Part One – Local and National News Review

Joe Banks, investigative journalist, joins Tony and Martin. Bristol City Council Corruption Investigation 4of4: new article Who is Bristol’s Chief Planner Working For? See Joe’s  Substack, Temple Scenes. He forensically looks in to the failures of the modern planning systems – particularly in Bristol. Who is Bristol’s Chief Planner working for? As Simone Wilding warns councillors not to challenge major developments, a look at her LinkedIn activity reveals the close relationships she’s been cultivating with the city’s developers and lobbyists It had seemed that the developers wanting to build the tallest ever building in south Bristol were going to have to go back to the drawing board. In January this year, a planning committee of councillors refused a proposal for a 23-storey block of student flats in the Victorian inner-urban district of Bedminster, still largely characterised by low-rise residential terraces and light industrial uses. Members had voted 5-3 against the scheme – a high-density mix of 400 Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA) units, 434 Build-to-Rent flats and commercial floorspace. As the council’s procedure dictates, officers were instructed to come back to the following meeting with written-up reasons for refusal. The councillors had refused the planning application on the grounds of over-intensive development and harm to the skyline, including the setting of the Grade 1 listed heritage asset St Mary Redcliffe church. There was also the issue of poor design: 55% of rooms do not meet the British Research Establishment’s guidance for sunlight and more than half the proposed units are single-aspect. Other concerns included the over-concentration of student accommodation in the area and a letter from the NHS warning that local GP practices were already operating at or near capacity and would be “unlikely to be able to accommodate the increased demand arising from this development.” But what came back to the following meeting was an officer report that told the committee that they couldn’t, in fact, refuse – not without the developer taking the council to the Planning Inspectorate for an appeal that would be certain to succeed. And the council’s Chief Planner, Simone Wilding, raised the stakes further in the meeting by saying that the council would be likely to lose around £750,000 in appeal costs, plus a further £250,000 through the expense of defending the case. To illustrate the Planning Inspectorate’s supposed willingness to overturn refusals based on over-densification, the attention of councillors was repeatedly drawn to a development in Brighton that had a refusal overturned at appeal last year. In the initial committee meeting, when Wilding brought up ‘Brighton Gasworks’ – a mixed-use residential scheme with buildings ranging from 3 to 12 storeys – she made the false claim that it was “a much higher density” than the proposal before them. In reality, the reverse is true: Brighton Gasworks is 245 dwellings per hectare (dph); Princess Street is 384 dph if you don’t include the student tower, 427 dph if you do. Both Princess Street levels exceed the threshold identified in London planning debates as ‘hyperdensity’. Nevertheless, the Chief Planner went on to tell the committee categorically: “We haven’t got a policy on density on which we could refuse this.”…

10Feb24 – Joe Banks 1of4: Planning Corruption at the Heart of Bristol: The Story of St Mary Le Port Castle Park with Joe Banks

Starmer clinging on. Starmer’s speech about why he’s not going. Bond markets complaining this week. Why politicians are at behest to bond markets. Financial crash. Kemi Badenoch reply to King’s Speech – Labour no plan just promises. UK borrowing costs rise as Starmer speech fails to dispel investor ‘jitters’ Bond yields creep higher on concerns about potential for political instability and rising inflation The cost of government borrowing has crept higher as Keir Starmer’s crucial speech failed to dispel investor “jitters” in the bond markets over political instability combined with fears of rising inflation. The yield, effectively the interest rate, on the benchmark 10-year UK government bonds (known as gilts) rose eight basis points (or 0.08 of a percentage point) to 5% on Monday. The yield on 30-year gilts rose 9.3 basis points to 5.67%, edging closer to the 28-year high of 5.78% last week when uncertainty about Starmer’s future as prime minister was intensifying. In his speech, Starmer said he would fight any leadership challenge and would not walk away from his responsibilities after Labour’s drubbing in local elections in England and parliamentary contests in Scotland and Wales last week. Borrowing costs fell on Friday as the results of the elections emerged with signs that Labour had not suffered as badly as first feared. Those falls, however, were more than erased by Monday’s rises. Susannah Streeter, the chief investment strategist at Wealth Club, a non-advisory investment service, said the speech had not “done the trick of calming bond markets”. “There is still a sense of jitters playing out as concerns about political instability collide with inflationary fears prompted by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East,” she said. Bond yields move in the opposite direction to bond prices because investors want to pay less and get a bigger reward for the risk of holding them. Higher yields increase the cost of borrowing for the government and eat away at the headroom that the chancellor, Rachel Reeves, has built up against her fiscal rules. Investors, however, are becoming increasingly worried that the risk of rising inflation as a result of soaring energy prices linked to the Iran war, alongside in-fighting among Labour MPs over Starmer’s future, will lead to a downgrade in the UK’s creditworthiness. Part of the worry is that if Starmer is forced out of Downing Street, his possible replacements may seek to increase public spending and loosen the government’s fiscal rules. Two potential frontrunners to succeed him, Angela Rayner and Andy Burnham, have hinted that they would like to see higher public spending.

Anti Semitism rally in London. King meets Chief Rabbi in Golder’s Green. Burning of ambulances false flag. Annie Machon took her off event because 9/11 conspiracy theories. A HISTORY OF ISRAELI FALSE FLAGS AGAINST THE USA Two Israeli Embassy staff were fatally shot at close range while leaving an event Wednesday night at the Capital Jewish Museum in D.C., the embassy’s spokesperson in Washington, Tal Naim Cohen, told Axios. The Israelis have a long history of using false-flag terrorism against the United States: 1954 JUL – The Lavon Affair: Israeli agents place bombs in U.S. and British libraries and institutions in Egypt in a false-flag operation meant to be blamed on the Muslim Brotherhood. 1967 JUN – Israeli aircraft and ships attack the defenseless USS Liberty, killing 34 and wounding 171, with the intention of sinking the ship – with no survivors – so that the blame could be assigned to Egypt. 1983 OCT – A truck bomb kills 241 Marines in their barracks in Beirut. Former Mossad agent Victor Ostrovsky says Mossad knew the details of the truck, the time, and location of the bombing, but only gave a general warning to the Americans. A nebulous “Islamic Jihad” group is blamed; Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger says U.S. has no knowledge who really did the bombing. This occurred one month after a single Marine stopped an Israeli tank column – some former Marines believe Israel organized the attack. 1979 JUL – Netanyahu Institute hosts conference on terrorism calling for U.S. military intervention in Middle East. 1979 – Isser Harel, founding chief of Israeli intelligence, predicts 9/11 attacks in New York City. 1982 FEB– Israeli Likud strategist Oded Yinon plan calls for the “dissolution of Syria and Iraq” and Balkanization of all Arab states. 1987 – Two of Isser Harel’s senior Mossad agents, Avraham Shalom Bendorand Zvi Malkin, get the security contract for World Trade Center; Port Authority cancels the contract when their criminal history is discovered. 1993 FEB – Zionists manage prosecution of WTC bombing: Israeli-American Michael Chertoff, U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, plays key role in prosecution. Zionist Judge Michael Mukasey presides over case against “Blind Sheikh.” FBI informant Emad Salem is paid one million dollars for his testimony. Media leads public to believe that Muslims want to destroy the Twin Towers. 1993 – After first WTC bombing Kroll Associates gets security contract for the Port Authority and the WTC. 1994 – After losing Saudi and Pakistani support, the Israeli-trained “remainder of Hezb-i-Islami merges into al-Qaeda and the Taliban.” 2001 – Israeli Mossad company ICTS controls security screening at U.S. Airports on 9/11. Directors include Yair Shamir, son of notorious Israeli terrorist Yitzhak Shamir. 2001 SEP 11 – Ehud Olmert, Israel’s deputy prime minister, is on an unreported visit in New York City. Why is it secret? While all civilian planes are grounded, at 4:11 p.m. an El Al Boeing 747 takes off from JFK bound for Tel Aviv. The flight is authorized by the direct intervention of the U.S. Department of Defense. Post 9/11 – Zionist with conflict of interest presides over 9/11 lawsuit: Judge Alvin Hellerstein manages 9-11 tort litigation, while his son is lawyer in Israel with firm that represents ICTS, key defendant in 9/11 litigation. Hellerstein dismisses ICTS and every 9/11 case is settled out of court.

Ben Trowell joins Tony and Martin. He went on the recent Gaza flotilla and was detained and tortured – he explains his story. Israel extends detention of ‘tortured’ Gaza flotilla activists Saif Abu Keshek and Thiago Avila of the Global Sumud Flotilla were both mistreated in Israeli detention An Israeli court has extended by two days the detention of two activists arrested aboard a Gaza-bound flotilla intercepted by Israeli forces in international waters, their lawyer said on Sunday. Saif Abu Keshek, a Spanish-Swedish national of Palestinian origin, and Thiago Avila, a Brazilian national, were detained by Israeli authorities late on Wednesday and brought to Israel, while more than 100 other pro-Palestine activists aboard the Global Sumud flotilla were taken to the Greek island of Crete. According to the Brazilian embassy, Avila said he had been subjected to torture, beatings and mistreatment in Israeli detention. During a monitored visit in which he was separated by glass and unable to communicate freely, embassy officials observed visible marks on his face. He also reported significant pain, particularly in his shoulder. Abu Keshek was “subjected to torture and severe abuse while detained aboard the military vessel prior to transfer”, the Global Sumud flotilla said, citing eyewitness testimony. An Israeli court spokesperson confirmed that the activists’ remand had been extended until 5 May. The governments of Spain and Brazil issued a joint statement on Friday calling their detention illegal. The second Global Sumud Flotilla set sail from Barcelona on 12 April in an attempt to break Israel’s blockade of Gaza by delivering humanitarian aid. Israeli authorities had initially requested a four-day extension of the activists’ detention on suspicion of a range of offences. The legal rights group Adalah, which is representing them, said the offences include assisting the enemy during wartime, contact with a foreign agent, membership in and providing services to a terrorist organisation, and the transfer of property for a terrorist organisation. Both men deny the allegations. Adalah solicitors Hadeel Abu Salih and Lubna Tuma argued before the court that the proceedings against the activists were “flawed and illegal”, stating that there is no legal basis for the “extraterritorial application of these offences to the actions of foreign nationals in international waters”. Abu Salih added that both men were subjected to violence en route to Israel and were kept handcuffed and blindfolded until Thursday morning. The Israeli military did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Reuters. Israel’s foreign ministry has called the flotilla organisers “professional provocateurs”….

DDN Richard Sanders – sexual violence against Palestinian prisoners by Israelis. This report details widespread patterns of sexual violence against detainees in the Gaza Strip, serving as a tool to break both individual and collective will and inflict serious physical and psychological harm. The documented practices involved direct sexual assault, assaults with instruments, and torture focused on the genitals. They also included organised displays like filming and the collective presence of security personnel during the assaults, which strengthens the evidence of these crimes being institutional and systematic. These violations are compounded by detention policies that result in serious and long-lasting physical and psychological harm, including injuries that cause permanent disability and impacts on the reproductive health of certain victims. The risks extend beyond the occurrence of violations to the mechanisms that enable and obscure them, with evidence pointing to medical facilitation or cover-ups in some cases, undermining professional ethics and violating the safeguards imposed by international law for the protection of detainees. In a troubling parallel, the report uncovers the Israeli medical system’s role in militarising medicine, with certain medical personnel shifting from caregivers to facilitators of torture’s legitimisation and continuation. This extends beyond denying life-saving treatment or participation in painful medical procedures without adequate anaesthesia or pain relief. It also includes issuing certificates of “fit for interrogation,” hiding torture injuries in medical records, and forcing detainees to cooperate with interrogators to get treatment. This pattern is further supported by documentation practices that obscure the perpetrator’s identity and hide doctors’ details, making it difficult to trace, preserve evidence, and hold individuals accountable. With the scale of violations growing, the report shows that the Israeli justice system has not functioned as an effective mechanism for accountability. Rather, it has been historically and systematically employed to entrench impunity for crimes committed against Palestinians, effectively making the judiciary the first line of defence for Israeli violations and their perpetrators. Nevertheless, this structural failure is especially clear in the detention and prison system, where judicial and oversight mechanisms often serve as a procedural cover that undermines independent oversight, normalises torture, and grants investigators and system administrators practical immunity. In this context, the incidents at Sde Teiman exemplify this pattern. The Israeli judicial system’s response extended beyond obstructing accountability. It showed signs of undermining evidence by restricting victims, as complainants and witnesses, from participating in proceedings and reclassifying serious incidents as minor offences or misdemeanours, ultimately culminating in the dismissal of charges in one of the most serious documented cases, despite their reliance on substantial medical and visual evidence. These facts collectively indicate an institutional reluctance to ensure effective accountability, thereby triggering the admissibility criteria and bolstering the International Criminal Court’s jurisdiction to investigate these crimes and prosecute perpetrators across the entire chain of command.

Chris Williamson, of Palestine Declassified on Press TV, on how they’ve lost their studio after threats from Home Office – present situation with Starmer – economy – Palestinian march in London – George Galloway. Politicians and media commentators often talk about government borrowing, but that is a misnomer. A more appropriate description would be to refer to it as corporate welfare, whereby the government offers corporations and super rich individuals risk free investment opportunities in government bonds. Pension funds often hold government bonds as part of their overall portfolio, but the truth is government borrowing makes little economic sense. Furthermore, a government that only borrows (issues bonds) in its own currency cannot ever default on its own debt because it can always issue an instruction to the Bank of England to settle the debt whenever anyone wants to redeem it. This enables governments, with the political will, to face down the financial markets. Although the primary purpose of taxation is to control inflation, its social purposes are also essential. It can be used to create the space for public spending priorities when the economy is at or near full capacity. Otherwise, inflation would be created because the public and private sectors would be chasing scarce resources. Taxation can also be used to address income and wealth inequality and incentivise or penalise certain activities like promoting healthy lifestyles by taxing smoking and reducing taxes on low emission vehicles etc. Tax is a reflection of society’s values and is the primary mechanism that governments have for reinforcing those values. So, to summarise: The government can and does create money. Government debt is just a means for saving private wealth. Deficits are not a problem, as long as they’re not overheating the economy, but taxation can be used to stop the economy over-heating. Governments cannot create money without limit. The key is ensuring public spending is matched to the availability of real resources in the economy.

