NO NEW World News Shocks: Global Headlines Fall Silent Outside UK and US

UK MP’S SHOCKING Scandal: Trapped in a Honeytrap

08 April 2024 — William Wragg, a prominent figure in the UK Parliament, has confessed to leaking fellow members’ contact details following a blackmail scheme. He was ensnared by a scammer on a gay dating app after sharing personal photos with someone he thought was trustworthy. This ordeal left him feeling “scared” and “manipulated,” according to his own words.

Nigel Farage blasted Wragg’s actions as “unforgivable” on social media, underlining the serious breach of trust involved. The scandal has ignited debates over personal behavior and security protocols for public officials. Treasury minister Gareth Davies recommended that affected parties report to the police, acknowledging Wragg’s apology but emphasizing the seriousness of his error.

The tactic employed to blackmail Wragg is identified as “spear phishing,” an advanced form of cyber-attack designed to filch sensitive data by pretending to be reliable sources. This event highlights the escalating menace of cyber scams aimed at high-profile individuals and their potential risks to national safety.

This incident serves as a stark reminder of the vulnerabilities facing those in power and underscores the importance of stringent security measures and personal vigilance in safeguarding against such threats.

EXTREME Hate Speech: Neo-Nazi Podcasters PAY the Price for Threats Against Prince Harry and Family

04 January 2024 — In a recent ruling, a London court has handed down sentences to two neo-Nazi podcasters. The charges? Inciting violence against Prince Harry and his young son. The culprits, Christopher Gibbons and Tyrone Patten-Walsh, are the hosts of “Lone Wolf Radio”. According to the sentencing judge, these men are “dedicated and unapologetic white supremacists”.

Gibbons, aged 40, was dealt an eight-year prison sentence. His co-host Patten-Walsh, 34 years old, received seven years behind bars. Following their prison terms, both men will be under probation for three years. Their podcast was a platform for spreading racist views along with antisemitic, Islamophobic, homophobic and misogynistic ideologies.

The duo didn’t just stop at propagating hate speech; they encouraged violent acts against ethnic minorities as well as individuals in interracial relationships whom they labeled as “race traitors”. Prince Harry’s wife Meghan Markle happens to be biracial. In one shocking episode of their show Gibbons even suggested that Prince Harry should face prosecution for treason while his son Archie was dehumanized as a “creature” that should be euthanized.

PRINCE HARRY’S Libel Case Crumbles: Judge Dismisses Royal’s Claims

08 December 2023 — A London-based judge, Justice Matthew Nicklin, recently dealt a blow to Prince Harry in his libel case against Associated Newspaper Ltd. The Duke of Sussex was unsuccessful in tearing down the defense’s claim that their article was merely an honest opinion.

This ruling follows another legal skirmish involving Harry. The crux of this battle is whether the government unjustly removed his security detail after he moved to the U.S in 2020. The prince contends that social media hostility and relentless media attention pose threats to him and his wife.

The Mail on Sunday and Mail Online ran an article about Harry’s legal tussle with the government over police bodyguards. Harry claims this piece was fundamentally flawed and slanderous, insinuating he fabricated details about his case against the government. Nevertheless, Associated Newspapers argued that their article was simply voicing an honest opinion without inflicting significant damage to Harry’s reputation.
