Powerful earthquake shakes the Greek capital of Athens A strong earthquake has shaken the Greek capital of Athens, knocking out telecoms and power in parts of the city. The earthquake was registered at 5.1 magnitude with an epicentre about 22km (14 miles) from Athens. Witnesses said people ran out into the street and evacuated tall buildings during the shaking. There are no immediate reports of serious damage or injuries but several aftershocks were felt. According to local media, the earthquake was particularly felt in the centre of Athens. There were reports that the fire service rescued over a dozen people trapped in elevators, following the power outage. The earthquake is the first to hit the Greek capital since 1999. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-49047793 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was it they called the Labour party for about 18 months, "fundamentally anti-semitic"? Words to that effect anyway. I wonder if this will prompt an 18 month smear campaign in the national press where they try to brand the Conservative party as fundamentally pro-sex offenders.

If the Tories were treated in remotely the same way, they'd be widely held to be an instutionally pro-rape, anti-black, islamophobic, anti-gay eugenicist hate group. Instead we live in one of the few democracies on earth where the media is more focused on scrutinising the opposition than the government. In a time of national crisis.

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ 5,358 Posted July 23, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted July 23, 2019 Not you was it @Toinho Van carrying £112m of drugs crashes into a police car at the station A van loaded with more than 270kg (600lbs) of meth has crashed into parked police cars in Sydney. The smash happened in front of a police station in one of the city's suburbs on Monday morning. Detectives questioned the 28-year-old driver before conducting a search of the van and discovering drugs with a street value of A$200 million (£112.4m). The substance - also known as ice - had been packed into moving boxes. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/crime/van-carrying-£112m-of-drugs-crashes-into-police-car-at-station/ar-AAEJcNd?li=AAnZ9Ug&ocid=mailsignout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Nürnberger Gesetze) I always thought that the Holocaust specifically referred to the escalation from harassment and persecution into mass-murder. And 1941 was when killings began on the scale of tens of thousands. As bad as stuff like the race laws, and the Krystallnacht were, I didn't think they were counted as part of the Holocaust.

Absolutely no sympathy for him. I only feel sad for his ex-wife. Also not surprising is to see some idiots on Twitter actually supporting or trying to make Shuman and Haider as the victims. Between this, the Jessica Yaniv case and the revelations by Andy Signore, we have seen enough pitfalls of woke culture in the past few days.
