· “Populism and nationalism are increasing in all our countries. For the first time, a country — Great Britain — is leaving the European Union. Worldwide, multilateralism is under pressure….” – German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
· “Converging this much with Germany is an abandonment of sovereignty — a betrayal. If we had not alerted the public, this text would have been signed on the sly. The text provides in particular for the need to legislate in the event of obstacles to Franco-German cooperation…. I do not want more convergence with Berlin, be it in social or security matters, or in closer consultation in the UN Security Council.” – Marine Le Pen, Le Temps.
· “Emmanuel Macron is calling for a grand debate to involve citizens in the public life of our country. At the same time, however, the President of the Republic negotiated a treaty on the sly even though it concerns conditions essential to the exercise of our national sovereignty. Neither the French people, nor the Parliament, nor the Constitutional Council were consulted… For many reasons, this treaty undermines our national sovereignty.” – Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, leader of the party Debout La France! (Stand Up, France!).

The shrines of north London:
All over London you see them. Little bunches of flowers, pasted to railings or on walls, photographs of the deceased, heart rending messages.
Wilham didn’t get many messages or hasn’t had so far, as few people knew him.
I only knew him indirectly, through a lady friend.
He was murdered at 120 in the morning a week ago in Albert Place Tottenham, a few yards from my front door.
Albert Place was named after Queen Victoria’s husband.
In those days capital punishment was still in place.
This was before the consequence of the 1967 Abortion Act, ten million legal abortions.
For Wilham’s murder two fifteen year old boys have been arrested.
If you go along the High Road you can’t miss the shrine. He was I think 22, from Guinea-Bissau, a former Portuguese African colony. What his job was I don’t know. He no doubt felt he was lucky to get out of Africa.
Africa. A hundred and fifty years ago it was a developing Continent, at least under the British and French. Railways were being pushed through the bush. People like Roy Welensky, later the Prime Minister of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, were the engine drivers both of the locomotives and of change generally.
When Ian Smith was PM of Southern Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, he said “we have the happiest Africans in the world” and he was telling the truth. At least they were happier then under white rule than they are now.
Now all people can think of is leaving Africa. The Mediterranean is a grave yard. Wiham is only one of a hundred or so blacks murdered in London this last year in black on black crime.
Tottenham is what used to be known as a ” rotten borough” with a permanent inbuilt unassailable Labour majority, MP David Lammy, pro Remain, pro Iraq War, pro Blair. Nothing ever changes here. Nothing is said much about these murders of black young men, except to blame them on austerity and the cut in Police numbers.
But I think a wider issue is involved. Leaders should lead by example. Tony Blair, who once again, struts around BBC studios was in fact one of the greatest mass murderers in history. His Parliamentary Labour Party was full of sieg heil crypto Nazi fanatics who screamed hysterically in favour of war, whether it was on Yugoslavia, or on Iraq, or on Afghanistan, or later under Blair Mark 2 Libya. It is the Blair project which created these sad shrines in North London.
RIP Wilham.
Organ theft, staged attacks: UN panel details White Helmets’ criminal activities, media yawns
Journalists were present, so the silence isn’t due to lack of access. And in any case it was live streamed on the UNTV channel, and remains available on Youtube for keen observers to watch.
More likely, the silence is due to the irrefutable documentation presented on the faux-rescue group’s involvement in criminal activities, which include organ theft, working with terrorists — including as snipers — staging fake rescues, thieving from civilians, and other non-rescuer behaviour.

Border Patrol agents arrested a gang member and a newly released convicted murder last weekend, both said to have traveled to the border with the migrant caravan.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials said the first incident occurred on Saturday at 6:09 p.m., when agents were alerted to a man attempting to enter the country just east of the Calexico Port of Entry.
During an interview, 29-year-old Jose Villalobos-Jobel told law enforcement that he was a citizen of Honduras and an “active gang member” belonging to the notorious MS-13 criminal organization. He also admitted to traveling with the migrant caravan from Central America. (more…)
