A bar manager who had a toxic substance thrown in his face has spoken out of his life-changing physical and mental injuries. When Tommy Powell arrived for his night shift at the Blue Bar Café in Eastbourne, he had no idea that only hours later paramedics would be scrambling to save his vision. CCTV shows his attacker, identified by Sussex Police as Bradley Moynes, squirting a liquid from a plastic bottle directly in his face, also injuring two other men. Moments earlier, Moynes had been ‘politely’ escorted outside after starting some trouble. Describing how the skin around his eyes almost immediately blistered, Tommy told Metro.co.uk: ‘It all happened within the space of five minutes. ‘I felt this indescribable burning pain. My eyes and face were covered. It had also gone in my mouth and throat.’ Three months on from the attack, Tommy, 27, said he is struggling with severe PTSD, depression and anxiety caused by the incident. He says he often shuts himself off … [Read more...] about Bar manager left partially blind after ‘horrific’ attack with toxic substance

Gran kicked unconscious at funeral brawl calls attacker’s fine ‘an insult’
A grandma who was kicked unconscious at a wake has described her attacker’s sentence as ‘an insult’ Elizabeth Richardson, 54, was beaten as she lay on the ground when a brawl broke out in a pub. She was set upon by Grant Rankin, 27, amid violence following a funeral for someone they had both worked with. CCTV footage showed her being beaten on the floor of Greenhills Bar in East Kilbride, Lanarkshire, on April 29, 2019. Ms Richardson was left with no memory of the incident and has been dealing with anxiety and using antidepressants since. Grant Rankin avoided a custodial sentence and was given a £1,200 compensation order when he admitted to an assault charge at Hamilton Sheriff Court this week. His dad Alexander Rankin, 55, walked out of court with a £600 fine for his part in the fracas after admitting a charge of threatening and abusive behaviour. Ms Richardson said: ‘I am absolutely disgusted with the sentence – sick to my stomach. ‘There is no justice in a … [Read more...] about Gran kicked unconscious at funeral brawl calls attacker’s fine ‘an insult’
Australia elects anti-Queen left wing PM Anthony Albanese who tried to remove monarch as head of state
AUSTRALIA has elected left wing Anthony Albanese as their new Prime Minister, who once notoriously tried to remove the Queen as their head of state. The Labor leader triumphed in the turbulent election today, securing his spot after vowing to tackle the cost of living crisis. But the 59-year-old had previously threatened to crumble the Commonwealth, sharing his desire to get rid of Her Majesty. Despite previously demanding the country hold a national vote on becoming a republic in 2018, there were no plans listed in Labor's manifesto. He instead earlier revealed the party want to prioritise bringing in an Indigenous Voice to Parliament. But in a statement, they said it was "important that Australians have the opportunity to discuss and consider appointing an Australian head of state in the future".

‘All The Babies Are In The Wrong Bodies?’: Bill Maher Questions Trans Explosion In Epic Rant | The Daily Wire
“Real Time” host Bill Maher unloaded on the strident pro-transgender movement in a Friday night rant that once again underscored the liberal personality’s penchant for calling out the left’s sacred cows . While praising tolerance for adults who reject their biological gender, Maher questioned why so many children seem to be getting encouraged to become trans and said it should be okay to ask questions about the relatively new social phenomenon. “If something about the human race is changing at a previously unprecedented rate, we have to at least discuss it,” Maher said. “Broken down over time, the LGBT population of America seems to be roughly doubling every generation.” If this spike in trans children is all biological, why is it regional? Either Ohio is shaming them or California is creating them. pic.twitter.com/t3Tx23MOsu — Bill Maher (@billmaher) May 21, 2022 Citing a recent Gallup poll, Maher noted that less than 1% of Americans born before 1946 identified … [Read more...] about ‘All The Babies Are In The Wrong Bodies?’: Bill Maher Questions Trans Explosion In Epic Rant | The Daily Wire
Cillian Murphy loses a stone for new role but fans are all saying the same thing
Cillian Murphy has been pictured looking very different from his Peaky Blinders character after reportedly losing a stone in weight for his latest film role. The Irish actor, 45, who played gangster Tommy Shelby in the hit BBC crime drama, has slimmed down in order to imitate the lanky figure of theoretical physicist and so-called "father of the atomic bomb" J Robert Oppenheimer whom he portrays in his new movie. But film fans who saw pictures on Instagram from the Los Angeles set of the Christopher Nolan-directed film, entitled Oppenheimer, were distracted by how high-waisted the Hollywood star's trousers were while he was in character. One asked: "How did he get his pants up so high up to his chest?" Another joked: "His pants are higher than Venezuela's inflation", while a third added: "That is one big ass pants." In other pictures obtained by the Daily Mail , the 28 Days Later star can be seen cutting a slim figure as he films scenes with co-stars Emily Blunt and … [Read more...] about Cillian Murphy loses a stone for new role but fans are all saying the same thing
Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein says Trump is offering his supporters up as ‘sacrificial lambs’ at rallies
WATERGATE reporter Carl Bernstein branded Donald Trump a “homicidal president” and accused him of offering up his supporters as "sacrificial lambs" at rallies. Appearing on Anderson 360 Monday night, Bernstein said Trump was putting his supporters in danger by holding indoor rallies during the COVID-19 pandemic. “You're witnessing a homicidal president convening, purposefully, a homicidal assembly to help him get reelected instead of protecting the health and welfare of the United States, including supporters whose lives he is willing to sacrifice,” Bernstein said in a scathing interview. His comments came days after his Watergate reporter colleague Bob Woodward exposed Trump for intentionally downplaying the risks of the coronavirus. Bernstein, a former Washington Post journalist who, along with Woodward, reported about Nixon’s cover-up after infiltrating Democratic Party offices in the Watergate Hotel, did not hold back in his attack on Trump. “Here is this president, … [Read more...] about Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein says Trump is offering his supporters up as ‘sacrificial lambs’ at rallies
