I have never seen coverage of a live trial, one involving allegations of multiple sex attacks on multiple women, framed in a more distasteful way. It's not 'Fame under fire' it's a rape trial. And it involves actual women. And this from the *checks notes* BBC
BBC screengrab from within their Russell Brand trial coverage.  Image of Brand in 70s-style aviator glasses, with earpods in, blank expression. Long dark wavy hair, black and grey beard, dark unbuttoned shirt. All on a fire red/orange and black background
BBC logo top and centre, underneath a subdeck reading: Fame Under Fire. Then the headline 'Russell Brand On Trial'. 
The words 'fire'and 'trial' are coloured to look like they are glowing orange at the bottom

Ukrainian presidential advisor Serhiy Beskrestnov confirms Elon Musk's Space X crippled Ukrainian capabilities last night. In other words, the US deliberately sabotaged European defence operations mid-mission. Every country in the world should move away from buying American hardware ASAP.
"I can confirm that tonight SpaceX has implemented a speed limit on Starlink terminals while in motion.

The limit currently applies to the StarShield “military package” and is set at 100 mph.

Our defense forces were not given notice of this limit, and this has resulted in the disruption of a number of missions.

It is clear that this action cannot be a coincidence and is related to the current political situation."

Former Israeli war chief Yoav Gallant admitted that Israeli forces killed their own civilians and soldiers during the Hamas' attack on October 7, 2023. He revealed that the Hannibal Directive was issued, leading the Israeli army to indiscriminately fire at people Don't think you will see that in MSM

Trump’s attack on ICC is aimed at protecting the US, Israel and Russia from legal accountability. Meanwhile, US, Israeli and Russian disinformation and influence networks are undermining democracy & justice globally, from South America to Europe, Mexico, Canada, and beyond.
A political collage juxtaposing portrait photos of three prominent world leaders with scenes of war devastation and mass graves.
The top half of the image features headshots of three political figures, each wearing a dark suit, white shirt, and red tie:
• Vladimir Putin (President of Russia) on the left, looking slightly away from the camera.
• Benjamin Netanyahu (Prime Minister of Israel) in the center, looking directly forward with a slight smirk.
• Donald Trump (President of the United States) on the right, smiling with an American flag in the background.
Flanking and separating these portraits are small, narrow photos depicting the toll of armed conflict, including heavily bombed buildings, concrete rubble, and distressed civilians holding children.
The bottom half of the image consists of three larger, high-angle and aerial photographs showing the aftermath of casualties:
• On the left, an aerial view of an open field filled with numerous uniform rows of blue or grey tarps or objects.
• In the center, a sandy ground where a group of people stands over a row of bodies wrapped in white burial shrouds.
• On the right, an aerial view of a massive, densely arranged trench or cemetery packed with long rows of graves and crowds of people gathered at the site.

7 shots fired. 4 pm in afternoon. At a car with 5-year old in it. Can’t use deadly force except in response to imminent threat of death of serious bodily injury. As in, from what we know, a blatantly illegal shooting. That’s without regard to victim’s criminal record. 7 Shots Fired.

UK govt plans £1bn energy bills help for poorer households. How about cutting energy profit margins, 100% windfall tax on excess profits before turning to the public purse. UK energy sector is mostly foreign-owned. Dividends paid without any UK tax deduction. End this perk, raise billions.
