@HeadWarriorTWM Clearly a well sorted young man and father. We had a great laugh when I read out the RCGP list of gender choices. My friend Dave said “what is a Big Ender? “ I had to point out it was Bigender - what ever that is!

PLEASE HELP MAKE THIS YOUNG MAN FAMOUS

Yotam Budnik is a 12th-grade student from Rehovot 🇮🇱 just won a gold medal at the International Olympiad in Informatics in Uzbekistan but was not allowed to compete under the Israeli flag.

When Yotam was awarded his medal 🏅 stepped onto the podium, pulled an Israeli flag out of his pocket and wore it in defiance of the Anti-Semitic discrimination.

While the medal 🏅 was revoked from him for his courage, he has no regrets

"The law that prevents me from waving the flag is based only on politics, and I thought there was no place for that in a scientific competition", he said.

The organizers demanded that he return his medal.

Yotam said no.

Organizers took away his certificate and removed his ranking from the website.

Please help make sure the world knows the name Yotam Budnik and that he is not only a world class computer science genius, but also a man of courage and pride of the Jewish people 💙

A Muslim BBC journalist liked online posts praising the rape and massacre of Israelis by Hamas, calling it a “quality operation.”
She also liked posts showing bodies and hostages piled onto trucks by Hamas.
The BBC did nothing.
She’s still on air.
Do you still trust the BBC?

@WorcsWarriors @TrustWarriors just to say tickets for the 2/1/27 match away at Cornish Pirates are on sale now - being a holiday might go quickly….

Why does the government find it so difficult to control spending? Stop the big losses on bond sales at Bank of England. Stop the carbon capture and storage vanity projects. Freeze recruitment to civil service. Stop Councils making property and renewable power “investments”.

🚨BREAKING: David Lammy has taken legal action to BLOCK the publication of crime rates by foreign migrants across England and Wales

We all know why
The public would be furious if they knew the truth
Huge coverup

On Fathers day, June 21st, my two grandchildren, aged 13 and 8, went to lay flowers on their Dads grave.
Their Dad was called Edward.
He was my Son.

He sadly took his own life 14 months ago and his ashes are interred in a Parish Council Cemetery in Devon.

Over the past year the children have visited the grave many times, to lay flowers or to leave little hand painted mementos.

But this time it was different. The concrete slab that had been placed over the grave just after I'd lowered his ashes into the ground was now missing.

The grave was now uncovered. Just a patch of bare earth was visible.

The slab is intended to stay in place for eternity. Families then have the choice of whether or not to commission a memorial tablet to be secured on top of it.

We had recently started finalising the details of the memorial tablet we were going to install on Edwards grave.

I received a call from the person accompanying the children to the grave telling me what they'd discovered. I could hear my 8 year old granddaughter crying in the background.

I immediately jumped in my car and drove the 30 miles to the cemetery.

Within a couple of minutes I'd worked out what had happened.

My Sons slab had been removed from his grave and used on a grave just 6 feet away and a memorial tablet had been cemented on top of it.

Our grave had been raided for spare parts by the mason who, upon arrival at the cemetery to install a memorial to a grave, had noted the grave had no slab upon which to attach the memorial so took the one covering Edwards grave.

He then just walked away, got in his van, drove off and didn't tell anyone.

This happened on June 18th, just 3 days before Fathers Day.

The company he works for is Fine Memorials. They're based in Bridgwater in Somerset and they also have branches in Exeter, Barnstaple, Taunton and Minehead.
Their branches in Tiverton and Yeovil operate under different names.

The Director of the company has offered to make and fit a memorial for free but I've repeatedly told him I don't want my Sons grave tainted by any further involvement by Fine Memorials.

He's said he'd consider funding a tablet made by another memorials company (quote) "if the price is right". The price is obviously the key factor as far as he's concerned but he needn't worry about this because we'll fund our own memorial.

I have however suggested (by email), that he pay compensation to my two grandchildren who discoverd their Dads grave in that state on Fathers Day. I've also suggested it would be appropriate to make a donation to a mental health charity of our choice.

He should also consider reimbursing the family who paid his company to have a memorial fitted to their grave only to discover it was cemented to a slab pilfered from another grave.

He has so far refused to discuss these suggestions. His only offer is the free memorial and I've told him he can stick that.

The Fine Memorials website and their entries on websites of the various trade bodies they belong to, mentions words like dignity, compassion and respect.

None of these qualities are evident in the way they treated my Sons grave or in the manner they've treated their own customer whose own memorial was cemented to an essential component taken from someone elses grave.

I wouldn't recommend any dealings with Fine Memorials.

In June, BBC News ran at least 8 stories featuring criticism of councils for not flying the Pride flag

But no stories even mentioning the at least 8 Pride organisers who have recently been convicted of paedophile offences

This is an outrageous, disgraceful smear on John Healey — and an outright lie. There are a ton of ways to finance more for defence — starting with net zero — without taking a penny from schools or hospitals. Reeves should be ashamed of herself for allowing this nonsense. Suggests she’s really desperate.
