Hopefully he will be extradited to the UK to get what's coming to him!
Pakistan police have arrested a man and charged him with "cyber terrorism" over his alleged role in spreading misinformation widely believed to have triggered widespread rioting in the UK earlier this month
The suspect was identified as Farhan Asif, 32, the freelance web developer behind Channel3 Now
The man is accused of spreading misinformation from YouTube and Facebook about the British teenage suspect.
The false information claimed that the suspect was a recently arrived asylum-seeker and had a name which suggested the teen was Muslim. -

Here we go again - Another Hike by Labour (Edited)
I always thought the Labour Party was for the people, not to oppress the people, pillory them with taxes, derive pensioners and the needy of their Winter fuel benefit and hike up fuel bills.
Saving on the Winter fuel benefit is said to be £1.4 billion, which they can then give away to other countries or squander it on countless farcical ventures.

All gossip!
"Anthony Scaramucci predicted Donald Trump might drop out of the 2024 presidential race due to internal campaign turmoil and declining poll numbers.
Vice President Kamala Harris narrowed the economic trust gap with Trump, according to recent polls.
Prediction markets favored Harris over Trump, with a 52% to 45% lead in win odds, reflecting a significant shift in voter sentiment.
Pro-Bitcoin Anthony Scaramucci, a former aide to Donald Trump and now one of his outspoken critics, has made a shocking prediction today.
He publicly declared that he expects Trump to quit the 2024 U.S. presidential elections. Moreover, Scaramucci’s statements have sparked a wave of speculation among political analysts and commentators, raising questions about the stability and future of Trump’s campaign.
Scaramucci made his remarks in response to a post by YouTuber Stephanie LB, who shared a snapshot of Trump’s recent comments.
These polls showed Trump leading slightly in key states such as Pennsylvania, Nevada, and North Carolina against Vice President Kamala Harris.
Despite these favorable numbers, Stephanie LB predicted, “He’s gonna quit before he big loses,” a sentiment that Scaramucci quickly supported. “I said this a month ago on The Rest Is Politics US,”.
Moreover, he continued by suggesting that Trump is more fragile than he appears. Scaramucci labeled Donald Trump a “frightened little man” who would retreat" etc etc

A Russian court has sentenced Ksenia Karelina, a dual Russian-US citizen, to 12 years in prison for treason over a donation she made to a charity that helps Ukraine.
The Sverdlovsk Regional Court announced the sentence on Thursday after prosecutors had asked the judge to jail Ms Karelina, 33, for 15 years. The Federal Security Service, known as the FSB, accused her in February of collecting funds for the Ukrainian army, Russia’s state-run Tass news service reported.
A resident of Los Angeles, Ms Karelina was detained during a family visit to the city of Yekaterinburg.
The case revolved around a donation of about $50 that Ms Karelina allegedly made in 2022 to a US-based charity providing humanitarian assistance to Ukraine.
The FSB claimed the money was used to aid the Ukrainian military, without offering any evidence, in the wake of Russia’s February 2022 invasion. -

The "Daily Telegraph" reports universities will open doors to "failing students".
This will allow the universities to continue their failing business for academic courses?
Supply and demand...
Might it be an idea for some struggling universities to re-vamp their offer to give vocational courses to produce plumbers, electricians, mechanics, ...
and become technical colleges?
Our local college has a great programme for chefs and those aiming to work in the hospitalty business. -
