The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world. Most of all, it’s a testament to the resilience and determination of the Hungarian people – and a reminder to all of us to keep striving for fairness, equality and the rule of law.

Probably because normal people with functioning brains don’t blame every single Muslim for 9/11 the same way I wouldn’t blame my German mate for WW2 you stup!d b*stard.

How the hell does the city that experienced the biggest Islamic terrorist attack in history vote for a Muslim mayor?

Police got a call about a suspicious property with dog cries coming from a shed, but what led them to the truth was a German shepherd that refused to let the officers go.
When officers arrived, they did not see anyone outside and at first the property looked almost empty. Then they noticed a German shepherd running straight toward them. They prepared for the worst, but instead of attacking, the dog kept barking, tugging at their legs, and acting like it wanted them to follow.
The officers followed the dog to a shed near the back of the property.
They hesitated at first and knocked, unsure of what they would find, but the sound of barking from inside kept bothering one of them. Instead of waiting any longer, they forced the door open and found multiple dogs trapped inside small cages.
As the investigation continued, officers uncovered what they believed was an illegal dog meat operation in Mexico. And in the end, people said the dogs were only saved because one German shepherd was smart enough to lead police straight to them.

NHS PAID £500,000 OF YOUR MONEY TO BUY ONE MAN SILENCE
Gary Walker ran United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust (@ULHT_News). He watched the @NHS push non-emergency waiting targets so hard that emergency patients were being left at risk. He refused to play along. So they sacked him.
The official reason? Swearing too much in meetings.
Right.
What actually happened was Walker had used whistleblowing legislation to raise patient safety concerns, and was then handed a gagging clause so secret he was forbidden from even acknowledging it existed.
They called it a supergag. The settlement, including legal costs, came to around £500,000 of taxpayers money.
He signed it because he was in danger of losing his house, had children to support, and knew that attacking the very top of the NHS came with dramatic consequences.
Then in February 2013, one week after the Francis Report into Mid Staffs landed without a single person being held accountable for hundreds of deaths, Gary Walker had had enough.
He broke the supergag live on BBC Radio 4's Today programme (@BBCr4today).
The Trust's lawyers immediately wrote to him threatening he would have to repay the full £500,000.
The Health Secretary at the time called it the wrong thing to do. Attacked a culture of institutional self-preservation. Said strong words. Nothing structurally changed.
Gary Walker remained blacklisted from the NHS and found getting work almost impossible. That, as he put it himself, is the plight of most whistleblowers whether they win or lose.
He raised concerns about patient safety. He was sacked, silenced, threatened with financial ruin, and then professionally destroyed.
NHS called that protecting patients.

Stop lying.
He hasn't once said he wants to ban social media posts.
He wants to tackle misinformation being spread, which i know may confuse you but this is a GOOD THING.
Laila Cunningham@policylaila
Khan wants the state to ban social media posts about crime in London. That should terrify anyone who believes in free speech.

Channel 4 Dispatches went undercover inside the Financial Ombudsman Service @financialombuds. What they filmed should have shut the place down.
Their own staff said this on camera:
"I'm not proud to admit it but I've done it myself. Just taken a chance and just slung stuff through, with any old decision."
"You're more likely to meet your targets if you're not upholding them."
11,000 cases fell into a black hole for two years. Some of those letters said "I am going to lose my house."
@UKParliament demanded answers. Baroness Ros Altmann called it shocking. MPs threatened a full inquiry.
FOS said the footage was "not representative."
Nothing changed.
Fast forward to today. My own complaint against @rsagroup / @IntactInsurance is now being formally handled by Gary Smith @G8GWS of @MeridianLegals.
Gary is the lawyer leading the FOS Litigation Group, a group built on over 1,000 documented FOS failures. He is preparing a judicial review of the FOS.
My case has been submitted by Meridian as my regulated representative because what happened to me fits the same pattern Channel 4 filmed.
If you have had a complaint dismissed by the FOS and you believe it was handled without proper scrutiny, contact Gary directly at Meridian Legal Services.

The full transcript of what @C4Dispatches filmed inside the FOS is in the comments.
Read it and tell me this is not exactly what is still happening today.
