Monday,
it was the fifth anniversary yesterday of the arrest of the Saudi blogger Raif Badawi, whose supposed crime was to argue for secularism, democracy
and human rights. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison and 1,000 lashes – a
punishment that amounts to death by torture – although only 50 lashes were
inflicted on him in the one session. Medical opinion was that he would not
survive the remainder of that part of his sentence.
Gunmen have stormed a tourist resort in Mali popular
with westerners and two people are dead, the country's security minister has
said.
Officials said "suspected
jihadists" were behind the assault.
Locals reported hearing shots
fired at the luxury destination - Le Campement Kangaba resort in Dougourakoro,
to the east of the capital Bamako.
Boris
Johnson said in 2009 that safety fears were making the UK safe for ‘extremely
stupid people’

"Conservative
ministers have repeatedly belittled the role of regulation in keeping people
safe, buoyed by a rightwing press that has taken every possible opportunity to
denounce a health and safety culture gone mad. Nothing sums this up better than
the government’s facile “red tape challenge”, which insisted civil servants
find two regulations to scrap for every new one introduced."
What an upside
down world, Christiano Ronaldo wants Real Madrid to pay the 13,000,000 euro tax
bill being claimed otherwise he'll leave the club. What a piece of excremental
exudate.
Just
after midnight, a van was driven into The Muslim Welfare House near Finsbury Park
mosque, a clutch of buildings behind tall iron gates on Seven Sisters Road, is
the headquarters of a network of community centres serving Muslims in England
and Wales.
A registered charity, it has 13 employees on its books and had an
income in 2016 of £856,000. It offers educational classes, such as skills
training and language lessons, youth activities, lectures and religious
services.
The north London premises is also a mosque, with more than 2,000
Muslims regularly attending Friday prayers. Up to 800 can squeeze into the main
prayer hall, another 1,000 into the youth centre, and there is a separate
women’s prayer space.
“The services provided here are much more than a mosque can
offer,” Toufik Kacimi, the CEO of the charity, said in an interview earlier
this year.
“We have services for children, for youth, services for women -
different needs are all tackled with different programmes. It’s not like a
mosque where you pray and go home.”
It appears to me a far right extremist, terrorist attack on
Muslims, specifically. This cancer is fed by racists, for anyone who might read
this unfamiliar with these British Nationalists will include but not
exclusively, Britain first, English defence league, National Front and British
National Party. Now on the various social media I look at I have seen posts
from these scum shared and propagated by people I know, generally after a
terrorist outrage committed by ‘Islamic’ terror mongers. Because of my profession many of these will
be nurses, workers in a caring profession I am dumbfounded. The only Muslims
these will have met are health professionals or local restaurateurs. Prior to
Muslim specific hate, around the time of the EU referendum the vent of their
spleens were Eastern Europeans. During the referendum build up ‘foreigners’
were blamed for poor or perceived poor NHS performance, blamed for housing,
school, social welfare shortages. This was unchallenged in the interests of
balance in the build-up. Scapegoating by the like of Farage, words like ‘control
of our borders’ from Johnson, Gove, Fox, Davis, Rees-Mogg et. al. Has given
validation, succour and the oxygen of publicity to these far right animals. In
complete contrast, an imam prevented the perpetrator receiving a serious beating
in order for British justice to take its course.
Tuesday, today Tory party divisions, Mr Hammond the Chancellor of
the Exchequer, wants U.K. To remain part of single market and customs union
until a full deal is negotiated, this could take years, that will not please
the get out at all costs brigade, they're probably worried all the old people
who voted to leave will die off, the young who voted to remain will increase,
another referendum might be needed, fantastic say I.
Wednesday, Queen’s speech today, very many ensures in it. Little
of substance, speaking of governing for all with a consensus, bit of a debate
on the radio afterwards, Tory MP reverted to nasty type, their consensus is –
you agree with us or nothing – I hope they try, fail and dismally so.
The archaism of it all never ceases to amaze me, I wouldn't wish
ill on a nonagenarian and I don't, but just because that old lady was born into
the right (German of all things) family somehow or another she is declared a
religious leader, head of state, has a song asking God to save her, from what I
wonder, those beastly unwashed, foreigners, or the ungrateful people her family
colonised or enslaved, and to be a people's representative you have to swear an
oath to her. You can even get medals from her, member of her empire, order of
her empire and commander of her empire, oh well the people seem to like her.
Thursday, wrote the above yesterday, oddly enough one of the
younger ‘royals’ is reported to have said that his ilk would not want to be
‘king’ or ‘queen’, but they would because it's their duty. I suppose being a multi-millionaire,
land owning posh boy is hard work.
Mrs May has gone to meet EU leaders in Brussels, looks very
isolated, I still do not feel sorry for her.
Some of the people, homeless from the Grenfell Tower disaster are
to be rehoused nearby in a luxury block, mutterings from luxury residents about
the price of their property going down, they say they've worked hard for their
status in life, no they're lucky, a road sweeper, refuse collector, healthcare
assistant, fruit picker or any other number of occupations I could mention will
all have worked hard and will not live in a millionaire pad. It is luck of
birth.
Mr Trump has tweeted he does not have any tapes of Mr Comey and
him speaking in private. Seems to me it may well mean he does, speaks with
forked tongue.
Friday, Mrs May has made a derisory offer to the EU on its citizens,
it also seems she blocked a full rights offer by Mr Cameron while she was Home
Secretary in the transition from his ‘poorly paid’ government job back to rich
boy banking.
Gary Haggerty, this piece of excrement will be seen as better than
a republican because if the band plays play God Save The Queen, he will stand
up and cry.
Special branch, British Government, Army all complicit.
So Glastonbury starts… Chrissie
Hynde in a Motörhead tee shirt.
Kris Kristofersson, it's not easy to forget his song catalogue, thanks
for the memories.
Radiohead on form.
Saturday, a woman called Angela Leadsom told a BBC interviewer
that broadcasters should be more patriotic, while being quizzed about her
government’s lacklustre, weak, wobbly negotiations with the EU. Sinister is the
only word to use. This is the same woman who declared Mrs May couldn't be a
good leader as she wasn't a mother (like her) well she's not a good leader but
it's nothing to do with fecundity. Seems to be an extremely unpleasant woman.
Monsieur Macron, teamed up with Governor Schwarzenegger speaking into his phone
camera, Mr Schwarzenegger said that he and Mr Macron had been "talking
about environmental issues and a green future" together.
An environmental
message for Mr Trump.
In an unrelated
but not dissimilar concept, evolution is being taken out of the education
curriculum in Turkey, because of course god made man, then formed woman from a bit
of rib, it's not just the DUP living in an ancient story book land.
Glastonbury Foo
fighters just about outplayed Mr Corbyn, it seems he had a bigger crowd though.
