“You have here a desperate
man, whose name is Vladimir Putin!”
“The leading Russian
opposition politician was a constant threat to Putin’s policy of supreme leader
and directorate”
“For all that goes on in
Russia today, Putin and his KGB collaborators literally control everything”
“Anyone who is opposed to his
extreme and harsh measures of dictatorship will be removed”
“Either quietly or
publically, it makes no difference to him”
“The killing of a main
opposition leader Boris Nemtsov, who had to be removed, because his political
views were in total contrast to Putin’s”
“Boris Nemtsov was shot a day
before an opposition rally was to be held”
“Boris Nemtsov was an
economic reformer, a kind and honest man, but a fierce critic of Putin’s
handling of the Ukraine situation”
“Boris Nemtsov feared Putin
would have him killed and that is exactly what has happened”
“All of Putin’s opponents
have met with their deaths”
“Putin cannot stand any opposition
to his dictatorial ways and the Russian people always live in fear”
“They are surrounded by the
spy network which encloses them”
“Nobody dare speak out in
case they are removed, either imprisoned or killed. Such is the state that
Russians have always lived in”
“This is where brother spies
on sisters, mothers on their children and next door neighbours, all live under
this fear daily”
“Such is the invisible grip
that the state has on its citizens, so nobody can fall out of line least they
be reported”
“It did not matter when
Stalin ruled over them in the time of Hitler or when we had the cold war”
“Even up to present day the
Russian people live in fear”
“They have to accept the
propaganda fed to them by the state controlled media”
“The people are naive of the
outside world and are forced to believe what the state tells them”
“They have no freedom to
speak out”
“They have never known
democracy, only the change over from one dictator to another”
“The Communist rule is an
iron tight one and all those who live under this regime must bow down to its
dictates – none are exempt”
“Russia will never change
while it continues to have dictators for their leaders”
“That is why so many of their
neighbouring countries wish to free themselves from this corrupt system and
remain that way”
“All of Russian’s
neighbouring countries, who have found independence, fear Russia will invade
them again”
“They dread the thought of
them being placed under this iron fist regime”
“The West needs to wake up
and unite together in a stronger way and to see the enemy that they are being
confronted with”
“Russia will retaliate”
“Putin might be fearful of
reprisals, but he does have a pumped up ego that the West will not touch him”
“No matter how much
provocation he administers”
“Sanctions and a closing down
of economic measures will see this Russian bear screaming, but Putin will never
surrender”
“He is too arrogant for that”
“In time, when the squeeze
really bites hard, will he ask for certain negotiations to take place?”
“He knows his enemies and
will seek to strike once again when he becomes stronger”
“The lesson here is that one
cannot ever allow this to happen!”

“The callous disregard for
culture and heritage is par for the course with the Islamic State”
“Their blatant destruction of
statues in Iraq and other archaeological sites is outrageous”
“It shows they have no
appreciation of other cultures – only their own”
“They are nothing more than
culturally devoid barbarians and have no place in society and this world”
“As world outrage continues
to grow against IS, they will soon find they are more alienated then they were
before”
“New improved strategies are
now in place to bring an end to their rule”
“Covert activities of the
highest nature are already in operation even though IS appears to be winning
the war to overthrow Governments”
“This is proving to be false”
“More fighters are being
killed over and above those who are being recruited”
“The policies and the tide of
disapproval is now changing and where IS was gaining quite frantically, they
will find themselves boxed in”
“There are several corners of
conflict with no exit strategy in sight as their escape routes are now being
blocked”
“A whole arm or division of
their military has collapsed. Another replacement is on the way”
“This is to try to assist in
their build-up of much needed reserves, but they are being pushed back and
what’s more important – held!”
“This will undermine their
confidence and strategy and the long painful start to demolish their sect is
being noticed”
“IS themselves have seen the
start of their decline as too many of their forces are scattered over too wide
an area”
“The world is now beating a
path to their door and they are gaining!”

“The report into sexual abuse
by Jimmy Savile at Stoke Mandeville Hospital stated that ten complaints at a
time were given to staff”
“One of these complaints of
abuse was made to a nurse, a ward sister and a hospital manager”
“Nine reports were made to a
nurse alone with one more reaching a manager”
“Around 63 people were abused
by Jimmy Savile at the hospital. His victims included patients, staff and
visitors”
“One of his victims was as
young as eight years old and no one was there to protect them”
“To name and shame the
people, who were in charge at the time and did nothing, is not enough”
“These victims have suffered
grave travesty of injustice”
“Their lives have been
destroyed due to a culture that existed at that time”
“Celebrity status, as in
Jimmy Saville’s case together with money, means more than decency, right
thinking and action”
“Compensation by the NHS
trust to these victims is not enough. Their lives have been ruined for all time”
“Counselling for as long as
it takes for these victims to feel they can cope with life should be the main
criterion in getting them better”
“All of these victims feel
betrayed by a system which is flawed”
“Sexual predators hoodwink
people by their duel personality and the manipulative holds they have on people”
“They are psychologically
sick and dangerous and should never be put in a position where vulnerable
people are situated”
“This means schools and
institutions of care and hospitals”
“Lessons need to be learnt
throughout society and to drastically play down the celebrity culture”
“Too many perpetrators are in
the field of entertainment and use their celebrity status to great effect”
“They show one face to their
adoring public, while behind the scenes their darker perverse behaviour comes
out”
“We, as a society, need to
realise that abuse in this way can no longer be tolerated”
“The culture of sexual
harassment has been tolerated by too many”
“There were no safeguards in
place to protect the innocent and vulnerable”
“Females in the work place
have suffered sexual harassment for years & the establishment turned a
blind eye in acceptance of this practice”
“Until we as a society start
to educate respect for all people & to abide by these rights, perpetrators
on many levels will get away with it”
“This education starts at
primary level and should continue this education right throughout a person’s
schooling”
“Bullying is prevalent in all
schools, even though schools advocate a zero tolerance”
“It still goes on and that
means every school in this entire country, yet little is done to sort it out”
“The likes of Jimmy Saville
started young and so education must start young to guard everybody as to what
is out there”
“We must protect our society
at long last!”

