In Phoenix’s Largest Homeless Encampment, A Dead And Burned Fetus Has Been Found

A couple found a dead and burned fetus in Phoenix’s biggest homeless encampment as they tried to put out a fire.

Arizona police received a call about an endangered child near West Madison Street on Saturday around 1 am. When they arrived at the scene they discovered the charred fetus that was about 20 to 24 weeks, according to police.

One eyewitness told a neighbour that he and his fiance saw someone light a fire in the street. The couple then tried to put it out when they saw the tiny body.

The homeless crisis in Phoenix has been growing since the pandemic with 3,096 as of this year.

Joel Coplin told 12 News that he said that his fiance came and was trying to put the fire out, and then he went to stamp on it to put it out and discovered it was a baby in there.

He said he saw the head, a perfectly shaped head, and little arms, hands, legs and chest. He then grabbed his fiance and turned away so she wouldn’t see it, and he was freaked out, he then called 911. The fetus was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Phoenix homeless encampment the fetus was found at, known as ‘The Zone’ by some, is one of the several developing tent cities in the Arizona state capital that grew during the pandemic.

Joel Coplin’s home overlooks the streets nearby where the fetus was found. He wasn’t in complete shock about the discovery, and he said that anything could happen around there and that they were right down here in ‘The Zone’, and anything and everything does happen.

According to 12 News, about 1,000 homeless people are now sleeping in the encampment as of October 27.

A lawsuit was recently launched and heard in court about the conditions of the encampment after property owners sued earlier this year.

City officials also said they were working to resolve the homelessness problem, and suggested the opening of a new homeless shelter.

Thousands of people were declared homeless in Phoenix during the pandemic in 2020, with faeces and garbage scattered throughout ‘The Zone’ that’s nearby luxury apartment buildings and restaurants.

The current homeless tally in Phoenix was 3,096, according to city officials. The rise in rent and the pandemic were at the forefront of blame for the increase since 2020 when 2,380 homeless people were reported.

All we can hope for now is that the fetus was already dead before it was set alight, and the fetus definitely deserved better, but this is just another day in Joe Biden’s new America.

What’s happening to the world that we live in?

The homeless crisis in America is simply horrific, and the whole situation is just overwhelming all around, and Joe Biden’s America is a nightmare, and being homeless isn’t a crime, and this fetus was a baby, not really a fetus, a human being, and it was set on fire, and now it seems that life is cheap.

America is a prosperous place, who would believe that they would have a problem like this going on in the world? And it appears that thousands of people have been cut adrift and left to rot – what a sick world we live in!

Humans are a plague on this planet, and America is in rapid decline, and Americans really have no education, and the fact that they have homeless encampments means that America has miserably failed as a society.

Despite The Dismissal Of Virginia Giuffre’s Lawsuit, Outcast Prince Andrew Plans To Fight Back And Return To Public Life

Prince Andrew was said to be preparing for a fightback as he was adamant to return to public life, which could still be feasible.

It comes after Prince Andrew’s accuser, Virginia Giuffre, dropped a case she’d brought against American lawyer Alan Dershowitz, saying she may have made a mistake when she accused him of sexual abuse.

A source said that everything had changed and Prince Andrew was determined to fight.

Prince Andrew, 62, paid Giuffre, 39, a reported £12 million to settle a civil lawsuit in which she accused him of sexual abuse, but he’s always and vehemently repudiated the claims.

It came as he spent yesterday shooting with Princess Anne, Prince Edward and other members of the Royal Family on the Windsor estate.

King Charles was also seen in Windsor and is believed to have joined his siblings in the afternoon, but a Buckingham Palace source said the King hadn’t attended the shoot, which took place two days before His Majesty’s 74th birthday.

The Duke seemed relaxed as he enjoyed lunch with Anne, her husband Tim Laurence, and Edward and his wife, the Countess of Wessex.

Sophie Winkleman, the wife of Freddie Windsor, was also seen with the Royal group on the Windsor estate.

The pictures of the family group revealed that Prince Andrew, far from being out in the cold, still has the support of members of his family, yet he wasn’t present at the Cenotaph as he’s no longer able to take part in Royal occasions.

He was also missing from the Festival of Remembrance at the Albert Hall, which remembered those who battled in the Falklands conflict in 1982, in which Prince Andrew served with the Royal Navy.

