Topless Woman Dashes Down Windsor High Street

A woman who whipped off her top and ran half-naked down Windsor High Street just after the minute’s silence to the Duke of Edinburgh has been accused of insulting his memory.

The woman removed a jacket to expose her breasts as she yelled ‘save the planet. Save the trees’.

She was apprehended by police and screamed as she was handcuffed while a security guard covered her with his jacket before she was escorted away.

She might have believed that she was going to attract attention, but it was embarrassing, and there are certainly better times and better places to do things like this, especially when people are trying to remember someone who has died.

And her sister Sara, 16, added that it looked like she’d come prepared for this because she had a yellow jacket on and then threw it off and exposed the top of her body, and she timed it just when the minute silence had ended and people had been applauding for Prince Philip.

Jaspreet Singh, 66, of Southall, said it was a shameful way to interrupt what was a very respectful minute silence for the Duke of Edinburgh, and that the woman appeared to have no morals exposing herself like this, and that if she was attempting to save the planet, that was not the way that she should have been doing it.

Linda Merryweather, 51, of Wimbledon, said that it was a rubbish way to protest and that there were perfectly good ways to protest and try to save the planet – not like that, when somebody has just died and who has done such a great service for the country.

And she said that she hoped that people quickly forget what occurred and remember Prince Philip with respect and pride. The same way that he respected and lived his life dignified.

The woman was handcuffed and taken away by police. Thames Valley Police was approached for comment.

However, after all the events of the day, I think that Prince Philip would have seen the situation as extremely entertaining, even though it was a really unattractive protest, and I had to look twice when it was said that WOMAN, and I think even the trees would have lost their leaves and withered and died if this person had wanted to hug them, and this was more like a Monty Python sketch at best.

Twitter Goes Down For Some In The United Kingdom Leaving Frustrated Users Unable To Log In Or Load Tweets

Twitter users were today experiencing outages as technical difficulties hit the network in the build-up to Prince Philip’s funeral.

The social media platform started going down for some people from 1 am UK time and issues have been lingering all day.

In a statement, Twitter Support said that tweets might not be loading for some people and that they were working on fixing the problem and that people would get back on the timeline shortly.

The issues were also affecting people in Mexico, South America, South Africa and the Philippines, and it follows a turbulent start to the year in which the company permanently barred then US president Donal Trump’s account and expanded its use of warning labels to target misleading posts about coronavirus vaccines.

And at least some poor unfortunate souls have been saved from the relentless bullying for a while at least.

Father Pulls Daughter Out Of Private $53,000-A-Year Brearley School

A father has pulled his daughter out of an expensive Upper East Side private school in outrage over the school’s extensive anti-racism policies that include training for parents, and which he said is teaching children to hate their own people.

Andrew Gutmann wrote a harsh letter against The Brearly School, an all-girls school in Manhattan where the fees are $53,000 a year, which he sent to more than 600 other parents.

It mapped out what he described as Brearley’s critical race theory, which he said was advocating that Blacks should forever be seen as helpless victims.

One of the examples he gave was the schools sophomoric and simplistic anti training sessions for parents and the fact that materials that have been taught for years are now suddenly deemed offensive in light of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement.

He didn’t say which books had been pulled but said it applied to his daughter’s fourth-grade class.

Andrew Gutmann ranted that the girls were being taught to hate their own country and that white scholars were being judged for the colour of their skin.

He further denied that there was systemic prejudice in the US, saying there hadn’t been since the 1960s, and he said that systemic racism, correctly understood, was segregated schools and separate lunch tables.

And that it was the interning of the Japanese and the slaughtering of Jews, and that systemic prejudice was unequivocally not a tiny amount of remote incidences over decades.

He also called out the school for claiming to care about diversity with its race stances while also prioritising legacy students, siblings of other scholars or families with, particularly deep pockets.

And he said that he couldn’t allow a school that not only judges his daughter by the colour of her skin but supports and instructs her to prejudge others by theirs.

He continued that by viewing every element of education, every aspect of history, and every facet of society through the lens of skin colour and race, that they were dishonouring the legacy of Dr Martin Luther King Jr, and completely infringing the movement for which such civil rights leaders believed, fought and died.

Andrew Gutmann, a 45-year-old investment banker, went on to say that the school was brainwashing the girls into a single mindset that was most reminiscent of the Chinese Cultural Revolution.

This is destructive with this race agenda and they should get back to learning math, the sciences and reading, and they should defund schools that work on Critical Race Theory.

We shouldn’t be hammering away non stop at skin tones, and where a school does this, they’re exercising fascism, and are too blinded by skin tone, and labelling people to see it – we should not be judged by the colour of our skin!

And if Andrew Gutmann disagrees with the ethics of what his daughter’s school is teaching about racism and elimination of specific books, then he’s certainly in his right to notify other parents who also have children at said school about his findings, and he’s also in his right to remove his daughter from the offending school.

Russia Arrests Ukrainian Diplomat In St Petersburg

Russia has detained a Ukrainian diplomat in St Petersburg for purportedly obtaining classified information from the main security agency, as tensions between the two countries develop.

The Federal Security Service (FSB) said Oleksandr Sosonyuk, Ukraine’s consul, was taken into custody during a meeting with a Russian in which he obtained information of a classified nature contained in the databases of law enforcement agencies and the FSB.

The claims come amid raised tensions between the two ex-Soviet nations with concerns the situation could worsen into conflict.

The security service said Oleksandr Sosonyuk was caught red-handed and added his activities were incompatible with his standing as a diplomat.

The FSB said in a statement that the foreign diplomat will be handled following the criteria of international law and that he has a clear antagonistic nature with Russia.

Oleksandr Sosonyuk headed the Ukrainian consulate in St Petersburg, Russia’s second city.

It comes as Russia has massed around 100,000 troops on its borders with Ukraine in recent days, which springs fears of a full-scale invasion, but Moscow denies inflaming the tense stalemate on the frontier.

Ukraine has demanded NATO membership as a protection against its neighbour, threatening to return to building a nuclear arsenal if it’s refused.

Earlier this week the head of US forces in Europe, General Tod Wolters, said there’s a low to medium chance of a Russian attack on Ukraine in the next few weeks.

He was giving evidence to the Senate Armed Services Committee in Washington when he was asked about the risk of invasion in that timeframe.

The general insisted the odds were low to medium, adding that it would depend on many factors, but based on the prevailing trajectory and disposition of Russian forces, that possibility would start to fade.

Kiev earlier blamed Moscow for openly intimidating Ukraine with destruction by placing 80,000 men along its eastern border, with thousands more arriving by the day, as it called on western allies to intervene.

Dmytro Kuleba, the country’s foreign minister, warned of extremely unpleasant consequences if Vladimir Putin attacks. And he said that words were not enough and allies would need to give practical support.

He spoke following a meeting with the foreign ministers of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, NATO allies in the region, saying that the four of them condemn the exacerbation of the situation by Russia.

Dawn Breaks Over Windsor On The Day Of Prince Philip’s Funeral

A golden radiance fell over the grounds of Windsor Castle this morning as sunrise broke on the day HRH Prince Philip will be laid to rest.

The eyes of the world will be on the royal residence now as the Queen says her last goodbye to the Duke of Edinburgh, her husband of 73 years.

In pre-pandemic times thousands of mourners would have gone to the Berkshire town to pay their respects, but the Royal Family, the Government and police are urging people to stay away.

Early this morning members of the armed forces, police, security and the media were taking up their posts around the castle ahead of this afternoon’s ceremony.

While much of the usual pageantry has been stripped back, Buckingham Palace says the funeral will still reflect Philip’s life of service and the plans he spent years fine-tuning.

Right down to the bespoke Land Rover hearse to carry his coffin, the event, code-named Operation Forth Bridge, will be done with military precision, leading up to the 3 pm service at St George’s Chapel.

The first glimpses inside the chapel reveal the Duke’s insignia, Field Marshal’s baton, RAF wings and decorations from Denmark and Greece resting on cushions at the altar.

The Queen, 94, will say a private farewell to her husband, who she once called her strength and stay, before his body is transported to the chapel tailed by a meagre procession including Philip’s four children and three grandsons.

Sources say she’s been the epitome of dignity this week, and the Archbishop of Canterbury paid tribute to her remarkable dignity and strength.

Justin Welby, who will praise Philip’s life of service to the nation and Commonwealth at the service, added that he hoped the nation prays for her and hopes for her to find strength in what must be an anguished moment.

