Judging from various reports, the #ukrainecounteroffensive seems to be a complete disaster, even though this is officially denied by the Western side.

But this analysis by Col. Richard Kemp of the #British military shows no expectations of success.

Col. Kemp uses cautious language, but it is easy to read between the lines. Being a retired Western Colonel, you don't expect him to come out and say openly that #Ukraine️ is going to lose. But that is exactly what he is saying.

Let me explain why the conclusion is clear.

His main points:

1. Surprise is essential for success.

But of course, there is no surprise here. The whole world has been expecting this operation for months. There are no unexpected lines of attack like #Incheon in the #KoreanWar in 1950.

#Authoritarians dislike novelty, diversity, & complexity.

#Telegraph:

"Don't call us far-right - we are just talking COMMON SENSE!"

'Govt says DOCTORS MUST MAKE SICK PEOPLE WORK!'

'WHITE middle-class TEACHERS are a PROBLEM!'

(This is what far-right common sense looks like).
Things that are "common sense" to right-wingers:

Demonise & scapegoat asylum seekers

Cut taxes for very richest people

Allow raw sewage in our rivers

Criminalise protests & strikes

Reintroduce death penalty

Downplay climate change

Sell off #NHS

What right-wing extremists REALLY want: no welfare; no public sector; no taxes; no consumer, worker, or environmental protections; no food or other standards; no limits on Party funding; no lobbying restrictions; no unions; no protest; & no human rights.

The Moplah Revolt of 1921.

What is revealed is how rapidly the  All India  #Congress retreated whenever the masses were in motion, and how in this case a strategic political retreat necessitated a communalist rather than class view of an important peasant (1/25)

Il faut qu'on parle de la #surmortalité.
Le Telegraph titre que le confinement l'aurait causée. Mais ça ne colle pas. telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/08/1… Peut être qu'ils ont mis ce titre pour attirer l'attention, et rendre le sujet visible sans mentionner la cause possible des💉?⏬(suite)
Le Telegraph dit que le #confinement pourrait avoir tué plus de gens que le #Covid?
Mais leur article détaille autre chose: une surmortalité anormale depuis juin 2022 en #UK. Des morts non liées au Covid, selon l'Office de Statistiques Nationales. suite⏬archive.ph/xK9wL
Le Telegraph dénonce 10000 morts en trop depuis début juin (VS moyenne sur 5 ans). Selon eux, le #confinement a causé des annulations de rdv et une liste d'attente, provoquant des décès par crises cardiaques/cancers. Mais pourquoi les gens mourraient de ça seulement depuis juin?

Time to talk about purported “journalist” Joani Walsh. Members of the #transgender community will be familiar with Joani and her anti-trans rhetoric. Ms Walsh purports to be professional and objective. In sensational leaks Walsh admits to setting up sock accounts on a hate site.
Leaked audio recordings expose Joani Walsh admitting to setting up sock accounts on a website of harassment and hate. Walsh admits targeting me and Lisa Muggeridge. She confesses to falling out with a social commentator, who warns Walsh to contact the hate site moderators.
13 audio recordings expose Walsh for what she is, a troll who sets up sock accounts on Kiwi Farms to target her ideological enemies. Gasp, as she admits her “career” would be ruined if exposed. Walsh states a well known commentator is also a hate site contributor.

The landmark #SacharCommittee report that collected & analysed data on the social,economic & educational status of Muslims in India is now available in our resource section. Specifically,it tried to gauge if & why Muslims are under-represented in govt departments & other spheres.
Here are some of its findings. ruralindiaonline.org/resources/soci…
The 2001 Census showed that #literacy rates were low among Muslims, Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.
The perception that religious conservatism among Muslims is a major factor for not accessing #education is incorrect. As with many Indians, the main reason for ‘educational backwardness’ of Muslims is abject poverty, which forces many children to drop out of school.

This all started because the #MetPolice & #LBRUT couldn't do their day jobs properly & decided to take the law into their own hands. It started as a small cover up 12 years ago but has turned into British State Persecution.

My company was raided. It should have been a straightforward matter. But the #MetPolice & #LBRUT forgot to seize my computer & came back to do a 2nd raid. The search warrant didn't permit a second entry, however, #LBRUT entered unlawfully

Complaints were then made to my MP #VinceCable. He liaised with the #Metpolice & #LBRUT. And then weeks later, the search warrant was completely changed & was passed off as the search warrant executed on the day of the raids.