A newspaper outlet revealed that Prince Andrew was left bereft and in tears, after the King made it clear to him that there would be no way back for him at ‘The Firm’.

The Duke is said to have been blindsided by the outcome of the private meeting, held at Charle’s Birkhall estate in Scotland, just days before the Queen’s demise, but his ex-wife and loyal supporter Sarah Ferguson was jubilant after news of Miss Giuffre’s breakdown.

A friend added that there was a feeling Prince Andrew wanted to forge onwards with a new life but the only person who could agree to that was the Monarch, which means that these discussions would have to start all over again now that there is a new King. Nevertheless, it doesn’t seem that the public wants him back, but some do because they believe that he was set up by a dreadful woman.

This was not a fair trial where Prince Andrew was concerned, it was a witch hunt – they may as well have drowned him and then waited to see if he came up alive, and now his credibility has been lost even though he’s not been found guilty of anything.

He might not be completely blameless for past deeds, even if it were by association, but there is no actual proof that he actually did anything bad. The photos of him could have been fake. I mean, how easy is it these days to fake a picture – 1, 2, 3 and it’s done, and then the media cop hold of it and it’s there for life? They say that what’s in the newspapers today is tomorrow’s history, but unfortunately, that’s not actually true because it’s archived for another press release and then it raises its unsightly head all over again.

So, even though Prince Andrew has never been convicted of a crime, he should bow down gracefully and live a quiet life, apart from family dinners and family parties.

Non-Barcoded Stamps Won’t Be Banned Until Next Summer

A prohibition on old non-barcoded stamps has been postponed until next summer in a remarkable victory for The Mail on Sunday and letter writers across the United Kingdom.

The Royal Mail’s climbdown also sees forms and Freepost envelopes being made available at post offices, making the process of exchanging old stamps for new ones much easier.

Royal Mail is rolling out barcoded stamps, which it states will help tackle fraud and make it easier to track posts, but an abrupt cut-off on January 31 to use old stamps led to fears that Britons, particularly the UK’s 12 million pensioners, who post much more than younger people, would be left with tens of millions of unused and useless stamps.

MPs, watchdogs and customers welcomed the move by the postal service in response to The Mail on Sunday’s campaign.

They’d urged Royal Mail to extend the looming deadline and called for the company to make it easier for those who need to change their old stamps for the new barcoded ones.

Before their intervention, customers had to download and print a form from the internet, which was unpopular among many senior people who prefer to do things face to face.

Royal Mail said that it had listened to the MoS and its customers and decided that the deadline, in less than three months, was too soon.

Matthew Parkes, managing director of stamps at Royal Mail, said that in order to give their customers even more time to use up any remaining non-barcoded stamps, they had chosen to introduce a six-month grace period commencing from the original deadline of January 31, 2023, where non-barcoded stamps would still be delivered as normal.

He said that to make things even easier for their customers, they have also agreed with the Post Office to include the forms to allow customers to exchange stamps alongside Freepost envelopes in its branches, which means that customers will be able to fill out a form, insert into a Freepost envelope with any remaining non-barcoded stamps and hand it over for posting in a Post Office branch.

Royal Mail had already changed its mind about the prohibition on pictorial stamps, such as Christmas ones, earlier this year. As a result, stamps with images, even ones that don’t carry a barcode, will continue to be valid.

Tory MP Alexander Stafford, vice chairman of Westminster’s all-party philately group, said that the Mail on Sunday was to be hailed for standing up for the rights of Royal Mail and Post Office customers across the nation.

The problem now is that stamps are a waste of money with people sending mail that never gets to where it’s supposed to go. What kind of company gets away with not doing what consumers pay for?

Royal Mail are greedy and stamps are so costly, it’s no surprise people are now sending more emails and cards electronically.

Stamps have actually no real value at all, they’re just tiny scraps of paper. It’s the service we’re paying for, which presently we’re not getting because they keep going on strike.

The change over of stamps is simple. Do the same as the Bank of England and run the old stamps for a time, with both stamps in circulation, then when all the old stamps have become outdated you can take your old stamps to the post office and swap them for the new bar-coded ones.