The Dean of Windsor, in the Bidding, will commemorate his unfaltering loyalty to our Queen, and his service to the nation and the Commonwealth, by his courage, fortitude and faith.

It was a crisp Spring day at Windsor this morning, with sunshine forecast for most of the day, and signs have been erected about the town asking members of the public to stay away from Windsor and other royal residences.

Police patrols have been stepped up to enforce COVID rules, which ban large gatherings. Marshals have also been drafted in to assist and were observed trooping through the town in high vis jackets.

Peloton Challenges Federal Safety Recall

Peloton fights federal safety recall of all their $4K treadmills after one child died and other customers were injured in accidents last month.

Federal regulators told a news outlet that the Consumer Products Safety Commission had issued an administrative subpoena ordering Peloton to identify the child with family contact information within 24 hours so the agency could continue investigating.

Jessica Kleiman, a spokesperson for Peloton, said that the company didn’t provide personal information about the child to the agency because it respects its customer’s privacy.

The child’s family asked them not to give the information to the CPSC, Jessica Kleiman said. However, officials maintained that the company complied.

Peloton, which is worth $34 billion, has been consulting with regulators on the wording and timing of an alert to customers concerning the possible dangers posed by the $4,300 Peloton Tread+, officials told a news outlet.

The safety warning from the agency concerning the expensive treadmill is expected to come as early as Saturday.

An official familiar with the case told the outlet that this didn’t occur with other treadmills, but the official said regulators were worried that the Peloton treadmill seemingly had a different hazard pattern than was typically seen.

A news outlet reported that regulators were alarmed that people purportedly had injuries including broken bones and head trauma after they were pulled under the exercise machine.

A news outlet has reached out to Peloton for more information and further comment, but Peloton didn’t think a recall was needed.

The company said its treadmills were safe for use when the warnings and safety guidance they provide were followed.

Kleiman further noted that the company had issued repeated safety warnings to its customers since reports of incidents concerning the treadmills, and Kleiman said in a statement that Peloton is still endeavouring to jointly work with CPSC to urge its customers to follow all warnings and safety guidance.

Peloton CEO John Foley announced that the company was raising safety concerns regarding its treadmill in an email to consumers last month, and John Foley wrote that while they were aware of only a small handful of incidents involving the Tread+ where children had been injured. Each one was devastating to all of them at Peloton, and that their hearts go out to the families affected.

John Foley, who is also a co-founder of Peloton, went on to share the company’s standard safety warnings, amongst them keeping children and pets away from exercise machines at all times and removing the safety key from the treadmill at the end of a workout.

And what was a child doing near this machine unattended anyhow? After all, a parent wouldn’t allow a child into a workshop with machines, would they? Because it’s dangerous!

A treadmill isn’t a toy! It’s perfectly safe when safety guidance is followed correctly, and it’s a product for adults who can read and follow the safety guidelines, therefore, children should not be allowed near it.

You shouldn’t have small children or pets around when using exercise machinery, as children are curious and these devices should be switched off or the safety clip removed so that it can’t power on without an adult present.

Fred And Rose West’s Son, 40, Who Saw Serial Killer Parents Beat His Sister To Death When He Was Only Seven Died Of An Overdose

An inquest learned that the son of Fred and Rose West died of a painkiller overdose after telling a doctor his life wasn’t worth living.

Barry West was only seven years old when he watched his parents beat his sister Heather to death at their Cromwell Street home in Gloucester.

He died at the age of 40 on August 28 last year after being discovered slumped over a table at his supported living accommodation in Maidstone, Kent.

An inquest into his death this week learned how Barry West, who was too frightened to give testimony at his mother’s 1995 trial, had a complicated medical history.

It was told he tried to commit suicide in 2015, and that he had taken numerous overdoses, besides suffering from PTSD, anxiety, depression and chronic pain.

Barry West also fought with dissociative identity disorder, in which people may feel the presence of other identities with their own names, voices and mannerisms.

Coroner Patricia Harding, sitting at Maidstone Coroner’s Court, learned how Barry West felt abandoned by the NHS and died after injecting himself with pain-relieving medication.

Fred West killed himself in jail in 1995 while awaiting trial on twelve murder charges. His wife, 67, was jailed to life in prison without parole for ten murders.

The couple killed West’s stepdaughter Charmaine, as well as Heather.

