Sometimes, I want. give up.. What the hell is even this!? Not just the 'reporter'.. The story.. We are going to war because of 'the boat people'? Quote from NATO: "That’s exactly why Nato is now treating border protection as a core part of collective defence"
Why isn't 100% of people seeing this as madness?

“Polygon is a hedge fund. It would appear likely from the register to be either Polygon or Griffith’s umbrella hedge fund Tetragon that owns these liveried RAF aircraft. We have therefore simply no idea who the investors are: it could be anyone from BlackRock to Kim Jong Un. The true ownership is deliberately shrouded in secrecy.

This spaghetti tangle of ownership of RAF aircraft is rather surprising to those of us who naively believed that RAF military aircraft belonged to the RAF, and that the hundreds of billions of pounds the state lavishes on “defence” was used to do things like buy military jets, rather than make rich financiers still richer.

The long tree of subsidiary companies is not only to disguise ownership. At every single stage it provides opportunity for tax avoidance and for other forms of corruption, like consultancy contracts or directorships handed out to the contacts or nominated go-betweens of the politicians and senior civil servants. If you saw a company called Pace Bidco Ltd were giving a remunerative consultancy to the son of an ex-government minister, or to a firm registered to his local landlord, why would that ring alarm bells or connect to the RAF?”

Latest article on mental capacity, the importance of this area, and how capacity is assessed.

Many people have contacted me asking about this issue with respect to capacity under the Assisted Dying Bill. However, whilst I have touched on this in the article, I have written it from a capacity issue more generally, as I think this will be invaluable to people, given what may be to come in the future.

I mention the MCA Code of Practice in the article, and I have provided a link to it. I think everyone should have a copy of this document and I am sure that many people will find it helpful, particularly if they are grappling with a vulnerable relative with medical or care issues. People will notice if they read the code, just how much the law was broken in the area around best interests during the Convid period. Yet no one has been held to account.

Given how such principles were abandoned with glee during Convid, I have zero belief that assisted suicide could ever be delivered safely, and I KNOW that there are not enough medical professionals with enough time to properly assess anyone's mental capacity for assisted death. My belief is that they will actually end up getting lawyers to do the capacity assessments as they already perform these routinely with clients. They will of course be paid a fee if so, and it will become a lucrative form of work for them, which is gross. We shall have to see if I am right about this in the future.

Anyway I digress - hope the article helps anyone dealing with the issues touched on:
