A DNA Test Does Not Match Peter Sullivan, The ‘Wolfman’ Murderer

A convicted murderer known as ‘The Wolfman’ who has served nearly 40 years in prison after a bride-to-be was beaten to death could get a retrial after his conviction was referred to the Court of Appeal.

Diane Sindall, 21, was killed with a crowbar after she ran out of petrol when she left her part-time job as a barmaid in Bebington, Merseyside in August 1986. 

The next year, during one of the largest manhunts in the region’s history, Peter Sullivan was found guilty of her murder.

Although the authorities never disclosed the florist’s horrifying injuries, Sullivan was convicted based on bite marks on her corpse that matched his dental records, earning him a monstrous reputation.

According to the Liverpool Echo, the jobless father of one had spent the day drinking excessively after losing a game of darts at the Crown Hotel. He then happened to run across Ms Sindall as she was walking to a gas station after her blue Fiat van ran out of petrol.

The Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) said on Wednesday that the Court of Appeal had been tasked with reviewing Sullivan’s conviction due to DNA evidence.

In a statement, the CCRC told The Mirror: ‘Mr Sullivan applied to the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) in March 2021 raising concerns about his interviews by the police, bitemark evidence presented in his trial, and what was said to be the murder weapon. 

‘After consulting experts, the CCRC obtained DNA information from samples taken at the time of the offence. 

‘As a result, a DNA profile was obtained which did not match Mr Sullivan. The CCRC has now sent Mr Sullivan’s conviction back to the courts.’ 

According to the inquiry, a DNA profile that did not match Sullivan was discovered when samples collected at the scene of the crime were re-examined.

In 2021, Sullivan requested that his case be re-examined, citing issues with the murder weapon, bite mark evidence, and police interviews.

He claimed he had not been provided with an appropriate adult during interviews.

The CCRC added that there was evidence suggesting there were breaches in the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 over police interviews, as he was not given an appropriate adult and was initially denied legal representation.

Although forensic specialists stated that additional testing was unlikely to provide a DNA profile, Sullivan had previously applied to the CCRC in 2008, raising concerns regarding DNA evidence.

He requested permission from the High Court to appeal his 2019 conviction due to bite mark evidence, but the Court of Appeal denied his request in 2021.

At the time of his trial, a scientist specialising in teeth told the jury that his teeth marks were as unique as a fingerprint.

In September 1987, the Liverpool Echo reported Prosecutor Mr Andrew Rankin QC said: ‘The defendant caused those bite marks -he murdered Diane Sindall beyond argument. That is how important the evidence of bite marks is.

‘This is the critical part of the case – so critical that, in my submission, you can forget the rest of the case.’

He told Liverpool Crown Court that Sullivan had teeth which matched all the features found on Ms Sindall’s right breast.

Sullivan had a history of petty convictions and confessed, before retracting his plea. He was convicted in November 1987.

He said he didn’t have an appropriate adult at the interview, and bite marks are not conclusive evidence on their own, but DNA is, and the question is, if it doesn’t match why wasn’t he released?

If he is now saying he did not have an appropriate adult, was he mentally disabled in some way? And why was he not appointed a solicitor before they interviewed him?

The thing is when an expert comes in and says something, another expert normally comes along to say they are wrong. This type of evidence is based on an expert opinion rather than science, which is rather unreliable in court.

In 1986-7 there was DNA testing. In 1986 DNA evidence was first used in the criminal case of Lynda Mann and Dawn Ashworth, and then in 1987 DNA profiling was used to convict Colin Pitchfork for the murders of Lynda Mann and Dawn Ashworth – why was it not used in the case of Peter Sullivan?

If there is the slightest doubt the conviction should be revisited, especially given it was at a time when rules were frequently bent, and the authorities often stitched up innocent people because they were lazy, incompetent and bad at their job. Or both!

The source of this DNA sample is left unstated.

Bite marks are very rarely uniform or neat and overall they’re an inconsistent way to measure or collect evidence. However, DNA never lies.

The Cadaver King and the Country Dentist, a fantastic book by Radley Balko, explores the history of bite mark analysis and offers an engrossing and terrifying look at the science of bite marks and several other forensics that aren’t as accurate as frequently claimed.

Bite mark evidence is largely considered weak these days. In studies involving blind testing, experts often couldn’t even establish correctly if the bite was human or animal in nature.

The British legal system is comparable to a cartel. Until it is redesigned, it will continue to condemn innocent individuals, and some police don’t care who they convict as long as they get to convict someone, with lots of back-slapping because they got a good result.

Ah, the good old British justice system at its finest. Just like the Birmingham six and the Guildford four. A rush to find anybody responsible for atrocities to appease the media and calm the public.

If he is guilty then he’s in the right place, but if it’s proven that he’s innocent, then 40 years behind bars is unforgivable.

Bullying Shouldn’t Be Called Bullying

Teachers have been told not to use the word ‘bullies’ to avoid upsetting them – and ordered to call in police when pupils are suspected of hate crime.

The latest guidance from the SNP government aimed at cracking down on bullying highlights the importance of tackling prejudice – including misgendering –and ‘microaggressions’.

This phrase refers to a deliberate or inadvertent casual insult based on gender, colour, culture, or beliefs; for instance, believing someone is foreign-born based on their name or race.

Staff have been instructed not to label children as ‘bullies’ or ‘victims’ – as it can be ‘disempowering’ – and pupil exclusion does not feature in the 57-page document.