“There are still those who
are decent in society and put others before themselves”
“A paratrooper showed
complete disregard for his own safety during a Taliban attack in Afghanistan
& he has been awarded the Victoria Cross”
“The Victoria Cross is the
highest British military honour”
“L/Cpt Joshua Leakey, 27 of
the Parachute Regiment has been honoured for his valour in a 2013 attack”
“He was awarded the medal for
his bravery while under fire and where he went to the aid of a wounded US
Marine Corps Captain”
“He also helped forces regain
the initiative after they were pinned down by fire and were surrounded by
insurgents”
“This is a man dedicated to
his country and to his fellow man, to help save lives and put theirs before his”
“L/Cpt Leakey deserves the
highest award for gallantry for his efforts”
“We congratulate him and
salute him for his selfless acts of bravery”
“The Ebola virus claims
another victim”
“A Sierra Leonean, who worked
with children that were orphaned by Ebola, has himself died of the disease”
“Augustine Baker had been
admitted for treatment at the Ebola centre after becoming ill last week”
“He had worked tirelessly for
an orphanage run by the UK charity on the outskirts of Sierra Leone”
“Augustine Baker was the
unsung hero”
“At the height of the crisis
he would go into the high risk communities to help the children who had been
orphaned by the disease”
“He would search out and find
the children and take them to the safety of the orphanage”
“He was dedicated to his work
in saving these vulnerable children and helped them in whatever way was needed”
“His colleagues and the
children are grieving at this latest news”
“It has been stated that Mr
Baker was a dedicated colleague and never said “No” in search of Ebola orphans”
“Augustine Baker, the unsung
hero, will be sorely missed!”

“Amnesty International has
urged the five permanent members of the UN Security Council to give up their
power of veto…”
“…in cases where atrocities
are being committed”
“Their annual report shows
the global response to an array of catastrophes in 2014 had been shameful”
“It is the richer countries
who are guilty of taking an abhorrent stance by not sheltering more refugees”
“Amnesty International
pointed out that 2014 had been a catastrophic year for victims of conflict and
violence”
“World leaders needed to act
immediately to confront the changing nature of armed conflict”
“Amnesty International stated
that the UN Security Council had “miserably failed” to protect civilians”
“The Security Council must
surrender their veto on issues relating to mass killing and genocide”
“Had this been in place, then
Russia would have been prevented from blocking UN action being put in place
against the violence in Syria”
“President Bashar al-Assad
would have been referred to the International Criminal Court”
“Then the process of getting
badly needed humanitarian aid to the thousands affected by the war would have
been distributed”
“The Security Council must
now act to stop mass atrocities and crimes against humanity otherwise give up
their position in the world”
“What is the point of having
a Security Council, who do nothing and allow atrocities like Syria and
Palestine to continue?”
“Their noncompliance in not
acting in the right and proper way makes their position untenable”
“Another organisation that
has credibility should be formed, who are prepared to have the teeth to do
something about these mass atrocities”
“Syria has four million
civilians displaced by the war and thousands of migrants are left to die in the
Mediterranean”
“2014 is one of the worst
years for refugee crises in history “
“The Security Council,
through not taking the right action, have blood on their hands”
“There is a total lack of
outrage about their performance”
“The war in Syria could have
saved many civilians had the right action been taken”
“They simply do not care and
so the continuing brutality of wars carries on”
“It is the people who
continue to die needlessly, because nobody will take the responsibly to act”
“They use instead their own
political interests over and above what is morally right”
“It is obvious the Security
Council do not have a conscience, as someone would have made a public statement”
“As nothing was forthcoming,
it shows how the Council has let humanity down”
“Something they should
consider!”
“Until a Security Council can
be free to act independently and not be controlled by other parties, nothing
will ever get sorted out”
“This organisation is a
disgrace to Mankind!”

“The head of the United
Nations climate change panel (IPCC) Rajendra Pachauri has stepped down over
sexual harassment allegations”
“Indian police are
investigating a complaint from a 29 year old woman working in his office in
Delhi”
“The harassment includes
unwanted emails as well as text and phone messages. Dr Pachauri denies all the
allegations”
“Dr Pachauri has chaired the
IPCC since 2002 and was in his second term of office, which was due to end this
October”
“In a letter to the UN
Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, Dr Pachauri said he was unable to provide strong
leadership and therefore must resign”
“The IPCC chair is one of the
most gruelling and controversial jobs on the international stage”
“The chair spends much of his
life in mid-air flitting between capitals…”
“…whilst suffering relentless
attacks from campaigners challenging climate science”
“After Dr Pachauri did his
own scientific research he too realised that climate change is a real thing”
“It deserves more action from
political leaders”
“He was supported by
developing countries, who appreciated his willingness to prod main perpetrators
on climate change”
“He was always outspoken”
“Whatever the result of this
investigation, the IPCC have lost a good advocate”
“His voice resonated with so
many that he will be sorely missed”
“In this day and age and
especially where the public persona is always on show…”
“…one has to remain squeaky
clean to maintain credibility within the public office”
“The office itself demands
that, as one is in service to others”
“The IPCC will emerge
stronger from this incident and will not be tarnished by the scandal”

