  • Mexico aims for a promise it can’t keep

    If there’s ever been an overactive imagination, on record, it’s the Mexican one. They don’t go by halves in this respect. Their latest plan (and, by what I’ve heard, it follows after a lot of them) is to pretend to have a universal healthcare system.

    Wow. Its long-suffering neighbour has barely scratched the surface of fixing its own approach to public healthcare in a large setting. There’s no hope for Mexico. It has less than 10% of its population under some sort of legitimate control. Many are unsettled, and displaced.

    Such a headline splash is fraudulent newsprint, readily reprinted by outlets harassed by lawsuits. In need of an alternate reality to cling to, the shoe fits. Sadly, Mexicans grow up without hope, and no problem solver exists in government to help them. The dream is just a dream.

  • Iran now has to play by its strengths

    It’s a short while since Baghdad and the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003, and yet the Middle East has entered into yet another period of turmoil, having seen the killing of Ali Khamenei, a larger than life figure and Iranian icon for so many years.

    The disablement of many secretive programs and the quiet, understated resumption of its rule by way of an inherited Supreme Leadership has shocked and destabilised a nation in a regional sphere that had believed it was rising to a sort of dominance.

    But Iran is in a struggle of its own. Its survival is based on what the future will be. It has to move out to reengage on new terms and the fruit of this will set its general priorities in place for an adjustment of its influence. Any move on this front is watched by powers eager for a development.

  • Iran shows a keener side online

    Iran is seeking to adjust the manner of communication at high levels, but not as a surprise endeavour and only as a part of its engagement with technology and how it connects up to the political landscape.

    There’s also an increase of activity in the Middle East in this respect. The legions of graphic designers, partly secularised but mostly because of education, are pushing through with meanings in new forms.

    The days of not understanding America intuitively are passing away, leaving much more scope for pressing in on daily events. This is crucial to enterprise in the region, embedding modern outreach with a knowing awareness.

    Iran having a part to play in this is different to a narrative that focuses in on simple means, but resourcefulness has driven their ingenuity a lot of late. This is the outcome of moves to join in, and be transparent to others.

  • Exclusive: GB News agitators

    In a stunning exclusive for Conservative News Site, a pair of agitators alleged of plotting their own network disruption against GB News and its outlets at specific points in time have been spotted.

    A pair of suspects alleged of seeking to hack or create espionage scenarios for GB News operatives and its outlets.

    They’re alleged to be guilty of seeking to source network-server help in India, putting it on a level of hacking or espionage crime.

    It’s believed they’re also both wanted on numerous other crime charges that haven’t progressed.

  • Rumours fly and lies swirl in Westminster

    A rumour mill is situated adjacent to Parliament, at least according to many people’s misperceptions.

    Its output has not only matched expectations but has set a new record for inciting people to know less in the last year, or so reports suggest.

    This isn’t true, of course, but it’s evocative of the humour of some of those that engage with the UK’s political system everyday.

    The ‘tablets of stone’ have previously included comments about George Osborne getting the top job at the Bank of England.

    Another had said Sir Tony Blair may likely get a job at the BBC (unlikely now).

    A late hot pick is that Rishi Sunak MP (Richmond and Northallertnon/Conservatives) is set to become Prime Minister – again.

    The last one is ridiculous of course, but it does the rounds anyway. This is the way of sticking things through the letterbox with too much vigour and not enough luck.

  • The Korea’s say things plainly to each other

    The situation or state of affairs between North Korea and South Korea is not often portrayed clearly in popular news media in the West.

    It’s not clear why this is.

    There are plenty of researchers that look into the matter and are able to communicate their findings clearly to media professionals in the same countries.

    The basic approach is to see that the two nations respectively attempt to state things openly that can be collected safely as secure information in both countries.

    This is a soft arrangement.

    It’s not meant for immediate interpretation in the West, but it’s possible to find out what it means in hindsight if work is done.

