How will sexual violence stop if the police won't take it seriously?

When Nina Cresswell named the man who sexually assaulted her he sued for defamation - and he lost. But why did she have to take that risk? We're helping her sue the police who failed to investigate him. goodlaw.social/vtev

The sort of report a great paper publishes. It’s a great read about who the man with the gun in this photo, is. Experts now know his name & that he was a school teacher before WWII.

This is much more significant than a naval blockade. It violates a Venezuela's sovereign airspace. A commercial no-fly zone instituted by the US is an invasion and declaration of war.
Might be kicking off.

Hegseth's not the only war criminal here. "The [USSOCOM] commander overseeing the operation from Fort Bragg in North Carolina, Adm. Frank M. 'Mitch' Bradley, told people on the secure conference call that the survivors were still legitimate targets... He ordered the second strike."
Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

Offering the survivors of a missile strike no quarter and then ordering a second strike to finish them off puts Hegseth in deep, deep water. He gave an illegal order. This is either murder or a war crime. It doesn't matter what your title is, Secretary of Defense, or Fox Talk Show Host. It's murder.

Horrendous. Unfortunately none of this sticks. People will still vote for Farage.
"My most vivid memories of my school life is Farage repeatedly coming up to me, knowing that I was Jewish, saying 'Hitler was right' and 'gas em' and that was frequently followed by imitating the sound of escaping gas."

This conceals a systematic removal of children. Parents have no influence over the process, and international organizations have no access to it.

"a single person of this demographic may have committed a crime, therefore we must punish the entire demographic" is a policy response you may recognize from fascist governments dedicated to ethnic cleansing elsewhere.

I’m a past winner of the Orwell Prize & won partly because I exposed Vote Leave’s unlawful activities.