“Outrage has occurred in
India over a Hindu leader’s comment that Mother Teresa’s charity work had one
objective”
“He says that it was to
convert the poor to Christianity”
“Opposition politicians have
criticised this remark and many Indians have taken to social media to express
their outrage”
“There has been a string of
attacks on churches in Delhi and PM Modi has vowed to promote religious freedom”
“Mother Teresa worked for
nearly 50 years to help the poorest of the poor in Calcutta”
“She founded the Missionaries
of Charity and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for her work in 1979”
“India also recognised her
contributions by awarding her the Bharat Ratna (Jewel of India), the country’s
highest civilian honour”
“The main opposition Congress
party are demanding an apology from the ruling BJP and said they will raise
this issue in parliament”
“Mother Teresa should not be
insulted like this”
“As a young girl, Mother
Teresa saw a vision from God to help the poor, sick and dying in Calcutta and
this was to be her work”
“When she arrived in Calcutta
as a nun, she saw the dead and dying being left in the road abandoned – nobody
did anything to help”
“She obtained a wheelbarrow
and, with the help of fellow nuns, placed these forgotten souls into it and
took them back to the convent”
“There they spent their last
days and died with dignity and with love and care”
“They died with peace of mind
being given to them”
“Others who had died &
left to rot, were also picked up by her & her nuns and given a proper
burial in accordance to the laws at the time”
“Mother Teresa founded the
Missionaries of Charity and everything they needed was provided”
“This was in the way of beds,
bandages, medicines and food”
“Many people around the world
gave up their time and energy to assist her in her task, all were happy to do
so”
“One day a sister said, “Mother we have no food today for the
patients””
“Mother Teresa bid all her
sisters to stop what they were doing and to pray to God to supply the food”
“From nowhere, eye witnesses
have reported that food was delivered from all directions”
“All the nuns ate the same
food as their patients”
“Mother Teresa’s philosophy
each day was “To do something beautiful
for God.””
“She was interviewed by
journalists and a programme was made on her and her work”
“They hoped to find some kind
of dirt on her as she seemed too good to be true. They found nothing!”
“Mother Teresa did what other
religions did not want to do and where possible she saved many lives”
“She was a living saint and
God bless this woman for her divine calling and for the strength and vision to
carry it out!”

top Islamic Institution has called for a radical reform of their religious
teaching”
“This is to tackle the spread
of Islamic extremism”
“Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayeb of
Cairo’s al-Azhar University said that the historical misreading of the Koran…”
“…has led to intolerant
interpretations of Islam”
“He was speaking at an
anti-terror conference. He called for unity among Muslims”
“Egypt’s President Abdel
Fattah al-Sisi has said that a pan-Arab military force is needed to combat
terrorism”
“The needs for a unified
force was “growing and becoming more
pressing every day””
“It is high time and long
overdue that major Muslim clerics around the world come together as one voice
to speak out”
“There are flaws within its
own teachings of the Koran and the many misinterpretations continually go on”
“There are debates among
Muslims themselves, who have their own version of the Koran”
“They become misled and often
confused as to what to believe”
“Other faiths, such as
Catholicism, Buddhism and Hindu etc., are all taught the same versions of their
religion with one creed and one mass”
“It is high time top Muslim
Clerics came together to sort out their own Koran”
“They must stipulate one way,
not multi aspects, where misinterpretation leads to fanatical behaviour”
“The entire world is suffering
the backlash of these misinterpretations & the Muslim Clerics have been
silent in their attitude towards this”
“The world hears very loudly
the voices of radical Muslims, who summon up fellow Muslims to fight their
cause”
“The same cannot be said of
other clerics, who should be equally vocal against this form of extremism”
“It is as if they have almost
turned a blind eye to these events”
“King Abdullah of Jordan
found he was being invaded by Islamic extremists many years ago”
“He and his military forces
removed these extremists from his land to keep his citizens safe from their
destructive ways”
“These Islamic extremists
have been around for decades, yet nothing on a united front has been
forthcoming”
“It has been the case of too
little too late”
Until Muslim countries unite
together as a whole to combat extremists, then mass slaughter for all is the
result"

“The three girls missing from
their homes and are reported to have travelled to Turkey, will bring much
distress to their families”
“The girls have been
influenced, not necessarily radicalised by a Glasgow Muslim called Aqsa Mahmood”
“She is 20 and went to Syria
to become a jihadi bride”
“The girls aged 16 and 15
years old are naïve, but not necessarily innocent of their decisions to travel
to Syria to join IS”
“The pain and suffering now
being inflicted on their families is beyond belief”
“Young people have high
emotions”
“They see daily on the
television the atrocities that occur around the world and feel compelled to act
in some way”
“They have no idea of the
mental, emotional and physical scars they will encounter”
“These three girls have never
lived in a war torn country before, having enjoyed living in a stable country
as Great Britain”
“The culture shock from a
safe haven to a war torn country will see them out of their depth”
“None of them are
psychologically equipped to endure the horrors of what they will see”
“To sacrifice their lives for
a cause which is doomed, will not give them the salvation or the satisfaction
they seek”
“Their roles either as slaves
or jihadist brides will damage their delicate natures”
“Nothing but glory for the
cause is their only argument”
“They can do nothing to
change the course of IS’s strategy nor the violence that IS inflicts on others”
“These girls will have the
stains of blood of the victims on their hands and it will change them forever”
“Up to now they have not yet
entered into Syria, but they are on the verge, at the door of entering of which
there is no recovery”
“To be wilful against one’s
parents is one thing, to put oneself in mortal danger is quite another”
“Their fates are now in the
hands of a Higher Power of which their emotions will not be considered”
“IS militants are hard and
aggressive, they have no room for love or compassion in their hearts”
“That is a sign of weakness
and cannot be allowed according to their creed”
“IS’s ideology of a loving
state, which values life and all that is sacred according to God and its texts,
is not accepted in their ideology”
“God is love in bountiful
ways and compassion and forgiveness high on the lists of its teachings”

to Syria to join IS”
“The pain and suffering now
being inflicted on their families is beyond belief”
“Young people have high
emotions”
“They see daily on the
television the atrocities that occur around the world and feel compelled to act
in some way”
“They have no idea of the
mental, emotional and physical scars they will encounter”
“These three girls have never
lived in a war torn country before, having enjoyed living in a stable country
as Great Britain”
“The culture shock from a
safe haven to a war torn country will see them out of their depth”
“None of them are
psychologically equipped to endure the horrors of what they will see”
“To sacrifice their lives for
a cause which is doomed, will not give them the salvation or the satisfaction
they seek”
“Their roles either as slaves
or jihadist brides will damage their delicate natures”
“Nothing but glory for the
cause is their only argument”
“They can do nothing to
change the course of IS’s strategy nor the violence that IS inflicts on others”
“These girls will have the
stains of blood of the victims on their hands and it will change them forever”
“Up to now they have not yet
entered into Syria, but they are on the verge, at the door of entering of which
there is no recovery”
“To be wilful against one’s
parents is one thing, to put oneself in mortal danger is quite another”
“Their fates are now in the
hands of a Higher Power of which their emotions will not be considered”
“IS militants are hard and
aggressive, they have no room for love or compassion in their hearts”
“That is a sign of weakness
and cannot be allowed according to their creed”
“IS’s ideology of a loving
state, which values life and all that is sacred according to God and its texts,
is not accepted in their ideology”
“God is love in bountiful
ways and compassion and forgiveness high on the lists of its teachings”
“Unless one adheres to these
principles none can say they are a follower of God!”

