Liz Truss Leads Tory Revolt On ‘Un-Conservative’ Plans For A ‘Stealth’ Ban On Buying Cigarettes

Rishi Sunak is facing another revolt over his ‘un-Conservative’ plans for a ‘rolling’ ban on buying cigarettes.

Former prime minister Liz Truss is one of the prominent individuals attempting to thwart legislation that would raise the legal age of tobacco product purchases.

In an attempt to regain the upper hand, Mr Sunak is promoting the actions together with a fresh crackdown on youth vaping.

The proposals would ban the sale of tobacco products to those born on or after January 1, 2009, meaning any child who turns 15 this year will never be legally sold cigarettes.

The motion has the support of Labour, so Parliament will virtually probably pass it. But the administration is prepared for a major rebellion from members of parliament who are disturbed by the ‘nanny state’ measures.

Ms Truss said ministers ‘should not be seeking to extend the nanny state’.

She added, ‘While the state has a duty to protect children from harm, in a free society, adults must be able to make their own choices about their own lives.

‘Banning the sale of tobacco products to anyone born in 2009 or later will create an absurd situation where adults enjoy different rights based on their birthdate.’

Mr Sunak is facing a number of rebellions about the Rwanda deportation plan and is finding it difficult to contain growing Tory discontent with his leadership.

Simon Clarke, a former Cabinet minister, came out of hiding last week to warn that Mr Sunak has to be replaced to prevent Labour from crushing the party in the election.

Disposable vapes are set to be outlawed in the UK as part of a comprehensive plan to curb minors’ use of nicotine products.

Powers will also be introduced to restrict flavours specifically marketed to children and to ensure manufacturers produce plainer packaging.

Presently available tastes include pineapple ice, triple melon, pink lemonade, and cherry cola. They are presented in a variety of vivid hues.

The limits, which are anticipated to take effect at the end of 2024 or the beginning of 2025, will be implemented by the government using the authority already granted by the Environmental Protection Act.

Vapes must be kept out of sight, and retailers that sell vapes to minors unlawfully will now be subject to new “on the spot” fines.

With Rishi Sunak as Prime Minister, there’s nothing left for anyone to enjoy anymore.

The UK is falling apart and Rishi Sunak wants to bring this in as one of his priorities.

Scotland and Wales, which have devolved powers, are taking similar action.

Vapes, cigarettes, alcohol—it won’t be long before he bans bacon. Can you see the nature of our enslavement?

Rishi Sunak should be reducing violent crimes in the UK, which is out of control, and what about all the boat people coming here and living off benefits?

So, apart from allowing the UK to be flooded with potential terrorists arriving by boat. Dragging us into World War III and energy prices basically killing off the old and vulnerable, Rish Sunk diverts our attention by banning disposable vapes and the sale of cigarettes to certain age groups.

Is this to keep youngsters healthy for his planned battle, or has he fully lost his mind? Before they cause any more harm, Sadiq Khan and Rishi Sunak ought to be taken out of office.

In any case, the ban is unworkable. Youngsters will merely ask for someone else to purchase them. Furthermore, who will replenish the government’s coffers with the lost tobacco tax revenue? Maybe a higher income tax.

Minute By Gruesome Minute

In Alabama, a murderer was executed overnight using an unproven and previously untested technique, resulting in what witnesses described as a terrifying 22-minute ordeal.

Kenneth Eugene Smith, 58, was given a $1,000 payment to murder Elizabeth Sennett, a 45-year-old lady from Alabama, more than 30 years ago. Smith was given the death penalty for the crime. Since then, he has been on death row.

Smith was supposed to be put to death via lethal injection in 2022, but the effort was aborted at the last minute because the medical staff was unable to set up an IV line.

On Thursday night, the state attempted to execute him once more and was successful this time around by employing “nitrogen hypoxia,” which is the process of suffocating a victim by breathing gas through a mask.

Since 1982, when lethal injection was first utilised and subsequently became the most popular technique, this was the first time a new form of execution has been employed in the United States.

Alabama had predicted that the nitrogen gas would cause unconsciousness within seconds and death within minutes.

The execution at the Holman Correctional Facility in Atmore, Alabama, was everything from straightforward, according to those who witnessed it.

Witnesses said Smith appeared to shake and convulse at the start, pulled against his restraints, and breathed for up to ten minutes before finally falling unconscious.

