Russia Is A Major Regional Power Sick Of Being Humiliated And Pushed Around By Ignorant Outsiders

The Real Enemy Of My People Is Here.

Why should they ask me to put on a uniform and go 10,000 miles from home and drop bombs and bullets on Brown people in Vietnam while so-called Negro people in Louisville are treated like dogs and denied simple human rights?
No, I’m not going 10,000 miles from home to help murder and burn another poor nation simply to continue the domination of white slave masters of the darker people the world over.

This is the day when such evils must come to an end.
The real enemy of my people is here.
My conscience won’t let me go shoot my brother, or some darker people, or some poor hungry people in the mud for big powerful America.
And shoot them for what?

They never called me nigger, they never lynched me, they didn’t put no dogs on me, they didn’t rob me of my nationality, rape and kill my mother and father.
Shoot them for what?
How do I got to go shoot them, poor little black people, little babies, children, and women?
How can I shoot them poor people?
Just take me to jail.

Corruption In High Places?
In 2013, documents show that the UK conducted deals with Saudi Arabia to ensure they were elected to the UN Human Rights Council.
In 2015, shortly after they posted a job advertisement for eight new executioners, Saudi Arabia were ‘chosen’ to head the key UN Human Rights Panel.
And in April 2017, in a ‘secret’ ballot, Saudi Arabia was voted onto the UN Women’s Rights Commission.

Israel Supplied Argentina With Skyhawk Jets Used To Sink British Ships.

Foreign Office files reveal Israel sold weapons to Argentina at the height of the Falklands War.
British diplomats say there was evidence the military junta was supplied with arms such as Skyhawk jets, which would later be used to bomb British warships in the 1982 conflict.
Four British vessels were sunk by Argentine planes, including troop carrier RFA Sir Galahad, killing 48 sailors and soldiers.

The documents show Israel continued to sell arms to the General Galtieri’s junta during and then after the war.
Released by the National Archives, it adds that Israel was poised to sell Argentina spy planes designed to gather electronic and signals intelligence at the end of 1984.
By that point Israel had abandoned a former policy of denying weapons sales were taking place, and said they needed to do deals with Argentina to sustain its domestic arms industry.

They Died In Vain.
Homelessness, Food-banks, Loan Sharks, Poverty, Crime, Millions waiting for medical treatment, Benefits cut for the disabled and the vulnerable.
The brave souls who gave their life in two world wars for a better life for those they left behind will be saddened and grieved how life is for so many today.

Russia Could Have Been Our Friend.

The EU, urged on by the U.S., re-started the Cold War by encouraging Russia’s neighbours to join the EU as if the USSR still existed, and aggressively sought to detach Ukraine from Russia and draw her into the EU orbit, knowing very well that this would infuriate the Russians.
Russia could have been our friend if we had wanted that.

We rightly viewed the old Soviet Union as a global menace to freedom.
But Russia is no such thing.
Just a major regional power sick of being humiliated and pushed around by ignorant outsiders.

In February 1990, U.S. Secretary of State James Baker and German Chancellor Helmut Kohl promised Mikhail Gorbachev, president of the USSR, that if a united Germany joined NATO, the jurisdiction and military presence of the alliance would not expand “one inch to the East.”
On the basis of this oral commitment, Gorbachev agreed to the reunification of Germany with membership in the North Atlantic Alliance.

The Evil Empire.
Saudi Arabia, the long-term sponsor of intolerant Islamicism, is the most deadly enemy.
European governments have kowtowed to the kingdom for too long.
If we don’t cut our ties with the evil empire, terrorism will destroy the civilised world.

Celebrity guests included Gerard Butler, David Foster, Joanna Krupa, Katharine McPhee, Paul Reubens, Melissa Rivers, and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Quitting As A Tory Peer But Keeping Hold Of The Biggest Perk, The Title.

Andrew Lloyd Webber quit as a Tory peer, saying he couldn’t be bothered to turn up again to vote in the Lords because he’s too busy making money on his cheesy musicals in America.
He jetted in from New York two years ago to vote for a tax credits bill that would have cut the incomes of three million people by an average of £1,300.

He rarely graces us with his presence, though.
Lloyd Webber has less than a 2% attendance record in the Lords, having voted between 30 and 40 times in the past 20 years, and he almost quit the Tory whip last year because he was “fed up that I keep being asked to go in and vote for things about which I don’t have knowledge”.

Which is why he only made one notable speech, about the arts being “strangled” due to the “cult of austerity”.
The implications being that cuts are only evil when they deprive his luvvy projects of grants, but not when they rob working families of a cushion against despair.
Lloyd Webber’s Westminster career once again makes us ponder of these 800 lords, who cost taxpayers £68million a year.

What other job allows you to stay in it for two decades, turn up for work 2% of the time then ditch it when it gets in the way of your money-making projects while keeping hold of the biggest perk, the title?
Reading his resignation letter it seems he can no longer be bothered to fulfil the parliamentary role he pledged to, but likes the idea of him and his wife still being called Baron and Baroness Lloyd Webber of Sydmonton.

Well, it works wonders when you need to impress people.
Especially in America.
I’d have had a lot more respect for Lloyd Webber if he’d simply handed back his title of Lord and written: “Don’t cry for me Upper Chamber, the truth is I never joined you.”
Although such peerless honesty would never catch on.

Royal Mail Shareholders Are Paid £500,000 EVERY DAY In Dividends.

Two years ago the then Chancellor Tweeted these words with pride:
“We’ve finished process of returning Royal Mail to private sector.”
He was embarrassingly wrong.
Our mail service had never been in the private sector as it was set up for the nation by Henry Vlll and stayed in public hands before being hurriedly flogged by Osborne’s Government in 2013 to hedge fund sharks for £1.6billion below its market value.
His tweet continued… “Right thing to do for Royal Mail workforce, customers and the taxpayer.”

Again, completely wrong as the Mirror exclusively revealed this week.
Since privatisation the workforce has been cut by 11,000 and workers are so demoralised they want to strike over pensions and wages.
Customers are paying an extra 12% for stamps and the taxpayer watches impotently as Royal Mail shareholders take £500,000 every day in dividends from a national treasure we owned for 500 years until economic vandals came along.
It’s bad enough that these Tories are sharks.
It’s even worse that they’re sharks with the intelligence of plankton.