Gaza flotilla. Israel – racism and hatred – dehumanising people. Gaza Flotilla Activists Report Sexual Violence, Abuse after Israeli Interception Organisers said detained activists reported sexual abuse, violence, and degrading treatment after Israeli forces intercepted the Gaza-bound flotilla. The Global Sumud Flotilla accused Israeli occupation forces of sexual assault and abuse against detained activists. Organizers said testimonies indicate systematic physical violence and degrading treatment. Two activists, Saif Abukeshek and Thiago Avila, remain in Israeli detention. Activists Report Sexual Abuse, Violence The Global Sumud Flotilla accused Israeli occupation forces on Thursday of carrying out acts of sexual assault, physical violence, and degrading treatment against activists aboard a Gaza-bound humanitarian mission intercepted in international waters. In a statement released by the coalition, organizers said preliminary testimonies from detained crew members and civilian participants point to what they described as “a pattern of severe physical and sexual violence and systematic degradation perpetrated against civilian participants.” According to the coalition, the testimonies were gathered directly from activists detained after Israeli forces seized the flotilla vessels. Organizers said the abuses form part of a broader effort aimed at intimidating international solidarity initiatives attempting to break the blockade imposed on the Gaza Strip. The flotilla departed from Barcelona on April 15 carrying humanitarian supplies intended for Gaza, where Palestinians continue to face catastrophic humanitarian conditions amid ongoing Israeli attacks and blockade measures. On April 29, activists aboard the vessels reported that Israeli naval forces intercepted the mission near the Greek island of Crete. According to flotilla organizers, Israeli forces seized the ships, damaged engines and navigation systems, and later withdrew from the area. The coalition argued the interception took place in international waters and therefore constituted a violation of international maritime law, particularly given the civilian and humanitarian nature of the mission.

Trump – China talks. Chinese tankers let through Strait of Hormuz. Chinese-linked ships cross Strait of Hormuz on eve of Trump-Xi meeting Chinese supertanker carrying two million barrels of Iraqi crude crossed the waterway before turning off its transponder Multiple ships linked to China transited the Strait of Hormuz in the last 24 hours, coinciding with US President Donald Trump’s arrival in Beijing, where he says he plans to discuss the war on Iran with his Chinese counterpart. The most watched vessel is a Chinese supertanker carrying two million barrels of Iraqi crude. It sailed through the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday before turning off its transponder somewhere in the Gulf of Oman, according to ship tracking data. Iran has tried to assert its authority over the Strait of Hormuz by imposing a toll on vessels, while the US has imposed its own blockade on ships linked to Iran or those that agree to pay Tehran for the right of transit. A day earlier, six other Chinese-linked vessels crossed the Strait of Hormuz, including five oil tankers and one known to carry Liquefied Petroleum Gas, according to open-source intelligence analysts citing maritime tracking data. It’s unclear whether the Chinese-linked vessels paid any toll to Iran, but Tehran previously accepted Chinese yuan as payment. Trump arrived in Beijing on Wednesday. He will start his two-day visit on Thursday, meeting his counterpart, Xi Jinping. Business and trade deals are at the top of the agenda for the leaders of the world’s two largest economies, but Iran will loom large in the background. Trump told reporters before leaving for Beijing that “we’re going to have a long talk about [Iran]”, even as he insisted that he did not need Beijing’s help to strike a deal with the Islamic Republic. “We have a lot of things to discuss. I wouldn’t say Iran is one of them, to be honest with you, because we have Iran very much under control,” he added. China is the US’s only peer rival. The two are locked in competition over artificial intelligence, critical minerals and Taiwan. The US’s failure to subdue Iran has been welcomed in China, and the emerging power has not just been sitting idle on the sidelines. Middle East Eye was the first to report that China provided air defence systems to Iran following its June 2025 conflict with Israel that culminated in the US attacking Iranian nuclear facilities. The Financial Times reported that Iran used a sophisticated Chinese satellite to target US military bases in the Gulf. But experts told MEE that Beijing would like to see a resolution to the conflict and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz…

Judge Napolitano – Scott Ritter – Russia will hit US drone factories INSIDE Europe. The Russians have built a um a Shahed factory outside of uh Kazan. Uh that Shahed is the Shahed 136 the you know the triangular shaped delta drone that’s ubiquous ubiquitous. I shouldn’t use big words when I can’t say [laughter] my brain was saying it. My mouth was stumbling. But, you know, it’s an it’s it’s used a lot. There’s [clears throat] that’s how Marine speaks. They use a lot of them. Um, so, you know, they the production capacity of that a couple years ago was 1,000 a day. Uh, the the maximum usage of the of the drones up until that time, the Russians were using 250 300 a day. That means that Russia was stockpiling 750 700 of these a day. A day. Um, now the size of that facility has tripled and they’re producing not just 136s, but they’re building um they’re building, you know, new jet versions. The the Giron is what’s called the Geranium. Uh they have the Geranium 2, 3, 4, 5, six. Now the six, which is a just basically like a V2 looking uh rocket. Um and the Russians are just pumping these things out. Um they’re stockpiling them. The Russians just showed the other day that they can saturate Ukraine’s airspace. 1,500 launched in a day. Uh they can expand that launch capacity. Um they can darken the skies of Europe and Europe has no air defense. I’ll just say that one more time. Europe has no air defense. There’s no air defense in Europe today. The Germans know this. Uh they said, “What can we do to stop the a Russian attack on uh Germany?” The answer is nothing. There’s nothing you can do because you have nothing. you literally have no air defense capacity. Russia can darken the skies of Europe with drones. Um, again, if they want to put 3,000 drones over uh Europe a day, um, you know, and I just told you what their their capacity, they’ve been they’ve been, you know, bankrolling 700 a day. So, in 10 days, that’s 7,000. Uh, in a month that’s 21,000. It’s now been a couple years. So, the Russians will be able to sustain a 3,000 drone a day attack against a continent that can’t defend itself for several months, meaning they will literally flatten everything. There’s nothing Europe can do. Now, we bring we bring to bear the fact that the archnik and other long range missiles because the United States in our stupidity have withdrawn from the INF treaty and now the Russians have had to take action.

Low Key – Tommy Robinson and Zionism. For Bravemen and Tommy and many of these leaders/s so-called patriots, this isn’t about uniting the kingdom to protect the realm. This is about uniting the kingdom to defend Israel. ‘I very strongly rebut suggestions that Israel’s in breach of international law, that there’s a a genocide, that there’s a force starvation. Quite the contrary.’ In late 2023, Suela Braverman, the home secretary at the time, referred to Palestine marches in London as hate marches. To my mind, there’s only one way to describe those marches. They are hate marches. Suella Braverman went as far as explicitly stated Mark Rowley must go. It’s important to note that Suela Braverman has family members currently serving in the Israeli military alongside her Israeli husband Ra Braverman. Braverman has now smoothly sideststepped into the government of tomorrow reform UK. Suela Braverman had a key silent ally in their bid to oust Rowley, none other than Tommy Robinson. In June 2024, Tommy Robinson held a rally specifically for the purpose of bringing down Mark Rowley. We’re about to start the march. Thousands and thousands have traveled here from across the country. We’re going to go send a message to the establishment and the police. Cut the head off the snake. You’ve betrayed our country. You’ve oppressed our people. You’ve treated us like pieces of [ __ ] We want peace and we will make it. A pinser movement was forming. On one side, there was within the institutions of government from figures like Braverman the calls for Mark Rowley to resign and then on the other side by street protesters like Tommy Robinson. Ultimately, these people were part of an Israel lobby push to achieve the objective. Either Rowley gets tough on pro Palestine demonstrations or he stands down. That was the choice which was given. It seems he has chosen the former. At the beginning of this campaign, Mark Rowley seemed to defend himself. He called the calls for him to resign illogical and illinformed. However, as things developed, it became clear that Rowley was the subject of strategic engagement by key elements of the Israeli security services. He gave a speech at the Israeli intelligence think tank, the Institute for National Security Studies. Leaked emails have exposed that the INSS runs counter influence projects with the Israeli internal intelligence agency the Shinbet and the Israeli external intelligence agency Mossad and with the military intelligence Aman. The current head of the INSS is none other than Tame Hayman. He is the former chief of Israeli military intelligence Aman. The previous leadership of the INSS is Amos Yaoing who was also formerly the chief of the military intelligence. Many of the researchers at the INSS were formerly employed by Mossad, the Shinbet and the Aman. And while of course the INSS claims that it is independent, it has received funding from the Israeli Ministry of Defense and the National Cyber Directorate in the Israeli government. In fact, the INSS goes so far as regularly submitting strategic analysis for the Israeli president.

Zelensky on cocaine. Zelensky’s Press Secretary Reveals All: Cocaine, Cover-ups, and the Only Obstacle Preventing Peace The Tucker Carlson Show – Corruption, drugs and greed: Volodymyr Zelensky’s long time press secretary on the secret world of the West’s favourite dictator.  Tucker Carlson sits down with Iuliia Mendel, former press secretary to Volodymyr Zelensky, for a revealing conversation about Ukraine, power, corruption, image-making, political leadership, and what Mendel says she witnessed behind closed doors. This discussion explores the public image of Zelensky versus the private realities of wartime leadership, reform failures, money, political vanity, media narratives, and the deeper questions surrounding Ukraine’s government during the Russia-Ukraine war. to be clear I believe that he stands behind many schemes of money laundering and one of the stories is that I have a friend who was shortlisted for the position of the ministry of social policies during the large-scale invasion and uh he was called and he said that he was one of five candidates and he would be interviewed by Zalansky and Mr. year mark then chief of staff of president Zalinski and uh he was told that during the interview he would need to come up with the schemes of money laundery so that they are financed from the ministry of social policy and ministry of social policy is the ministry that is responsible for pensions. So when we are talking about those poor pensioners, you know, and knowing the fact that Zalanski himself approves the schemes of money laundering, I mean, is he guilty? I want your audience to respondse to that. Okay. Do you understand the desperacy of mine? I think most people watching assume that Ukraine is corrupt and has been for a long time and that the Zilinski regime is especially corrupt. I think Americans believe that, but there’s almost no evidence that has come out in the American press. The American media has not written very much about his corruption. Why do you think that is? Uh, you know, I saw good pieces uh about corruption, but you’re right that there are not too many of them. It’s very hard first of all to prove it, but I think there was also some kind of agreement, not official one, right? unofficial agreement that we all need to support Zalinski because this means to support Ukraine. We’re all united, you know, to to support Ukraine. But Zalinski abused this unity. He abused our belief in democracy. He abused our fight. He abused our sacrifice, Ukrainian sacrifice and what the Europeans and Americans were doing for us. He abused actually the trust of so many people. I believe that you know millions who still support Zalinski they were you know looking for some great guy in politics. They wanted to believe that there is someone you know Churchill or whatever historic guy who would really do something good for the people and is amazing actor. He’s going to give you what you want. Exactly. And that’s that’s what’s happening. He still plays on camera this great guy. But believe me, behind the camera, he’s very different…

Philippines – US arrest Ronald Dela Rose in Senate. Thousands of drug users were also shot in slumland murders blamed on vigilantes or turf wars. Police say those killed during operations had resisted arrest and reject allegations of systematic murders and cover-ups. Gunshots ring out at Philippine Senate where lawmaker is holed up Ronald dela Rosa, police chief under ex-President Rodrigo Duterte, faces an ICC arrest warrant. More than a dozen gunshots rang out at the Philippine Senate as police and marines moved in to arrest a senator wanted by the International Criminal Court for alleged crimes against humanity. Al Jazeera’s Jamela Alindogan said journalists ran for cover as gunfire erupted on Wednesday evening minutes after soldiers with rifles and protective gear went up the stairs of the legislative building. Philippine Senator Ronald dela Rosa had earlier said he was anticipating his arrest, urging people to come to the legislature to prevent him from being detained and sent to the ICC. “I am appealing to you. I hope you can help me. Do not allow another Filipino to be brought to The Hague,” dela Rosa said in a video posted on Facebook on Wednesday. Philippine law enforcement agents were earlier gathering outside the Senate building, Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Mao Aplasca said after dela Rosa’s message. Former police chief dela Rosa, who was the top enforcer of ex-President Rodrigo Duterte’s so-called “war on drugs”, urged President Ferdinand Marcos Jr on Tuesday not to hand him over to the ICC, adding that he was ready to face justice at home. Fearing arrest and hunkered down in his legislative office, dela Rosa said he had faithfully served his country. The ICC unsealed an arrest warrant on Monday for dela Rosa, dated November, on suspicion of crimes against humanity, the same crimes 81-year-old Duterte is accused of as he awaits trial in The Hague following his arrest last year. Dela Rosa, better known as “Bato”, meaning “rock”, has been under the protective custody of the Senate since law enforcement agents entered the building on Monday, when he reappeared in public for the first time since November. He has denied involvement in illegal killings. “I hope that, as the father of the nation, you will take care of all Filipinos. That is the role of government, to care for its people,” dela Rosa told reporters when asked what his message was to President Marcos. “I did everything for the country. I did not enrich myself. I worked faithfully,” he said, his eyes welling with tears. “Mr President, [you] may one day face a situation like this. You may also encounter problems, and then you will understand, you will feel what I am feeling right now.” Dela Rosa was Duterte’s top lieutenant and oversaw a fierce crackdown during which police say more than 6,000 suspected drug dealers were killed in official operations. Alindogan said “Duterte’s allies believe they are above accountability, they do not recognise the sovereignty of international law and refuse accusations against them”. Al Jazeera’s correspondent added that while violent incidents are not unusual in Manila, it was unusual for confrontations to erupt in halls of justice “where there’s supposed to be some sort of civility”. Thousands of drug users were also shot in slumland murders blamed on vigilantes or turf wars. Police say those killed during operations had resisted arrest and reject allegations of systematic murders and cover-ups. The “war on drugs” was the key platform that swept Duterte to power in 2016 as a tough-talking mayor who, during televised public speeches, promised to kill thousands of drug dealers while repeatedly daring the ICC to come after him.

