Queen Camilla Says The King Is ‘Fine’

As Kate Middleton remains in the hospital following abdominal surgery, Queen Camilla confirmed today that King Charles III is “fine” in the hospital after receiving treatment for an enlarged prostate.

Camilla smiled and told onlookers that ‘he’s fine, thank you’ as she walked out of The London Clinic in Marylebone at about 3 pm this afternoon, six hours after arriving.

According to MailOnline, the 75-year-old monarch is ‘doing well’ following the completion of surgery. The duration of Charles’ hospital stay is unknown.

Before entering the premises for his medical care, the King, accompanied by Camilla, paid a visit to his daughter-in-law, the Princess of Wales, at around nine in the morning.

Charles underwent a corrective procedure today after being diagnosed with a benign condition, and he has postponed his engagements for a recuperation period.

He was dressed in a smart suit and tie and navy overcoat for his arrival at the London Clinic, while Camilla was wearing a royal blue coat and carrying a green handbag.

Some thought Camilla’s decision to accompany Charles was strange, as the late Queen and Prince Philip always visited hospitals alone.

Onlookers called out ‘we love you lots’ towards Camilla after she left her husband’s bedside. No further updates are expected from Buckingham Palace this afternoon.

Earlier, a Palace spokesman said just after 9.30 am today: ‘The King was this morning admitted to a London hospital for scheduled treatment. His Majesty would like to thank all those who have sent their good wishes over the past week and is delighted to learn that his diagnosis is having a positive impact on public health awareness.’

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has wished the King the ‘very best’ for his treatment and a ‘speedy recovery’ afterwards, a Downing Street spokeswoman told reporters.

According to the Court Circular, Charles met Professor Robert Miller, the director of the Whittle Laboratory, and Dame Polly Courtice, the emeritus director of the University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership, yesterday at Sandringham.

Just a few minutes after departing Clarence House this morning, Charles was seen on camera arriving at the London Clinic. Yesterday, he had flown back by helicopter from the Sandringham estate in Norfolk to his London home.

The King had been resting at Sandringham since last Friday after flying back there with Camilla from Birkhall, his private home near Balmoral in Aberdeenshire.

It comes as the Princess of Wales remains at the London Clinic after her abdominal surgery. Kate is not expected to carry out official engagements until after Easter.

I bet the King doesn’t have a sneering consultant or junior doctor trying to discharge him to free up his bed. While in the real world, people are waiting years for the same procedure.

Regardless of financial status, everyone should have access to the same high-quality medical treatment.

Camilla is referred to as the Queen Consort, so therefore she will always be referred to as the Queen. The same as the Queen’s mother was also known as Queen Elizabeth or the Queen’s Mother. Of course, some out there don’t like Camilla and don’t see why she should be called a queen—myself included—but the fact is, she is, and there’s nothing we can do about it, even if we don’t like it.

A Queen, ‘Do me a favour! I’m here on the floor, laughing.

Charles, like his mother, had privileges but no real power, and our government will carry on doing what they’re doing with their disastrous policies while King Charles buries his head in the sand because he knows no better.

Tories Plot War Of Attrition Against Rishi Sunak

Rishi Sunak is facing a ‘war of attrition’ by Tory rebels, with May shaping up to be the biggest moment of danger.

Even though no MP has openly called for the PM to resign, as former minister Simon Clarke did, the PM’s internal opponents are bracing for a protracted effort to remove him as several challenges lie ahead in the coming months.

Conservatives fear ignominious defeat in two more by-elections taking place in Wellingborough and Kingswood on February 15.

The premier will face yet another important test on March 6 when Chancellor Jeremy Hunt presents his budget, which comes after both he and Mr Sunak raised the possibility of significant tax cuts.

The following week, Westminster expects to see a battle with the House of Lords as peers are due to finalise scrutiny of the Rwanda Bill.

If Mr Sunak successfully navigates through all those minefields, the May 2 local elections might result in significant losses for the Conservatives in mayoral and council races, unless the polls have drastically changed.

Some MPs argue that many colleagues privately share Sir Simon’s belief that Mr Sunak cannot win an election and that this will be the pivotal moment, making a leadership challenge by summer unavoidable.

