PPE Medpro was owned by a 'friend' of Douglas Barrowman who is married to Michelle Mone.

They used the VIP lane to get a £232m contract for entirely useless PPE.

They are already under investigation by the National Crime Agency.

It is time for Interpol and arrest them both.

Apparently she's in Belize! Could our International Police Force check it out? Or doesn't anyone care!

When you see something like this, don't be afraid, don't call the firefighters or the police, don't move and don't kill them. These are just bees traveling and stopping for just 24 hours.
Don't disturb them and avoid getting close to them, they won't hurt you.
If you want to help, put a flat plate or tray with some sugar water.
Bees will eat, gain energy and fly away.
We all need to protect migratory bees, they are our survival insurance.
Without bees, there will be no humans on earth. 🐝🧡

Those who promised ‘sunlit uplands’ have suddenly gone very quiet, as our diminishing returns from Brexit continue to hamper businesses across the country.

The public mood has changed since 2016 – 62% of now want the UK to rejoin the EU.

Ah Steve ‘finger on the pulse of the nation’ Barclay sent out to fumble his way through interviews about Legionella on the barge and the NHS. Another minister who relies on deceitful Tory HQ programming, rather than giving a damn. A dismal rainy Monday kind of a man. #r4today

Hey @Ryanair, my parents who are in their 70s and 80s, had accidentally downloaded the return flight boarding card instead of the outgoing ones and you charged them £110 to print them at the airport. £110 for 2 pieces of paper which took 1 minute. Shame on you

[Auschwitz Memorial @AuschwitzMuseum]

The assertion that Jews could have easily resisted during deportations to extermination simply due to their numerical strength compared to the guards oversimplifies the dire circumstances they faced during the Holocaust. Acts of resistance did occur in various forms across German-occupied countries, and it is essential to recognize the complexities and challenges that hindered such efforts.

It's vital to remember that the Germans methodically orchestrated a campaign of terror and manipulation, exploiting the vulnerabilities of the victims to maintain control. Many Jews who were deported were misled into believing they were going to work camps or being relocated. This deception aimed to suppress resistance and prevent panic. Upon arrival at the extermination camps, they were met with even more deception, like fake train stations and elaborate disguises hiding the true horrors. Calling their actions "willing" ignores the psychological manipulation and fear they endured.

The skepticism surrounding the stories of death camps is understandable, considering the unprecedented nature of the Holocaust. We can't expect people at that time to fully grasp the extent of the horrors they faced, especially given the manipulative tactics of the Nazis. The emotional toll on the victims often led to feelings of hopelessness and the desire to end their suffering as quickly as possible.

Upon reaching Auschwitz, Jews were met with armed SS guards at platforms and later, within the confines of Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp itself, surrounded by electrified barbed-wire fences. The sheer number of SS guards made resistance nearly impossible. Additionally, the presence of German police and military units nearby was a threat to any uprising. However, the most insidious obstacle was the orchestrated deception. Those deported were tricked into thinking they were being resettled for a fresh start in the East, unaware of the impending extermination. Dismissing the difficulty of resistance ignores the pervasive climate of misinformation, fear, and the overwhelming force they were up against.

It's also important to remember that Jewish prisoners at Auschwitz organized the most significant uprising in the history of the camp (the Sonderkommando revolt on 7 October 1944) and took unique photographs, the only ones of the kind in the history of the camp, showing the burning of bodies on the pyres in Birkenau, and initiated the campaign of writing down accounts that were later buried in the ground.

Favorable conditions for Jewish resistance were almost non-existent due to the overwhelming force and brutality of the German occupation. The sheer power, combined with deception and fear, made effective resistance extremely challenging.

Despite these harsh circumstances, instances of resistance did emerge, although in different forms. Armed uprisings, escapes, smuggling, and acts of rescue reflect the determination to fight against impossible odds. The broader context of mutual support, rescue attempts, and moral dilemmas further highlights the complexity of their experiences.

Blaming the victims for not resisting more distorts history as it ignores the bigger picture and contexts of the complex and challenging situation they were in and the oppression they faced. Rejecting these kinds of narration is vital because it unfairly shifts the blame from the perpetrators to the people who suffered.

The idea that Jews should be held responsible for their own genocide is not only wrong and hurtful. It doesn't consider how much power the Germans had over them. It demonstrates a fundamental flaw and incurs offensiveness, as it conspicuously disregards the substantial power differentials that existed within the framework of the Nazi regime.

When discussing the Holocaust, sensitivity, accuracy, and a deep understanding of the Jews'' challenges are crucial. Oversimplifying their struggles risks perpetuating harmful narratives and diminishes the complex historical reality they lived through.
