Clipped from : https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/07/07/karen-meme-proof-elitism-racism-sexism-now-hallmarks-woke-crowd/ The sneering tone of those who deploy it reveals prejudice far more insidious than that demonstrated by any middle-aged mum Are you a Karen? If, like me, you’re a middle-aged, white woman with blonde-bobbed hair, then it is highly likely you are. And if, when things don’t go your way, you loudly demand to speak with the manager, then you are definitely a Karen. But a far more important question, at least according to the BBC, is: "How can white women not be Karens?"  Believe me, no woman wants to be a Karen. Karen is 2020’s go-to insult. It denotes a woman (and it is always a woman!) who is ignorant, bossy, insensitive, vulgar and uncouth. Karen is more likely to be spotted in a supermarket or cheering on her son’s football team than at a Black Lives Matter demonstration or a Pride rally. She is not only racist and bigoted but, worse stil...

Clipped from : https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/jun/02/george-floyd-protests-people-killed One man was a retired St Louis police captain checking on his friend’s shop. Another was the beloved owner of a Louisville barbecue restaurant who provided free meals to officers. Yet another was a man known as “Mr Indianapolis”, a former star football player. They are among those killed as protests have roiled American cities in the week since the death of George Floyd . Many of the people killed were African Americans, compounding the tragedy for black communities. The death toll and circumstances of the killings are still being sorted out in many cities, but here is what we know so far: St Louis, Missouri A 77-year-old retired St Louis police captain who served 38 years on the force was shot and killed by looters at a pawn shop early Tuesday, authorities said. David Dorn was found dead on the sidewalk in front of the ransacked store. No one has been arrested. Dorn w...

The spying game: China's global network - BBC News The latest controversy to swirl around the Chinese telecoms company Huawei has shone a spotlight on the murky world of Chinese espionage, agent-recruitment and an ambitious programme of extending its influence across the globe. So how extensive is it, how does it work and who runs it? A dossier reportedly compiled with the help of a former MI6 spy has accused China of trying to manipulate key UK figures, including politicians, to back the telecom giant's business in Britain. Every major Chinese enterprise anywhere in the world allegedly has an internal "cell" answerable to the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to drive the political agenda and ensure that the company is compliant with political directives. This is why China experts assert that the CCP does operate here in Britain, often under the natural cover of business. "The Party machine is everywhere", says one, adding: "For China, busin...

Shame on the Labour MPs who accuse Priti Patel of 'gaslighting' - a racist term for BANMJE preoplke who don't toe the line...

We've all watched the Bianca Williams 'stop and search' and the hysterical reaction from her and her boyfriend.  And hysterical reporting.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-53375777 But why are the police now talking about 'learning' from  the incident, when their own body-cams and on-the-stop report showed: A car with blacked-out windows refusing to stop Speeding on the wrong side of the road Driver refused to get out of the car And, when eventually pulled over, screaming, confrontational occupants? As a FB commentator wrote, "A vehicle with blacked out windows made off at speed from the officers, travelling the wrong side of the road. The officers eventually caught up with the vehicle which was stopped in Lanhill Road, W9. The driver initially refused to get out of the vehicle - context is key. Yet all she will try is the Race card because guess what she is oppressed get a grip FFS , well done to those officers" Shame on Linford Christie for ...

BBC Why does Nicola Sturgeon get such an easy ride over bigoted supporters? Clipped from : https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2020/07/07/nicola-sturgeon-not-expected-much-everyone-else-condemn-bigoted/ Keir Starmer is held accountable for his colleagues' controversial statements, but the SNP leader seems to be allowed to duck responsibility It hardly needs restating that Twitter has been a bane and a boon for politicians, mostly the former. Yesterday Keir Starmer came under pressure to do more than apply a slap on the wrist to frontbencher Steve Reed after the latter was accused of perpetrating an anti-Semitic trope in a Tweet criticising property developer Richard Desmond. This was barely a week after the Labour leader sacked his former leadership rival, Rebecca Long-Bailey, for tweeting a celebrity interview containing an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory and then refusing to delete it when asked by Starmer’s office. Reed has managed to keep his job because he deleted...