RT – social wellbeing world ranking. What the Social Well-Being Index measures The Social Well-Being Index is a tool for measuring and comparing the well-being of historically established human communities: localities, peoples, and nations. In defining human well-being and measuring it, we imply the following fundamental principles. The highest good for any person is life itself. This fact is universally acknowledged by all religions, civilizations, and cultures. Thus, human well-being as such first of all supposes procreation, or the production of new life. Consequently, any indicators of human development that fail to consider this aspect cannot accurately assess human well-being. While the production of offspring is an essential part of human well-being, it is not sufficient in itself. Human existence from birth until death inevitably involves suffering. If life itself is the supreme good, then other things that ensure well-being are essentially means of alleviating suffering. Therefore, human well-being implies not only producing new life, but also organizing life in such a way as to help alleviate suffering. What does this mean? To reduce human suffering means to minimize life threatening situations and eliminate extreme forms of human oppression. It is important to emphasize that procreation and the organization of human life are socially conditioned, which leads us back to Aristotle’s classical definition of humans as social beings. Consequently, human well-being can only be understood in social terms. When the concepts of “social well-being” and “human well-being” are not synonymous, the former serves as a broader category that characterizes humanity as Homo sapiens existing within historically and geographically defined societies. The methodology of the Social Well-Being Index can be summarized in the following key points: The production of offspring – Biologically, viability is a vital condition for the sustainable development of human communities, and this is ensured by the reproduction of the population. The key indicator of this is the Total Fertility Rate (TFR), which must be at least 2.1 to avoid depopulation. For communities that do not face a danger of overpopulation or a depletion of resources, an optimal TFR is around 3.0. This figure indicates balanced population growth, with the next generation one and a half times larger than the previous one. A stable economy can support overall prosperity at such a demographic growth rate. A TFR above 4.0 is currently typical for the poorest countries of Africa, where economic growth cannot keep up with demographic expansion. For Russia, given its demographic, geo-economic, and geopolitical realities, a TFR of 3.0 indicates sustainable development, whereas a TFR of 2.1 or lower poses an existential threat. A TFR index below 2.1 not only signals a declining population but also shows that the idea of the family unit – which naturally produces new life and serves as the fundamental structure of society which teaches the basics of moral social behavior – is in danger. Therefore, the preservation of the family is essential for the reproduction of human society – both in terms of population and civilization. An important indicator of the condition of the family structure in society is the ratio of households comprised of couples with children.

Matt Ehret, Rising Tide Foundation and Canadian Patriots Network on the occult secret societies swirling around the Chinese leadership – Born in the Witches’ Cauldron: Bilderberg, Hitler’s Treasurer & Today’s NATO Political Selection Gp. Canadian Patriots Network – Matt Ehret – Tony talking about his book. Patricia poem.  We all know about Operation Paperclip which brought Nazi scientists to the USA at the end of WWII. But what about the British establishment’s deals with the Nazis, for a financial fourth reich, at the end of the war? Guest lecturer, English historian and investigative journalist Tony Gosling howcases a side of World War two and the later Cold War that you never imagined. Tony’s recent book ‘The Traitors of Arnhem’ features explosive proof that the infamous September 1944 Battle of Arnhem (made into the film ‘A Bridge too Far’), Operation Market Garden was thrown deliberately by senior British commanders, in order to buy the Nazis time to complete financial deals with the Allies that had been in train at least since the previous month. In his book, and in his upcoming RTF class, Tony traces out the cover-up of the subsequent snatching by Royal Navy and Jewish commandos in the last days of the war, of British agent and Adolf Hitler’s private secretary Martin Bormann, alongside other Allied/Nazi deals too, such as the smuggling by submarine of enriched Uranium from the Nazi stores to be incorporated into the Manhattan Project. This evidence only emerged in the final decade of the twentieth century Rob, Marco and Tony’s presentation in September 2018 in Oosterbeek near Arnhem The Traitors Of Arnhem?

NOT The BCfm Politics Show CANCELLED and attempts to intimidate us

July 2024 – Tony, Dave and Martin’s NOT The BCfm Politics show was CANCELLED/EVICTED in a no fault, no notice, no appeal, eviction by The People’s Republic of Stokes Croft (PRSC) arts centre – An email from Chloe Slater and Keith Cowling explained that: ‘Transphobic’ leaflets had been left in the building by a recent guest (who denied it) making Transsexual users of the building feel ‘offended’ and ‘unsafe’. To quote: ‘Please let us know when you or Dave would like to come and retrieve your equipment and drop off your keys. Kind regards’ PRSC Directors (Keith Cowling, chair) PRSC / Stokes Croft China 17-35 Jamaica St Bristol BS2 8JP. Chloe Slater (formerly Jez and self-defined as ‘she’) also made it difficult for us to retrieve the last of our equipment by inferring we couldn’t be trusted, we were made to wait outside their building for over 30 minutes to return their mixing desk in December 2024.

March 2020 – BCfm’s weekly Politics Show presented by Tony Gosling with Irish Republican Labour activist Martin Summers was forced off FM, now online only by station manager Pat Hart. He decided the show should be ‘rested, due to the pandemic’ on 24 March 2020 and then refused to communicate at all when we requested to do the show remotely. Bristol Community FM (BCfm) charity ‘CEO’ Patrick Hart is a longtime personal friend of Bristol’s all-powerful right-wing ‘Labour’ mayor Marvin Rees. Now on Internet only NOT The BCfm Politics Show is available 17:00-c. 21:00 live on Fridays. Pat Hart replaced us with an inane student show repeating MSM stories called The Bristol Agenda. If you’d like to share your views on his deliberate dumbing-down and pro-Covid jab mismanagement you can contact UK broadcasting regulator Ofcom or BCfm board chair and the ‘Don’ himself, here.

February 2019 – Ofcom complaint result: UKLFI exposed as creation of Israeli foreign ministryBristol 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!

Part One – Local and National News Review

Donald Mack joins Tony and Martin. Results so far from local, Welsh and Scottish elections. Reform gets by far the most Councillors. Elections: Analysis in maps and charts, and find out the result from your seat Over 5,000 seats were up for election across 136 councils in England. Find out the result from your seat with our new tool. Labour have lost more than 1,200 English council seats and Reform have made massive gains for the second year running. In Wales, Plaid Cymru held off Reform to become the largest party in the Senedd for the first time. The SNP lost votes in Scotland but remain the largest party. Both parties will need to work with others to hold a majority, however. Sky News’ National Equivalent Vote (NEV) is an estimate of each party’s vote share in England council elections projected into a nationwide vote. Reform lead on 27% of the vote, with the Conservatives in second with 20%. 2026 National Equivalent Vote Image: 2026 National Equivalent Vote That is an improvement for the Tories compared with last year’s local elections, while Reform have slid backwards slightly. Labour are in third, with just three points separating them from both the Greens and the Lib Dems. Across English local elections, Reform have gained over 1,300 council seats and 13 councils, mostly at the expense of Labour who are down over 1,200 seats and have lost more than 30 councils. For the first time, Sky is able to bring you the results from your specific seat. Search for your postcode below, or click or tap around the map to explore detailed results: The Conservatives have also suffered heavy losses, and have lost nearly 500 seats and eight councils. The Lib Dems have gained almost 800 seats and 13 councils, while the Greens have gained more than 300 seats and four councils. Sky’s election expert Professor Michael Thrasher has projected a redistribution of each party’s seats in the House of Commons elected in July 2024, based on the NEV. The result is a hung parliament with no single party able to pass the threshold of 326 seats required for an overall majority, but with Reform as the largest party. House of Commons projection based on 2026 National Equivalent Vote Image: House of Commons projection based on 2026 National Equivalent Vote Reform UK would win 284 seats, 42 seats short of a majority. Labour would win 110 seats compared to 96 seats for the Conservatives, despite winning a smaller vote share. The Liberal Democrats would come fourth with 80 seats, followed by the SNP winning 36 seats. Plaid Cymru and the Greens are each projected to win 13 seats. More than 40 councils have changed hands in what was a dramatic and historic election night. The British election map has been re-drawn again, and the multi-party politics era will leave many councils attempting to operate with complex coalitions or minority administrations.

Scotland and Welsh devolved elections Elections for devolved parliaments in Scotland and Wales delivered significant blows for Labour and the Conservatives, while nationalist parties and Reform performed well. The Senedd elections in Wales were dominated by Plaid Cymru and Reform, both of whom have taken approximately a third of the vote each and seen significant gains. These gains have largely been at the cost of Labour and the Conservatives, who have both seen lowest-ever vote shares in the Senedd – with Labour ending up at just 11.5%, down 24 points from the last elections in 2021, and the Conservatives at 11%. Eluned Morgan, leader of the Welsh Labour Party, resigned on Friday after losing her own seat in the Senedd. Turnout in Wales this year was the highest on record since Senedd elections began in 1999, at 51.6%, and the first time that more than half of the electorate turned up to vote. By contrast, turnout in Scotland dropped significantly since 2021 – down 10% to 53% – but is more in line with pre-2016 levels. Holyrood’s electoral system gives people two votes: one for a specific candidate to be a constituency member of Scottish Parliament (MSP), and another regional vote, which goes towards a wider party or independent candidate. The SNP remained the largest party with 58 seats, with one regional MSP and the rest constituency-based. But the party fell short of a majority, and its their constituency vote share was down 9.2% from the last elections in 2021. As in England and Wales, Nigel Farage’s Reform UK has seen the biggest jump in vote share, to 15.8%, making it the third largest party in vote share and tying with Labour for 17 seats. It failed to gain any constituency seats but won the highest number of regional seats. Though Labour’s performance (19.2%) may be poor for a party which once ruled Holyrood, its drop in vote share since 2021 is minimal (-2.4%) compared with the Conservatives (-10.1%).

It quickly became clear the asalent was mentally ill. He’d earlier attacked a non-Jewish man in South London. All three victims survived. There was little to suggest the attacker was part of any broader terrorist or political group. But coming in the wake of a series of attacks on Jewish property, the stabbings were given wall-to-wall coverage by UK media. The existence of the non-Jewish victim effectively erased in much of the reporting, even by the police, who announced he’d been charged following the stabbing of two men rather than three. The incident prompted a chorus of demands from across the political spectrum for a crackdown on demonstrations against the genocide in Gaza termed hate marches including from reform party leader Nigel Farage. I’m afraid we have allowed marches to take place with chants being heard over the treets of London and other cities and we’ve not acted. Uh, and the government has been weak, weak, weak on all of this. Farage, of course, was recently exposed as having been, at least in his youth, a crude and extreme anti-semite. British politics, Palansky quickly found himself a target. He was abused in the street. You little weasel. How dare you? You’re supposed to be Jewish. Your mom Ava and your dad Phillip. You’re like a crackhead. Later the same day, he was subjected to Nazi salutes. Most disturbingly, when Palensky shared a post on social media criticizing the methods used to arrest the Golders Green attacker, he was subjected to an extraordinary public rebuke from the head of the Metropolitan Police, Sir Mark Rowley. Rowley not only criticized him for interfering in operational matters for which Palansky later apologized but also for failing to show sufficient solidarity in confronting anti-semitism. A highly unusual political intervention in the week before national elections. Rowley then doubled down on national television, adding his voice to those urging restrictions on the right to protest. I’m really troubled by um what we’ve seen is many of these marches they set out with an intent um to march near synagogues etc. and every single time we put conditions on to prevent that. But even that intent causes me concern that they repeatedly ask to do such things. This is simply not true along with much else that’s been said in the last week. It’s important to remember that what’s being proposed here is restrictions on the right to protest genocide, the killing of at the very least 72,000 people, close to a third of whom are children. We’re talking tens of thousands of small children maimed, mutilated, and murdered. Killings in which Britain is complicit through surveillance flights and arms supplies. Restricting the right to protest is a serious curtailment of British civil liberties. We feel it’s vital that you, the public, are in possession of accurate information. My colleague, Lorna Hosford, has pulled together a very basic fact check.

Iranian guy stabbed in London – only one report in news. Starmer – people unfair on him? Currygate Labour – headlines to grab attention. ZIONIST SUPPORTING IRANIAN PAHLAVIST THUGS OUT OF CONTROL WITH COPS BLESSINGS. Same account that threatened him is literally out and celebrating his attack… PRESS RELEASE – UK/IRAN: Protestor stabbed at anti-war demo in Downing Street A protestor has been stabbed outside Downing Street during a demonstration against the US/Israeli war against Iran. The victim, Mohammed Reza, a father of two, was attacked by two men taking part in an anti-Iranian counter demonstration. He was taken to hospital for treatment. The extent of his injuries are as yet unclear. Police have arrested the attackers. Eye-witnesses report that the police seem to have paid little attention to keeping the counter protestors away from the main demonstration, organised by the Hands Off Iran Coalition. This is despite the fact that police are aware that pro-monarchist anti-Iran protestors have a history of trouble and violence. Hands Off Iran Coalition representatives attending tonight’s demonstration said that the counter protestors were freely walking across the road to intimidate and threaten their rivals. Tonight’s stabbing occurred after counter protestors had threatened the main protest with physical violence in full view of the police. It seems that police ignored or at the very least underestimated the warnings they have repeatedly been given about the threat posed by pro-monarchist thugs, who in recent weeks have targeted mosques, centres and individuals that have shown support for Iran. This includes throwing Molotov cocktails at the Islamic Centre of England in London. Police name man charged with stabbing during Downing Street protest The stabbing occurred as protesters gathered outside Downing Street for an anti-war rally The man was stabbed outside Downing Street during a protest against the Iran War A man has been charged with the stabbing of another man during a protest near Downing Street this week, as demonstrators gathered to decry the war in Iran. Earlier this week, Met Police officers responded to reports of a physical assault at 7.18pm on Wednesday, April 22, at Whitehall. Five men were arrested at the scene in connection with the incident, which police understand to be the result of a dispute among those attending the protest. One of these men, who is in his 40s, was taken to hospital with an apparent knife wound but he was later discharged. His injuries are not believed to be life-threatening nor life-changing. Vahid Madaffard, 37, of Kenilworth Avenue, Harrow, was charged overnight with causing grievous bodily harm with intent and possession of a bladed article in a public place. He has been remanded in custody to appear before Westminster Magistrates’ Court this morning, Friday, April 24. Four other men who were arrested at the scene have been given bail while police enquiries continue.

PR voting system – in Scotland, and Wales. Voting boxes left overnight with security guard – security guards can easily be paid off. Vote count delays raise ‘real concerns’ over ballot security EXCLUSIVE: A three-day election count, and a pause between the polls closing tonight and ballot verification tomorrow morning, has raised serious questions over arrangements for the countAll the votes cast in today’s local elections across Croydon will be left unverified somewhere in the Fairfield Halls for at least 10 hours after the polls close. Sources from different political parties have raised serious concerns over a lack of security in a public building for such a prolonged period. Elaine Jackson, the council’s interim chief executive and the Returning Officer for the elections of Croydon’s Mayor and 70 councillors across the borough’s 28 wards, refused to comment when Inside Croydon asked her to explain how she intended to ensure that the votes will be tamper-proof. When the polls close at 10pm, the ballot boxes from Croydon’s 153 polling stations, from Crystal Palace in the north to Coulsdon in the south, will be taken to the count venue, which this year is the Fairfield Halls arts complex on Park Lane. At most local authorities, the ballot boxes, once delivered and unloaded, would immediately be verified by election officials while observed by the various parties’ election agents, prior to the count beginning as soon as possible, and with results being declared through the night. But not in Croydon in 2026. Jackson has decided to extend the vote count over two days, with voting in the mayoral election not being counted until tomorrow, Friday May 8, while votes in the local election count will only begin at 9am on Saturday – 35 hours after the polls closed. “Verification for both counts will begin at 8am on Friday May 8, ” a statement from the council says. That’s a 10-hour gap between the ballot boxes being secure in the polling stations and the votes being verified “You have to say it will be a matter of serious concern that people’s votes will remain unverified for such a long time, under uncertain security arrangements,” one experienced Croydon politico told Inside Croydon. “Ballot boxes could go missing, and no one would be any the wiser.” Croydon’s arrangements this year reflect the experience from 2022, when an overnight count at Trinity School starting just before midnight on Thursday dragged on until tea time on the Sunday, in what was an omnishambles of disorganiation, making Croydon a laughing stock across the country. Jackson, who was then the council’s assistant chief executive, will have been a leading figure in the organisation of the 2022 count. That count began badly, when some election agents and observers were denied access to monitor the verification. “It is an essential part of the process, to ensure all is done correctly, for election agents to be able to oversee the verification of the votes.” According to the Electoral Commission, “The verification of the used, unused and spoilt ballot papers is a legal requirement, and is central to the declaration of accurate results.” Verification is the tallying up process when the number of ballot papers issued is checked against the number of votes cast. “This is a record of the number of ballot papers expected and the number of ballot papers counted, along with an explanation for any variances. “Any agent may make a copy of this,” says the Electoral Commission’s advice to Returning Officers and election officials. “You should make copies available for the agents present once verification has been completed. “The verification statement is a key communication tool that will help to ensure that candidates and agents are confident that the processes at the verification and count are transparent and that they will produce an accurate result. “As with all aspects of the verification and count process, transparency is key and the process followed should be clear to all present.” According to Croydon Council, “Once we have verified the ballot papers for both the Mayoral and council elections, the ballot papers for the council elections will be placed back in the ballot boxes and sealed. “Those boxes will remain in the count areas in locked cages until Saturday morning, when we will begin counting the votes for the council elections.” And the council also said: “Security staff will remain on duty all night with the ballot boxes containing the council ballot papers.” Some agents and candidates will have been present at the council offices earlier this week for the initial checks on the thousands of votes submitted by post. Indications from this highly confidential process confirmed that voting in the mayoral elections will be very close.

According to Global Witness’ analysis of quarterly filings, these six fossil fuel giants have not collectively generated this much money since Q4 2022. The three biggest European majors – Shell, bp and TotalEnergies – have earned $252 billion since the 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Global Witness head of news investigations Patrick Galey said: “As lives are destroyed through war and people everywhere fear rising bills, it’s galling to see oil giants like Shell raking in obscene amounts of money. “Sadly, we all know this isn’t the first time oil giants have cashed in from war – when Russia invaded Ukraine 4 years ago, our energy bills spiralled as fossil fuel firms raked it in. “And now we’re seeing the same pattern repeat itself: the combined profits of Europe’s six biggest oil firms were up by 43% compared to the same period last year. These are clearly the spoils of war….

Bomber Beeching book by journalist and former Member of te European Parliament (MEP) Richard Cottrell – it was the US petrodollar lobby that closed British railways. Doctor Who? Atomic Bomber Beeching and his War on the Railways. by Richard Cottrell (2013) The book describes the efforts of the British Government to force the diversion of rail traffic to roads and the motor transport industry by shuttering much of the rail network. A key figure in this scheme was Doctor Who? – Doctor Richard Beeching – a physicist who it is revealed in this book for the first time helped to design the British A Bomb during his wartime work at top secret weapons establishment. Hence Atomic Bomber Beeching and his War on the Railways. Beeching’s reign of terror in the early 1960’s resulted in the closure of a third of the UK rail network, mostly on on entirely specious grounds to please his political masters in the Conservative Party. Parts of the system that he closed are now being painstakingly and expensively re-opened. The railway that he saw at death’s door is now carrying more passengers annually than its entire previous history. So Beeching was wrong? Of course. But Richard Cottrell’s book opens up a wide debate on why transport planners in the UK always get their knitting in a twist. Cottrell uses the Beeching cipher to explore the disasters of British airship adventures, the draw out motorway development saga, why the British motor industry produced so many dinosaurs and eventually collapsed, the long series of post war aviation maladventures including the ill-fated exploding Comet and the disastrous Concorde adventure, the drawn out fiasco of the Channel Tunnel, bizarre plots aided by Margaret Thatcher to block Docklands from getting a direct tube line connection in order to placate the City of London, the London Crossrail project and now the developing scandal of high speed rail transport. Cottrell brings in the long standing fatwa of British Airways and partner airlines to block high speed rail connections between the UK and much prized airline destinations in Europe. He makes the contrast between the French way of get up and go and the British method of muddle and confusion which led to the utterly botched model of railway privatisation. This, he says, is nothing more than a giant roulette wheel run by the Treasury extracting huge bids to run passenger trains. Cottrell is a passionate advocate of public transport, quite a contradiction for a former Conservative Euro MP, for which he is completely unapologetic He is a previously published author with previous works on Europe’s farm policy, the murder of a British journalist and undercover secret agent in Greece during the fascist military junta, and lately a book on Gladio: NATO’s Dagger at the Heart of Europe

Crispin Flintoff covering arson against Starmer trial – background of Ukrainian arsonist. Starmer Arson Trial Day 8 👉The sad story of Roman Lavrynovych – 👉Testimony of alleged main suspect attracts well dressed spooks to the public gallery. Tim Crossland from Defend Our Juries – why we need juries – why Elbit protesters had two trials –

Elbit protester’s barrister has been charged with contempt of court and the judge Mr. Justice Johnson has been promoted – defendourjuries.net.  A copy of the order obtained by The Grayzone exposes Judge Johnson’s egregious weaponization of contempt of court charges to sway jurors. Defendants and their lawyers are prevented from mentioning the principle of jury equity, which holds that a judge is forbidden from “[directing] a jury to convict.” They are also prohibited from inviting jurors to acquit the six activists based on conscience. That the activists believed “they had a defence to a charge of criminal damage” under British law likewise cannot be uttered. Judge Johnson’s order furthermore bars the defendants and their lawyers from doing the following: ++ Providing any reference to “Elbit’s activities in manufacturing weapons and supplying them to Israel; the nature of the property that the defendants damaged or destroyed; the defendants’ beliefs that weapons and other technology at Elbit’s factory would be used to kill or injure others, including children.” ++ Discussing “the history of the Middle East, including events…since October 7 2023,” or “Israel’s activities in Gaza” at any time. ++ Probing the jury’s “background knowledge and/or view about those events.” ++ Mentioning that the six defendants “were arrested for terrorism offences,” subsequently remanded in custody for up to 18 months – under conditions so onerous several went on hunger strike, while one defendant attempted to commit suicide – then “acquitted of offences of aggravated burglary and violent disorder” in February. Johnson’s naked attempts to rig the trial do not end there. At least nine people have been arrested for camping outside Woolwich crown court, where the six PA activists are being retried. Their crime was to have held signs reminding anyone entering the building – including jurors – of the principle of jury equity. Their signs read, “Jurors have an absolute right to acquit according to their conscience,” and “Jurors deserve to hear the whole truth.” They face contempt of court charges as a result.

Trump’s war on Iran. ABC News – US and Iran exchange fire in Strait of Hormuz – Trump giving Iran a ‘love tap’. ‘Just a Love Tap’: Trump Insists Cease-Fire With Iran Is Holding Despite Ongoing Attacks Traded The U.S. and Iran have traded fresh blows, testing the limits of a shaky cease-fire and threatening to unravel what American officials said was significant progress towards a peace deal. American forces on Thursday carried out retaliatory strikes on Iranian military facilities that allegedly launched a series of “unprovoked” missile, drone, and small boat attacks against U.S. warships transiting the Strait of Hormuz, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said. U.S. forces intercepted the Iranian attacks and no damage was done to the three U.S. Destroyers, USS Truxtun (DDG 103), USS Rafael Peralta (DDG 115), and USS Mason (DDG 87), according to CENTCOM. President Donald Trump said in a post on Truth Social that Iranian missiles and drones “dropped ever so beautifully down to the Ocean, very much like a butterfly dropping to its grave!” Iran responded to the airstrikes with “reciprocal action,” attacking American military vessels near the Strait, according to Iranian state media. The United Arab Emirates said early Friday that it was dealing with missile and drone attacks for the third time this week. The U.A.E., along with other Gulf states, has faced attacks from Iran in retaliation for the U.S. and Israel launching the war since late February. Iran’s military said on Thursday, “Some countries on the shores of the Persian Gulf supported U.S. in tonight’s aggression, and that has not gone unnoticed by IRAN either.” The latest attacks came a day after U.S. forces seized an Iranian oil tanker allegedly violating the U.S. naval blockade. Iran has called both the seizure and the naval blockade violations of the U.S.-Iran cease-fire that went into effect on April 8. Iran also pushed back on the U.S. characterization of Thursday’s airstrikes, saying that the U.S. hit civilian areas, according to Iranian state media.

Link between Iran war and Ukraine war? WW2 – 3000 Canadians sacrificed in Dieppe 1941 to keep Ainsworth Davies spy activities secret. The real James Bond helped kill thousands of people, mostly British allies. He was haunted by the ghosts of “perfectly loyal and innocent people who had been caught up in our operations…” He was just “following orders” which made no sense from a patriotic p.o.v. “We were not acting from patriotism or high moral principles. We were not doing this for England or Uncle Sam. As usual, we were doing what we had been told to do: we were carrying out our orders.” For example, Creighton tipped the Nazis off to the exact time and location of the 1942 Dieppe raid which cost 3000 Canadians their lives. He was told that the British wanted to test Nazi defences. The real reasons: convince Stalin it was too early for a second front, and build up Creighton’s credibility when it came time for the Normandy Invasion. During the 1930s, the Nazi Party looted thousands of pounds, hiding the proceeds in secret accounts. The key to getting it back lay with Nazi treasurer, Martin Bormann. This book tells the story of Ian Fleming’s raid to snatch Bormann out of Berlin. Creighton led a commando raid into the city.During the 1930s, the Nazi Party looted thousands of pounds, hiding the proceeds in secret accounts. The key to getting it back lay with Nazi treasurer, Martin Bormann. This book tells the story of Ian Fleming’s raid to snatch Bormann out of Berlin. Creighton led a commando raid into the city.Creighton also talks about “Operation Tiger” in April 1944, a training exercise at Slapton Sands, Devon that was rudely interrupted by eight German torpedo boats. The toll: over 800 US soldiers drowned. (Gestapo Chief Heinrich Muller wrote that the Nazis were tipped off by a German spy.) The fiasco was kept a secret to protect D-Day morale. Creighton says survivors were interned or killed by a sea mine in order to keep the secret. (p. 25) In spite of the fact that the Devon shoreline resembled Normandy, the Nazis supposedly failed to draw the logical conclusion.

Al Jazeera – mobile data down for Russian Victory Day Parade.  Internet of Things used in war to track people down – Total Information Awareness.

How the British Army introduced the world’s first mobile microwave data communication system, called Ptarmigan, in the 1980s.  Royal Signals Museum, Blandford Forum piece Tim Stankus, Adam Forty – Monty’s HQ lorry he used in the North Africa campaign, and the Ptarmigan radio . Ptarmigan military communications led to mobile phones A military communications system first used in the 1980s, and now on show in a Dorset museum, provided the technology for the mobile network we know today. The Ptarmigan system is one of ten objects chosen by Dorset’s museums for the BBC’s History of the World project. It looks at significant or important objects that help tell the story of the world. Ptarmigan provided secure and reliable communications to any user across a battlefield area for the first time. The innovative and influential system was first used by the Army in the early 1980s and, after regular upgrades, has only just been replaced by a new system, called Bowman. The original system – portable banks of dials, switches, computers and controls designed to go inside a military vehicle – is now installed in the Royal Signals Museum in Blandford Army Camp. The museum exhibits many examples of military communications equipment from the Royal Signals Corps, the part of the British army responsible for developing and providing army communications. The museum’s business manager Adam Forty said: “The thing about Ptarmigan is that it’s the whole mobile phone system, it’s the mast, the backroom, and it’s all transportable. “It’s like a mobile mobile system. “The important thing to remember is that it was running computer networks, running digital information systems of all sorts of varieties so the extent you could communicate within the military was astonishing. “The technology initiated the development of the mobile phone. “Ptarmigan was the original digital concept that the civilian manufacturers caught wind of, and that set them off in thinking about civilian applications for it.” Tom Moncere, a former military project research officer and now Secretary of the Royal Signals Institute at Blandford Camp, was involved in the process of making the technology used for Ptarmigan accessible to the commercial telecommunications companies of the time. He said: “Ptarmigan allowed communications to extend from the solider in the frontline trench to a whole network, and obviously, industry, who had been thinking along similar lines, got to hear about what we were doing. “In fact, I remember we were approached by representatives of the two telecommunications companies, Vodafone and Cellnet, who asked us to help them with some [mobile phone] trials.” Several trial handsets were given out to military staff for them to test, with prearranged people and locations for them to contact, over the course of several months. The trials proved so successful the testers were reluctant to return the equipment afterwards.

