There is a problem with white British men sexually abusing women and children in the UK. But singling out ethnicity is the wrong way to tackle it 👇 What the figures show: - Courts in England and Wales prosecuted 13,842 people for sexual offences in 2024. Where ethnicity was recorded, three in four were white British: 7,487 defendants. - Courts prosecuted 9,215 people for child sexual abuse offences in 2023. Where ethnicity was recorded, 87% were white British. White British people are 75% of the population aged 10 and over. White British people are significantly overrepresented. - Police recorded an ethnicity for 44,396 perpetrators of child sexual abuse in 2024. 37,017 were white British. - 98% of rape victims said the perpetrator was male. Where the rape crimes take place: - 43.2% of victims were raped by a partner or ex-partner. - 37.8% were raped by someone else they knew, such as a date or a friend. - 16.3% were raped by a stranger. - The most common place was the victim's own home (38.2%), followed by the perpetrator's home (28.5%). A park, street or other public space accounted for 8%. We opened this post by singling out white British men. The figures support it, but it is still the wrong place to look. Rape in this country is mostly committed by a man the victim knows, in a home. It is her partner, her ex, her date, her friend. Sorting rapists by ethnicity does nothing for her. It tells her to watch the street when the danger is in her own house, and it lets every man who is not in the group being blamed off the hook. The work that stops rape is in the home: believing women when they report a partner, prosecuting the men they name, and funding the services they turn to. Start with the victim and what happened to her. Every figure, with its source and the full tables: newscord.org/editorials/who-…

🚨 The Telegraph tried to turn the Celebrity Traitors winners’ £83,000 donation to refugees into an antisemitism scandal, and its own article says a senior lawyer investigated the allegation and did not uphold it. That is a smear built on a finding the paper buried in its fourth paragraph. • Its headline first accused Choose Love of being a “hostile environment for Jews”. Those words appear nowhere in the article, and the headline was later changed without a note. • It says Amnesty “admitted it had had to change the internationally recognised definition” of genocide. Amnesty’s report uses the Genocide Convention’s own definition. • It states as “the fact” that Gaza’s death toll includes “tens of thousands of Hamas fighters”, and gives no source. • The evidence it lists against the charity is support for Palestinians, not anything about Jewish people. Sebastian Croft and Romesh Ranganathan gave money to refugees. File an IPSO complaint in under a minute: newscord.org/action/telegrap…

Now that - in the UK at least - old copper landlines have been almost entirely replaced with digital VOIP services, is it technically possible to trace any and all phone activity over the internet? Because it feels like all these fake "bomb threats" are heading somewhere suspicious.
BREAKING: Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni says 'no danger has been found' after around 300 schools in the country were evacuated due to bomb threats. Police in Scotland and Northern Ireland had also been investigating similar threats to schools. trib.al/hNmdzsG

Jews Against Genocide Denial have released an open letter accusing the @BoardofDeputies of British Jews of denying the genocide perpetrated by Israel against the Palestinians. Our letter followed its attack on the Green Party and its Jewish Leader, Zack Polanski, calling it a racist party for passing a motion declaring Zionism to be a form of racism. We are Jews who have a range of views on the merits of that motion and include many Jewish members of the Green Party. We all abhor antisemitism and other forms of racism or discrimination. None of us see the motion as racist, antisemitic or feel it is a threat to our safety as Jews. jewishvoiceforliberation.org…

After 50 years a 6% deficit can leave you with one of three economies. In one, GDP grows from 150 to 13,500 and the debt ratio settles. In another it grows even faster because interest payments add extra money. In the third, the one modern governments prefer, GDP never moves and debt heads for nearly 1400% of GDP. The difference is not the size of the deficit. It is who buys the bonds. Sell them to the central bank and money is created. Sell them to private banks and more money is created. Sell them to households and firms and the money the deficit just created is cancelled on the spot. The euro locks every country into the third outcome and then bans the first. I run the three cases side by side in Ravel©. P.S. See which system actually works and which one the rules forbid. #Economics #Eurozone #GovernmentDebt #Austerity #SteveKeen

