The strikes against pension reforms have massive support in France (Picture via: libcom.org

Though the situation for those needing to use public transport in France has improved slightly in the past week on nationwide strikes in protest at the government’s proposed reforms to labour law and retirement pensions entered their week. Official spokespeople claim there has been progress in negotiations with unions, but there is little observable evidence to support this.

However, the crisis hitting France, one of the world’s biggest economies at the height of the holiday season is far from over.

Anti-government protesters maintained the pressure on President Emmanuel Macron with a new march through Paris in yesterday afternoon. Some workers are determined to to maintain the general strike throughout the holiday period and into the New Year.

SNCF, the state owned rail system said about 60 per cent of trains were at a standstill, down from 90 per cent earlier in the strike but enough to disrupt life in the nation. Provincial cities have suffered fewer problems but in Paris tourists and commuters alike are still struggling to move around the French capital, due to buses and the subway system as well as local train servuces being hit by the industrial action.

The centrist Macron, a former investment banker, wants to raise the retirement age to 64 and says the current pension system costs too much; unions say the pension reform is part of Macron’s plans to dismantle hard-won worker rights, and want to preserve a system that allows some workers to leave as early as their fifties.

Many protestors are angry that while Macron says the nation cannot afford to pay pensions the president is still inviting uneducated, unskilled, uncivilised, unemployable third world migrants to the country where they are fed, housed, educated and cared for at the expense of French taxpayers.

The protests against EU globalism and the unofficial appointment of Swedish baby troll Greta Thunberg as head of European environment policy continue to grow and become more disruptive. Last weeken it was France that bore the brunt of citizens anger, today it was Amsterdam and The Netherlands.

In a protest similar to previous ones in Germany and Netherlands, Amsterdam was gridlocked with throusands of farm tractors being driven slowly to disrupt traffic flow in the Dutch capital in a zero-notice strike following the Dutch government voting to pass new, highly unpopular green legislation that will damage the already struggling agricultural and construction sectors.

While the protest was peaceful and good humoured, with Dutch Newspaper De Telegraaf reporting that farmers gave out hot coffee to the police officers on duty in the cold weather, armoured vehicles manned by the Dutch government’s military police were seen deployed at likely flashpoints as the tractors got closer to the parliament buildings. Protests in France against green laws that will be ruinous for farmers and transport businesses have frequenntly become violent.

The protest clearly took the police by surprise, and its planning took place in secret, with organisers reportedly referring to it as a “surprise attack” on Amsterdam.

The “surprise attack” came in response to the government passing an EU law enforcing with draconian penalties strict limits on nitrogen emissions, with similar laws being passed by the democratically elected governments of all European Union member states in response to the diktats of unelected bureaucrats in Brussels on green policies. Farmer’s groups dispute the way emissions are measured and claim their work is not as damaging as governments claim, and regardless, as their protest banners state without farming there can be no food.

The smooth - face pen pushers in their luxurious offices haven't thought that one through have they?

Particularly supportive of the farmers case is Anti - EU politician Geert Wilders, who while notorious for his opposition to the Islamification of the Netherlands and Europe, is a populist and stands with voters against the European Union. He called the farmers “heroes” Wednesday and said he supported them against the anti-nitrogen “frenzy” that would destroy their livelihoods.

As the government of Poland has today stated its desire to leave the EU it can only be a matter od time before this cultural Marxist attempt to merge the free and democratic member states into a Soviet style federation crumbles.

The wiser heads in what was the Labour shadow cabinet before the election advised after the crushing defeat by Boris Johnson's Conssrvatives that he party must shake off its elitist London intellectuals and get back in touch with the working clas core vote. It was wise and good advice, which ensured of course that Labour Party managers were going to ignore it.

And it hasn't taken long for the loony lefties to regroup and resume their journey into the political wilderness.

Current front runners to take over the leadereship when (or if) Jeremy Corbun steps down are millionaire lawyer Lady Nugee and millionaire lawyer "Sir" Kier Starmer. Coincidentally both are "human rights lawyers" i.e. not proper lawyers.

Lady Nugee, who prefers to be known as Emily Thornberry, likes to claim her father was a civil servant. He was, but he was not a clerk in some local benefits office or something similar, he was Assistant General Secretary of the United Nations. And Lady Nugee has the audacity to claim she's from an ordinary, working class background.

Thornberry has announced today that she will bid to become the next leader of the Labour party.

The shadow foreign secretary used her leadership bid to criticise Jeremy Corbyn, as she called out his decision to back Boris Johnson's "Brexit election" and took aim at the lack of his team's "deep political insight".

"Sir" Kier Starmer (how did he get to be Sir? you might well ask -. Good Question.) Starmer, who claims his dear old Dad worked in a factory,) served as Director of Public Prosecutions under the last Labour government It is traditional to honour DPPs when they leave office, but this award seems particularly inappropriate as he prevented the police and courts upholding the law impartially and is largely responsible for politicising the justice system. Starmer was in post for 5 years, and did enormous damage particularly in the area of denying women legal protection from abuse. As DPP, he was utterly useless. because he spent his time in the post advancing left wing political agendas. It is his fault that the complainants evidence in r#pe cases is substantially discounted by jurors. It was his decision that most of the charges at the first trial of serial rapisr John Warboys were dropped, thus he escaped the 'campaign of r#pe' higher sentence which was given when he came to trial again with a Conservative government in office. It was actually Boris Johnson's girlfriend Carrie Symmonds who undid Starmer's bid to legalise rape with her successful campaign to overturn Warboys parole and get further convictions.

It's unlikely Starmer will be chosen by the loony lefties of Momentum a Labour leader so incompetent that women will have to rely on a Conservative MP's girlfriend to protect them.

During Starmer's time as Director of Public Prosecutions, not only did he intervene to prevent police and local authorities taking action against gangs of mostly migrant men involved in the grooming and abuse of vulnerable under - age girls, (read more HERE, HERE, and HERE,) citing the need to avoid causing inter - racial tensions, he also ignored there increasingly desperate calls by campaigners for prosecutions for female genital mutilation. He sat on his hands, called for more information, set up committees and working groupsand did nothing. It is estimated that in each of his years in office 20,000 girls were abused and mutilated in this way. A recent report suggests that 170,000 women and girls in the UK are now affected.

In the absence of criminal justice sanctions, Starmer didn’t even encourage Social Services and Police to use child protection legislation to protect girls. Nor did he call for mandatory reporting to Social Services by the health personnel who witness the injuries and deal with the resulting medical complications arising from repeated gang rape or botched female circumcision. Pregnancy and childbirth complications caused by FGM have a particularly brutal effect on the victim as the vaginal is stitched to make it tighter so that intercourse will be painful for women. In some cases doctors have been asked by husbands to restitch women’s genitals after childbirth – surely evidence of conspiracy to commit an assault and a clear indicator of physical risk. No action has been taken in such cases even though medical and witness evidence made an irrefutable case .