Education Secretary Jenny Gilruth was told to ‘get a grip by ditching the wokery and protecting the victims of bullying’.

Scottish Tory children and young people spokesman Roz McCall said: ‘This guidance might be full of warm words but it also fails to address the serious issues that our teachers are having to deal with every single day. 

‘That is typical of the SNP who have dithered and delayed as violence has soared in Scotland’s schools.

‘It has consequences if we are asking teachers to record incidents based on ideology, rather than allowing them to show some common sense and get on with teaching.’

Separate Scottish Government research published last year found violence, aggression and disruptive behaviour in schools have risen sharply. But the guidelines state: ‘Labelling children and young people as ‘bullies’ or ‘victims’ can be disempowering and is unhelpful in supporting them to change their behaviour, or in scaffolding their recovery from a bullying experience.’

Terms such as ‘child displaying bullying behaviour’ and ‘child experiencing bullying behaviour’ are preferred.

However, the guidance states that the ‘nature of some behaviours may constitute criminal offences, and advice should be sought from Police Scotland where there are significant concerns’. 

The report also emphasises how crucial it is to document all instances and keep an eye out for bias as a component of bullying, which may potentially violate the Hate Crime Act.

Bullying of youngsters who identify as trans can be manifested in many different ways, it says, including ‘deliberately misgendering’.

The guidelines also state that it is ‘crucial to help [bullies] recognise the harm their behaviour causes, repair relationships when possible and desired, and challenge prejudicial attitudes through education and building empathy’.

Chris McGovern, of the Campaign for Real Education, said: ‘This woke guidance is totally inadequate.

‘The soft and ‘inclusive’ approach it promotes is more likely to encourage bullies than to deter them.

‘It places children in danger and undermines the authority of hard-pressed teachers facing daily thuggery in the classroom.

‘Bullying, including online bullying, should be treated as crossing a red line that results in exclusion and, for a second offence, expulsion.’

Ms Gilruth said: ‘I am committed to creating safe, inclusive, and supportive environments where children and young people can thrive.’

So, what it boils down to is that now a school’s reaction to ‘bullying’ is a series of ‘isolated incidents’ of one pupil against another. If you were to ask them what the definition of ‘bullying’ is, they would probably say that it was ‘repetitive incidents’, over a period of time, of one pupil against another.

The logic? By closing each incident, and calling it isolated, it doesn’t fall into their definition of bullying, therefore they don’t have any incident of bullying in their Ofsted report.

What will it be next? ‘Sorry Johnny. I can’t tell him to stop kicking you, because it might upset him, and he’s just expressing himself.’ The very reason we have so many problems is the lack of discipline and too much wokery.

Education in schools is at an all-time low, and since schools should be a safe environment for all kids, bullying in all its manifestations has to be strongly addressed at a young age.

The government must take action to protect our children from bullies because their heinous behaviour makes the lives of many of our children completely miserable and can have heartbreaking consequences. The problem is getting worse due to a lack of discipline in both the home and the schools.

April Council Tax Hike: How Much?

Following Keir Starmer’s announcement that the cap will be 5 percent, families are preparing for further shocking increases in council taxes next year.

After Downing Street confirmed the ceiling, local governments would have the authority to raise prices by almost three times the existing inflation rate.

The average Band D property in England might rise by £110 due to that. It will be greater in financial terms in certain places, though.

The news is devastating for British citizens who have already been hit hard by the budget’s large tax raid and are already dealing with the cost of living issue.

A government source said the 5 percent cap would not necessarily translate into a similar tax rise, as it would be ‘up to individual councils’ to decide what to charge. 

However, the majority are anticipated to raise bills by the greatest amount.

Government statistics show the average band D council tax set by local authorities in England for 2024/25 was £2,171, which represented an increase of £106 or 5.1 percent on the previous year.

The main inflation figure fell to 1.7 percent in September, although it is expected to rise again towards the end of this year as energy costs go up over the winter.

Tory leader Kemi Badenoch warned at PMQs that the national insurance hike in the budget would drive up costs for town halls in areas such as care services.

The party claimed there is a £2.4 billion black hole in the finances for local government that would need to be filled with higher taxes. 

The party has calculated that would amount to a 6.6 percent rise across the board, roughly £143 extra on a Band D property.

Instead of approving yet another round of bill increases, Taxpayers’ Alliance member Darwin Friend asked politicians to reduce council waste.

‘Taxpayers will be bracing for another penny-pinching year ahead,’ he said.

‘Councils across the UK have either increased council tax or threatened to increase it. While the cap has not been scrapped, the increase of 5 percent will still hit hard-pressed households.

‘The Government needs to crack down on councils to ensure that they are keeping costs to a minimum and delivering front-line services at the best possible value for residents.’

Labour voiced a scathing complaint in opposition over the impact of growing council tax bills on living expenses.

Ms Reeves stated before the local elections last year that she would freeze council tax prices using £2.7 billion from a new windfall tax on the oil and gas sector.

At the time, she said: ‘While the Tories think the cost-of-living crisis is all over, Labour is on the side of working people.’

We may not worry too much if councils were cost-effective, but the majority of councils are trapped in a bygone era and continue to make the same expensive mistakes year after year.

Has there ever been a tax that is less cost-effective than council tax? In addition to inflation-busting wage increases, most people spend hundreds of pounds a year to have their garbage removed, while work-shy pen pushers enjoy golden pensions and golden pay cheques.