“It is high time that
retailer Benetton contributes to an international compensation fund for the
victims of a collapsed factory”
“The factory that collapsed
in Bangladesh resulted in 1,138 people losing their lives”
“The nine storey factory
collapsed in Dhaka on the 23rd April 2013 after warnings from workers and local
journalist that it was unsafe”
“Their pleas were ignored”
“The decision for
compensation has occurred due to pressure from campaigners”
“They accused the company of
dragging its feet over providing financial aid”
“Benetton together with
Walmart, Primark and Matalan were the fashion brands linked to the Rana Plaza
complex”
“More than one million people
have signed a petition on the campaigning website Avaaz”
“They are urging the company
to pay into the Rana Plaza Trust Fund”
“If Benetton does not pay
they will face embarrassing protests during the Milan fashion week”
“Benetton is now working with
a globally recognised third party to establish how much they should pay”
“The company is UN’s
International Labour Organisation”
“So far they have raised
$21m, but still need $9m to meet compensation commitments”
“Benetton and the other
fashion houses should do what is morally right and compensate with compassion –
something they have not done”
“It is obvious that
Benetton’s policy is profit over decent working conditions for factory workers”
“They are paid a pittance to
supply their goods”
“It is an absolute outrage that
factory workers are thought so little of that their working conditions are not
even vetted”
“Compensation from these
companies is nothing”
“What is important, are the
lost lives of all these families, who have been torn apart due to the greed of
these companies”
“No amount of compensation
can eradicate their pain & suffering & the very idea that Benetton can
still be dragging their feet is deplorable”
“It takes pressure from
people to push through the moral picture before Benetton is prepared to do
anything about it”
“Shame on you Benetton. Who
really in their right mind would want to do business with a company like yours?”

self-esteem and skills for life’s work”
“At present three out of four
young people, who are supported by the Princes Trust, move into work, education
or training”
“Thus far the Prince’s Trust
has helped 750,000 young people since 1976 and supports 100 more every day”
“Prince Charles takes an
active role in overseeing this important work”
“It is his brain child and
gives the young, who feel lost, a real chance in life”
“For this and many other
charities that Prince Charles is involved in…”
“…is a real credit to his
sensitive compassion for humanity and the environment”

him in our lives!”

run-up to the crisis in Ukraine”

Union Committee claimed Europe “sleepwalked” into the crisis”
“The EU had not realised the
depths of Russian hostility regarding the Ukraine”

said Britain had not been active or visible enough in dealing with the
situation”
“For too long now EU’s
relationship with Moscow had been based on the “optimistic premise” that…”
“…Russia was on a trajectory
to becoming a democratic country”
“How naïve can Britain be and
for that matter the Foreign Office”
“You just have to look at
Putin to understand his character and how he operates in his own country and

“Mr Putin is the ex-KGB
chief. They torture people who are against them”
“The Russian people do not
have rights. They have no freedom of speech”
“They are under the powerful
observation of the KGB and everything that the Russian people do is monitored”
“Russians cannot speak out
openly or against the state of Putin. They would automatically be imprisoned”
“Any subversion is strongly
opposed and dealt with harshly”
“Mr Putin has groups of
youths under his employ to upset situations that are not to his liking”
“It is very similar to the
Hitler Youth at the time of the rise of Adolf Hitler”
“These situations are normal
in Russia and the people have no choice as the regime is too powerful against
any form of criticism”
“Putin does not want
democracy, he wants to be the dictator and rule Russian with an iron fist”
“Another Stalin, he wants to
be greater than Stalin”
“He will do everything in his
power to achieve a greater Russia, not for the people but for him alone”
“With this kind of bullying
mind-set, how can the West then treat him with a softly, softly approach”
“They have to be out of their

Russia prosper from its oil and gas supplies”

dependant on Russia and this has been their greatest mistake”
“Now they cannot afford to be
bullish against Putin for fear he could and would cut off their supplies”
“One must never underestimate
the enemy of old”
“It is Vladimir Putin, who
has played a canny game”
“The foolish West and Europe
have fallen into the trap and now he is showing his true colours and the EU
don’t like it”

of an aggressive surveillance state in Russia”
“The collapse of the Soviet
Union had filled Putin with horror and rage”
“That is why when he came to
power in 2000 he transformed Russia into a giant spy state”
“In 2006 the GB hit squad

“Now Whitehall are deeply
concerned about the number of Russian spies, formal and informal, who are based

“Peter Oborne was the chief
political commentator of the Daily Telegraph. He has recently resigned”
“His statement that the
Telegraph lacks coverage into the HSBC tax scandal is a fraud on its readers”
“The paper had deliberately
suppressed stories about the banking giant including last week’s revelation on
its Swiss subsidiary”
“The Daily Telegraph is the
most important conservative-leaning newspaper in Britain”
“Its traditional distinction
between advertising and its editorial departments have now collapsed”
“The Telegraph’s coverage of
HSBC put the interests of this major international bank over its duty to report
the news”
“This is the fraud on its
readers”
“The paper’s owners actively
discouraged stories critical of HSBC since 2013, when the bank suspended its
advertising”
“The Telegraph was following
its investigation into accounts held with HSBC in Jersey”
“A former Telegraph executive
said that HSBC was the advertiser you literally cannot afford to offend”
“For three years the
Telegraph investigation team received a tipoff about accounts held by the bank
in Jersey”
“This investigation was
similar to the Panorama investigation into the Swiss arm of the bank”
“HSBC then suspended its
advertising. Winning back the HSBC advertising account had become urgent
priority”
“It was eventually restored
after twelve months”
“The Telegraph readers are
intelligent, sensible and well-informed people. They buy the paper because they
feel they are able to trust it”
“If advertising priorities
are allowed to determine editorial judgements, how can readers continue to feel
they have any trust?”
“It is thanks to the likes of
Peter Oborne, whose conscience is a measure of the decency of this man”
“He cannot stand idly by and
see good investigative journalism being destroyed because of money”
“The Daily Telegraph had
always had a brilliant reputation with its journalists and its readers, who
have a high regard for its journalism”
“We have to thank the
Guardian newspaper, who won’t be bought”
“They stick their neck out to
get to the truth and are respected by their colleagues in the industry”
“Something the Telegraph
needs to consider again!”