The inquest heard how Barry West, who changed his name to Michael Moore, had an addiction to opioids, as well as a history of heroin abuse dating back nearly twenty years.

The hearing was told how he was living in supported accommodation in Maidstone after being discharged from St Martin’s mental health hospital in Canterbury on August 3.

Giving evidence at the inquest, Nicholas Esson, a mental health manager at Kent County Council, said Barry West was having trouble coping with pain and believed he had no quality of life.

He said that when he met with a social worker on August 26, just two days before he died, he said he felt abandoned by mental health services.

Nicholas Esson said that in the wake of Barry West’s death an internal investigation had been started into how better to help people during the COVID 19 pandemic.

The inquest learned how Barry West had argued with his doctor about the most suitable medicines to manage his chronic shoulder and back pain, with the serial killer’s son saying he wanted to be put on opioid medication, which he said made him happier and the most pain-free.

But the poor man never actually stood a chance, and he just became the invisible victim, and no one can perceive the pain and suffering this poor man endured.

Sadly he was born to monstrous parents, and he saw too much at a young age. Although you could hardly call them parents by any stretch of the imagination.

Anger Over No 10’s Un-British Proposals To Spank Calorie Counts On Beer, Wine And Spirits

Number 10 plans to spank calorie counts on all alcohol served in pubs was today branded un-British and an attempt to nanny the nation.

Documents leaked last night revealed health chiefs want to force larger chains to reveal the number of calories for every beer, wine and spirit ordered in their bars.

The scheme, drawn up by Matt Hancock’s Health Department, could see calories displayed on pump labels and menus at franchises such as Greene King and Fullers.

Critics characterised the proposals as madness and disruptive for pub chains that are already fighting to claw back losses from the pandemic.

The Adam Smith think tank told a news outlet that everyone already knows if you put away a few jars a day you’re likely to get fatter and that the cost is going to fall on businesses who will now need to redo their labelling.

And it seems that the Department of Health has spent the whole time, during COVID on a campaign against food and drink when it should be concentrating on the pandemic, which it’s done a poor job of responding to.

Matt Lambert, CEO of the Portman Group alcohol regulator, told a news outlet that the labelling changes would put a further financial strain on an industry that has been put under relentless pressure by the COVID pandemic.

As part of the proposals, leaked to a news outlet, all alcohol sold in stores could also be legally obliged to publish the same nutritional information.

Health chiefs have proposed including an alcohol warning on every bottle from the chief medical officer Chris Whitty, who has gained a cult following during the pandemic.

As well as details of how fattening the alcohol can be, the plans would additionally see labels include information on the risks of drink driving.

A pint of Guinness contains 210 calories, approximately the same as a KitKat Chunky. A large glass of white wine is slightly more calorific (240), the same as a pack of Starburst sweets.

Matt Lambert, CEO of the Portman Group said that the alcohol industry is committed to giving consumers detailed information to help them make well-informed decisions about drinking and that they welcome the consultation and its aims.

And this will ultimately be dictated by a digital ID on your smartphone and a cashless culture – had too many calories – transaction declined! The Government says no! And bad citizens will be controlled and restricted!

This is a huge problem because the Government will be able to see precisely what we’re consuming through smartphone apps and payment methods – twenty units of alcohol this week – no train tickets or cinema for you! And don’t forget your junk food shops, Pizza, McDonald’s et cetera.

“I’ll have a bottle of Malbec – no hang on, there’s five calories less in the Shiraz”. Sounds absurd, that because it is – a waste of time, effort and money.

Fauci Warns Women Who Received The Johnson & Johnson Vaccine In The Last 13 Days To Be Alert To Symptoms

Dr Anthony Fauci has advised women who’ve had the Johnson & Johnson vaccine to be alert for symptoms of an adverse reaction, as US agencies warn against the vaccine’s usage until more investigation can be done.

On Tuesday the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommended a pause in the use of the Johnson & Johnson jab.

Their recommendation was made after six people, out of the 6.8 million to receive the jab so far, reported blood clots. All were women aged 18-48.

Johnson & Johnson announced that they were further hampering the rollout of their vaccine in Europe, and halting clinical trials.

Fauci appeared on CBS News on Tuesday night and said that people who’d received the Johnson & Johnson jab in the last 13 days should be alert to warning signs, and he said that if anyone had it a month or two ago, then they didn’t need to worry about anything.

