So Brexitier Crispin Odey avoided the sexual assault charge yet was naughty enough to be fined over a million pounds...hmmmm....

"The 66-year-old Conservative and Brexit donor intends to challenge the decision, which relates to his behaviour between December 2021 and November 2022, in the upper tribunal."

All the usual suspects are suddenly experts in Mental Health, none of them are reflecting the reality, but it's easier to blame the Disabled that Tax The Rich, isn't it?

Sharing this also for "Tony Blair, whose transformation into know-nothing golf-club pontificator is still startling after all this time "

Fine, it doesn’t look like the most expert job of managing the optics. But it has also left as many as 10 million people sleepless with worry, because the world this government describes bears no relation to the reality they are living in. As of last October, there were 3.6 million personal independence payment (Pip) claimants. Eligibility is stringent. The idea - last floated by Tony Blair, whose transformation into know-nothing golf-club pontificator is still startling after all this time - that we are “medicalising the ups and downs of life”, handing out diagnoses and sickness benefits to people who just feel a bit sad, is fanciful. According to the 2021 census, there are 5.8 million unpaid carers in the UK, 1.2 million of those living in poverty, 400,000 in deep poverty. A report by the Social Metrics Commission found that, of the 14.9 ‘million people living in poverty in the UK in 2021-22, 8.6 million were in families that included a disabled person.

A Sweet Gentleman

The powerful and wealthy group of fascists who carried Trump to the presidency are now trying to do the same in Europe.

Please Europe, fight them better than we did!

DeSmog · Heritage Foundation and Allies Discuss Dismantling the EUThe group that drafted a key blueprint for Donald Trump’s second term convened a meeting in Washington D.C. this week to consider proposals for bulldozing the European Union (EU). The Polish investigative outlet VSquare revealed that the Heritage Foundation gathered hardline conservative groups on 11 March to hear how they would overhaul the current structures […]

But not Gilead. Gilead is outside this. Don't be saving a chair for them and letting them in all the secrets Starmer and Lammy, even though you want to sell this all out to Washington for a kind word.

I'd rather Macron or somebody else who gets it were leading this, Starmer is Neville Chamberlain looking to compromise with Fascism.

"Coalition of the Willing" sounds so mid effort and half arsed...

3hago 1319 GMT No 10 says more than 30 countries now involved in coalition of willing’ plan for Ukraine - some with troops, more in other ways Downing Street has said that more than 30 countries could be involved in the “coalition of the willing” plan to provide military support to Ukraine in the event of a peace deal. ‘The PM’s spokesperson said Keir Starmer said, after the virtual summit that he hosted on Saturday, that different countries would be offering different capabilities. The spokesperson went on: 44 In relation to what the coalition are willing to be able to provide, we're expecting more than 30 countries to be involved, but obviously the contribution capabilities will vary. But this will be a significant force, with significant number of countries providing troops, and a larger group contributing in other ways.
As an example of how countries could contribute without providing troops, the spokesperson said: A For instance, if one country was able to provide fast jets to Ukraine, it’s not just the jets that you need to think about. Where those jets get fuel? Where they’ll be based? How they dock into the wider military activity on the ground? Who's providing engineering support? Whether those jets have come off a deployment where another country is required to backfill the deployment? Where those crews are being house? How we’re rotating them in and out? How we can improve any airfields required for landing? That’s the sort of detail that the military partners will be getting into. Asked how many countries were willing to provide troops, the spokesperson would not go beyond saying a “significant number”. When it was put to the spokesperson that only 27 countries participated in the online summit on Saturday, he said that some of the countries willing to contribute to the “coalition of the willing” were not available for the call on Saturday.