‘What Simon has said resonates with a lot of people,’ one former minister told MailOnline. ‘Rishi isn’t moving the dial, and if he hasn’t moved in the past year, is he going to move before the next election.’

The Member of Parliament also refuted the notion that it will be too late to pick a new leader in the summer, with November being the preferred date.

‘It wouldn’t be ludicrous to have another leadership election,’ they said. ‘We are walking into an utter disaster. Another leader could do no worse and might do better.

‘Who says it is too late? It is never too late to change course.

The senior Tory added: ‘The only people who will be criticising us changing leader are the people who fear they might be better.’

Despite the manoeuvring, there are doubts over who may succeed Mr Sunak, according to an Ipsos UK survey.

About 42 per cent of Tory voters in 2019 had a positive opinion of Mr Sunak; Chancellor Jeremy Hunt followed at 38 per cent; and Home Secretary James Cleverly at 28 per cent.

With a net favorability rating of +13, the PM ranked far higher than his Chancellor and Home Secretary, who had ratings of +7 and +2, respectively.

Additionally, there wasn’t much of a difference between Mr Sunak and potential outsiders for the parliamentary Conservative Party.

Among 2019 Tory voters, former prime minister Boris Johnson had a 43 per cent favorability rating; nevertheless, his 34 per cent unfavorability rating was greater than Mr Sunak’s.

They put Rishi Sunak in No. 10 without any vote or even Tory member approval. Now they will suffer the horrendous consequences of a total wipeout. They’ve taken the electorate for fools for far too long, and now many of those fools will vote Reform.

I believe that many people will vote for Reform, but to gain any seats in this rotten FPTP electoral system, Reform needs to climb above the Conservatives in the polls.

Hopefully, people will continue to support Reform despite Rishi Sunak’s election giveaway bribery.

There is little doubt that the opposing parties’ divergent goals will prevent them from ever producing the outcomes that the silent majority so earnestly desires.

The Tory Party is run by the upper classes, now the upper caste – fools who have no idea of reality and are still living in the 1930s.

Jean Descamps’ Body Camera Released In Transport Death

Investigations are ongoing regarding the death of a 26-year-old man who was being driven by Milwaukie police from a hospital. However, Milwaukie police officials released the body-worn camera footage of one of the officers late on Friday afternoon.

On December 13, Jean Descamps was being transported by law enforcement from Providence Milwaukie Hospital to Unity, a behavioural health facility. Nevertheless, when they arrived at Unity, he was unconscious and passed away in spite of CPR.

Despite the ongoing nature of the investigation, Milwaukie PD said they completed reviewing and redacting the body camera footage and wanted to release the body camera footage of Officer Timothy Cleary because of the “significant public interest in the case” and their “commitment to the highest level of transparency within and beyond our community.”

At Providence Milwaukie, the cops arrive.
Descamps was moaning and not answering questions as police arrived at the hospital. Although hospital workers said he had no medical issues, he didn’t seem well, and he was allowed to go home.

A staff member said, “He was pleasant and conversant the entire time until right when his discharge arrived.” “He’s not thriving, but it’s all behavioural—yep, 100 per cent behavioural—and there’s no medical justification for him to be here any longer.”

Even though there were warrants for his arrest, the jail would not accept him in his current state. They debated sending him to a homeless shelter.

“Here’s the deal. You can either go to the homeless shelter, alright? Or you can go outside and be cold. You can’t stay here,” an officer said.

Descamp made a simple moan.

Eventually, the police handcuffed him and got him into a wheelchair to take him to the police cruiser. They decide to take him to the behavioural health centre.

But when the officer goes back in to get Descamp’s discharge papers, neither the hospital staff nor the police can decide who’s responsible for him. Hospital staff said he came to the hospital voluntarily and that he wouldn’t take a cab they ordered for him.

Who said what in this interaction is unclear.

“Why is he being released?” an officer asked.

“He walked in here.”

“We have no place to take him. (crosstalk),” the officer said.

“We had him set up with a shelter, a cab to take him to the shelter, and he didn’t want to leave. He wanted to stay here all night. So that’s how that happened.”

“It’s not really a medical problem.”

“It’s not a police problem, either. It’s really not,” the officer said.

