Britons could potentially sue the Government for billions of pounds in compensation for 'falsely imprisoning' the nation with its Stay At Home order at the outbreak of coronavirus in March, a law lecturer has predicted.

Dr Jonathan Morgan, director of law at Corpus Christi College in Cambridge, said a class action against the Government was 'unprecedented' - but added that so was the lockdown itself.

In a blog post published yesterday he wrote:
'Could the regulations' invalidity expose the Government to mass liability — to the entire UK population — for the tort of false imprisonment? Thus stated, the proposition seems highly unlikely. It would certainly be unprecedented. But perhaps that is because a pre-emptive quarantine of the entire population is also unprecedented. It is worth thinking about a hypothetical claim.'

Comment: This is the Einstein-attributed definition of insanity...only worse. Suing the government may get their attention. Jail sentences - as in their own personal lockup for the lockdown - would also work. Oh heck...do both!

House Dems in marathon call squabble over how they lost seats amid projections of Blue Wave

House Democrats are squabbling over their disappointing results in Tuesday's elections in which Republicans unexpectedly cut into their majority.

Members during a three-hour conference call Thursday accused House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's leadership team of numerous missteps including what they considered poor voter messaging and strategy, including too little grassroots campaigning.

They also lamented about Republicans this election cycle having won over many Hispanic and black voters - particularly in Texas and in Florida, in which Democrats lost two House seats in the once-reliable Miami-Dade area, according to news gathering agencies that had access to the details of the conversations in the call.

Among the biggest concerns, some of the lawmakers said, was failing to pass a second, major coronavirus stimulus package, with election-year politics having stalled negotiations between Pelosi and the White House.

Others said Republicans had successfully tagged incumbents as "socialists," as a result of some the caucus's most liberal members having supported calls to "defund" police departments following the May 25 death of George Floyd while in Minneapolis police custody.

Comment: It's interesting how the House lost Democrats and gained Republicans if Trump truly lost the election - considering these two outcomes should be relative/parallel to each other's results. Dems are eating their own.

Britain died for me this week. It's become a Covid-obsessed police state, and I don't understand what it stands for anymore

London, Britain • November 5, 2020
I've always been proud to say I'm British - until now. The authorities' bloody-minded determination to implement lockdown rules at the expense of people's wellbeing is not what our great country should be about.

Sometimes you can be too close. You are looking, but you don't see it. That's where I found myself this week with the current state of Britain, amid another round of ever tighter restrictions caused by the pandemic.

Don't get me wrong. There are loads of things I've always loved about my country - our traditional British good manners for example. Rather than see it as a sign of weakness, I pride myself on our reputation for queuing in an orderly fashion. I also like that we hold the door open for the person behind us.

I admire our outstanding National Health Service, which allows everyone to access medical treatment without having to dig out a credit card or an insurance plan. And I enjoy flying British Airways over far-flung lands, offering me some form of attachment - even if it is superficial.

I won't apologise for tea being regarded as the boring and bland equivalent to freshly ground coffee - it's our drink, and I love it. And the way we honour our war heroes with the humble poppy is thoroughly respectful.

But this week, some of that pride in being British died for me. It's a very different sentiment I'm feeling. Beyond disillusionment. Fury even. How could Britain have fallen so far in the way it treats its own people?

Horrific rise in cases of baby abuse is the hidden cost of lockdown that we simply cannot ignore

New figures show injuries to infants because of abuse or neglect have increased dramatically during the pandemic. As England enters a second lockdown, this is a stark reminder that society's most vulnerable are being hit hardest.

There is nothing more heartbreaking in our society than the death of an infant by abuse. And yet the incidence of this, both deliberate and accidental, is on the increase in England, a direct result of the terrible impact of the coronavirus pandemic and the subsequent double lockdowns on vulnerable families.