  • Caught: Criminal prediction agent

    In an exclusive for Conservative News Site, a criminal prediction agent alleged of running a global network of “Disturbance Operations” to interfere with any type of reporting coverage of crime has now been spotted.

    A suspect
    A suspect alleged of widespread manipulation of news and information through creating disturbances on the Internet around the world.

    He’s believed to have properties in Hong Kong and India. He’s also alleged to have secret network access to hotels in many other parts of the world.

    His assets are not thought to include Crypto, although it’s believed his criminal career may in time have mounted a challenge to the security of such trading.

  • Johnson may get to GB News yet

    Boris Johnson has long been positioned for a job at GB News, and rumour is that he may start soon. In spite of exits, tears, and drama, the former Prime Minister is in the running to take on his own talk show for the new channel.

  • The PM now wants to be a top blogger

    The Prime Minister is not known for being an energiser, but he’s taken a jab at his critics.

    He’s launched his own Substack newsletter.

    It’s a novel attempt to do it in his own way, in his own time, and on his own terms.

    It’s not for the feint hearted.

    The Labour blood runs through his veins thickly. It comes out strongly in his first post, titled “Politics that makes a difference”.

    It’s a lament of the UK’s state of affairs over child poverty. It tugs at the heart on an issue his party has campaigned on a lot.

    If you know someone who likes him in office, this new blog of sorts is for them.

    Why not recommend it as a Christmas gift? It’s certainly cheaper than buying something.

    The PM can be their top new influencer just in time for the new year.

  • Prince Harry isn’t done yet

    The pilloried not-podcast host Prince Harry – who is doomed to rise and fall on the tides of Netflix deals – hasn’t got an easy time for himself if recent Royal news is to be believed.

    The not-fascination in American media for his family – who are gleefully separated from their titles and duties one by one – is a Bonnie and Clyde newsreel masterpiece.

    It’s not accepted here so widely that (former) Prince Andrew is guilty, but in Los Angeles things like this drop like butter. It’s said it must play a part in the psyche, but we think Old Harry is a much tougher cookie.

  • Exclusive: Prince William in a “dating relationship”

    It’s all go for the Prince of Wales. It’s alleged he’s in a “dating relationship” in private. This means he’s going out with someone of his choosing, and he’s liking it, apparently.

    There’s no name yet. It’s previously been believed to be Lady Charlotte Wellesley, but as things go in London and elsewhere, it changes rapidly and we don’t know yet.

  • Caught: “Sky News” news gatherer

    In an exclusive for Conservative News Site, a known and recognised terrorist with links to Hamas has been spotted acting as a news gatherer for “Sky News”, a corporate outfit in London.

    A suspect alleged of terror offences spotted in Reading, Berkshire.

    It’s believed the individual is used to hold together a London-based operation that is now spread out between hotels and private residential addresses.

  • Caught: Fake Policing recruiter

    In a stunning exclusive for Conservative News Site, a fake Policing recruiter alleged to be known for sending applicants to media companies like Sky News instead has been spotted in Reading, Berkshire.

    A suspect in fake recruitment spotted in a McDonalds outlet in The Oracle, in Reading, Berkshire.

    He’s said to advise new Policing recruits to find work in Journalism. He earns commissions from the “sale” of each applicant from recruiters still at work in Sky News offices in the UK.

  • Life is a story of how it doesn’t work

    The UK is a fraught place. We have fears over a lot of things. Every day stories emerge of it going badly wrong. For some of us this only confirms our worst fears. It highlights the fragility of life.

    The stocks go down. The bottom line takes a beating. The investment proposal is sunk. The bank transfer doesn’t come through. The pay isn’t as good as we hoped. They’re just some of our anxieties.

  • Exclusive: Undercover Parliamentary staffer

    In an exclusive for Conservative News Site, an undercover reporter for Sky News posted to Parliament has been spotted in Reading, Berkshire.

    Two suspects: A staffer & her handler in Reading.

    It’s believed she’s part of a sex cult. She researches the Law for it. It’s believed her handler – a staffer of Sky News – uses her research for live coverage.