Starmer has said that FGM is difficult to prosecute because it takes place in “secret” and there are few complaints and that in grooming cases evidence is not reliable. However, this is true for many forms of child abuse and domestic and sexual violence - and there have been many successful prosecutions of such crimes, based on careful investigation undertaken on the basis of reasonable suspicion or genuine risk. In such cases, even if prosecution has proved to be impossible, the intelligence gathered has been used to safeguard children.

In 2012 journalists filmed doctors agreeing to carry out abortions at the request of men of certain alien cultures, for no other reason than that the foetus was female. Gender selection abortion has always been ilegal under UK law. Starmer justfied the decision of the Crown Prosecution Service to take no action against the doctors, judging it not to be in the “public interest” ( Labour's avoid irritating migrants at all costs policy again?). Lord Macdonald, a former Director of Public Prosecutions, described the decision as “very dubious,” by which he means politically motivated rather than based in law.

The CPS said the key reason for the decision was that the doctors would still be investigated by the General Medical Council. But Lord Ken Macdonald said this amounted to letting them “avoid criminal action” because of their professional status — undermining the basic principle that “everyone is equal under the law”. In other words Starmer was, and is, guilty beyond reasonable doubt of aiding and abetting the commission of crimes.

There has been a public outcry about the failure to prosecute FGM and sexist abortion, but so far little has been said about the Crown Prosecution Service’s other great failure – namely that it has not prosecuted adult men who have illegally married and had sexual relations with so called ‘child brides’ – nor parents who have colluded in this practice, in effect trafficking or pimping their under-age daughters. I predict this will be one of the next great public ‘scandals’.

Keir Starner has been in a position to publicise and take action against all these issues, but he has not done so. In truth, he has failed to protect women and girls from sexist violence and abuse, We must assume that his decisions guided by his desire to safeguard the migrant vote for Labour, as in their last electoral strongholds, the suburbs of London and the other large cities, they rely on the migrant vote to hold many parliamentary seats.

One thing is certain, with clowns like these as serious contenders for the leadership, Labour's showing at the next election is only coing to be worse and more catastrophic than the most recent one.

Poor old Canada, the USA's northern neighbour, ruled by Trudeau the tyrant of Toronto (yeah I know it isn't the seat of government but it alliterates, OK) who seems to be running the country in a way he hopes will atone for his student antics when his favourite party trick was to black up and portray "comedy nigger" characters. Trudeau. from whom we expect an announcement very soon that he now identifies as a black, Irish, one - legged, lesbian, dyslexic dwarf single parent so that everybody in the nation (except for normal people) will feel included, is leading an administration that gets crazier by the day in its efforts to be politically correct.

We read today of a case in which two Canadian men Two Canadian men were fired from their jobs after one of them was heard using the term ‘Eskimo’ in a private conversation.

The two men were boarding a flight from Labrador to Newfoundland when Dave Beck said the word “Eskimo.”

His friend Thomas Scott responded by asking, “Can you smell him?”

The conversation was overheard by by Inuit Nation member and former Labrador MP Peter Penashue and other passengers.

Beck and Scott, who worked primarily as plasterers and painters, had been working on a hotel renovation project overseen by Kankote Enterprises.

“In spite of several years on the job, and being the only two Kankote employees at the remote Churchill falls, both men were fired and had their names dragged through mud – reducing future job prospects,” reports National File.

There's only one possible response to that really:

When a man rows old, & his balls grow cold And the end of his knob turns blue,
It bends in the middle like a one string fiddle
He can tell you a tale or two.
So buy me a beer and lend me an ear
And a tragic tale I'll tell
Of Dead-eye Dick and Mexican Pete,
And a girl called Eskimo Nell.

There are many versions of this bawdy poem online, you can read a similar one to the version I know HERE although you may notice mine scans properly and uses true rhymes.

Facing life as a single man for the first time in 45 years is still filling my time, thanks to my friends we are keeping The Daily Stirrer going. Today, as we, Labour haers all, wallow in schadenfreude after the crushing defeat that elitist party suffered in the election, we'll have to rely on outside help in the form of a brilliant article from Shirelle Jacobs in the Telegraph and an equally brillian comment from Katherine Viners - Payczech (that sounds like a made up name, but whoever she is, congratualtions to the lady for her insight and pespicacity. But the best summing up of the reasons for Labour's failure are summed up in a comment made by a working class, former Labour voter in one of the old steel towns in the west midlands.

One Black Country voter described him to me recently as a “snotty Islington weirdo who hates Britain like the vegans hate Sunday roasts”.

There is no way back for the pig-headed, pulverised Labour Party

by Sherelle Jacobs, 15 December 2019

In the harsh light of this brilliant new dawn, the Labour Party has never looked more ugly. Jeremy Corbyn is writhing defiance made flesh. Despite leading his party into the worst defeat since 1935, he growled in his final speech that his manifesto policies had “huge popular support”.

His frontbench henchmen are out in force on the BBC, whining nasally about the difficulties of “cutting through the noise of Brexit” and conspiracy theorising the power of “the Murdoch Press”. Meanwhile Momentum is squirming stupidly like a snake that has been drained of its venom. Its leader Laura Parker can only grudgingly hiss on the airwaves about the need for a “period of reflection”.

Labour seems to have already convinced itself that this rout is a blip; that the heartlands has “lent its vote” to the Brexit cause temporarily, and will inevitably gravitate back to the Left. The BBC, meanwhile, appears convinced that the witless masses have succumbed to American-imported populism, and the subliminal witchcraft of the phrase “Let’s get Brexit done”. This is metrollectual nonsense. The working-class has deserted the Labour Party en masse because it does not – and crucially, cannot – speak for them.

To understand this important point, you need to go back to the beginning. When it formed in 1900, Labour was not a socialist uprising, but a practical trade union movement. It had no dogma, doctrines or draconian teachings. It simply believed that workers should have a mechanism for negotiating a better deal from their employers. That is the working-class way – resourceful, aspirational, and unafraid of a barney with the Establishment if necessary.

Sadly, a strain of middle-class fanatical socialism that is alien to the British working class infiltrated Labour within a generation ... READ FULL ARTICLE in The Sunday Telegraph

and from the comment thread

Katherine Viners-Peyczech 15 Dec 2019 5:32PM

Sherelle, you've given one of the more incisive dissections of the cadaver that is neo-Labourism that I've read in recent years.

