@TheNewsAgents @SheronWilkie The media in our country are in the habit of trying to make the news instead of simply reporting the facts.That is what @Nigel_Farage is allowed to get away corrupting our politics with little to no push back by the billionaire owned media.

[Kim Harris 🌹 @Kimindex]

@TheNewsAgents The media keeps telling us Farage is charismatic and Starmer isn't. But I and very many others actually find Farage utterly repellent and obnoxious and much prefer Starmer. Why do you keep pushing a narrative onto us?

@TheNewsAgents @JamesGrahamAuth Trump is the most corrupt president … Farage is cut from the same cloth

A Congressman’s warning: “I really hope the British public learns the lesson from Donald Trump when it comes to Nigel Farage”.

“Farage is a total fraud, and I hope they realise before its too late”

POLICE KILLED AN INNOCENT MAN, LIED ABOUT IT, AND ARRESTED THE WOMAN WHO TOLD YOU

In July 2005, Jean Charles de Menezes, an innocent man, was shot dead at Stockwell tube station by Metropolitan Police firearms officers who mistook him for a terrorist.

Police initially claimed he was wearing bulky clothing, had vaulted the ticket barriers, and run from officers. None of it was true. But police did not correct the misinformation. They waited until someone forced their hand.

That someone was Lana Vandenberghe. A secretary. Not a senior official, not a KC, not a politician. A secretary who sat at her desk at the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) and watched the official story fall apart in front of her.

As files passed across her desk, she began to feel that the facts of the case were being misrepresented, or not presented at all, to the public.

So she did something about it.

Over several weeks, Lana stayed late at the office and used her camera to photograph the evidence, which she then handed to a news producer.

She leaked the documents to ITN, which contradicted the official narrative being promoted by the Metropolitan Police.

The story broke. The cover was blown. And the state's response?

Dawn raids. Vandenberghe was arrested by Leicester Constabulary Serious Crime Unit acting on behalf of the IPCC. Two more dawn raids followed weeks later, including the arrest of the ITN journalist who ran the story and his pregnant girlfriend.

Vandenberghe said she was "scared to death" and that it never crossed her mind she would be treated as a criminal for telling the truth. "Unlike the police," she said, "I hadn't killed an innocent person."

She lost her job. She lost her home. She was treated for depression.

The threat police reportedly considered charging her with?

The theft of ink and paper.

Ink and paper.

The first IPCC inquiry concluded that none of the officers involved would face disciplinary charges. The Crown Prosecution Service later found "insufficient evidence" to prosecute any named individual.

No charges were ever filed against Vandenberghe.

No charges were ever filed against the officers who killed Jean Charles de Menezes and then lied about it either.

Lana has said she would do it all again. She does not consider what she did heroic. She was taught to speak out for the truth, no matter what. She stands by that code today.

The system called her a criminal. History called her a witness.

Amos Goldberg, Professor of Genocide Studies at The Hebrew University in Jerusalem "Yes, it is genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion. Jewish history will henceforth be stained"

Is there anyone more qualified and unbiased?

I'm Jewish, British & 64

All my life, I wondered how the Holocaust could have happened. I understood that Hitler & other leaders were EVIL, but how did millions of ordinary people go along with it?

NOW, seeing how so many in the West rationalise & defend the Gaza Genocide, I feel I have an answer and it is profoundly disturbing