Iran war bringing down world economy. Iran war could push a flagging US economy over the edge With jobs falling, growth slowing and inflation risks rising, an Iran oil shock could be the jolt that tips US into recession The “fog of war” refers to confusion and uncertainty on the battlefield and the attendant possibility of fatal error. This principle has a parallel when it comes to the economic consequences of wars as well, especially when they occur in a region that is a chokepoint for the production and shipment of one-fifth of the world’s oil and a third of its natural gas. Although no one really knows how deeply the ripple effects of the joint US-Israeli strikes on Iran will impair the global economy, the Gulf kingdom of Qatar issued a dire warning on March 6, 2026, that reflects those concerns: “This will bring down the economies of the world,” Qatar’s energy minister said. The impact includes one of the largest oil price shocks in history, which briefly pushed the price of crude to nearly US$120 a barrel on March 8. As for the US economy, it was already showing signs of weakness. Data released on March 6 showed an unexpected loss in jobs in February. As an economist, I expect the biggest economic risks of this war to be inflationary pressures and slowing growth due to the rising price of oil. In addition, uncertainty from the “economic fog of war” could make consumers reticent to spend and businesses hesitant about hiring and investing. These conditions will make it challenging [impossible? ed.] for policymakers to steer the economy….

World Press Freedom Day – stop killing so many journalists in Gaza. On World Press Freedom Day, Pope honours journalists killed in war zones The pope urged the rememberance of journalists who lost their lives pursuing the truth, particularly in conflict areas. Pope Leo has marked World Press Freedom Day ?by condemning ?violations of media freedom around the world and paying tribute to journalists killed while reporting in ?conflict zones. At the end of his weekly Sunday prayer in a sunny Saint Peter’s Square at the Vatican, the pontiff ?said the day highlighted both the importance of independent journalism and the growing threats faced by reporters. “Today we celebrate World Press Freedom Day … unfortunately, this right is often violated, sometimes in blatant ways, sometimes in more hidden forms,” he said. World Press Freedom Day, ?sponsored by the UN cultural agency UNESCO is intended to show support for media organisations that come under ?pressure or censorship. It is also an opportunity to commemorate journalists who have been killed at work. The Roman Catholic leader urged the faithful to remember journalists and reporters who have lost their lives pursuing the truth, particularly in conflict areas. “We remember the many journalists and reporters who have been victims of war and violence,” ?the pope said. A report last month by the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs’ Costs of War project found that Israel’s war on Gaza was the deadliest conflict for media workers ever recorded, with Israeli forces having killed 232 Palestinian journalists since October 2023. More journalists have been killed in Gaza than in both world wars, the Vietnam War, the wars in Yugoslavia, and the United States war in Afghanistan combined, the report found.

July 2024 – Tony, Dave and Martin’s NOT The BCfm Politics show was CANCELLED/EVICTED in a no fault, no notice, no appeal, eviction by The People’s Republic of Stokes Croft (PRSC) arts centre – An email from Chloe Slater and Keith Cowling explained that: ‘Transphobic’ leaflets had been left in the building by a recent guest (who denied it) making Transsexual users of the building feel ‘offended’ and ‘unsafe’. To quote: ‘Please let us know when you or Dave would like to come and retrieve your equipment and drop off your keys.

March 2020 – BCfm’s weekly Politics Show presented by Tony Gosling with Irish Republican Labour activist Martin Summers was forced off FM, now online only by station manager Pat Hart. He decided the show should be ‘rested, due to the pandemic’ on 24 March 2020 and then refused to communicate at all when we requested to do the show remotely. Bristol Community FM (BCfm) charity ‘CEO’ Patrick Hart is a longtime personal friend of Bristol’s all-powerful right-wing ‘Labour’ mayor Marvin Rees. Now on Internet only NOT The BCfm Politics Show is available 17:00-c. 21:00 live on Fridays. Pat Hart replaced us with an inane student show repeating MSM stories called The Bristol Agenda.

February 2019 – Ofcom complaint result: UKLFI exposed as creation of Israeli foreign ministryBristol 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!

Make Slavery Great Again? Judith Brown joins Tony and Martin. Universal Basic Income – pros and cons. Universal Basic Income: Make Slavery Great Again Living as Safe as Slaves Government UBI will happen – it already does to some extent, but the future will see it on a far, far larger scale. It will not be cash handouts but digital currency. This will be a tightly controlled version, as in a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), because the government will claim responsibility for controlling the money it dispenses. CBDC is essentially food vouchers, and intended to be. Your UBI will be yours as long as you use it for what the government allows, within the time they allow. Well-meaning people are already building the social acceptability for this. Those suggesting now that a virtuous society should prevent food vouchers or unemployment benefits from being used for sugar-based drinks or tobacco believe already that dependent people have lost their right to autonomy. Again, this is not at all theoretical. It is exactly what this form of money is intended for. Most people in society will see its introduction as a good thing, as they are fine with limiting the freedom of others if told that it serves a greater good. In countries like Canada, if you protest against the government, you can already lose your right to buy or sell. If you need permission to obtain the basics of life and cannot make your own choices on the pursuit of happiness, and you are punished for questioning those who restrict you, then you are in a master-slave relationship. In time, most people will become, essentially, a slave of the UBI provider, the government. This is the design behind UBI and CBDCs. It is why very rich people, the people who own the AI and robotics that are going to make so much human labor superfluous, see this as an excellent path. All the above will not seem at all dystopian. Governments will control their populations as part of saving the world (saving the world is important) and will readily convince a majority of the population that being saved is a good idea. We need governments to save us from climate catastrophe by stopping us from travelling, as our children are already told. We need large corporations to save us from pandemics, including those that the same corporations’ laboratories may develop. We need ever more expensive pharmaceuticals injected into us to save us from the scourge of obesity – to save us from our own inability to control our eating. We will certainly need saving from mass unemployment and the inability of a large part of the population to earn their own keep….

BBC QT – Olly Dugmore from New Statesman – are student loans next mis selling scandal?  Journalist hailed for ‘chilling’ Question Time speech on ‘disgusting’ Labour A JOURNALIST delivered a chilling speech on Labour’s “extraordinary” appointment of Peter Mandelson as US ambassador on Question Time. The studio audience were stunned into silence as the New Statesman’s Oli Dugmore lay bare his shock at revelations over the past week, including that Keir Starmer knew that Mandelson had continued his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein after the late paedophile’s conviction when he appointed him as US ambassador. The admission that came during Prime Minister’s Questions this week has led to some MPs suggesting Starmer’s position may now be untenable, as well as that of his chief of staff Morgan McSweeney. Dugmore was on the panel alongside Reform UK head of policy Zia Yusuf, Labour MP Emma Reynolds, Conservative MP Julia Lopez and LibDem MP Munira Wilson. Dugmore began by saying: “I’m generally a pretty forgiving person and I think our politics is poorer for its lack of empathy. “I think most people should not be defined by the worst thing they’ve ever done in their lives and most people deserve a second chance. “I do, however, have some moral boundaries, and one of them is I think it is wrong to have sex with children and I wouldn’t want to be friends with anyone that did that and I certainly wouldn’t want to work with them. If I did, I think you’d all be asking me questions and they’d be valid ones. “That is apparently now a fringe position for some people at the top of the Labour Party which is an extraordinary thing to be able to say. “I don’t know about you, I don’t know any paedophiles, I don’t know anyone that’s run a sex trafficking ring, these are extraordinary things we are talking about here.” Dugmore went on to talk about reports showing how people at the top of the Labour Party knew about Mandelson staying in Epstein’s house while he was in prison. To nervous laughter from the audience, he said: “They [Labour bosses] didn’t think that was disqualifying, they thought actually ‘this is our guy’. “This is our guy that we’re going to elevate to the most prestigious diplomatic posting that we have, we’re going to make him our man in Washington. Not only that, we’re going to bring him back to London every so often to advise on some Cabinet reshuffles, and actually when we’re choosing our candidates for the 2024 General Election, we’re going to let him put in on that too because we think he’s a great judge of character. “Like, come on.” The audience applauded his speech which has been widely shared on social media…

Eldin Fahmy, Professor of Social Policy at Bristol University, and part of Palestine Solidarity, joins Tony and Martin. “We oppose genocide, and therefore we support whatever nonviolent action might be required to stop it and to shut down the UK-based weapons manufacturers that are helping to enable it. We oppose genocide, therefore we support Palestine Action”, UK law professors set out why they signed open letter in support of Palestine Action Seven of the more than 100 academics to sign an open letter submitted to the High Court said they support ‘non violent action’ that might be required to stop genocide Several UK-based law professors have explained their decision to submit a letter to the Court of Appeal in support of the proscribed direct action group Palestine Action, as the court began hearing a government bid to keep the group banned under UK terror laws. Law Professor Neve Gordon at Queen Mary University of London and Professor Yvette Russell at the University of Bristol were among more than 100 academics to sign Tuesday’s open letter, composed of only seven words, which read: “We oppose genocide, we support Palestine Action.” Activists in support of Palestine Action hand-delivered the seven-word letter to the court on Tuesday, the same day that the government lodged its appeal against February’s ruling, which found the ban to be unlawful. Lady Chief of Justice Sue Carr confirmed that the judges had received the letter, with Carr reading it out in open court. Speaking to MEE on Thursday, seven of the professors that signed the letter defended their decision to do so, saying that because they opposed genocide, they “support whatever nonviolent action might be required to stop it”. “We oppose genocide because as academics who came of age in the decades that followed the second world war, we know that ‘never again’ must mean what it says,” they said in an email to Middle East Eye. “Since we oppose genocide and teach Law, we oppose, above all, any restrictions on one of the most fundamental principles of our entire judicial system and tradition – the hard-won principle that jurors have the right, indeed the duty, to hear and evaluate the whole truth of the case they are called upon to judge, and to acquit a defendant on the basis of their own independent judgment and conscience. “We oppose genocide, and therefore we support whatever nonviolent action might be required to stop it and to shut down the UK-based weapons manufacturers that are helping to enable it. We oppose genocide, therefore we support Palestine Action,” they said. “We support Palestine Action, and we call on all people of conscience and goodwill to join us in doing so,” the group added. More than 1,000 others also signed onto the letter, including leftist intellectual Tariq Ali, philosopher Judith Butler, writer Salley Rooney and activist Greta Thunberg.

Marketisation of universities. Universities mis selling a product – can students earn money back? Reform of higher education needed. Fighting privatisation in tertiary education We have one of the fastest growing private sectors in Europe and the level of private investment in tertiary education in the UK is already far above the EU and OECD averages. Fighting Privatisation Toolkit The government is committed to opening up the further and higher education sectors to ‘new providers’, especially those from the private sector. UCU is opposed to the privatisation of tertiary education. We think that the interests of our members, of the students and parents who are at the heart of education and of the wider society we serve, are best served by an education system that is funded and controlled by the public and that is democratically accountable to the citizens of the UK. Here you can read all about our campaigns against privatisation and download our resources. Education is not for profit The government is committed to de-regulating the higher education sector in favour of private companies, creating what it calls a ‘level playing field’ for profit-making companies. UCU has long been concerned that this will remove the academic checks and balances that protect standards in universities, allowing companies whose primary obligation is to their shareholders to drive down costs and opening the door to the kind of mis-selling, recruitment and fraud scandals seen in the USA recently. USIC pay freeze March 2026: Strike action has been taking place at University of Sheffield International College (USIC) over a pay freeze. USIC is owned by Study Group. Staff were told their cost of living pay increase, already delayed by six months, would be frozen for the second year in a row. Despite this, pay CEO Ian Chrichton took home over £600k in 2024, including a bonus of over £195k. The USIC UCU branch chair said: ‘Our members are angry that the college is being slowly run into the ground by an overpaid corporate leadership that shows no interest in quality of education.’ Falmouth University to bring on-campus academic staff in-house June 2023: After a long-running dispute Falmouth University is to bring on-campus academic staff in-house. The move means staff will automatically be enrolled onto the Teachers’ Pension Scheme (TPS). All new campus-based academic jobs will also be employed directly through the university, rather than a subsidiary company. Falmouth UCU members voted overwhelmingly to resolve the dispute and work constructively with management going forward. ALRA drama school goes into liquidation April 2022: The Academy of Live and Recorded Arts, based in London and Wigan, has announced it is going into liquidation. There was no warning given, and the first that either students or staff heard was a message on 4 April stating that the building was closed and that all staff were redundant from that date on. Secret discussions with the Office for Students (OfS) have led to an offer for students to transfer their studies to Rose Bruford but there was no such consideration for staff. UCU has highlighted the lax regulation of private educational providers: it is yet another stark reminder of the human consequences of government inaction. Government must bring colleges back into public ownership September 2020: The government needs to bring colleges back into public ownership and fund them properly, said UCU in response to a report on the financial sustainability of colleges from the National Audit Office: Bring colleges back into public ownership and fund them properly For-profit college goes into administration July 2019: UCU responded to the news that England’s biggest for profit college has gone into administration by calling on the government to look again at the funding free for all around private providers. Current students will now have to find alternative institutions from September: Controversial for-profit college goes bust leaving staff and students stranded…

China has free higher education. Censorship of academic voices by sponsors? Study Abroad in China. All You Need to Know about Tuition and Living Costs Many international students chose China for their studies abroad. But why? Well, China has been investing a lot in education over the last years and has developed partnerships with universities from the UK and US. Chinese universities offer quality education and have high-standard facilities. That’s why, over 100 higher education institutions are currently present in top rankings created by Times Higher Education and TopUniversities. But how expensive is it to live and study in China? Below, we’ll talk about average expenses, like tuition fees and living costs. We want to give you a general idea regarding what kind of budget you’ll need to study in the 4th largest country in the world. The average tuition fees in Chinese public universities range between 2,500 and 10,000 USD/academic year. You can also find several programmes with no tuition fees. These are usually offered by universities from other countries (e.g. the UK, Germany, Denmark), which have campuses in China. Tuition fees in private universities Private universities usually have higher tuition. While most courses cost under 30,000 USD/year, for some MBA programmes you can pay over 40,000 USD/year. Costs can be even higher in private institutions from other countries. For example, the New York University (NYU) Shanghai, established in collaboration with the East China Normal University of Shanghai, has tuition fees of over 50,000 USD/year. The most common accommodation options in China are: Student residence halls – prices range between 150 and 400 USD/month. Renting a flat – expect to pay between 300 and 1,000 USD/month for a one-bedroom apartment (depending on the city, the location of the apartment and the included facilities). Living with a Chinese family– between 350 and 550 USD/month…

King Charles’s speech at dinner in US. Is Trump different to other US leaders or is it just his methods?

Matt Kennard article – US, UK defence agreement. UK participating in Iran war although Starmer says they’re not. We still don’t know what’s in the 2020 UK-Israel defence pact The UK and Israel signed a secret military pact in 2020. British governments hate transparency, as we know so the public isn’t allowed to know anything of note about this defence agreement. This week we were reminded of its existence once again by journalist Matt Kennard. When the agreement was done, there were many celebratory social media posts, including from the Israeli military. Here is the head of strategy of the Foreign, Common and Development Office, Neil Wigan, a former UK ambassador to Israel, doing the same. You can read an excellent breakdown of recent UK-Israel military cooperation here for context. Defence agreement to boost ‘military cooperation’ In 2020, the UK Defence Journal (UKDJ) wrote: Most of the agreement is highly classified, but the cooperation will include defence medical training, organisational design concepts and defence education. UKDJ also cited a UK-Israel thinktank named BICOM as having said: Military cooperation has been growing over the last decade with the relationship viewed as mutually beneficial. The same report stated: In October, it was reported that the British had been given access to Israel’s Rhino mobile headquarters, designed by Elbit Systems. The British Army said the system helps to “reduce the size of the headquarters, makes it less vulnerable and able to make and communicate decisions faster. Israel’s Rhino headquarters is a form of networked command vehicle. You can read about it via Army Recognition. An October 2020 article on Middle East Forum said: For three weeks in October the British looked at various new technologies. One of the innovative designs is by Israel’s Elbit Systems and is called the “Rhino mobile headquarters.” It uses advanced digital technology to link together units in the field and commanders with the best information possible to help achieve results on the battlefield….

King Charles’s speech at Congress – US, UK special relationship. I am mindful that we are still in the season of Easter. The season that most strengthens my hope. It is why I believe with all my heart that the essence of our two nations is a generosity of spirit and a duty to foster compassion, to promote peace, to deepen mutual understanding, and to value all people of all faiths and of none. The alliance that our two nations have built over the centuries and for which we are profoundly grateful to the American people is truly unique. And that alliance is part of what Henry Kissinger described as Kennedy’s soaring vision of an Atlantic partnership based on twin pillars, Europe and America. That partnership, I believe, Mr. Speaker, is more important today than it has ever been. The first reigning British sovereign to set foot in America was my grandfather, King George V 6th. He visited in 1939 with my beloved grandmother, Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. The forces of fascism in Europe were on the march. And sometime before the United States had joined us in the defense of freedom, our shared values prevailed. Today, we find ourselves in a new era, but those values remain. It is an era that is in many ways more volatile and more dangerous than the world to which my late mother spoke in this chamber in 1991. The challenges we face are too great for any one nation to bear alone. But in this unpredictable environment, our alliance cannot rest on past achievements or assume that foundational principles simply endure. As um my prime minister said last month, ours is an indispensable partnership. We must not disregard everything that has sustained us for the last 80 years. Instead, we must build on it. Renewal. Renewal today starts with security. The United Kingdom recognizes that the threats we face demand a transformation in British defense. That is why our country in order to be fit for the future has committed to the biggest sustained increase in defense spending since the Cold War. During part of which over 50 years ago, I served with immense pride in the Royal Navy, following in the naval footsteps of my father, Prince Philip Duke of Edinburgh, my grandfather, King George V 6th, my great uncle, Lord Mountbatton, and my great-grandfather, King George V. This year of course also marks the 25th anniversary of 9/11. This atrocity was uh a defining moment for America and your pain and shock were felt around the whole world. During my visit to New York, uh my wife and I will again pay our respects to the victims, the families, and the bravery shown in the face of terrible loss. We stood with you then and we stand with you now in solemn remembrance of a day that shall never be forgotten. In the immediate aftermath of 9/11, when NATO invoked Article 5 for the first time and the United Nations Security Council was united in the face of terror, we answered the call together as our people have done so for more than a century, shoulderto-shoulder through two world wars, the Cold War, Afghanistan, and moments that have defined our shared security. Today, Mr. Speaker, that same unyielding resolve is needed for the defense of Ukraine and her most courageous people. It is needed in order to secure a truly just and lasting peace. From the depths of the Atlantic to the disastrously melting ice caps of the Arctic, the commitment and expertise of the United States armed forces and its allies lie at the heart of NATO.

West’s destruction of Middle East. Middle East local communities good.  Communal living in Beirut Growing numbers of young people opt for shared homes in order to afford living in Beirut, experiencing a different lifestyle – and freedom The realm of beit mouchtarak (communal living), bringing mostly students and young professionals together, has been expanding in Beirut. Increasing rents but also expanding the prospect of freedoms that living at home does not provide, communal living has attracted more and more young people and couples. Among the most sought-after – and costly because they are located in hip areas with rooms priced $300 to $700 and above per month – are those close to universities and nightlife: Hamra, Gemmayzeh, Mar Mikhael and Achrafieh. Top priorities are avoiding nearby construction sites and finding (around-the-clock) electricity, wi-fi, air conditioning, parking and nice co-habitants in addition to personal liberties. Many locals, though, struggle to afford Beirut: “U want 3 months = $2700 + deposit $900 + broker fees $900, which adds up to a total of $4500 – seriously!” an angry woman recently posted in response to an estate agent’s offer on Facebook. Living spaces and flatmates are often found within social networks. There are dozens of groups on Facebook, and through notes and posts put up in strategic places such as university notice boards or in cafes, in emails that circulate, waseet (classifieds) or through friends. Many set-ups bring together people who previously were strangers. “Whenever I shared a flat with friends it would be the continuation of a story we both knew. The only difference would be tackling the new-found issues like hygiene, smoking indoors incompatibility, pets, etc,” Natheer Halawani, 30, said. “But when it came to strangers, I would instantly take a stranger over somebody I knew.” Nadia Younes, 27, a veteran in communal living, has effectively done so. “In the past two years, I have met three out of the five roommates I have had in my current flat from the apartments on the Beirut [Facebook] page,” she told MEE. She checks candidates’ Facebook pages before making up her mind. Younes is clear about what she will and won’t put up with. “I simply expect them to respect the shared living space,” she put forward. “And to be able to share in responsibilities for the flat such as paying bills, talking to the natour [concierge], flipping the switch for the generator, cleaning the bathroom and kitchen and to contribute to general expenses.” She also insists on courtesy, which includes general greetings and to be given a little notice before groups of friends come over. Hot spots are usually the shared kitchen and bathroom, with dirty dishes, clogged up drains, toilet seats left up, smoking rules – and rules in general. “We had very strict rules for cleaning up the shared spaces and were more lax about sharing the cost of living as we were both on very limited allowance from our parents,” Nathalie Diab, 32, recalled of her Achrafieh student commune. Halawani also believed in rules: “We had many rules. What worked best was having one main tenant that would take care of everything including bills. Usually this would result in the main tenant paying less.” Harb, however, in one flat stopped enforcing the rules. “It was too much emotional energy spent. And as a result, I am no longer friends with the girls I used to live with.”

Stabbing of Jews in Golders Green – 48,000 stabbings annually. Why are there so many stabbings in Britain? A total of 51,527 knife crime offenses were recorded in England and Wales in the 12 months up until June 2025, excluding the region of Greater Manchester, according to the UK’s Office of National Statistics (data is recorded differently in Manchester). Of these offenses, 196 were homicides, the ONS said. Notably, the overall number of recorded knife crime offenses in the year leading up to June 2025 fell 5% when compared with the year before. While the issue of knife crime is a “serious social concern,” it “should not be a source of moral hysteria,” Iain Overton, executive director of the non-governmental organization Action on Armed Violence told CNN on Monday. In the year leading up to March 2024, 570 homicides took place in England and Wales, according to ONS, with 262 homicides committed using a knife or other sharp instrument. The most commonly used instrument in these homicides was a kitchen knife, ONS said. Shooting killed only 22 of the victims. A total of 64 teenagers aged between 13 and 19 were killed in this time frame, ONS said, with 83% of these victims being killed by a knife or sharp instrument. Because not all knife crime offenses are reported to police, hospital data can also help in understanding the extent of the issue. From April 2024 to 2025, there were 3,494 instances in which patients were admitted to hospital in England for assault by sharp object, according to NHS England data. Nearly 90% of patients treated were male, with 16% of patients aged 18 or under. Scotland and Northern Ireland record crime separately to England and Wales. A total of 28 homicides were committed by sharp instrument in Scotland from 2023 to 2024, and four in Northern Ireland in the same time frame. In the United States, a total of 1,704 people were killed by a “cut” or “pierce” in 2023, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This type of crime is the result of “an incision, slash, perforation, or puncture by a pointed or sharp instrument, weapon, or object,” according to US public service organization The National Safety Council.

Israeli false flags. Jonathan Hall – Pro Palestinian marches encourage anti Semitism – banning of IRGC. The Stop the War Coalition has labelled attempts to link the Golders Green attack with pro-Palestine marches as “false” and “unacceptable,” as speculation mounts that the UK authorities will try to ban anti-genocide demonstrations.

Pro Palestinian marches on 9th in Bristol and 16th May in London.  Bristol Palestine Solidarity Campaign Saturday 09 May, 12 Noon Bristol Nakba78 – March for Palestine Assemble Bandstand, Castle Park, BS1 3XB Nakba means ‘catastrophe’ in Arabic. It refers to the ethnic cleansing of 750,000+ Palestinians in 1948 by Zionist colonists leading to the ‘State of Israel’. It is observed on 15th May. As a second Nakba unfolds, join us in demanding an end to genocide, occupation, and apartheid. Defend the right of Palestinians to: • EXIST as a sovereign, free people • RESIST tyranny and oppression • RETURN to their historic homeland All of Palestine is occupied. From the River to the Sea, Palestinians Must be Free! Organised by local groups including Bristol Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Stop the War, Bristol Apartheid Free Zone and Bristol Trades Union CouncilThe right to protest is a fundamental freedom In Latest news, Press Releases and Statements In the wake of the horrific antisemitic attack in Golders Green, politicians and the media have rushed to falsely characterise the marches for Palestine and to call for them to be suspended. These calls dangerously conflate Jewish people with the state of Israel and peaceful political protest with unconnected violent acts. We utterly reject both. On Saturday 16 May we will march in London for the annual commemoration of the Nakba – the catastrophe inflicted on the Palestinians by Israel since 1948. We will march in opposition to the British government’s complicity in Israel’s well-documented ethnic cleansing, apartheid, and genocide. This year, we will also march against Tommy Robinson and his far-right supporters mobilising on the same day. The organisers of the demonstration are fascists, racists, and islamophobes who have espoused the antisemitic great replacements theory. As always, our march will involve thousands of Jewish people – many of them proudly displaying their Jewish identity – as part of the Jewish Bloc, as organisers and platform speakers. By bringing together people from all backgrounds and walks of life, we will reaffirm opposition to all forms of racism including anti-Palestinian racism, antisemitic, and Islamophobia. The right to protest is a fundamental democratic freedom that must be protected. We call on all those who believe in the universal principles of freedom, justice, and equality to join us at 12 noon on Exhibition Road on Saturday 16 May. Join us – Nakba 78 March with us on the streets of London, 16 May 2026.

