“Alarming details of bone cancer said to have hit the late Queen”
“The disease develops when cells in or near a bone develop DNA change that cause them to rapidly divide and multiply too rapidly.”
I take it she was up to date with all her vaccines and boosters?
Shame, she may have out aged her mother otherwise!
“Badenoch quit her job instead of taking maternity leave
Kemi amply demonstrating that she cannot conceive of peoples situations other than her own. Another self-centred loser…
Bang on! I used to like Kemi but not now
Taking aim a reform voters is an insult to them, as the so called opposition she should be aiming at Labour not reform, bollicks to her, tories are finished!
The CJ Hopkins conviction in Germany is really stunning.
Germans should be ashamed of their country. Deeply ashamed.
True, and is Reiner Fuellmich still in custody (famous for his Corona Trial and weekly discussions)?
But UK should also be ashamed of holding Julian Assange for how many years?
Indeed it should.
Reform are not real conservatives or serious people, says Badenoch
‘They want a big state’
Their leader said he “admired” Putin “as a political operator because he’s managed to take control of running Russia”
This is how Putin managed to take control of running Russia:
Poison and assassination
Official documents obtained by the Insider confirm Navalny was poisoned in prison
‘A collection of files at The Insider’s disposal contains two versions of a document signed by Russian investigator Alexander Varapaev……..convict A.A. Navalny lay down on the floor and began to complain of sharp pain in the abdominal area; he started reflexive ejection of his stomach contents, had convulsions, and lost consciousness, which was immediately reported to the medical staff of the correctional facility…..The symptoms described by Varapaev are consistent with those that would have been expected had Navalny been poisoned…….“in the last minutes before his death, [Alexei] complained of acute pain in his stomach.’
‘According to ER doctor Alexander Polupan, who treated Navalny in Omsk City Hospital No. 1 after the Novichok poisoning in 2020, the symptoms observed by medical professionals in the case of Navalny’s death in prison in 2024 do not fit with the officially declared diagnosis:
“The official cause of death —… Read more »
Where is the evidence that these are real documents? Navalny simply weasn’t ever a threat to Putin, his role in Russian politics has been grossly inflated by the Western intelligence agencies and their client MSM.
‘The Insider has obtained access to hundreds of official documents related to Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny’s death in the Polar Wolf penal colony in the Russian Far North on Feb. 16, 2024. Officially, Navalny’s death was attributed to natural causes, and Russia’s Investigative Committee stated in July that the case “does not have a criminal nature.” However, the contents of the documents in The Insider’s possession demonstrate that Russian authorities consistently removed references to symptoms Navalny was documented to have been suffering — symptoms that did not fit with the Russian state’s official cause of death. As medical experts confirm, these symptoms clearly indicate that Navalny was poisoned.’
The insider article shows copies of some of the documents.
Those who dispute their veracity should state any grounds they might have for adopting that position and take it up with ‘The Insider’.
I am sorry to say this but it is for the promoter of conspiracy theories to offer more proof than the fact that some journalist says these are copies of the real genuine documents. Don’t you realise how silly that sounds.
Real documents are what we call ‘real documents’.
If someone does not believe those documents to be, in fact, real despite photographic evidence to the contrary but can offer no reason for suggesting that they are not real, they are either just being dotty, quite normal on here, or are simply idle uninformed bigots too lazy to even look at the photographs of the very documents whose veracity they question.
Idle uninformed bigotry is an extremely unattractive combination……..
I see you are addressing this comment to Munro. Spot on about bigotry.
As I say, lazy, uninformed bigotry, particularly when accompanied by silly pettiness, is a very bad look indeed.
I wonder how many teachers are Leftards and of the ”refugees welcome” type, because they’re at the coal face and seeing the effects of uncontrolled migration from cultures with incompatible values that refuse to assimilate first hand. You read similar accounts from various European countries. This is Belgium;
”The subject is extremely sensitive. As proof, the people who agreed to testify requested anonymity. “ The slightest misstep can be misinterpreted. I don’t want my child’s throat to be slit ,” confides Alicia, a principal. “ We’re at the point where teachers no longer dare to talk about certain things. There are subjects that have become taboo.”
For several years, teachers have witnessed a rejection of scientific, historical and commonly accepted concepts: infinity in mathematics, the theory of evolution, secularism, gender equality, the human body… are said to be in contradiction with the values of Islam. “I only hear ‘It’s haram’ in class (Editor’s note: “It’s forbidden” in Arabic),” says Maud, a history teacher for 39 years. “ Some students tell me that I don’t have the right to talk about Islam, that I’m not qualified to talk about religion.”
The university is not spared from the phenomenon. Recently, the rector of the VUB warned about the… Read more »
It’s funny how it takes something happening to your immediate family which acts as a wake-up call when for years you’ve ignored the much worse plight of women and men who’ve suffered as a result of the policies you support. Suddenly this Green Party minister isn’t so pro-immigration anymore;
”Agricultural Minister Cem Özdemir, of the far-left Green Party, has sparked a fierce debate in Germany after calling for the country to rethink its migration policy and claims his daughter is being sexually harassed by men with a “migration background.”
Özdemir did not just make the comments offhand during an interview, but actually wrote them out in a guest column for FAZ, writing that his daughter, who is graduating from school next year, faces harassment from migrants and men with a migration background.
“When she is out and about in the city, she or her friends are often unpleasantly stared at or sexualized by men with a migrant background,” he wrote.
The father writes that his daughter has developed a “thick skin” due to these attacks, “but I can feel how it bothers her,” he wrote, adding “how disappointed she is that the underlying issues are not addressed more openly: the patriarchal… Read more »
From my perspective, 2the patriarchal structures and the role of women in many Islamic countries.” are completely irrelevant to me. If that is how they want to live, then let them. I am only bothered about how we live.
Superior intelligence is knowing something before it happens rather than after it has happened. Cem Özdemir should have known what would happen with open borders and especially when underpinned with multi-culturalism.
