VITTACHI: DISUNITED UK ‘WILL NO LONGER EXIST’
The United Kingdom will no longer exist, breaking into four separate countries if a powerful new separatist alliance launched this week has its way, says commentator Nury Vittachi, a former UK journalist.
He briefed RT’s Nikki Aaron on the implications last night.
Key points:
- After a Welsh election, the leaders of all three of the smaller United Kingdom countries (Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland) are led by pro-independence parties.
- They just signed a memorandum to work together on DISUNITING the kingdom—and have a set up an information channel between them that excludes London.
- Now Trump has stuck his oar in, calling for Ireland to reunite with British Northern Ireland.
- From an overseas point of view, it’s double standards. UK politicians and journalists portray Hong Kong and Taiwan as communities wanting independence from Mainland China even though that’s not true at all; yet when their own communities DO want independence, UK politicians and journalists work against it.
- The timing is awkward, as new UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has his own plans to divide the Kingdom into a network of semi-independent Mayor-led regions, and the three nations don’t like the plan, pointing out that they are legally countries, and won’t be treated as regions.
- Burnham’s going to have nightmare sorting it all out, Vittachi warns.

Watch. According auditor general Spence report, Ontarians have watched over $452 million in shameless self-promotion advertments from Ford, Lecce, Calandra, Jones, & Piccini over the last 8 years while bankrupting the province.
I just attended a screening of Abby Martin's remarkable new film Earth's Greatest Enemy, on the US military's unprecedented destruction of the planet. Find a way to see it if you can.
In the meantime, watch Martin explain what is at stake:
Last week a reporter asked Ford why he hasn’t recalled the Legislature after being ON BREAK FOR 5 MONTHS. Doug said he gets more done when he doesn’t have to go to Queen’s Park. What he meant was he can avoid being accountable & transparent for 5 months🤨
Watch. Auditor General Bonnie Lsysk & Cynthia Mulligan shred Ford & Clark's preferential treatment for developers during the $8.3B Greenbelt stench of corruption as Lsysk found Ontario already had more than enough designated land to build 2 million homes.
Henry Johnson was an African American hero who single-handedly beat back a German assault during World W@r I.
Despite being st@bbed, sh0t, and hit with gren@de shrapnel totaling 21 severe injuries, he managed to kiII/injure 24 German soldiers and rescued a member of his unit.
He was the first African American soldier to receive France's highest award for bravery, Croix de Guerre, and in 2015, The White House also awarded him the Medal of Honor in a posthumous ceremony.
Do you want to know how “transparent” Doug Ford is? Well, the Info Priv Comm found Ford govt PERMANENTLY DELETED GREENBELT scandal records. That’s so we wouldn’t find out what they were really up to when they tried to STEAL the Greenbelt for their friends.
🚨 BREAKING:
The International Court of Justice declared the "State of Israel" illegitimate and ordered its withdrawal from the land and territory of Palestine.
