Our country needs a bold change of direction. Starmer lost the confidence of the country because of his abject failure to challenge the power and wealth of an establishment which has taken for themselves while leaving the vast majority in a cost of living crisis. (1/5)
@GrahamC47 Thatโs just not how weโve ever done it here,for instance the UK was home to the longest running live action sitcom of all time. (37 years from 1973 - 2010.) Every single episode written by one guy.
@AlexisuwuAlexis Yeah, honestly in the end Jaxes story just made me sad. Like she was just so terrified of any kind of emotional intimacy or vulnerability that the only thing she could think to do was push everyone away as much as possible, to be sure that it could never happen again.
@NJ_Timothy Grooming gang offences are not predominantly committed by any single demographic, as academic literature indicates that the majority of group-based child sexual exploitation offenders are white. Pakistani men account for 6.9% of grooming crimes.
Youโre a Muslim obsessed prick.
@Tales_TimeLord Yeah, Iโm sure the budget doesnโt exist for anything like that for Who. For Dads Army it was probably pretty cheap, they really only needed to build a few different sets and then film it. Not so for Dr Who.
Itโs a pity, imagine a remake of Marco Polo starring David Bradley.
22 YEARS LATER AND NOBODY HAS ANSWERED FOR WHAT HAPPENED TO DR DAVID KELLY
His name was Dr David Kelly. Most people have forgotten him. They shouldn't.
He was a quiet, mild-mannered scientist who spent his career inspecting weapons facilities around the world.
He knew more about Iraq's arsenal than almost anyone alive.
In 2003, Tony Blair's @InstituteGC government published a dossier claiming Saddam Hussein could deploy chemical weapons within 45 minutes. That claim was used to justify a war.
Kelly knew the intelligence behind it was being exaggerated. He said so, privately, to a @BBCNews journalist.
That one conversation destroyed his life.
The government found out he was the source. Instead of protecting a man who had served his country for decades, they quietly let his name reach the press. He was publicly identified, dragged before two parliamentary committees, and grilled by his own employer.
His wife said he came home a broken man.
On the afternoon of 17 July 2003, he left his house for a walk in the Oxfordshire countryside. He was 59 years old. He never came back.
His body was found the next morning in woodland. A knife beside him. A blister pack of painkillers nearby.
Here is where it gets worse.
Tony Blair personally intervened to replace the normal coroner's inquest with a private inquiry run by Lord Hutton.
The original inquest was suspended before it even properly began. It was never resumed. To this day,
Dr David Kelly is the only person in England and Wales in living memory to have died in unexplained circumstances without receiving a full coroner's inquest.
Lord Hutton concluded suicide. Case closed.
Except eight senior doctors and a former coroner wrote to @thetimes saying the verdict was medically unsafe.
The wound found on Kelly's wrist, a severed ulnar artery, would not cause fatal blood loss in a healthy person.
There were no fingerprints on the knife. The painkillers found were not in a quantity that experts considered lethal.
The government's response, delivered by Attorney General Dominic Grieve in 2011, was essentially: the Hutton Inquiry was good enough, stop asking questions.
Think about that. A man quietly raised concerns about the biggest political deception in modern British history, a war that led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. He was publicly exposed, professionally destroyed, and found dead days later and the government personally made sure there would never be a proper independent investigation into how he died.
Tony Blair went on to become a Middle East Peace Envoy. He has a knighthood.
Dr David Kelly got a private inquiry, a rushed verdict, and a sealed post-mortem report that was not released to the public for years.
Nobody was ever held accountable. Not for any of it.
This story should be on the front page every single year. Share it if you think it matters.

THIS is the truth of what happened but the judge would not allow the whole video to be shown or even for the defendants to explain the motivation for actions, THIS is not a functioning democracy or judiciary this is corruption on behalf of special interests!
