    Yes, I just cancelled my direct debit after I'd tried to go online and do it there. The BBC website was displaying a message saying that it was temporarily unable to process cancellations due to Covid. So I just cancelled the direct debit and left it at that.
    When the guy knocked on my front door and I answered.....he said Mr Collinson? I said "who are you"?. He said. "I'm from TV licensing" then produced an ID card with his photograph on it and which said TV licensing inspector. I said. "I'm not interested and don't watch television".....He said Ok and walked off down my driveway.

    Now that's interesting... every business that I had contact with last year operated normally, though with longer waits "due to Covid". If licence holders have a contractual right to cancel, how could they stop that altogether?

    Maybe it's because the BBC - plus the rest of the MSM - is supposedly "a reliable source" on the scamdemic and has spewed out a considerable amount of fear porn - might some people have just given up in trying to cancel? Was this an attempt to keep people viewing the MSM?

    Happy 60th Birthday Princess Di! ...
    Your Sons Unveiled a Stature in your honor Today

    Vanity Fair Reports:

    "In a ceremony five years in the making, Prince William and Prince Harry reunited in London on Thursday to unveil a statue of their mother, Princess Diana, on what would have been her 60th birthday. In Kensington Palace’s Sunken Garden, the brothers had a brief conversation and uncovered a bronze sculpture with a blue-green patina, showing Diana surrounded by three children. According to Kensington Palace, the statue was meant to reflect her appearance and style of dress in the last years of her life, as she became internationally known for her humanitarian work.

    “Today, on what would have been our mother’s 60th birthday, we remember her love, strength, and character—qualities that made her a force for good around the world, changing countless lives for the better,” William and Harry said in a rare joint statement. “Every day, we wish she were still with us, and our hope is that this statue will be seen forever as a symbol of her life and her legacy.”

    The statue was unveiled in front of a small group that included sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley and garden designer Pip Morrison, members of the committee that organized the statue, and Rupert Gavin, the chair of Historic Royal Palaces. Diana’s siblings, Charles, Earl Spencer, Lady Jane Fellowes, and Lady Sarah McCorquodale, were also present.

    At the feet of the statue is a quote from the poem “The Measure of a Man,” which reads: “These are the units to measure the worth/Of this woman a woman regardless of birth/Not what was her station?/But had she a heart?/How did she play her God-given part?”

    Princess Diana statue unveiling



    Desert com reports:

    "Prince William and Prince Harry came together Thursday for a ceremony honoring the memory of their mother Diana, Princess of Wales, on what would have been her 60th birthday, reports The New York Times. The ceremony at Kensington Palace’s Sunken Garden unveiled a new sculpture of Princess Diana.

    What is the new Princess Diana statue at Kensington Palace?

    Thursday’s ceremony came after four years of planning, says CNN. The statue of Princess Diana was commissioned in 2017 on the 20th anniversary of her death. The entire Sunken Garden — one of Diana’s favorite spots — was redesigned for the occasion.

    Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the memorial ceremony remained exclusive and small. The garden will be open to the public on Friday, reports The New York Times.
    Those in attendance also included Diana’s siblings, Lady Jane Fellowes, Lady Sarah McCorquodale and Earl Spencer, says CNN.

    According to Kensington Palace per CNN, the sculpture “aims to reflect the warmth, elegance and energy of Diana, Princess of Wales, in addition to her work and the impact she had on so many people."

    Have Prince William and Prince Harry reunited?




    This is the first reunion between William and Harry since the funeral of their grandfather, Prince Philip, the queen’s husband, says CBS News, as tensions remain high between the brothers due to accusations from Harry — and denials from William — about the royal family’s handling of mental health and racial issues.

    Neither prince gave a speech at the ceremony but they issued a rare joint statement afterward. Per CNN, the statement from Kensington Palace said:

    Quote
    “Today, on what would have been our Mother’s 60th birthday, we remember her love, strength and character — qualities that made her a force for good around the world, changing countless lives for the better.

    “Every day, we wish she were still with us, and our hope is that this statue will be seen forever as a symbol of her life and her legacy.”
    The joint statement thanked the sculptor, landscape architect and “all those around the world who keep our mother’s memory alive,” per CNN."

    she was a graceful iconic woman that reached legendary proportions. her sons are a casualty of the tragedy of the ending of their parent's union.

    there is a limit to the change one can handle and i don't think Princess Di was EVER going to make a full transition to the FIRM

    and that is probably a very, very good thing

    she shocked them by speaking up and speaking her TRUTH CLEARLY despite the tremendous pressure to SILENCE her, to get her to ACQUIESCE, to simply COMPLY

    bravo!! no easy feat in those particular circumstances and great example for us all!

    Happiest of Birthday's Princess Di!! you will ALWAYS be the People's Princess! and your legacy remains safe deep in many hearts!

