Boris just admitted something he has denied for years. Meeting personally with a former KGB agent in Italy while he was foreign secretary. :dead

The best sub-plot in all of this has been Zahawi getting appointed chancellor, knifing Boris less than 24 hours later, and then publicly telling him to get gone him on his new Treasury stationery :lol

And in the same 24 hour span, this amazing story came out but everyone was too distracted to notice

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/chancellor-nadhim-zahawi-nca-investigation-b2117197.html

Quote
New chancellor Nadhim Zahawi’s finances were secretly investigated by the National Crime Agency (NCA), The Independent can disclose.

A senior serving Whitehall figure has revealed that a number of individuals were formally approached by officials from the NCA about the matter in 2020.

The NCA said they were seeking information about multimillionaire Mr Zahawi’s finances, stated the source. The inquiry was codenamed “Operation Catalufa” and is understood to have involved the agency’s International Corruption Unit.

Catalufa, known as “Popeye Catalufa”, is a species of ray finned fish, orange in colour, found in deep waters in the Pacific.

Whitehall officials were told the inquiry was top secret and that Mr Zahawi had not been informed about it. The NCA inquiry did not lead to any action against Mr Zahawi. There is no suggestion of wrongdoing by him.

The first Mr Zahawi knew about the matter was when he was informed by The Independent on Wednesday.

His initial reaction was: “There was no such investigation by [the] NCA. I would know. Right?”

That was anti-brexit activist Steve Bray. He also played the parody song Bye Bye Boris during the speech. Starts a few seconds in and goes on for several minutes, you can hear it if you listen closely.




He started to play the Benny Hill theme just as Johnson was done.

He's going but staying on until a new leader is elected (probably in September at their party conference)

Parliament is off for summer break in 2 weeks anyway.

I can't believe they literally cancelled Boris but I guess those are the times we're living in now.

Let's hope the Conservatives pick Ben Wallace to replace Boris.

i don't quite know why they are obviously censoring the topic, but they won't print a word about it until it turns violent (but trigger happy cops don't count)

Sorry, can't abide by de mortuis nil nisi bonum in this case. Abe was corrupt and took Japan into the wrong direction. He may not have been fascist, but calling him fascist-adjacent would not be an unjust assessment (corruption, nationalism, militarism).

Seems like the security was relaxed/confused. There's a clip that shows that Abe wasn't even hit until the second shot.

It's not really graphic besides seeing Abe collapsing but I'll post it behind a spoiler anyway

Abe was an influential diplomat and statesman for sure. He was liked by pretty much all the leaders across the west which is not an easy feat.
Overall he integrated Japan (which has a history of isolation) further into the global community and made it a very reliable ally.

I'm sure he made mistakes along the way and whatnot but when you look at how Russia and other countries developed post WW2 I would hardly consider it the 'wrong direction'.

That wasn't aimed at this forum but at international leaders and most of the media who are now praising him because he is dead. No gravedancing, just facts. His assassination may actually help his corrupt party (LDP) to further his agenda (now under Kishida), so thanks a lot to his killer.

Do you normally see international leaders and the media talking about famous people and/or democratic world leaders who had just been murdered by calling them pieces of shit who were leading their countries back into the worst periods in its history?

It was literally this for 4 years

Austere Islamic scholar Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi brutally murdered in failed military action directed by President Trump himself, White House in dissaray following human rights abuses

Washington Post - By: Dyla Tac - First they came for the glass ceiling, then they came for mailboxes and today the reckless foreign policy of the Trump "administration" claims another innocent victim. What should've been a mostly peaceful arrest turned into a hellish nightmare for Abu Bakr and his most closest associates when American troops backed up by a K9 attack dog raided his house in the middle of the night. Abu Bakr a beacon of stability in a chaotic region of the world, who mostly kept to himself citing Islamic verses and who was personally released by President Barack Obama on good behaviour was not just brutally murdered but also humiliated. In a statement President Trump declared he had "Cried like a dog" even though most scientists believe that dogs can't actually cry and if they did it was far different from the behaviour we humans classify as crying. David Patreus the former Commander of the United States Armed Forces in Afghanistan and a member of the electrifying 2016 Hillary Clinton Presidential Campaign that was derailed by Russian misinformation and hackers said it is easy to rebuke this so called victory: "I find it hard to believe the soldiers could see or even hear Abu Bark cry, considering how fast a K9 attack dog can move through the Battlefield compared to a fully equipped Navy Seal". The general added: "Furthermore the feed presented to the President would not have included audio and according to the Geneva conventions it is forbidden for soldiers to share such intimate personal details with their superiors." . Democratic Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi was outraged and not just by the attack on Abu Bakr but the clear animal rights violations. "We see another 'do first, think later' from this President that we've seen many times before. If you ask me if this is an impeachable act, I would argue that it is. Both animal and human rights must be protected and especially during military operations."

[insert 150 ads here and a subscription here]

Although she wouldn't go as far as to compare the raid to the German invasion of Poland in 1939 it is hard to ignore the similarities between Trump's direct control of military operations and Adolf Hitler. Yet there are other concerns surrounding the White House. Given President's Trump connections to Moscow this could very well play right into the hands of an eager Vladimir Putin, who seeks to control all of Syria. Removing Assad's biggest enemy paves the way for a Syria fully dominated by the Russians and the Syrians. "The ranks of ISIS could collapse and that could mean that the Syrians could quickly reclaim the Republic of Syria which is not in line with US strategic thinking" Patreus adds. Patreus assured us though that taking out a well organized and well funded group like ISIS is not as easy as cutting off the head of the snake: "Many times before have people tried to take down rebels and in most cases a new stronger leader emerges." Even so, with the current US leadership in complete collapse and dissaray it is unclear what the future holds for ISIS and what the consequences are. For Pelosi however it is clear that we're on a path to a new 9/11: "This will be 9/11 times 10 or maybe times 100. These are very dangerous times and this is a very dangerous President." . Modern military action requires skill and discipline as displayed by the world's most powerful military forces like the Chinese People's Army. Overall this has left expert military minds like David Patreus unimpressed with President Trump's latest snafu: "Trump lacks both the discipline and skill to an effective commander in chief. I don't see how this could be considered a 'victory'. Anyone could have done this."

The Washington Post reached out to The White House communication staff to comment on this story before publishing and received only a poop emoji with an American flag.

A homemade shotgun is pretty simple to make and by it's nature is still pretty effective. A rifle requires some pretty precise engineering, a shotgun not so much.

Google Papua New Guinea + homemade shotgun for some good examples
