Royal Navy officer ‘kicks out family of nine Ukrainian refugees’ who fled war for UK
A family of nine refugees who fled Ukraine are now uncertain of where they will live after they were asked to leave their acccommodation. Maxim Hyryk and his wife Olga say they don’t know why they were told to vacate the two-bedroom bungalow where they have been staying in Fareham, Hampshire. They had been offered the home by Royal Navy officer Dudley Malster, who lives next door. The married dad, 40, has served in Afghanistan during his 20 years in the military. His father-in-law left his family the bungalow after he died last year, the Daily Mail reported. The Ukrainian family were offered to stay there under the Government’s resettlement programme. Maxim said his hosts were extremely welcoming when they arrived after spending two months in hostels in Poland, with Mr Maltster’s wife Kelly picking them up from Stansted Airport. But three weeks ago he says they cut off contact and they were then told to leave the home by Hampshire County Council.

Logan Mwangi: Why murderer Craig Mulligan can be named
Published 5 hours ago Share close Share page Copy link About sharing Related Topics Murder of Logan Mwangi A judge has ruled that a 14-year-old boy who murdered five-year-old Logan Mwangi can now be publicly named. Craig Mulligan's name was revealed after a judge's ruling, following his sentencing to at least 15 years. In her ruling on the anonymity order, Mrs Justice Jefford said "there is a significant gap in any understanding of this case" if Mulligan was not named. During the trial, Mulligan could not be identified publicly due to reporting restrictions because of his age. Mulligan was convicted of murder alongside two adults: the man who raised him, John Cole, 40, will serve a minimum 29 years in prison, while Logan's mother, Angharad Williamson, 31, will serve at least 28 years.

Logan Mwangi’s tragic final hours – agonising injuries before tiny body dumped in river
The guilty verdict for the killers of Logan Mwangi , Angharad Williamson and stepdad John Cole, may have brought an end to the legal proceedings but not to questions about the horror the innocent boy faced. It is possible many questions will never be answered, a tragic and horrifying outcome for all but none more so than his father, Benjamin Mwangi. Williamson and Cole are thought to have exacted brutal cruelty on the innocent boy, who had his whole life ahead of him, adding further nightmarish disgust to his untimely death. The sick pair have today (June 30) been jailed - Williamson for 28 years, Cole for 29 years. A 14-year-old defendant has also been found guilty in the proceedings, which wrapped up on June 30, but they cannot be named due to their age. They have been sentenced to life behind bars with a minimum of 15 years.

The Many Colors Of Imperialism: Where This Flag Flies, Intimidation Reigns | The Daily Wire
We’re so accustomed to seeing flags, it’s easy to forget they have deep significance. Who isn’t able to bring to mind the indelible image of the U.S. Marines hoisting the American flag in victory at Iwo Jima. Or American astronauts planting it on the moon ? Or Colin Kaepernick kneeling in protest against the Stars and Stripes and the country for which it stands? Flags are partly why those images are seared into our collective minds. Essentially, flags are symbols that represent values and beliefs. More than that, they represent a claim on both the land and, in many ways, the mind. Flags represent jurisdiction. They say with quiet authority: this symbol, and its attendant beliefs and values, has preeminence here. Flags matter, in other words. We don’t erect them for nothing. Which is why the photo (above), from London’s kickoff of Pride month, has a menacing feeling. To me, it has an imperialist quality to it, like an occupation. All those beautiful rainbow … [Read more...] about The Many Colors Of Imperialism: Where This Flag Flies, Intimidation Reigns | The Daily Wire
I came back from a 4 day camping trip to find the council had locked me out of my own home – it’s ridiculous
A TENANT was locked out of her flat overnight by the council for not telling them she was off on a four-day camping trip. Alice Benn, 33, had to sleep on a neighbour's sofa and was banned from going into her flat just to pick up clean clothes. She came back from the holiday with her 23-year-old brother in Camber Sands, East Sussex , last night when she realised the code on her temporary accommodation flat had changed. An on-duty worker told her they changed the lock code because she went away without telling them. But no one in charge of the block of 27 flats in Tonbridge, Kent , tried to contact her while she was away before deciding to lock her out, she said. Alice, who lives alone in the £124-a-month flat, told The Sun: "It feels like a prison here. I went away for four days, not weeks and weeks.

‘I could have sorted Wagatha in 24 hours’: Meet the troll-hunting lawyer
In 2011, after seeing the level of abuse that The X Factor contestant Frankie Cocozza was getting online, Nicola Brookes posted a message of support. In a Facebook comment, she advised Cocozza to keep his friends and family close and be patient while waiting for the harassment to end. For some reason her innocuous comment infuriated the internet trolls – sparking a 10-year campaign of abuse. For the next decade, Brookes, now 55, was plagued by people who seemed set on the goal of destroying her reputation – impersonating her online, stealing her photos to create accounts in her name, faking profiles that made it seem as though she was a paedophile and drug dealer. One of her tormentors, Nicky Wright of South London, was jailed for stalking in 2018. Another turned out to be a police officer, who was suspended. Yair Cohen, who touts himself as the first Internet lawyer, makes a living tracking down anonymous trolls online. Brookes was one of his first digital cases.

Meet the marine biologist whose video pulling a straw from a sea turtle’s nostril sparked a global movement
A marine biologist whose shocking video of a sea turtle having a plastic straw removed from its nostril sparked a global movement to have the single-use items banned is grabbing worldwide attention again for her work to save the endangered species. Passionate about marine life ever since her father bought her a pair of goggles, aged two, on a Greek holiday, after seeing life beneath the waves for the first time, Christine Figgener, 38, was entranced. Now working with her husband, Andre Castillo MacCarthy, 37, where they live in Gandoca-Manzanillo, Costa Rica , they protect nesting sea turtles and their eggs, as well as studying their migratory behaviour at sea, so they can better understand their biology and, hopefully, prevent them from dying out. She said: “These are beautiful animals who are up against a lot just to survive. We are working to protect the sea turtles as they now face extinction.” Christine, who is originally from Cologne, Germany , certainly … [Read more...] about Meet the marine biologist whose video pulling a straw from a sea turtle’s nostril sparked a global movement
