bristol protest kill the bill

Avon and Somerset police have condemned scenes which saw a police station come under siege.
A chief constable whose force controversially stood by as protesters ripped down the statue of Edward Colston today insisted he had 'no intelligence' that there would be any disorder before thousands tore through Bristol in a 'night of thuggery' during a 'Kill The Bill' riot.

At least 20 officers were injured as a 'mob of animals' swarmed through the city, setting police vehicles on fire, vandalising NHS workers' cars, hurling fireworks and smashing the windows of a police station.

But Andy Marsh, chief constable of Avon and Somerset Police, claimed the event had been 'hijacked by extremists' and said there was no 'prior intelligence' that any disorder was planned 'on this scale'.

At least 4 people were killed and one other person was critically injured after an explosion at a chemical factory in an industrial area in Ratnagiri district on Saturday. If reports are to be believed, the incident took place at around 9:15 AM at the Gharda Chemicals Ltd. factory in the Lote-Parshuram MIDC complex. Several fire-tenders and firemen were rushed to the spot to rescue the labourers working there.

Around 40 other workers were rescued by the fire department staff and the police personnel following the blasts that triggered a blaze, a police official told news agency PTI.

While the injured worker was rushed to a nearby government hospital for treatment, the bodies of the four deceased were sent to a morgue for autopsy and other formalities.

The official also confirmed that the fire that erupted after the blasts has been brought under control and a cooling operation is underway.

A huge crowd of people, most of them young and without masks, paraded through the southern port city as they played music and danced. According to police estimates, the celebration attracted as many as 6,500 participants.

'Stop destroying our kids' lives!' Clashes, arrests as thousands protest against Covid lockdown in London

Police officers detain a person during a protest against Covid-19 lockdown in London, Britain March 20, 2021.
At least 33 people have been arrested for 'breaching Covid regulations' amid scuffles with riot police after thousands marched through central London in defiance of national lockdown and restrictions.

The anti-lockdown rally started as a peaceful march on Saturday afternoon, under the watchful eye of hundreds of police, but eventually turned ugly after the officers began detaining people while the protesters actively resisted and some even pelted them with bottles.


Comment: Meanwhile, in New York:
A rally held in New York City against Covid-19 measures devolved into shouting matches and scuffles as police tried to separate anti-lockdown activists and counter-demonstrators.

Several dozen people gathered at Union Square on Saturday to voice their anger over the pandemic restrictions. Some protesters were seen wearing patriotic costumes and MAGA hats as they listened to impromptu speeches by members of the crowd.

Although attendance was low when compared to coinciding rallies held in London and other cities around the world, the event led to confrontations between activists and disapproving spectators.

One clip shows two men fighting over what appears to be an American flag.

"Tell him to let it go or I'll punch," one of the individuals is heard shouting as the pair throw punches at each other.

Several police officers then intervene and separate the brawlers. After the brief skirmish, one of the men engaged in an expletive-laced argument with a woman wearing a 'Biden is not my president' shirt.


In a separate video, two pairs of men are seen wrestling on the ground. While one of the fights breaks up quickly, the other two individuals continue to brawl. Eventually, one of them is put in a headlock. Bystanders then pull the men apart. It's unclear if the fights resulted in arrests.

Jumping to the bizarre, media reports are beginning to talk about global famine, endless inflation and lives being upset from food scarcity in all except exporting nations. I have a few solutions for that in self sufficiency which may help the thought process.


Comment: Global food prices continue to rise, climate shocks, lockdowns and low reserves partly to blame

mexico murder

Three Mexican law enforcement agents were left lying next to their pickup truck after they were ambushed by alleged members of La Familia Michoacana on Thursday in a series of attacks that left 13 police officers dead
Gunmen killed at least 13 Mexican police in an ambush a short distance outside the capital on Thursday, local authorities said, in one of the worst mass slayings of security forces to rock the country in recent years.

Photos of the grisly scene circulated on social media showing a bullet-riddled police car and an unmarked truck, along with officers' bodies scattered out along the street or still inside the car.

The convoy of security personnel was attacked in broad daylight by suspected gang members in the Llano Grande area in the municipality of Coatepec Harinas as it patrolled the area, said Rodrigo Martinez-Celis, security minister for the State of Mexico.

How woke whites are turning minorities into Republican voters

Republicans benefit from disenfranchised and would-be Democrats
Upper-class whites have alienated African Americans and Hispanics from the Democratic coalition. That's why Democrats have gone berserk — they're expecting to lose in 2022 and 2024.

In the middle of their legislative orgy of socialistic giveaways and identity politics, Democrats might want to contemplate that their political priorities do not command the support of a majority of American voters. Moreover, the warnings on this front do not come from the right — they come from leftists themselves.

When an editorial columnist from the bastion of liberalism, The New York Times, writes that "Democrats are worried — very worried — about the future of the Hispanic vote," you know something's up. As it turns out, the radicalized "woke" among upper-class whites have done a good job alienating both African Americans and Hispanics from the Democratic coalition.

Comment: Democrats want to make more states? This could entail a form of large-scale gerrymandering, that normally refers to redrawing congressional districts to the advantage of the political party that controls the State's legislature. They might split states, such as California, or offer statehood to offshore territories in order to create new political turf. In the end, people will gravitate to their best advantage and it might not be Democratic.

Bill Gates
Microsoft founder Bill Gates brushed away "crazy" conspiracy theories about himself, 5G and coronavirus vaccines during an 'Ask Me Anything' session on Reddit, where he promoted his new book and sung the praises of synthetic meat.

Gates fielded questions from Redditors during the online Q&A on Friday, doing his best to hawk his latest volume on climate change in the process. However, it didn't take long before netizens pressed him on conspiracy-minded allegations that he is involved in a shadowy plot to implant microchips in unwitting vaccine recipients.

"I am innocent!" Gates protested, adding "The whole thing about 5G and microchips is pretty crazy. Why would I want to do that?"

Gates later said "fake news" and "disinformation" online is a "huge issue," observing that "Some false information is more interesting than the truth so digital channels seem to magnify echo chambers with bad facts."

Comment: Global warming? Brrrr! Global population up to ten billion people? Perhaps not.
