Vegans and Just Stop Oil eco-zealots join forces to bring central London to a standstill by pouring MILK all over the roads and covering shopfronts with paint

Vegans and Just Stop Oil eco-zealots have joined forces to bring central London to a standstill by pouring milk all over the roads and covering shopfronts with paint.

Protesters from the groups, offshoots of Extinction Rebellion, blocked roads and bridges in the capital this afternoon in order to highlight their demand that the government stops new oil and gas projects.

Members of the environmental protest groups Animal Rebellion and Just Stop Oil poured milk on Regent Street and St James’s Street as they marched through central London.

‘I thought my boyfriend of 10 years was going to propose – then he told me he was trans’

It was 3am and I’d had a lot to drink; two reasons why I was pressing my boyfriend of 10 years on why he hadn’t yet proposed. We were strong and happy, and loved each other madly, so his reticence seemed ludicrous to me when sober, let alone drunk. I suspect it was my ceaseless questioning that ultimately blew a fuse in his brain, because that’s when he told me his secret.

He strung you along for ten years, be grateful it’s done.

Crimea bridge: Russia says three killed by explosion

A huge blast on Russia’s bridge to Crimea, the Ukrainian peninsula it annexed in 2014, has killed three people, investigators say.

The victims were in a nearby car when a lorry blew up, the Russian investigators said, bringing down sections of the bridge’s roadway.

Russia says the railway part of the bridge – where oil tankers caught fire – will reopen on Saturday.

They also claim road traffic will begin on an undamaged lane this evening.

Self-driving vehicles will be a boon to terrorists.

Trudeau government makes cynical change of mind on Iran’s Mullahcracy after Poilievre’s embrace of women’s revolt

Justin Trudeau – Islam’s whore.

My headline is more accurate than the CBC’s – “Stung by criticism, Trudeau government changes course on Iran”

This week saw a turnaround in the Trudeau government’s approach to Iran as an unprecedented revolt against clerical rule that began three weeks ago showed no sign of slowing down.

The change began in Dartmouth, N.S., on Tuesday, where Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said his government would be taking stronger actions against members of the Iranian regime, “including ensuring that we go after them for any assets or homes that they have in Canada.”

Back in Ottawa, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland and Transport Minister Omar Alghabra attended a rally marking a thousand days since the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) shot down Flight PS752, killing 55 Canadians and another 30 permanent residents.

Cynical defense of Hunter Biden: I was addicted to drugs

Hunter Biden Animal Abuse

For years, President Biden repeated the same mantra when asked about Hunter Biden’s influence peddling and alleged crimes: “My son did nothing wrong.” It was always implausible — as was his denial of any knowledge of these dealings despite emails and pictures to the contrary.

So the president and the press have been shifting to a new defense. As the father recently insisted of his son, “He fought an addiction problem. He overcame it. He wrote about it.”

Jason Kenney raises concerns, warns ‘populism with a snarl’ not conservatism

After 25 years in federal and provincial conservative politics, outgoing Alberta Premier Jason Kenney says he concerned about certain elements that appear to be taking over along the right of the political spectrum.

Pointing to the works of traditional conservative philosopher Roger Scruton, Kenney said an important tenet of conservative politics is recognizing the “prosperous and free society” handed down by past generations and being a custodian for future generations.

Public Safety Minister Evades Responding to Questions About Reports of Unofficial Chinese Police Stations in Canada

Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino gave no response when pressed by Conservative MP Michael Chong on what the Liberal government is going to do regarding allegations that communist China is operating unofficial overseas police stations on Canadian soil.

“The government’s priorities are descending into farce,” Chong said during question period in the House of Commons on Sept. 6.

“They won’t allow U.S. officers into Canada to reopen Nexus offices even though we have an agreement and the United States is an ally. Meanwhile, Iranian officers freely come to this country to intimidate Canadians because [the government] won’t list the IRGC [Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps], and now we find out that police officers from the People’s Republic of China are operating out of three offices illegally open in Canada, intimidating Canadians.

Uvalde schools suspend entire police force after outrage

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Uvalde’s school district suspended its entire police force Friday amid fresh outrage over the hesitant law enforcement response to the gunman who massacred 21 people at Robb Elementary School.

The extraordinary move follows the revelation that the district hired a former state trooper who was among hundreds of officers who rushed to the scene of the May 24 shooting.

School leaders also put two members of the district police department on administrative leave, one of whom chose to retire instead, according to a statement released by the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District. Remaining officers will be reassigned to other jobs in the district.

As Ukraine war falters, Russians ask a risky question: Could Putin fall?

When President Vladimir Putin yelled, “We will win!” at a Red Square concert to celebrate his illegal annexation of Ukrainian lands on Friday, he projected the hubris of a man who cannot accept defeat.

Putin has said Russia will not lose in Ukraine. But multiple battlefield defeats and national fury over a botched military mobilization have broken a taboo in Moscow on discussions about what would happen if Putin did lose — not just the war, but his seeming bid to be leader-for-life, according to four members of Russia’s business elite. Kremlin-watchers, in and out of the capital, are asking: Who might come next?