All they required was a bit of logic and common sense. They could have used TV and social media advertising campaign, being able to exchange old stamps for new ones at the Post Office, or perhaps even most logical of all, not changing the stamps at all, or allowing both types to be used. Britain never used to be this disorganised, what happened?

Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab Accused Of Hurling Tomatoes At Civil Servants From Pret a Manger Salad

Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab is facing a string of claims that he mistreated civil servants amid reports he angrily hurled tomatoes and has been nicknamed ‘The Incinerator’.

It follows claims that Ministry of Justice staff was offered a way out of the department when Dominic Raab was reinstated as Justice Secretary amid apparent concerns over his past conduct in the position.

Dominic Raab is alleged to have presided over a culture of fear during his previous time there, with unknown civil servants arguing he acted in a derogatory, rude and aggressive way, with one branding him a bully.

On one occasion, he is said to have thrown tomatoes from a Pret a Manger salad across a table in a fit of anger because he wasn’t happy with the way he was being briefed.

Dominic Raab has also reportedly earned himself ‘The Incinerator’ title because he burns through staff so fast.

A spokesman for the Deputy PM dismissed the allegations as complete hogwash and said he always acted with the utmost professionalism, but more accusations about Dominic Raab’s behaviour emerged dating back to his time as Brexit Secretary in 2018.

According to a newspaper outlet, a formal expression of concern was sent to the Cabinet Office about his behaviour but no further action was taken.

However, fellow Tories rode to Dominic Raab’s defence, with MP Helen Grant stating she’d witnessed an extremely worthy Minister with high professional standards when working with him when he was Foreign Secretary.

Tory MP Eddie Hughes also said he’d never seen Dominic Raab be disrespectful to anyone during his time in the housing or Brexit departments, adding that he was extremely hard-working and expects others to be as well.

There appear to be a lot of official complaints being made against Dominic Raab, but they were all alleged, and who made these complaints? What did this man really do? Oh yes, he launched a tomato because he was having a bad day. Don’t most people have bad days, it’s what makes us human beings, although I’m sure some in parliament are still walking on their knuckles.

Can we please stop this now and focus on getting this mess of a country back on its feet? Honestly, the cost of living crisis is far more important than a few tomatoes.

Let’s be real here, tossing a tomato at a civil servant is hardly headline news. Now if it had said he hurled a hand grenade, that may have gotten some response.

What is the media trying to do? Make these MPs and civil servants into gangsters – it was a tomato, not a machine gun – next, they’ll be calling Dominic Raab ‘Al Capone’.

Dominic Raab was just being a typical Tory and chucking his toys out of his pram, only this time it was a tomato! He’s not a bully, he’s just a powder puff.

Charles Will Give Staff A One-Off Bonus Of £600 Out Of His Own Pocket

According to sources, King Charles III will hand staff on lower wages a bonus out of his own pocket to help them to get through the cost of living crisis.

A newspaper outlet reported that the new ruler has told hundreds of royal employees that they will be given up to £600 on top of their pay this month.

As winter draws in and fears of a recession loom, the one-off sum is expected to go towards covering rising energy bills and mortgage costs.

The staff members who will be receiving the financial boost are said to include cleaners, footmen and servants.

Over the summer, Charles, then Prince of Wales, asked MoneySavingExpert Martin Lewis, who he awarded a CBE, for a brief to try to understand how rising energy bills were impacting people.

As part of the Palace’s reported scheme, staff making less than £30,000 a year will receive £600, while those on higher wages will get one-off payments ranging from £200-£400 depending on their earnings.

Rather than coming from the taxpayer, the bonuses are expected to come from the King’s personal income.

Single workers living in accommodation supplied by the Royal Household are expected to receive £200 each. Meanwhile, those with earnings between £30,000 and £40,000 will receive £400 extra.

Figures recently revealed that there are 491 full-time staff employed at the inhabited royal palaces, which include Buckingham Palace, Balmoral and Windsor Castle.

It comes ahead of next week’s budget, in which Chancellor Jeremy Hunt is expected to limit public sector pay rises.

Buckingham Palace has been contacted for comment.

This is an extremely nice gesture from King Charles, although I suspect he will get a lot of criticism, whatever he does, but no matter how large or little it is, every bit benefits, but typically only envy will come from those who don’t receive it.