I interact with fewer and fewer of the contemporary left, as I find their cloying pretensions to decency and thoughtfulness to be anything but.

They are incorrigible and impervious to the feedback of those they presume to speak for and "protect."

My mixed-race daughter recently tore into one of their ilk - a boilerplate Guardian reader - for insisting on using the gag-inducing term 'people-of-colour' and proclaiming she faces racial discrimination on a daily basis - and get this - denies it due to a psychological alliance with the oppressor group (read 'white people.').

They do the same with the working-class. No matter how effusively we speak to our own life experiences and political convictions, the more they entrench in their conviction that we do so in contradiction to their perception of things because we lack their intelligence, wisdom, and foresight.

Damn them, and their corrupt, corrupting creed! They've hijacked the culture, and the next task must be to wrest it back.

In Thursday's election Labour, the people's part so long as hose people are millionaires, media luvvies, human rights lawyers or academics, suffered its worst election defeat since 1935, with the left-wing party losing 24 seats to Boris Johnson’s Conservatives as a result of working - class voters abandoning the perty that they feel has abandoned them in favour of minorities. left wing intellectuals and the professional and managerial class. Politically correct values are luxuries people in the lower income groups can't afford, yet it is those groups who suffer most as a result of Labour's vanity projects and virtue sigbnalling.

The Red Wall is a term used to describe the industrial areas of Britain's midlands and north. Red is Labour's campaign colour and on a political map if every constituency was colured for the party that held it, there was previously after each election a solid red band from coast to coast, covering Lancashire, east, west and south Yorkshire, and extending down to Warwicshire and Leicestershire. This was the Labour heartland, a densely populated area with many constituencies peopulated by industrial workers and their families. The breadwinners worked in coal mines, steel plants, engineeering and manufacturing. The regions, like the Rust Belt in the United States, were where the working class dominated politics and typically voted Labour as the inhabitants of the US rust belt states voted Democrat.

Until the Brexit referendum in 2016 it was considered an established truth that the Red wall, like the ice wall in Game of Thrones, was impregnable.

Since the beginning of the New Labour era, however, when leaders and later Prime Minister Tony blair famously said his party was the very relaxed about people getting stinking rich, Labour has increasingly turned its back on its working-class roots and pivoted towards a leadership focused on a London brand of left wing, progrssive, intellectual elitism and politically correct politics. And because society has become unvbalanced by the deification of science and the cult of celebrity, the Conservatives under David Cameron alllowed themselves to be dragged along the same trajectory.

When Corbyn backed a second referendum on the EU in July 2019, it left five million Labour Leavers politically homeless.

This was a mistake, some Labour MPs will admit, with the party’s chairman, Ian Lavery, telling the BBC: “What we are seeing in the Labour heartlands is people very aggrieved at the fact the party basically has taken a stance on Brexit the way they have.”

“Ignore democracy, and, to be quite honest, the consequences will come back and bite you up the backside,” Mr Lavery added.

Before dawn, senior Labour shadow minister John McDonnell admitted that they lost votes primarily because of Brexit — and to Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party, not the Tories.

However, whether Labour gave their votes to the Brexit Party or Conservatives, the working-class backlash translated to a Tory win in 24 seats of the Red Wall.

We have previously highlighted this report from Finland which exposes the great flaw in "the science" of global warming. The link at the end of this extract takes you to a much more complete account of the research project which, not for the first time debunks the fake science on which the politically - motivate climate change scare.

from natural news

The climate change hoax has collapsed. A devastating series of research papers has just been published, revealing that human activity can account for no more than a .01°C rise in global temperatures, meaning that all the human activity targeted by radical climate change alarmists — combustion engines, airplane flights, diesel tractors — has virtually no measurable impact on the temperature of the planet.

Finnish scientists spearheaded the research, releasing a paper entitled, “No Experimental Evidence for the Significant Anthropogenic Climate Change.”

The paper explains that IPCC analysis of global temperatures suffers from a glaring error — namely, failure to account for “influences of low cloud cover” and how it impacts global temperatures. Natural variations in low cloud cover, which are strongly influenced by cosmic radiation’s ability to penetrate Earth’s atmosphere due to variations in the strength of our planet’s magnetosphere, account for nearly all changes in global temperature, the researchers explain ...

Elderly Swedish citizens kicked out of their apartments to make room for Muslim invaders

from Summit News

Dozens of elderly native Swedish tenants were forced to leave their apartment homes in an area of Stockholm after the block was closed, only to be re-opened immediately and occupied by Muslim migrants to replace the former tenants.

Residents at Dianagården were told they would have to leave because the toilets in the facility were 5cm too small to comply with regulations. However, soon after the 48 apartments were emptied, they were filled with newly arrived migrants.

“It was later revealed that politicians planned that immigrants would instead move into the premises,” reports Fria Tider.

In 2015, Sweden accepted more refugees per capita than any other country, and despite worsening problems with sexual assaults, grenade attacks and violent crime, the inflow shows no sign of being seriously restricted.

A recent opinion poll found that the anti-mass Muslim migration Sweden Democrats are now the most popular party in Sweden. The Sweden Democrats would get 24.2% of the votes if an election was held today, beating the ruling Social Democrats.

Back in October, Leif Östling, former CEO of trucking company Scania, warned that Sweden is heading towards civil war due to uncontrolled mass immigration.

“We’ve taken in far too many people from outside. And we have. Those who come from the Middle East and Africa live in a society that we left almost a hundred years ago,” he said.

Sadly the Swedish goverrnment consists of such pathetical, emotionally needy, virtue signalling, leftie, intestinal parasites, they give in to every demand made by Muslim community leaders in migrant communities, even if this means inflicting total injustices on Swedish people. So much for their socialist bullshit, as George Orwell wrote in Animal Farm, "all the animals are equal,but some are more equal than others.

They've been at it again throughout the current election cycle, and of course there is no more truth in the claims than there ever was before. But the lefties forget, as they glefully point at any conservatives whose heads appears over the parapet, "Witches, burn them," that the Labour government, between 1997 and 2010 under the traitor and war criminal Tony Blair privatised much of the NHS. (Our local super-hospital where my wife was recently murdered by bureaucratic institutionalised incompetence was built by one of Blair's Private Public Finance initiatives and is now owned by a subsidiary of HSBC, making it, perhaps, an NHSBC hospital.)

