MPs are continuing to ask the Government to pressure China into ending the abuses of forced abortion and sterilisation against the Uyghur population in China.
Pressure is mounting on the Government to confront the Chinese Communist Party as MPs draw attention to the population suppression measures taken against the Uyghur minority in Xinjiang, China.

Sometimes, just when I think it cannot get any crazier, I read something that makes me realise we are still on the spiral downwards and I don't know where it will stop.
I share with you some of the book reviews that appeared on a website I subscribe to called Goodreads. "
If this is a good read, I think I must be on the wrong planet.
But hey ho, suffice to say that I do not share the opinons of those reviewers who, quite frankly, don't deserve to be parents if this is the rubbish that they read to their children.
I prefer " A Bush Christening. "

I have lived on the Sunshine Coast for over 35 years and during that time have had several carpet snakes visit when we kept birds in an aviary. Very occasionally caught a glimpse of a red bellied black in the garden. Sometimes seen a big brown on one of the paths to the beach , but this year I have seen more snakes than in all the 35 years put together.
I don't know quite why it was that this poem sprang in to my head this morning. But spring it did and I found myself reciting it from memory, though I have not heard it in decades.
Back in the 80's ( the good old days ) my eldest daughter, then aged about 10, owned a copy of the book that beautifully captured the spirit of Banjo Patterson's wonderful bush poem. We gave it to her for Christmas one year and it quickly became her most treasured reading material. So much so that it would be read before she went to sleep and she was known to take it to the toilet to read and recite as she sat there on the throne in her private space.
At 9.41am on Monday 15 December 2014, Man Monis directed Tori Johnson (the manager of the Lindt Cafe in Martin Place, Sydney) to call 000 and say that all those in the cafe had been taken hostage by an Islamic State operative armed with a gun and explosives.
Eighteen hostages were held in the cafe for 16.5 hours. Over that period, 12 of the 18 hostages were able to escape in four separate episodes.
At around 2.13am on Tuesday 16th December, the cafe manager Tori Johnson was executed by Man Moris. Following the execution, police stormed the cafe and another hostage, Katrina Dawson, was struck by fragments of one or more deflected police bullets and died at the scene. The hostage-taker, Man Monis, was also killed in the firefight that followed the police storming the cafe.
Redhead always tells me she hates the alphabet people. She likes words. If you say GITMO she hates it. We may know what it means The Guantanamo Bay detention camp. but GITMO is quicker and easier to type.
GTFO is obviously rather rude language for those of us who were brought up to think that Get the F##k out was probably a little less than polite. Though I do have to confess to using the F word alot more these days than previously.
I was shopping with Redhead the other day and she opened the hatchback of my car and she hit herself on the head as it launched upwards.She did not say " Ouch that hurt. " She , aged 89 said " F#k!" Good on you Mum. We, in our family, call a spade a spade.
Words are vital.
Early on December 10, Jean-Bernard Fourtillan, a French retired university professor known for his strong opposition to COVID-19 vaccines such as those presently being distributed in the U.K., was taken from his temporary home in the south of France by a team of “gendarmes” — French law enforcement officers under military command — and forcibly placed in solitary confinement at the psychiatric hospital of Uzès. His mobile phones were taken from him, and at the time of writing, he had not been allowed to communicate with the outside world. The order for his internment appears to have been issued by the local “préfet,” the official representative of the French executive.
It has been a bloody awful year. So many elephants in the room that people are breathless, stifled and choking on Political Correctness. I used to joke and say that, one day, they would tax our air if they could. Well, in 2020, they achieved their goal. They didn't tax it. They stole it.
We are now expected to walk around like masked zombies from a B grade movie and be grateful to actually BREATHE.
I want to breathe and live without some interfering bastard from " THE GOVERNMENT " telling me how to live my life. But what is happening around the world right now is very much like that B Grade Zombie movie. And it is not going to be any better if that bitch Karmala steals the Whitehouse.
The United States of America is the most powerful nation on Earth because of the values and freedoms it upholds.
President Trump, you have made some powerful enemies.
You have challenged the elite, the Washington insiders, exposed the lies perpetuated by the mainstream media, and taken on the career politicians who do not represent the will of the people.
The same people who are trying to take the election from you are the ones trying to prosecute Julian Assange.
Everything you have achieved as President is under threat.
The Supreme Court has just rejected the Texas bid to challenge the 2020 election results in Pennyslvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin.Not good news, by any means. However, it does not mean that the War is over - merely a battle lost before the troops were able to engage fire. So what courses of action are left?
Rudy Giuliani, Trump campaign legal head said he felt it was a “terrible mistake.”
“The worst part of this is, basically, the court is saying, we want to stay out of this and … they don’t want to give them a hearing, they don’t want the American people to hear the facts,”
He went on to say
“These facts will remain in history unless they get resolved. They need to be heard, they need to be aired, and somebody needs to make a decision on whether they’re true or false. And some court’s gonna have to have the courage to make that decision,”
