Manchester City cheated Premier League rules, the Commission found. Did it also cheat HMRC? We've examined the decision and leaked Mancini documents. We think City likely failed to pay £12m in tax. There should be a criminal investigation. Thread:

Russia again threatens NATO with nuclear strikes, this time if NATO "attempts to cut off Kaliningrad," which translates into normal English as "if they dare to defend the Baltic states from Russian aggression." They are an unhinged mad beast, and wht do we do with a mad beast?

In 1968, Poland's Communist government adopted an official "anti-Zionist" position. The effect was the mass repression of Jews. All Jews. Ones who had never expressed support for Zionism or the State of Israel. Guilt by mere association. 25,000 fled the country. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1968_Po...

As part of the "Zionism is Racism" motion which the Green party will be voting on at conference, there is a specific section which says that members of the Green Party who are members of 'Zionist Synagogues' should be kicked out. Efforts to amend this language were rejected at a "party workshop".

Anyway, a few weeks ago The Canary ran a piece by David Miller which attacked various Jewish members of the Green Party by name. It charged them with being members of various Synagogues, with those Synagogues themselves being affiliated to denominations which strongly believe in Israel's existence.

It is important to understand that Russia became the world's largest country without colonialism. The only mistake of Russian non-colonialism was that it didnt non-colonise more. No ships = no colonialism

A lesson in libel from Mohammed Amersi. If Charlotte Leslie said he was a “charlatan chameleon”, he’d sue her for libel. If I said Amersi had “money making schemes” he’d sue me in a heartbeat But libel is only available to incredibly rich bullies like Amersi.

OTD in 1939, in accordance with requirements of Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, USSR handed Polish town of Bialystok over to the Nazis. As part of what we say was “preventing a genocide”, we handed 100,000 people to the Nazis. Who were very nice to all of them.
