The heading is "The West’s DEI Obsession is Its Own Undoing – Can Britain Break Free?" is plain enough to see, You are completely off topic! But hey don't let me spoil your ignorance!

"The UK government has formally demanded access to encrypted data stored in Apple's cloud services worldwide, a move that could significantly impact user privacy. Currently, only the account holder can access their stored data, with Apple itself unable to view the contents. " If Apple can't view the contents because its encrypted, surely the UK Government can't, so what the point?

Except the UK....maybe?

"The 23-year-old, who gained fame for her childhood beauty queen title in 2013, is accused of overstaying her visa by a mere 10 days, leading to her detainment in Pattaya." If that was it, a 10 day overstay it may seem a bit harsh , but then we learn......" Tikhomirova was previously expelled from Thailand due to legal issues before temporarily relocating to Dubai" So it's her own stupid fault!

"Mr Justice Humphreys also criticised state agencies for "perpetuating falsehoods" about the incident, as it had been described at the time as a gun battle, despite the IRA men not having fired on the soldiers" The fact that the IRA had guns, means they were prepared to use them, they didn't have a chance to fire , so it was a win win for the SAS!

It's gonna be fun and games when Musk and and his team get into the Pentagon and see all the waste they have there, its gonna be popcorn time!

You should!!🙄

Will TAT be using these pictures fro promoting Pattaya, I wonder?😇

I see the IQ level of some members is dropping!🙄

It was a significant issue! Now its not!

Some of the AID was going to help people but an awful lot was NOT like...... $1.5 million to “advance diversity equity and inclusion in Serbia’s workplaces and business communities” $70,000 for production of a “DEI musical” in Ireland $2.5 million for electric vehicles for Vietnam $47,000 for a “transgender opera” in Colombia $32,000 for a “transgender comic book” in Peru $2 million for sex changes and “LGBT activism” in Guatemala $6 million to fund tourism in Egypt Hundreds of thousands of dollars for a non-profit linked to designated terrorist organizations — even AFTER an inspector general launched an investigation Millions to EcoHealth Alliance — which was involved in research at the Wuhan lab “Hundreds of thousands of meals that went to al Qaeda-affiliated fighters in Syria” Funding to print “personalized” contraceptives birth control devices in developing countries Hundreds of millions of dollars to fund “irrigation canals, farming equipment, and even fertilizer used to support the unprecedented poppy cultivation and heroin production in Afghanistan,” benefiting the Taliban

"The accused, Hadi Matar, 27, from New Jersey, has pleaded not guilty to attempted murder. His attorney, Nathaniel Barone, admitted the difficulty of mounting a defense, given the public nature of the attack. “Almost to a person they are saying, ‘What is this guy’s defense? Everyone saw him do it!’” he told The New Yorker in 2023. " He has no defense!!

So does that mean..without the casing, powder/propellant, rim and primer??

I get that the bullet, or bullets, it doesn't say how many, are illegal, but they are they pretty useless without something to fire them from?

Correct, plus he was a Warlord and killed hundreds of people!

"As debate over the council intensifies, the government faces a difficult challenge in balancing the fight against discrimination with the preservation of free speech—a conflict that is unlikely to be resolved without controversy. " It's very sad but. free speech in the UK is a thing of the past!

Phuket seems to has some serious problems with taxis and their drivers?

Whilst i agree with your sentiment, beauty is in the eye of the beholder? Or so I am told!😊

There has to be more to this story!🙄

"“To put it bluntly, it is an insult to the British people. It shamefully opens up our borders and disgracefully allows illegal immigrants to become citizens,” Braverman said. “If you enter the UK illegally, you should be detained, deported, and banned from ever returning.” She is of course 100% correct!

If he is, he will be a muslim. are they supposed to not take 'intoxicants'??

You make a good point, the thing is most of the muslim countries, around 50, only very few are democracies, around 3. In the UK they can pretty much get away with anything, plus they get freebies!

25 million $, seems fair!

"These recommendations are outlined in a diversity, equality, and inclusion reference guide created for officers and staff across the three forces. " This is why the UK police re failing so bad, this is why the USA, in this area, is now light years ahead of the UK. If only common sense could return to UK, but alas, ALL IS LOST!

Yes, its a real shame , it wasn't always quite so far left. When Alan Rusbridger was editor it was far better, they did excellent on Edward Snowden!