Even though executions are never captured on camera in the US, the events can be pieced together from witness accounts provided by those who were present when Smith was put to death.

The entire execution—from the moment the curtains opened to the moment they were closed in the viewing room—took around 22 minutes, which was far longer than anticipated.

Witnesses waited in a viewing gallery for over an hour before Smith’s arms and body were shown, bound in cruciform, to the gurney at 7:53 p.m. local time (1:53 a.m. GMT).

His face was fastened to a mask that resembled a firefighter’s mask, which was connected to the nitrogen gas source and prepared for use.

Marty Roney of the Montgomery Advertiser, who witnessed the execution, said a plastic tube ran out of a hole in the concrete block wall of the execution chamber.

Pictures of Holman’s execution chamber from 2002 depict a drab, clinical room with two windows, one for the public gallery and one for the prison authorities supervising the death; however, it was unclear exactly what the room looked like.

Smith’s wife Deanna was watching through the window, along with a select few others. The murderer’s spiritual guide, Jeff Hood, touched Smith’s feet with a bible.

At 7.55 pm, Smith was allowed to speak his final goodbyes before the procedure began. He reportedly smiled when he recognised people in the media gallery.

Speaking through the gas mask strapped to his face, Smith made a heart sign and an ‘ok’ sign with his left hand to his family before declaring: ‘Tonight Alabama causes humanity to take a step backwards… I’m leaving with love, peace and light.

‘Thank you for supporting me. Love, love all of you,’ Smith added.

Then, at around 7.57 pm, a corrections officer checked the seal of Smith’s mask, while a prison warden remotely activated the ‘nitrogen hypoxia system’, delivering a fatal dose of toxic gas into Smith.

The prisoner would have been suffocated as a result of the gas filling his airways and blocking oxygen from reaching his brain.

In theory, the method involved replacing the air breathed by the inmate with 100 per cent nitrogen. Those who support the method say the process should be painless, pointing to nitrogen’s role in suicides or deadly industrial accidents.

However, witnesses said afterwards that it was too much longer for Smith to fall unconscious than Alabama officials had said. He pulled against his restraints and appeared to shake and convulse, as the gas filled his system.

While the murderer struggled to break free from his bindings, his spouse Deanna, donning a ‘Never Alone’ T-shirt, frantically called out to him from the observation stand.

Smith convulsed for four minutes, according to Marty Roney’s report. “When the gas started to flow, he seemed to be completely conscious,” he claimed.

Between 7.57 pm and 8.01 pm, ‘Smith writhed and convulsed on the gurney,’ he wrote.

‘He took deep breaths, his body shaking violently with his eyes rolling in the back of his head,’ his account continued. ‘Smith clenched his fists, his legs shook … He seemed to be gasping for air. The gurney shook several times.’

Situated fifteen feet away, Hood made the sign of the cross numerous times,’ according to Roney, and continued to bless him throughout Smith’s struggle and execution.

In the first four minutes, Roney said, “Hood took off his spectacles and wiped away tears as the gurney shook several times.”

Subsequently, Hood said that the execution was the ‘worst thing’ he had ever witnessed, stating that prison guards gasped in disbelief as Smith died rather slowly.

Hood stated, “He started to convulse when they turned on the nitrogen. He popped up on the gurney over and over again and shook the entire gurney.”

According to him, the jail guards there “were visibly surprised at how bad this thing went.” “What we saw was someone struggling for their life,” he continued.

Afterwards, at a news conference, Alabama’s Commissioner of Corrections John Hamm stated that it seemed as though Smith was holding his breath as long as he could.

Roney said at 8.02 pm, Smith appeared to lose consciousness, his chest remaining still for 20 seconds before he took ‘several large gasps for air’.

At 8.07 pm, a corrections officer leaned over Smith and examined him, before stepping back against the wall to allow for the execution to continue. It was at this point that Roney said Smith appeared to take his last breath.

Not that I think execution is acceptable—I don’t, and this is the reason why—but this man did a horrible act and was given the death penalty as a result. No one is authorised to carry out God’s task. I acknowledge that this individual killed another human being, but murdering someone does not make the victim return; rather, it only renders us all barbarous and guilty of yet another horrible act.

I do feel sorry for the so-called lovely peaceful Christians who are now cheering at his torturous death – how very Godly you all are.