    We should defend our way of life
    to an extent that any attempt on it is crushed,

    so that any adversary
    will never make such an attempt in the future.

    I'm watching the footie with a glass of cider, England v. Italy in the European Cup final. I'm fond of Italy so I don't mind who wins.

    It's being played at Wembley, England's national stadium and the policing has been a shambles. Fans without tickets managed to storm the barriers, it's being said that hundreds got through.

    There's not much social distancing going on there either!

    It's being said that there weren't enough police there - at such a high profile event being watched all over Europe. Many have been complaining in recent times that British police are spending more time on diversity training and Tik Tok videos than doing proper police work. If you're burgled - forget it, we're too busy.

    Here's some of the footage:

    In Venezuela, a big gang is being tracked and taken down

    The armament that has been captured, comes from the US and this may be surprising to some, but not to others.. "From the Colombian police department"

    It was known before that Colombia has been trying to destabilize Venezuela for years, on behalf of the US, here's proof the Colombian government has sent armament, and not just attacked in the news or publicly, no, they have sent personal to destroy and derail the Venezuela country. What will the US and Colombia say now?

    Unfortunately, and as usual, this won't make the US or much of western news, so i only have this video to show. It will probably be considered "invalid" or "propaganda" as usual, because how or who else would show you that information? Time to exercise some criteria


    But i do love that some Kalashnikov rifles show up there, i own a few of those I can tell those are the actual real ones, those are "Jugos". I'm not going to say what "yugo" means, but anyone who has military experience will know...

    I love how they quickly moved to the next batch, trying to prevent focusing on the fact that some of those guns are Russian.. lol

    The US captured a Russian Air Defense system, which was deployed in Lybia, and which was sold to them by United Arab Emirates. Questions will be asked

    https://avia-pro.net/news/turciya-po...rpk-pancir-s1e

    Since the software can't be reverse engineered easily, and only the hardware is left to inspect, No much can be done out of it, since a lot of the power of these weapons depend on the software now, like guidance systems and so on

    Writing new software around the hardware they have, would take years, and would not be testable unless you have factories creating prototypes, Turkey can't afford that. So the US is also not interested, it's obsolete by the time they figure it out, and new versions are out by then

    Why did the UAE government sent that to Libya? Are they betraying the US, while also "being good friends?" Because these systems are truly not standalone, so UAE either has bought the knowledge and system to operate on their own without Russia, and somehow that ended up in Libya, and fully operational, or the UAE are working on Libya behind US backs, or... what?

    This is the "E" version, (export) which means it's so encrypted and limited it requires external Russian help and systems just to get it working, and they did not capture that, so it's useless indeed Unless it's a system that was intended only for UAE and they also got the tech transfer to build their own versions of it? *But then, it will be obvious by inspections

    Questions...

    It just brings the Arms race into another step. Maybe that's what they want, since they know they can't do nothing about this, but to show it to media so it causes the "urgency effect"

    Third officer who responded to U.S. Capitol insurrection dies by suicide
    Aug. 2, 2021

    "WASHINGTON – A District of Columbia police officer who responded to the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol has died by suicide, according to the Metropolitan Police Department, the third officer to do so.

    MPD spokesperson Kristen Metzger told CNN Monday that Officer Gunther Hashida, an 18-year veteran on the force, was found dead at his residence Thursday.

    "We are grieving as a Department and our thoughts and prayers are with Officer Hashida's family and friends," Metzger said.

    Hashida was assigned to the Emergency Response Team within the Special Operations Division and was dispatched to the Capitol on Jan. 6, according to the statement. He joined the MPD in 2003.

    Hashida's death is the third known suicide of a police officer who fought back against a violent mob of supporters of former President Donald Trump. Officer Howie Liebengood, a 17-year veteran of the U.S. Capitol Police, and Officer Jeffrey Smith, a 12-year veteran of the MPD, died by suicide days later."

    "Suicide," really? Suicided, more likely. These dead officers, if this is true, may actually have a conscience and were perceived to pose a threat to the narrative.

    Were way past diplomacy of discredit someone anymore , I'm with Satori , I think in DC or government period , there is either a thumbs up or down whether a person assumes room temperature or not. Its taken care of that quickly these days and the situation is neutralized.

    The idea the US government has, of leaving the middle east so that it's taken over by terrorists, so that later they can say: "See? That's why we need to be around, so we are going to go back and take full control, because you can see what happens if we are not in control of the middle east region" is going to backfire terribly bad, and they have already realized it i think,

    The Taliban is talking to China now... How is that a good thing, while also the US attempt to bomb the Taliban? This is a question for the Buddha, or Jesus, i don't think anyone else could be able to figure out the logic behind that line of thinking

    I can honestly say that I have never been able to understand what is what in the middle east. All of the major governments secretly influencing things, then trying to show themselves as the hero - all at the expense of way too many innocent lives.