Breaking: Mahmoud Abdelmalik, Gaza Sports Club goalkeeper who played the 1000 Martyrs Cup final last week, has been killed in Israeli airstrikes on Gaza today. Israel has now killed 574 footballers in Gaza.
Two spectacularly blistering finals brought down the curtain on The 1000 Martyrs Tournament in Gaza. The black horse Rafah-based second-tier Al-Istiqla have won the Central and Southern Gaza final after holding on to a narrow 2-1 win against Khadamat Al-Buraij at the Ittihad Deir al-Balah five-a-side playground, whose striker Ahmed Al-Kranz won the golden boot with nine goals. Meanwhile, Palestinian legend and Pele-nicknamed martyred Sulaimn Obeid's side Khadmat Al-Shati have lifted the Gaza and North trophy at the Palestine five-a-side pitch, beating Gaza Sports Club on penalties and nailing back-to-back penalty shootout wins. 41 years ago, the two sides played each other and Khadamat Al-Shati emerged victorious on penalties. The Sea Blues (Istiqlal) and Blues (Khadamat Al-Shati) have taken home the trophies. The return of football in Gaza was mesmerising and remarkable despite the continued attacks and extremely intolerable challenges.

Russell Brand you say? This photo was taken in London, at Ghislaine Maxwell's home. Virginia Giuffre was 17. London’s Metropolitan Police received allegations of trafficking for sexual exploitation involving Epstein, Maxwell, & the London encounter with Andrew as early as 2015. They interviewed Giuffre and assessed the material, but in November 2016 decided NOT TO OPEN a full criminal investigation. The force reviewed that decision again in 2019, 2021, and 2022; the position stayed the same.

China has a Confucius Institute at a university near you. America has a military base, a CIA station, a USAID democracy-promotion program, an IMF structural adjustment team, and a State Department-funded media outlet near your government. One of these is treated as an existential threat to sovereignty. The other is called the "international order."

The Middle East Minister was asked which UK companies had been contacted over plans to sanction firms profiting from illegal Israeli settlements. He named none, instead reiterating that the government would introduce powers to sanction such companies. Yet new findings today reveal that the UK awarded £10.7 million in new public contracts to firms linked to illegal Israeli settlements. The contracts were published after the government's sanctions announcement in September. Why is the government saying one thing and doing another? #DCUKParliament

Russia existed beside Nato and beside an independent Ukraine with very little tension, incl when Ukraine had fiercely pro-Western leader after Orange Revolution. This was possible so long as Ukraine was neutral. It should be neutral again
Replying to @ruth_deyermond
2. You cannot develop a new or revised European security architecture that includes Russia, European NATO, and Ukraine when Russia regards the existence of the first and the independence of the second as an existential security threat.

Note the reaction from this in-crowd audience is raucous celebration. No sucking in of breath, no reserve in the applause. There is no sub-tone of disapproval from Ross.
Jonathan Ross: “The comedy awards is 15 years old… and like most 15-year-olds, it's drunk, it's unpredictable, and it's probably going home with David Walliams.” Everyone knew. Just like they did with Russell Brand.

The system is rigged. Labour enforces Tory neoliberalism because corporate donors & billionaire media tycoons own them. They use racism & wars to divide us while starving the NHS & schools. Until we smash this the system, the working class will never be represented Fck the rules

Ass covering from the Washington-based scumbags at the OAS. It is truly a measure of how colonized Latin America is that these creeps are allowed to monitor any elections after what they did in Bolivia in 2019.
La Misión Electoral de la #OEAenEcuador condena enérgicamente el ataque armado ocurrido en Huaquillas, provincia de El Oro, que provocó el asesinato de Ronald Farfán, candidato a la Alcaldía; de Cristhian Rugel, candidato a concejal; y de Hilda Ruiz. El pueblo ecuatoriano merece ejercer su derecho al voto en un clima de paz y convivencia cívica. La participación ciudadana en las #ElecciónCPCCS2027 y #Elecciones2027Ec es una respuesta democrática frente a la violencia.

Utterly scandalous that this isn't getting wider traction and outrage. A clear national asset & treasure, a repository for knowledge that is of national & global renown, as significant a living monument as any damn slave trader statue--and not a peep from the heritage brigade.
Privatisation of British Library: To be asset stripped, destroyed like water companies & Royal Mail: BL management will close reading rooms, converting them into paid, private spaces operated by commercial company. They propose outsourcing in-house security. Stop this rip-off.
