What a vile woman. Men should be aware of her.
The Hong Kong rape allegation that led to blackmail conviction.
This is Isabel Rose from Hackney, London.
She met a British man when travelling in Thailand and went to visit him in Hong Kong. She told the police there she had been raped by him.
He was arrested but then later released without charge. Rose demanded £5,000 from him after she made the report and then later asked him for £100,000 to drop the case. The Hong Kong police charged Rose with making a false rape claim and attempting to extort £100,000 from the man. Both charges could result in prison time. She will be sentenced on July 22 and could face up to 7 years.
I SINCERELY hope she gets put on the SEX OFFENDERS REGISTER FOR 10 YEARS as she is a sexual predetor.

Years after stepping back from royal duties, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex remain at odds with senior members of the monarchy. While there have been occasional reports of olive branches extended from London, the underlying tensions appear far from resolved.

She really amazes how much of a cunt she is.

story by Sadhbh O'Sullivan
A lot of the urinary problems men face are attributed simply, to “ageing”. Whether that’s increased frequency during the night, an onset of erectile dysfunction or a reduced drive for intimacy – most of this is seen as inevitable when you pass 40. But often when writing off symptoms as just “getting older”, mid-life men can be misdiagnosed. Here, two consultant urologists, Gordon Muir and Greg Shaw, explain the symptoms that should always warrant a trip to the GP.

Mark Dolan, Daily Expresso regular guest and royal podcaster, understands that Meghan's businesses have not turned out as she had hoped, and the Duchess has realised she wants to re-enter royal life.

She will NEVER EVER REPLACE PRINCESS DI - whish it seems is what she thinks she is doing, but the people, cannot stand the sight of her.

Story by Rachel McGrath
Celia Imrie’s infamous Celebrity Traitors moment became the surprise talking point of Sunday’s TV Baftas, with the incident being mentioned by host Greg Davies, comedian Alan Carr and even a bemused Seth Rogen.

DISCRIMINATION - and How Hamilton Hall can be a Men Only Hotel - Legally
The Disability Act is a bit of a joke and when a women deliberately tried to stay at a Men Only Hotel and was told NO - She complained to the authorities and - well - SHE LOST. It seems there are those women out there who resent how they have no control over gay men as we are not interested in what they have to offer and that just fries some. After a clear case of homohobia - this Karen met her match and lost so - FUCK OFF KAREN.
What is life like living permanently on board a cruise ship?
Story by Amelia Neath
At the age of 64, Sharon Lane retired from her job as a high school language teacher. After spending nearly all her life in Los Angeles, she decided that it was time for a change. While many retirees consider downsizing or moving somewhere sunnier, Sharon instead sought out a life at sea. After a decade of searching for the right cruise ship, Sharon – now 77 years old – made her dream a reality when she purchased a cabin and set sail in June this year on the Odyssey, a Villa Vie Residences cruise that provides a permanent residence-at-sea programme as it circumnavigates the globe. The cruise, which suffered a belated start to its inaugural sailing, left Belfast last October for the first of hopefully many three-and-a-half-year-long adventures around the world, stopping at 425 ports in 147 countries during each voyage.

Story by Jennie Buzaglo

Speaking to TalkTV's Mark Dolan, Hilary explained that Meghan, 44, was not invited to the Met Gala because she has "alienated" Anna Wintour, who oversees the annual fundraising event.
JB COMMENTS:- She thought she was going to be the next Princess Di. She thought she would win the hearts of the people. She thought she was going to be treated as special, royal, adoring people looking up to her and anything she touched would turn to gold and - it has not turned out that way AT ALL - and everything she has touched - is destroyed. Her very touch kills. So, is she just another Mrs. Simpson ?
Two Guys - One Bush - Doing it together helps get it done.
When Woody and I thought about getting this done, it took the whole day and the rewards were amazing.

What a Reform-run Britain would mean for you
Story by Will Hazell
This time last year Reform UK had swept the local elections in England, leaving Westminster stunned by the scale of Nigel Farage’s breakthrough. What’s different about this year’s round of local elections in England, and devolved government polls in Wales and Scotland, is the lack of shock – Reform’s relentless continued advance has been wholly expected and predictable. Projections show that a general election based on Thursday’s vote share would lead to a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party, meaning Nigel Farage would very likely be the prime minister. So how has he got here and what would he do in No 10

A Reform UK councillor has been accused of calling for Nigerians to be “melted”, in a now-deleted social media post. Glenn Gibbins, who was elected as a Reform UK councillor in Sunderland at this week’s local elections, complained on social media in 2024 about the “amount of Nigerians in town”. “Should melt them all down and fill in the pot holes!!” he wrote in the post, according to the campaign group Hope Not Hate. Richard Tice, the Reform deputy leader, was criticised on Sunday for refusing to condemn Mr Gibbins directly.
You make, and take, from the news that which you wish to see and hear. You observe what you want and comment of things that affect you personally. If you don't like something, do not read it and move on but do not shy away from what IS going on in the world of which - you are a part. World news is so easy to find these days and differing opinions not hard to find. Having an opinion is vital and being a ' don't care' person helps no one. So open your mind - open your heart - open your awareness and ALWAYS be open to new ideas.
