As much as I have enjoyed Armando’s work over the years him and a majority of these ‘just vote’ people think that’ll stop the demonisation of those on benefits. Reeves has promised a clampdown since 2015. Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall said she would post budget…

Reeves’ husband Nicholas Joicey was at one point the Director General of Finance for the DWP. The shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper and others created the hoops we as disabled have had to put ourselves through that the Tories made WORSE.

Labour aren’t the friends of the disabled people think they are and in many areas (including mine) there’s only them or Tories to vote for so sadly tactical voting doesn’t matter there.

In today's #vatniksoup, I'll introduce a Russian social media personality and vatnik archetype, Mr. G (@Wagnersfamily). He's best-known for sharing the most outrageous Kremlin lies, albeit previously being extremely anti-Putin and Kremlin, even coining the term "vatnik".

1/19

It's worth noting, that G is an extremely irrelevant account and person, but his almost comical descent from an anti-Putin, fully fledged Russian Liberal, to full blown vatnik, who doesn't hesitate to lie and naturally lives outside of Russia, is worth demonstrating.

2/19

In his liberal days G was dedicated to popularizing the vatnik meme. He ran the site together with his friend, and also the @trueVATNIK Twitter account, which went inactive in 2015, but was popular in circles opposed to Putin's imperialist ambitions.

Zep 3:17-18

all the Israeli propaganda channels and assets like braindead Fetterman and Ritchie Torres are pumping out hysterical crying about the ICC reportedly preparing indictments for top Israeli genocidal officials, including Netanyahu. They just work out in the open without any shame

the likelihood that the ICC will actually indict top Israeli officials including Netanyahu is very low. The ICC prosecutor Karim Khan is a pathetic puppet cuck bitch, and all this is just theater for them to go "yeah we tried but our hands were tied", as they indict Hamas leaders

that cuck bitch puppet Karim Khan might throw in a few settler freaks to pretend he's even-handed and neutral, and of course the entire Western media class will help launder it, as they're now feverishly working alongside the political class to prevent any actual indictments

Here is the full story, uncovered by Al Jazeera, outlining the final and absolute ideological demise of any left-wing narrative within the Labour Party and, by extension, British politics.

Essential viewing, exposing the Blairites tireless efforts to prevent not only then leader, Jeremy Corbyn, from effectively running Labour, and having any real tangible influence over the parties MPs, of whom 172 were loyal to disgraced former leader and ex MP, Tony Blair,

but also their links to Israel, and how the Likud party has exerted undue and illegal influence over a major British political party and the UK'S media, the fourth estate.

Viruppan Thirunal, the Chithirai festival in the Sri Ranganatha temple started yesterday. This has a very important historic significance. Read on.

After Ulugh Khan destroyed the Srirangam temple, it took more than 45 years to remove the Sultanate rule. The commander of Vijayanagara kingdom, Gopanna Raya, started renovating the temple from 1371. During 1380s, Viruppanna Raya took over as the Mahamandaleswara of Tamil Nadu. He continued the ‘Thiruppani’ left by Gopanna.

He gave a Thulabhara Dhana & donated 17000 gold coins to the temple and granted the revenue from 52 villages He rebuilt several Mandaps in the temple destroyed by Ulugh Khan including the thousand pillar mandapam.

Not only Viruppanna Raya, many of his officials and even his maid made donations to the temple. He recommenced the Chithirai festival during 1383 and conducted the chariot festival on the Revathi Nakshatra. That’s the reason why this festival is called as Viruppan Thirunal !

MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY: TAKE THE BIG GAMBLE, BE RESILIENT

During the GSM licence bid round in 2001, there was an attempt to muscle out Chief Mike Adenuga. However, the then NCC Vice Chairman, Dr. Ernest Ndukwe was very fair and transparent in the manner he handled the exercise.

But powerful forces within the Olusegun Obasanjo-led administration were bent on frustrating Adenuga from securing a telecoms licence. Additionally, President Obasanjo, allegedly, had personal issues with Adenuga.

