Crazy economics. 🇨🇦 & Louisiana forests denuded for #Drax loose natural habitat & generate 60% more CO2/ unit of energy than 🇬🇧gas & 45%> 🇬🇧oil.
Today I learned my sister Leila Pashaei has been tortured by Iran’s Intelligence agents on the 6th day of her arrest. Her “crime”? Speaking out on International Women’s Day against mandatory hijab, child marriage, and the execution of women prisoners.
Leila is now forced under torture to confess to crimes she never committed. Her life is in serious danger. The fate of the 3 other women arrested with her is unknown. all held in solitary confinement.
As a family who witnessed my brother Saman Pashaei tortured nearly to death in the same prison, we fear the worst.
We urgently call on the international community, women’s rights activists, and human rights organizations to be the voice of these brave women and demand their immediate release. Their lives are in danger.

@simon_schama but we had the gold in SA vaults, we had the US aircraft paid for which Roosevelt told Winston to retrieve from Canada with horses, we had the lend lease too. Without that & Pearl Harbour, we'd never have had US support. Completely commercial, like gangsters.

When statesmen gravely say "We must be realistic"
The chances are they're weak,and therefore pacifistic:
But when they speak of Principles, look out: perhaps
Their generals are already poring over maps.

@JiffyRugby Ref was poor on 3 tries unless I don't understand the ever-changing rules. We've lost the wit & wisdom to run their big forwards ragged. Make the lumps run FFS. #Howley used to be good at this & wrth cwrs the blessed Arwel Thomas.
This is my daughter Semina Halliwell she was only 12 years old when she took her own life. Why ? You maybe asking..... well I will tell you what is fact!!
She was groomed online by an older boy
She was pressured into a meeting with him by constantly being contacted by him.
When they met, he proceeded to sexually assault her, a manner in which is classed as statutory rape in the eyes of the law, by definition that a child 12 and under cannot give consent .
It turns out that she was his second victim. The other victim was 13 and had already reported the crime to the police.
Semina reported her sexualt assault to Merseyside Police to investigate having been confirmed by them as a rape case.
Following the reporting of this sexual assault to the police, Semina was subjected to online threats and hatred. She was also attacked and beaten 3 separate times, which had been filmed and posted on social media.
During the last meeting with police where it was said it was her word against his, she went upstairs and took a lethal overdose, which took 4 long days for her to die whilst being awake.
That was 3 years ago, and we have
not had an inquest, due to information such as the serious case review generated by social services is being deliberately withheld from the public domain due to the damming formation of failures held within.
A whistle-blower a police officer from Merseyside police and was indeed the safeguarding officer at Semina's school, was so concerned and was actually doing his job, felt compelled to speak out about the lack of safeguading issues about and the lack if action being taken about a boy who had unhealthy interest in young girls and even wrote to the coroner with his concerns upon learning of Seminas death.
Following this action he was suspended from his work for gross misconduct along with accusations of an affair with myself. I HAVE NEVER MET THIS MAN!
He was a family man just doing g his job and now his life has been destroyed!!
2 years later from reading an IOPC report I learned that a police officer had interviewed the boy and his mother, where the boy admitted to the offence but said that Semina had consented. I SAY AGAIN ITS THE LAW A CHILD OF 12 CANNIT GIVE CONSENT.
The boy was given the option to attend a voluntary interview where no charges were brought against him even with the above admission.
I am being g sile ced by the authorities by delay tactics. Merseyside police refuse to give my daughters phone back to me and want to destroy it after the inquest despite precious images of her I have the right to want to keep. They will also destroy the serious case review after the inquest alongside not having any question directed towards this review.
So I repeat my statement above..all reading this will be asking the question WHY? @TRobinsonNewEra@leeharris@alexarmstrong@BGatesIsaPyscho@LozzaFox@BGatesIsaPyscho@danwootton@darrengrimes@daveatherton@elonmusk @GoldingBF @HoodedClaw1974@benhaslm@calvinrobinson@davidkurten@Nigel_Farage@PatrickChristys@Satah477618 #Southport #justiceforseminahalliwell
@JamesMelville Went past acres & acres of solar panels in #biodiverse fields with little hedges between Cheltenham & Bristol yesterday. Quite shameful & environmentally irresponsible imho. Every act has a consequence.
#Syria's longest prisoner, Raghid Tatari, freed tonight after 43 years in prison. His "crime" was the winning against Hafez's chosen heir and princeling Bassel in a equestrian competition. Bassel liked to ride and his father promoted him as a 'Arab knight on horseback.' Even this week there were still statues of Bassel on horseback being thrown down.....