So those leftie claims that the "evil conservatives" planned to sell off our 'precious NHS' qyickly start to look rather empty. And that is before we have considered the detail of Labour's plans for the NHS.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn made the repeated accusation that Boris Johnson's government, if re-elected with a majority in parliament, will see the NHS to American healthcare companies as part of a free trade deal informally discussed between Johnson and US President Donald Trump. Corbyn and his Stalinist bagman John McDonnell, along with other party figures and left leaning joursnlists in mainstream media continue to repeat this in spite of both men offering assurances that the NHS was not “for sale” and the document Corbyn and his cronies claimed revealled a secret deal containing no evidence that any such deal had been discussed.

Corbyn’s attempts to expose his imaginary Anglo - American conspiracy by producing a 451-page document “proving the NHS is for sale” during a press conference on November 27 were debunked when it was revealed that the NHS was only mentioned four times, with US officials only once asking about the UK position on our 'health insurance’ system”. The other times the UK Health Servive was mentioned were all in the context of allowing US pharmaceutical companies access to the NHS for their products.

****

Despite this, the stunt has caused quite a storm, but it can be revealed how Labour were actually the first to float the idea of privatising health services in the UK.

Tony Blair took office in 1997, with the promise of removing “internal markets” in the NHS – the idea that Health Authorities ceased to run their hospitals, but “purchased” care from their own or other authorities hospitals.

However, during his second term, Mr Blair announced his administrations intention to strengthen links with the private sector as part of his plan to "modernise" the NHS. Driving Labour's planned reforms were factors including the rising costs of medical technology and medicines, the desire to increase standards and "patient choice", an ageing population, and a desire to control government expenditure.

It was these plans, now more than ten years old, that Corbyn referred to in his docdgy dossier on plans to sell the NHS.

Picture: Daily Expres

Corbyn's stunt caused a storm in an eggcup on social media as the usual suspects jumped on the bandwagon to accuse Boris and his party of planning to sell the NHS, but it is widely known that Labour were actually the first to float the idea of privatising health services in the UK, although Margaret Thatcher's conservative government in the 1980s introduced the idea of an internal market (whatever that means') to the NHS and also encouraged the outsourceing of certain services such as janitorial duties and waste disposal.

A Labour government under Tony Blair took office in 1997, and quickly introduced the concept of PFI, Private Finance Initiativs (also termed Private - Public partnerships,) the idea that Health Authorities ceased to own their hospitals, but hired them from private companies as a managed facility. Many left wing commentators were horrified and dismissed the idea as a 'licence to print money' for the private half of the partnerhip.

In 2006, Blair welcomed 11 private healthcare providers, including private health insurance firm Bupa, into this “NHS family,” in a bid to drive up the quality of services provided. Blair made his and Labour's intentions clear in 2006 when he said “By 2008 we could have as much as 40 perrcent of acute operations done in the private sector being done under the NHS banner.”

The network's spokesman, Mark Smith, admitted the changing healthcare market meant the independent sector was increasingly looking to the NHS for business. He said some companies had "specific targets for a large number of patients to be NHS patients in the future because undoubtedly things are changing. Wherever people are treated – in a traditional hospital, an independent hospital, a new treatment centre or in the community – it is the protection afforded to them of tax-funded healthcare, according to need and not ability to pay, which makes them NHS patients.

Nice try at wrigging out of Labour's committment to privatising the NHS but between 2004 and 2014, demand for NHS services increased rapidly and hospital admissions increased by 32 percent, outpatient attendances by 17 percent, primary care consultations by 25 percent and community care activity by 14 percent. The only way the massive, clumsy, centralised bureaucracy that runs service could cope was by outsourcing more work. Research carried out on behalf of the GMB trade union, which represents many NHS workers, shows 15billion of health service contracts have been handed to private companies since 2015. And yet the service is still failing to cope with increased demand.

So far in 2019 £3.3billion, or 63 percent, of contracts have been given to organisations in the private sector. So though Labour Party spokespersons have not admitted as much in public, these figures prove that their manifesto committments to increase spending on health must include further outsourcing of work to the private sector. Far too much of what the organisation does has already been handed to the private sector for the position to be reversed. So Blair's plan to put more work out to the private sector, carried on by the Conservative . Liberal Democrat coalition from 2010 and by the Conservatives from 2015 is still in place. And it has to be said that the NHS, in permanent crisis now, would have collapsed without it.

Labour planned to privatise 40% of NHS as Corbyn takes aim at Johnson

General Strike brings France To Standstill As Nation Protests Macron Policies

France has been closer to social breakdown than the political establishment in the EU and their mainstream media sock puppets will ever admit since the the gilets jaunes demonstrations at their height nearly torched Paris and other cities. It would be a mistake to think, as television news bulletins and large circulation newspapers have suggested that support fot the protest movement has dwindled or the national mood is any less angry. Last month we reported on protests promted by new, over - zealous restrictions on agriculture imposed by the EU, as thousands of French farmers drove their tractors into Paris and other cities and blocked the main highways. Today, in responce to calls by unions and activist groups for a nationwide strike, public workers across the country stayed home on Thursday, immobilizing public transit across the country as the first general strike in more than 20 years began. The main reason for the walkout was President Emmanuel Macron's pension reforms (not unlike how a planned - then scrapped - gas tax hike sparked the giles jaunes). On the fist day of the strike, which is planned to last through the weekend, parts of Paris resembled ghost towns during the morning rush hours. Roads were empty, and train stations were deserted, according to the Times.

The biggest industrial action of Macron's tenure is, so far, outweighting by a huge margin the Yellow Vests protests in scale: 50% of French teachers are reported to be off work, nine out of ten trains have been cancelled today and eleven of the fourteen lines in the Paris Metro are closed. A total of 245 separate demonstrations have been announced across France as students, police officers and firefighters, healthcare workers and others joining the action. Striking ground staff at Air France forced numerous flight cancellations, leaving thousands of travelers stranded. Air France cancelled 30% of its domestic flights and 10% of international short- and medium-haul flights on Thursday, RT reports. Millions of workers are staying home. In Paris, some commuters and shoppers resorted to bikes, skateboards or walking in the bitter cold as buses and underground trains failed to run. Some joked that the strike had made Paris into a much more 'eco-friendly' city. This way of looking at the situation must have appealed to thousands of Extinction Rebellion activists and other environmentalist groups who took the opportunity to link their the climate action agenda to the protests. The strike is expected to continue until Monday as the unions and Macron butt heads over the controversial pension reform proposals. Paris police are deploying 6,000 riot police to do battle with demonstrators who have decided to take their yellow vests out of the closet and back into action.