While Chancellor Rishi Sunak paints a picture with the government's furlough scheme of households where reliably industrious parents are managing to work from home, attend Zoom conferences, cook, clean, referee disputes between bickering and sometimes bored offspring and generally enjoy a happy life, the reality for some could not be more different. Lockdown becomes a living hell for those families already in difficulty.

Comment: The toll of the lockdowns are manifold, and governments throughout the West continue to reimpose them despite their own numbers showing the destruction they are causing; and we can expect the situation to get even worse because the full impact of the lockdowns has yet to even be felt: UK gov figures show 75,000 could die because of lockdown, excess deaths are already soaring

The three new suspects are accused of "criminal terrorist conspiracy," according to judicial sources. Ten people have now been charged in connection with the murder of teacher Samuel Paty last month.

Two 18-year-old men and a 17-year-old girl were charged Friday with "criminal terrorist conspiracy" in the murder of French history teacher Samuel Paty, a judicial source told news agency AFP.

Paty, 47, was decapitated last month in the Paris suburb of Conflans-Sainte-Honorine after showing cartoons of Prophet Muhammad during a class discussion on freedom of speech. He was murdered by 18-year-old Abdullakh Anzorov, who was shot dead by police.

Flashback Best of the Web: Confessions of voter fraud: 'I was a master at fixing mail-in ballots' - Top Democrat operative

voter ballot box
A top Democratic operative says voter fraud, especially with mail-in ballots, is no myth. And he knows this because he's been doing it, on a grand scale, for decades.

Mail-in ballots have become the latest flashpoint in the 2020 elections. While President Trump and the GOP warn of widespread manipulation of the absentee vote that will swell with COVID polling restrictions, many Democrats and their media allies have dismissed such concerns as unfounded.

But the political insider, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he fears prosecution, said fraud is more the rule than the exception. His dirty work has taken him through the weeds of municipal and federal elections in Paterson, Atlantic City, Camden, Newark, Hoboken and Hudson County and his fingerprints can be found in local legislative, mayoral and congressional races across the Garden State. Some of the biggest names and highest office holders in New Jersey have benefited from his tricks, according to campaign records The Post reviewed.

A study of Russian-Americans has made clear the shocking extent of Russophobia in the US, today. The news comes after the Kremlin warned that attacks on the country were defining this week's American presidential election.

The report, published by the political lobby group Ru-PAC, found that more than 44 per cent of US-based Russians surveyed had faced discrimination on the basis of their nationality.

Around one in four reported having felt they had to hide their background. The way Russia is portrayed in the media appeared to be a cause of this, with almost 64 per cent of those responding saying coverage was "unfair."

People without face masks pack the streets in a crowded Broadway Market this afternoon, as the second national lockdown continues
Britons flouted lockdown in their hundreds of thousands in London today as a market was packed with visitors helping themselves to takeaway beer on the first weekend of new coronavirus lockdown restrictions.

Londoners flocked to Broadway Market for drinks and food this afternoon, despite the new guidance to stay at home as much as possible.

People were pictured queuing up for pints outside street food restaurants and packing the streets, with many not wearing face masks.


Comment: In England, unlike other countries in Europe, face masks are not mandatory outside.


Takeaway alcohol were originally going to be banned under the new lockdown restrictions but a Government U-turn allowed pubs, bars and hospitality venues to serve them.

Report: Wisconsin election clerks may have illegally altered thousands of ballots

Poll workers in Wisconsin may have unlawfully altered thousands of mail-in ballots due to unlawful guidance from the state's election commission, according to a report.

According to Wisconsin law, an absentee ballot requires that it be signed by a witness who also lists his or her address. Should the ballot not contain the a witness address, the ballot is disallowed and must be returned to the voter so that the witness can provide that information.

However, according to a report from the "Dan O'Donnell Show," sources claim that "clerks and vote counters" in the state wrote in the witness signatures themselves. Furthermore, the report claims that the election workers chose to write in the addresses because they were illegally advised to do so by the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC).
