Trump repeats conspiracy theories and election lies in CNN town hall | Donald Trump | The Guardian

Ex-president and frontrunner for Republican nomination fielded questions from voters offering his thoughts on a range of topics

============================================

Same old Trump, lies, and more lies and then even more lies.

The only question he could have answered which wouldn’t have been a lie, would have been his name, but I don’t think he was asked that, so no truths whatsoever, but then that is Trump.

Press freedom ‘under attack’ in every corner of the globe, UN says

Press freedom is under attack in every corner of the globe, with journalists continually harassed, jailed and killed, UN officials and media outlets warned Tuesday.

============================================

Yes, we all do need a free press, but a free press that produces the truth and not what it is told to publish.

Yes, there are a few countries with no free press, Russia for one, Iran another, but there are a few more.

But many countrries believe they have a free press, but many really do for in most instances that freedom is not restricted by governments but the owners of the press. So you only hear what the owners wish and how they wish it.

Nothing is what it seems to be.

Meghan Markle’s family release throwback photo she ‘never wanted the world to see’ – Mirror Online

New photos of Meghan Markle are surfacing in the build-up to a controversial Australian special in which her estranged family are to discuss their fractured relationship

============================================

 

In most families there will be moments which we all wish never to be known outside of  the immediate family, but most of us will not  be in the public ‘eye’ of the media and certainly not have family as obnoxious as some in the Markle and Royal families.

We may get to know of problems that occurred in the Markle family, but only from one side. If Meghan’s father is really wishing to have a reconciliation with Meghan then he is going the wrong way about it. Perhaps he should follow the example of Charles and keep quite. Unusual for me to have a good word for Charles.

Once bridges are broken in families they are not that easy to mend, even if all parties wish to.

I broke off relationships with some of my not immediate family when I was about 13 or 14 years and I am now approaching 74. Can’t really remember the exact reasons for there could have been many, but one was how they talked about other people who were not family. Then I didn’t realise that this part of my family was racist, but when I met my wife to be when I was in my early 30s it became very clear that the people that my relations were referring to many years ago were the family of my wife to be.

This was a pure coincidence, but coming across people in Sheffield now from years ago is not that uncommon. So all those years ago, although I then had no understanding of racism, it was clear to me that I so much disliked what my relations views were and from my then early years I never spoke or met them again, for I had no desire to do so.

Views and opinions made years ago are very rarely changed with the passage of time.

It is time for Meghan’s father and her half-sister, Samantha to refrain from what they are doing for no good will come from it and certainly no reconciliation. They are just deepening wounds from years ago, perhaps out of malice, but certainly not to form friendships. What as gone before let be.

As to Harry and his relationships with his father and others within the Royal Family, well Harry is far from well, but he also needs to step back, no matter how justified he feels. He needs to be content with his life with Meghan and their beautiful children.

UK households turn to TV subscriptions as they cut back on nights out | UK cost of living crisis | The Guardian

Consumers reduce spending on groceries, clothes and eating out as they seek to balance budgets

============================================

But why should you have to pay twice to do so, for in the UK there are 2 subscriptions, one you are forced to pay and one where it is your choice.

Surely choice should be paramount for no one should be forced to pay for a license just to watch TV.

For to watch TV you are forced to subscribe to the TV Licence fee, which is there to fund the BBC, whether you watch or listen to the BBC and then decide which other subscription service to pay for or just the TV license fee and so watch TV on Freeview.

Of course, no one is forcing you to watch TV for that is your choice, but if you do you are legally required to pay the TV Licence fee, otherwise you could be criminally charged, really be criminalised just for watching TV, how ridiculous this is.

Real choice needs to be there for those who wish to support the BBC, so they then pay them a fee either directly or via the subscription to the TV provider of their choice.

STOP the criminalisation of watching TV and leave it to the choice of TV viewers.

