offensive remarks on social media, we can confirm that her honorary title of Emeritus Professor has been removed with immediate effect.” Avon and Somerset Police said: “We are aware of a social media message in response to the announcement of a Jewish Labour Movement conference next year – since deleted by X (formerly Twitter).”The post has also been reported to Avon and Somerset Police by a third party. We have recorded it as an incident of malicious communications, which is currently being investigated.”

This party must never be captured from above. This party must never become a Labor 2.0. And that is why we are here to build a new kind of politics, democratic, principled, and rooted in the power of the working class. Everyone in this room and everyone outside of this room knows what’s wrong with Britain. Nothing works and nothing gets better. This country is rigged to serve the rich and powerful who bought and paid for it. And we plan on beating them before they lead us into fascism to protect their own wealth and power. I our diagnosis is simple. In the last 20 years, mega donations to political parties from the rich haven’t just doubled. They haven’t just trebled, they have gone up sevenfold. When prices go up on your weekly shop, s supermarket bosses are pocketing that and then buying politicians. When your rents sore, landlords use your cash to lobby MPs so their interests are protected. When the seas rise and our towns flood, energy bosses buy another private jet while we all pay the price. The billionaires buy up our newspapers. our social media platforms, our TV channels to gaslighting us into blaming our neighbors from the me for the mess. They want you angry, just not at them. Our message to our friends and our neighbours is if you want to know why your life is getting harder and why everything keeps getting worse, know that the people who control your food, your home, your energy, and your media, they are sending billions of your hard-earned money to the Cayman Islands. And they’ve got three political parties, Labor, the Conservatives, and reform all sewn up. [Applause]

Farmer’s at protest in London against new inheritance tax. New laws against protesting. Budget Day Farmers’ Protest – London 26th November 2025 Farms Not Factories On Budget Day family farmers from all over the country travelled to London to protest against their deliberate destruction by this government. The series of blows includes the impending inheritance tax on farms and businesses, the cancellation of subsidies, competition from cheap substandard imports and unfair trading standards and low prices for their produce caused by supermarket monopolies. While politicians steal their livelihoods, it’s farmers who are paying the price of keeping real food on our tables. Although the protest had been approved 6 weeks in advance, the police (aka the Starmer government) banned tractors from Whitehall with less than 24 hours notice. As many had already left farms as far away as Cornwall, their tractors rolled into London from dawn, and in the resulting chaos ended up scattered across the city. Later, police began seizing tractors and arresting farmers who wouldn’t move their tractors from the peaceful protest. If our farmers continue to be undermined, we will be left with lab-grown meat, and 3D-printed goo; the next generation of junk food as opposed to real food grown by real farmers in mineral rich soil, providing food security, healthy food, and connection to the land. Now more than ever, support your local farmer. Get to know them, buy direct, shorten the supply chain, and put money in the pockets of those who feed us – not corporations set on destroying them.
Muhammad Umer Khalid, who has been held on remand since August, joined the strike on Thursday 4 December. He is accused of involvement in a break-in at RAF Brize Norton in June in which activists allegedly vandalised two planes. Two fellow hunger strikers – Teuta ‘T’ Hoxha and Kamran Ahmed – have already been hospitalised, with Ahmed’s sister saying she fears for his life. Supporters of the hunger strikers announced a “phone blockade” of the Ministry of Justice on Friday, with scores of people signing up to tell the ministry it is “putting the prisoners’ lives in danger every day” by refusing to engage with them. The hunger strikers have made five demands: immediate bail, the deproscription of Palestine Action, an end to censorship of their communications, the closure of UK sites of Israeli weapons firm Elbit Systems, and a fair trial. On Wednesday, deputy Green party leader Mothin Ali visited two of the hunger strikers at HMP Bronzefield. Jon Cink was “so thin he looked almost skeletal”, Ali said, while Amu Gib’s “cheekbones were sticking out, their eyes had sunken in”. Gib, along with fellow detainee Qesser Zuhrah, began refusing food on 2 November. Ali said that Zuhrah’s condition was “highly dangerous” and that she had been denied adequate care. The Labour government has remained silent on the hunger strike, but backbencher John McDonnell has tabled an Early Day Motion calling on justice secretary David Lammy to intervene and uphold the prisoners’ human rights.

We extend our heartfelt condolences and solidarity to his family, friends and all those who knew him. David was a dedicated member of the movement who reported on stories for independent media and a well known and respected member of the local community. David suffered a medical emergency on the road opposite HMP Pentonville. A medically trained person in attendance at the demonstration rushed to assist him and an ambulance was called immediately. Our love and respect go to the comrades who remained by David’s side on the busy high road, shielding him with their keffiyahs and flags to protect his dignity. Their care in that moment was profound and our hearts are with them too. Those closest to David have observed that he passed away engaged in the work he cared about the most – documenting and reporting on the Palestine solidarity movement, work he had been carrying out for decades.

In this thought-provoking and timely book, Jo Bartosch and Robert Jessel expose how the multi-billion-dollar pornography industry has humanity gripped in a chokehold. From rewiring our brains and normalising sexual violence, to shaping new protest movements, the pornographic revolution has achieved a stunning and near-total victory. The triumph of the pornocrats is made more sinister by society’s widespread acceptance that ‘all men watch porn’, the denial of its devastating harms, and a lack of political will to curb the power of the global pornography business. The authors answer the questions that politicians and policymakers are too scared to ask. Why, despite over half a century of feminist gains and lessons in schools on ‘consent’, do today’s school children display more sexist attitudes than their parents and grandparents? Do women really want to be choked and humiliated in bed? How can we fight back and reclaim sex, love and relationships? Drawing on the latest research, Pornocracy charts how the neurological shifts caused by porn use reverberate through society. The book also warns of a dystopian future where AI-powered porn and sextech threaten to reduce us all to masturbating meat puppets on an algorithmic production line. Provocative and powerful, Pornocracy tells the story of how pornography fundamentally changed—perhaps forever—what it is to be human. Jo Bartosch is a journalist, women’s rights advocate and assistant editor at The Critic. Robert Jessel is a writer and campaigner with a particular focus on child exploitation, competing rights claims, freedom of speech, and the impact of new technology on humanity.

Oliver Tickell joins Tony and Martin to ask why Washington now wants to stop the war with Russia it started in 2014 and why the EU wants to keep the killing going? German Chancellor in UK. Oliver Tickell on Ukraine war. Europe just made Russia’s case for Odessa. When you authorize naval-drone terrorism against Russian civilian oil tankers in the Black Sea, don’t whine when Moscow redraws the coastline. You wanted escalation? Fine. Now watch your proxy lose Odessa, and with it access to the Black Sea.Washington is hunting for a face-saving imperfect peace after admitting Russia can’t be beaten. But London, and the EU — delusional, hysterical, and terrified of the coming reckoning from their own populations, keeps pushing the kind of escalation that guarantees one outcome: Russia removing Ukraine’s coastline so the Black Sea can’t be used as NATO’s private terrorism platform. Every naval-drone attack, every strike on a tanker, every British engineered terror op doesn’t weaken Russia, it strengthens Russia’s moral, legal and military argument for needing Odessa. On Nov 21, Ukraine launched a MAGURA V5 naval drone packed with ~200 kg of explosives at the Russian tanker SIG, a civilian vessel transporting fuel. Earlier, on September 13, a coordinated drone-and-missile strike hit Sevastopol’s shipyard, damaging a patrol ship and igniting a fire visible for kilometres. In October, multiple MAGURA V5 drones attempted to strike the Sergey Kotov, a patrol corvette, the footage released by Ukraine’s GUR bears the hallmark of British-assisted targeting and mission-planning systems. The pattern is undeniable, Ukraine’s entire maritime warfare capability is thanks to the West. These naval drones didn’t glide across the Black Sea on luck and instinct. With operational ranges approaching 800 kilometers, Ukraine’s MAGURA V5 drones strike far beyond coastal waters, but only with the eyes and brains of NATO. They rely on Western ISR: real-time satellite feeds from the UK and France, RQ-4 Global Hawk patrols off Romania, Starlink uplinks beaming mission data, and British-assisted target coordination. Europe wasn’t just observing. It was triangulating and commanding. And now, after cheering on attacks launched with AI-assisted maritime drones and foreign-fed targeting, Europe feigns shock that Moscow may erase access to the very coastline launching them. Europe is not supporting Ukraine. Europe is sacrificing it, with full knowledge of what these strikes provoke. Every official in Brussels, London, and Paris understands Russia’s red lines, they’ve memorized them for years. They know that attacking civilian tankers, port infrastructure, and Black Sea Fleet assets from a Nato-commanded coastline forces Moscow to harden the entire southern theater. Yet they push Zelensky, their puppet, into terror operations that guarantee Odessa becomes a battlefield and cease forever to be a bargaining chip. When a coastline becomes a NATO forward-operating platform masquerading as a proxy state, removing that coastline becomes self-defense. Europe knows this. Washington knows this. That is precisely why Europe, cornered and terrified of the political reckoning on its own soil, keeps escalating. Starmer fears British rage at the coming humiliation. Macron fears the streets of France. They all know what’s coming. And here lies the supreme irony: the same political caste that spent decades sneering that Russia was “a glorified gas station” is now petrified at the thought of facing Russia without American cover. Moscow now has zero incentive to leave a hostile coastline intact. Landlock Kiev. Neutralize NATO’s Black Sea fantasies. When Odessa falls, Europe will shriek “aggression,” pretending not to remember who designed the drones, who funded and commanded the operations, daring Russia to respond. But the world will remember. And history will not record this as conquest. It will record it as the foreclosure of a coastline weaponized by Europe’s own madness. Russia will will by turn the map into a verdict, one future generations of Europeans will demand their leaders answer for, and there will be hell to pay for the betrayal of Europe.
Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone, an Italian who serves as chair of the Nato Military Committee, said the alliance may need to adopt a more “aggressive” approach to deter Moscow from continuing its campaign of drone incursions and cyber attacks in Europe. A recent Financial Times investigation revealed how Nato has been put on high alert after three vessels in the Baltic Sea were accused of dragging their anchors in a bid to damage energy and communication cables, with a total of 11 incidents recorded. Other incidents include frequent cyber attacks on European countries and incursions of Russian drones into Nato airspace. Admiral Dragone told the FT that the alliance was “studying everything” in deciding how to respond. “On cyber, we are kind of reactive. Being more aggressive, or being proactive instead of reactive, is something that we are thinking about,” he said. He acknowledged that such an approach would be unusual for Nato, but that new tactics may be required as the war in Ukraine nears the end of its fourth year. Admiral Dragone argued that a “pre-emptive strike” by Nato could be considered a “defensive action”, despite it being “further away from our normal way of thinking and behaviour”. “Being more aggressive compared with the aggressivity of our counterpart could be an option. [The issues are] legal framework, jurisdictional framework, who is going to do this?” In January this year, Nato launched Operation Baltic Sentry, a mission to better patrol the region and deter a possible Russian attack. This included amping up the number of patrol aircraft, warships and drones. Russia was not directly named in the announcement, but Nato secretary general Mark Rutte said at the time that the alliance would improve its monitoring of Moscow’s “shadow fleet”, a term that refers to ships without clear ownership that are used to carry sanctioned oil. Admiral Dragone added that this had been a positive step by Nato to make the region safer. “From the beginning of Baltic Sentry, nothing has happened. So this means that this deterrence is working,” he said. However, concerns still exist about whether the operation is going far enough. A court in Finland recently dismissed a case against a crew on board a shadowfleet ship that damaged undersea cables in the Gulf of Finland, because the incident happened in international waters. Russia said on Monday that Admiral Dragone’s remarks were “extremely irresponsible” and an attempt to move towards escalation. Russian foreign ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said: “We see in it a deliberate attempt to undermine efforts to overcome the Ukrainian crisis. The people making such statements should be aware of the risks and possible consequences, including for the alliance members themselves.”
It followed alleged attempted murders of former spy Sergei Skripal, his daughter Yulia and then-police officer Nick Bailey, who were poisoned in nearby Salisbury in March that year. All three survived, as did Ms Sturgess’s boyfriend, Charlie Rowley, who had unwittingly given her the bottle containing the killer nerve agent. Previously, the Sturgess inquiry heard that paramedics who attended to Charlie Rowley formed a view he was suffering from nerve agent poisoning, but the police disagreed with them. The inquiry heard Mr Rowley was known to Wiltshire Police as a drug user. Temporary Superintendent Kerry Lawes, who was a detective sergeant at the time of the poisoning, gave evidence to the inquiry in central London on Monday. In an email sent to the coroner on July 1, before Ms Sturgess’ death, she said the police had received a report of a possible nerve agent poisoning, which she believed was a drugs overdose. In the email she said the ambulance and fire brigade who attended the scene had “panicked somewhat”, adding that Dawn Sturgess and Charlie Rowley were “two well-known drug addicts”. However, it has since come to light that there is no evidence that Dawn Sturgess was a drug user, and they had indeed been subject to nerve agent poisoning. Ms Lawes, who could not attend the inquiry in person, apologised for these comments in a statement which was read out on her behalf. “I have stated the ambulance and fire panicked somewhat, this was an unprofessional comment to make and I would like to take the opportunity to apologise for it,” she said. She said her belief that the incident was drugs related was influenced by information she had received from the police. She also apologised for writing that Ms Sturgess was an addict. “I now know there is no intelligence to support the assertion that Dawn Sturgess was herself a user of illegal drugs or an addict,” she said. She added that she had always acted in good faith and based on what she thought was in the best interests of the individuals involved. Detective Sergeant Eirin Martin also gave evidence to the inquiry. She received a handover on the case from then-detective sergeant Lawes on July 2. She said the police’s initial hypothesis was that Ms Sturgess and Mr Rowley had ingested drugs cut with pesticides, and this had caused them to overdose. Because of this hypothesis she asked Wiltshire Police’s media team to send out a press release on July 2 warning of a potential “bad batch” of drugs. “At the point I made the press release in relation to the contaminated drugs that was, at that point, the primary hypothesis,” she said.
She said: “I instantly thought they weren’t well. What I found particularly odd, which is what made me notice them, is the positioning of the two of them.” The male was staring into space, moving his mouth but not talking to anybody. Ms Ord couldn’t see his face initially but it struck her as “odd” and the lady next to him was in a “very odd position”. She continued to walk and said to her partner “they don’t look very well”. She described how the female’s body was “hooked” around the bench and she appeared to be fitting – having a tonic clonic seizure. The lady was very “pale and waxy” and the male was “mumbling” and words were “foreign” A military nurse (now identified as Alison McCourt) and her husband were next to stop and help. “It was very unusual for two people to be unwell at exactly the same moment, which was clearly what was happening”, Ms Ord said. Ms Ord says it took 30 minutes for the ambulance to arrive. “It felt like a long time for the ambulance to arrive, it was about 30 minutes in total. The lady was continuing to fit and I was very worried she was going to arrest” Later that evening, Ms Ord was contacted by a police officer – asking how she was. He advised that she was to throw her clothes away, telling her the pair had been poisoned with Fentanyl. She said: “I thought this strange due to the reaction with Narcan. I did not know Fentanyl was a recreational drug, it fits with his pupils being constricted, but Narcan would have worked if it was Fentanyl. I also thought it strange that he would tell me to throw away my clothes if they thought it was Fentanyl.” She told the Inquiry that Fentanyl is ‘not a dangerous drug to touch’. Ms Ord added: “Prior to me understanding what had happened the only things I could categorically say was that it was an extremely bizarre incident that I had never seen anything like before, that my suspicion was that it had been a poisoning of some description whether that was an intentional take of something or not, I would have no idea.”
but didn’t show up for it, has pointed to a possible solution to the baffling Skripal puzzle. What if the third man, or perhaps the man who was supposed to take his place, was by then lying in Salisbury Hospital in a coma from opiate poisoning? What if Sergei Skripal was a triple agent trying to escape back to Russia to tell the world the truth about the Steele Dossier, which he had helped to concoct as a scurrilous, obscene joke and which had unexpectedly become the new bible of the insane war party in Washington? This is the alternative narrative I will set out in detail here so that the reader can judge whether it forms a more plausible and coherent story than the mishmash of improbabilities, absurdities and contradictions served up by the British police and MI6. Of course in the absence of all the facts we must sometimes use imaginative reconstruction to fill in the gaps, but the point is to see how many thorny problems, raised by the facts we do have, can be solved by this narrative and cannot be solved by the official one. It is not necessary to decide whether Skripal was a triple agent from the start (that is, a plant sent across in a spy swap, a classic Cold War way of infiltrating the enemy) or whether he became a triple agent when he realized how important this grotesque Steele Dossier had become and how much the Russians would pay him to come back and demolish it. What evidence there is (his phone call in 2012 to his old school friend, Vladimir Timoshkov, whose account of it three weeks after the poisoning gained widespread UK media coverage) suggests he started out as a purely mercenary traitor. Disillusioned by the collapse of the USSR into a gangster capitalist state run by Yeltsin’s mafia cronies, he decided he might as well profit from it by selling the corpse of what had once been his country to the highest bidder. The Russians didn’t seem to think of him as much more than a common criminal (only worth a moderate 13-year sentence, instead of the death penalty he would have got in the USA for betraying 300 agents) or they wouldn’t have let him survive six years in their prison. Perhaps when they exchanged him in the spy swap they gave him a wink and said: “Since you’re just a money-grubbing whore, any time you want to come back with some interesting stuff learned from working for MI6, let us know and we’ll discuss the price.” He soon got to learn that interesting stuff when he was sent to Salisbury, the home town of his MI6 recruiter and handler, Pablo Miller. Miller had recruited him in Spain in 1995 and later handled him from Estonia, when he was posted there as a diplomat. It is a little too much to believe Skripal’s move to Salisbury was a coincidence. The two men became friends again, met regularly in the pub, and there is every reason to think Miller resumed his role as handler. Miller was now working for Christopher Steele, his old boss at MI6, in his private intelligence firm, Orbis Business Intelligence, based in Mayfair. This is one of the private intelligence-gathering outfits run by ex-spies of the kind Litvinenko used to work for. Just as Litvinenko got Lugovoy (his accused assassin) to help him out with due diligence reports on Russian businessmen because of his more up-to-date information, so Miller would have used Skripal in the same way. His help became vital when Steele got the commission from the Democratic Party to dig up Russian dirt on Donald Trump, and they had to invent some GRU set-up of the Donald with prostitutes in a Moscow hotel. Miller, the old Russia hand, would have done a good part of the work on this dossier and would have needed all the authentic detail his Russian agent could provide. Perhaps it was Skripal who came up with the scenario of Trump getting prostitutes to urinate on the bed the Obamas had slept in, which hidden cameras filmed. He must at least have given it his imprimatur as a typical GRU blackmail ploy to turn somebody into an asset. And that obscene fiction, the core of the Steele Dossier, became the basis of the neo-con legend that Trump was a Russian stooge — the insane underpinning of the whole mad Mueller probe into “Russian collusion”….

Western Intelligence Services – terrorism. Operation Gladio BBC documentary. Operation Gladio The Ring Masters Cold War – BBC Timewatch (1/3) 1992 This 3-part series exposes the clandestine ‘stay-behind’ operation sponsored by the CIA and NATO to counter communist influence after World War II in Italy, as well as in other European countries. The Gladio network of operatives is alleged to have been involved in various acts of terrorism, trying to influence policies through the means of ‘false flag’ operations. An interesting peek inside how these spook agencies or the ‘Deep State’ operates, and very relevant information for the current political climate if you can wade through all the subtitles! ”Operation Gladio was the codename for clandestine “stay-behind” operations of armed resistance that were organized by the Western Union (WU), and subsequently by NATO and the CIA, in collaboration with several European intelligence agencies during the Cold War. The operation was designed for a potential Warsaw Pact invasion and conquest of Europe. Although Gladio specifically refers to the Italian branch of the NATO stay-behind organizations, “Operation Gladio” is used as an informal name for all of them. Stay-behind operations were prepared in many NATO member countries, and some neutral countries. During the Cold War, anti-communist armed groups engaged in attacks on left-wing parties with torture, terrorist attacks, and massacres in countries such as Italy. The role of the CIA and other intelligence organisations in Gladio—the extent of its activities during the Cold War era and any responsibility for terrorist attacks perpetrated in Italy during the “Years of Lead” (late 1960s–early 1980s)—is the subject of debate. The US State Department published a communiqué in January 2006 that stated claims the United States ordered, supported, or authorized terrorism by stay-behind units, and US-sponsored “false flag” operations are rehashed former Soviet disinformation based on documents that the Soviets forged. The word gladio is the Italian form of gladius, a type of Roman shortsword.”

Putin speech in India. India Today World Exclusive: Russian President Vladimir Putin’s Biggest & 1st Interview On Indian TV – In an exclusive interview with India Today, Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed global geopolitics, stating “India is a major global player, not a British colony.” He praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a “reliable person” who doesn’t succumb to pressure. Putin discussed the Ukraine war, asserting “Kiev is the mother of all Russian cities” and claiming Russia was forced to support eastern Ukraine. He also commented on U.S. relations, revealing details of a five-hour meeting with Donald Trump’s envoys and acknowledging American companies’ desire to resume cooperation. Regarding the economy, Putin confirmed that over 90% of Russia-India transactions are in national currencies and clarified that a single BRICS currency is not an immediate goal. The discussion also covered future collaborations in high technology and the Gaza conflict, with Putin advocating for an independent Palestinian state.
Luke Pollard, the minister responsible for procurement, asked for and was given in writing “senior assurances” that previous problems with noise and vibration had been resolved before he announced on 6 November that it was ready for use. He also said other countries might be interested in buying what the UK government has billed as “the world’s most advanced medium-weight armoured fighting vehicle”. Yet, barely a fortnight later, 31 troops suffered sickness and hearing issues after being deployed on the Ajax vehicles during war games on Salisbury Plain. Also – just weeks before Mr Pollard made his announcement at a factory in Merthyr Tydfil, where the American defence company General Dynamics is manufacturing the machines – yet more soldiers had become unwell and even had to go to hospital after their time inside the vehicles. The procurement minister and his boss, John Healey, the defence secretary, will surely be demanding answers from General Sir Roly Walker, the head of the army, as well as civil servants at the Ministry of Defence’s (MoD) procurement arm – Defence Equipment and Support – and General Dynamics. Ministers must be perplexed as to how this could possibly be happening again. A litany of woes affecting the £5.5bn Ajax contract has been well documented by several inquiries. They were triggered when previous trials of the vehicle were belatedly halted in 2020 after troops were harmed by excessive noise and vibration. An investigation into that debacle found that senior officers had failed to act despite knowing for up to two years that the Ajax vehicle put soldiers at risk of harm. The health and safety report called the failure “complex and systemic” and said a culture existed of not treating safety as being equally important to cost and time. A safety investigation is being carried out. But when a previous bout of hearing and sickness injuries during Ajax trials over the summer emerged, the MoD justified pushing on with declaring the vehicle to be operational because no “systemic” problem had been found.
CV90 would have had plenty of its own if they followed the same procurement pattern they have with Ajax. Maybe not permanently injuring people which I will concede but every single bit of kit we field has endless issues: SA80; Eurofighter; Merlin; Milan; PLCE; F35; The Aircraft Carriers; Challenger 1 and 2 tanks; Bowman Radio; Sabre; There’s literally loads. Because we never buy kit off the shelf that’s proven .Look at the new rifle. 2 options: Beretta and Sako building AR platforms. The HK416 is widely used and accepted as a decent reliable AR platform. Is mass produced and available immediately. The Colt Canada (Diemaco) C8 is revered by British special ops units and is widely respected. Avaialable off the shelf. Sig Mcx is available and widely proven and trusted. What do we do? Buy The Knights Rifle for the marines (which isn’t as good as first thought) and field two weapon systems for testing from makers who have never made an AR platform. Another example is the 14? Chinook HC.3s that the M.O.D ordered and wanted to put a different cockpit in instead of the original one fitted. They sat in Boscombe Down for years before the situation was resolved with yet another cockpit version fitted just to get them usable. RB44 comes to mind as well. Absolutely bonkers. It’s so British. Endless pits of wasted money and fallout. Mr Wallace criticised RAF bosses who he accused of attempting to sabotage efforts to reduce the number of aircraft being bought due to worries about cost. Ministers had cut the number of E-7 Wedgetail airborne early warning aircraft on order from five to three due to a lack of funds. The £760million plane was due to cost the British taxpayer in excess of £2billion, as Britain tried to follow other NATO allies in reducing the number of airframes they would purchase. Mr Wallace added: “I was smart to all their tricks… and caught some of them at it, but I didn’t always catch them. “I discovered on orders that while [the RAF] didn’t buy five E-7 Wedgetail aircraft, they bought five radars, two of which are still stuck in sheds now.” A white middle aged man Luke Pollard was understood to have been left “furious” over information being withheld from him (Image: Ben Whitley/PA Wire) The claims come in the week that it was revealed that Defence Minister Luke Pollard was not made aware of concerns surrounding the Ajax platform prior to signing the armoured vehicle off for use by soldiers. Mr Pollard told reporters in Merthyr Tydfil on November 5: “Ajax has overcome significant challenges, but importantly, we can say it has left its troubles behind. “Ajax has proved itself in the field to be the most advanced medium-weight armoured fighting vehicle on the planet, and we have more than a full squadron ready to go, ready to fight, ready to win, with more in the pipeline.” Mr Pollard is understood to have had written assurances from senior officers overseeing the project but was forced to issue a “do not use” order across the Army following dozens of injures to soldiers, three of whom are now at risk of being medically discharged from the forces.

Imran Khan was handed a three-year jail term in August 2023 for illegally selling state gifts – allegations his supporters say were politically motivated. Mr Khan’s sister told Sky News his family had not been allowed to see him for several weeks, and he was being held in solitary confinement. However, in heated exchanges with Sky’s Yalda Hakim, Ahmed Hassan Al-Arabi insisted Mr Khan’s human rights were being respected. Imran Khan is suffering from isolation after weeks of being denied access to relatives, his family have said. Khan has been in jail since his August 2023 arrest after he was handed a three-year prison term for illegally selling state gifts. Now two of his three sisters have spoken out about the former Pakistani prime minister’s plight. Uzma Khanum was the only family member permitted to meet him in Adiala jail, Rawalpindi, where supporters of his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party had gathered to protest against the conditions of the 73-year-old’s detention. Ms Khanum said that Khan, a former cricketer, is facing isolation and psychological strain in prison following weeks in which his family said access had been blocked. “He’s physically well,” said Ms Khanum. “But he’s kept inside all the time, and only goes out for a short while. There’s no contact with anybody.” The meeting took place under strict supervision, said Ms Khanum, though she declined to provide further details. PTI says routine prison visits have been blocked for weeks despite court orders, fuelling rumours about his condition and possible prison transfers. ‘Suppressing the people’ One of Khan’s other sisters Aleema Khan told The World with Yalda Hakim that she believes Pakistani authorities were isolating him as an attempt to “suppress the people of Pakistan”. “I think they are operating out of fear. He represents 90% of this country. How can you put a person who represents 90% of the country in jail? “They basically want to suppress the people of Pakistan. They don’t want their voice to be heard and they are standing behind Imran Khan. They thought if they isolated [him] people will forget him.” Authorities deny any mistreatment, and say that Khan is receiving all entitlements available to prisoners. Ahmed Hassan Al-Arabi, an advisor to Pakistan’s Ministry of Information, told Sky News: “The jails are there as a punishment. They are there for the criminals to stop the evil from the criminals emanating into the society. “If it has to become a political hub, there is no point of jail. Imran Khan’s sisters have been given access [to him]. “There is no distinction between politicians and Imran Khan’s family members, unfortunately”. Khan served as prime minister from 2018 to 2022. He has claimed that the charges against him are politically motivated – and aimed at blocking his political career. Khan’s wife, Bushra Bibi, is serving time in the same prison over corruption, but they are not allowed to see each other except when they appear in court, his supporters have said.
According to his biographer Peter Grose, Allen Dulles, the future head of the CIA, who was in Constantinople at the time, discovered “the source” of the forgery which he then provided to The Times. In the first article of Peter Graves’ series, titled “A Literary Forgery,” the editors of The Times claimed to have proven that the Protocols were plagiarized from the work of Maurice Joly, The Dialogue in Hell Between Machiavelli and Montesquieu. Joly, however, has been reported to having been a Jew and a protégé of Adolphe Crémieux, founder of the Alliance Israélite Universelle, and Grand Master of the Masonic Rite of Misraïm and Grand Commander of the Supreme Council of France, responsible for managing the high degrees of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite within the Grand Orient of France. According to Norman Cohn’s analysis of the text, in Warrant for Genocide: In all, over 160 passages in the Protocols, totaling two fifths of the entire text, are clearly based on passages in Joly; in nine of the chapters the borrowings amount to more than half of the text, in some they amount to three quarters, in one (Protocol VII) to almost the entire text. Moreover with less than a dozen exceptions the order of the borrowed passages remains the same as it was in Joly, as though the adaptor had worked through the Dialogue mechanically, page by page copying straight into his ‘protocols’ as he proceeded. Even the arrangement in chapters is much the same – the twenty-four chapters of the Protocols corresponding roughly with the twenty-five of the Dialogue. Only towards the end, where the prophecy of the Messianic Age predominates, does the adaptor allow himself any real independence of his model. It is in fact as clear a case of plagiarism – and of faking – as one could well desire. In 1884, according to Victor Marsden, who produced the first English translation, a woman named Yuliana Glinka, a disciple of H.P. Blavatsky, hired Joseph Schorst-Shapiro, a member of Joly’s Misraïm Lodge, to obtain sensitive information, and purchased from him a copy of the Protocols, and subsequently gave them to a friend who passed them on to Sergei Nilus.[19] The Protocols were first mentioned in the Russian press in April 1902 by the Saint Petersburg newspaper Novoye Vremya, written by a famous conservative publicist Mikhail Menshikov, who reported “how the lady of fashion [Glinka] had invited him to her house to see the document of vast importance. Seated in an elegant apartment and speaking perfect French, the lady informed him that she was in direct contact with the world beyond the grave and proceeded to induct him into the mysteries of Theosophy… Finally, she initiated him into the mysteries of the Protocols.”
OTTAWA – Liberal MP Chrystia Freeland will move to Oxford, England, to take on a new position next summer administering the Rhodes Trust, the educational charity confirmed Thursday. The charity is famous for its prestigious Rhodes Scholarship, which offers students from around the world the chance to study at the University of Oxford. It announced Wednesday evening that Freeland has been appointed CEO of the Rhodes Trust and Warden of Rhodes House, a building on the university’s campus, starting July 1, 2026. Spokesperson Babette Littlemore confirmed by phone Freeland will move to Oxford for the role. But Freeland herself has not announced plans to resign as a member of Parliament. Freeland’s office did not respond to calls or emails Thursday. Her local Liberal riding association for University—Rosedale did not have information related to her new role, presumed departure or preparations for an eventual candidate nomination race for a byelection. Neither the Prime Minister’s Office nor the House of Commons Speaker’s office had further information. The Rhodes Trust press release that announced her appointment includes a quote from Freeland saying she’s honoured to take on the role with her alma mater. “Having personally benefited from a Rhodes Scholarship, I know how deeply transformative and influential it can be on the lives and futures of our scholars. The experience helped shape my international outlook and played a defining role in guiding my subsequent career,” she said. Freeland earned a degree in Slavonic Studies at the University of Oxford in the early 1990s. The former finance minister and deputy prime minister was in the running for the Liberal party leadership earlier this year and ran a scrappy campaign that positioned her early on as the candidate who would bring the most aggressive fight to U.S. President Donald Trump in his trade war against Canada. She ultimately lost to Mark Carney, who became prime minister in March. Freeland served dual roles in Carney’s cabinet as internal trade minister and transport minister, and led a push to reduce internal trade barriers in Canada. She abruptly stepped down from cabinet in September to take on a special role representing the Carney government on matters dealing with the reconstruction of Ukraine. Freeland developed a reputation as one of the staunchest defenders of Ukraine in its war against Russia, and led an international push to seize Russian assets for the purpose of rebuilding Ukraine… Chrystia Freeland takes job Former Deputy Prime Minister of Canada Chrystia Freeland Appointed as Next Warden and CEO of the Rhodes Trust
in the latest scandal to hit the 27-nation bloc. The arrest of Federica Mogherini, who led the EU foreign service from 2014 to 2019, risked tarnishing the EU’s international image just as it seeks to assert influence in negotiations aimed at ending the war in Ukraine. The EU has been urging Ukraine to tackle rampant corruption. Authorities in Belgium made the arrests Tuesday after raiding the offices of the EU diplomatic service in Brussels and a college in Bruges. Mogherini now serves as the rector of the College of Europe, a prestigious institute of European studies. The European Public Prosecutor’s Office said in a statement that Mogherini, a senior staff member of the college and a senior official from the European Commission were detained at its request and questioned by the Belgian Federal Judicial Police. “The accusations concern procurement fraud and corruption, conflict of interest and violation of professional secrecy,” the prosecutor’s office said. The three were not considered flight risks and were released, the office said. As the bloc’s top diplomat, Mogherini was responsible for supervising the Iran nuclear talks, leading efforts to improve long-strained relations between Serbia and Kosovo, and a host of other foreign policy and security issues. Police searched the properties of the suspects, several buildings of the college and the headquarters of the European External Action Service, or EEAS, the EU’s equivalent of a foreign office, which sits at the center of the bloc’s institutions in Brussels, the prosecutors said. No outside actor, or country, has been named so far in the investigation. Mogherini said in a statement that she “clarified” her position with investigators on Tuesday.