Many of the French capital's most popular tourist spots were forced to shut their doors because of the strikes. The Eiffel Tower and the Orsay museum did not open on Thursday, while the large parts of The Louvre, the Pompidou Center and other museums were mostly closed with only the most popular exhibits accessible. Outside the busy Gare du Nord railway station taxis lined up with their green lights on, struggling to find customers in the deserted streets. Of more immediate concern for Macron and his beleagured government is the fact that dozens of gilet jaunes protesters are blocking the nations major fuel terminals in the south and near the city of Orleans, leaving more than 200 petrol stations without fuel on Thursday, while another 400 report they will run out on Friday. If that action persists the country could be at a standstill by the end of next week. These blockades show the protesters have a coherent strategy which could bring the country to its knees and force Macron out of office or at least into a humiliating climb down. No matter how many times political leaders wax lyrical about the wonders of clean, green, sustainable energy, society still needs oil, in spite what the Swedeish Baby Troll Greta Thunberg and her supporters wish for.

Germany sliding into 'dangerous' anti-Europe hysteria warns top economist

Isobel Schnable - worried about anti EU mood in Germany

As Germany's economy continues to stutter one of the country’s top economists has warned the country is desending into “anti-Europe hysteria” amid growing criticism in the country of the European Central Bank (ECB) and surging support for the Eurosceptic, anti - immigration AfD Party.

Marcel Fratzscher said the entire European Union would be damaged by the backlash against the ECB’s austerity policies and the cost to Germany of propping up the single currency. Mr Fratscher is chief of the German Institute for Economic Research in Berlin and has also been an executive of the Eurozone’s central bank. He told UK financial newspaper The Financial Times: “Germany is sliding into a dangerous anti-Europe, anti-ECB mood, which threatens to damage the ECB’s credibility, the Euro an ultimately all of Europe.”

The warning comes less than two weeks after Chancellor Merkel's ruling coalition suuffered heavy defeats intwo regional elections and Germany’s newly appointed ECB board member Isabel Schnabel called on her fellow economists to tone down their scathing analysis of the ECB's performance. Ms Schnabel, an economics professor at the University of Bonn, predicted a crisis for the Euro if Germans did not take a step back to reflect on their country's direction. Unfortunately for EU fans in Germany, voters have had years to reflect on the direction in which Merkel is leading the country and have decided they do not like it.

In an attempt to appeal to other German economists Schnable tweeted: “Dear fellow German economists, if you are wondering what you can do for Europe: Please help to dispel the harmful & wrong narratives about the ECB's monetary policy, floating around in political and media circles. These threaten the euro more than many other things.”

This is rather spurious as nobody takes any notice of economists because they are always wrong. And the voters are in no mood to listen.

Unfortunately, the majority of Germans are opposed to further political and economic integration of EU member states, the country is politically polarised and with left and right more opposed to the idea of working with each other to bring down the government than they are to allowing Merkel's centrist coalition to blunder on with the country politically paralyzed, it seems things can only get worse. In another blow to The Chancellor, her main coalition partner, the Social Democrats (SDP) this week lurched to the left by electing a far left candidate as its leader.

Salvini Accuses Leftist Govt of Giving Away Italian Sovereignty to EU

Italian Prime Minister Guiseppe Conte, aonter European leader prepared to betray his country

Matteo Salvini leader of the hugely popular Populist League (Lega) party, which, despite having a democratic mandate, was excluded from the government of Italy by a stitch up enigineered by the Euronazi EU Commission in Brussels, has accused Giuseppe Conte the Italian prime minister apponted by the EU, of handing over Italian sovereignty to the European Union bureaucrats without parliamentary approval with changes to an EU bailout fund.

Changes the European Stability Mechanism (ESM), a fund that gives emergency loans to countries and banks, has been criticized by Salvini and his colleagues in League, who argue that the new system could force Italy to restructure its massive debt in a way that would have the subsequent negative effect of preventing the heavily indebted nation from leavthe Euro single currency, according to a report from Reuters. We should remember that it was the EU's forcing Italy to join the single currency system that is responsible for most of Italy's current economic woes.

On Friday (29 Nov,) Salvini said that the reform was a danger for Italian sovereignty and that, as was the case with the creation of the single currency system, the beneficiary would be Germany, which has banks in crisis, such as Deutschebank which recently laid off a large section of its workforce after losing billions of euros this year. The future of Deutschebank is still in doubt as the bank was forced by the EU to buy €€€billions of negative performing bonds from the EU's basket case economies to fund previous bail outs.

Salvini, who along with his party becomes more popular with Italian voters as a result of every EU power grab, went as far as to address Italian President Sergio Mattarella directly, stating that if Prime Minister Conte signs the treaty to go ahead with the reform “it would sanction a sale of unbalanced national sovereignty.”

We expect the collapse of the Brussels appointed, pro Brussels government in Rome imminently.

Scientists Counter Claims That ‘Meat Is Evil’

by Thomas D Williams, Breitbat Europe

A team of UK scholars have fired back at unscientific claims by PETA and other groups that veganism is a “greener” option that eating meat, insisting that meat has “massive social benefits.”

Speaking at a panel in central London, scientists from the University of Edinburgh and Scotland’s Rural College argued that eating meat is crucial for the physical and mental health of children, especially in developing countries, adding that that alternatives to livestock farming would not improve land use.

“We feel that while livestock production has a range of economic, social and environmental costs and benefits, the costs have perhaps been receiving far more attention recently than some of the benefits,” said Professor Geoff Simm, Director of Global Academy Agriculture and Food Security at the University of Edinburgh.

“Meat has massive social benefits,” Simm said. “It’s an important source of dietary protein, energy, highly bioavailable micronutrients, even small amounts of animal-sourced food have a really important effect on the development of children, in the developing world on their cognitive and physical development and they are really important.”

Simm also said that claims that veganism would benefit land use are not based on serious research, the Telegraph reported ... READ ALL >>>

Sharia Spain: Prosecutor demands prison sentence for man who criticized Islam on Facebook

“The accused, identifying himself by name, posted on his Facebook account messages ‘in which he promoted the animosity, rejection, exclusion, aggression and confrontation against Muslim people, as well as against people of foreign origin, black and gypsy ethnicity.'”

This story fastidiously avoids giving any examples, so we can’t evaluate what was actually said. Since all too often honest analysis of the motivating ideology behind jihad terror is falsely characterized as promoting “animosity, rejection, exclusion, aggression and confrontation against Muslim people,” this could be essentially an imposition of Sharia in Spain. Once a group is beyond criticism, that group is a protected class in society, with a free hand to do what it wishes, however unjust. This kind of ruling is leading to Muslims becoming that protected class in Spain ... READ ALL at Jihad Watch >>>

Stockholm: 51% Of Women Feel Unsafe Going Out At Night

A new survey shows that 51 per cent of women in Stockholm, Sweden feel unsafe going out at night, while the number who feel insecure in the daytime has doubled. According to the County Administrative Board’s new citizen survey, more than half of women feel insecure in the evenings while the overall figure who feel unsafe rose from 33 per cent to 44 per cent.

