Interesting episodes of crime and missing people – perhaps be can solve the mysteries together?
Rohit Uniyal has been remanded in custody after being charged in connection with the vandalism of a parked vehicle in Swieqi.
I have always stood by the same principle: whoever is charged before the courts for wrongdoing should be named and shamed, regardless of their nationality, background or status.
I’ve been told by some that he is a different person when not under the influence of alcohol. Whether that is true or not, alcohol is never an excuse for damaging someone else’…
Although PA is said to support Socialism – it has lost ground amongst ordinary Palestinian people due to its perceived and actual cooperation with Israeli Forces. As it conforms to Israeli dominance – PA is seen as being privileged by the West. This has led to widespread campaigns of non-tax paying across Palestine – and other civil disobedience campaigns. The US and Israel simply diverts funds to PA to prevent it from collapsing. It is a shame as PA, instead of following a neutral position – has actually adopted an antagonistic stance toward Hamas – and to be quite frank – comes across as completely compromised at times. Historically, of course, Socialist movements have resorted to armed conflict – so the position of PA is peculiar to say the least. Even if PA disagrees with Islamic-inspired militancy – it does not have to disagree with armed self-defence in principle. As matters stand, the US-backed Israeli Forces routinely break International Law – committing war crimes and crimes against humanity. As the UN has ruled – Israel is committing “genocide” in Gaza and it is doing this in-part by deliberately targeting Palestinian school-children.
And Zara says her autistic daughter Hannah, who has hearing difficulties and attends Ilfracombe Academy, was repeatedly removed from class because her needs were not recognised.
“Behaviour is just put down to persistent defiance and bad behaviour, and they’re punished for it,” she says. “It’s never recognised as being linked to their disabilities.”
Athena told us that children with special educational needs are “not routinely sanctioned for behaviours associated with their needs”.
A lot of the anger we heard in Devon and Cornwall is, we were told, down to the lack of accountability.
Academy trusts do not have any supervision from local councils, meaning only central government can intervene.
One of the biggest weaknesses of the trust system is that it complicates the complaints process, says education journalist Laura McInerney, who co-founded Teacher Tapp, an app designed to track educators’ wellbeing, classroom practices, and opinions on education policy.
If parents are not satisfied with a specific school’s response, she says, they have to contact the trust, which could be miles way, and which “you may or may not hear from in anything other than a letter”.
The government says parents can take complaints about academy trusts to the Department for Education.
Across England, there is growing concern about punitive disciplinary practices in schools.
If you watch, read, or listen, to Terry Nation’s “Survivors” (1975) – you will see civilisation suddenly collapse due to a type of flu that is spread around the world via jet-liners (international travelling being a relatively new phenomena for the masses at the time). The USSR existed then and the US was engaged in a “Cold War” with it at the time (it turns out that illnesses are no respecter of political ideology). The US laughably believed that the Soviets possessed a “weather-altering machine” and would use it to usher-in a new ice-age. To this end, the US government ordered the British government (something of a US lap-dog at the time) to put-out the false propaganda that an “ice-age” was coming! The BBC made disinforming series about this whilst academics happily conformed despite all the data denying this assertion. This was the fake climate change argument of the day – and individuals lost their career when denying it.
Around 20-years later, Starmer would order the quick round-up of 10,000 Brazilians in the UK for deportation – whilst illegally taking the British Citizenship of the children (so that entire families could be deported with no legal or moral issues resulting. To be clear, the Brazilians have done nothing wrong in the UK, and are here in relatively few numbers – and yet the British State has targetted this group whilst ignoring the groups that have caused trouble. Bear in-mind that the SDS came into being one year after the “Summer of Love” in 1968 – and was instigated by an incumbent Labour Party. It existed and weaved its evil webs throughout the UK until 2010 (between 2008-2010 it seems to have had a name-change to “National Public Order Intelligence Unit”) – and the election of a far-right Tory-LibDems Coalition (although it was during the outgoing of Labour Prime Minister of – Gordon Brown – that it ceased operations after years of complaints). I suspect groups like the Maoist Workers’ Institute were subject to its machinations over the years – machinations that are now considered both illegal and immoral. My views about the Guardian Newspaper remain unchanged. Stop lying about Neo-Nazi Ukraine and the Israeli Genocide and re-orientate your political compass firmly back toward the left.
Years later, I learned that at least Republics of the USSR were “Buddhist” and of various ethnicities (including “Tibetan”). More to the point, the 1936 Soviet Constitution guaranteed racial equality for a) everyone born in the USSR, and b) for everyone visiting the USSR. Even today, I am often mistaken for “Russian” of the Soviet-era – as this explains my “Chinese” partner. This often happens in and around the Soviet War Memorial in London. Modern Russian people, at least those in the pay of the US, should stop lying about the glorious past that is the USSR. It was – and still remains – the US (not Russia or the USSR) that is the most racist country on earth. Even their Black President Obama instigated Neo-Nazism in Ukraine – destroying the Slavic people both sides of the divide. I wish young Russians would think about what they are writing – about the false narratives they are buying into. This is why I have carried-out a lot of translation work for the Communist Parties of Lugansk and Donetsk – as that is my ideological doorway into modern Russia. Of course, I am not Russian – and do not pretend to be. I am a Sinotised Celt – and that’s about it. I value historical truth other disinformation. The world could learn much under a USSR under Lenin and Stalin. After-all, 41 million Soviets were killed and wounded assisting the UK as allies during WWII.