However, if the King actually wanted to be plentiful, he would be giving his workers a permanent pay rise. He’s a multi-billionaire, he should pay them a proper wage in the first place, so that they don’t need handouts, but then let’s not forget that he paid his staff their full wages out of his own funds during the lockdown when they couldn’t work, and he didn’t take the Government furlough payments.

The King didn’t have to do that, and it’s a very thoughtful gesture, and how many other men of means would do that? Hey Rishi Sunak, perhaps he should be taking a gold leaf out of the King’s book and supporting those out there that are becoming destitute!

Due To Cost Of Living Concerns, Almost TWO-THIRDS Of Britons Are Rationing Heating At Home

New figures reveal that almost two-thirds of Britons say they’re taking measures to ration their heating because of the cost of living crisis.

In numbers which show the despair felt by the country about the state of its and their own finances, more than half (56 per cent) are also worried about how they will heat their homes this winter.

Numbers released by the Office for National Statistics also reveal that two-thirds have trimmed down on non-essential spending, and more than four in 10 have cut down on their food shopping.

It comes as Chancellor Jeremy Hunt prepares to give his Autumn Statement next week which is expected to include tax rises and public spending cuts.

Last week the Bank of England warned the United Kingdom faced the latest slump in more than a century.

The ONS found that the cost of living remains the area of biggest concern to voters.

More than nine in 10 (93 per cent) said it was an important issue, compared to the NHS (82 per cent), the economy generally (79 per cent) and climate change (66 per cent).

Some 91 per cent of those polled said their cost of living had increased in the past year, with 77 per cent noticing an upsurge in the past month.

Almost half (47 per cent) said they didn’t expect to be able to save any money in the next year.

The most common actions

The most common actions reported by all adults because of the rising cost of living were spending less on non-essentials and using less gas and electricity at home.

Also, about half (46 per cent) of adults with a mortgage reported being extremely or moderately concerned about changes in mortgage interest rates.

Jeremy Hunt warned of a difficult road ahead as it revealed the economy went into reverse in the third quarter.

The Chancellor suggested he’s engaged in a damage limitation exercise after a 0.2 per cent fall in GDP between July and September, saying his Autumn Statement aims to make any recession quicker and shallower.

The figure wasn’t as bad as feared, after the Bank of England and analysts pencilled in a 0.5 per cent contraction for the UK plc in the three months. However, it suggests the UK might already be in a downturn, technically defined as two consecutive quarters of decline.

Many people are worried about putting their heating on, and some still haven’t put their heating on at all and are just carrying a hot water bottle around with them.

It’s getting colder now and just getting up in the morning to go to the bathroom, it’s freezing and those people that don’t have a tumble dryer or do have one and can’t use it, clothes are taking ages to dry, and we haven’t even reached the really cold spell yet.

It’s almost like we’ve regressed as a society by almost 80 years, and our Government need to do something about this, especially now that they’re making record profits, and the people of the UK deserve better than this.

What we must avoid here is our elderly and vulnerable being left to freeze to death. Many elderly and vulnerable will die this winter because they won’t be able to afford to put their heating on.

So far this winter the weather has been rather mild for this time of the year, but still cold since we had such a hot summer, but the coldest months are yet to come with January and February approaching, along with a proper cold snap which will probably be quite brutal.

In A Swiss Factory, A Worker Falls Into A Vat Of Molten Aluminium At 720C

A worker miraculously survived after he fell into a vat of molten aluminium at a factory but managed to drag himself to safety.

The 25-year-old electrician fell into a furnace filled with 720C (1,328F) molten aluminium while he was working at the factory in St Gallen, northeastern Switzerland.

The young man was immersed in the molten metal up to his knees but managed to brave the pain and pull himself out of the furnace.

He had been carrying out work with a coworker on the furnace holding the aluminium on Wednesday evening.

The man fell into a circular opening at the top of the furnace.

Two emergency Swiss air rescue doctors and paramedics looked after him at the factory. He was then helicoptered to the hospital with extensive burns.

St Gallen City Police are investigating how the accident occurred.

This was a terrible accident, and this guy probably only endured that kind of heat because his nerve endings were fried, and it’s extremely doubtful they will be able to save his legs, that’s even assuming the poor man survives such horrendous injuries.

