Keir Starmer says he will never withdraw from the ECHR because there is "no need" and Rishi Sunak did not disagree, despite it being the reason he failed to stop the boats. Nigel Farage says it's time to ask the people.

A Swiss girl has been been taken into care because her parents stopped her taking puberty blockers, breaching a ban on conversion therapy. Is this what Labour means by a "full, trans-inclusive ban on conversion practices"?

The West's headlong rush to jettison fossil fuels and hit 'Net Zero' CO2 emissions is impoverishing us while enriching China, which is ramping up its coal-fired industry to sell us all the 'green' technology.

'Populists' like Donald Trump and Nigel Farage are a "threat to democracy", chant the mainstream media. In fact, they are just reminding our politicians what they are supposed to be doing, says Prof James Alexander.

Student tazered and arrested in the US...

category international | arts and media | other press author Wednesday September 19, 2007 17:40author by Miriam Cotton - MediaBiteauthor email mcotton at mediabite dot org Report this post to the editors

for asking John Kerry some questions

The Youtube video link below shows a student being arrested and tazered for asking John Kerry, among other things, why he conceded the presidential election when he allegedly would have known it was rigged. The student was doing nothing other than asking questions which Kerry did not want to answer. He was not violent in any way, nevertheless he was bundled off by security men in front of a large audience not one of whom responded to his cries for help - despite having been clapped by a number of them just moments earlier. He was handcuffed and then tazered while completely defenceless. The only apparent attempt to help him on the video is the sound of a lone woman screaming at the police to stop what they were doing.

This story should be national front page news coverage all around the world. The land of the free and the home of the brave exposed for what it is. The US is in no position to lecture any other country about democracy or human rights abuses:
