Up to three times as many sex offenders in UK as previously believed, National Crime Agency warns

Child sex offences appear to have risen during the pandemic as a result of increased online activity.
There could be as many as 850,000 child sex offenders in the UK, the National Crime Agency (NCA) has warned.

The latest figure is significantly higher than the previous estimate of 300,000, which was calculated based on the number of registered sex offenders as well as the amount of people who look at child abuse images online.

Using new methodology which includes those involved in physical abuse, the NCA now estimates that the hidden population of offenders lies somewhere between 550,000 and 850,000 people.

In its annual National Strategic Assessment, the enforcement agency said its attempts to catch paedophiles would be jeopardised if Facebook follows through with its plan to introduce end-to-end encryption for its messages.

The NCA believes this would be a mistake, citing the example of David Wilson, from Norfolk, who was jailed for 25 years for 96 sexual offences against 51 boys aged between four and 14.

Yes, really.

"Friend sent this to me. I had know idea that Tony the Tiger and the Toucan Sam were dating," tweeted Dave Rubin.


The images show the result of a collaboration between Kellogg Company and LGBT lobby group Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD), with $3 from every purchase going to the organization.

"Together With Pride cereal marks the latest chapter in a years long partnership with GLAAD and is the evolution of the much-loved All Together cereal, which previously was only available online," said Doug VanDeVelde, General Manager of Kellogg U.S. Cereal Category.

Meat-eaters rebel after Greta Thunberg says world is 'f***ed' unless we adopt plant-based diet

Greta Thunberg

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg takes part in the rally ''Europe Climate Strike'' in Brussels, Belgium, March 6, 2020.
Greta Thunberg has ratcheted up her alarmist climate change rhetoric, warning of impending doom unless everyone stops eating meat. But her latest sermon was unappetizing to many.

In a sleekly edited video, complete with punchy music, the Swedish activist argued that the Earth's ecological suffering could be greatly alleviated if humans stopped raising livestock. According to Thunberg, our "relationship" with nature desperately needs to change in order to end the alleged climate crisis - which she claimed is fueled in part by meat-eating.

"Because let's face it, if we don't change, we're f***ed," she declared.

Thunberg made the case that eating meat is no longer sustainable because of the vast natural resources it requires, and that if industrial animal farming is allowed to continue, "we will run out of land and food."

Georgia governor bans state COVID vaccine passports

Georgia Governor Brian Kemp.
Georgia governor Brian Kemp signed an executive order Tuesday banning the state government from requiring COVID vaccine passports or assisting private establishments that seek to mandate them, the governor's office said.

"Today's executive order makes clear that vaccine passports will not be utilized in state government," the Republican governor said in a written statement.

The executive order, titled "Prohibition of Covid-19 Vaccine Passports," stipulates that individuals will not need to show proof of vaccination via a passport to enter the state of Georgia. It also specifies that employers in the state should not have different policies for employees contingent on vaccination status, such as identifying badges.

Kemp is one of a number of Republican governors, such as Florida governor Ron DeSantis and South Dakota governor Kristi Noem, to outlaw COVID passports in their states over medical-privacy concerns for the individual as the Biden administration encourages mass vaccination among most age groups. Kemp's action came in the form of an executive order while DeSantis' version for Florida passed in the state legislature and was enacted into law.

New national 'report card' shows public schools are failing in one huge way

Students often face punishment from parents when they get a bad report card. But what happens when our school system gets one?

The latest national "report card" is out, and it shows that our schools are failing Americans when it comes to science education.

These most recent data come from the 2019 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) science assessment.

Just 36 percent of 4th graders were at least "proficient" in science in 2019. Meanwhile, only 35 percent of 8th graders were proficient, and, most worryingly, just 22 percent of 12th graders tested at or above a proficient level in science. These numbers are all essentially unchanged or marginally worse than the same figures in 2015, suggesting no improvement or progress has been made on this front.

These findings are more than just an embarrassment for those who run our nation's educational systems. They serve as yet another reminder that the public education system, where roughly 90 percent of students are enrolled, isn't working. Indeed, a perusal of the report card's sub-data shows that while results across the board aren't great, public school students' test scores are significantly lower than students enrolled in Catholic private schools, for one example.