“Kayla Mueller was a generous
and adventurous spirit”
“She is described as the best
of humanity”
“She asked for advice on how
to work in the Middle East, not to make money or a career, but simply to help”
“She chose her blog name as
“Imbued with Hope””
“This summed up her character”
“Kayla tried to help
civilians in Syria, whose lives had been destroyed in the war”
“She was deeply affected by
the horrors in Syria and wanted to help”
“Her sweet and gentle nature
together with her caring for others made her stand out from the rest”
“Kayla began volunteering
with every aid agency she could find”
“In a few short months her
enthusiasm & talent got her noticed by some of the most respected charities
including the Danish Refugee Council”
“She was working with a local
Turkish NGO to create a community centre in Kills, a town on the Syrian border”
“This is one of Turkey’s
biggest refugee camps”
“She was captured by IS in
Aleppo, while leaving a Spanish MSF (Doctors without Borders) hospital”
“She died while being held
hostage by the IS militants”
“The US state of Arizona has
held a candlelit vigil in honour to this remarkable aid worker, who was
selfless to the end”
“When asked what kept her going
in her mission, she said…”
“…“I find God in the suffering eyes reflected in mine, if this is how you
are revealed to me, this is how I will forever seek you””
“Kayla Mueller, an
exceptional lady, whose life was always selfless and for humanity, she is an
inspiration to us all”

“Swiss police are now
searching the offices of the Geneva subsidiary of HSBC bank into what looks
like money laundering”
“Prosecutors have also said
they are investigating HSBC for any money laundering”
“The bank’s chief executive
said last week that the bank had closed down accounts of clients, who did not
meet their high standards”
“If it was not for the
whistle-blower none of these revelations would have come to light”
“This police raid comes after
a week of allegations, which first emerged that HSBC’s private bank helped
wealthy clients evade tax”
“How can anyone in their
right minds ever trust banks? They are only there to serve themselves”
“It is always profits before
decency and honesty which comes first, transparency is not even on their radar”
“Repercussions to HSBC will
be far-reaching even though they have put in a full page advert in several
papers apologising for their conduct”
“It really is too little too
late, nobody will believe them”
“They have been caught hands
down and so they deserve the loss of revenue which now faces them”
“The banks naively think that
because they were able to get away with wrongdoing for many years they are unstoppable,
a law unto themselves”

“Israel’s financial watch dog
says Prime Minister Netanyahu has improperly used state funds for his family
These facts are followed on
by further complaints from the opposition
The State Controller has
found excessive sums had been spent by Mr Netanyahu and his wife on food,
furniture and gardening
All these additional costs
were for his state residence and private home
Evidence has now been passed
to the Attorney-General on this investigation
Mr Netanyahu has promised to
implement these recommendations to curb his spending
As his reputation worldwide
has already been stated, he is economical with the truth
It makes one doubt his
promises. They are purely hot air
The State Controller’s long
awaited report shows the taxpayer’s bill of maintaining the Prime Minister’s
office in Jerusalem and…
…his private home, which has
more than doubled between 2009 and 2011
Evidence has come to light
which shows expenditure is not consistent to what should be classed as sensible
normal housekeeping
All this should be in
proportion to the residences that are inhabited instead of what has come to
light as excessive spending
The report shows clothing
claims were two and a half times the allocated budget in 2011
Take away food deliveries of
$23,000 were charged for
This is in spite of the staff
having a permanent cook and cleaning bills were also excessive
Employees at the Prime
Minister’s office reported being forced to pay out of their own pockets for Mr
Netanyahu’s personal expenditure
They were not reimbursed
The report detailed bills for
calling out an electrical contractor on Yon Kippur
This is the most sacred day
in the Jewish calendar when all work ceases on that day
Also in the report on what
one might appear as petty, but shows the mentally of the Netanyahu family
Mrs. Sara Netanyahu kept
money on refunded deposits on recycled bottles, the report goes on!
As with so many who are in
power, greed steps in and they feel they are above the law of the land and in
some cases even God!
President Zuma is another
case in point
When Margaret Thatcher,
Britain’s first women Prime Minister, came into office…
…she had minimal expenditure
for her home at No 10 and at Chequers her stately home
The civil servants at the
time could not believe it
She was a frugal Prime
Minister and did not feel it was necessary to burden the tax payers
Other Prime Ministers around
the world, as we are now generally informed, are not so honest and really it is
no surprise
Their greedy, disruptive even
bullish mentality signifies it all the time
They are what they are and
are not fit to be in a position of power!

“She was badly injured by the
bomb, which was attached to her car and then exploded. Her driver and four

it impossible for her to survive”

“The outbursts by Mr Malema
and his MP’s in parliament over President Zuma’s spending scandal…”
“…prompted the speaker to get
police in to remove them – something that should never have happened”
“As a result of the eviction,
the largest democratic party, the Democratic Alliance, walked out in support of
those MP’s”
“Mr Malema feels his
outbursts are about defending democracy”
“EEF MP’s accuse President
Zuma of benefitting unduly from taxpayers money for further upgrades on his
private residence”
“This is a disgrace and a
scandal”
“Last year an independent
inquiry found President Zuma had unduly benefitted from these expenses…”
“…to his swimming pool and
cattle enclosure to a cost of $23 million”
“All this was done despite
criticism of the upgrades and where South Africa’s economy is stagnant”
“Mr Malema has demanded
President Zuma pays back the money to the taxpayers”
“Until decency and moral
behaviour is set as an example and adhered to nothing in South Africa will get
better”
“The late Nelson Mandela did
not sacrifice his life away for some greedy callous and self-opinionated
person…”
“…should benefit over the
people of South Africa”
“Nelson Mandela wanted
justice and freedom from depravation and not for abuse on his people”
“It is up to the people of
South Africa to demonstrate their disgust at President Zuma blatant disregard
for them”