“It’s a community problem.”

Officers arrive at Unity.
Officers headed to Unity Behavioural Health. But shortly after they arrived and talked with him, they realised he was unresponsive. Within seconds, officers pulled Descamps from the cruiser, removed his cuffs, and began CPR. But despite their efforts, he was pronounced dead after 11:30 p.m.

A while later, the officers are talking with emergency personnel about what happened.

“The supervisor’s like, ‘Take him back in the hospital,’ and they refused him. You’re just going to drop him off at a bus stop and let him freeze tonight? He’s not verbal. He’s not talking. He’s got involuntary drool. And they’re like, ‘No, there’s nothing wrong with him.’”

The officer then explained to EMS responders why they eventually resorted to behavioural health transport.

“We brought him here,” an officer said.

“You guys did everything right,” the EMS responder said.

According to the Medical Examiner, a drug overdose with “contributing natural causes” was most likely the cause of death. A toxicological report that is still awaiting will be used to make the final decision.

An hour after the police took Jean Descamps from the hospital, he passed away.

Whatever you see in movies and on TV about hospitals in the US, well, it’s a lie. It’s not about people and humanity. The first thing they care about is money.

The circumstances that people find themselves in are depressing. You will not be seen if you do not have insurance. This is a career devoid of humanity, and health concerns are not given any human thought.

I was furious with these police officers because they put this man in handcuffs even though they could tell he posed no threat.

The final hours of this man’s life were spent without any respect.

This should go viral, and I do hope that somebody, whoever it might be, sues the hospital for neglect and also Officer Cleary for threatening the dying man to jail. Surely they could see that he needed to be in hospital. He might have been an addict, but he was still someone’s son and he was a human being, and he deserved to be treated with respect.

At some point in the video, you could hear one or two of the cops laughing. These are cold, heartless, vile cops, and it might not have been a big deal to them, but it was a big deal, and I’m sure if it was their family, addiction or not, they certainly wouldn’t be laughing.

There was no dignity or comfort for this man, and he left this world without any words, love, or comfort. This has to be one of the saddest things I’ve seen in a long time, and shame on the people who failed him.

This man had neither dignity nor comfort, and he departed this life with no affection, consolation, or words. Shame on the folks who let him down; this has to be one of the saddest things I’ve seen in a long time.

It was just inhumane how this poor man was treated. No compassion. They wouldn’t have treated an animal this way but they will human beings. Some people are just evil, and money is their God.

This man was starving and homeless, but he was also a young man in a physical condition of collapse who lacked health insurance. Did the police or the hospital make any effort to locate his family? This boy lacked even proper clothes. Even though the hospital could have found him a blanket, they chose not to, and they showed complete indifference to his obvious helplessness.

Mould-Ridden Home Repaired For Woman

A disabled pensioner said she’s so grateful to be back home after her mould-ridden home had a £120,000 transformation by volunteers.

Pat, 70, was forced to move out of her Swindon bungalow shortly before Christmas after developing a chronic illness as a consequence of the black mould that covered the walls and furnishings.

The home was cleaned and renovated with help from about 150 locals and over 70 businesses.

“It’s absolutely amazing what they’ve done for me,” she said.

“I’d like to thank them all from the bottom of my heart, and I am so, so grateful to them all.”

Additionally, Pat had an “awful” and “scary” rat infestation in her home.

“I would bang the radiator in the hallway and hope that they would run so I could make a cup of tea,” she said.

“It was black, smelly, and disgusting. You’d have to watch where you walk because there was water leaking.”

She added, “It just got worse and worse and worse.”

Although Janet Reynolds, a 44-year-old friend of Pat’s, had been helping her with weekly shopping, she had not been inside Pat’s home since the outbreak and was oblivious to how awful things had gotten.

Pat finally decided to approach Ms. Reynolds for assistance.

“I was absolutely mortified,” Ms Reynolds said.

“I could not believe anyone was living like that. It was the most shocking thing I’ve ever seen.

“The whole house from top to bottom was covered in thick black mould. I could hardly breathe.

“I was in here for barely thirty seconds, and I had to get out the house because it was unbearable.”

Ms Reynolds told Pat she had to get out of the house because it was not safe and put her up in her own home for two months while a crew of local volunteers and tradespeople moved in.

Ms Reynolds said she worked her day job while looking after Pat and worked on the house until 23:00 or midnight “to try and get the work done”.

“It was very tiring and testing at times, but it was worth it,” she said.

“I couldn’t walk away knowing that someone was living like this.”

She added “the only option” was to help her friend.

The makeover was coordinated by Emerald Damp Specialists’ Brendan O’Neill, project manager, who estimated the project’s value at approximately £120,000.

He remembered receiving the call from Ms Reynolds.

“I came out that evening, and wow. This house was uninhabitable. It was dangerous,” he said.

“She managed to live in this for two years; I couldn’t come in here for 10 minutes.

“It was just mould in the air and mould on everything.”

He said he could smell the mould from outside the house, and “you could see the black spoors in the air” inside.

Mr O’Neill would not let Pat re-enter the house.

His employer gave him permission to work on the house at Pat’s expense.

“We felt like it was something we needed to do,” he said.

According to Mr O’Neill, 154 workers completed the house with help from 70–80 businesses.

“What more could you ask for? There is a community here that will actually do some real good.”

Pat said that walking back in, she felt “excited and nervous.”

“It was mixed emotions. I wanted to come home but was scared as well.”

She said she loves “the beautiful shower” and the “lovely” working central heating.

“Hot water—that was my saddest part of life—no hot water,” she added.

Pat mentioned that she was excited to have her friends around for tea.

“They can call in and see me on their way home from work, which is wonderful. Make my life normal again,” she said.

An Unarmed Stranger Was Punched In The Face By Gang Member Who Asked If He Was Jewish

A man who approached a stranger and asked if he was Jewish before hitting him in the face is being pursued by the police.

In regard to the antisemitic incident that occurred in Wembley last year, the Met Police have made available a CCTV photograph of the individual that they would want to talk with.

A Jewish man reported being attacked on October 13 on Wembley’s Kingsbury Road.

He said that a group of men had approached him before asking if he was Jewish.

Upon pulling out his phone to snap a picture of the gang, the guy claims that one of them punched him, striking him in the face.

PC Catherine Brady, leading the investigation, said: ‘This assault left the victim incredibly shaken and we know it has caused concern within the wider community.’

She continued: ‘Hate crime of any kind is not something we tolerate, and we have been carrying out inquiries to establish who is responsible for this offence.

‘Anyone who recognises the man in this photo or has any other information about the incident should call 101 with reference 4001/13OCT23.’

It follows a rise in hate crimes motivated by anti-Semitism.

Three Jewish friends reported earlier this week that they were assaulted in Leicester Square for ‘ speaking Hebrew’ by a group of individuals. They placed many 999 calls before law enforcement came.

The victims said that early on Sunday morning, they had been having a great day out in London’s West End when they were ambushed by a gang of as many as twenty males.

One individual stated that she made ten calls to the Metropolitan Police out of concern for her life, only to be informed by the operator that she wasn’t the only one who had called that evening.

They claimed that while the gang of criminals screamed “Free Palestine,” they were struck in the head and neck and that “15 to 20 guys” attacked them, leaving one of them injured and in need of medical attention.

The incident is being investigated by the Metropolitan Police as an “anti-Semitic hate crime,” and it took them 28 minutes to get an officer to the site.

Two Jewish men and a woman were attacked at around 1:30 a.m. on Sunday when they were strolling in a popular nightlife district in Britain.

We shouldn’t even seriously try to sort through the convoluted and massive mess that is the Israeli-Palestinian issue since there is so much at stake.

Although the situation between Israel and Palestine is complex, it’s not that complex.

At a basic level, the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians is over who gets what land and how that land is controlled.

Yes, there are some tricky things, like how to partition Jerusalem, but there isn’t a huge list of them, and while solving these problems might be quite challenging, understanding them doesn’t have to be.

The dispute might appear far more difficult than it is for three primary reasons.

First of all, it has persisted for a number of decades, which is a lengthy period.

As a result, delving into any particular aspect requires reciting a significant amount of historical background. Although this can be difficult to achieve, it does not always indicate that the problems are intractable or impossible to comprehend or solve.