Since 2011, the proportion of citizens who feel unsafe in their own residential area during the daytime almost doubled from 11 per cent to 20 per cent.

“The growing insecurity in Stockholm is also underscored by the fact that more and more county residents are refraining from activities due to concern about being exposed to crime, such as walking, cinema or visiting acquaintances,” the report stated.

34 per cent of county residents now say they have ceased almost all outdoor activity due to fear of crime, compared to 20 per cent who gave the corresponding answer in 2011 ... READ ALL at Zero Hedge

UK Cancer Charity: Biological Females Are Now "People With A Cervix"

by Simon black at sovereighman.com

Are you ready for this week’s absurdity? Here’s our Friday roll-up of the most ridiculous stories from around the world that are threats to your liberty, your finances, and your prosperity. Apparently it’s not just women who can have babies…

It all started when a British cancer charity decided to drop the word “women” from their pap smear ad campaign.

It seems that suggesting “women” should get pap smears to test for cervical cancer is discriminatory and not inclusive enough… so the charity instead started advertising to “everyone aged 25-64 with a cervix”.

Lynsey McCarthy Calvert, a professional birth coach and spokeswoman for a nation association of birth coaches in Great Britain, responded with a Facebook post.

She wrote that she was not a “cervix owner,” but rather an “adult human female,” and that “women birth all the people [in the world].”

She was then immediately accused of transphobia by the woke patrol on Facebook, who took offense as Lynsey’s “absolutely disgusting language.”

Apparently it’s “disgusting” to acknowledge your own biological facts. READ FULL STORY >>>

EU should fear the jihadists it’s backing in Syria, not refugees – Assad

from RT

In an exclusive interview with RT’s Afshin Rattansi, Syrian President Bashar Assad said it’s hypocrisy for European nations to fear that Ankara will send refugees to Europe, but continue to sponsor terrorism in Syria.

The Syrian leader argued that the primary concern for Europe should not be the Syrian refugees which Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan now threatens to release to Europe, but the “hundreds of thousands” of jihadists Europe allied itself with.

How can you fear those few millions, the majority of them are moderates and they have few terrorists, while you support those terrorists directly in tens of thousands at least and maybe hundreds of thousands in Syria and you don’t fear that they’re going to go back to your country?

Assad told Afshin Rattansi that while there might be some extremists among those who fled the war-torn country, the majority of the refugees do not pose any acute threat, as opposed to hardened jihadists who may turn on their patrons ...

First a note from one of our Daily Stirrer contributors: We have been absent from the web for most of October because on the 8th of the month Teresa, the wife of our site owner, editor and webmaster Ian Thorpe, died suddenly when after a long illness she seemed to be improving steadily. As Ian's expertise in attracting traffic to the site and skill as a writer and editor (a role he does not relish,) are vital, we decided to suspend our efforts untik such time as he decided if he wanted to continue.

It has been a few tough years for Ian, who as a disabled person himself was ill equipped to be thrust into the role of carer for his wife, some regular visitors may have noticed the site has been falling apart for a while. It will take a while to get back on track, but we have decided we will carry on, recent events have shown more than ever that publications in any medium that challenge the establishment narrative are desperately needed.

E//v ?Bubble Burst? Tesla's US Sales Crashed An Astonishing 39% In Q3

The release of Tesla's 10-Q this morning has revealed some very unflattering truths behind last week's "stunning"(ly massaged) Q3 earnings report, which prompted a massive short squeeze and a nearly 30% jump in the company's stock since last Thursday.

The company's surprise "profit" disclosed last Wednesday shocked investors and left skeptics of the company befuddled as to how to explain the jarring swing back to "profitability".

Many skeptics suspected that the 10-Q would shine light on variables like warranty reserves, capex and A/P being juked to produce an impressive, yet unsustainable, earnings print.

And while most suspicions were proven accurate with the release of today's 10-Q, there was one truly staggering indicator that far from soaring, Tesla stock - when stripped of all the accounting magic and potential fraud - should be plunging.

Behind all of the fancy financial engineering, Tesla's U.S. sales fell off a cliff to $3.13 billion in the third quarter from $5.13 billion a year earlier. This marks an astonishing 39% drop that would have resulted in the immediate termination of any other auto CEO.

B***h, please! Banning ‘sexist’ language won’t make sexism disappear, any more than banning racial slurs killed racism

A Massachusetts congressman wants to end sexism by punishing sexist language - specifically the word “b***h” – with fines and even jail. But policing speech doesn't kill the underlying sentiment – that requires real social change.

Massachusetts Democrat Daniel Hunt's bill to ban the “b-word,” fining offenders $150 on the first offense and $200 or six months in prison if they can't stop saying it, sounds like the kind of joke conservatives might make to poke fun at the uber-liberal Bay State. But the bill – titled ‘An act regarding the use of offensive words’ – is real. Worse, any witness to the use of the word can complain.

Yet again, arrogant Remainers have completely misjudged the mood of the nation

by Robert Taylor, Daily Telegraph

What is it about Leavers that makes us so easy to write off? Is it that we don’t shout and scream, but calmly register our views at the ballot box? Is it because a lot of us live away from London, out of view of Westminster shenanigans? Or perhaps it’s because we tend not to occupy positions of power and influence?

Whatever the reason, for as long as I can recall, we have been underestimated, and dismissed as a mere nuisance to be swatted aside.

Twenty years ago, Eurosceptics argued against Britain joining the Euro. We were right, of course. We saw disaster ahead. But the great and the good, the experts, laughed in our faces, scoffing at our stupidity. Prevailing opinion at the Financial Times was fairly typical.

What We've Lost To Globalism

by Charles Hugh Smith for Two Minds blog

A documentary on the decline of small farms and the rural economy in France highlights what we've lost in the decades-long rush to globalize and financialize everything on the planet-- what we call Neoliberalism, the ideology of turning everything into a global market controlled by The Tyranny of Price and cheap credit issued to corporations and banks by central banks.

After Winter, Spring (2012) was made by an American who moved to a small village in the Dordogne region of France to recover something of her childhood on a small Pennsylvania farm.

The farmers--self-described as paysans, peasants in English, (a translation I don't consider entirely accurate, for reasons too complex to go into here)-- describe the financial difficulties of earning enough to survive without outside jobs.

One young farmer who is taking over the family dairy from his aging parents encapsulates the economic reality of small farms: in the 1960s, they had 3 or 4 cows, now they have 100, but their income is the same.

