A former Welsh Tory mayor is facing a jail sentence after being convicted of raping a young girl.

David Boswell, who was the Conservative mayor of Pembroke, West Wales, was found guilty of raping a young girl.

The 56-year-old, who is still a Pembrokeshire county councillor, was also found guilty of three indecent assaults against her and another girl by a jury at Swansea Crown Court.

A "minor explosion," likely caused by a battery short circuit, triggered an evacuation at London's Southgate tube station on Tuesday evening, police said, adding that a number of people received minor injuries.

Police said a small number of people were treated at the scene. Emergency services arrived at the station just after 7pm following reports of a small explosion. Local reports suggest that one person was taken out of the station on a stretcher.

UK MP: Time for 'British renaissance', abolish the House of Lords

The eminently sensible Labour MP Frank Field has made another great call - he wants to see the unelected House of Lords abolished.

It comes after Europhile Lords decided to repeatedly vote to overrule the referendum result and push for a Customs Union with the EU and for EEA membership, which would mean open borders.

This blatant disregard for democracy has seen the public turn against the unelected House that now has very little public support.

Field is taking up the mantle for change, tweeting: "Brexit should begin a British renaissance that starts with the abolition of the House of Lords - I will present a Bill on Tuesday that seeks to replace the Lords with a new senate."

Comment: An unelected body wielding so much power and dogged by scandal is hardly the democracy of the future:

Canada legalises recreational cannabis use in a 52-29 senate vote

BBC
Wed, 20 Jun 2018 09:01 UTC

Canada's parliament has passed a law legalising the recreational use of marijuana nationwide.

The Cannabis Act passed its final hurdle on Tuesday in a 52-29 vote in the Senate. The bill controls and regulates how the drug can be grown, distributed, and sold.

Canadians will be able to buy and consume cannabis legally as early as this September.

The country is the second worldwide to legalise the drug's recreational use.

Uruguay became the first country to legalise the sale of cannabis for recreational use in December 2013, while a number of US states have also voted to permit it.

Comment: Prohibition doesn't work and has only served to criminalize otherwise law abiding people while lining the pockets of nefarious organizations:

The lies we tell ourselves about our government

"We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office."

Your average mass media pundit regularly decries the fact Americans no longer have trust in the country's institutions, yet simultaneously refuse to take any sort of responsibility for the situation. Government bureaucrats and other assorted supporters of our decrepit status quo tend to do the same thing. As is typically the case, I'll take the other side.

Not only do I think it's completely sane for Americans to have zero faith in their institutions, including but certainly not limited to the three-letter agencies, Congress and the Federal Reserve, I'll take it a step further and argue we as citizens remain far too naive and trusting for our own good. If nothing else, the recent Justice Department Inspector General's (IG) report on the FBI's investigation of Hillary Clinton's email server should underscore the point.

Jordan Peterson is showing us that identity politics is all about one thing: Coercion

It's worth checking out the YouTube video of this year's semi-annual Munk Debate held in Toronto this spring. The proposition at hand: Be it resolved, what you call political correctness, I call progress.... For the pro position: Michael Eric Dyson, sociology prof from Georgetown U, and New York Times columnist Michelle Goldberg; on the con side, Jordan Peterson, psychologist and U of Toronto prof, and Stephen Fry, British actor and screenwriter.

The debate quickly beat a path to identity politics, which make up the actual substance of PC, itself only a method of conveying the substance. PC acts as a filter for sifting out thought that doesn't conform to orthodox ideology, and for punishing those who dare to express the filtered-out ideas. So, PC only allows for a narrow range of expressed opinion on identity politics. PC is literally thought-policing. It's hard to imagine anyone being in favor of that, which is exactly why PC behavior is so odious to those of us who value free speech.

Comment: Indeed the reality hurts so much that the Left has been very busy lately impugning, misrepresenting and attacking Jordan B. Peterson in any way they can. And they seem to be coming out to do this from all corners. Take a look!

Ideological possession: Israeli lawmaker says 'Jewish race is the greatest human capital, the smartest'

Miki Zohar, member of Knesset, Likud

There are certain racist expressions that you're not supposed to use, even in Israel. One of them is referring to Jews as a "race". Even if you're speaking favorably about Jews. But a rightwing lawmaker did that the other day.

"The whole Jewish race is the greatest human capital, and the smartest and the most understanding," Miki Zohar said Wednesday. The member of Knesset for Likud was debating the Benjamin Netanyahu corruption scandals together with Haaretz journalist Dan Margalit, on the 103 FM radio station (owned by the centrist Maariv daily).

Here Miki Zohar went into unabashed race-supremacist talk about Jews. He literally referred to it as the Jewish race (not nation or people). The Hebrew term he used is "GEZA". It's the literal parallel of 'race' in English, no doubt there.

Comment: It's becoming clearer by the day that Israeli society (if you want to call it that) has gone past the point of no return in its expressions of arrogance and hubris.

Laura Bush criticizes Trump Admin. for child immigrant policy - Sarah Sanders points out law was signed by her husband

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders fired back at former First Lady Laura Bush on Monday over her recent criticisms of the current administration's "zero tolerance" policy.

Sanders pointed out how the current separation of children from their families at the border is the result of actions taken by prior administrations, specifically Bush's husband, George W. Bush.

"Frankly this law was actually signed into effect in 2008 under her husband's leadership. Not under this administration," Sanders shot back in response to Bush's recent op-ed.

"We're not the ones responsible for creating this problem. We've inherited it," Sanders continued. "But we're actually the first administration stepping up and trying to fix it."

Sorry Russophobes And Neocons, The World Cup in Russia is Off to a Flyer

The World Cup in Russia is off to a flyer, serving up a feast of football amid the special and unique atmosphere generated by this quadrennial event. Fans from every corner of the globe having been packing the stadiums, some of them custom-built, reminding us that, despite our differences, we are one human family.

However not everyone is happy. For Russophobes and neocons the success of the World Cup in Russia is something to mourn rather than celebrate, interfering as it does with their relentless demonisation of a country, in Russia, which refuses to know its place as a subaltern power, home to retrograde cultural values, relative to the West.

In fact given the intensity of anti-Russia invective that has played out in the Western mainstream media these past few years, many watching the World Cup will have been genuinely surprised to know that, yes, the sun actually shines in Russia too; and that, yes, its people are not oppressed and living in gulags.

Remember The Russian Artist Who Nailed His Nuts to Red Square? You Won't Believe What Happened to Him Next

Russia's Vesti news network has the incredible story of how an ultra-liberal star wound up sharing bunks with Muslim terrorists outside Paris

You may remember Russian performance artist Petr Pavlensky from such daring 'art' as sewing his lips shut in protest over the arrest of 'edgy' punk band Pussy Riot, cutting off his earlobe with a chef's knife while sitting naked on the roof of the Serbsky Center to protest political abuse of psychiatry in Russia, and nailing his scrotum to Red Square's cobblestone paving ("A naked artist, looking at his testicles nailed to the cobblestone is a metaphor of apathy, political indifference, and fatalism of Russian society," he said in a press statement).

Celebrated among liberal intelligentsia at home and abroad, Pavlensky's last major stunt in Russia - in 2015 - was to set an entrance to the FSB HQ on fire, an offense for which he was fined. In 2017, he fled to France with his partner and their two children after being accused of sexual assault by a Moscow actress. There he received political asylum, and was feted in Paris as a champion of freedom persecuted by Big Mad Vlad.

Until a repeat performance of the FSB stunt at an entrance to the Banque de France landed him in one of the worst prisons in Europe...