Of course, our taxes supposedly go on other things, i.e., social care, but do we really know where our money is going and what it’s actually being used for, like war and genocide?

I’m guessing it goes to Starmer and his friends and into hotels in your area. After all, that’s what the true meaning of ‘social care’ means these days.

Labour! The gift that keeps on giving.

This is a big problem for all of us, and there’s no opt-out charge unless, of course, we go homeless. We can complain about it till we are blue in the face, but it won’t make any difference unless, of course, everybody in the country stops paying it. What’s the worst they can do, put us all in prison? Oh yes, I forgot, not enough room at the inn!

Ukraine Builds Nuclear Bomb If Trump Pulls US Military Aid

Ukraine could develop a rudimentary nuclear bomb within months if Donald Trump pulls US military aid, a briefing paper prepared for the country’s Ministry of Defence has revealed. 

The weapon would be built from plutonium and use similar technology to the nuclear bomb dropped on Nagasaki in 1945, the report stated. 

Even though Ukraine gave up its nuclear armament in 1996, it still maintains control of nine working reactors and possesses substantial nuclear construction experience.

It comes after Trump reportedly backed the shock ultimatum President Volodymyr Zelensky gave NATO last month when he seemed to demand either Ukraine be granted membership of the bloc or they would become a nuclear power.

Kyiv has now denied that they are thinking of developing a nuclear weapon, and Zelensky later explained that he had meant that there was no alternative security assurance.

According to The Times, the briefing paper prepared for the Ministry of Defence reads: ‘Creating a simple atomic bomb, as the United States did within the framework of the Manhattan Project, would not be a difficult task 80 years later.’

‘The weight of reactor plutonium available to Ukraine can be estimated at seven tonnes… A significant nuclear weapons arsenal would require much less material,’ it continued.

The authors of the study concluded that the bomb would be large enough to destroy concentrated military or industrial objectives or an entire Russian airbase.

It comes as president-elect Trump has famously pledged to end the Russia-Ukraine war within a day of becoming president and has boasted of his ‘very good relationship’ with President Putin. 

He has also questioned Biden’s degree of support for Ukraine, despite President Zelensky’s staunch opposition to ceding land to Russia and said that the invasion would never have occurred if he had been in the White House.

It comes after Zelensky last month reportedly told NATO to let his country join the group or it would get nuclear weapons in a shock ultimatum that was allegedly backed by Trump. 

The leader, 46, declared his bombshell proposal at the EU summit in Brussels, stating either NATO quickly accepts Ukraine into its alliance or it will once again become a nuclear power, the German newspaper Bild reported. 

Zelensky had reportedly planned to present what is being dubbed his ‘victory plan’ to the heads of state and government of the European Union but instead made the dramatic announcement to stunned reporters. 

Given his willingness to comply with Putin’s orders, it appears that Trump’s peace strategy calls for Ukraine to cede a portion of its territory to Russia, but the fact that Zelensky is willing to use nuclear weapons tells the world that he needs to be removed.

In reality, Putin and Zelensky both need to be removed because Putin threatens nuclear war every week and we know he has them.

Putin and Zelensky have both gone from being nastily mad to being officially insane, and they are both on cloud cuckoo.

These individuals are insane, and we shouldn’t be going around the world starting wars and if they think they’re going to run away from this one without any blowback, they can think again.

‘Warrior Board’ Of Retired Senior Officials

According to reports, Donald Trump intends to appoint retired former military veterans to a “warrior board” to screen out “woke generals” who are seen to be unsuited for leadership roles.

The president-elect’s transition team is said to be considering a draft executive order with the power to review three and four-star officers they find ‘lacking in requisite leadership qualities’, according to the draft seen by the Wall Street Journal.

Donald Trump pledged throughout his reelection campaign to rid the military of so-called “woke” generals, even suggesting that former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman and critic Mark Milley may be put to death for treason.

According to current and former U.S. officials, Trump would emphasise loyalty during his second term and remove career civil workers and military personnel whom he believes to be disloyal.

Beginning in January, Trump, as commander-in-chief, will have the authority to dismiss any officer. However, an outside board would enable him to circumvent the Pentagon’s customary promotion process, implying an impending purge, according to the WSJ.

The draft order reportedly says it will aim to set up a review focusing on ‘leadership capability, strategic readiness, and commitment to military excellence’.

The requirements for fulfilling these standards are not explicitly stated.

According to the WSJ, an unidentified external policy organisation assisting the transition team in getting Trump ready for office helped create the directive.

Karoline Leavitt, spokesperson for the transition team, did not address the order directly but told the outlet: ‘The American people re-elected President Trump by a resounding margin, giving him a mandate to implement the promises he made on the campaign trail. He will deliver.’

Such an order would give the so-called ‘warrior board’ power to sack top officials for failing standards, although it is expected Trump will be keen to target those responsible for the 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan, as well as those he deems ‘woke’.

Running for office, he was asked by Fox News in June whether he would fire generals described as ‘woke’.

‘I would fire them. You can’t have (a) woke military,’ Trump said.

According to some insiders, the team may target Air Force General C.Q. Brown, the current chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and a well-liked former fighter pilot and military leader who avoids politics.

The Black four-star general has been an advocate for diversity in the U.S. military and released a video message on prejudice in the ranks in the days following the May 2020 murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis by a police officer.

