A dozen activists, several linked to Extinction Rebellion, have been detained today after a series of raids across London, including against an art collective which had been painting banners ready for protests planned for tomorrow.
Turkish police, violently dispersed a group of people, celebrating Pride week at Maçka Park, one of the city?s remaining green spaces in the district of Şişli on June 22. Police intervention began reportedly after the Şişli Governor?s Office issued a statement, banning the picnic because it could result in “public disorder.”
Russia has released a video showing a coast guard vessel warning the HMS Defender that it was violating its state border and firing warning shots at the British warship, challenging London’s assertions about Wednesday’s encounter.
The short clip, released on Thursday by Russia’s Federal Security Bureau (FSB), shows the confrontation between a patrol ship and the ironically named Royal Navy destroyer that sailed past Cape Fiolent, near the Crimean city of Sevastopol on Wednesday.
“If you don’t change course to starboard, I will fire,” the coast guard vessel officer radioes the British destroyer, warning the warship it was about to violate Russian territorial waters.
The Brutish Royal Navy sent a destroyer, ironically called HMS Defender, into Russian territorial waters off Crimea in a deliberately provocative move. Russia finally stopped showing “restraint”; a Russian Coast Guard gunboat fired warning shots, and then a Sukhoi 24 strike aircraft dropped two bombs into the sea, whereupon the Brutish turned tail and ran for their lives.
Despite the fact that a Brutish Bulldung Craporation “reporter” and another from the Daily Mail were on the ship – by an amazing and total coincidence, of course – and reported that the Brutal Navy crew had loaded weapons before entering Russian territorial waters, and that Russia had indeed fired warning shots, the Boorish Johnson regime farcically denied any such thing even happened. Then the Russians not just released the video of the incident, but warned that next time Brutain tried this sort of thing Russia would drop its bombs on…

In Germany alone, 40,000 piglets end up in the rubbish bins every day, they are rubbish and are not needed.
Per day!
Half dead, lying helplessly dying, they die a painful, slow death after being hit on the floor.
The cattle are hung by one leg, their necks cut off, millions of animals die the same gruesome death for minutes, not just at a week-long festival, but every day.
Only these “other” animals were not declared as pets by humans.
One wonders if Yulin would get that much attention when it came to pigs or calves.
Of course, the Yulin massacre is not justified by the fact that it could be worse in every country with different “animal species”.
ALL animals have the same feelings and exactly the same right to a happy life without suffering and without being killed for their bodies in the end. The same pain is…
