‘Gimp Man of Essex’ says Somerset Gimp ‘gives whole gimp community a bad reputation’
A Colchester man who goes by the name ‘the Gimp Man of Essex’ has criticised his Somerset doppelganger for giving the “whole gimp community a bad reputation”. The social media personality is well-known in his local area where he is seen doing his weekly shop in Tesco, clad head-to-toe in black latex.
Under the handle @GimpManofEssex, he even posted images of his travels and shared them with surprised bystanders on social media. He has been visiting his village harmlessly for the past nine years the Mirror reports. He has to appear as “normal as possible” when he is out, but other gimps haven’t always abided by the same standards.
Slain Idaho student Kaylee Goncalves called mystery man 7 times hour before her murder, sister says
Two of the four slain University of Idaho students called a mystery man 10 times shortly before their murder, according to the sister of one of the victims.
Kaylee Goncalves made the calls beginning at around 2:30 a.m. on Nov. 13, her sister Alivea told Inside Edition Friday.
“Kaylee calls [the man] six times between 2:26 a.m. and 2:44 a.m…. then Kaylee makes a final call to him at 2:52 a.m.,” Alivea said.
Two girls left untouched upstairs, no 911 call till 9 hours later. Lots of odd here.
Sacrifice: U.S. So Racist Michelle Obama Couldn’t Wear Braids in the White House
Michelle Obama put up with a lot from a “downright mean” country she never could be proud of until it elected her husband POTUS. But we’re still learning how hellish her eight years in the White House really was.
In an interview with Ellen DeGeneres about her new book The Light We Carry, Michelle Obama said, “As black women we deal with it, the whole thing about do you show up with your natural hair? … As First Lady, I did not wear braids. Being the first – yeah, we had to ease up on the people … I was like, it would be easier. Nope, nope. They’re not ready.”

Ukraine war: Were Russian soldiers shot after surrendering?
A video has emerged from the front line in eastern Ukraine showing the surrender of a group of soldiers in an incident that appears to end in their deaths.
Russia has reacted to the footage, accusing Ukraine of executing Russian prisoners of war, which would be a war crime. Ukraine has not yet responded to the allegations.
Crazy – both sides are claiming victimhood.
⚡️The captured Russian soldiers are shot by one of their own comrades to prevent them from becoming prisoners of war. 2/2.
That is one solution, but it is a crime!

A hill to die on
In July 2021, when ‘vaccine passports’ were still a crazy conspiracy theory, I wrote an article for The Spectator Australia arguing that Australia must not become a checkpoint society based on proof of Covid vaccination. To allow such tyranny would be illiberal and draconian, and contradict everything that the Liberal Party, as conceptualised by Sir Robert Menzies, stood for.
Not long after that article was written, many unvaccinated Australians were barred from public places, doctors’ clinics, hospitals, and even from working because they turned down the jab. Our health bureaucracies and state premiers told us that this was essential for our safety to ‘stop the spread’.
How the U.S. became a global leader in LNG – and why Canada has fallen behind
As Highway 27 winds around Calcasieu Lake in southwest Louisiana, massive storage tanks tower over the wetlands in what is shaping up to be a new global epicentre for exports of liquefied natural gas.
Near the town of Hackberry, Cameron LNG is eyeing expansion of its already-huge terminal, which opened in 2019.
No surprises here. Canada gives in to a few eco-fanatics every time.
‘Russian warship, go fuck yourself’: what happened next to the Ukrainians defending Snake Island?
In his 12 years in the frontier service, Bohdan Hotskiy saw many wild places. He thought his home, Ukraine, was the most beautiful country in the world: it had sea and mountains, forests and steppes, marshes and lakes. All was perfect, and so complete that Hotskiy – a 29-year-old captain – never felt the inclination to go abroad. Why bother? “We have everything,” he tells me when we meet in the Ukrainian town of Izmail, close to the border with Romania.
It is high summer. We sit outside on a bench in a central park, not far from the Danube River and Izmail’s port. Hotskiy is dressed in military uniform and holds a Kalashnikov. He is a modest and diffident person, tall and a little awkward, his dark hair receding into an arrow shape. At times Hotskiy seems reluctant to talk about his recent experiences, giving staccato answers to my questions. His story is remarkable, a tale of survival and dispossession.
The PA: Marrying 72 Virgins in Paradise Is Better Than Marrying & Having a Family
There is “nothing more precious” than when your son dies as “a Martyr for the homeland.”
That is what the Palestinian Authority (PA) expects parents to feel when their children are killed during their terror attacks, and that is the message the PA expects parents to publicly declare and pass on to others.
‘No idea too crazy’: Cabinet given suite of options before invoking Emergencies Act
OTTAWA – Cabinet ministers did not exhaust every option they had to resolve the protests blockading Ottawa streets and border crossings across the country last winter before turning to the Emergencies Act, a federal inquiry heard Friday.
Thousands of protesters rolled into Ottawa in big rigs and other vehicles to voice their opposition to COVID-19 public health restrictions and the Liberal government.
After the first weekend, it became clear the protesters did not plan to leave downtown Ottawa, where they set up camps in the middle of city streets. That’s when cabinet convened to review what the federal government could do to end the protests, said Jacqueline Bogden, the government’s deputy secretary on emergency preparedness.
World Cup 2022: Qatar’s beer debacle should be the final nail in FIFA’s coffin
Two days before the start of the 2022 soccer World Cup, host nation Qatar is kicking fans.
Sure, Qatar is happy to provide political cover for China in its genocide of Uyghur Muslims. A clear betrayal of Qatar’s responsibility to the Ummah, or global Islamic community. Sure, Qatar was happy to seize the passports of migrant workers and force them to work in soaring heat without sufficient water. Thousands died to build the stadiums for this tournament. Sure, Qatar demands that gay fans hide their nature just as Qatar holds back the freedom of its women.
The limited and temporary availability of beer, however, is where Qatar crosses the line.
The World Cup, like the Olympics is just another scam the elites use to line their pockets at public expense.
‘I feel gay, disabled … like a woman too!’: Infantino makes bizarre attack on critics
Fifa president accuses western critics of hypocrisy and racism
The Fifa president, Gianni Infantino, has accused critics of Qatar’s human rights record of staggering hypocrisy and racism in a bizarre and incendiary attack on the eve of the 2022 World Cup finals.
In an 57-minute diatribe which frequently drew gasps of astonishment, Infantino claimed that western nations were in no position to give morality lessons to Qatar given their past and current behaviour.

UN climate negotiators agree on compensation fund for poor nations, says Maldives minister
Negotiators say they have struck a potential breakthrough deal on the thorniest issue of United Nations climate talks: creation of a fund for compensating poor nations that are victims of extreme weather worsened by rich nations’ carbon pollution.
“There is an agreement on loss and damage,” which is what negotiators call the concept, Maldives Environment Minister Aminath Shauna told The Associated Press Saturday. It still needs to be approved unanimously in a vote later today. “That means for countries like ours we will have the mosaic of solutions that we have been advocating for.”

Not sure if Trump would come back. Given his announced run it would make sense.