Asked for comment, Brown’s spokesperson, Navy Captain Jereal Dorsey, told Reuters: ‘The chairman along with all of the service members in our armed forces remain focused on the security and defence of our nation and will continue to do so, ensuring a smooth transition to the new administration of President-elect Trump.’ 

Retired army general Mark Milley, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has also severed ties with the president-elect, having called him ‘fascist to the core’ in the run-up to the election.

Milley stepped down in September 2023 after more than 40 years in the military and raised concerns about Trump in his retirement speech.

In 2023, he sensationally told the Washington Post that Trump was ‘the most dangerous person to this country’, deeming him ‘a total fascist’.

‘If the people in your own government aren’t obeying you, you have got to get rid of them and replace them with people who are responsive to what the president’s trying to do,’ Vance said in an interview with Tucker Carlson before the election.

Trump promised throughout the campaign to reverse a decision made following Floyd’s murder and return the name of a Confederate commander to a significant U.S. military installation.

Transgender troops were the target of Trump’s most vehement anti-woke rhetoric throughout the campaign.

Trump has previously banned transgender service members and posted a campaign ad that opens a new tab on X portraying them as weak, with the vow that ‘we will not have woke military!’

Fox News and army veteran Pete Hegseth was nominated by Trump to be his defence secretary starting next year.

Before joining Fox News, the 44-year-old, who received two Bronze Stars for deployment to Iraq and Afghanistan, campaigned unsuccessfully for the Senate in Minnesota in 2012.

He is also the author of ‘The War on Warriors: Behind the Betrayal of the Men Who Keep Us Free.’

The book, according to its promo, combines ‘his own war experiences, tales of outrage, and an incisive look at how the chain of command got so kinked,’ and bills itself as ‘the key to saving our warriors – and winning future wars.’ 

As Trump continues his divisive tactics, Kori Schake of the conservative American Enterprise Institute cautioned that high-level dismissals may occur during a second administration.

‘I think there will be an enormous chaos premium in a second Trump term, both because of the policies he will attempt to enact and the people he will put in place to enact them in terms of appointments,’ she said.

Such worries were dismissed by one U.S. military officer, who stated on condition of anonymity that causing disarray in the chain of command of the U.S. military would result in political reaction and be superfluous for Trump to achieve his objectives.

‘What these guys will find out is that military officers are generally focused on warfighting and not politics,’ the military official said. I feel they’ll be satisfied of that—or at least they should be.’

From using the National Guard and maybe active-duty troops to assist in the mass deportation of illegal immigrants to even using them to quell domestic unrest, Trump has indicated that the U.S. military might be a key component of many of his policy initiatives.

To be fair, we could use some of this in the UK to regain our nation and military but to be honest, people did keep voting Tory, and it was under them that all this ‘woke’ stuff started.

Wokeness must be acknowledged as a disgraceful aspect of our history, when we permitted minorities to pressure the majority to tolerate their actions, regardless of how offensive they were to us, and now it’s not even a matter of ‘majority’ vs ‘minority’ because those numbers can change or flip, given the situation. It’s just a matter of it being so wrong.

Keir Starmer, look, read, listen, and learn, and stop fannying around.

Perhaps Trump’s return to ascendancy will prove contagious in many other countries, including the UK, but Starmer is too woke to entertain this because he knows if he appointed ex-military, one of the first people to go would be Starmer himself.

The 90-Year-Old Timothy West Has Passed Away

At the age of 90, legendary actor Timothy West passed away after a dazzling six-decade career on stage and television.

Mr West, who starred in shows Brass, Edward the Seventh, EastEnders, and Great Canal Journeys with his Fawlty Towers star wife Prunella Scales, passed away peacefully, surrounded by family and friends.

His children Juliet, Samuel, and Joseph West announced the tragic news with a shared statement on social media, saying he died peacefully in his sleep ‘with his friends and family at the end’.

Before Prunella’s role as John Cleese’s on-screen wife Sybil Fawlty in the renowned British comedy series, Timothy married her in 1963. In 2014, the actress received a diagnosis of vascular dementia.

In a 2023 interview with The Daily Mail, Timothy talked of his grief at watching his wife, whom he had looked after over their six-decade marriage, deteriorate due to a health issue.

Prunella and Timothy previously starred together in their own Channel 4 TV show, Great Canal Journeys, between 2014 and 2021, but were forced to quit due to her ailing health.

Joseph and Samuel West, a 58-year-old actor who presently stars in All Creatures Great and Small, are the couple’s two sons together. In addition, West had a daughter named Juliet from his 1956–1961 marriage to actor Jacqueline Boyer.

The statement announcing Mr West’s death read: ‘After a long and extraordinary life on and off the stage, our darling father Timothy West died peacefully in his sleep yesterday evening. He was 90 years old.

‘Tim was with friends and family at the end. He leaves his wife, Prunella Scales, to whom he was married for 61 years, a sister, a daughter, two sons, seven grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. All of us will miss him terribly.

‘We would like to thank the incredible NHS staff at St George’s Hospital, Tooting and at Avery Wandsworth for their loving care during his last days.’

Prunella had symptoms of vascular dementia for a long time before receiving an official diagnosis in 2014.

During a 2003 staging of Oscar Wilde’s A Woman of No Importance at the Theatre Royal Haymarket in London’s West End, the actress repeatedly fumbled her lines, as West disclosed in his book.