Kate Middleton’s Windsor walk with Harry and Meghan ‘one of hardest things she ever did’ – Mirror Online

Two days after the death of the late Queen Elizabeth II, Prince William and Kate Middleton, and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle met well-wishers in a walkabout outside Windsor Castle

============================================

For any non-royal being in Royal family, let alone The Firm will and would be hard, may even be for those born into it.

In fact in both you have to do as you are told to which stops any degrees of independence.

But, if you are in you are well paid for being in, the question do we get value for money, now that is the question and no one outside the royal family really knows the answer as we are only allowed to hear what we are allowed to hear.

That is unless a book comes forth, but then is it the truth, the whole truth or les or a mixture, who really knows for the Royal Family will never tell.

But, saying that we are, perhaps better with them than without them, for without we would have a President and that is another story.

Broke and disabled in Tory Britain: the reality of life on one meal a day | UK cost of living crisis | The Guardian

Welfare reforms have left many disabled people effectively destitute. For them, this isn’t a cost-of-living crisis – it’s a cost-of-staying-alive crisis

============================================

This article is so rare as usually any mention, as the article says, is depicting disability in a very dismissive and aggressive way.

Yes, government policy and the TV programmes mentioned and others that are not create the impression that people with disabilities are not worthy. Yes, there will be a few who are abusing the system, but that is true in all aspects of life, but the majority just wish to live a reasonable life and should be allowed and helped to do so.

Surely that should be a human right for everyone.

Looking after someone with a disability is far from easy, I know for I have done so for some 40 years and my own health has deteriorated in doing so.

If social care was not in such a crisis then perhaps more help would be available, but due to many years of neglect due to massive insufficient funding social care is not what it should be, even though the carers employed are doing all they can with very limited resources and undertake responsibilities far in excess of the remunerations they receive. These carers could so easily earn much more with considerably less responsibilities outside of care, but they care and wish to care, while they too have the ability to do so.

Social care is so desperately short of funding and as we now see this is seriously impacting the care in the NHS as when patients needing social care can’t be discharged from hospitals due to the social care insufficiencies. Thereby restricting more persons to enter hospitals for health care, which is then seriously affecting numbers of ambulances available to attend emergency calls.

While, there has always been some deficiencies with social care funding, this started to become much more serious with the Tory austerity cuts from 2010 and has time as gone by the deficiencies with funding to local authorities as become much more serious.

While the government is starting to make some funding available, the amounts they are giving are massively way short of what is really required in both social care services for children and adults for the elderly are only one area of social care, but in many respects, with the government and media they appear to believe that it is only care for the elderly and even there the funding is wholly insufficient.

If funding of sufficient amounts is not immediately given to social care we can be saying goodbye to social care and many, if not all areas of the NHS. so, then no care for anyone, social or health.

We desperately need a government that is prepared to listen and then immediately take the appropriate action, before it is not too late.

Let’s hope that it is not already too late, but it sure is for some.

Trump’s verbal assaults pose risks to prosecutors and could fuel violence | Donald Trump | The Guardian

Trump has resorted to ‘incendiary rhetoric’ to deter investigations and to rile up his base, experts say, and shows no sign of letting up

============================================

Trump is fighting for his political life and it can be assumed he is far from sure he will obtain it through the US democratic voting process, so he is appealing to his supporters to rise and obtain it through mob violence.

If there is any justice left in America then Trump should not succeed in any approach he uses, but have we have seen in some instances America is predictable, hence the ‘gun lobby and others it is not.

Unfortunately some of the Trump supporters have nothing left to believe in, except the retoric of Trump.

If Trump does eventually succeed receiving the Repblican canditure for the Presidency and then become the President for another, then ‘God’ help us all, not just America but the whole World.

We all saw how he left America after his previous term as President and while there as been some recovery, the damage he caused will take some time to reverse. With another term any damage caused may not be possible to reverse for there maybe no World left.

These are very dangerous times for us all and certainly in America all Human Rights will be removed.