New UK Ambassador to US, after Mandelson, Christian Turner, says Israel has special relationship with US, not UK. Epstein scandal. America’s special relationship is ‘probably Israel’, says UK ambassador to US In leaked remarks, Christian Turner also says it is ‘extraordinary’ that Epstein scandal has not affected sex offender’s US associates Britain’s ambassador to Washington has said that America’s only “special relationship” is “probably Israel”, not the UK, in remarks that risk embarrassing King Charles during his visit to the US this week. Sir Christian Turner also criticised America’s political system for failing to hold US associates of the sex offender Jeffrey Epstein to account, saying it was “extraordinary” that the scandal “hasn’t touched anybody” in the US. He noted that, by contrast, senior British figures, including his predecessor as ambassador Lord Peter Mandelson and “potentially the prime minister”, had been “brought down” by the affair. A recording of the remarks, made in mid-February at an event with UK students visiting Washington, shortly after Turner started in post, was shared with the FT this week. In comments that are outspoken for a senior diplomat, he said UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer had been “on the ropes” earlier this year from the fallout over the appointment of Mandelson, and that the Labour Party could “remove” him after local elections in May. During a question-and-answer session, Turner said he disliked the phrase “special relationship” to describe Anglo-American ties, complaining that it was “quite nostalgic, it’s quite backwards-looking, and it has a lot of baggage about it”. He added: “I think there is probably one country that has a special relationship with the United States — and that is probably Israel.” The comments were made in the weeks running up to the US-Israeli strikes on Iran that began the current conflict in the Middle East. Turner said that London’s link to Washington was nonetheless “so strong”, adding: “There is a deep history and affinity between us. Particularly on defence and security, we are intertwined.” But he added that: “The relationship will carry on, if you want, being ‘special’, but I think it’s going to have to be different.” Britain and the rest of Europe must “work to redefine” the relationship, particularly on defence grounds, instead of relying on a US security umbrella, he said. The UK also needed to make clear what it brought to the table in the bilateral relationship, he said. Turner answered questions about the Epstein scandal and the contrast in how it had played out on either side of the Atlantic. He said it appeared to him “extraordinary” that the scandal over the convicted sex offender had “brought down a senior member of the royal family [Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor], a British ambassador to Washington, potentially the prime minister, and yet here in the US, it really hasn’t touched anybody”. He said it was an “interesting question” about the “different levels of accountability in our systems”. The remarks have come to light ahead of the King’s address to Congress on Tuesday afternoon, as he and Queen Camilla undertake a four-day state visit to the US, which will also take in New York. The King and Queen have resisted intense pressure from campaigners and US congressman Ro Khanna to meet some of Epstein’s victims while in the country. The royal visit has been regarded by British government figures as a salve for the bilateral relationship at a time of severe strain following US President Donald Trump’s repeated attacks on Starmer and criticism of Britain for refusing to offer more support to the US-Israel war against Iran. During his speech at the welcome ceremony for the British royals, Trump hailed the two nations’ “unique bond and role in history”, calling it “the essence of our special relationship, and we hope it will always remain that way”. Turner acknowledged that US legislators aimed to “bring to account some of those senior figures” associated with Epstein, including inviting Mandelson and Mountbatten-Windsor to testify before Congress. However, he added: “How many Americans have been called to testify before Congress when the Epstein files show very, very senior people, politicians, business folks, Bill Gates, all having a close association with Epstein?” Since Turner’s remarks, Gates, the Turning to the appointment and subsequent sacking of Mandelson, Turner said the saga was a “crisis” that “has nearly brought down the government and ended the prime minister’s tenure”. The diplomat said of Starmer’s premiership earlier in February that “at one stage he was pretty clearly on the ropes” and his future looked “quite touch and go”. The Labour Party’s rules set a high threshold to remove a sitting prime minister, Turner noted, highlighting that it required 80 MPs to “sign a letter in public, which is like signing a death warrant”. Reaching such a bar was “still quite difficult” and Starmer was “a stubborn guy” who would be unlikely to quit, the ambassador said. However, he added: “The moment I would look to is the May elections. If Labour does very badly . . . I suspect the party will be able to go over that threshold and remove him — seems to me to be the conventional thinking.” He added: “If they do OK, he might carry on going . . . That’s just for me as a citizen speculating because I have to serve whomever is there.” Turner offered his view of the key issue governing Mandelson’s appointment, saying “the vetting thing’s a bit of a red herring”. “The problem was he had a bunch of associations that were embarrassing to him and the government that had not been revealed,” he added. “And, arguably, once they were uncovered, the prime minister moved to sack him.” Turner’s comments were never intended as public statements of government policy, UK officials stressed. Sir Peter Westmacott, a previous UK ambassador to the US, defended Turner. He told the FT: “It can be embarrassing when remarks intended for a private audience are made public, but I see no reason why what he said to a group of students a couple of months ago need affect his ability to continue the excellent start he has made in DC.” A Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office spokesperson said: “These were private, informal comments made to a group of UK sixth-form students visiting the US in early February. They are certainly not any reflection of the UK government’s position.”

Ex- UK Ambassador to Syria and Bahrain, Peter Ford – US, Israel special relationship – was Mandelson appointed to cover secrets – the key point in in what the ambassador said was that the only country that had a special relationship was Israel. Um, and uh, I think the Israelis would have had an interest in in leaking this um, this tit um, put the boot into the UK to u unsettle uh, us and to assert their own standing uh, because Israel is a jealous lover that does not tolerate a third party in bed with itself and the United states and we witnessed during the recent visit uh just a few days ago in Congress uh Congress rose to its feet in a standing ovation 12 times for Charles. A few months ago they rose to their feet standing ovation for Netanyahu 53 times. I think that uh makes it fairly clear who’s special in the eyes of Washington. Yeah. Well, interesting way to look at it. And you’re you’re quite right about the numbers, too. Uh but but you know, you’re talking about us being abused in the UK by the United States. It doesn’t look like that, does it? When you look at uh King Charles and Donald Trump, it looks as if King Charles is cocking a snook at Trump and he’s somehow superior. In fact, he’s actually uh gently insulting Trump um and correcting him uh almost like a sort of grandfather figure. Uh so it doesn’t quite square with what you’re saying about Britain being a sort of lesser partner here. Look, Tony, Charles should not have gone there. Should never have gone there. He’s doing Trump an enormous favor by even going there. Uh the small price that Trump is paying is to tolerate Charles’s m Charles’s mild uh chiding of him. He’s got the big prize. The king of England, the king of England, for Evan’s sake, has visited the monster of the White House, who is fresh from uh waging illegitimate war in the Middle East, uh who has been talking about destroying civilizations. I mean, the idea that the British monarch should dream of going there. I mean, it’s like, well, I’m sorry I have to drag Hitler [laughter] in here, but the parallel is so obvious. If the king of England had thought that he’d visit Germany in the immediate aftermath of Germany’s uh [clears throat] invasion of Czechoslovakia, uh it would have been unthinkable and it should similarly have been unthinkable for Charles. It it’s demeaning again. It’s pathetic. He He’s not my king. He’s not our king by going to pay court to the emperor of America. He should never have gone. He should They the monarchy isn’t useful for much. But they could the monarchy could have struck a blow for everything that is decent and right by by doing nothing, by just not going to America. Now, uh the headlines uh change from time to time. You get a headline and you know half an hour later it’s changed, an hour later it’s changed again. That’s the way of the internet. It’s not like the old newspapers once it’s in print that’s it. Uh and one of the independent headlines uh this week as yesterday was uh the king’s US visit palace responds after Trump claims Charles supports the US Iran war. Now this is after their little quiet chitchat behind the scenes. I mean, on the surface of it, it looks as if um this is something that that Trump is just kind of blurting out because he likes to do this. Um where he maybe was supposed to be keeping his mouth shut. Do you think that Charles, it’s possible Charles did say to him that quietly that Britain does support him? Uh it’s all playing with words. I’ve no doubt that Charles was briefed to say that um while u the British government may have expressed some disqu uh we do of course support the objective of um bringing of preventing Iran from ever having a nuclear weapon and that is British policy. That is British policy right or or wrong. Um, but I think Trump as always uh twisted it uh to give the impression that Charles supported his launching the war uh which I I’m 99% certain Charles uh did not say he supported. He would not have departed from his brief in that way.

BREACH OF PROTOCOL, THE FLY ON THE WALL? After confidential meeting Trump tells press King Charles told him the UK supported his war on Iran. Trump defied protocol by relaying details of private chat with king. A state dinner honouring King Charles III and Queen Camilla was overshadowed by an unexpected diplomatic disclosure as President Donald Trump claimed the British monarch had privately agreed with him on Iran’s nuclear ambitions. The comments, made during Tuesday’s event, sparked mild consternation among UK pundits, highlighting a significant breach of royal protocol. Speaking to attendees, Trump recounted a private meeting earlier in the day, stating: “We’re doing a little Middle East work right now … and we’re doing very well.” He continued, “We have militarily defeated that particular opponent, and we’re never going to let that opponent ever — Charles agrees with me, even more than I do — we’re never going to let that opponent have a nuclear weapon.” While the sentiment regarding Iran might resonate with many Britons, publicly relaying a private conversation with the sovereign is unusual. British convention dictates such discussions remain confidential, partly to ensure the monarch stays above the political fray. Crucially, the King cannot publicly engage in debate or correct the record if misquoted, making such disclosures particularly sensitive. Craig Prescott, an expert on constitutional law and the monarchy at Royal Holloway, University of London, underscored the gravity of the situation. “Generally, as a matter of protocol, I think I would expect discussions between heads of state to be sort of behind the scenes, in those closed meetings, for those to be sort of kept private,” he said. “And, you know, this was something that the U.K. government wanted to avoid.” The incident occurred amid considerable apprehension surrounding the King’s US trip. The visit, carefully choreographed by the UK government, aimed partly to mend a rift from Trump’s frustration with Prime Minister Keir Starmer over his stance on the Iran war. The hope was that warm relations between the King and Trump, who seems to love all things royal, could help bridge diplomatic divides. However, Trump’s unconventional leadership style and penchant for breaking protocol had raised concerns about potential missteps. Buckingham Palace swiftly issued a statement to provide context, asserting: “The King is naturally mindful of his government’s long-standing and well-known position on the prevention of nuclear proliferation.” Prescott noted that the central concern had always been Trump’s unpredictable nature. “In a sense, this was always the issue, just what Trump would do or say — would he put the king in an embarrassing position,” he said, adding, “You always had that sort of issue of what he would post on social media. And I think, you know, this could have been much, much worse.” Prior to the state dinner, King Charles delivered a speech to a joint session of the US Congress, receiving repeated standing ovations. His address celebrated the enduring bonds between the two nations while acknowledging differences on issues such as Nato, support for Ukraine, and the need to combat climate change…

Nigel Day from Nuke Watch – how nukes are taken around UK. NukewatchUK Watching Britain’s Weapons of Mass Destruction Nuclear weapons convoy routes The components for the warheads are made at AWE Aldermaston (Atomic Weapons Establishment) in Berkshire and taken to nearby AWE Burghfield for assembly. The convoys take the completed warheads from Burghfield north to Coulport on Loch Long, north of Glasgow. At Loch Long the carriers are unloaded and the warheads placed in underground bunkers in the Trident Area. When required they are taken to the Explosive Handling Jetty at Coulport where they are fitted onto the missiles on the Trident submarines. The warheads require to be checked every so often and batch samples are taken from the Coulport depot to Burghfield and returned to Coulport after servicing. The frequency of convoys varies but is usually around six a year. The MOD prefers convoys to travel on motorways and A roads but at either end of the route they must use smaller roads. Not all roads are passable due to the great weight of the convoy trucks. There is an eastern route, mainly relying on the A1(M), and a western route using the M6/M74, although they sometimes go across country from one to the other. Emergency exercises take place on bases in East Anglia and occasionally elsewhere. IMPORTANT : Remember Nuclear Warhead Convoys can be seen on other routes. It is vital that you tell someone from Nukewatch whenever you see one.

Matt Ehret in Canada – history of UK, US special relationship – Henry Kissinger – who’s really in charge? They were largely devoted to the idea of of infiltrating and taking a new strategy of of multi-generational planning to infiltrate and subdue uh and ultimately undermine the foundations of the United States from within. And one of the core instruments as well as something patronized by uh King Charles III even today which was set up in 1902 uh the same year as the roads trust was set up of the Anglo American uh friendship organisation known as the uh the pilgrim society and uh it was presided over as a chair one of the chairman was Henry Kissinger for for many many years and the leading figures of the US establishment uh the highest you know blueb blood families uh the the Morgans, the Vanderbilts have all been patrons and members of this agency. Tucker Carlson himself is a is a member the he’s part as was his father. So I I see that there has been a long-term agenda to try to work to infiltrate and then dismantle whatever was viable about the United States from within directed by British intelligence, the city of London for a very long time. And I am concerned that the stage has been set, a trap has been set. To what degree Trump is aware of this, I don’t know, to absorb uh the US back into the the fold as part of the the new 21st century commonwealth. Now, it’s funny because uh you know the uh the king actually mentioned Henry Kissinger too in his speech to Congress. Uh he’s quite an important and a powerful figure uh it seems and he’s eulogized even though of course he was responsible for all sorts of trouble around the world in Indonesia, Cyprus just to name a couple, Chile uh using using US projecting US power uh in regime change operations for decades. Suddenly he’s part of this system um of shared British and American values. Yes. And you know he was made a knight of the order of St. George and St. Michael. People don’t know this uh in 1993 by Queen Elizabeth uh I uh for his service to the empire um a year before George Bush senior was made also a member of the same chivalick order of St. Michael and St. George. One of the things that Kissinger had even said at Chatham House in 1981, May 10th, he gave a speech um appraising US British special relations and especially the the special relationship that was set up by Truman at the death of Franklin Roosevelt where uh in Kissinger speech number one, he outlined the two opposing policy doctrines uh between Churchill and that of FDR of what the post-war world was supposed to look like, saying that he much preferred Churchill as the wisest of the statesman as far as Churchill’s commitment to restore the the grander of a new kind of British empire with uh as Churchill had said uh a world run by American brawn and British brains.

