if you look at last Sunday’s No-Nato protest, it was banned by ‘the authorities’ on two previous occasions. On the third occasion, on Sunday, they had to hold it in a hall that was part of the Venezuelan Embassy in London.
When it comes to free speech, it’s all very similar to East Berlin in the old days.
The following is a 30 minute recap of the protest. If you go to the Not the Andrew Marr Show channel on YouTube you can find full clips of all the speeches, plus other content you might find interesting.
Don’t go to France, it’s out of control, even more chaotic than Dear Old Blighty.
Unions are staging a general strike in France over proposed pension changes, which include raising the retirement age from 62 to 64.
It’s the sixth big strike since January and protests are planned in Paris.
With the French government showing no sign of backing down on its pension plan, one union leader has warned of escalation and “bringing the country to its knees”, with calls to extend the strikes to key sectors like power generation and gas terminals.
Most industries including travel will be hit by the walkouts. A majority of train and metro services have been cancelled, and schools will be closed.

Britain firing up its dirty coal plants because of the exceptionally cold weather but also because France is on strike, so no electricity flowing from France to England.

I am beginning to think, less and less people are invested in bunging ever more money into Ukraine. They are coming to understand, this is NATO against RUSSIA.
It is not the Euopean peoples who want this ghastly war but the leaders of “The Free World”
“The Leaders Of The Free World”
want to bring RUSSIA to its destruction, they want to break it up and strip it of its fantastical natural wealth.
However the West is almost broke.
So who can continue to pay for this war?
The New York Times is getting people ready for the idea of throwing Ukraine under the buses. It would seem they want the public to think that a Ukraine ship, moored in Poland was being used by Ukraine nations in the darstadly act of blowing up the Russian pipelines
Russia-installed officials in the Moscow-controlled part of Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia region said the halt in electricity supplies to the power station from Ukrainian-held territory was “a provocation”.

At least nine people have been killed and power at Europe’s largest nuclear plant has been lost after Russia launched missiles across Ukraine.
What this mind numbing story in the BBC expect you to think is that The Russians are shelling Europe’s largest Nuclear Plant.
Yet The Russians have held this Nuclear Plant for the last nine months.
So, why would the Russians keep shelling themselves?
It looks like we are sleep walking in to a much hotter conflict between Russia and Nato.
A Reaper Drone stationed in Romania flies very close to The Crimea Naval Base, the Reaper falls out of the sky after an intercept by two Russian jets.
Someone has blown a hole in The Crimea Bridge.
Someone has blown up three of the Nord Stream pipes.
Someone is funding Ukraine in the Russo-Ukraine conflict.
Someone is giving a lot of Intel to Ukraine.
Someone is sending shells to Ukraine.
This must be about as close to an actual war of Russia and U.S.A. as you could get without actually declaring WAR?
However, last week three American banks went tits up.
It is being said the General Motors are now in real trouble.
It is also obvious that Credit Suisse is on the ropes.
“CEO Ulrich Koerner said: “These measures demonstrate decisive action to strengthen Credit Suisse as we continue our strategic transformation to deliver value to our clients and other stakeholders.”