Secondly, every side presents a distinct account of the battle, including what transpired, what is important, and who is responsible for what.

It may be perplexing and draining to hear so much contradictory information; this impact is exacerbated by the fact that American public discourse alternates between the two narratives.

However, having conflicting accounts of events is not rare in major battles, nor does it render the truth of what happened incomprehensible.

Third, pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli partisans frequently promote the notion that the dispute is either extremely simple (“our side is right”) or extremely complex, beyond the comprehension of outsiders.

The lesson is the same in all interpretations: you shouldn’t overthink or read about what’s going on.

This is a tragically successful technique to stop a discourse; it makes people want to disregard the arguments made by the opposing side, dismiss the abuses of their own side, or just give up.

One of the many reasons why the discourse is so poisonous is because all of this effectively gives the conversation to the most ardent partisans.

Additionally, it serves the status quo of ongoing hostilities, which is excellent news for radicals on both sides who hope to end the fight by winning a decisive military victory over the other. Thus, take it upon yourself as a global citizen’s civic obligation to disregard those who say you are incapable of comprehending this conflict—you are capable of doing so.

While it is true that the majority of Palestinians are Muslims and Israelis are Jews, religion is not one of the main causes of the war. Contrary to what your elementary school teacher might have said, this is not a conflict between Islam and Judaism over religious distinctions. Israeli and Palestinian ethnicities are at odds over non-religious matters of territory and identity.

The majority of European Jews who organised and promoted the first wave of mass Jewish migration to what is now Israel in the late 1800s and early 1900s were secular Jews.

Jews were regarded by their movement, Zionism, as both a religious and a national community, similar to the French or Chinese. Although there are many religiously observant Israelis, particularly on the political right, the greater movement that gave rise to Israel was and is predominantly secular.

Additionally, the early armed movements in Palestine were predominantly secular.

Contrary to popular belief, they were not Islamic fanatics; rather, they were Palestinian nationalists, much like the Irish Republican Army was.

Even officially, several early organisations were communist. Indeed, more modern organisations like the 1987-founded Hamas support Islamism. But underneath their jihadi rhetoric lie, for the most part, the same nationalist motivations as earlier movements.

A Boy Lived ALONE In An Unheated Flat For Two Years, From The Age Of Seven, After His Mother Abandoned Him To Live With Her Boyfriend In France

It has come to light that a nine-year-old child, who had been left behind by his mother to live with her lover, had been living alone in an unheated apartment in southwest France for the last two years.

The youngster was abandoned in a council flat in Nersac, a Charentean village outside of Angoulême, when his mother relocated three miles away to live with her new lover, according to French media.

The unidentified mother, 39, was sentenced last week to six months in prison for abandoning and endangering a minor. The boy’s father, who lived in another town, was not charged.

The youngster lived alone from 2020 to 2022. During that time, he washed himself in cold water, wrapped up in blankets and sleeping bags to be warm, and there were times when he had no hot water, heating, or power.

He was forced to steal tomatoes from a nearby balcony and scavenge for food from neighbours, who eventually went to the police, who got the boy taken into care.

According to The Times, the boy’s mother informed the neighbours that she was taking care of her son and asked them to keep out of her business when they voiced their worries before he was discovered.

Locals claim that the boy’s life of abuse and seclusion went unnoticed in part because he went to school, behaved well, and maintained decent grades.

Despite his hardship, Barbara Couturier, the town’s mayor, told France Bleu that the child had kept up with his studies and was an ‘excellent student’.

‘I think it was also a kind of protection that he put around himself to say, “Everything is fine,” she said.

She added that she did not think anyone would have been able to detect what was really going on, given how well the boy looked after himself.

A classmate of the youngster told TFI television: ‘He told his mates that he ate his meals alone and took the bus alone. He didn’t go out and stayed home all the time.’

According to reports, the boy’s mother claimed during the trial last week that she had lived with her son; however, police-obtained cellphone data allegedly refuted this claim, demonstrating that she had not spent much time in the flat.

I would have felt proud to have had this young lad as a son. You even feel proud of how he kept it together, poor lad. Hopefully, this guy is destined for greatness.

Because he will never have to rely on anybody except himself, this boy will succeed in life, and hopefully, now he will get the care that he deserves.

