"No argument as to why recommendations aren’t followed but to use that as a basis for not holding a national enquiry into arguably the biggest criminal episode in modern history in the UK."

Since the Post Office scandal, since the infected blood scandal, since Windrush, since Hillsborough etc etc.

Still waiting for people in authority to be brought to book for all of the above. People not so bothered about justice for these though for some reason.

Plus a lot of stuff is already known so the notion that it will take 10 years and £30m is grossly exaggerated.

If a lot is already known why a new inquiry then?

Incoming US President Donald Trump has said in a phone interview with the US-based Newsmax network that a Gaza ceasefire deal is very close and could be realised by the end of this week.

“We are very close to getting it done,” Trump said on a segment with the network’s Rob Schmitt Tonight show, when asked about the continuing negotiations.

“They have to do get it done, and if they don’t get it done, it’s going to be a lot of trouble out there, like they have never seen it before.

“I understand there’s been a handshake and they’re getting it finished, maybe by the end of the week,” Trump added.

Ceasefire will last about 2 days before one of the protagonists decide to chuck over a few drones or rockets to try and take advantage.

The special counsel report states that Trump would have been convicted had he not won the Presidency.

What a backwards ruling.

This is a decent listen. There's parts 1 & 3, part 3 is also really good. Sums up the current post capitalism world we live in at the moment.

Yet America promotes itself as the bastion of justice and democracy

A growing number of Israeli soldiers are speaking out against the Israel-Hamas war. They say they did or saw things that crossed ethical lines. Some 200 soldiers have signed a letter saying they’ll stop fighting if the government doesn’t secure a ceasefire.

And yet none of them will face punishment for their crimes.

Deranged terrorist Ben Gvir:

“The deal that is being formed is terrible. I know its details well: it includes the release of hundreds of murderous terrorists from prisons, the return of Gazans, including thousands of terrorists, to the northern Gaza Strip, withdrawing the IDF from the Netzarim axis, and returning the threat to the residents of the encirclement - thereby effectively erasing the war achievements that have been achieved with much blood by our fighters, so far, in the Gaza Strip.

Not only that, it does not lead to the release of all the hostages, and seals the fate of the remaining hostages who are not included in the deal to death.

Our withdrawal alone will not prevent the deal from being implemented. Therefore, I call on my friend, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, to join me in full cooperation against the terrible deal that is being formulated, and together to inform the Prime Minister clearly and firmly that if the deal is implemented, we will withdraw from the government together.

I emphasize: Even if we are in the opposition, we will not bring down Netanyahu, but this move is our only chance to prevent its implementation, and in fact to prevent the surrender of the State of Israel to Hamas, after more than a year of bloody war.”

Isn't that what insurance is for?

C4 News:

Group-based offences account for 3.5% of child abuse victims.

Grooming gangs make up 18% of group based offences.

About 10% of grooming gangs are predominantly of Pakistani-based heritage.

This all points to an enquiry targeted solely at ‘Pakistani grooming gangs’ potentially addressing a *maximum* of 0.06% of child abuse cases.

Oh, I agree 100%.

Insurance companies also shouldn’t be allowed to withdraw offers or carve out exemptions.

And those responsible for the climate disaster we’re starting to see the real, painful effects of should be helping to pay for the damage it is wreaking.

Climate change doesn’t exist, until it comes to insurance policies.

Some insurance company CEO will be getting popped soon I reckon.