We do not have the right to take the life of another person. What is it they say, ‘An eye for an eye and we all go blind’? It’s about the morals and ethics of a society that advocates the taking of a life in this manner.

And why in the world would anyone want to see an execution from the viewing room? To be doing that, you’d also have to be a little bit twisted. It isn’t an athletic endeavour.

Even if this man’s crime was horrific, it doesn’t mean that his death was ethically justified. This was merely another state-approved horrific murder. How do they sleep at night, I wonder? And those who murdered this man are no better.

Following The Israel-Palestine Conflict, UK Schools Pull Out Of Anne Frank Trust Education Programmes

The UK’s schools have stopped using the Anne Frank Trust’s educational programmes because of “community tensions” resulting from the conflict between Israel and Palestine.

Three schools have reportedly delayed their academic curricula since Hamas began its terror strikes against Israel on October 7, according to the charity.

Nine- to fifteen-year-olds are taught about Anne Frank, the Holocaust, prejudice, and antisemitism by the trust.

In 2023, the Anne Frank Trust worked with 119,000 youths in more than 800 schools around the United Kingdom. 

Despite the three schools quitting since the conflict began, according to chief executive Tim Robertson, the total number of participants has grown since this time last year. 

In response to October 7, he informed the Jewish Chronicle that the organisation had not seen the need to significantly alter its curriculum; nonetheless, “we’ve provided extra training and support for our staff.”

In the aftermath of the attacks, he added, ’emphasis was placed on some key elements of Anne Frank’s story,’ like her sister Margot’s longing to relocate to British Palestine and the fact that Anne’s best friend Hannah Goslar, who survived Bergen Belsen, rebuilt her life in Israel.

The foundation also declared today that the first Royal Patron of the Anne Frank Trust UK is none other than Her Majesty The Queen, who was formerly HRH The Duchess of Cornwall.

Anne Frank and her family hid for two years in a secret annexe to the canalside house after the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands during World War II, but were captured in a raid in 1944.

Anne and her sister died in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945, but her diary, found by her father Otto, became one of the most haunting accounts of the Holocaust, selling some 30 million copies.

“The brutal attacks carried out by Hamas on October 7 marked the deadliest day in Jewish history since the Holocaust,” a representative for the Campaign Against Antisemitism stated. Antisemitism has increased by an astounding 1,350 per cent since then.

‘Surely the answer to the rampant antisemitism that we are seeing is to teach more about the perils of Jew hate, not less. 

‘This should not be controversial, and if there are safety concerns, the response must be to confront those, not to avoid the subject for fear of offending those who don’t want children to learn why it’s wrong to hate Jews.’

According to the Anne Frank Trust, 73 per cent of young people make ‘significant’ progress in their knowledge about prejudice following its workshops.

This is a disgrace, and the importance of history is being lost. The efforts to deny the Holocaust seem to be working. What happened in World War II is now history, but everyone should understand what took place so that there isn’t a repeat of it.

The terrorists win again. 

Anne Frank (Annelies Marie Frank) was 16 years old when she died.

I’ve never been to the camps before and actually wouldn’t.

The Frank family fled into refuge in the Prinsengracht 263 building on 6 July 1942. Otto Frank’s firm was situated in that building. Fritz Pfeffer and the Van Pels family later joined them. The main house and the annexe were the two components of the construction. The upper stories of the annexe were where the eight individuals hid.

The annexe was deserted and abandoned when Otto Frank became the last survivor of Auschwitz in June 1945. Otto requested that the Anne Frank House’s annexe remain unoccupied even after the museum opened its doors in 1960.

Fritz Pfeffer and Anne had to share a room, which frequently resulted in disputes. It was difficult for her to remain indoors all the time. Her diary served as a venting outlet. Anne hung photos on the wall to make the space seem brighter.

‘Thanks to Father, who had brought my whole collection of picture postcards and movie stars here beforehand, I have been able to treat the walls with a pot of glue and a brush and so turn the entire room into one big picture.’

Anne Frank, 11 July 1942

We should never forget what happened in the Holocaust, because to forget the past is to dishonour the memory of those who perished in the concentration camps.

Those who perished didn’t even have the dignity of a grave. They only have us, and without us, who will remember not only their tragic fate but also the vibrancy of their lives?

Those who deny that the Holocaust even existed. What did the war emerge from thin air?

Genocide against Jews and everyone else not of Aryan descent was committed during the Holocaust.