“The retrial of the two
Al-Jazeera journalists is about to begin”
“They were convicted last
year of spreading false news to help a terrorist group”
“Mohamed Fahmy and Baher
Mohamed were imprisoned together with their colleague Peter Greste, who has
just been released”
“It was the appeals court
that had ordered this retrial, because the original court’s verdict had no
evidence to justify imprisonment”
“Mr Greste was released last
week under a law allowing the deportation of foreign nationals to their home
countries”
“He was and still remains
innocent of the crime he was accused of”
“This makes their justice
system a mockery in the eyes of the Law and of International Law”
“The journalists were jailed
simply for reporting the news, all of which is out in the open”
“It can be verified that
their reporting remains unbiased. Egypt has nothing to fear but fear itself”
“The Court of Cassation has
now ruled on 1st January that the proper legal procedures were not followed in
this case”
“The Judge in the Court of
Cassation said prosecutors failed to present conclusive evidence that the
defendants helped the Brotherhood…”
“…or even promoted them”
“It’s time that Egyptian
courts started acting according to the Law & not continue to remain a
kangaroo court for the entire world to abhor”
“Mr Fahmy and Mr Mohamed
should be released from prison”
“Mr Fahmy should keep his
Egyptian nationality as a token of consideration for being wrongly imprisoned
for crimes he never committed”
“At the end of the day the
world stands behind the innocent!”

“Dominique Strauss-Kahn
denies charges of pimping, he has told the court in northern France”
“He has stated prosecutors
had greatly exaggerated the frequency of his licentious evenings”
“Mr Strauss-Kahn has a
reputation of being a bully and a liar”
“He only cares for his own
skin and what he feels he is entitled to get away with”
“Dominique Strauss-Kahn’s
life style is now catching up with him in a big way”
“Four years ago in a New York
hotel, a maid accused him of sexual assault and rape. All this he denied”
“The maid would not be
intimidated by this powerful man and sought to get justice for herself against
his appalling behaviour”
“She took out a civil court
action against him and won”
“It was settled out of court
for a figure of $1,440,000. She also was awarded an out of court settlement
from a newspaper”
“While Miss Nafissatou Diallo
has more money than she needs, she would have preferred to stay as a chamber
maid”
“She wishes nothing had
happened to her”
“Powerful men like Mr
Strauss-Kahn feel they can bully and intimidate those whose lives he feels are
beneath him”
“In this recent trial, Mr
Strauss-Kahn is accused of supplying sex workers for a prostitution ring based
at a hotel in Lille”
“Again he denies that they
were prostitutes””
“Evidence of an ex-prostitute
describes how she was paid to go to these parties and was specifically chosen
for Mr Kahn”
“His treatment of her was
unpleasant and the way she was dressed up for the party it clearly stated that
she was a prostitute”
“Nobody else would go to a
party dressed in the way she was”
“Mr Kahn’s antics have lost
him his job as the IMF boss, his marriage and his dream of becoming a French
president”
“Until these powerful men are
brought down there can be no decency in this world”
“They continue to ride
roughshod over those who, in their opinion, are of no count”
“Fortunately the legal system
is above these antics and if found guilty he could face ten years in jail and
be fined €1.5m”

“The Prince of Wales has
raised the issue of the jailed blogger Raif Badawi during his first meeting
with Saudi Arabia’s new king”
“Human Rights organisations
have urged Prince Charles to discuss the case during this visit”
“Raif Badawi was sentenced to
10 years in prison and 1,000 lashes for insulting Islam”
“Mr Badawi has already
received 50 lashes. The next two sessions were postponed on medical grounds as
his wounds had not healed”
“He faces 50 lashes every
Friday for the next 18 weeks”
“His official crime was to
insult Islam, but supporters say his real offence was to criticise the
country’s powerful Sunni clerics on his blog”
“Prince Charles has a way of
raising human rights issues that do not make the Saudis bristle”
“Prince Charles has already
met the new king at the funeral of King Abdullah, where he paid his respects”
“King Salman is the new king
and Prince Charles is known to the Saudi Royal family”
“Prince Charles is no
stranger to this kind of work”
“He has been sought out for
his diplomatic stance and his generous nature in seeing the point of view from
all sides”
“He will do his best and with
that continue to maintain good relations with the Saudis”
“One might not like their
politics or the way they handle people who they feel are a threat to their own
security and identity”
“Saudi Arabia has come under
huge international pressure after Mr Badawi’s plight was championed by human
rights campaigners”
“It is always necessary to
engage with these powerful nations and to find a common ground diplomatically
without fear of losing face”
“Prince Charles has learnt
much in his life and from his excellent teacher, his mother Queen Elizabeth,
who is respected throughout the world”

circumnavigate the Mediterranean”
“All this is done by human
power”
“Just now Huw Kingston is in
Tunisia where he is training to row from there to Turkey”
“The distance is some 1,200
miles where he will pass by Malta and Cyprus. It is estimated it will take him
50 days to complete the task”
“He will try to reach there on
the 25th April”
“Turkey celebrates Anzac
Centenary when the Australians and New Zealand Army Corps landed at Gallipoli
in 1915”
“The money that Mr Kingston
will raise for his efforts is for ‘Save the Children Fund’”
“It is a very worthwhile
charity that helps all children around the world”
“Mr Kingston was born in the
UK, but is a resident of Australia”
“This amazing man has paddled
the Corinth Canal and trekked through the European Alps which included an
ascent of Mont Blanc”
“He has crossed the straits
of Gibraltar and cycled 1,500 km under two weeks through Algeria”
“On his journey to Turkey he
will be joined by a fellow adventurer, a Slovenian by the name of Marin Medek,
who will share the rowing”
“It is to be expected that
there will be harsh condition on the Mediterranean Sea”
“The bravery and
determination of Huw Kingston to prove against the odds what people are
prepared to do to raise funds for worthwhile causes”
“Huw Kingston is an
inspiration to us all. His many wonderful escapades will be remembered for all
time with appreciation and thanks”
“He is a role model that this
world needs right now”

all to see!”