In an interview with the BBC last year, West said he recalled every word of that life-changing moment when the doctor finally diagnosed her condition: ‘We went to see a specialist who said, ‘Sorry, this is just something which happens to you when you are older and it’s not going to get any easier, but you can cope with it. Don’t let it get you down.”

Mr. West featured in television series including Coronation Street, EastEnders, the sitcom Not Going Out, and the comedy-drama Brass.

He portrayed brutal, self-made industrialist Bradley Hardacre in Brass from 1982 to 1984 before making a comeback for a third series in 1990. In Not Going Out, he portrayed Lucy Adams’s father, Geoffrey, who was portrayed by Sally Bretton.

He portrayed Eric Babbage in seven episodes of Coronation Street in 2013, then from 2014 to 2015, he played Stan Carter in EastEnders.

During his career, West also played former British prime minister Winston Churchill three times, in From Churchill and the Generals (1979), The Last Bastion (1984), and Hiroshima (1995).

In 2019, the Bradford-born actor played Private Godfrey in Dad’s Army: The Lost Episodes, a recreation of three missing episodes of the BBC comedy Dad’s Army.

His film roles included Commissioner Berthier in The Day Of The Jackal (1973), King Francis in From Ever After: A Cinderella Story (1998), and Nazi physician and war criminal Karl Gebhardt in Hitler: The Last Ten Days (1973).

On stage, he was a regular performer of Shakespeare, playing Lear in 2016 and 2002.

He performed at the Piccadilly Theatre with the Royal Shakespeare Company, the National Theatre, and the West End, portraying many classic roles, including Shylock, Falstaff, and Macbeth.

In 1984, West was appointed CBE for his services to drama in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List.

Before acting, West had attended the John Lyon School and Bristol Grammar School and worked as an office furniture salesman and a recording technician before becoming an assistant stage manager at Wimbledon Theatre in 1956.

Emotional messages have poured in following his death. Paying tribute to West on Times Radio, broadcaster Dame Joanna Lumley, who campaigned alongside him to destigmatise dementia, said he would be a ‘huge loss to everybody’.

She said: ‘Timothy really will be a huge loss, obviously, to Pru, but I think a huge loss to everybody who came to love and respect them, not just the general public, but particularly those who live with dementia.’

Dame Joanna continued: ‘I think between them, Timothy and Pru did an amazing, amazing job of convincing people that dementia was not something that you should be always afraid of, but something that you could embrace and live with and live with well.’

TalkTV presenter Piers Morgan, 59, paid tribute to the ‘wonderful’ man, alongside a photo with Timothy from when he appeared on My Life Stories.

He wrote, ‘A wonderful actor and delightful man. My Life Stories interview with him, as the love of his life Prunella Scales sat in the audience, was so moving. 

‘They were married 61 years, and his devotion to her after she developed Alzheimer’s was profoundly touching.’

Mr Dreyfus wrote on X: ‘Marvellous actor. A constant in many of our lives. He shall be much missed. My thoughts with his family. RIP Timothy West.’

Alongside a sweet picture of Timothy, Gyles Brandreth, 76, said, ‘Cheers, Tim! And thank you. A marvellous man—a marvellous actor, husband, father, friend. 

‘On stage, on screen, on a canal boat, on the end of a pier (he loved a seaside pier!), in the garden with a glass of wine, he was just the best. The great Timothy West has died at 90; what a worthwhile, well-filled life.’

The list of Timothy West tributes was endless!

He was a fantastic performer, and he and Prunella Scales had a long and enduring marriage that was a real love affair. He was so devoted to taking care of her, too.

In addition, I want to express my deepest sympathies to Prunella and her family for the amazing and contented life they shared. All couples should find a lot of inspiration in this.

This man spent much of his life in an affectionate relationship and lived to a delightful old age.

He had a fantastic career, was loved by a large family and lots of friends, and lived a comfortable life in terms of financial security. In reality, as we know it, dementia is cruel and robs people of their short-term memory and in time, if not already, Prunella would have been unlikely to have recognised him, but death comes to us all, but what an incredible legacy he leaves behind.

2035: Reduce Meat Consumption, Use Heat Pumps, And Drive Electric Cars

Advisors have cautioned that to meet Keir Starmer’s new climate objective, British citizens must purchase electric vehicles and heat pumps and even reduce their meat consumption.

The prime minister said at the COP29 meeting in Azerbaijan that the UK will reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 81% by 2035.

He insisted it was possible to meet the goal without telling people ‘how to live their lives’, arguing that decarbonising the power network was the key. 

However, the government’s Climate Change Committee (CCC), which originally laid out the aim, has made clear that other changes, such as more vegetarian and vegan diets and less travel, would also be needed.

CCC head Emma Pinchbeck told the Telegraph: ‘They’ve done the job with working out how to get a lot of clean, cheap domestic electricity.

‘We need to get technologies into people’s homes so they can use the electricity. What we’re looking for is progress on heat decarbonisation, transport decarbonisation and renewables.’

Ms Pinchbeck said the ‘secret weapon technologies for the next decade are heat pumps and electric vehicles’.

Pressed yesterday on what Brits would have to do to hit the target, the PM said: ‘What we’re not going to do is start telling people how to live their lives. We’re not going to start dictating to people what they do.’

Asked again whether it was really possible to meet the goal without people changing their lifestyles, he said: ‘Yes, of course it is.’

