Man who protested King Charles’ friendship with Jimmy Savile and the UK’s complicity in genocides is found guilty of threatening behaviour
“A man who threw eggs at the king before shouting ‘friends with Jimmy Savile’ has been found guilty of threatening behaviour.
“Patrick Thelwell shouted: ‘The king is a paedophile,’ after throwing several eggs towards King Charles … in York last year.
“The 23-year-old had pleaded not guilty to a section 4 public order offence, arguing his use of ‘low-level violence’ was lawful because it was self-defence against ‘the violence carried out by the British state’.
“On Friday, the chief magistrate, senior district judge Paul Goldspring, found the defendant guilty of the charge ... He sentenced Thelwell to a 12-month community order with 100 hours of unpaid work [and court costs] …
“During the trial [Thelwell] was stopped by the judge from asking a police witness whether he ‘was aware the king was photographed numerous times with Jimmy Savile’ …
“… [At] the time of his arrest, Thelwell said: ‘Who doesn’t want to egg the king? It’s a protest against the descent into fascism of this country.
“‘The way that the crowd reacted, people just lost their minds. They were, like, ripping my hair out … and kicking at me and calling for my head on a spike’ … Thelwell also revealed he faced death threats …
“He added: ‘I hope more people feel inspired … to use whatever platform they have to speak out against this country, against what it’s doing to refugees and against its complicity in the genocides that are occurring around the world.’”

Russia-Ukraine conflict cost world economy $1.6t in 2022: study
“Without the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the global economy would have generated an additional $1.6 trillion in 2022, according to a study published by the German Economic Institute (IW) …
“The conflict has a ‘high global economic significance,’ IW expert Michael Groemling said … Above all, energy and raw material supply problems were putting pressure on companies worldwide.
“Western economies were particularly affected as they lost two-thirds of their global production, according to the study …
“‘High energy prices caused cost shocks at the production level, which became a burden difficult to calculate for many companies,’the IW said.
“The resulting rise in consumer prices ‘eroded the purchasing power of households, which cut back their consumption,’ the institute noted. Finally, companies were reluctant to invest due to the global uncertainty and higher prices.
“For 2023, the IW projects an additional global value-added loss of $1 trillion …”

Weapons given by the EU to Ukraine, are already being found amongst crime gangs in the EU, sold via channels by Ukrainians

Refugee flows assist the movements of ethnic mafias to set up in new countries ... reports from Poland and elsewhere say Ukrainian mafias have moved along with millions of Ukrainians
We saw this with the 'Kosovo Albanian' refugees in the 1990s-2000s NATO Balkan wars
Albanian mafias set up all across Europe amidst the refugee movements ... with weapons to sell from the Balkan wars arms supplies ... and drugs, perhaps also from US military channels
Of course many Albanians are very nice - very moderate Muslims in general - just as with many Ukrainians, many Italians etc ... but mafias move amidst their fellow ethnics, and small numbers can do a lot of crime
And security services and governments have a vested interest in increasing crime and tension
Street prices of assault weapons are reportedly not that high, a few thousand each ... and we may soon have more battles of competing mafias fighting for turf
