Emily Thornberry: Sunak Demeans Office of Prime Minister.
Emily Thornberry a Minister on Keir Starmer's front bench is not happy with Rishi Sunak. Sunak has accused the Labour Party of being little better than the criminal gangs who exploit migrants. Emily Thornberry said she normally respects the Office of the Prime Minister. However, Ms. Thornberry accused the Prime Minister of "demeaning" the role of Prime Minister. Usually, she went on, she doesn't normally speak out, but because of what Sunak said, she had little choice.

Protest needs a rethink
Protest needs a rethink. Protesting is having opposite effect to the one claimed to be the objective. Protests, from the time those organised to try and get atomic bombs banned, have changed and today we have stop oil and extinction rebellion- both of these have financial backing and organisation leadership. Neither of these facilities existed for ban the bomb marches. In the main the ban the bomb protests were peaceful, that is they did not involve much violence or anti-social behaviour. Modern protestors are different, they seem to glory in causing as much social disturbance as they possible can. This new trend does not appear to be aimed at gaining support for a selected set of opinions, but aimed at causing as much nuisance and aggravation to as many members of the public as they can. The result is that very large numbers of “the general public” regard the protestors as selfish, self-indulgent, ego driven, arrogant and disconnected from reality. Because of this, the protests have lost all chance of exerting political pressure. They are just exhibitionist demanding the world takes notice of them. It is widely accepted that these new protestors get paid “expenses” for disrupting the law-abiding activities of other people. This is nothing other than rent-a -mob dressed up in middleclass clothing.

A Talk About Pure Free Market Capitalism
One of the biggest things we constantly hear about is Pure Free Market Capitalism. I thought I would take some time and talk about it. It is believed by mostly conservatives in every country that if Capitalists were free and not weighed down by taxes or regulations or even fees that eventually the world would be a far better place. Resources being used through the direction of the Capitalists would be developed to their fullest potential in the pursuit of maximizing profits. Capitalists would be able through seeking return on investments to improve the overall quality of life. As Capitalists move to fill various niches in order to earn a profit there will be those who answer the various environmental issues as well. In the end the nation will be prosperous and all will benefit greatly enjoying the effects of trickledown.

From Templars to Masons on the secret journey to Scotland
Rumours of deviant sexual rituals are not exclusive to the Knights Templar, who amassed a vast fortune between their foundation by Frenchman Hugues de Payens, along with a group of eight acquaintances, in about 1118 and their alleged dissolution in 1312, after King Philip IV of France – deeply in debt to the knights – pressured Pope Clement V to have many of the order's members in France arrested, tortured into giving false confessions and then burned at the stake as a result of his accusations.

Who dictates the strategy to control the board on Earth?
In the summer of 2021 landmark meetings allegedly took place between representatives of an “Earth Alliance” – consisting of officials of nation states and executives of corporate giants – and emissaries of the Galactic Federation Of Worlds, an organisation that has been overseeing the Earth’s development into a “space-fairing” civilisation for millennia, since before the “Annunaki” began genetically engineering a slave race on our planet to work the gold mines they’d established as part of their efforts to repair the atmosphere on their home world, Nibiru.
