Dutch Police lose control in city of Eindhoven to protestors of the current covid lockdowns.

Surprised there hasn't been more of this D.R.

Surprised there hasn't been more of this D.R.

I think it’s coming, I was chatting to a friend in LA yesterday, people are getting desperate, he has a friend who’s a hair dresser, who’s taking in clients one at a time, to try and keep food on the table, as they’ve had no help.
But it’s a full mission of cloak and dagger stuff as they’re scared of the government.
it’s almost at tipping point, as governments want to go back into lockdowns.

This is excellent re Brit perfidy in Libya and associated blowback.

Did the UK’s secret Libya policy contribute to the Manchester terror attack?

The official inquiry into the 2017 Manchester bombing has yet to probe the links between the terrorist, Salman Abedi, and UK covert action during the 2011 war in Libya – yet there is no point in the inquiry unless it asks difficult questions the British establishment would rather avoid.

On Election Day, voting takes place at polling booths designated by the Union Election Commission. Polling booths are usually situated in central, easy-to-access community areas such as schools and community centres. The current polling manual includes revised guidelines for accessibility for persons with disabilities.

The Union Election Committee will announce the location and openings hours of polling booths in the weeks before the election takes place. Polling booths are open for limited hours, so make sure to visit in time in order to cast your votes.

At the polling booth, you will be presented with a ballot paper for each seat that is being contested. For example in the 2020 general elections, as there will be voting for the Amyotha Hluttaw, the Pyithu Hluttaw and state and regional hluttaws, each voter will receive three ballot papers. The voter will be able to mark the box next to their preferred candidate’s name on each paper. Ballot papers that are unclear will be deemed invalid. This includes ballot papers with markings next to more than one candidate and ballot papers with no candidate marked.
