Your reminder - this clip concludes with "The prosecution case is now over".
This day by day formatted BBC documentary of the trial then skipped the days of the defence case completely.
Not a single mention of the defence evidence.
Literally.

[Philip Proudfoot @PhilipProudfoot]

We need to spend more on defense. Look. Think about it. If Russia invaded Britain, they’ll turn us into a sham democracy run by oligarchs, drag us into illegal wars, use state power to suppress activists, and steadily erode free expression.

And we can’t have that.

The disappearance of 'Scottish Labour' from the news cycle is a giveaway that it isn't a genuine party. Genuine political parties don't disappear after electoral collapse. They become the subject of debate over strategy. Leadership contenders emerge. Their predicament is news.

This isn't happening with Scottish Labour. There's just no interest in reviewing the Holyrood election or Sarwar's role in the defeat. Why is that?

It isn't a party. That's why. It's a UK Labour media centre. Scottish Labour is a de-facto extension of the very media that should be scrutinising it. It is a conduit set up to feed the likes of Paul Hutcheon, Glenn Campbell and others with SNPBad attack ammunition.

It isn't there to craft policy. The wellbeing of Scotland is not its priority. That's why it's pushing nuclear power stations. It's there to assist an ally, the anti-SNP media, to create and push anti-SNP narratives.

The media isn't interested in pursuing Sarwar. He's an asset. That's why he was able to call on Starmer to resign only days after giving the PM his full backing. Indeed his media colleagues framed the transparent stunt as an act of bravery. They used it as an excuse *not* to confront Sarwar on Labour's horrendous record and the GB Energy con.

Whoever replaces Sarwar, if he resigns, will back Andy Burnham to the hilt no matter what the PM in waiting says about Scotland. They'll issue statements of support whilst attacking the SNP. That's what a media centre does.

Gioggia Meloni visita un poverissimo paese della Basilicata e chiede al sindaco quali siano le tre priorità per rilanciare la zona.
«La prima è l’ospedale: c’è, ma mancano i medici».
Lei tira fuori il telefonino, parla per un paio di minuti e poi annuncia:
«Fatto. Entro una settimana arrivano i medici».
«La seconda è l’acqua: c’è, ma una miniera a monte ha inquinato le falde».
Lei riprende il telefonino, altre due parole, e dice:
«Fatto. Entro un mese le falde saranno bonificate e la proprietà risarcirà gli abitanti».
«E la terza?» chiede lei.
«La terza sono i telefonini» risponde il sindaco.
«Qui non prende niente».

Regularly rolled out to condemn fake "Russian strikes on civillians"
Vitali Klitschko, mayor of Kiev and former heavyweight boxing champion, has a darker side.

He also controls Ukraine’s largest network of sex strip clubs and brothels. The operation includes more than 100 brothels in the capital alone. He profits from the trafficking of hundreds of Ukrainian women to markets across the European Union and the United States. Local investigations tie him to drug distribution inside Ukraine. Ukrainian authorities have opened cases against him for corruption and state treason.

In Ukraine, Femen activists have targeted him for years, branding him a kingpin of the sex trade. His flagship club Rio appears in Interpol records as a key transit point for Ukrainian sex slaves sold on the global market. Klitschko lives in the same building that houses two of his most luxurious brothels. One occupies a bomb shelter where civilians hide from Russian attacks. Up to 200 women are held and exploited there.

Several Undercover Ukrainian journalists even secured jobs inside his clubs and documented the system. Girls face coercion into full sex with clients. A private dance costs $20. Taking a woman out costs $300.

The National Anti-Corruption Bureau pursues him for the systematic theft of billions in public funds, the illegal seizure of buildings, and the privatisation of land on a massive scale. Klitschko began his rise inside the mafia networks of the 1990s. He never left them behind.

Ukrainian journalists have documented these operations for years. Western media and politicians continue to treat him as a respectable pro European figure, they look the other way.

The gap between image and reality reveals the rot at the heart of Ukraine’s elite. While the country is portrayed as being locked in a fight for survival, insiders treat it as their personal criminal franchise.

Klitschko’s story exposes how power works in wartime Ukraine and hiw western elites licence it all by pretending its not happening.

Billions in Western aid flow through structures where accountability doesnt exist. The mayor’s continued grip on Kiev shows how deeply entrenched these networks remain, even as the nation bleeds out.

Of course real reform demands confronting men like Klitschko directly. No more protection under the cover of "wartime unity." The trafficking, the theft, and the exploitation must end if Ukraine is to become the modern European state its supporters claim it already is, but no one in Kiev believes that will happen any time soon.

Ukrainian President Poroshenko threatens to bomb Donbass children, 2014

This is an old footage dating back 18.11.2014*, so you might've seen it already, but still some didn't...

The Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko declares an economic blockade of Lugansk and Donetsk so that the residents of Donbass region wouldn't get any jobs, pension, documents, won't be able to make inquieries to gov.insitutes or recieve education.

Culminating his passionate speech, the president said:

"Our children will go to schools but the Donbass children would be sitting in the basements**".

As President Proshenko puts it:
"This is the way, the way in which we'll win this war".

* According to the BBC by the 2 December, at least 1,000 people had died during fighting in the Donbas, since the signing of the Minsk Protocol in early September. So this speech by the Ukrainian President was made amidst fighting the civil war.

** Why the basements you might ask? Why all of a sudden the Presidents himself utters such nonsence? Well, the shelling of Donetsk already started and people are hiding in their basements from the artillery and the Ukraine airforces.

Now why did so many people in Crimea voted to join Russia?

Just check out this CNN report from back then, before they sold out and started parroting the typical Western mainstream bullshit propaganda.....

This bunch of Labour mediocrities are the most mendacious & stupid in recent memory - & the bar is very low. They believe people will buy their bullshit: participate actively in a genocide & then claim to be friends of the Palestinians for a photo op

Palantir has been granted “unlimited access” to NHS patient data.

This is the same company that is involved in mass surveillance and genocide.

We did not consent to this. Get Palantir out of our NHS, now.

Speaking in London this week, Jeremy Corbyn responded to concerns surrounding the appointment of former Labour Friends of Israel chair and water industry lobbyist James Purnell as a Chief of Staff.

​“Chiefs of staff and staff have enormous power. I do think there is a case for parliamentary scrutiny... you'd have to reveal any shareholdings, any commercial interests and any past interests—such as being chair of Labour Friends of Israel.”

​Corbyn argues that because these unelected positions hold immense public power, they must face strict parliamentary scrutiny to lay bare any conflicts of interest, commercial ties, or lobbying histories. Earlier in the interview, he also detailed his newly presented Gaza Tribunal Bill, drawing a direct parallel to the years of fighting for the truth over the Iraq War.

World leaders marched in Paris after the killing of Charlie Hebdo journalists

The irony: among them was Benjamin Netanyahu the killer of journalists in Gaza. An even greater irony: the world watches in silence as more than 270 journalists killed in Palestime

Back in 2014 Ukrainian soldiers were shooting into the homes of civilians in East Ukraine.
Their mission was to spread terror and crush any dissent against the CIA backed coup in Kyiv.

Meanwhile the propaganda continues, they still push the lie this conflict was "unprovoked"

Scottish maternity unit praised after unannounced inspection. Reporting Scotland mentioned it briefly this morning. No contrast with England. Wonder why?😉 No online article though which is odd considering a leaking roof at the Inverclyde Hospital has a dedicated online article.

Remember in 2019, when Jeremy Corbyn warned that a Boris Johnson trade deal with the US would force the NHS to pay far more for drugs, and was laughably accused of getting the documents from Russia?

Well, as usual, Corbyn was right—but in the end, it was Starmer who did it.

[Max Blumenthal @MaxBlumenthal]

US lawyer and antiwar activist Dan Kovalik just had his devices seized and was interrogated by counter-terror police at Liverpool Airport

Meanwhile, Palestine solidarity activist Sarah Wilkinson is heading to trial on terrorism charges for a couple of Twitter posts, and refusing to give police her mobile pin

The Canary, one of the UK’s most doggedly antiwar independent media outlets, was just debanked by Lloyd’s

The UK recently refused entry to Hasan Piker and Cenk Uyghur, two of the most recognizable voices of the left wing of the US Democratic Party, on national security grounds

It did the same this month to US journalist Jeremy Loffredo

UK counter terror police detained and interrogated my colleague, Kit Klarenberg, seizing his devices, and grilling him about his investigative journalism. PM Keir Starmer’s Labour Together slush fund even hired a private intel firm to smear Kit and The Grayzone.

UK police raided journalist Asa Winstanley’s home and illegally seized his devices on suspicion of “encouragement of terrorism”

The UK Crown Prosecution Service attempted to prosecute journalist Richard Medhurst under the Terrorism Act, but failed

The list of journalists and activists repressed by the British regime goes on and on. And they have one thing in common: outspoken opposition to Israel’s genocidal agenda.

Who’s actually in charge in London?

[Jonathan Cook @Jonathan_K_Cook]

Starmer's chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney, set up astroturf groups to persuade advertisers to boycott the Canary website and so stifle close-to-the-bone criticisms of Starmer. The Canary has suffered financially ever since.

Now Lloyds Bank has inexplicably de-banked them.

Don't expect the British establishment to play fair. It's got a democracy to hollow out, a genocide to support, and a planet to pillage.