David Walliams Makes A Sexist Attack On A Female Competitor On Britain’s Got Talent

A leaked transcript has revealed that Britain’s Got Talent judge David Walliams branded an elderly contestant a ‘c**t’ and made sexualised and demeaning comments about a female contender while recording an episode of the ITV talent show.

David Walliams, one of the UK’s best-known television personalities and children’s book writers, was recorded referring to one contestant as a ‘c**t’ and saying of another: ‘She thinks you want to f**k her, but you don’t.’

The X-rated comments, told by a newspaper outlet, are said to have taken place during a recorded audition performance at the London Palladium in January 2020.

In one incident an older performer engaged in lighthearted repartee with the judges in which he made a jibe about David Walliams.

After the audition, the pensioner left, after which David Walliams is said to have described him as a ‘c**t three times.

Microphones used to capture the conversation between the judges picked up the remarks.

In a different incident, a female contestant auditioning on the same show had walked off stage.

When her performance was over, David Walliams commented that she was like the slightly boring girl you meet in the pub that thinks you want to f**k them, but you don’t.

David Walliams then repeated: ‘She thinks you want to f**k her, but you don’t.’

He later added: ‘I know, she’s just like: ‘Oh, f**k off!’ I was saying, she thinks you want to f**k her, but you don’t.

‘It’s the last thing on your mind, but she’s like: ‘Yep, I bet you do!’

‘No, I don’t! I had a bit of a b***r, but now it’s going, it’s now shrivelled up inside my body.’

The former judge of Britain’s Got Talent, Piers Morgan tweeted that the allegations were just the tip of the iceberg and he labelled David Walliams a nasty fraud.

Piers Morgan was a judge on the show for the first four series. While the fifth series took place with only three judges, David Walliams started judging on the show in 2012.

He judges alongside Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and Simon Cowell.

There’s no indication that the other judges heard the comments or made any such comments themselves, and these were the only such comments across three episodes looked at by a newspaper outlet.

In a statement, David Walliams told a newspaper outlet that he would like to apologise to the people that he made the rude remarks during breaks in filming for Britain’s Got Talent in 2020.

This is supposed to be a family fun show and David Walliams needs to go, but unfortunately, most celebs are unbelievably pompous, and now, maybe David Walliams can join James Corden for an omelette to discuss their trip to Cancelvill.

David Walliams is just another so-called, not-so-funny man on TV and this show’s definitely past its sell-by date, but then again, where would all these presenters be if the show stopped? Perhaps they’re past their sell-by date as well.

If a person who works in this industry doesn’t know about a hot mic by now, they never will, or they just don’t care. It’s not like he was in his living room, he was at work enveloped by audio and visual recording devices.

The trouble is, these people are so full of themselves that they truly think they’re better than and more noteworthy than other people – news flash, you’re not! And an apology alters nothing. It was clearly what he was thinking and saying at the time.

This show is no longer about British talent, so the title should be altered, and the selection of judges is the biggest issue. We don’t need judges that are barely attired, leggy brainless judges or mouth look at me, and we now need a new arrangement of judges that really concentrate on the artists and their talents.

Wetherspoon Hits By Cost Of Living Crisis

JD Wetherspoons is preparing to sell 39 pubs after it revealed slowing sales and substantially increased prices across the group.

The pub chain, which already sold off five sites for £1.9 million in the last three months, also announced it can’t rule out price increases.

The group saw like-for-like sales drop by 1.1 per cent in the five weeks to November 6 when compared with pre-pandemic trading in 2019, having increased by 1.5 per cent in the previous nine weeks.

Compared with a year ago, sales increased 10.1 per cent in the first nine weeks of its financial year and were 8.9 per cent higher in the past five weeks.

JD Wetherspoons now operates 23 fewer pubs than it did in March 2021, when it ran 870 outlets.

A newspaper outlet, following the announcement of selling off pubs, the group said most of the venues it had put on the market were within a mile or two of other sites.

It said trading was mostly in line with its expectations but that October had been a quieter month. The group added that costs, especially in respect of labour, food and repairs, were substantially higher in the first quarter.

Wetherspoons spokesman Eddie Gershon said Wetherspoons aims to be as competitive as possible in terms of pricing in its pubs. He said that with inflationary pressures on the hospitality sector, they couldn’t rule out price increases.