Canadian soldier who called on troops to refuse vaccine distribution faces mutiny related charge

A soldier who called on his fellow military personnel to refuse helping with the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines has been charged with an offence related to mutiny.

It's believed to be the first time in decades that the Canadian military has laid such a charge.

Officer Cadet Ladislas Kenderesi was charged with one count of "endeavoring to persuade another person to join in a mutiny," an offence under the National Defence Act. Kenderesi was also charged with one count of behaving in a scandalous manner unbecoming of an officer.

The charges were laid May 12 by the Canadian Forces National Investigation Service, defence officials told this newspaper.

Kenderesi had appeared at an anti-lockdown rally in December in Toronto dressed in his Canadian Forces uniform and speaking out about the COVID-19 vaccine, claiming it was a "killer."

He called on military personnel not to be involved in government plans to distribute the vaccine. "I'm asking military, right now serving, truck drivers, medical, engineers, whatever you are, do not take this unlawful order (for) the distribution of this vaccine," Kenderesi said at the rally. A video of his speech was posted on YouTube.

Sweden sees surge in deadly shootings, blamed on 'social contagion'

FILE PHOTO: People gather at the site where a 12-year-old girl was shot dead in Botkyrka.
Sweden has gone from having one of the lowest rates of gun violence in Europe to having one of the highest, a report said on Wednesday, describing what one researcher called a "social contagion" of killings.

Sweden, with a population of 10 million, saw 42 deadly shootings in 2019, the last year with verified statistics. Preliminary figures for 2020 also showed more than 40 people were shot dead.

Of 22 European countries with comparable data that were analysed in the report from the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention (BRA), only Croatia had more gun deaths per capita over the last four years. No other country had seen as swift an increase as Sweden.

Comment: Social contagion is a very real phenomena but it would appear that the researchers are, for some reason, failing to take into account Sweden's policy of mass migration policy that's correlated with the increase in violent crime. It's also shown by the statistics that these criminal gangs involved in this crime surge are largely made up of migrants. And then there's another factor to consider, which is the deliberate attempts at stoking fear and destabilization: Also check out SOTT radio's:

200 villagers in India flee homes to avoid Covid vaccination - some jump into nearby river

Legitimate skepticism about these vaccines has become a widespread issue in some rural villages across India. Here, Indian villagers walk cattle through a market during permitted morning opening hours amid Rajasthan's ongoing lockdown on May 17, 2021 in Parli, Tonk District, Rajasthan, India.
As medical officials aim to quickly administer COVID-19 vaccines across India, residents of one village were seen fleeing their homes and jumping into a nearby river to avoid what they believed was a "poisonous injection."


Comment: It's becoming clear that there are serious side effects which could bring the vaccines in to that category.


Around 200 people in Sisoda village in Barabanki, a rural area in India's Uttar Pradesh state, fled their homes when a team of health officials arrived to launch a vaccination campaign on Saturday.

"We reached the village with a medical team to vaccinate villagers. However, as soon as they saw us approaching, many of them ran away. When we tried to stop them, they jumped in the river. We tried to sensitize them about the importance of the vaccine but they did not relent," sub-divisional magistrate (SDM) Rajiv Shukla said, according to the Times of India.


Comment: Why on earth would they 'try to stop them'? These supposed medical staff must have been pretty aggressive for the villagers to see little option but to jump in the river to evade them.


Comment: Considering the highly experimental nature of some of the vaccines and that they are totally unnecessary for the vast majority - if not all - people, as well as how the majority of vaccines on offer have been plagued with reports of severe side effects and even a surge in deaths, their reaction is probably the most reasonable we've seen thus far.

However, what with India's experience with The Gates Foundation pushing of polio vaccines that have, at times, actually led to outbreaks and a worsening of polio, as well as the dire results farmers have suffered due to Monsanto - to name but a few of the disasters brought upon them thanks to the West's 'help' - it should be no surprise that they're rightly suspicious.

Also note that it was only back in February that the Pfizer vaccine was rejected by India for not meeting its safety requirements.