Nevertheless, Adenuga refused to give up and eventually secured the license in August 2003. He then changed the game with Glo's per-second billing, which the more established companies, like MTN and Econet (now Airtel), had said was impossible but were then forced to adopt.

Media Blackout: Islam’s Sexual Enslavement of White Women

In 2018, leftists and their media lost their minds after Germany's only conservative political party, the Alternative for Germany (AfD), used the following painting in its election campaign to illustrate one of the many reasons it was against immigration (predominately 3rd world Muslims).

Painted in France in 1866 and titled “Slave Market,” the painting was described as “show[ing] a black, apparently Muslim slave trader displaying a naked young woman with much lighter skin to a group of men for examination,” probably in North Africa.

The Alternative for Germany party (AfD) put up several posters of this painting with the slogan, “So that Europe won’t become Eurabia.” 

Many on both sides of the Atlantic were “triggered” by this usage; even the American museum where the original painting is housed sent AfD a letter “insisting that they cease and desist in using this painting” (even though it is in the public domain).

Objectively speaking, the “Slave Market” painting in question portrays a reality that has played out countless times over the centuries: African, Asiatic, and Middle Eastern Muslims have long targeted European women—so much so as to have enslaved millions of them over the centuries.

As it happens, there is something else—another medium besides writing—that documents this reality: countless more paintings than the one in question concerning the abduction, trafficking, and sexual enslavement of European women; altogether they further underscore the ubiquity and notoriety of this phenomenon.

Indeed, this was such a well-known theme that many nineteenth and early twentieth century artists and painters specialized in it, often based on their own eye-witness accounts. (As one art gallery puts it, “Many … of the most important painters did travel [to the Muslim world] themselves, and what they painted was based on the sketches they had made while they were there…)

Below are just 20 such paintings (there are many more).

“The Bulgarian Martyresses,” by Konstantin Makovsky, 1877.  It depicts events from a year earlier when Ottoman irregular soldiers (the so-called bashi-bazouks or “crazy heads”) raped and massacred the Christian women of Bulgaria and their children. 

American journalist MacGahan, who reported from Bulgaria, wrote the following of this incident: “When a Mohammedan has killed a certain number of infidels he is sure of Paradise, no matter what his sins may be.…[T]he ordinary Mussulman takes the precept in broader acceptation, and counts women and children as well….  the Bashi-Bazouks, in order to swell the count, ripped open pregnant women, and killed the unborn infants.”

“The Abduction of a Herzegovinian Woman,” by Jaroslav Čermák, 1861.  From the museum’s official description: “Disturbing and extremely evocative, it depicts a white, nude [and pregnant?] Christian woman being abducted from her village by the Ottoman mercenaries who have killed her husband and baby.”

Supreme Court hears a petition urging for the postponement of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) Chartered Accountancy (CA) exams

Sr Adv Madhavi Divan: There are students from Kalahandi and other rural areas who will not be able to appear for the exams on 8th and 14th May since elections are on. It can be on 7th and 13th may.

#caexams #SupremeCourt #LokSabhaElections2024

Divan: We are not asking for a bulk postponement. If there is a bunch of candidates from Rajouri. Now they can only come by public transport and with security issues it is impossible to travel and public buses also withdrawn during elections. Hostels are also being asked to vacate. One we are asking postpone and if not possible then atleast allow an out option so that one does not suffer if they are not appearing on May 8 and May 14
#caexams

Divan: Other option can be to increase centres. Delhi, Mumbai students will not suffer. But those coming from north east etc who need to travel states have to suffer. Petitioners are candidates who will not be affected but this plea is for the public interest.

THREAD: Here’s how he built UNIQLO🧵

The initial life of Tadashi was just like any one of us.

He graduated from college, but he didn't want to work with his father in his suit & tie stitching store.

So, he took a job in a supermarket.

But he didn't like it there, so he resigned and joined his father's business.

He faced difficulties there too, but enjoyed his line of work and while working for his father, he found his passion of

— selling clothes.

He came up with some big ideas and after taking over his father's business, he established his first branch of Unique Clothing Warehouse.
