I posted yesterday about the two Sudanese immigrant women who died crossing the channel. The MSM reported that they died from either being "crushed or asphyxiated" while on the boat, although no 'men' suffered the same fate.
And then you have this post from HJB News on X. I think I know which report I believe, and is more plausible...

Miliband's Secret. China's Opportunity.
Ed Miliband promised the public two things. Bills would come down. The grid would be secure. This week, evidence emerged that he has been actively suppressing analysis that undermines the first promise, while the architecture of his energy policy systematically undermines the second.
Start with the cover-up. Miliband scrapped zonal pricing last July, overriding his own civil servants who had backed the reform. He did so after wind farm developers warned it would reduce their profits and threaten his 2030 clean power target. He then promised a full cost-benefit analysis by the end of last year. His department took five months to respond to a Freedom of Information request, in breach of the legal requirement of twenty working days. It has since blocked release of the impact assessment, claiming the document is unfinished, while simultaneously insisting the policy is definitively closed. Those two positions are mutually exclusive. His department's own director admitted the public interest favours disclosure before refusing it anyway. The reason given for continued suppression: releasing the document might disrupt energy markets. No evidence was provided for that claim.
What the suppressed analysis likely shows is what independent research already suggests. Zonal pricing would have cut household bills by reducing the fees paid to wind farms to switch off when the grid cannot absorb their power. That wasted wind bill hit a record £1.5 billion last year. Miliband sided with the generators over consumers. The analysis that proves it remains locked in a ministerial drawer.
The grid security picture is worse. Britain's electricity network is being radically restructured. Hundreds of internet-connected generators are being added to a system that once linked a handful of large power stations. Each connection is a potential entry point. The chief executive of Hitachi Energy, which supplies transformers to the UK grid, has said plainly that cyber attack on power infrastructure is not a question of if but when. Poland's green energy network was penetrated by hackers, almost certainly Russian, through communications terminals embedded in thirty wind and solar farms. Britain is one of the world's top targets for hostile cyber attack, with around one in four European attacks aimed at British companies and utilities last year.
Against that backdrop, the sourcing of Britain's new grid infrastructure demands scrutiny it is not receiving. Most of Britain's critical electrical components, smart turbines, solar panels and switchgear, come from China. US intelligence services have warned explicitly against growing reliance on Chinese-sourced energy technology. Claire Coutinho has raised it in Parliament. The warnings have been ignored.
The question of who is advising the Prime Minister on these risks sits uncomfortably alongside the sourcing decisions being made. Jonathan Powell, the National Security Adviser, maintained extensive relationships with PLA-connected Chinese officials through his private consultancy before and during his government role. Every parliamentary question about his vetting arrangements and the content of those meetings has been blocked. The government's justification uses language identical to that deployed to block questions about Mandelson. Powell's vetting status has never been confirmed. The man responsible for advising on Britain's national security posture has undisclosed connections to the state whose components are being embedded throughout Britain's most critical infrastructure. Parliament has been refused the information needed to assess whether that is a problem.
Miliband says the public should be reassured. A minister who suppressed his own analysis, overrode his civil servants to protect wind farm profits, and is wiring China into Britain's critical infrastructure against the warnings of Britain's closest ally has not earned that word. https://x.com/JChimirie66677/status/2051019893299085470

🇺🇸🇪🇺 NATO is intensifying military propaganda in cinema, - The Guardian
- NATO representatives held three meetings with directors, screenwriters, and producers working in the film industries in Brussels, Los Angeles, and Paris. A meeting with members of the British Screenwriters' Guild is planned for next month.
- These meetings have already sparked accusations that the alliance is preparing to organize the production of military propaganda.
- Those invited to the meeting in Britain called it "outrageous" and "obvious propaganda".
- The letter received by the invitees mentions "three projects" that are already in development.

'Dodgy shops' surge across UK as vape and convenience stores tied to organised crime So-called 'dodgy shops' have spread rapidly across UK high streets, as well as complex criminal networks that underpinned them, according to Trading Standards.
A report by the organisation found that organised crime groups are linked to as many as half of vape and convenience stores, and a quarter of fast food takeaways in some areas of the country.
Up to a third of American candy stores in specific areas are also suspected of being a front for criminal activity, the organisation’s Hidden In Plain Sight report said.
It has published a map of high streets across the UK for dodgy shops, along with the 10 towns and cities perceived by its officers to be hot spots for OCGs, with Birmingham, Liverpool and London filling the top three spots. https://www.itv.com/news/2026-04-30/dodgy-shops-surge-across-uk-as-vape-and-convenience-stores-tied-to-crime-gangs

Christian Content Creators Face Prison in Germany:
Criminal proceedings have now been initiated against Niko and Tino, who run the small Christian YouTube channel "Eternal Life," on charges of blasphemy.
The case, opened under § 166 of the German Criminal Code, stems from a video from December 2024 in which they criticized aspects of Islam and drew attention to the growing antisemitism in connection with Muslim communities in Germany.
If convicted, they face up to 3 years in prison.
This development highlights the increasing restrictions on Christian voices in Europe that speak out on faith and culture.
Pray for Niko and Tino as they face this legal battle.
Pray for courage for all Christians in the West to boldly speak the truth.

You all recall Mustafa Kokoneh, the Libyan granted UK citizenship, who went on to be charged with attempted murder on two people, and assaulting two others.
Well after attending court a few times, and being kept on remand, he's unbelievably been bailed, with standard conditions, until his trial.
