  2. Alfie Meadows, the young man who was nearly killed in the police kettle on 9 December

    As Meadows was leaving the Kettle and it's been proved that he wasn't hit by a polcie truncheon now, it might have well read

  3. VR: There were toddlers at the last UKUncut protest I went to! Very sweet.

    Johnpaul: the Alfie Meadows case is still extant, and there has as yet been no proof that he was not hit by a police baton.

  4. Red your article and the comments in the Independent.
    First of all congratulations.
    Second, as an anti-system journalist you can not spend too much time and energies trying to answer the mega mountain of low level comments -crap- that your articles attract.
    This is a weakness that it is not hard to spot. I noticed that since you join NS your language and vocabulary has changed and you have become more aware of troll criticisim -how it is called nowadays.
    Anyway your strongest point is the directness of language and not being afraid of calling the shots. You probably realized that you are in a unique position of been at the top but reporting the class point of view. Your style of journalism is as refreshing as it gets.
    PS: Don't be afraid to get it wrong....fuck them...

  16. I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
