It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

Just 0.001% hold three times the wealth of poorest half of humanity, report finds
Data from World Inequality Report also showed top 10% of income-earners earn more than the other 90%
Fewer than 60,000 people – 0.001% of the world’s population – control three times as much wealth as the entire bottom half of humanity, according to a report that argues global inequality has reached such extremes that urgent action has become essential.
The authoritative World Inequality Report 2026, based on data compiled by 200 researchers, also found that the top 10% of income-earners earn more than the other 90% combined, while the poorest half captures less than 10% of total global earnings. Continue reading...

If there is to be a grubby "peace deal" prepare for all the other mass graves to stay hidden forever.
Furthermore prepare for extrajudicial murders by the FSB inside Ukraine for years, and partisan attacks on occupied territories too.

NHS leader calls for revival of mask-wearing amid ‘tidal wave’ of flu
NHS Providers chief urges better infection control, while No 10 stresses choice and Kemi Badenoch warns against mask mandate
People experiencing flu or cold symptoms should wear a mask in public places as the UK grapples with a “tidal wave” of illness, an NHS leader has said.
Daniel Elkeles, chief executive of NHS Providers, which represents NHS trusts, said the country is seeing a “very nasty strain of flu” that has occurred earlier in the year than normal, and face coverings should be worn on public transport, as during the Covid pandemic. Continue reading...

To be honest, I never ever remember anyone making jokes about the holocaust in the 70s.
I DO remember the police guarding hundreds of NF members doing a Nazi salute on the roof of a pub opposite the Rock Against Racism concert in Victoria Park
They weren’t joking
Real Nazis are still around

I remember the kids who made "jokey" Hitler salutes in school. They were utter cunts in every other aspect of their personalities, too.
It's not an excuse, it's a confession.

You know I actually find it really intriguing that a bunch of British upper class people are coming out of the closet to admit that as children they made "jokey" Hitler salutes, because I was once (if in another country) the child on the receiving end of that kind of "jokey" antisemitism.