We must never forget the six million Jewish women, men, and children and all the other victims, among them hundreds of thousands of Roma, murdered during the Holocaust.

For evil to flourish, it only required men to do nothing, and it seems evil is flourishing.

There were many World War II soldiers. It appears that their sacrifice was in vain, and I’m very relieved that they are no longer with us to witness the current situation.

There is no longer any bravery to oppose evil. Everything is woke this and woke that; the school should be ashamed for taking this into consideration, and the government should be ashamed for allowing it. 

  

White Dad Stokes Fury By Asking ‘Black TikTok’ For Advice On Styling His Adopted Black Baby Zoë’s Curly Hair

A white dad has stoked fury on the internet by asking ‘black TikTok’ for help styling the hair of his adopted black baby girl.

The dad, known as Will, posted a video on Sunday of him brushing his infant Zoe’s locks, asking about products or techniques that would make them more manageable.

After receiving criticism on social media for his bad parenting and for exploiting the infant to garner publicity, the 36-year-old from Dallas, Texas, removed the video.

The case shines an uncomfortable spotlight on interracial adoptions and how social media fuels attention-seeking, virtue-signalling behaviour.

‘We have adopted a black baby; her name is Zoë, and I don’t know what to do for her hair,’ Will told his 34,000 followers in the now-deleted video.

‘Please, any black parents or anyone who knows what to do with black children’s hair, please help me in the comments.’

The clip then focuses on Zoë, a cute baby with more hair than the average newborn.

In response, other TikTokers offered sincere advice on how to take care of her curly hair.

But most responded angrily that Will and his husband, who is also white, had adopted a black baby for social media posts.

‘Pray for baby Zoe,’ posted one.

‘Will’s concern was to go viral,’ said the creator known as @mannylifedaily.

‘And you finally did, Will, off the back of a black baby.’

Some commentators said Will had failed to do basic research about raising a black girl.

Others noted that he went straight to social media rather than Googling about Afro-hair or asking an African-American friend.

‘You have a few months to become an anti-racist,’ said mary_says, a TikToker who posts about childcare.

‘If you ever want to pass as a barely-acceptable parent to this person.’

In response to the outcry, Will appears to have made his social media accounts private, but not before some individuals reposted his earlier posts.

Some show Will and his husband wearing expensive designer clothes, posing with Zoe and their dogs.

The couple also documented what appears to be a private adoption process, including scans of the unborn child at the hospital during the birth.

When DailyMail.com tried to get in touch with Will, he did not respond right away.

NBC News was informed by him that he was taken aback by the negative response to his initial post, which he believed to be innocuous.

I’ve heard it all now. For crying out loud, he just asked a genuine question. People need to grow up and get a life.

He received criticism for raising a question, but he would have received criticism regardless of whether he had inquired. Is interfering in other people’s affairs the only thing humans can do with their lives?

He could have asked Google, I guess. There’s always a YouTube video or an answer available there.

There was nothing wrong with him asking. If you don’t know, then you just ask for help, which is what he did, although perhaps a bit too publicly, but at least he asked.

Bad parent, no, I don’t think so, just a new parent. Let’s face it, we were all new parents once; it’s definitely a learning curve.

He asked for help and then the community got mad. What a clown world we live in.

The perpetually offended strike again. I hope that this beautiful child and family have a wonderful life together.

People weren’t enraged because he asked for help. I will say it as it is: they were enraged because a gay couple who are white adopted a baby of colour, and that’s why they got upset.

Stand By Me

‘Tomorrow’s going to be a rough day. Stand by me.’

These were among the last words 14-year-old schoolgirl Mia Janin said to her friend in a WhatsApp voice note in the early hours of March 12, 2021.

Mia never saw tomorrow.

At 6:50 in the morning, her parents discovered her lifeless body at their Barnet family residence.

Mia, a year 10 pupil at the Jewish Free School (JFS) in Kenton, north-west London, took her own life after months of relentless bullying by male pupils, a coroner ruled yesterday.

Her heartbroken family has revealed the harrowing voice message she sent to a friend the night before she was due to return to school.

‘Tomorrow’s going to be a rough day,’ said Mia through tears in the message, which was shared with BBC London.

‘Stand by me. I’m taking deep breaths. In and out.

‘I’m currently mentally preparing myself to get bullied tomorrow.’

At the end of yesterday’s inquest, Mia’s distraught father, Mariano Janin, declared that his daughter had been “failed” by the “people who were meant to keep her safe.”

She was the target of a demeaning boys-only Snapchat group, and she was the victim of a violent campaign of bullying by male students both at school and online, according to evidence presented at this week’s inquest.

Yesterday at Barnet Coroner’s Court, coroner Tony Murphy of the North London district decided that Mia ‘took her life while still a child and while still in the process of evolving into maturity’.

Mr Murphy said Mia was last seen alive at about 10 pm on March 11 2021, when she said goodnight to her parents in their family home.

She was found hanged by her parents at about 6.50 am on March 12 2021. Two undated letters in Mia’s handwriting were found on her bed addressed to ‘her loving family and friends’, which ‘explained that Mia decided to end her life’.

Mr Murphy added before his conclusion that Mia had ‘close friends, including at her secondary school, but she also experienced bullying from some male students’.

He added that neither Mia’s family nor teachers were aware of that before her death.

Sadly, Marisa Janin, Mia’s mother, passed away from an aneurysm a few months after her daughter.

Speaking after the inquest, Mr Janin told reporters, ‘Nothing will bring back my wife and my daughter Mia. For almost three years, we have sought answers for the loss of Mia.

It did greatly hurt me to read about this. At school, bullying occurs frequently, yet little is done to stop it. Although schools claim to have anti-bullying policies in place, they are unaware of what occurs.

Seeing bullies continue to have an impact on people’s lives without taking responsibility is depressing. The suffering they cause us doesn’t just go away as we age; it remains with us forever.

Bullying stays with a person forever. They relive those memories over and over again. They can never regain themselves fully, never mind the ongoing anxiety.

Bullying needs to be recognised as a crime, especially by junior and senior students, because the pain that it causes is forever enduring.

She was a young, beautiful girl, and this was a hard article to write, but then any article about children is hard to write about.

This young girl had her whole life ahead of her, and I can’t even imagine how her father must be feeling, especially as his wife also died as well.

Bullies in schools have always existed, but the bullying that occurs in this day and age is on a completely different level because of social media and the internet.

The government should forbid children from using social media until they are at least 20 years old. Bullying would still occur, of course, but it should be made illegal by extremely strict legislation; otherwise, children would be able to get away with bullying, which is a crime that has to be punished. If you lock them in a police cell for an hour or so, they may reconsider what they did.

A Painting By Gustav Klimt Resurfaces After 100 Years

After being missing for almost a century, a long-lost Gustav Klimt artwork has emerged and will be auctioned off on behalf of its Austrian owners. The family has owned the painting privately since the 1960s.

The Viennese auction house Kinsky announced on Thursday that “Bildnis Fraeulein Lieser” (Portrait of Miss Lieser) will be auctioned in April with a potential auction price of up to £43 million.

The family of a rich Jewish manufacturer commissioned Klimt to paint the piece in 1917, just before he passed away.

The dark-haired woman in the well-preserved artwork was first shown to the public in Vienna on Thursday.

On behalf of the present Austrian owners and the Lieser family’s legal heirs, it is scheduled to be auctioned off on April 24 under the terms of a Washington Principles-compliant deal.

That international agreement from 1998 outlined the process for returning works of art that the Nazis had taken.

The piece was last exhibited in 1925 at a Viennese exhibition; the only prior evidence of its existence is a black-and-white picture.

The painting’s previous owner was identified in the photo as a member of the Lieser family, who resided at ‘Argentinierstrasse 20’ in Vienna.

Henriette Lieser, who had remained in Vienna despite the Nazi rule, was deported in 1942 and murdered in Auschwitz in 1943.

When Ernst Ploil, a lawyer and authority on art law, was consulted by the present owner prior to inheriting the painting, the incomplete picture surfaced once more.

According to Ploil on Thursday, despite intensive investigation, it was still unknown how the artwork was acquired by the present owner’s family, which has had it since the 1960s.

‘We have a gap between 1925 and the 1960s,’ he added.

He emphasised, however, that they had not discovered any proof that the piece had been plundered, stolen, or forcibly taken before or during World War II.

According to Ploil, the painting’s back is “completely untouched” and has “no stamps, no stickers, nothing.”

‘There are no indications of any illegal confiscation during the Nazi era, i.e., the usual stamps from the Gestapo or a shipping house where looted art was stored,’ he added.

The descendants of the Lieser family have not yet made any claims, although a few of them have visited Vienna in order to view the artwork.

Rarely do portraits by Klimt become available for purchase.

I must admit, I do love Gustav Klimt’s work. It’s beautiful, with some very vibrant colours, and this is a fabulous find.

If I had it, I would be inclined to keep it even for the money it will bring; it’s so beautiful.

Like the majority of Gustav Klimt’s oeuvre, this picture is fantastic. A woman’s inner fragility and power are well presented, showcasing an amazing use of colour. ‘A scent of a woman’ is more appropriate for the title.

Even though I might not be able to purchase the original artwork, I would be thrilled to have a printed copy.

They say it was lost, but maybe it wasn’t lost at all, and if it was lost, maybe it should have stayed lost because it was being looked after where it was.

Although Gustav Klimt’s artwork may not be to everyone’s taste, there is something very amazing about it.

The thing about some paintings is that a photograph simply doesn’t do them justice. The portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer, also called ‘The Lady in Gold’ or ‘The Woman in Gold’ is an oil painting on canvas, with gold leaf, by Gustav Klimt. It’s an amazing painting and the gold leaf gleams in the painting in the original, but this doesn’t show up in a photograph.

Parents Have A Role To Play In Stopping Their Children From Carrying Knives

Parents have a role to play in ensuring their children do not carry knives, Sir Keir Starmer said yesterday as he launched a crime crackdown.

Speaking exclusively to the Daily Mail, the Labour leader suggested parents should consider handing knives into amnesties to help prevent violence.

Yesterday, he unveiled a plan to tackle the ‘epidemic’ of knife crime, promising to end ‘apology letters’ that allow youths carrying blades to dodge charges.

Rather, he stated that under Labour, in addition to parental interventions, each offender would receive a “bespoke action plan” to help them avoid reoffending.

During his visit to Milton Keynes police station yesterday, Sir Keir unveiled the £100 million annual plan and told the Mail that he was “struck” by the number of parents who turn in knives to the police.

Officers displayed boxes of knives gathered via amnesties to the head of the Labour Party and Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper.

In an interview afterwards, he said: ‘I was struck by the fact that family members, including parents, are sometimes handing those knives in.

‘Parents, understanding that something may be going wrong and deciding to take the action of getting rid of whatever it is that might be used.’

Sir Keir added: ‘A parent being involved and knowing that they could be part of the support… every knife in those amnesty bins was not just a knife; it was a life. And that is quite poignant. Parents who feel confident to play their part are very important in that.’

Schools, local police, juvenile offending teams, and parents all have a shared responsibility, according to Ms Cooper.

‘Clearly, we want parents to be involved, to be taking action, and to be making sure that everything possible is being done.

‘When you’ve got young people starting to get drawn into gang activity or have been caught carrying knives, this is immensely serious, and there’s a real danger that things escalate and get worse and that you end up with lives being lost.’

Labour has also promised to introduce new measures to combat anti-social conduct and restore respect in Britain.

In order to deal with chronic offenders, the party has promised to implement “Respect Orders,” which will have the authority to arrest anybody who violates them.

Anti-social conduct, according to Sir Keir, ‘totally devastates individuals’ and there has been a ‘loss of respect across the board’ that has become worse nationwide.

It all sounds great, but many of these young teenagers with knives come from homes where parental support and control are either not there or non-existent.

In what way does Sir Keir Starmer suggest changing “bad” parents into “good” parents?

Jumping up and down and stating the obvious isn’t going to solve the problem. There have to be certain strategies in place, but then it is just like the government to shut the barn door once the horse has bolted.

Simply put, jail time should be the consequence for any adult or child who decides to forge a blade.

We had something called genuine discipline once, but when my kids were smaller, I wouldn’t even let them have a plastic knife or play pistol, much less a real one.

We didn’t have Playstations or an Xbox back then. Now they have these contraptions that they play violent games on and believe that they’re real, and then they go out and wreak havoc on society.

Good old-fashioned games and pleasure are gone. Kids’ made-up games require creativity and require their imagination. Nowadays, children are treated like placated zombies and kept silent by their parents, who either lack the time or choose not to engage with them.

Anything that involves a console should have an 18+ on it!

British Troops Must Prepare For Conscription Within Six Years Unless Vladimir Putin Is Defeated

An analyst has warned that if Vladimir Putin is not overthrown, British citizens should get ready to be called up for duty within the next six years. He also expressed his belief that there isn’t a “snowball’s chance in hell” that the Russian dictator will back down on Ukraine.

Professor Anthony Glees of the University of Buckingham, an authority on security and intelligence, concurs with statements made earlier this week urging Britons to get ready for the possibility of conscription should an all-out war break out with Russia.

General Sir Patrick Sanders, the outgoing commander of the British Army, stated on Wednesday that the nation’s “pre-war generation” had to be ready to respond to the call to duty and build a “citizen army” to defend the King and country.

Top NATO officials worry that simmering tensions over Ukraine might lead to a ground battle between Putin’s forces and Western allies over the next 20 years; Prof. Glees worries that it might happen sooner.

The retired professor proposed in a recent interview that the military start recruiting civilian volunteers over the next three years and prepare for an obligatory call-up within six.

He told the Mirror that, barring a loss by Putin, “the whole of the nation” should get ready for conscription within six years and that the UK government should aim to recruit volunteers now and over the following three years.

He made a comparison between the current state of affairs and that of 1937, the year before the Second World War broke out when conscription was still a long way off.

Gen. Sir Patrick drew a similar parallel nearly two years prior in June 2022, stating that Britain was experiencing a “1937 moment” as the West reconciled with Putin’s invasion of Ukraine months earlier.

Prof Glees continued: ‘I would see a ‘limited conscription’, a call-up of incentivised volunteers, as being very much on the cards if Putin is now thrown out of Ukraine. If there were a wider European or world war, conscription would follow at once.

‘Putin has repeatedly said he wants the post-1997 NATO states to be disarmed and brought back into the Russian orbit, re-creating the system of satellites that was the strategic policy of the USSR. There’s not a snowball’s chance in hell of Putin just going away.’

He is not the first to support General Sir Patrick’s opinion that Britain needs to be prepared for war in the event that hostilities with Ukraine escalate into full-scale conflict.

General Sir Richard Shirreff, a veteran of the British Army and a former deputy commander of NATO, urged the armed forces to start “thinking the unthinkable” on Thursday and explore reintroducing obligatory conscription for the first time in 60 years.

People have said that they would not fight for a nation where citizens who were born here must choose between heating their homes or freezing on the streets while our government billets illegal immigrants in opulent 4-star hotels.

Our government puts illegal immigrants before UK taxpayers who have fallen on hard times and those who fought in the UK military services. It’s disgusting.

Our self-serving administration has shown complete disrespect towards men, women, ex-service personnel, and every law-abiding, respectable British citizen for years, all the while allowing or welcoming individuals from all over the world into the UK.

Not only do they let them enter the UK, but they also get priority when it comes to housing, subsidies, and NHS treatment.

It seems that we are now the dumping ground for illegals, and we are seen as a soft touch. We dish out billions for wars or conflicts in other countries, but when it comes to the UK, we get nothing. It’s not Russia that’s a danger to us Brits, but our government, which puts us knowingly in the biggest danger.

Hellhole Island

Residents living on a ‘ghost town’ island claim gangs of youths ‘control’ the streets because they ‘never see police officers’.

The angry residents of Sheerness, Kent’s Isle of Sheppey, who “feel abandoned” by the authorities, have called the town “the town that time forgot.”

People are leaving the island in the Thames Estuary in search of safer places elsewhere, and families claim they are afraid to send their children to school.

Upon visiting the port town, which has 21,139 residents, MailOnline found that it is in the top 20 most dangerous towns in England and the second most dangerous small town in Kent.

Locals claim that flytipping, crime, theft, drug abuse, and a “total lack of community spirit” have sent the neighbourhood into “abject desperation.”

One woman said, ‘It is a hellhole island. There’s parts of here I would not be paid a million pounds to visit. It is terrible.’

With 181 crimes per 1,000 residents, Sheerness has a higher crime rate than Kent’s average of 88. Most of the problems had to do with narcotics, criminal damage, and antisocial behaviour.

In addition to being the largest town on the Isle of Sheppey, it is well-known for housing three prisons, the most secure of which is HMP Swaleside.

There was the horrific murder of 18-year-old Christopher Alaneme in 2006, following his pursuit by a group of five vacationing white men.

It was even nicknamed “hellhole island” by one YouTuber.

One man on Tiktok said: ‘Most people think the Isle of Sheppey is a prison colony, but it’s far worse than that.’

He also said in a video that it was ‘probably the most dangerous place in the whole of the southeast’.

Margaret Jackson, 67, who lives in Sheerness, told MailOnline: ‘It is a hellhole island. There’s parts of here I would not be paid a million pounds to visit. It is terrible.

‘It’s got so much worse in the last few years.

‘There is a lot of violence and anti-social behaviour. The youths run riot. They control some of the estates, and people won’t go near them.

‘The high street is a ghost town, like the town that time forgot.

‘They just bring the dregs of society to live here. Not many local people live here anymore.

‘They have all come in from outside.

‘Some of them are the roughest of the rough and cause nothing but misery to the rest of the town and the island in general. They are appalling.’

The third person to be sent to prison in 2022 was James McCreadie of Linden Road, Sheerness. He was a member of a gang of robbers who frequently preyed on residents of the town.

There’s no such thing as bad areas, just bad people.

Sheerness has always been a bit of a tip. The best thing that could happen is that the authorities evacuate it and leave it as a prison camp. The island is not fit for purpose.

Regretfully, a dearth of resources and financing can degrade a community by encouraging drug use and criminal activity, but then this is Rishi Sunak’s Britain.

Proper policing should be in every area of England, but the trouble is that our police now have no time for physical problems unless someone types an offensive comment that makes someone else cry.

But it’s not just the Isle of Sheppey that has gone bad—the entire United Kingdom has become toxic, and we’re now past the point of no return.

Society is slowly breaking down. The police have lost control, and gangs are taking over. Unfortunately, everywhere will be the same; it’s just a matter of time. I feel sorry for our younger generation of children.

Police Appeal For Baby Elsa’s Missing Mother After A Newborn Girl Was Found Dumped In The Street In A Shopping Bag

The police have appealed for baby Elsa’s missing mother after the newborn girl was abandoned in a shopping bag at a London crossroads in below-freezing temperatures last week.

Elsa was found by a dog walker who stumbled on the then-hour-old baby at Greenway and High Street South crossroads in Newham at around 9.30 pm on January 18.

The child was named after the main character from the Disney movie Frozen by hospital staff. 

The Metropolitan Police today appealed to Elsa’s mother and gave a description of a woman they are looking for.

They believe the woman entered the Greenway from High Street South and left the Greenway, heading in the direction of Fabian Street.

Chief Superintendent Simon Crick also made a desperate appeal to baby Elsa’s mother, telling her: ‘Your daughter is safe and well, but we need to make sure that you are too.’

CS Simon Crick, lead for policing in Newham, said today: ‘A week on, I firstly want to thank media and the public who have shared our appeal up and down the country. I know how concerned everyone is for Baby Elsa and her mother’s welfare.

‘Since our first appeal, we’ve had 17 reports from the public sharing information, and I can assure people that every single one is assessed and progressed where that information is thought helpful. Baby Elsa is safe and well. I’m sure people will have seen recent reports that she has now left the hospital. 

‘Our colleagues in Newham Council continue to make sure she’s well looked after and cared for.

‘My team are continuing their work. We’ve collected a considerable volume of CCTV footage. While we’re still examining it in detail, we have identified a woman we would like to speak to and a witness who may have seen her.

‘We believe the woman is black; she was wearing a large dark coat with a light-coloured scarf or hood around her neck and had a rucksack on her back. We believe this woman entered The Greenway from High Street South and left the Greenway heading in the direction of Fabian Street.’

He continued: ‘We’re also keen to identify a witness who we think could have seen this woman in the vicinity of The Greenway. He is believed to be male, wearing a dark-coloured hooded coat with a backpack; the coat or backpack has a reflective strip on the rear of it. He exited the Greenway at around 21:10hrs.

It’s such a shame a woman had to feel she needed to dump her baby. Something she will probably regret for the rest of her life.

It is obvious that the woman needs medical attention, particularly after giving birth, but she is probably too afraid to call the police for fear of being taken into custody.

This mother would have been feeling overwhelmed with the decision to have to do this and probably was not thinking clearly, and she must have felt so scared having to give birth on her own in God knows what surroundings. I hope that she’s okay.

There have to be designated areas where parents can leave their infants alone, maintain their anonymity, and seek medical attention on their own dime if necessary. Although the circumstances are unknown, this gift may have simply passed away.