Amazingly, he did all of this for himself. However, it must have been so lonely for him. Coming home to an empty house, going to bed with no story or bedtime cuddles and waking up in the morning to silence. His mother, if you can call her a mother should be ashamed of herself.

What a very sad story indeed, and I can’t believe that his birth giver only got six months. Yes, I know I said birth giver, very woke indeed but in this instance it’s pretty appropriate. She gave birth to him and later went on to let him fend for himself. Did she think she was in the wild because animals do this, and then not all of them?

I believe that saying birth giver in this instance is perfectly acceptable. It’s disgusting what she did, and she can hardly be called a mother.

HABITS WITH HIGH COSTS

Due to his problematic vaping habit, a 22-year-old North Dakota man had to undergo a double lung transplant and spent months in the hospital.

In October 2023, Jackson Allard was first taken to the University of Minnesota Medical Centre due to gastrointestinal discomfort.

Following examinations, physicians discovered that he had double pneumonia and influenza 4, which had affected his oxygen levels and lungs.

The young adult’s health worsened despite being intubated to allow his lungs to recover, forcing physicians to put him on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) equipment.

In the end, Allard’s physicians recommended a double lung transplant in order for him to live.

Allard’s grandmother, Doreen Hurlburt, said: ‘At one point, a doctor said he had a 1 per cent chance of living, and we said, “He’s fighting; he’s fought for how many weeks we’re going to give him a chance to fight; we’re not going to stop any procedures or anything.”

‘He’s just friendly; he’s outgoing; everybody’s just attracted to his energy and how much fun he is.

‘I thought for sure we were going to lose him. I thought for sure he’s wasn’t going to survive this, but in my mind, I kept picturing him coming home.

‘You have to stop vaping, and we kept telling him that over and over and over again, and he was a heavy vaper. He vaped all the time, but he said, “It’s better than cigarettes.”

‘Well they said, with cigarettes in 50 years you’ll have lung cancer, in five years, if you vape they will see you with permanent lung damage.’

In order to attend routine check-ups at the university hospital, the adult vaper and his mother Jamie will be residing in Minneapolis for a minimum of half a year.

Based on the current situation, Allard can never drink alcohol or smoke and will need another transplant in his life.

Hurlburt’s final words before being intubated were reportedly, “I am scared, I don’t want to be alone,” according to his GoFundMe page.

The fundraising page has raised $20,910 toward its $30,000 goal.

Research on vape chemicals conducted at Johns Hopkins University indicates that hundreds of chemical components are still unidentified in vape goods.

However, of those tested, a number had dangerous ingredients, such as caffeine, three compounds never before discovered in e-cigarettes, a pesticide, and two flavourings connected to potential hazardous consequences and respiratory irritation.

Propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin, the two main constituents of e-cigarettes, have been shown in a University of North Carolina study to be harmful to bodily cells.

Ninety per cent of all vape products come from China where quality control is pretty sketchy.

Vapes function similarly to pacifiers or dummies. Dummies for grownups, that’s right!

This young man, who isn’t a movie celebrity, may influence young adults because of his age if he makes an anti-vaping plea as a public service, much like many celebrities do with anti-smoking ads.

Most of these vapes are sourced mainly from China. All vapes should come with a warning, much like cigarettes do. It is all there to destroy the health and well-being of our youth through insidious addiction, yet Western governments are still more than happy to peddle cigarettes and vapes for millions in tax revenue.

If you want to smoke or vape that’s up to you, or our government could ban both, but of course they won’t because they want the revenue, so they keep letting them come into the country. However, we really shouldn’t be putting stuff into our lungs that shouldn’t be there – simple!

Pele’s Body Must Be Examined To Prove He Is The Father Of A Woman Claiming To Be His Lovechild

A woman claiming to be football legend Pelé’s secret daughter has demanded the exhumation of his body to prove whether he is her father.

Maria do Socorro Azevedo, 60, instructed a lawyer to make the move nearly five years after first launching a paternity lawsuit.

According to reports published overnight, which cited attorney Marcos Fernando dos Santos Sousa, the Brazilian centre-forward’s DNA test revealed “high possibilities” of a blood connection despite the original tests’ negative results.