Corporate mega-farms can produce huge quantities of agricultural products of questionable quality because they have the scale, access to cheap credit and expertise to deal with the voluminous bureaucratic paperwork imposed by the EU and the French government. (One slip-up on a form and you're sunk if you're a one- or two-person operation.)

The Coup Has Begun – The Empire Strikes Back Everywhere

by Tom Lun>go There are no coincidences in politics. Everything happens on a particular schedule. So when I see a day as crazy as today I have to ask the question, “Why this, why now?” Look at the headlines and you’ll see what I’m talking about. All of these things happened since I woke up at 7:30am Monday morning in Florida: The British Supreme Court just arrogated unprecedented power to itself by inserting itself into any dispute between the Government and Parliament. This upends more than 300 years of constitutional process. The Democrats have announced they will pursue impeachment charges against President Trump because an unverified, hearsay whistleblower made a complaint about a phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenski. Impeachment odds soared overnight as someone was tipped off about the Democrats’ plan. [...] This feels to me like a multi-level coup against those that dare stand athwart the global power structure. Both British and American leadership institutions are under sincere attack with these moves. The not-so-subtle message is, “We own you. We are in control and always will be.” Your champions will be harassed until they are completely neutered and bereft of any ability to implement the changes you want.

Technology was supposed to make us more capable. Instead it has made us scarily dependent

The promise of technology, we were once told, is to liberate us to achieve our true potential. But it’s becoming clear that our current technological direction is only making us hopelessly dependent on technology.

For much of post-industrial-revolution human history, technology has been synonymous with progress, held up as the key toward liberating humanity from life’s daily drudgery. Technology has promised to make things easier and elevate the species. But much technology emerging today has only increased our dependence on technology by rendering obsolete many of the skills we once relied upon.

Tesla, Musk Omitted Key Aspects Of SolarCity Acquisition From Ernst & Young, Shareholder Lawsuit Claims

Newly unsealed court documents published by PlainSite on Monday reveal that shareholders are accusing Tesla of improperly valuing its acquisition of SolarCity, providing "flawed analysis and misleading investors", according to CNBC. They also allege that Tesla withheld key information about its acquisition of SolarCity from Ernst & Young.

The lawsuit was filed in 2016 and is one of the more notable legal actions proceeding against Tesla and Elon Musk, who also face lawsuits regarding solar panel fires and Autopilot deaths - in addition to the ongoing defamation lawsuit by Vern Unsworth.

Tesla commented that the allegations lodged against it are: "...based on the claims of plaintiff’s lawyers looking for a payday, and are not representative of our shareholders who support our mission and ultimately voted in favor of the acquisition."

The company continued, stating: “The accusations made in the plaintiff’s brief are false and misleading, as Tesla and SolarCity published all material information in its proxy and other public filings for all shareholders to consider before deciding on the transaction.

European Carmakers Face Perfect Storm

Picture: Zero Hedge

Authored by Irina Slav via OilPrice.com,

European carmakers are facing what could turn out to be a major crisis cooked up by EU regulators, and it’s all about EVs and emissions. The former are supposed to help solve the problem with the latter, but the likelihood of success is uncertain because there are literally millions of variables: car buyers.

The EU has been enforcing emission caps on cars since 2012. Until this year, this cap has been an average of 130 grams of CO2 per kilometer for all new passenger cars. Beginning next year, however, this would be reduced further to 95 grams of CO per km. In fuel consumption, the 130 g/km cap corresponds to an average 5.6 liters of gasoline per 100 km while the 95 g/km cap corresponds to 4.1 liters per 100 km.

Europe’s big carmakers are lining up the EVs. Volkswagen alone is planning four new EV models for 2020, after earlier this month it unveiled its first mass production affordable EV, the ID3. More models should be coming from the top carmaker in the next few years and its rivals will not be sitting idly by. Everyone who makes cars in Europe has an electric lineup… but there are no guarantees that people will want to buy those cars.

Paris brought to a standstill by anti-Macron transport protests

by Arthur Lyons, Voice of Europe

On Friday, public transport workers in Paris staged a coordinated walk-out against Macron’s planned pension former which caused the worst disturbance to the French capital’s public transport network in more than a decade. The strike represents the first major action taken against President Macron’s plan to standardized ‘universal’ pension system. The plan would see one single points-based pension system created out of the 42 different systems which currently are in place right now, the Local reports. Massive traffic jams and large crowds waiting at the platforms with at least a few lines still working were both triggered by the protest.

Big Bang theory wrong? Star older than Universe discovered

from The Daily Express

The Universe is thought to have popped into existence some 13.8 billion years ago when an infinitesimal point expanded billions of lightyears across in just a fraction of a second. The Big Bang theory has stood for the best part of 100 years after Belgian physicist Georges Lemaître first proposed in 1927 the expansion of the Universe could be traced back to a single point. However, the well-accepted model is now under the microscope after a team of researchers found a star which appears to be older than the cosmos.

A star know as “Methuselah star”, or scientifically called HD 140283, is situated about 200 million lightyears away and has stumped experts. Analysis of the star showed that it contained very little iron content, which would suggest that it formed during a period when the iron element was not abundant in the Universe. This in turn led to the discovery the star is 14.5 billion years old, some 0.7 billion years older than the Universe.

Experts met at a conference in California in July in an attempt to solve the mystery, but so far questions have just led to more questions – and it could lead to a “scientific revolution”.

Jeffrey Epstein has been found "nearly unconscious in a fetal position inside his New York City jail cell, according to the New York Post, citing sources close to the investigation. The 66-year-old convicted pedophile is being held in the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in lower Manhattan pending trial. He was found semi-conscious with 'marks on his neck,' according to the report - which adds that investigators are still trying to figure out what happened. As NBC New York also reports, "Two sources tell News 4 that Epstein may have tried to hang himself, while a third source cautioned that the injuries were not serious and questioned if Epstein might be using it as a way to get a transfer." A fourth source told the outlet that assault has not been ruled out - as investigators have questioned former Orange County police officer Nicholas Tartaglione in connection with the incident. Tartaglione was arrested in December 2016 on suspicion of killing four men in an alleged cocaine distribution conspiracy, before burying their bodies in his Otisville yard, according to court records.

Yanis Varoufakis bombshell: Pound to Euro Exchange Rate 'Paradox,' weakness of pound against Euro is good news for UK

posted by Phil. T Looker, 22 July 2019

Former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis claimed the reason why the euro is valued so highly compared to the pound or US dollar is because of a “delicious paradox” which sees the Eurozone actually being on the verge of a dramatic break-up, newly-resurfaced footage reveals.