Documentary makers are just about the only public interest investigators left in the NATO zone. From the top down, our mainstream media, police, political parties & intelligence services are being compromised by feudal banksters, secret societies and the mafia. Key people intimidated by psychopathic black magic types and their pliable drones who will even kill to take over positions of power?

February 2019 – Ofcom complaint result: UKLFI exposed as creation of Israeli foreign ministry – Bristol Post article: BCfm cleared after being reported to Ofcom for anti-semitic conspiracy theories – It could have resulted in BCfm radio station being shut down if the complaint was upheld Tony Gosling reported to Ofcom by UK Lawyers for Israel after being accused of anti-semitism A Bristol radio station, which had one of its programmes reported for anti-semitism and racism has been cleared by Ofcom. The radio regulatory body received a complaint from “UK Lawyers for Israel’ over a show on BCfm radio, hosted by investigative journalist Tony Gosling. The weekly politics show, on the popular community radio station based in Easton, was reported for several allegations on a show which aired on November 23. Tony Gosling, who was a former BBC journalist between 1989 and 1993, has been producing and presenting ‘The Tony Gosling Politics’ show every week on BCFM radio for 11 years. They have released a statement which reads: “Whilst we are supportive of all our volunteer presenters, The Tony Gosling Politics Show only represents approximately ten percent of our political output content wise, and less than two per cent of our entire weekly output.” Mr Gosling’s programme looks at local politics and he interviews a range of councillors and MPs in the city. The show is also perhaps more well known for its alternative look at international politics, and he has a cult following online from across the world. Mr Gosling has made regular appearances on national media including the politics show with Andrew Neil on BBC One, and international channels such as Russia Today, Channel1 Russia, NTV, and recently for both Turkish and Lebanon TV.
November 2012 – Tony gets death threats on the phone from the Jewish Defence League – ‘you’re a dead man walking’ – a man calls him and Tony records the call. Audio of UK Jewish Defence League (JDL) death threat against British journalist Tony Gosling (2012) – Avon and Somerset police Special Branch investigate, trace the caller, and after six months report to Tony that the individual has been served a caution that they will proceed with a prosecution for harassment under the 1861 offences against the person act. Seems pretty clear this death threat was issued alongside the lies, copied below, which were published on their blog by London based UK JDL in November 2012. Firstly Tony Gosling is not a ‘homophobe’. That accusation was first made in an article published by the ‘Harry’s Place’ blog, penned by Zionist David Toube and propelled by him anonymously into Private Eye in 2008. It refers to Gosling’s criticism of senior teachers at Bannerman Road Primary school in Bristol who used homosexual early learning picture books against the express wishes of the parent governors. His criticism was about the deception by teaching staff not because of the homosexual content of the books. Secondly, if you follow the JDL link you’ll find what Tony Gosling actually says about the ‘Protocols Of The Learned Elders Of Zion’ says “…I don’t think there is much doubt that the Protocols are fake…” Thirdly he is not a member of Bristol Palestine Solidarity Campaign and has never been to any of their meetings.
Autumn 2014 – Tony’s documentary production and distribution business shut down by its bank. Our thriving Co-op business bank account ordered closed for undisclosed reasons. Tony Gosling and Ben Edwards founded i-Contact Video Network to distribute documentaries on VHS video and DVD and to make their own documentaries as well as attend news events and sell video footage to TV news channels. Amongst the films we distributed were Operation Solstice, Coconut Revolution, Mark Purdey and Organophosphates, McLibel, 9/11 In Plane Site, Ludicrous Diversion and The Battle of Trafalgar. These, plus books, and even a board game about drug dealing ‘Dollars and Dibble’, were all available via mail order and we supplied libraries around the world too. The bank had clearly been ordered to investigate us for money laundering, although they never admitted it. All the questions they asked Ben and I were about proving our identity through passports etc.. When we did, yet more letters kept arriving demanding more proofs, birth certificates etc. and eventually when one of us missed supplying the required information, within a week or so of being asked, the account was summarily closed and we got a cheque made out to one of us with the few hundred pounds that was in the business bank account. Since neither of us could get a business bank account up and running for at least a few months and the bank account meant nobody could any longer use the website, we made the reluctant decision to shut it down. Thus was a thriving business killed off by the Co_operative bank. Having said that, co-op were not quite the worst. We did apply to open an account at Bristol’s ‘ethical’ Triodos bank, who proceeded to string us along for several months and then said our business was too risky for them to provide an account!