Challenged that the CCC recommendations stressed the importance of adjusting behaviour, Sir Keir said: ‘The target is my target and the plan is my plan; I’m not borrowing from somebody else’s plan.’

The Tories warned the vow would lead to ‘sacrifice and hardship’ and would require a shift away from foods with a high carbon footprint and petrol and diesel vehicles.

In the Commons, shadow energy secretary Claire Coutinho told MPs that the pledge made the UK’s ‘already stringent carbon emission targets even higher’.

‘That’s despite the fact that we’re only one percent of global emissions, and whilst the leaders of the world’s highest emitting countries, making up over 60 percent of emissions, are not attending,’ she added.

‘The Climate Change Committee has said this target will require, for example, an accelerated shift away from meat and dairy, less travel, and a gas boiler ban for the British people, and yet the Government’s approach would see our reliance on Chinese imports—a country which is 60 percent powered by coal—go through the roof.

Ms Coutinho said the government was ‘asking for more sacrifice and hardship from the British people in return for more goods from one of the world’s largest carbon emitters’.

She warned that would mean fewer ‘jobs in Britain and more carbon in the atmosphere’.

Sir Keir was also asked if he was ‘disappointed’ that there were so few leaders of major world countries present at the Cop29 summit in Baku, Azerbaijan.

The heads of the biggest polluters were notably absent, including Chinese Premier Xi Jinping, US President Joe Biden and Indian PM Narendra Modi, while many EU leaders also stayed away.

The 81 percent target, which is based on reducing emissions compared with 1990 levels, forms the UK’s latest formal commitment to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions.

In 2020, when the CCC set the goal for 2035, it detailed a series of changes that would need to be made to live in the UK to achieve it.

These included phasing out gas boilers by 2033 and ending sales of new petrol and diesel vehicles, including hybrids, by 2032.

Additionally, it stated that encouraging people to consume less meat and dairy products, slowing the expansion of flights, reducing automobile travel, and reducing trash would all contribute to around 10% of the emissions savings.

The UN’s climate change chief Simon Stiell hailed the UK commitment, saying it set a powerful example to other G20 nations.

Charities and academics also welcomed the goal but cautioned that the government would need a proper plan to meet the target.

Tanya Steele, chief executive at WWF, said the UK had positioned itself as a climate leader but said it needed to back up the target with ‘solid and credible delivery plans’.

Dr Caterina Brandmayr, from the Grantham Institute—Climate Change and the Environment, Imperial College London, said the target was ‘what the world needs’ but said it needed to back it up with strong policy and investment plans to show it was serious.

Since electric cars and heat pumps are now too costly and are not the way of the future, many people will NOT make the changeover.

The largest political earthquake in history will occur before the next election, and Keir Starmer will not be the prime minister after. Labour will also be more shattered than the Conservatives were.

This kind of thinking is illogical. This government has no brain cells at all. Keir Starmer promised that his administration would prioritise the needs of the people before its own, but that isn’t the case.

I think that I speak for many, but if I don’t, then please correct me! Things are going to get much more chaotic and cold, amongst other things, but hopefully, common sense and economic necessity will prevail, and hopefully, at some point, Keir Starmer will realise that the rest of the country is not impressed, and neither will his voters be.

Our government has been sneakily telling us what we can and cannot do for a long time, but now they are telling us what we should eat!

Heat pumps are extremely inefficient and costly, particularly when temperatures drop below 5 degrees. The money you will spend on electricity is inefficient and useless.

What a liar Keir Starmer is. Although he said they wouldn’t begin dictating to individuals how to live their lives, we all know that they will and have already begun. They will create new tax laws and use taxes to do this; if we are not vigilant, they will next implement a meat tax!

We all know how they do this and their Stalin town councils will rub their greedy palms together with glee, knowing they have us right under their thumbs. Labour equals a centrally controlled and oppressive state.

It Is A Crime That Justice Has Been Denied

After refusing to provide the identities of 900 suspected Nazi war criminals who escaped to Canada during World War Two, Justin Trudeau has provoked uproar.

Jewish groups have called the decision, ‘disgraceful’ and say it dishonors Holocaust victims and survivors. 

The Canadian government is concealing the list of names amid fears it could be too embarrassing for the country, TNC reports.

After the war, a significant number of Ukrainian SS Waffen troopers moved to Canada.

Officials said there are also concerns the list could be used as Russian propaganda against Ukraine amid Vladimir Putin’s ongoing invasion of the eastern European nation.

The list of members of the Nazi-led SS Galicia unit was compiled by the Commission of Inquiry on War Criminals in Canada.

The panel then met with members of the Ukrainian community and ‘discrete group of individuals or organizations’ to consult on whether the names should be released.

But they did not meet with any Holocaust survivors or advocates pushing for the list’s release, the Ottawa Citizen reports. 

The Jewish non-profit organisation B’nai Brith expressed disapproval of the decision.

‘For decades, B’nai Brith & David Matas, B’nai Brith Canada’s senior legal counsel, have fought for full access—only to face endless delays and stonewalling,’ the organization said.

‘Canada is withholding hundreds of Nazi war crimes files from the public. This disgraceful secrecy dishonours survivors and denies justice.’

Bernie Farber, who is the son of a Holocaust survivor and a past member of the Canadian Jewish Congress, branded the decision ‘a shameful blot’.

Jaime Kirzner-Roberts, senior director of advocacy and policy at the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Centre, also expressed anger.

