The Starmer Years - Can The New Broom Sweep Clean?
badgerx16 replied to sadoldgit's topic in The Lounge
You are beginning to show progress. -
I have just watched a video where somebody who had published an April Fool story a few years ago, has had to explain that although it has become part of some established texts, it remains a hoax. The problem has been that the original was published on 01/04/2014, which Americans have subsequently taken as January 4th, and they persist in telling him his story is fact..

The Starmer Years - Can The New Broom Sweep Clean?

No it isn't true. There are recommendations from the Sentencing Council, which provides guidance for Judges, to look differently on people from ethnic minorities, to "balance" the Justice system, but the Government has said that if these guidelines are introduced, Parliament will pass legislation to prevent them being enacted. -
Kemi tries, and fails, in an April Fool's jest.

https://www.ctvnews.ca/montreal/article/climate-of-fear-montreal-doctor-says-nyu-cancelled-her-presentation/ "A Montreal doctor says her presentation at NYU was abruptly cancelled and believes the university did so out of fear of being pressured by the Donald Trump administration. Dr. Joanne Liu, the former international president of Doctors Without Borders, said the abrupt cancellation speaks to the “climate of fear” universities in the U.S. are now living under in which they preemptively “self-censor” themselves to avoid retaliation." "Liu, a pediatric emergency physician at Sainte-Justine Hospital and professor at McGill University’s School of Population and Global Health, was due to give a presentation on challenges in humanitarian crises on March 19 at NYU, her alma mater. " " The night before the presentation, she said she got a call from the vice chair of the education department who had raised concerns with the contents. A couple of the slides in her presentation touched on the casualties in Gaza during the Israel-Hamas war as well as the cuts at the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Liu said she was told the slides about Gaza “could be perceived as antisemitic” while the USAID section might be perceived as “anti governmental.” Liu, who was already in New York when she got the call, offered to make edits to those slides but then three hours later, after some deliberations, she said the university apologized and said they had to cancel."

Trump said a couple of days ago, after appointing his personal lawyer as the US Attorney for New Jersey, that he expected the Courts to go after "very bad people of crime". He also said he had pardoned a convicted fraudster because "he was one of the first people to support a gentleman called Donald Trump for President". Having removed the Associated Press from the White House press corps, because they refused to refer to the Gulf of Mexico by another name, he has appointed in their place a right wing blogger who has received hundreds of thousands of dollars from the Kremlin to parrot Russian propaganda. Trump following Putin's playbook, page by page.

ICE have started revoking people's visas without informing them, so that the first they know of it is when they are snatched off the street by ICE agents and shipped to an out of State prison, which means that they are denied any access to lawyers or due process, and their friends and families have no idea where they are.

Ukraine may have to choose which dictator it wants as overlord; https://www.lbc.co.uk/world-news/donald-trump-control-ukraine-critical-minerals-energy/ "A new draft US deal sent to Kyiv on Sunday reportedly sets out the fresh requirements, which include no security guarantees for Ukraine, The Financial Times reports. Senior Ukrainian officials told the outlet the proposal could undermine the country's sovereignty and ramp up its dependence on the US. The draft reportedly states that the United States-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund will control Ukraine’s “critical minerals or other minerals, oil, natural gas (including liquified [sic] natural gas), fuels or other hydrocarbons and other extractable materials”. It says the US will also control infrastructure linked to natural resources “including, but not limited to, roads, rail, pipelines and other transportation assets; ports, terminals and other logistics facilities and refineries, processing facilities, natural gas liquefaction and/or regasification facilities and similar assets”. The new draft mark a huge increase on Trump's demands in an initial minerals deal accord drawn up earlier this month."

One of the Venezuelans deported to El Salvador for being a violent gang member was picked up by ICE because of his 'gang related' tattoos. He has 2 tattoos, one says "Brother" alongside his brother's name, and the other, alleged to denote gang membership, is an autism awareness ribbon.

Europe has still not weaned itself off Russian oil and gas.

Given Putin's comments this morning regarding the Ukrainian Government, maybe Zelensky should suggest that there is a democratic election in Russia, under the supervision of the UN, and then peace talks could take place with Russia's new 'legitimate' leadership.
