“Were the builders of Stonehenge black?”
We don’t have a definitive understanding of how and why Stonehenge was built. However we do know it was dark skinned people, who presumably liked some reggae on the radio as they worked and a can or two of Red Stripe when they knocked off for the day.?
Quite.
What a stupidly pointless and divisive story, as if anybody with a life could gaf.
I think the description of the skin might be dirty and weatherbeaten.
I believe soap and hot water were severely rationed during this period as our ancestors were fighting climate change.
“Possessing photos of Muslim woman without hijab should be criminalised”
Just when you think you’ve seen it all…you are reminded that this will never stop. There will always be a ‘next thing’ to ban or criminalise, until our entire lives are regulated into total submission.
Absolutely correct. How much more special treatment do the followers of Islam require when they come to Europe? They already have any criticism of their religion banned, they already demanded a new word be invented to protect them, it seems to me they’re incredibly powerful now, but as our churches are empty this is the result…..
Do not forget the muzzie enablers – politicians and DIE Daleks.
I wonder hot Apple will know if photos uploaded to its Photo App are of Muslim women. How will online photo printing businesses know.
Ican foresee a lot of daft litigation and the withdrawal of useful services as a result of this.
Right, if you want your photo removed, just convert to Islam for the day.
“Rapists who groomed and attacked vulnerable teenage girls are jailed”

Of course he will…
He’s virtually an Iman !!
“Rishi Sunak says that the European court “does need to reform or we should leave””
Don’t remember him saying that or more importantly doing anything about it while he was PM.
“Rishi Sunak says Britain should abandon its legal commitment to deliver carbon neutrality”
OK, so what did you do about this while you were PM?
Quite.
But the important point is he feels he can safely say it.
Ergo, the Overton window has shifted significantly.
Which means the writing is on the wall for mad Ed.
Maybe there’s a chance of salvaging something of the UK economy.
Good point. Trump and his victory has shifted the window, and Tories are under pressure from Reform.
I just hope it doesn’t signal his desire to retake the Tories as an answer to Reform.
As Badenough sinks further after each PMQs.
I find myself thinking fondly of Rishi now, then I have to give myself a good slap to remind myself of him standing in the rain, exposing his real self – dripping wet.
I assumed he would walk away from UK elected politics after his apparent throwing of the 2024 election, but maybe not. I think it’s inevitable that the Tories will pretend to tack to the right – that is why it was important that they be destroyed as a credible force at the last election. But six million chumps voted for them so they still appear important to people.
I have stated time and time again here on DS that the Tories must be destroyed. No ifs or buts but Destroyed.
Agree 100% – they are done. My worry is why Reform aren’t pushing much, much harder on all these madcap things happening
Starmer and Macron consider accompanying Zelensky to White House
Why is Zelensky so antagonistic to people who call Putin a friend?:
‘Rights activists, journalists have documented a widespread campaign that saw Ukrainian children taken from occupied Ukrainian territories.’
‘Russian authorities engaged in a “systematic program of coerced adoption and fostering.’
‘In the wake of (the Russian) withdrawal, Ukrainian officials and journalists found hundreds of dead civilians in the town of Bucha, killed by gunshot, some with bound hands, bodies dumped into alleyways or basements.’
‘Using air- and sea-launched cruise missiles, kamikaze drones, and other weapons, Russia has pummeled Ukrainian infrastructure in what officials say is a deliberate effort to demoralize and exhaust the population. The electricity grid — power stations, transformers, transmission lines — has been hit repeatedly to try to freeze Ukrainians during winter months.’
‘At least 71 Ukrainian POWs have been executed by Russian or Russian-linked forces since February 2022’
‘Russian forces frequently use ‘double-tap’ strikes; they attack a location, wait 30–40 minutes for rescuers, police, and prosecutors to arrive, then strike again’
Like IRA used to do.
And your independent evidence is?
‘Yale HRL has identified 314 individual children from Ukraine who have been placed in Russia’s systematic program of coerced adoption and fostering following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
Russia’s system of coerced adoption and fostering has been ordered and facilitated by President Vladimir Putin and Presidential Commissioner for Children’s Rights in the Russian Federation Maria Lvova-Belova.
Russia’s officials listed children from Ukraine in Russia’s child placement databases following Russia’s illegal annexation of portions of the internationally recognized territory of Ukraine in September 2022.
Russia’s Aerospace Forces and aircraft under the direct control of President Putin’s office transported multiple groups of children from Ukraine on Russian Federation-flagged military transport planes for placement with citizens of Russia between May and October 2022.