“The problems with the Euro
are that interest rates are not suitable for the whole of the Eurozone”
“A common monetary policy
involves a common interest rate for the whole Eurozone area”
“The interest rates are
inappropriate for regions which grow faster or those who go slower than the
Eurozone average”
“In 2011 the ECB increased
interest rates because of inflation fears from Germany”
“At the same time Portugal,
Greece and Italy were going through a recession due to their austerity packages”
“The higher interest rates
set by the ECB therefore crippled these countries”
“The Euro cannot be the
optimal currency”
“In the US, should New York
go into recession then the worker could move to New England and get a job there”
“In the Eurozone, it is far
more difficult as it involves moving country and possibly learning a new
language”
“Therefore there are more
barriers to movement of labour in the Eurozone”
“Therefore an unemployed
Greek can’t easily relocate to Germany”
“Since the start of the Euro,
several countries have experienced rising labour costs”
“Their exports become
uncompetitive. Usually they would devalue their currency to make their exports
more competitive again”
“The Euro makes this
impossible, so you are stuck with uncompetitive exports”
“When Greece joined the Euro
in 2001, it lied to gain admittance to the Eurozone hoping it could benefit
from financial backing”
“One of the EU’s requirements
of all euro members is that deficits should be below 3% of GDP”
“Greece has not met this
criterion since 1999”
“Therefore their increasing
debt has brought untold misery to these people and therefore to their own
downfall”
“They cannot sustain their
own austerity measures and now Greece could be facing an exit out of the Eurozone”
“For Greece to finally leave
would be the best thing, to regain the drachma and begin to find their own way
with their own export system”
“They will finally have to
learn to balance their own books and…”
“…to revive their economy
without the crippling interest rates from the ECB and the IMF”
“It would be hard but not
impossible”
“The Eurozone would not
collapse, but it will be a worrying time for those other countries that face
bankruptcy like Italy”
“It is time for the Euro to
be resorted out. It cannot hope to continue in this cavalier manner”
“Interest rates should apply
to the various circumstances that the countries find themselves in”
“Then the ECB becomes more
flexible to changing situations”
“The Euro has never been
right and until it gets its house in order it cannot lay judgement on others”
“The right way of working has
never been there and that is why the Euro remains flawed”

“Thanks to a whistle-blower,
who leaked the truth on HSBC’s practice to provide their clients with the means
to evade paying tax!”
“Millions of pounds have been
deposited in HSBC’s private bank in Switzerland and this was notified by the
whistle-blower in 2007”
“Panorama has seen thousands
of these accounts from this private bank”
“The bankers helped clients
to evade tax and helped tax dodgers stay ahead of the law”
“HSBC having been found out
says it is fundamentally changed”
“The bank now faces criminal
investigations in the US, France, Belgium and Argentina”
“It also says it is
co-operating with the relevant authorities”
“HSBC, which is based in the
UK where no action is being taken against it, raises cause for alarm”
“One wonders when there is
absolute proof that this has been going on for years”
“Then whose pockets is the
bank lining to avoid UK investigation?”
“The bank says it has put
compliance and tax transparency ahead of profits”
“Panorama has spoken to a
whistle-blower, who says there are still problems with tax dodging”
“That person stated that HSBC
did not keep its promise to change and this was pointed out to them”
“The result being that that
person lost their job. She has since won a tribunal hearing for unfair
dismissal”
“Verbally HSBC are doing all
the right things, but they are not putting them into practice, because it suits
them not to!”
“Documents stolen in 2007 by
a computer expert working for HSBC in Geneva contain details of more than
100,000 clients”
“All from around the world
were hiding their cash from tax authorities”
“The French authorities that
assessed the stolen data concluded in 2013 that 99.8% of its citizens on that
list were evading tax”
“HM Revenue and Customs were
given their leaked documents and have identified 1,100 people who had not paid
their tax”
“Some five years have gone by
and, although £135 million in tax has been recovered, there are still large
amounts outstanding”
“HMRC have certainly not been
tough enough in securing monies for the British taxpayer”
“Thousands of pages of this
data was obtained by the French newspaper Le Monde”
“Now, in a joint
investigation, the documents have been passed to the International Consortium
of Investigative Journalists”
“Also they were passed to the
Guardian newspaper, Panorama and more than 50 media outlets around the world”
“They will be the ones who
will be able to get to the truth and root out this crime of tax avoidance”
“It is banks like HSBC, who
continually break the law, that need to be closed down”
“Normal citizens, who bank
with HSBC, are not dealt with in the same way. They are often denied loans to
help them with their businesses”
“It is only the rich who
evade tax, while HSBC get their rich payoff”
“Double standards and greed
is the policy of these big banks”
“While they continue to get
away with it, because nobody stops them, they feel they can and do act with
impunity!”

“A woman with a rare disease
has been spontaneously cured in an event that doctors say is impossible”
“The woman who was in her
50’s had been plagued by warts and infections as part of the WHIM syndrome”
“This is caused by a
defective immune system”
“US doctors say a fluke DNA
mutation reported in the cell, effectively cured her in her 30’s”
“The odds of this happening
are highly improbable”
“Those who suffer from WHIM
syndrome have a defect in a single section of their DNA”
“They are still able to make
cells to form their immune system, but they get stuck in their bone marrow
where they are produced”
“This leaves patients
incredibly vulnerable to infection, which then leads to warts and an increase
risk of cancer”
“The woman sought out a team
of researchers in the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases
to get her daughters tested”
“This is because she had
passed down her condition to her two daughters”
“The doctor in charge could
not believe that she said her warts had disappeared 20 years ago”
“The research team tried to
find out the reason for this miracle”
“The cure was tracked back to
a mutation in a single cell in her bone marrow – an event called “chromosomal
shattering””
“This is where a part of her
DNA was rearranged and it led to 163 genes being taken out together with the
mutated cell”
“Research continues into
finding out at what role the other 163 genes that were affected by the mutation
had”
“All this “chromosomal
shattering” took part in a stem cell that manufactures immune cells”
“The cell was able to take
over the bone marrow”
“It became the starting point
for a new immune system that was able to get into the blood stream”
“This could not have happened
in a muscle cell as it would not have made any difference to her”
“The fact it took place in
the stem cell made all the difference, because it manufactures the immune cells”
“The woman no longer has
warts, is no longer susceptible to infections and no longer has blood
abnormalities”
“This now gives excellent
insight into the syndrome”
“It goes to show that
miracles, no matter how small, can have life changing effects in a very big
way!”