‘Absolutely disgusted by the government’s decision to continue to conceal the truth about the Nazi war criminals who moved to Canada and enjoyed total impunity,’ she said in a post on X.

‘What a grave insult to those who suffered at their barbaric hands. What a slap in the face to our great veterans.’

The list makes up the second part of the Deschênes Commission report, which began with a two-year inquiry in the 1980s.

The first part was released in 1986 and admitted that Nazis had been permitted to enter Canada and were residing there.

Campaigners including Jewish and Polish groups as well as the United Ukrainian Canadians have long been pushing for the latter half of the report to be released. 

However, they were overruled by other Ukrainian heritage groups including the Ukrainian Canadian Congress.

It comes after Canadian officials were heavily criticized for inviting former SS soldier Yaroslav Hunka to parliament where he was hailed as a war veteran and given a standing ovation.

House of Commons speaker Anthony Rota was forced to apologize after he recognized Hunka, 99, as ‘a Ukrainian Canadian war veteran from the Second World War who fought for Ukrainian independence against the Russians’ and ‘a Ukrainian hero and a Canadian hero.’

In 1944, Hunka’s unit – the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division – was visited by SS leader Heinrich Himmler, who branded Jewish people a ‘dirty blemish’ and said his men would be ‘eager’ to ‘liquidate the Poles’.

There is still debate about the division’s role in war crimes and atrocities, especially during the German occupation of Ukraine.

In the face of the intense criticism, Rota was ultimately compelled to step down over the error.

There are probably many Canadian elites who are connected, just like the US. Let’s not forget many were given new identities and given jobs. Oh, and don’t forget ‘Operation Paperclip.’

For those of you who have no idea what ‘Operation Paperclip’ was. It was a secret US intelligence programme in which more than 1,600 German scientists, engineers, and technicians were taken from Nazi Germany to the US for government employment after the end of World War II in Europe, between 1945 and 1959, several were former members of the Nazi Party.

The endeavour started in earnest in 1945, as the Allies advanced into Germany and uncovered a wealth of scientific dexterity and advanced research that had contributed to Germany’s wartime technological advancements.

The U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff officially launched Operation Overcast (operations “Overcast” and “Paperclip” were related, and the terms are frequently used interchangeably) on July 20, 1945, with the dual aims of leveraging German expertise for the continuous war effort against Japan and to strengthen U.S. postwar military research.

The operation, conducted by the Joint Intelligence Objectives Agency (JIOA), was essentially actioned by special agents of the U.S. Army’s Counterintelligence Corps (CIC).

Numerous selected scientists were involved in the Nazi rocket program, aviation, or chemical/biological warfare. The Soviet Union executed a similar program, called Operation Osoaviakhim, that highlighted many of the same fields of research.

The operation, characterized by the recruitment of German specialists and their families, resettled more than 6000 experts to the US. It has been valued at US $10 billion in patents and industrial processes.

Recruits included such prominent figures as Wernher von Braun, a leading rocket-technology scientist. Those recruited were instrumental in the development of the U.S. space program and military technology during the Cold War.

Despite its contributions to American scientific advances, Operation Paperclip has been controversial because of the Nazi affiliations of numerous recruits, and the ethics of assimilating individuals associated with war crimes into American civilisation.

The operation was not only concentrated on rocketry; endeavours were directed toward synthetic fuels, medicine, and other fields of research. Notable advancements in aeronautics cultivated rocket and space-flight technologies key in the Space Race. The process played a vital role in the establishment of NASA and the success of the Apollo missions to the Moon.

Operation Paperclip was part of a wider approach by the US to harness German scientific talent in the face of emerging Cold War pressures and ensure this expertise did not fall into the hands of the Soviet Union or other countries. The operation’s legacy has remained controversial in subsequent decades.

On September 22, 2023, Speaker Anthony Rota, the Member of Parliament for Hunka’s constituency, welcomed Yaroslav Hunka, a Ukrainian Canadian who served in the SS Division Galicia of the Waffen-SS, the Nazi Party’s military branch, to the House of Commons of Canada for recognition.

All members of the house, including visiting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and other party leaders, gave Hunka two standing ovations.

The Forward first revealed that Hunka was a member of the Waffen-SS, citing a tweet from scholar Ivan Katchanovski. The story gained international prominence after being picked up by the Canadian media.

The incident, seen as a political indiscretion and a scandal, such that it attracted comparisons to the most discomfiting moments in Canada’s history, was leveraged by the Russian establishment to further its reasons for waging war in Ukraine, which had been initiated under a pretext of “denazification”, among other stated reasons.

Rota quit as speaker five days later, and the House unanimously assumed a motion to condemn Nazism and revoke its praise of Hunka. Prime Minister Trudeau and Canadian government officials apologized to the worldwide Jewish community.

The handling of suspected World War II war criminals in Canada became a renewed matter of public interest.

Tragic for every victim and their loved ones, and it’s time for Trudeau to go – he needs to step down!

Largest Counterterrorism Operation By SAS

A terror assault at the National Service of Remembrance prompted the SAS to launch its largest security operation in London in almost four decades.

They were at the Cenotaph watching over thousands of veterans, members of the public, and dignitaries who met at Whitehall at 11 am.

Precise numbers were not made public for security reasons, but it was believed to be the biggest deployment in London since the 1980 Iranian Embassy Siege.

It came after Ken McCallum, MI5 chief, warned that the security service would have ‘one hell of a job’ on its hands in protecting the public from Islamic groups, right-wing groups, and hostile nations such as Russia and Iran.