At least 67 of the 314 children from Ukraine have been naturalized as Russian citizens since being taken to Russia, although Yale HRL can reasonably assume that the number of formally naturalized children is significantly higher.
At least 208 of the 314 children identified have been placed for adoption or guardianship with citizens of Russia, have been temporarily placed with citizens of Russia, or have had a citizen of Russia appointed as their guardian. Following legal changes introduced between May 2022 and April 2023, Russian citizens who are the legal guardians of minors from Ukraine have been empowered to apply for Russian citizenship and renounce Ukrainian citizenship on the minor’s behalf.
Approximately half (46.6%) of the children identified have siblings with known names listed in the databases at the same time. In at least one case,
At least 80.4% of children from Ukraine listed in Russia’s databases have been taken from Donetsk oblast. Lvova-Belova stated that the so-called DPR would be the first region in Ukraine connected to Russia’s federal child placement database.
Children taken from Ukraine were transferred to various midpoint locations within Russia, including four temporary accommodation centers and schools in Kursk and Rostov oblasts, before being listed on Russia’s federal databases or directly placed with citizens of Russia.
Children from Ukraine have been subjected to pro-Russia re-education at each of the eight known institutions to which children were transferred prior to being subsequently listed on Russia’s databases.
Agencies operating Russia’s databases would later limit what personally identifiable information was publicly available about children in the databases. In some instances, the profiles of children from Ukraine have been retroactively amended to reflect that they were available for both guardianship and adoption, whereas they previously had only been listed for guardianship.
Data with investigative significance, including profile data of children from Ukraine and Russian media reports about the transfer, has been removed at various points prior to 15 August 2024. These profile changes and content removal follows the issuance of arrest warrants by the International Criminal Court (ICC) against Vladimir Putin and Maria Lvova-Belova in March 2023.’

That is at least the third time you have dragged up the ‘totally unbiased’ Yale report on 314 children so I will not bore everyone by repeating my answer to this propaganda. And, as for your report of numerous war crimes that Ukrainian sources, who committed the crimes, project in the name of propaganda on to the Russians, we will see what happens when Zelensky finally falls and is dragged in front of the Russian courts to personally face innumerable charges of war crimes himself.
‘About Defendant
Born on 7 October 1952, President of the Russian Federation.
Accused LastName
Vladimirovich Putin
Accused FirstName
Vladimir
Charges
Allegedly responsible for the war crime of unlawful deportation of population (children) and that of unlawful transfer of population (children) from occupied areas of Ukraine to the Russian Federation (under articles 8(2)(a)(vii) and 8(2)(b)(viii) of the Rome Statute). The crimes were allegedly committed in Ukrainian occupied territory at least from 24 February 2022. There are reasonable grounds to believe that Mr Putin bears individual criminal responsibility for the aforementioned crimes, (i) for having committed the acts directly, jointly with others and/or through others (article 25(3)(a) of the Rome Statute), and (ii) for his failure to exercise control properly over civilian and military subordinates who committed the acts, or allowed for their commission, and who were under his effective authority and control, pursuant to superior responsibility (article 28(b) of the Rome Statute).’
Alledgedly responsible! Reasonable grounds (reasonability depends on viewpoint). Didn’t they bring a similar accusation against Netanyahu? How has that gone down?
All the crimes you list were performed by Ukrainians who then ‘project’ their crimes on to Russians. For example, here is a Patrick Lancaster video where a hospital surgeon describes in December 2023 an example of your ‘double-tap’ strike performed by Ukrainians on citizens of Donetsk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmc2cA3iKKg from 5m50s onwards.
Removing children from a war zone? It’s called evacuation. We did it in WW2 too.
“The evidence compiled by the Humanitarian Research Lab researchers could lead to additional charges against Russian President Vladimir Putin; Maria Lvova-Belova, presidential commissioner for children’s rights; and other officials involved in the extensive forced relocation program in the International Criminal Court for war crimes and crimes against humanity,” Oona Hathaway, a professor of international law at Yale Law School, told the News.
Yale HRL found at least 314 Ukrainian children, primarily from the Eastern Donbas region, who since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 have been forcibly deported and listed in Russian adoption databases. The program aimed to assimilate these children into Russian society, erasing their Ukrainian identities.
Many of these children were nationalized as Russian citizens and placed with families under a program ordered and directed by Putin.
“This whole program is an act of deception by Russia,” Nathaniel Raymond, the executive director of the HRL, explained. “Underlying it was the placement of children in a database where it looked as if they came from places in Russia … when in fact, they were from Ukraine.”
