US: 25 States “Sue” Trump Administration Over Section 301 Tariffs! (4.8.2026)

The coalition is asking the court to block the tariffs, declare them unlawful, and order refunds for the duties already paid.

The legal challenge centres on the administration’s effort to preserve Trump’s broad tariff regime after federal courts rejected two earlier versions imposed under different statutory frameworks. The states argue that federal officials seized upon Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 and forced-labour concerns merely as a pretext to rapidly recreate nearly identical global duties that the Supreme Court previously struck down in February.

“President Trump’s illegal tariffs are nothing more than a tax on hardworking families, driving up the cost of groceries, household essentials, building materials, and countless everyday goods that New Yorkers rely on,” said New York Governor Kathy Hochul in a statement.

London: Croydon LTNs Ruled “Unlawful” by High Court – Used to Boost Council Finances! (7.3.2026)

The legal challenge was spearheaded by local resident Karen Lawrence and the pressure group Open Our Roads. Following a complex legal battle that began in May 2024, Mr Justice Pepperall ruled on Wednesday (March 4) that the council had abused its statutory powers.

He found that the council’s primary motive for implementing the traffic restrictions was to raise revenue, which falls outside the lawful scope of the relevant legislation. LTNs are residential areas where through traffic is restricted by measures such as planters and cameras, in an effort to improve road safety and air quality.

The court’s decision examined Croydon Council’s broader financial position in relation to the LTNs. The judgement referenced the council’s Section 114 bankruptcy notices issued in 2020 over a projected £67 million shortfall.

UK: Local Council Sells £4.6M College Building for “£1” – then Pays Purchasing Charity “£800,000” in Rent! (14.12.2025)

When I check the morning new around 5am on a daily basis – these type of stories literally force me to howl with laughter and disturb the pets which – are not yet officially awake. The dogs start howling, the cats, start prowling, and the birds start chirping (I think they think – they are protecting me). Croydon Council recently decided to create a Disabled Parking Space using “telepathy” as a means to inform everyone living in the effected street. A man returned from a two-week holiday to find a white, rectangular box painted around his car – with the words “Disabled Parking” stencilled under it – and “four” Parking Tickets affixed to his window-screen, each representing an ever greater amount in monetary fines! If I had the time to trawl to a greater degree – I am sure far more examples would present themselves. As matters stand, Peterborough City Council sold an educational buiding worth “£4.6 million” – for just “£1” to a charity in 2020 – and then continued to pay that charity around £800,000 in rent and maintenance charges – so that the building could continue to be used by the Council for exactly the same purpose it was used for prior to the sale.

IDF Atrocities in Gaza!

UK Charity Regulator – “Unlawful” for British Charities – to Fund-Raise for Israeli Soldiers! (10.1.2025)

On Thursday, the Charity Commission issued a warning against Chabad Lubavitch Centres North East London and Essex Limited after the charity received 180 complaints for raising money for a soldier fighting for the Israeli army in northern Israel. 

In October 2023, Chabad Lubavitch Centres North East London and Essex Limited set up a fundraising page for a soldier stationed in northern Israel.

The page, which was eventually removed in January 2024, raised approximately £2.280. From that amount, Chabad sent £937 to an individual soldier. 

The trustees were unable to account for how those funds were spent. But the charity told the Charity Commission that the remaining funds were spent on non-lethal military equipment purchased by the trustees and sent to the same soldier in Israel.

DPRK: Disband the US-Controlled “United Nations Military Command” Entity – to Maintain Peace and Security on the Korean Peninsula! (13.11.2023)

On June 24th, 1994, UN Secretary-General Boutrus Galli acknowledged that “the Combined Military Command was NOT established by the UN Security Council as a subsidiary organization under its control – and was solely under the command of the United States.”

On December 21st, 1998, UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan also said of the military forces dispatched by the United States to the Korean War – or its command, “None of my predecessors gave any permission to any country to associate the name of the United States with the name of the United Nations.” Since then, several UN officials have repeatedly emphasized that “the UN Combined Command is NOT a UN organization – and is NOT under the command or control of the UN.”

The fact is that the appropriation of the designation “United Nations Military Command” by the US was only a front for its aggressive policies in the region – which remains a flagrant violation of International Law, including the UN Charter, and a shameless insult to all UN Member countries.
