Richard Vobes has done a lot recently about common law/natural law. Personally I’m a bit sceptical about it. I can’t think of one court case that’s ever been successfully won using common law. Being sceptical again, I would say this is because the law is set by those with the most weapons and biggest police/military.

However, I found this interview with Stan McDonald to be quite interesting. It’s about the burden of tax and whether we should pay these impositions if they are not even legal. The interview is about an hour long, and is well worth a listen if you have an interest in common law issues.

Claire Daly is an Irish MEP and one of the last socialist voices in the EU Parliament. Here’s some clips of what she has said in the last week. This is taken from Tony Gosling’s NotBCFM Politics show. The full episode (Friday 21st April) can be found [here](https://politicsthisweek.wordpress.com/2023/04/20/not-the-bcfm-politics-show-presented-by-tony-gosling-136/) (this full episode is worth a listen).

Apologies for the sound quality in this 12 minute clip. I’m still having mega computer problems.

… and it’s coming to a bank near you sometime soon.

The Dollar is now in total collapse. The Trump nonsense is designed to be a distraction from this.

I don’t usually take much notice of financial gurus online, because they are usually trying to flog you something (usually silver or gold, which makes a nice meal when fried in a pan with butter when society has collapsed and you’re starving). This piece today, by Neil McCoy-Ward, is actually pretty much on the mark…

I have lots to say about this, because it’s all tied into what’s been happening over the last 3 years. In the meantime here’s a recent Jason Liosatis programme about Five Minute Cities…

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.

George Galloway took part in a debate last week at the Oxford Union. Galloway was supposed to be debating against Ben Wallace, the defence secretary, and also to debate the head of the British Army. Both of them chickened out at the last moment, and instead Tobias Ellwood (dim but nice, and head of the 77th Brigade) was put in their place. If interested here’s Galloway’s closing speech of the debate…

This speech is from way back in 2006. It’s at an NUJ meeting in Bristol (Benn was an MP in Bristol).

Whatever your political stripe, and whatever you think about Tony Benn, this guy really knew how the world works.

By comparison, nowadays most politicians are like five-year-olds on LSD.

This is a recent Mint Press News podcast, featuring Max Blumenthal. As usual I don’t agree with everything said here. I post it because most of what’s said is true, and it’s an important counter to the tidal wave of pro-Ukraine war propaganda. There hasn’t been propaganda like this since the Vietnam war. The psychos are pumping out this relentless stuff because they are trying to sell the Ukraine War to people in the West, at a time when many people in the West can’t afford to feed and heat themselves…