According to Mr. dos Santos Sousa, they were left with “no choice” but to ask for Pele’s remains to be exhumed in order to “resolve the situation.”

Pelé, who died aged 82 on December 29 2022 in a Sao Paulo hospital after having a tumour removed from his colon, recognised the possibility he could have another child in his will. He reportedly agreed to a DNA test but died before it could take place.

Pelé married three times and officially has seven children, including a stepdaughter. Last year, it was reported the footballing icon had left £13mn to a secret daughter in his will after spending his life denying he was her father.

Maria do Socorro Azevedo spoke publicly about her claims she is Pele’s daughter on a Brazilian TV programme on Sunday and insisted she was not interested in his money.

She said her late mother had never told the former Brazil and Santos forward she was pregnant with their child after a fling in Sao Luis in the Brazilian state of Maranhao.

Maria, a native of the northeast Brazilian state of Piaui, stated that she had initially made the decision to get a DNA test in 2019 while working as a cleaner in Sao Paulo.

Thirty per cent of Pele’s wealth went to his third wife, Marica Aoki, while the remaining sixty per cent was divided amongst his children and two grandchildren.

His estimated net worth at the time of his passing was £78 million.

Following the reading of their father’s will, Edinho Nascimento and Flavia Christina, two of his children, consented to undergo DNA testing.

Maria do Socorro Azevedo is entitled to her portion of the fortune bequeathed to her siblings if she is identified as his eighth child.

Augusto Miglioli, a lawyer representing Pele’s family, stated that his clients will challenge any demand for the exhumation because Maria was not the football player’s daughter, according to previous DNA testing.

Maria do Socorro Azevedo stated that she is not interested in the money, but if it is shown that she is his daughter, she will accept it anyway.

I can’t understand why the test wasn’t carried out before Pelé died. After all, it’s just a mouth swab. If his other children genuinely feel that she’s not his daughter, then they have nothing to fear, although she does resemble him so there might be some truth to it.

We will soon be undergoing DNA testing both at birth and after we pass away. Life would become much easier as a result. Naturally, some individuals who are unfamiliar with DNA testing may become agitated, but with a few hours of investigation, they might likely discover that this is an excellent tool.

If it turns out Pelé isn’t her father, then perhaps she should be made to pay the family money. See if she’s keen to dig him up then.

Pelé was a legend, and it appears that he can still score goals from beyond the grave.

A Flawed Home Office Age Check Led To The Placement Of 1,300 Child Migrants In Adult Accommodation

Internal data shows that the Home Office misclassified over 1,300 immigrant minors as adults after they arrived in the UK.

Due to errors in the method used to calculate the arrival age, the migrants were detained or housed in unsupervised adult facilities between January 2022 and June 2023.

In response to freedom of information requests, 69 councils said they received 1,004 referrals of young people who had been sent to adult accommodation or detention between January and June 2023.

Of these referrals, 847 instances had age-based choices made, and it was discovered that 57 per cent of the cases involved minors.

This indicates that in just six months, at least 485 children were put in grave danger while living with adults, according to the study.

According to a joint analysis by the Humans for Rights Network, the Refugee Council, and the Helen Bamber Foundation, the government’s recent efforts to tighten the asylum system have left vulnerable youth outside of welfare and child protection programmes.

They further assert that hundreds of children may be unjustly taken from the UK and transferred to Rwanda as a result of the Illegal Migration Act, which Rishi Sunak’s government is working to enact.

The report stated that many may also be sent to countries where they may be at serious risk without ever having interacted with child protection professionals or a chance to challenge the Home Office’s decision.

The findings are built on data gathered by the Humans for Rights Network between January 2022 and June 2023, which recorded 832 safeguarding episodes when there were ‘strong reasons to believe’ that a minor was sharing accommodation with an unrelated adult.

Out of these cases, 406 minors have had their age recognised by local authorities; another 123 are in care while the results of their evaluation are awaited; and 136 are being represented by lawyers to establish their under-18 status.

According to the study, there are serious doubts regarding their safety and whereabouts since the Humans for Rights Network has not been able to get in touch with another 50 migrants.

The report added: ‘This shows that in 18 months over 1,300 children were wrongly assessed to be adults by the Home Office.