Many special forces men were sent in to target lone wolves.

Some 10,000 veterans from all wars assembled in London on Remembrance Day.

SAS soldiers served under the Met’s Counter Terror Command and were selected from the Special Forces Group.

A counter-terror source told the Sunday Express: ‘For Remembrance Day, our focus is on radical Islamists and the radical Left, financed by Iran.’

King Charles and the Prince and Princess of Wales lead the two-minute silence.

Since being diagnosed with cancer, the Princess of Wales made her first high-profile appearance at the Festival of Remembrance, and she also appeared alongside Prince William at the lavish Kensington venue to celebrate Britain’s servicemen and women.

Despite her reputation for wearing three poppies to the Remembrance weekend events in the past, Kate wore just one this year.

William recently described this year as the ‘hardest’ of his life and remarked upon how proud he was of his father and wife for their bravery.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said: ‘We are forever in debt to those brave souls who fought to defend this country.

Conservative Leader Kemi Badenoch said: ‘We owe so much to our Armed Forces and the families who support them.’

It will be the largest SAS deployment since 1980, when 26 hostages, including a British police officer, were taken when six Arab gunmen took over the Iranian embassy in South Kensington.

They took the hostages in a protest against the theocratic rule of Ayatollah Khomeini after he ousted the Shah, the Iranian monarch.

From the Royal College of General Practitioners next door, the SAS team scaled the structure to enter.

They were able to rescue all but one of the hostages as they killed five of the six gunmen. 

Despite being given a life sentence, the surviving gunman, Fowzi Badavi Nejad, was freed in 2008 and is said to have continued living in the UK under a different identity.

Fifty soldiers participated in the assault: sixteen were on sniper detail, thirty-four were inside the building, and sixteen were in the reception area.

The SAS Special Projects team was each equipped with a submachine gun with four 30-round magazines, a 9mm semi-automatic pistol with two spare rounds of ammunition, a respirator, gloves, a balaclava helmet, body armour, boots, a belt, and a weapons-cleaning kit.

Vans carried teargas launchers and canisters, stun grenades, sawn-off pump-action shotguns, explosives, gun torches, food, water, radios, medical equipment, and spare weapons.

We’ve had years of open borders, vast swathes of our once green and pleasant land that are now occupied by the enemy within, and our government should be ashamed that we need to spend so much of our tax money on ensuring that Remembrance Day passes safely. 

Furthermore, the government continues to permit them to enter our nation both officially and illegally.

It says a lot when it comes to our politicians and what they’ve done to our country when the SAS have to mount a huge operation to protect events like this from radical Islamists and the far left. Our politicians are weak and have a lot to answer for.

The Trump Aide Who May Decide Harry’s Visa Fate Blasts Meghan’s ‘Wokeness’

Prince Harry’s future in the United States could be decided by a man who once called his wife ‘classic woke’ and accused her of wanting ‘freebies’.

Whoever Donald Trump names as Secretary of State may have the last say over the Duke of Sussex’s future, depending on the kind of visa he has.

Former US ambassador to Germany Ric Grenell, who served as interim director of national intelligence during Trump’s first term, is a strong candidate.

Grenell provided an unyielding opinion following the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s historic March 7, 2021, interview with Oprah Winfrey.

‘Meghan Markle is the classic American woke progressive,’ he tweeted. ‘She doesn’t want to do the work but is outraged she doesn’t get the freebies.’

Senator Marco Rubio, another candidate for Secretary of State, has not publicly expressed his opinions about Prince Harry.

Rubio is quite interested in British issues and has previously praised Sir Winston Churchill and the late Queen.

Judge Carl Nichols in Washington, D.C., decided on September 9 that U.S. government paperwork pertaining to the Duke’s visa status would not be made public, therefore it is still hidden.

It is unknown why the judge made that choice because he sealed his order.

However, experts have indicated to Dailymail.com that the Duke may be on a rare diplomatic visa known as an A-1 Head of State visa.

According to the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations,’members of a reigning royal family’ qualify for a standard A-1 diplomatic visa, but it is intended for when they are performing official duties.

A holder of an A-1 Head of State visa can be in the U.S. regardless of their purpose of travel and can work if they so wish.

In receiving one, there is a discretionary exception for anyone ‘individually authorised’ by the U.S. State Department.

The regulations say: ‘In any case in which there is uncertainty about the applicability of these regulations to a principal alien applicant requesting such nonimmigrant status, the matter shall be immediately referred to the State Department for consideration as to whether acceptance of accreditation will be granted.’

Melissa Chavin, a U.K.-based immigration lawyer, said such visas are proposed by the Foreign Office to the State Department and are ‘very much this handshake’ arrangement.

The Duke would have ‘duration of status’ and just need to be re-vetted ‘from time to time.’

To be honest, nobody should be thinking about Harry and Meghan at the moment. The United States is now dealing with brewing wars and other issues. Simply let them live their lives. There are children involved, and you cannot take it out on them. If you do, you are no better than Harry and Meghan. People are screaming that they should be expelled from the US, which would be OK if it were just them, and there is no way Donald Trump will be kicking Harry and Meghan out; he has much bigger fish to fry, and I don’t know if anybody noticed, but Meghan Markle is an American citizen, and she is married to Harry.

File out, folks; there’s nothing to see here, and it’s all much ado about nothing!