Despite the uncertainty [surounding Brexit], the euro has largely remained strong since the 2016 referendum but, according to former Greek Finance minister Yanis Varoufakis, there is a shocking reason why this has occurred.

Mr Varoufakis called it a "delicious paradox".

In a 2018 debate at the Oxford Union, the Greek minister explained: "Why do the money markets value the euro so highly compared to the pound, the American dollar?

“Suppose you are a Singaporean, Chinese, American or even a German investor, and for some reason, you agree with me that the fragmentation of the Eurozone is at an advanced stage, and the euro has never been weaker or more problematic.

"Should you sell your euros?

"No, let me share a secret with you. You should shift your euros to a German bank account.”

Mr Varoufakis explained that if the Eurozone breaks up and all the countries revert to their pre-euro currencies, euros held in German bank accounts will be re-denominated into Deutschmarks, which will be stronger than any other European currencies because of the country's "huge account surplus".

"I've Had Many Strange Experiences In My Life" - Inside Epstein's 'Honey Trap' On E 71st Street

Authored by Eric Margolis via EricMargolis.com I’ve had many strange experiences in my decades of covering intelligence affairs. These run from being invited to KGB HQ in Moscow, Chinese intelligence in Beijing, US intelligence in Virginia, Libyan intelligence in Tripoli, South African intelligence, and even Albanian intelligence in Tirana. But none was odder than the day I was invited to lunch in New York City with the by now notorious figure Jeffrey Epstein. The golden boy of Manhattan and Palm Beach society now sits in a grim jail cell accused of having sex with underage girls. He’s been doing this in plain view since the early 1990’s but, until recently, he seemed bullet-proof. Continue reading More on elitist child abusers

Iran Urges UK To Rein In 'Deep State'; Germany Warns Of "Uncontrollable" Escalation

from Zero Hedge

Iran’s ambassador in London warned on Sunday that the UK government must get its "domestic political forces" pushing for regime change under control or else the two countries will face dangerous escalation. The public statement came two days after the British-flagged Stena Impero was boarded and captured by IRGC commandos, and over two weeks after the tanker Grace 1 was seized by UK Royal Marines off Gibraltar.

Iranian Ambassador Hamid Baeidinejad urged via his personal Twitter account that continued pressure on Iran would be "unwise" given that Tehran stands “firm and ready for different scenarios”.

The ambassador said the UK government must “contain those domestic political forces who want to escalate existing tension between Iran and the UK well beyond the issue of ships” — in what appears a reference to the UK defense establishment and its allies ... Continue reading

EU bombshell: The international plan that 'could have saved EU' – but bloc didn't listen

By Martina Bet, Daily Express, 190629

The EU, which has its roots in the National Socialist and Fascist parties of 1930s Europe, has been heading towards ever closer financial and political union (or is plain language, Federalism,) for decades but, before the Maastricht Treaty was signed, effectively transforming the old European Community (EC) into the more politically structured European Union (EU) a group of international academics and intellectuals called for the bloc to be redesigned in a move that would have "saved" the bloc's fate, unearthed reports reveal.

Mr Johnson said the UK must leave on October 31 "deal or no deal" while Mr Hunt called this a "fake deadline" that could trigger a general election.

Both men also claimed they would renegotiate a deal with the EU, despite the bloc stating on many occasion it will not reopen negotiations.

As uncertainty continues, a newly-resurfaced statement, seen by Express.co.uk, suggests that Britain might not have been in this situation if the bloc had listened to an international plan.

Academics and intellectuals around Europe wrote and signed a “declaration of principle” in 1990, with the aim of “redesigning” the EEC appropriately before the signing of the Maastricht Treaty. READ ALL >>>

Society is Sick with Validation Fever.

from Terry James blog at Minds

There is a meme going around for a while, its called Clown World, represented by Honkler, Pepe the frog dressed up as a clown, where everything is upside down and crazy. While it certainly works(and enraged the left), for me, it doesn't hold as much weight as seeing the West as sick with Validation Fever. And what is Validation Fever? Its forcing everyone to be validated. The foremost example, for me, is transgender people. Trans people deserve to live the life they want to lead free of violence(full disclosure, I have a trans relative who I actually like a lot as a person). But that doesn't mean we push trangenderism on three-year-old children and destroy women's sports. Men are not women. Women are not men. For example, pretending men can get pregnant is insane. If you can get pregnant, you are a woman, full stop! Calling yourself a man doesn't change reality. Its validation fever setting in. Trans people must be validated, despite being 0.3% of the population, and to do so, you must accept a warped world view which breaks down the second you apply the logic to anything other than gender. "I'm a dragon, you must refer to me as a dragon and bow down to me when you see me, because I am a dragon and deserving of worship. Not going to pretend I'm a dragon? You're a dragonphobic bigot." I'm sorry, while you can do what you want, I'm not going to pretend a trans woman is an actual women. Just because you say it is, does not mean it is. Sorry...

‘I’m still a big advocate of enlargement!’ Juncker admits EU expansion plans go beyond Europe

EUROPEAN Commission president Jean Claude Juncker has revealed plans for a bigger EU as Britain battles to unchain itself from the bloc’s 46-year hold.
The politician from Luxembourg boasted of his plan to expand Europe in an interview with Polish newspaper Rzeczpospolita, in which the reporter took him to task about the minimal amount of times he has bothered to visit Warsaw. Mr Juncker said: “I would like to remind you that when I decided to expand the Union, I was this great advocate. Only nobody remembers it!” When confronted about not visiting Poland, he went on to list times he has not bothered to visit other member states, such as the UK.

Huddersfield Grooming Gan g‘Drugged, Raped and Trafficked’ Girl from Age of 11, Court Told

A young girl living at a children’s home in Huddersfield was “deliberately targeted” for years of sexual abuse by Mohammed Akram and Usman Khalid, a jury has heard.

The Yorkshire Examiner reported “extremely vulnerable” victim “could properly be described as a little girl” when Huddersfield residents Akram, 33, and Khalid, 31, began grooming her to be raped and abused throughout her childhood, the prosecution alleged.

“They each, on separate occasions, took her out of the children’s home where she was living without permission and with a sinister, ultimately sexually motivated, purpose,” prosecutor Richard Wright QC claimed in Leeds Crown Court.

Jurors heard how, after she was allegedly targeted by the defendants in the West Yorkshire town, the girl “found herself drawn into a world in which she had little or no control of her life and was utterly unable to make truly free or informed choices about anything where sex was concerned”.

“Throughout her childhood she was deliberately targeted by men who wanted to use her for their own sexual purposes,” said Mr Wright, stressing that “This case concerns her childhood when, as you will hear — and it is important that you understand that there is no dispute about this — she was raped and abused by multiple men over several years.”