He said that if they were in the time frame of inside a week or two of having been vaccinated, that they should remember one thing – that it was a pretty isolated event, and it was less than one in a million, but he said that having said that, people still needed to be alert to some symptoms, such as severe headaches, some difficulty in movement, or some chest pain and trouble breathing.

Asked by Norah O’Donnell whether women should be especially aware, he said yes, adding that they were now examining whether the reaction was hormonal, and he said that there have been similar types of happenings that have transpired during pregnancy, and those clotting abnormalities are known in women who take birth control pills, so certainly there could be a hormonal aspect to it.

Scientists will be looking at whether birth control pills could have played a part in causing blood clots in the women who got the Johnson & Johnson vaccine and fell ill.

One patient, a 45-year-old woman in Virginia, died following her Johnson & Johnson vaccine in March, and authorities announced on Tuesday that the CDC was investigating the woman’s death.

The CDC’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) system notes that the woman who died started having headaches six days following vaccination and was then hospitalised once the headache worsened and she had begun dry heaving.

A head CT scan showed haemorrhaging, extending up to 1.6 centimetres and finally, cortical vein thrombosis, as recorded in the six other cases. She died on March 18, 12 days after getting a vaccine dose administered by a school.

Fauci needs to ideally warn all women who are being prescribed and currently taking any kind of Contraceptive medication, and anyone who gets the vaccine has to understand that this is one big clinical trial that they’re volunteering into, and one that has no recourse against the developer if things go awry, and sadly this is what occurs when things are rushed and the public are being used for beta testing.

End Of An Iconic Eyesore

An iconic south London shopping centre built in 1965 on a bomb-damaged 1890s estate is being ripped down to pave the way for a £1 billion town-centre regeneration.

It was originally believed that the three-storey Elephant & Castle Shopping Centre in Southwark would become a commercial hub for south London, with its 115 shops taken on mostly by local traders.

But, as the capital expanded and swanky indoor shopping malls sprung up citywide, the 55-year-old shopping arcade quickly became redundant, before later falling into disrepair.

Now, Keltbray, a specialist construction and engineering company, is set to demolish the 2.5-acre site and replace it with a £1 billion development, including approximately 1,000 new flats – 116 of which are social rental homes, a new tube station for the Northern Line, and two new university buildings.

One of the sites best-known features an elephant with a castle on its back, was taken away to be restored but is set to be put back once construction begins.

When the construction is finished, the sculpture will take pride and place in the new town centre, along with old signage and artefacts from the shopping centre.

Campaigners have blasted the lack of affordable homes, inexpensive retail space and council housing in the new plans.

In November, a judge granted permission to appeal Southwark Council’s decision to grant Keltbray planning permission to tear it down.

Images taken at the site show walls pulled down as the demolition begins, with the area blocked off to the public.

The shopping centre was opened in 1965. The building was built on the sight of the Elephant and Castle Estate, built in 1898, which was later damaged by bombs in the Second World War.

The £21 million shopping centre was designed to bring Londoners away from the busy roundabout below to carry out their shopping.

Ray Gunter, then minister of Labour, unveiled the iconic statue of an elephant carrying a castle on its back which was taken from a since demolished pub.

The new plans, which were granted planning approval in 2019, strive to keep noise and disruption to a minimum throughout construction.

The demolition process is estimated to finish in the summer of 2021, with construction commencing the same year.

The new Northern line station to be constructed on the demolished zone is future-proofed for the Bakerloo line extension with significantly enhanced capabilities.

Two new structures, one for the University of the Arts London and another for London College of Communication, will also be built, and Keltbray said the project will bring substantial employment to the region.

But is this going to be the amazing place they say it is, or is it going to be in five years a total mess hidden in graffiti? Because sometimes nothing changes, whatever it costs because usually, it’s the people that make the area and not the buildings, and it will probably end up being a bleak, grey, soulless, miserable wind tunnel with no eco-credentials, like they all are.

Over 10 per cent of the flats are being earmarked for social housing, and I’m sure it will be marvellous for those turning up on boats to get housed in a brand new development in the heart of one of the most costly cities in the world, and all for free.

And it’s no surprise that some people don’t want to work or do anything in this country. The others, however, just carry on laying down in front of the steamroller one by one.

But it’s about twenty minutes walk from the city, and of course, they will sell, but they will have to live alongside boat people.