Shares in the company dropped 3 per cent in early trading on Wednesday.

Wetherspoon chairman Tim Martin said the company remains cautiously hopeful despite the cost of pressures hammering the hospitality sector.

He said he previously set out various threats to the hospitality enterprise and these continued to apply.

He said, those caveats aside, in the absence of further lockdowns or restrictions, the group remains cautiously upbeat about future prospects.

Pubs have been struck by a cocktail of cost increases as inflation sends prices skyrocketing, with staff requiring higher salaries and demand among cash-strapped pub goers wanes.

Tim Martin warned last month that the company was facing a significant challenge to persuade punters back into its bars after they got used to drinking cheap supermarket beer during the pandemic.

It came as the firm said last month that sales increased from £773 million to more than £1.7 billion in the year to the end of July, but were still behind the £1.8 billion the group made in 2019.

No business ever operates smoothly, it’s just another day in the office sorting out all the garbage, and in all fairness to Wetherspoons, they’re still a fantastic place to meet and start a night out, get a few cheap glasses in and then go on to someplace else.

They’re the best price pub in the United Kingdom. Two meals and two drinks, and a place for someone to meet up with their friends, and the staff are always pleasant, attentive and busy.

Yes, Wetherspoons might be having financial troubles, but it will probably endure whilst other smaller pubs will shut down because of the cost of energy, and it’s extremely hard running a business, and Wetherspoons is a huge premise with loads of overheads, but they’re prices are still the lowest you’ll find.

Eggs Pelted At King Charles And Queen Camilla

A man has been arrested after allegedly tossing eggs at King Charles and Camilla.

The Monarch and Queen Consort were walking around York, Yorkshire when they came under fire from a lone egg man.

As crowds assembled behind barricades lined across the pavement to a road closed off for the Royals to stroll down, vehement shouting could be heard.

Daily Mail’s royal expert Rebecca English reported that outside a row of independent businesses, someone shouted in the direction of the King that the country was built on the blood of slavery.

Uniformed police then rushed to swarm the suspected assailant under the supervision of men who appeared to be private security.

And if some people had their way, another royal might have been the new ruler of England, and he definitely didn’t harvest grand popularity with British citizens after the personal facts about his marriage to Diana, Princess of Wales became public knowledge.

People preferred William and Kate, the newly minted Prince and Princess of Wales, and they’re adored, along with their children, and people still have an affinity for Princess Diana, but she never wanted to be a queen, but she was the queen of people’s hearts, and that proved to be the case.

Charles publicly disclosed that he began having an affair with Camilla Parker Bowles in 1986 while he was still married to Princess Diana, and he also treated Princess Diana badly on a number of occasions, and the people who were extremely protective of Diana were simply unwilling to move past Charles past offences.

Many didn’t want to see Camilla as a queen, but now Camilla has the title of Queen consort, which came with the Queen’s approval before her demise.

People didn’t want a petulant King, and Charles isn’t exactly lauded by biographers, and even those with a credible link to him are quick to point out his faults, and he’s been portrayed as petulant and cold, and some of his private tirades and huffs have been made public, further hurting his reputation.

Until very recently, numerous British citizens were concerned about how effective Charles would be as King. The position of a reigning monarch isn’t one to be taken lightly by any means, and people worried that he wouldn’t rise to the occasion.

King Charle’s reign as king will inevitably be far shorter than Queen Elizabeth’s time on the throne, and the fact that Charles will have a much shorter reign concerns people.

King Charles doesn’t have the charm and warmth that Princess Diana had. He comes off as cold and has even been described as a snob. Prince William, on the other hand, has reached out to people much as his mother did, and he has a compassionate way about him, and that’s what many people want to see in a king.

King Charles has taken a stand on important environmental issues such as sustainability and climate change, but he’s fallen pitifully short on animal welfare matters. Whereas Prince Harry decided not to partake in a grouse hunt in 2018, Charles has gone so far as to call fox hunting ‘romantic’.

Charles has a record of not being loyal to important people in his life, or even to himself. He betrayed the love he had for Camilla to marry Diana, then he betrayed Diana to carry on an affair with Camilla, plus, he went against the royal family’s wishes for him about the divorce he ultimately chose, and while this was ultimately the right decision for him, it left people with lingering sour thoughts about him.
