Wednesday, 22 July 2020 - the day they started talking about masking our kids, who are not at risk themselves and pose no risk to others - was the day it became impossible to pretend that the New Normal had anything to do with protecting us from a deadly virus.

🆔NEWS: MPs warn it would be "IRRESPONSIBLE to roll out digital ID" on Britain's rickety IT systems

A scathing new report by the Science, Innovation and Tech Committee (@CommonsSITC) highlights mass data breaches and widespread concerns about privacy.

Spending swathes of taxpayers' money on a project that lacks trust & confidence is reckless.

Among the weapons mentioned in this article are: an air rifle, a flick knife, an extendable baton, knuckledusters, a machete, swords and kusaris (chains). It sounds as if the religious exemption for ceremonial blades might not be the whole story.

Convicted murderer Vickrum Digwa appeared in court again on Tuesday, alongside his father and brother, charged with multiple weapons offences. His brother Gurpreet Digwa faces additional charges, including possessing a knife (a kirpan) in a public place.

🚨 NEW: The Government will not ban Sikhs from carrying ceremonial knives, one of which was used in Henry Nowak's murder

Home Secretary: "Carrying a knife for the purpose of religious observance is one thing - using it is quite another"

MANILA, Philippines — Jet fuel prices have come down to their lowest level since reaching new highs in April, indicating a gradual return to normalcy ahead of the weakest season for air travel.

The whole 'Broken Britain' narrative is potentially dangerous. It implies that our traditional institutions – in this case trial by jury – are no longer fit for purpose, and plays into the hands of those who would sweep them away.

Manchester airport video clearly shows Muhammad Amaad punched PC Marsden at least 6 times in a terrifying assault on a police officer

How has he got away scot free? How did the jury not think this was assault?

Israelis today define themselves more as Jews and less as Israelis alone, according to a survey. Most agree that Judaism is much more than a religion. 94% expect Jews around the world to support Israel during wartime.

When Kanye West was banned from the UK, instead of challenging the government’s authoritarianism, many demanded the ban of others.

Today Hasan and Cenk were banned for being Anti-Israel.

The more you demand security from the state, the more freedoms it will take in return.

The logistics issues at Edinburgh & Glasgow airports over the weekend have now been resolved.

This was due to driver logistics & is not linked to the conflict in the Middle East or wider supply issues.

To be clear, UK airlines are not currently seeing any shortage of jet fuel.

A 'global food crisis' supposedly followed Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, whereas in reality there was no global food shortage and food stocks were at historically high levels.

The global food crisis that wasn’t https://t.co/lFrFDEsd93 via @webmarketingcom

[Roger Albyn @AlbynRoger]

Perhaps the reason why doomsday scenarios have failed to arrive is that the 'global oil crisis' – like the 'global food crisis' of 2022 – has been massively overhyped.

Look for all the people continually pushing the left vs right divide, the black vs white divide. The female vs male divide. The Muslim vs Christian divide. The rich vs poor divide.

There are many ‘commentators’ out there pushing the divides, and more.

We all know now that we need sovereignty and to take our countries back.

That’s a given.

But we can do that stood shoulder to shoulder.

What it boils down to is humanity vs evil.

It would serve us all well to remember that.

Be careful who you follow…

A full-time worker on the UK National Living Wage takes home around £18,600 a year, while a pensioner on the full State Pension receives about £12,548. That leaves many retirees expected to live on thousands less than the lowest-paid workers.

The US is providing information rather than military escorts. Some ships are entering the Gulf as well as leaving. Conventional vessel-tracking methods may understate the numbers.

“European airlines no longer fear running out of jet fuel by the end of June. US gasoline prices have caused some grumbling but little more. Higher propane costs have not caused widespread hunger among the Asian households who rely on it for cooking.”

"Trump has made amendments to the draft agreement with Iran, which his own negotiators have already agreed with Tehran."

How can you negotiate with a party that changes the terms unilaterally after they were mutually agreed upon?

@Telegraph Why do you still repeat this when the president of Romania confirmed that a drone targeting Ukraine was redirected by a Ukrainian air defence system, and that’s why it hit Romania.
Fake news, false flag event.

The Paya Lebar first transited westbound through the strait into the Gulf on 13 April. It then crossed eastbound on 28 April. It made its third transit in less than two months on 29 May. All despite the 'critical security situation' in the waterway.
