02104-25 Fraser v Telegraph.co.uk - IPSO Ian Fraser complained to the Independent Press Standards Organisation that Telegraph.co.uk breached Clause 1 (Accuracy) of the Editors’ Code of Practice in an article headlined “We earn £345k, but soa...

This IPSO adjudication against the Telegraph is quite something

Confirms their story titled: ‘We earn £345k, but soaring private school fees mean we can’t go on five holidays’ was completely fabricated, with the family involved non-existent and stock pictures used

This is an illegal, unprovoked and brutal attack that shows once again that the USA and Israel are rogue states.

The UK must end our cosy relationship with the USA and our ongoing support for Israel.

NEW. This is an elementary girls school in the city of Hormozgan in Iran.

In the last hour, it was hit by a US/Israeli missile attack.

So far, 24 young girls are confirmed dead [SOURCE: Al Jazeera].

The US has just committed a war crime.

IT specialist hired to help Border Patrol was instead arrested by them A Venezuelan immigrant spent 30 days at “Alligator Alcatraz” after being “approved” to do work at the Dania Beach Border Patrol station.

Systems engineer Juan Carlos was lured to a Border Patrol station under the guise of an IT emergency only to be ambushed and detained for 30 days despite being a legal asylum seeker, spouse of a U.S. citizen and father of U.S. citizen children with no criminal record.

A sickening federal ambush.

“I heard the officer say ‘that ain’t shit’.”

NASHVILLE — ICE shatter a car window in front of a newborn, refuse to look at man’s license & work visa… drag him out of his car, hit him, mock him for being Guatemalan (he’s from Mexico), laugh when he begs to say goodbye.

Palantir sues magazine that revealed Switzerland rejected its approaches Peter Thiel-chaired data intelligence group alleges that Republik did not give it sufficient right to reply

"The report, reviewed by the FT, decided against using Palantir technology for Swiss military data since there was a risk that US authorities could gain access to the sensitive files."

Yet here Labour continues to shove public money down its throat.

The average amount that the private sector could afford to pay its 19.6m workers is £32,000.

That's how much average profit they make on every worker.

It will never be enough for them, and little enough for you.

‘No one deserves this’: Beaverton father dies after deportation to Mexico A Beaverton family is grieving after the father, who was detained and deported by ICE, has now died.

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported.

He finally died.

I am so angry.

In case you missed it ...
Natural changes in demographics and the lived experience of Brexit mean there's now a majority of 8 million for rejoining the EU. And that's without any real campaigning on the issue! Everyone knows that Brexit was an attack on the EU by Putin and the Epstein Class.

Leaving the ECHR will not allow you to deport all Asylum Seekers, you can't deport a person without the other country accepting them.

But it will allow the State Pension, Minimum Wage, Paid Holiday, Max Working Hours, Maternity Leave and much more to be cancelled.

98% of the people being kidnapped and tortured in Core Civic for-profit concentration camps have never been charged with any crime.

BTW, the 2% of people who have been charged with a crime shouldn’t be there either.

If your holdings 💰 include Core Civic or Palantir,

you are complicit

I really hope people advocating to ban kids from SM read this. Some kids are isolated by disabilities or circumstances. Furthermore, some kids grow up in abusive households. “Ideally, a child’s exposure to online worlds should be moderated by their parents” isn’t a reassuring sentiment for everyone

Private equity owns lion’s share of children’s foster ser... Three London firms are now the biggest players in the provision of foster carers in England

Private equity owns lion’s share of children’s foster services in England, ‘bleeding the sector of money’.

Profits margins of 19%. Money extracted in interest payments, intragroup charges. Children suffer.

Ban profit-taking entities from foster services.