The deception extended beyond databases. According to the HRL, Russia had altered personally identifiable information, or PII, and even manipulated adoption profiles to disguise the Ukrainian origin of the children, presenting them instead as Russian citizens.
The forced deportation and coerced adoption of Ukrainian children have inflicted profound psychological and emotional harm on both the children and their families. As detailed in the HRL report, the program has “separated siblings, erased cultural identities, and placed children in unfamiliar and hostile environments” where they were subjected to “Russification” efforts.
Caitlin Howarth, an HRL researcher, said that the team found records of children who experienced “acute and prolonged psychological distress.”
“One child was forced to choose between accepting a guardianship and losing her three younger siblings,” Howarth said. “Another showed signs of social withdrawal and depression after being placed with a Russian family.”
At the program’s core was an effort to sever the children’s ties to their Ukrainian heritage. The systemic renunciation of Ukrainian citizenship, combined with the imposition of Russian identities, cut off children from their families, language, and homeland.
Such an account only represents a sliver of the larger issue. “We know that what we have documented is only the tip of the iceberg,”

And how many times have you posted this? Who was it who said you just have to repeat the same lie over and over again for people to eventually believe it?
Their reports makes it clear that they are only consulting Ukrainian sources and the close with the rider “this report is not a legal analysis”. Excuse me if I remain sceptical of everything you come up with regarding Ukraine (ie I don’t belive a word of it).
It is even more important when their own country abandons the childrens’ homes they were in as the staff flee.
‘The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), acting under what is known as the “Moscow Mechanism,” conducted investigations into alleged atrocities and violations of human rights in Ukraine, finding that Russian forces had committed atrocities.
The U.N. Human Rights Council (UNHRC) established the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine (IICI); this commission also has reported finding significant evidence of atrocities committed by invading Russian forces.
On March 15, 2023, the United Nations Human Rights Council released a report, which states The body of evidence collected shows that Russian authorities have committed a wide range of violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law in many regions of Ukraine and in the Russian Federation.
Many of these amount to war crimes and include wilful killings, attacks on civilians, unlawful confinement, torture, rape, and forced transfers and deportations of children. Information continues to mount that at least some of the atrocities in Ukraine are being committed under the direction, or knowledge, of Russian commanders and authorities.
Previous Accusations of Russian War Crimes and Human Rights Violations
During Russia’s First and Second Chechen Wars beginning in the mid-1990s and in its intervention in Syria since 2015, the Russian armed forces were accused of large-scale war crimes and human rights abuses. During the Chechen Wars and intervention in Syria, the Russian military relied heavily on concentrated and indiscriminate artillery, bombing, and missile attacks with little regard for collateral damage; in some cases, it intentionally targeted civilian populations and infrastructure.
Russian forces often employed artillery and rocket artillery in response to resistance and stagnated Russian ground offensives. Russian forces were also implicated in reported war crimes and human rights abuses against civilian populations, either directly or through the military’s support for local proxy forces. Chechen Wars. Russia fought two wars (1994-1996 and 1999-2009) against rebels in the Russian republic of Chechnya.
During both conflicts, Western governments, humanitarian organizations, and international observers accused Russian forces of human rights abuses, including the killing of civilians, torture and killing of captured combatants, enforced disappearances, indiscriminate bombing and artillery attacks, and the targeting of civilian infrastructure.
Russian forces relied heavily on artillery, rocket artillery, and unguided bomb strikes, particularly to seize urban centers—including the regional capital Grozny—and after Russian ground offenses stagnated.
Russian forces also relied on indiscriminate violence against civilians to pacify Chechnya. Both regular Russian forces (including Interior Ministry troops and police) and local pro-Russian Chechen proxies engaged in widespread violence, including so called zachistki (cleansing or sweeping) operations to clear out insurgents or opponents from the local population.
Syria.
During Russia’s intervention in Syria (2015-present), the Russian Aerospace Forces (VKS) conducted extensive air operations, including the use of precision-guided munitions (PGMs), in support of local forces backing Syrian President Bashar al Asad.
The VKS’s use of PGMs was highlighted by official Russian media, possibly to demonstrate a modernized VKS. Nevertheless, analysts noted that most VKS operations still appeared to use unguided or “dumb” munitions and that the use of PGMs was exaggerated.
International observers accused VKS forces of targeting civilian infrastructure and conducting mass bombings against civilian targets (including hospitals).
In March 2020, the United Nations Human Rights Council accused Russia of complicity in war crimes for intentionally targeting civilian areas and infrastructure in Syria.’