Big Tech in US – Theosophy – Theosophy: The Hidden Religion of the Global Ruling Class How Theosophy infiltrated the UN, Big Tech, and wellness culture to pave the way for a one-world faith You have heard of Marxism. You have heard of Darwin. You have heard of Freud. Christians have spilled oceans of ink warning about their corrosive impact on Western civilisation. But you have probably never heard of Theosophy. That ignorance is not an accident. Theosophy is the hidden religion of the ruling class, the occult philosophy that has quietly shaped everything from global governance to New Age mysticism to technocratic utopianism. And it is not simply a philosophy. It is a demonic counterfeit of Christianity. If the average churchgoer understood what Theosophy was and where it leads, they would recognize that the world religion of the End Times is already here, slowly tightening its grip. The remarkable thing is that nobody tells you this. Your pastors are silent. The so-called Christian intellectuals waste their breath chasing partisan politics. And the mainstream press dismisses it as the hobby of spiritual cranks. Yet here at Insight to Incite, I pull the curtain back. I show you that behind the bland smiles of global bureaucrats and the gentle marketing of meditation apps lies an old religion whispering through the centuries. When Scripture warns that “in later times some will depart from the faith, devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons” (1 Timothy 4:1), this is what it looks like Theosophy began in the late nineteenth century with Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, a Russian mystic who claimed to receive revelations from “ascended masters.” She wrote fat volumes like Isis Unveiled and The Secret Doctrine which were less books than grimoires, channeled collections of demon-speech. Blavatsky presented herself as a wise woman unveiling a secret gospel hidden for centuries. In reality, she was constructing a demonic system of religion that fused Hindu reincarnation, Buddhist enlightenment, gnostic mysticism, and occult spiritism into one grand counterfeit. Theosophy taught that mankind is evolving through successive “root races.” Each cycle is overseen by these ascended masters, spiritual beings who supposedly guide the progress of humanity toward godhood. There is no need for Christ or His cross in this system. Redemption is not found in His blood but in endless cycles of reincarnation, climbing higher and higher through spiritual ladders until man becomes divine. It is Genesis 3 recycled, the serpent whispering again that “you shall be like gods.” Theosophy baptized this lie in exotic terminology, pulling from India and Tibet to make it sound ancient and noble. It spoke of karma, cosmic brotherhood, and hidden wisdom reserved for initiates. It sounded profound, but it was the same old demonic lie with a new mask. In its pages, Satan himself is recast not as the enemy of mankind but as the liberator of light. Blavatsky once wrote, “It is Satan who is the god of our planet and the only god.” These are not scholarly curiosities. They are the blueprint of Antichrist religion. The genius of Theosophy was that it built a comprehensive theology to rival Christianity. It had a doctrine of creation, where divine sparks were scattered into matter. It had a doctrine of sin, where ignorance and attachment to materiality trapped us in cycles of reincarnation. It had a doctrine of salvation, where spiritual elites revealed esoteric knowledge to help mankind ascend. And it had a doctrine of eschatology, where a final enlightened race would usher in an age of unity and brotherhood. It was a parallel gospel. A false kingdom with false apostles and false promises. Yet unlike many heresies, it was never content to live in the shadows. Theosophy deliberately sought cultural influence. It wanted schools, political movements, publishing houses, and global organizations. Blavatsky’s successors such as Annie Besant, Rudolf Steiner, and Alice Bailey all pushed these ideas into the bloodstream of Western civilization. Bailey even founded the Lucifer Publishing Company, later renamed Lucis Trust, which remains embedded inside the United Nations to this day. What began as a séance in a Russian parlor became a movement that could whisper into the ears of statesmen, educators, and media elites. And it continues to this hour…

Jeffrey Sachs on Judge Napolitano – Prof. Jeffrey Sachs : Is Trump Trapped? Judge Napolitano – Judging Freedom Prof. Jeffrey Sachs : Is Trump Trapped?

Accelerating towards Armageddon as a religious idea – the Samson Doctrine – the Shock Doctrine – New Leak Reveals Israel’s ‘Samson Option’ Includes American Cities on Nuclear Target List A trove of documents released this week, reportedly obtained through a cyberattack on Israeli military intelligence servers, appears to confirm long-speculated claims about Israel’s “Samson Option”—a last-resort nuclear strategy to destroy the world if Israeli existence is threatened. Among the most alarming revelations: a list of nuclear targets that includes major cities in the United States and Europe. The files were reportedly released by Iranian cyber operatives and are currently being examined by multiple Western intelligence agencies. If authenticated, the materials could have profound implications for global diplomacy and nuclear stability. According to security analysts who have reviewed the leaked documents, cities identified in the alleged target list include New York, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, and the NORAD command center in Colorado. Also named are Brussels, Paris, Berlin, Moscow, Beijing, and Tehran. The documents outline a doctrine of “mutual destruction not limited to direct aggressors,” implying that nations deemed complicit or passively supportive of Israel’s hypothetical demise could also be targeted. The “Samson Option” Explained Named after the biblical figure Samson—who brought down a temple, killing himself and his enemies—the doctrine has long been rumored but never officially acknowledged by Israeli authorities. It’s understood by some defense analysts as a form of extreme nuclear deterrence, aimed at preventing any coalition from attempting to eliminate the Israeli state. “This is not traditional deterrence,” said one senior NATO defense advisor speaking on background. “It resembles a diplomatic suicide vest. If the files are real, it shows Israel is prepared to take the rest of the world down with it in the event of existential collapse.”…

Police State UK: Met Police Commissioner wants ZIO-COPS on London streets – takes on political role. Extra armed Police to protect Jews. Is Iran, US war continuing over weekend? Met chief: We need special police force to protect Jews Sir Mark Rowley proposes government-funded unit to tackle anti-Semitism ‘epidemic’ The Metropolitan Police needs a new specialist force to protect Jewish people from “a pandemic of anti-Semitism” in the wake of the Golders Green attack, Sir Mark Rowley has said. On Friday, the Met Commissioner said he had submitted a proposal to Shabana Mahmood, the Home Secretary, for the Government to fund a permanent unit of about 300 extra neighbourhood and armed officers to combat the “epidemic” of anti-Semitism. He said it was not “sustainable” for his force to be “dragging” officers and resources from other parts of London to protect the community after the stabbing of two Jewish men in north London on Wednesday and a surge in arson attacks on synagogues and other Jewish organisations. Sir Mark said he was considering whether to seek to ban two marches next month, one pro-Palestinian and one anti-immigration. It came as Essa Suleiman, 45, a Somali-born British man, was charged with attempted murder over the Golders Green attacks. He was Tasered and arrested by police on Wednesday. “We’re facing a building pandemic of anti-Semitism in society,” said Sir Mark. “My problem is we’re dealing with the policing. We’re dealing with the symptoms of that disease. We need work done to tackle those attitudes in society which are far too prevalent. “But I need the strength in my resources to be able to tackle those symptoms to best effect and reassure Jewish communities that we’re doing everything possible to keep them safe.” Sir Mark said the extra officers would require “sizeable” annual funding from the Home Office, larger than the £25m announced on Thursday to boost policing and other community measures. The money would expand neighbourhood policing teams in Jewish communities, create a new community policing hub and increase teams of detectives to speed up hate crime investigations. This year, the Met has been forced to cut 1,700 officers, police community support officers and staff after it was left with a £260m funding black hole. Sir Mark continued: “We need to target those most at risk. The Jewish community suffers far more hate crimes per capita than any other community in London. We’re going to tip more resources towards it, and we need government support to make that sustainable.”…

‘When strikes become a reality depends on what comes next. Sleep well, European partners!’ Russia warning they may attack UK drone sites. Russia names four UK locations as targets and warns strikes could ‘become a reality’ Russia has issued a direct threat to four UK locations that it says have been aiding Ukraine and contributing to ‘dragging’ Europe into the conflict. Dmitry Medvedev, the former Russian president and Vladimir Putin’s deputy head of security council, released a list of 23 sites he says are now in the crosshairs of the Russian armed forces for supporting Ukraine in the production of attack drones. In a post on X, he wrote: ‘Russian Defense Ministry’s statement must be taken literally: the list of European facilities which make drones & other equipment is a list of potential targets for the Russian armed forces. ‘When strikes become a reality depends on what comes next.

The UK locations identified were Reading, street addresses in London and Leicester, and a road running through the RAF/USAF base in Mildenhall, Suffolk, which is predominantly used by the United States Air Force and commonly referred to as its ‘gateway to the United Kingdom’.

Last hereditary peers given marching orders. Does removing hereditary peers from the Lords benefit Britain? A seismic moment in UK political history has passed with barely a whimper – A thousand years of history has ended with nothing much more in the way of ceremonial pomp and circumstance than a short speech by a former minister in the Thatcher government, Michael Forsyth, now speaker of the House of Lords, and an appreciative post on X by the leader of the opposition, Kemi Badenoch. And so, with the end of this session of parliament, the remaining hereditary peers have finally departed their gilded chamber with its red benches and royal thrones, no longer legislators for the common people. It’s a moment, as they say, if a muted one. Some 115 years after the first serious assault on their privileges, what Lloyd George called “Mr Balfour’s poodle” because of its obedience to the wishes of the then Tory party leader, has been finally euthanised. What have we gained? Well, it has to be said that the House of Lords is no more democratic now than it was before, and it is now a wholly appointed chamber – no one has elected any of them. The 2024 Labour manifesto promised an “immediate modernisation” to “remove the right of hereditary peers to sit and vote in the House of Lords”. However, not much seems to be happening on “replacing the House of Lords with an alternative second chamber that is more representative of the regions and nations”. Certain Labour peers have also objected to the mandatory retirement age of 80, because they’ve only really just got going. What have we lost? Undeniably an incredible, almost unbroken, thread of history. Interrupted only by the relatively brief Cromwellian Commonwealth in the 1660s, there has been some sort of assembly of “nobles” to advise the monarch since the 11th-century Witan – “an Anglo-Saxon political body made up of councils consulted by Saxon kings and attended by religious leaders, magnates and the king’s ministers”, according to the official parliamentary record. The oldest peerage with a seat in the Lords until this week could be said to be that of the Lord Great Chamberlain, created in 1126. Some of the various peers that have now departed argue that the public service their families have furnished over centuries gives them a stake in the nation’s fortunes and a truly long-term vision of what the country is all about. Aside from such mysticism and sentimentality, some of the hereditaries brought expertise to the role and took their job of lifelong legislators and defenders of the constitution seriously. It is certainly striking to see, until now, familiar names from history, in the form of their descendants, still playing a role on the national stage – the Duke of Wellington, Lord Russell, Viscount Astor, Earl Attlee and so on….

Ousting of Iranian Shah in 1979 not all it seems? article. Were BP behind the 1979 Iranian revolution? William Engdahl book on Shah. At the time, the Shah was negotiating a 25-year oil agreement with British Petroleum (BP), but talks broke down in October. BP demanded exclusive rights to future Iranian output but refused to guarantee oil purchases. The Shah balked and was on the verge of independently seeking new buyers with eager ones lined up in Germany, France, Japan and elsewhere. Washington and London were alarmed and acted. They implemented destabilization plans, starting with cutting Iranian oil purchases. Economic pressures followed, and trained US and UK agitators exacerbated them by fanning religious discontent and overall turmoil. Oil strikes as well were used. They crippled production and made things worse. American security advisors recommended Iran’s Savak secret police use repressive tactics to maximize antipathy to the Shah. The Carter administration cynically protested human rights abuses, and BBC correspondents exaggerated anti-Shah protests to rev up hysteria against him. At the same time, it gave Khomeini an open platform to speak and prevented the Shah from replying. Things came to a head in January, 1979 when he fled the country, and Khomeini returned to Tehran and proclaimed a theocratic state. Chaos was unleashed, and by May the new regime cancelled plans for further nuclear reactor development. At the same time, Iran’s oil exports were cut off, and the Saudis inexplicably cut their own in January. Spot prices skyrocketed, and a second oil shock ensued that was as deviously conceived as the first one. Then it got worse. In October, newly appointed Fed Chairman Paul Volker unleashed a new scheme that turned calamity into catastrophe by design. It was a radical new monetary policy on the pretext of “squeezing inflation out of the system.” In fact, it was made-in-Washington fraud to preserve dollar hegemony, make it the world’s most sought currency, and crush industrial growth to let political and financial power prop up dollar strength. Volker succeeded by raising interest rates from 10% to 16% and finally 20% in weeks. World policy makers were stunned, economies plunged into the deepest recession since the 1930s, and the dollar began an extraordinary five year ascent. The combined effect of oil and Volker shocks took “the bloom off the nuclear rose” and ended its threat to Anglo-American oil supremacy. And if more was needed it came on March 28, 1979 in the middle of Pennsylvania at a place called Three Mile Island. Conveniently, at the same time The China Syndrome was released that fictionalized the ongoing event. The combined effect was public hysteria, and later investigation revealed critical valves had illegally been closed. In addition, FEMA controlled all news to create panic. The scheme worked, and Anglo-American supremacy was reasserted over the industrial and financial world. Nothing is stable forever, however, and within a decade new rumblings would be felt.

Toxic waste on Duchy Estate land in Wigan.  King’s private estate tried to sell land with UK’s ‘worst illegal waste dump’ to council KING Charles’s private estate tried to sell land that was contaminated with a large rotting illegal waste dump to a local authority, it has emerged. In January, a 25,000-ton site described as the UK’s “worst illegal waste dump” in Bickershaw, Wigan, was revealed to be largely on land owned by the Duchy of Lancaster, the King’s extensive private portfolio of properties and estates. Previously, the Duchy said it had offered to transfer the land to Wigan Council in July last year. However, a Freedom of Information Request by Channel 4 News found that the Duchy tried to sell the site to the local authority at full market price. The Duchy previously claimed that it is, in effect, exempt from regulations and duties to clean the site on account of an ancient feudal legal framework dating back some 750 years. Then in February, following revelations that the toxic illegal landfill was largely on the Duchy’s land, the estate followed up the offer to the council, offering to transfer the land for free. “We have discussed the matter with the Duchy Solicitor, who has confirmed the Duchy will transfer the property to the Council for nil value and with each party bearing their own costs in the hope that that will assist the Council in dealing with the property in conjunction with its own adjoining land,” the Duchy wrote. In the revealed correspondence, emails from the Duchy’s solicitors, Farrer & Co, show, in addition to the transfer offer, that the Duchy attempted to sell the contaminated land at market value to the council. In July, the Duchy reportedly wrote: “… it may be possible to sell the land to you. Any sale would have to be at open market value and the Duchy of Lancaster’s valuers, and our costs would have to be paid as well.” Wigan Council told Channel 4 News on Monday that it “respectfully declined” the Duchy’s offer. A Duchy of Lancaster spokesperson told Channel 4 News: “We continue to work with Wigan Council to try and find an effective resolution to the illegal waste site.” Last month, Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham said that the Duchy’s plan to hand contaminated land to the local council is “not an acceptable response”. The UK Government has since announced it will fund the clean-up of the Wigan site, although it has yet to begin…

March 2020 – BCfm’s weekly Politics Show presented by Tony Gosling with Irish Republican Labour activist Martin Summers was forced off FM, now online only by station manager Pat Hart. He decided the show should be ‘rested, due to the pandemic’ on 24 March 2020 and then refused to communicate at all when we requested to do the show remotely. Bristol Community FM (BCfm) charity ‘CEO’ Patrick Hart is a longtime personal friend of Bristol’s all-powerful right-wing ‘Labour’ mayor Marvin Rees. Now on Internet only NOT The BCfm Politics Show is available 17:00-c. 21:00 live on Fridays. Pat Hart replaced us with an inane student show repeating MSM stories called The Bristol Agenda.

February 2019 – Ofcom complaint result: UKLFI exposed as creation of Israeli foreign ministryBristol 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!
