“Our NHS“…
“Scientists have grown an entity very close to a human embryo — without using sperm, eggs or a womb.
The embryo even released enough of the hormone pregnant women produce that turns a pregnancy test positive, resulting in a positive test result in the lab.
Researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel made the complete models of human embryos from stem cells generated in the lab after building on previous research where they had made mouse embryos.“

“The simulacrum of the human” creates another simulacrum of the human…
Yes, but other US Presidential candidates are also saying that they want to pull away from the Ukraine situation (thank God).
Is that the best the rotten “Conservative” Party can come up with, yet another attack on the sick and disabled etc? Yes, there are some fraudulent claims, but the vast majority are not fraudulent.
Basic Income has to come, and with it an end to this nasty and pointless “jump through hoops or starve” way of running a “welfare” system.
As for Andrew Pierce, if ever an msm scribbler deserved a kicking, it must be him.
What kind of system targets the sick and disabled? This one; the UK’s one.
What a disgrace.

Moreover, most of the jobs on any of the websites noted above will also be on the others. The total is probably only around 15,000; perhaps not even as many as that.
A typical “Jack Monroe” supporter: not “poor” (in fact, quite comfortably-off), a pseudo-socialist virtue signaller, living in comfortable surroundings, extremely rude, and “of a certain age”…[“Laura Davies: over 30 years’ experience in cross-sectoral and cross-organisational strategic planning and delivery.

Probably one of the Common Purpose rabble too.

If that were to happen (which I doubt)— goodbye Kiev…
What a monkeyhouse; even worse than Westminster.
“Western sanctions against Russia hurt Europe itself Europe, like the rest of the world, confrontation with Russia is not cheap, writes The Telegraph. The confrontation has led to rising costs of living across the continent, runaway inflation and economic stagnation, and politically it is increasingly dividing the region.
As another winter approaches, European energy prices are rising again, exposing cracks in the economy once again. There is growing concern in Germany about the damage the conflict is doing to the country’s once well-oiled economic machine, partly dependent on cheap energy supplies from Russia.
The belief that Europe can emerge from the situation relatively unscathed has always been a self-deception, the author of the material summed up. Also illusory were the expectations that sanctions would break Putin. After all, the European economy continues to weaken, and over time, sanctions can finish it off.”

Thank you. However I cannot reply to you, because the matter is sub judice.

I understand. What amazes me is the number of crimes-assaults that some of these people perpetrate before being denounced or arrested.

Well, without reference to the specific case in the newspapers, and just speaking generally, I think that I can say that I saw quite a lot when I was a “first six months” (out of twelve months) Bar pupil, in 1992. About half of the “pupilmaster’s” practice was criminal— robbery, GBH, blackmail, fraud etc. We often had defendants whose “previous” (convictions) took up literally a dozen *pages*.
In the UK, as in many countries, first-time or second-time defendants, and the young generally, are treated leniently unless their crimes are such that they cannot be (eg murder). Often, as a trainee barrister, one found a certain progression: police cautions, small fines, probation, community service (unpaid work), suspended sentences. Only later were actual prison sentences given, or “youth detention”, i.e. a kind of prison for those 16-18 mainly.
Often, there would be about 20 convictions before the first actual prison sentence. Bearing in mind that, in some cases, there are 10, 20, or more crimes before someone even gets arrested and convicted, the first prison sentence *might* only come after about 200-400 crimes had been perpetrated. The variation is huge, though, of course.
Also, there is often a progression in the types of crimes committed by an individual over time: small thefts, other “minor” crimes, taking cars for rides, perhaps assaults, perhaps domestic burglary, but then moving to GBH, robberies, armed robberies etc.

Those Canadian idiots who believed they would topple a ruthless, tyrannical government by putting together some hundreds of trucks blowing their horns got what they deserved.
Obviously, most Anglo-Americans have this idiotic mindset which makes them believe that some stupid demonstrations will force the government’s hand. Oh, really?
This stupid belief stems from the traditional respect for the essentially corrupt democratic system that the Brits and Americans always had. Having said, the system provided fairly good living conditions and services to the masses until, let’s say the 1970s. However, the essentially evil nature of the (((capitalist))) system destroyed that by encouraging greed and grift. Something that has been perfectly capture in the film “Wall Street”, where the Jew Michael Dougles plays a villain who, of course, it is Aryan, although his character is 100% Jewish.
Do you remember his famous line? “Greed is good”. Well, it was taken from a speech by the Jew Ivan Boesky. In this article (((they))) admiten that Douglas’ character “Gekko” was based on several “American” crooks, who, what a surprise! were ALL Jewish

Well, after all, “Gekko”, or at least “gecko”, is a kind of lizard…
Yes, Canadians have, until recently, believed that they lived in a kind of “free country”, like the citizens of the USA and, indeed, even the UK. You cannot completely blame them for their naivety.