‘These figures are likely to be an underestimate because not all local authorities collect this data and not all children are being referred to children’s services.’

The report described the Home Office’s approach to assessment as flawed, with officials using a short visual assessment, which can include judgments based on ‘demeanour’, shortly after refugees arrive in the UK.

Human rights network: how are we doing with respect to ours?

We don’t count. We need someone to save us from this madness and from those who think they know better or this will just continue.

What about those adults masquerading as children and attending school? And how many thousands were put in children’s accommodation because they claimed to be fourteen or so years old when they were 24 or so years old, and our idiot civil servants fell for it because they wouldn’t use scientific methods available in case they upset someone?

Why should those who do not legally belong in the UK be the burden of the British taxpayer?

Our Home Office is incompetent when they can make these mistakes so easily.

Because of the current state of Britain, those who were born here are without rights.

With its meddling in the internal affairs of other nations, the UK appears to be led by a group of individuals who have no concept of what it means to be a ruling nation. This is putting the country further into chaos and might perhaps lead to another war. Too many men and women in the UK have been sacrificed to the caprices of politicians; perhaps we should adopt the neutrality of Switzerland.

Anyone Who Speaks Out Against Putin’s Invasion Will Have Their Property Seized

Russia’s parliament is considering new legislation that would give the state the power to seize the property of people convicted of defamation of the armed forces or for calling publicly for actions that undermine state security.

Criticising what Moscow calls its ‘special military operation’ in Ukraine has effectively been a crime in Russia since the day it began almost two years ago, but the new bill aims to make penalties for that even tougher.

It would enable the state to take possession of the belongings of Russians who have left the nation and expressed disapproval of the conflict but who yet depend on the money they get from renting out their homes or flats in Russia.

The measure, which might impact thousands of Russians who have voiced their opposition to Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine, has been compared to the ‘enemy of the state’ language of the witch hunts conducted under Soviet dictator Josef Stalin in the 1930s.

The new draft has been nicknamed “the scoundrel law” by Vyacheslav Volodin, the speaker of the lower chamber of parliament, the State Duma, who is close to President Vladimir Putin.

‘Everyone who tries to destroy Russia, betrays it, must be published accordingly and repay the damage to the country in the form of their property,’ he said at the weekend while announcing the submission of the bill.

The new bill’s announcement coincides with the presentation of several boxes containing signed petitions endorsing Vladimir Putin’s candidature for president in March, a poll in which he is virtually guaranteed to win a second term in power.

Putin is running as an independent, which would allow him to maintain control over Russia for at least another six years, despite his strong ties to the ruling United Russia party.

The 71-year-old leader has already twice used his influence to change the constitution, giving him the ability to potentially hold onto power until he is in his mid-80s.

With Stalin’s 1953 death, he had already held the position of Kremlin leader for the longest period of time.

In order to be listed on the ballot, independent candidates in Russia must submit at least 300,000 signatures collected from 40 different areas of the nation.

According to Russian press sources, the Central Elections Commission received 95 cardboard boxes containing signed petitions from Putin’s campaign team. According to earlier estimates, the campaign had amassed over two million signatures.

For crying out loud, this is the twenty-first century. Russia appears to be returning to the past. They had a taste of independence under Gorbachev, but Vladimir Putin has returned them to the dark ages. But then, this is a country of serfs; it always has been and always will be.

If this madman feels like he’s losing, he won’t hesitate to hit the nuclear button, and then Iran, China, and North Korea will be eager to join the fray. For most, at least, it will end quickly. Oh, the joys of living in an open prison called Russia.

Vladimir Putin doesn’t only want his men to die in this pointless war; he also wants their silent obedience while it’s happening. Why would anyone want to live in a country run by a paranoid oppressor and despot? I mean, really, why?

Yes, Russia is the bulwark of democracy, justice, and the law. They really couldn’t look any more like pantomime villains, even if they had enormous fake moustaches.

It’s not the first time, though, that a state has chosen to seize assets or imprison people according to their ideas. Written constitutions are crucial because they allow the state to be held accountable; otherwise, tyranny will prevail wherever in the globe. Together, we must all stand up for our right to free speech and opinion.