As suspected, the JP Morgan boss is detached from reality:
‘This paper studies whether working from home (WFH) affects workers’ performance in public sector jobs.
Studying public sector initiatives allows us to establish baseline estimates on the impact of WFH net of incentives.
Exploiting novel administrative data and plausibly exogenous variation in work location, we find that WFH increases productivity by 12%. These productivity gains are primarily driven by reduced distractions.
They are not explained by differences in quality, shift length, absenteeism, characteristics of reported cases, training, administrative duties, or task allocation.
Importantly, productivity gains nearly double when tasks are assigned by the supervisor.’
Translate that across to the private sector, with higher calibre employees, management, and the productivity gains will clearly be even more significant.
We follow the evidence on this site, don’t we.
I agree. Evidence is important.
‘This bloodshed has forced me to understand that there is a moral duty to stop this war and this propaganda-fueled monster.
Propaganda alone can’t be blamed for these terrors — there are plenty of Russians living abroad who are exposed to media that show the atrocities Russian soldiers are committing against Ukrainian civilians and yet still continue to support the war.
But the stakes to get through to Russian speakers are as high as they’ve ever been.
We, as Russian speakers, have to engage in difficult conversations with those who believe in conspiracies and disinformation.
I still try to talk to my parents about the war. I bring up specific atrocities from the news, tell them the stories of the people I know. I talk until they get too annoyed to listen. But I’ll keep trying.
Maybe one day they will start doubting.’

Thanks for that Fishy you useless POS.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14461483/Possessing-photos-Muslim-woman-without-hijab-criminal-offence-MPs-say.html
Let’s look at this from an English perspective…
Photos of women wearing hijabs or other face coverings will be deemed offensive to indigenous Britons and publishing of such pictures will be treated as a criminal offence.
That’s better.
Any Europeans travelling to UK from 2nd April onwards will need to apply beforehand for an ETA – Electronic Travel Authorisation – which is valid for 2 years or until their passport expires, whichever is sooner.
It costs £10 to apply and the application must be made online or via an app, i.e. requiring a mobile phone. The applicant has to photograph his or her passport, make a selfie, and answer questions about address, job, criminal history and other nationalities (if any).
The EU is working on introducing an equivalent system, an ETIAS – European Travel Information and Authorisation System – but this will apparently not be introduced until later in the year.
Is this all really necessary or is it just another outbreak of bureaucracy, of people justifying their salaries by imposing more bureaucracy?
I suppose this new rule won’t apply to ‘irregular’ passengers on a boat (particularly from French shores) and / or back-of-a-lorry people entering the UK but only to law-abiding folk? And what about non-europeans?
I believe non-Europeans already need an ETA – Google says “From today, eligible Europeans can apply for an ETA and will need one to travel to the UK from Wednesday 2 April 2025. This expansion follows the successful rollout of ETAs to all eligible non-European nationals last year, which includes visitors from the USA, Canada and Australia who now need an ETA to travel.”
Of course, no such regulation applies to dinghy or back-of-lorry travellers – that would be too unfair.
Don’t forget the huge numbers of legal immigrants that we should not be bringing in

May I ask an honest question about one news report today, without people flying into a rage?
Tory peer forced to apologise for antisemitic slur over Holocaust memorial
“A Tory peer has apologised after saying Jewish people should pay for a London Holocaust memorial themselves because they have “an awful lot of money”.
Archie Hamilton, a former minister under Margaret Thatcher and John Major, said taxpayers’ money should not be used to pay for the memorial and education centre in Victoria Tower Gardens, next to parliament.
In a debate in the Lords, he said the park is too small for the proposed project, adding: “I do not understand why the government have volunteered taxpayers’ money, when there is so little of it, to finance this.”
**********************************************************************************************
I also don’t understand why this memorial is being built so close to the UK Parliament at taxpayers’ expense, instead of in a country where the Holocaust actually happened. Our people of the West died in their thousands to rescue the Jews from Hitler, our towns were bombed and destroyed, our food severely rationed for years after the war, so forcing endless memorials upon the nations who did our best to help seems monumentally unjust.
There was no Holocaust here, we well remember the terrible suffering and sacrifice of our ancestors in that war, and we do not need constant reminding and attempts to somehow make us feel guilty or responsible.
My question is: Why should British Taxpayers be forced to pay for a memorial to the Jewish Holocaust, or the Ukrainian Holodomor, or the Burma Rohingya massacres, or the Rwandan Genocide, or the Haiti Massacre of every white person on that island? None of them occurred here in Britain.
I agree with you.
