Reform Might be About to Wipe Out the Tories Fri May 03, 2024 11:12 | Will Jones The local election results are as terrible for the Conservatives as feared and thanks to Reform they would have been lucky to have had only a 1997-style wipeout, says veteran pollster John Curtice.

It's your right to watch the Cops!
PigBrother Live Show
A Survey of Police Weapons, their Effects
and why responsible Officers usually get away
Multimedia Live Show
Internationally, police officers who mutilate or kill people on duty usually get off scot free, many times the cases not even making the news. The Swiss internet site PigBrother.info deals with such cases and the police weapons involved. Though often labelled "less lethal" and claimed to be "harmless", actually many proved to be fatal, not to mention lots of them being banned in war by e.g. the Geneva Convention but nevertheless frequently used by policeforces worldwide (like e.g. Dum Dum Bullets that a.o. killed Jean Charles de Menezes, but also the so called "Tear Gas").
In a multi media live show, Soulless and Anger (the makers of a.o. the homepage PigBrother.info and also of the banned video comedy "Blutgeil") present typical cases incl. weapons, injuries and favourite police excuses a.o. from the UK, Ireland, Italy, France, Germany, USA and Switzerland, where the use of sophisticated police weapons dates back some decades.
Despite the technical aspects and it's heavy going topic, the show is presented in an easy to understand and concise way, and Soulless & Anger also focus on the funnier aspects of several Police Operations making the Officers involved look only too human ...
And they demonstrate, how persistent work in this area can make a difference, forcing the police and the official media to at least sometimes act more by the book or even abolish some weapons or tactics. Without omitting, that such work on the other hand also involves some personal risks, like Soulless & Anger got to know themselves, suffering a.o. an illegal raid of their offices plus several arrests and court cases trying to gag them and to bring their homepages offline -- though up to now without success ...
