    Shocking the death of a woman who wore the wrong attire.
    She was beaten up in a police van.
    On FB, I recall reading a post saying; “beat them up in the van”…during a fb live video, where youths had gathered as cops hold down a ‘suspect’ who were giving the old bill, one guy, in particular, verbal abuse, Stamford Hill, North London.
    I replied; move on, times have changed…

    Any wonder the Metropolitan Police are in special measures.

    Took some effort to find and post this. Tried to find it on their free version?

    I’m not sure why this article appeared? No context, or in reply to anyone?

    At least it’s better than some of the hatred bile posted about Marx on @OfficalSPGB.

    This is amazing. It’s what she would have wanted.

    Capitalists and their mouthpiece, the media, are forever warning workers the dangers of unelected trade union leaders.

    There’s now new unelected prime minister, an unelected, (by stint of parentage parasite) head of state.

    We should not take lectures from the capitalist class!

    Are you struggling? At least the the oligarchs aren’t worrying. £40m mansion gets new trees planted in their back garden! Times are tough…. not for some, not!

    Sorry to blow my own trumpet.

    But very pleased with this from the Times, comments section….NHS nurses set to strike.

    Lots of mileage in this? Perhaps?

    Conclusive proof, if proof was ever needed l posted elsewhere.
    CEOs in the water industry rewarded for failure. Paid 300x median salary of their workers. Then we wonder why NHS staff are voting for strikes!

    @ALB

    Enfield, North London, has 13 golf courses!

    Enfield council was recently criticised for the paltry fee, it charges in rents, around £2,000 pa, from one golf Club!

    Not much sign of any eco warriors?

    AJ, I remember.

    ‘Allied’ forces, Australia have investigated this…it was touched on very briefly in the show? Not sure the outcome.
    From the BBC news website…above

    …had been killed, including a 12 and 14 year old boy, with clusters of bullet holes left close to the floor.

    This came up on the BBC news, yesterday. British SAS* ‘death squads’ murdered unarmed civilians in night raids, in 2011.

    *Australia military confirmed its forces also murdered unarmed civilians in ‘death raids’ at night.
    Not seen any coverage in the tabloids?
