He is quite possibly in HMP Whatton, a specialist prison for sex offenders. The majority of inmates are older men. Its a Cat C prison, which does include men due for release. The bigger concern will likely be him coming into contact with men being released, and somehow influence them. At his trial, while he plead guilty to half of the charges, e expressed no remorse, and even suggested his victims enjoyed it. The BBC have a documentary on him right now. The police used a free app, Pimeyes, to identify him in Thailand. What they did then after they identified him is not clear. Pimeyes is not officially cleared to use as a forensic tool for the police, and the Met Police are now blocked from using it. I suspect they could not use that tool in any extradition request, so I suppose the next step would have been for officers to visit "Peter Smith" in Phuket, but that would have taken years. I doubt that Polish App could even have been used to put in an application to cancel his passport. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c33zee04824

So son of a Commie. A sleeper. I think you can claim your Russian citizenship, and serve the Motherland like your old man did. They have black Russians there. Mum was Cuban, Angolan, North Korean, Vietnamese, Syrian?

The reason is less complicated. It was a branding exercise to win votes/ When WW1 ended, Hitler remained in the army. He had no prospects, and needed the money. The army employed him to infiltrate and monitor the German Worker's Party, which was an anti-Capitalist, anti-Marxist, Nationalist Party. Hitler found sympathies with these ideas, except for the anti-capitalism bit. With the permission of his handlers, he joined the party, and rose through its ranks. When the party meetings in beer Halls actually started attracting decent numbers, the leadership, which included Hitler, discussed a name change, to reach a greater proportion of the population. Now you get into the febrile nature of Weimar politics. Hitler wanted to rename the party the Social Revolutionary Party but it was Rudolf Jung who pushed for the case of nicking a name from an Austrian Party, German National Socialist Workers' Party, and eventually settled on National Socialist Germany Workers Party. The Nazis were literally not socialist.

No its not. Its about VE Day. The OP included a huge graphic with the Union Flag. I know you are a troll who likes to hijack threads with depressing regularity, to twist the discussion to fit with your own narrow view of the world. VE Day means a lot of things. Literally, it marks the surrender of the German Armed Forces. Antisemitism didn't start with WW2 and didn't end with WW2. Its a prejudice long engrained in European and xerox European societies. Its not the preserve of the Right or the Left. Before WW2, the British Labour Party was known as the Zionist Party, and this position was cemented by Nye Bevin and Michael Foot, but you probably don't know who they were nor care. They were socialist. I tell you who else was a socialist; the first Prime Minister of Israel, David Ben Gurion. So was Golda Meir, Yitzhak Rabin, Shimon Peres, Ehud Barak. So don't you dare suggest that socialism is incompatible with being a Jew or a Zionist. To suggest so marks you as an anti-semite.

Why aren't you serving your country? Mobilisation covers your demographic.

Classic Communist deflection. This is what the Soviets always did; they invented "Whataboutism". I seriously doubt you have a clue, Comrade. You are a Russian evading military service, spouting off on a forum about Thailand, probably hiding in Thailand, hoping your government doesn't find you and drag you to the front. At least, that's the character you portray. You could be a one legged Anglo-Congolese lesbian transwoman. Sitting in your mum's basement in Ohio.

Poundshop Ivanka.

Nah, you probably don't want that channel to be in your cache. Your government might send you to the Gulag, or the frontline, for watching such a thing of a Russian asking Russian people candid questions.. BTW, when are you booked to go down to the recruitment office?

This sounds somewhat dystopian. So where do the doctors, scientists, artists etc come from? This is basically the vision Aldous Huxley in "Brave New World". But of course, he might have just ripped up something more recent like The Hunger Games/Divergent/Elysium. No surprise this is something Musk thinks about a lot. His maternal grandfather was a leading proponant in Canada of "Technocracy"; the idea that you put experts in charge, and therefore, you don't need elections. Grandad Haldeman, after a short time in jail because he might have been a bit pro-Nazi during WW2, didn't do well in Canadian elections, and instead, took his entire family to South Africa in 1948, roundly praising the new race separation laws being introduced there. America had this reputation for social mobility. This goes against that.

Its fairly extraordinary for Leaders of the Opposition to lose their seats. First Canada, now Australia. To be fair, it sounds like Dutton was a reluctant representative for his seat anyhow.

"Tom100" is a bit harsh on Robert Salesses; he was only in the job 5 days.

Fake Russian. Real Russians:

I'm not sure the Vice President, looking at the quizzical expression that crossed his face, really agreed with the Attorney General's representation of LD50 for fentanyl. The actual value in humans is unknown, so the estimates are derived variously for values determined in rats (3.1mg/kg) and primates (0.03mg/kg), an extraordinary wide range. Even so, her claim is risible. She refers to 3.4 tonnes being seize, without reference the purity (is this crude or refined). The National Center for Drug Abuse sets the lethal dose as 2mg, so some quick maths indicates that 3.4 tonnes represents 1.7 billion lives. This repeats similar claims from January https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/02/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-imposes-tariffs-on-imports-from-canada-mexico-and-china/ This is how the DOJ came up with the 258 million number: https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2025/05/trump-news-doj-fentanyl-pam-bondi-lives-saved.html Its interesting in the same cabinet presentation, while Bondi claimed that every 2 milligrams of crude fentanyl seized is a life saved, in the same breathm when referring to 641,000 rounds of ammunition being seized, that 651,000 Americans saved. But this is an Attorney General indulging in political rhetoric; the objective is to create fear among the American people in a selective manner. During the President's first administration, they tried to get fentanyl classified as a "weapon of mass destruction". It creates hysteria, and ultimately undermines the good work that is being done. We know how political spin completely undermined public support for the invasion of Iraq, by linking WMDs to 45 minutes; a genuine and well grounded intelligence assessment of Iraq's capabilities was spun into some frightening sounding numbers in order to shore up public support for the policy. But it backfired. I know those in the Servives who were exasperated by this. The claim that 258 million lives were saved further collapses if you ask how much fentanyl got through. In 2024, 10 tonnes of fentanyl were seized. Its not clear if this means 10 tonnes of material containing fentanyl, or 10 tonnes of fentanyl, maybe at 99%w/v. The DEA says what is seized is typically 10% w/v. So it will need further refinement once inside the US, before becoming a product. There will be a wastage rate, and I wouldn't like to guess what that would be in the typical kitchen-based drugs lab (which I have toured in the UK; disgusting looking places, and the police have to treat some of them as potential chemical weapons labs). Heisenberg was a TV fiction; there isn't a high schoo; chemistry teacher out there achieving high yields in a trailer. https://www.cfr.org/article/how-does-fentanyl-reach-united-states https://www.dea.gov/sites/default/files/2020-03/DEA_GOV_DIR-008-20 Fentanyl Flow in the United States_0.pdf It seems difficult to actually determine how much fentanyl gets into the US each year, only what the seizures are. Its reasonable to assume that most evades border interdiction. Which renders the 258 million claim even more meaningless, because if the amount seized in a few months is, generously, 50% of whats coming in, then by the end of the fiscal year. America is a lifeless wasteland. Everyone dead. Various estimates are given about the number of fentanyl deaths that occur. For simplicity, call it 100,000 per year (the number is acutally a bit lower). If 3400 tonnes of fentanyl will kill 256 million people, than those 100,000 were killed by 13 grams of the stuff. The reality is the AG is talking apples and oranges, and either doesn't understand the press releases from the DOJ or is being disengenousl during the DPRK-style cabinet meeting. In reality, what is seized is laced with fentanyl. and that might be a deliberate move by the smugglers to evade detection. Fentanyl is a precursor; inside the US< in the drug labs, it is further refined into a product sold on the street. The yields are likely very low, because, for the most part, these are professional labs with professional equipment. Border siezures can be interpreted as being either mre successful interdiction, or much more is coming in/ Most people using fentanyl-containing drugs do not die. The ones that die have overdosed. Fentanyl deaths is the only reliable measure of the success of border activities. To accurately measure those deaths takes a lot of collaboration between law enforcement, healthcare, and community groups, given that a significant portion of deaths may evade detection by the regular health authorities. But HHS cuts will likely impact that. So, there is a lack of joined up thinking. Or, more probably, just like stoking fear in people about 45 minute WMDs or 258 million deaths, its just theatre.

A deliberate misrepresentation of the media. The clips most commonly circulated show her speaking for between 3:50 and 3:59 minutes. I expect you to issue a retraction covering your error.

I wouldn't bother with this individual. He or she is constantly posting in support of Putin's genocidal war that includes rape as a weapon. Odious individual.

The fireworks would have been sourced pre-tariffs, or at least orders placed. I assume the supply contracts from the US government would have included force majeure covering tariffs. Smaller 4th July events in 2025 are likely to be impacted by increased costs, or even shortages. Larger, public, events less so. Typically, orders for fireworks for retailers major events, are placed 12 months before. At the moment the US 250th Birthday in 2026 may well be impacted, and some events may have to switch to alternative displays. https://www.americanpyro.com/assets/2025/2025Advisories/APA - NFA April 2025 Letter Post Tariff 4.3.25.pdf https://news.wgcu.org/culture-and-connections/2025-04-14/fireworks-for-2025-likely-wont-fizzle-from-145-percent-tariff-on-china-but-wait-until-next-year

I believe the shipment was symbolic, in the week that Europe delivered 6 million shells, and the UK developed a new artillery shell propellant, whch replaces nitrocellulose and nitroglycerine; significant because both these materials are in short supply globally, and Europe was largely dependant US supplies. The deal assures Ukraine's financial future, and, in principle, allows it to finance its own defence, rather than being dependent on the fickle largesse of Western powers. Economically, Russia is kaput. Its kleptocratic government has financed the war through debt that it can't pay back. If you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas. The recent US announcement on talks is also an attempt to exert pressure on Russia. Ukraine is free to buy arms on a lend lease basis now. And the difference is rather than before getting whatever they can, now they can buy what they need. In the Vietnam War, there were apothrical tails of disillusioned troops "fragging" their officers. In Russia, the officers frag their own men. https://militarnyi.com/en/news/russian-officer-kills-three-own-soldiers-with-grenade-in-donbas/ The Russian Army has changed from a military with a substantive professional core, to a largely reluctant citizen army interspersed with convicts

The parade will actually be the 250th Anniversary of the US Army. His birthday is coincidental https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy9vzrxxjdwo Scrapping Memorial day, replacing with 2 days dedicated only to WW1 and WW2. Korean War, Vietnam War, Gulf War 1/2, Afghanistan veterans didn't win enough I suppose. His statement pointedly insults the dead of the British Commonwealth, France, the Netherlands, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Norway, and many other nations, and trivialises their sacrifice. An ignorant man, grandson of a coward.

Not the same political system. Judging from your avatar you are a Seppo.

I remember it was much the same talk about the SDP. At least that was a Gang of Four. Reform is still a One Man Band.