“They are kept in unhygienic
and unventilated dark rooms and monitored by the employers using video cameras”
“Any child that stopped
working was beaten”
“India now has laws aimed at
fighting child labour and it is illegal to employ a child under the age of 14
years old”
“This is due to the work of
Kailash Satyarthi, who won the Nobel Peace Prize for his work in 2014”
“He has long campaigned
against child labour and he has rescued children from servitude”
“India still has millions of
child workers and a census in 2011 put the figure at about 4.35 million”

the figures are as high as 60 million”
“One child goes missing every

measures to eradicate the Mafia behind bringing children from other states to
work in these hazardous industries”

“The Serious Fraud Office has
opened up a formal criminal investigation into accounting errors at Tesco”
“There is a £263 million
overstatement of its first-half year profits, which has led to eight senior
staff being suspended”
“When the SFO launches a full
criminal investigation against a company or individual…”
“…it has to be satisfied that
there are grounds of serious fraud or bribery”
“This has now happened and
the SFO are looking into Tesco’s accounting practices”
“The 95 year old group has
dominated the British high street for years”

slowdown of trading, which has led to profit warnings”

the giant retailer, which some analysts say it’s now too destabilised to invest
in”

the power to prosecute people who deliberately or recklessly mislead statements
to the Stock Exchange”

overstating its profits by over £250 million”

fallen every day and have already lost a fifth of their value”

long-term delays with receiving their own payments – some have nearly gone out
of business”

nearly a year to be paid, had to put the situation into the hands of a
solicitor”
“Even with the solicitor’s
letters Tesco still did not pay up”
“It was only when the
solicitor threatened to bring Tesco’s down under the law that Tesco’s
immediately paid up”
“Tesco wants the general
public to believe this oversight in their accounting has only just happened”
“In fact it has been going on
for years”
“Thanks must be given to the
whistle-blowers, who are the saviours of the public”
“Tesco has been known for its
ruthless handling of public land and development for its own ends”
“Often they put small
shopkeepers out of business”
“Tesco’s only thought is for
their own profits and greed no matter what the cost to others”
“This has been shown to be
the case over many years”
“Now finally Spiritual Law
has come into position and their ruthless behaviour is coming to bite them hard”
“There will be no mercy shown
to this group as they did not show any mercy to those whose livelihoods they
destroyed”

see that and so Tesco was refused permission to open up a store in that country
– China looks after its own!”
“The Financial Conduct
Authority has handed out this year in fines of £307 million. It has the teeth
to do it and to hurt Tesco”
“Let this be a lesson to
Tesco in future. They cannot expect to ride roughshod over everybody and still
get away with it.”

“The British Parliament will
vote later to decide whether to allow the creation of babies using DNA from
three people”
“The UK could be the first
country to legalise three person babies and could help 150 couples a year”
“If a Yes vote is given it
would help women like Sharon Bernardi from Sutherland, who has lost seven
children to the mitochondrial disease”
“Mitochondria are the tiny
compartments inside nearly every cell in the body that converts food into
useable energy”

which is separate to their own characteristics such as appearance”

mitochondria, which is passed down by the mother…”

liver dysfunction, muscle wastage, heart failure and blindness”

considerable pain all the time until death relieves them of their misery”
“The modified version of the
IVF combines the two parents with a healthy mitochondria from a donor woman”
“This will allow for a
permanent change to be passed on for generations”
“This research has been
suggested by patients, supported by patients and is for patients”
“The Church wish to block the
MP’s vote on this pioneering research and technique”
“As is so often is the case,
the Church proves once again that they are completely heartless”
“They will not endorse this
life changing research”
“They would prefer women to
continue carrying this dysfunctional mitochondria and to pass it down with each
generation”
“Like Haemophilia, which is
also passed down by the mother, this is being cured by gene therapy and there
is now hope for the future”
“This disease is where the
patient’s blood cannot clot and so they could bleed to death in severe cases”
“They experience extensive
bruising and internal bleeding”
“This process still needs to
be perfected”
“The day will come when a
person with Haemophilia will be taken to the treatment centre and leave without
the disease”
“Where is the compassion by
the Church for those who have these diseases, who suffer endless hours of pain
and suffering?”
“As is usual, the Church is
nowhere to be seen!”

high ranking military and policemen”

Egypt and fought wars on their behalf”

from Canada and Egypt and is now faced with denouncing his natural born country”

colleague Baher Mohamed, who is Egyptian with nowhere to go but to remain
behind bars – a travesty of justice”
“Amnesty International has
stated that there are grossly unfair trials in Egypt”
“Egypt’s total disregard for
national and International Law makes a complete mockery of their systems”

do what is decent and honest”

the law is constantly being violated and abused?”

standards and therefore the world can look on it with disdain”

accused of spreading false news and aiding the Muslim Brotherhood”
“All journalists who work for
Al-Jazeera have the highest moral and professional standard of reporting and
are known for their impartiality”
“Al-Jazeera journalists have
a reputation, which is acknowledged and respected globally”
“What is now needed is
continued pressure, so that Mohamed Fahmy and Baher Mohamed will also be
released”
“We hope that the Egyptian
Courts will see sense and not use fear to pass on ridiculous trumped up charges
which hold no water?”
“The eyes of the world
continue to look down on Egypt and hope that sanity will prevail”
“That law and order starts to
formulate into real justice for all”
“That same justice will be
used in the cases of their own judges, should they ever need it!”

best wishes to Peter Greste on his release”

bullet”

into his mother’s bag to get the iPod and picked up the gun instead”

“They really have no need to
have them in the first place”

responsibility by these parents is beyond belief”
“How can the American law
continue to accept the freedom of gun laws by putting so many people at risk by
reckless people?”

sense in America. God help the victims every one of them!”
