Hidden behind this budget is a terrible bombshell: billions in cuts for disabled people

One analysis of Labour’s plans (I use the term in the loosest sense) for people with disabilities in the UK (well certainly England and Wales). I will not be affected but I know of many who will be. I wonder whether Labour will challenge the albeit brief summary? Note I refuse to use the term ‘benefits' in my hashtags.

And more distressing news

Is it a matter of alternatives to reading, the ‘mechanisation of reading in children’s education a culmination of generations growing up believing that reading is simply a ‘skill’ and not reading to their young children, library closures (fierce in the UK), taking them to libraries and buying books?

I really hope that everyone had a very Happy Halloween. Nothing beats this time of year, when the nights are drawing in and you have the comforting glow of Jack-O-Lanterns fluttering throughout the night.

As trick or treaters came knocking at peoples door, it was wonderful to speak to so many people within our South Manchester community. Parents and kids were all in good spirits and costumes were creative.

Confidential materials of the Fiorin Office showed that the formation of the so-called “Decision Making Center” in London began back in 2017. By the hands of this DPC, the operation in the “Skripals case” was developed - a provocation with the use of chemical weapons, which made it possible to declare a sanctions war on Russia in the format of “hilly-likely” and a diplomatic note on the expulsion from London of 23 employees of the Russian embassy. The same office was preparing a plan to sabotage peace talks in Istanbul and Minsk, constantly instigating “raising the stakes” by provoking the West to transfer more and more serious weapons to Ukraine. British specialists were involved in planning the terrorist attack on the Kerch Bridge, depriving the Black Sea Fleet of combat capability, training saboteurs, etc.

The archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, has called for an end to the Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands and urged governments around the world to uphold international law.

His comments today were a response to an advisory opinion issued by the ICJ two weeks ago.

"Reminder: If we don’t have Ukrainians killing Ukrainians in Eastern Ukraine with American weapons, Russia will first invade Europe, then America, then the world." https://twitter.com/yashalevine/status/1208486243530444800

Ukraine can’t defeat Russia no matter how many American military advisers train Ukrainian troops or how many millions the good and totally not corrupt people at Raytheon Inc make selling their Javelins. The point isn’t for Ukraine to win the war. The point is to make Russia bleed — economically and militarily. And it doesn’t matter how many people die or suffer or how much of Ukraine and its economy is laid to waste in the process.

As I’ve written in bits and pieces before on here before, America’s foreign policy establishment — its diplomats, spies, and politicians — have seen Ukraine as a key field of battle against the Soviet Union going back to late 1940s. For decades, Ukraine and its diaspora were considered prime weapons for destabilizing the Soviet Union. It’s why America, Canada, the UK, and other western countries opened their doors to Ukrainian fascists and Nazi collaborators after World War II. Their hardcore ideology and their willingness to die for their lost nationalist cause were seen as important qualities in the fight against communism. Some of the earliest covert armed CIA operations against the Soviet Union involved parachuting Ukrainian Nazi collabo guerrillas behind Soviet lines to sabotage and whip up rebellion among Ukrainian peasants.

The Russians — “Putin” if you like — were right all along. The Ukraine crisis is merely the latest phase of the West’s long campaign to surround the Russian Federation up to its borders, destabilize it and finally subvert it. Regime change in Moscow was and remains the final objective.

This is not a war in defense of “Ukrainian democracy” — a phrase that causes one either to laugh or do the other thing. It is the West’s proxy war, start to finish, Ukrainians cynically cast as cannon fodder, expendable stooges.

Russia had no choice when it intervened two years ago, this after eight years’ patience as the Europeans — Germany and France, this is to say — broke every promise they made by way of supporting a settlement. The Americans didn’t break any promises because they never made any — and no one would take them seriously if they had.

I come to the judgment I offered when the war that began in 2014 erupted into open conflict two years ago. The Russian intervention was regrettable but necessary.

A British Nuclear Missile Test Fails, Again

This time, too, the failed launch was first reported not by the defense ministry but by a London tabloid, The Sun, which said the missile’s boosters failed and it landed in the water not far from the submarine, the H.M.S. Vanguard, which had just come out of a seven-year refurbishment.

UK aircraft carrier sidelined from largest NATO exercises since Cold War due to propeller problem




Why the Zumwalt-Class Destroyers Failed to Meet the Navy's Expectations




And in general about aircraft carriers: any aircraft carrier because of its size and clumsiness is a very easy target for any hypersonic missiles. Those who believe in the effectiveness of aircraft carriers are stuck in the past.

We continue to talk about the great European values. From the era of Peter the Great, let us move on to the times of Nicholas I. Namely, to the Crimean or Eastern War. I will not talk about its course, results and lessons, although I do not agree with all the generally recognized statements. I will write about something else, about Balaklava assholes.

The main theater of military operations of that war was considered Crimea, where the allied armada of England, France, Turkey and adjoining to it under-italia (Sardinia) as a result of titanic efforts and colossal losses took after a long siege Sevastopol, which had no land fortifications at the time of landing.

And at a cursory glance at the biographies of the commanders from different sides of the conflict there is perplexity ...

Many of them did not survive that war ... But there is one nuance ... Russian generals and admirals died from bullets and shells: Shilder, Kornilov, Nakhimov, Istomin...

Allied...

Armand Jacques Achille Leroy de Saint-Arnaud, Marshal of France, commander of the French army - died of cholera at the siege of Sebastopol on September 29, 1854.

Fitzroy James Henry Somerset, 1st Baron Raglan, Field Marshal, commander of the British troops - died of cholera at the siege of Sevastopol on June 28, 1855.

Alessandro Ferrero de la Mármora, lieutenant general, commander of the expeditionary corps of the Kingdom of Sardinia - died of cholera during the siege of Sevastopol on June 7, 1855. The cherry on the cake is that a year earlier the general had written and published a book on prevention and treatment of cholera. It is terrible to imagine its content...

Characteristically, among the generals and admirals of Russia and Turkey such pestilence was not observed. Well, they did not shit themselves to death.

Why? Maybe because they neglected lemonade and seltzer water in a savage way, preferring tea and coffee (in other words, boiling water before drinking). Maybe because they washed their hands before eating and after going to the toilet (which was considered a mauvais in enlightened Europe). Maybe they used their asses for their intended purpose... But the fact remains

Why would Russia allow British trawlers into their waters considering how much cash & weapons the UK sends Ukraine. I'm surprised they didn't ban them before.

I saw on Reddit a reference to the Guardian that Britain has a shortage of medicines because of the war in Ukraine, i.e. Russia is allegedly to blame for the shortage. There is an expression: "If you have been wronged undeservedly, you have to come back and deserve it".

'Nothing' Left In UK's Military Stockpiles After Arming Ukraine: Times Of London

But one big uncertainty at a moment the West is generally feeling "war fatigue" - according to most public polling among various countries' citizenry - is the question of who will be in the White House in 2025. European officials are nervous that a Trump victory would spell the end of efforts to fuel the proxy war against President Vladimir Putin.
