Very few corporate media outlets are covering this story – it exposes their promotion of a false narrative during the general election campaign.

Judge condemns Amber Rudd for ignoring orders to release torture victim
A high court judge has said she is “deeply concerned” about the behaviour of Amber Rudd for failing to release a survivor of torture from detention despite repeated court orders requiring her to do so.
On Wednesday Mrs Justice Nicola Davies DBE presided over an emergency high court hearing to examine the home secretary’s delay in releasing an asylum seeker who had been tortured in a Libyan prison with electric shocks and falaka – beating on the soles of the feet.
“The court is deeply concerned,” she said. “Four weeks have elapsed since an order was made.”
She added that the home secretary had failed to provide a satisfactory explanation for the delays in releasing the man from detention.

Hwylio
Wedi bod yn hwylio yn ddiweddar. Rwy’n newydd i hwylio a dyma’r tro cyntaf i fi mynd ar trip hwylio go iawn. Neidiais i ar cynnig hwylio yng nghwmni cwch arrall o fy nghlwb hwylio.
Cyn gadael symudais i fy nghwch i’r pontwn er mwyn ei llwytho. Roedd y pontwn yn lyb ac yn llithrig ac i mewn i’r dwr es i. Yn lwcus roedd un o’r cwch arall ar gael i clymu fy nghwch i’r pontwn. Cyn i fi cwmpo i’r dwr, roedd e wedi fy rhybuddio “Mae’n llithrig yno”.
Caethon ni hwyl wych i Fae Caerdydd o’r dwyrain. Roedden ni’n erbyn y gwynt ac ‘tacking’ yr holl ffordd. Roedd fy nghwch i yn wych – yn hwylio’n agos iawn i’r gwynt.
Ar y dydd Mawrth moduron ni i Abartawe.
Dydd Mercher, hwylion ni o Abertawe yn bwriadu cyrraedd Dinbych-y-Pysgod. Allan o Fae Abartawe roedd hi’n arw. Roeddwn i’n ceisio aros a’r cwch arall ond doedd dim siawns. Ro’n i’n teithio yn llawer rhy gyflym i fy brofiad – yn cyffwrdd wyth a hanner not ar adegau yn ol y GPS a’r gunwalls yn lyb. Roedd fy nghwch yn hwylio’n wych eto a fi oedd yn dal hi’n ol a heb bod mewn rheolaith yn iawn.

I ffwrdd o Pentir Gofan (Worm’s Head) stopiais i’r cwch mewn ‘heave-to’ damweiniol. Roedd hi’n croeso cael saib am dipyn. Gallwn i weld fod Bae Caerfyrddin hyd yn oed yn fwy arw. Penderfynnais i dychwelyd i Abertawe. Roeddwn i wedi blino’n llwyr erbyn hyn felly modurais i yn ol.

Ges i dolffin yn neidio ar draws flaen y cwch am amser byr wrth moduro heibio Rhosili. Roeddwn i’n synny mor fach ydyn nhw. Mae gweld dolffin i fod i bod yn lwcus ond methodd y modur wrth agosai Bae Abertawe.
Roedd y cwch yn Marina Abertawe am wythnos wrth i fy trwsio’r modur, teithio gyda’r tren i hel darnau ac wedyn aros i’r llanw iawn cyn ymadael. Arosais i am llanw isel yn y bore cyn teithio’n nol i Fae Caerdydd. Doedd dim gwynt a modurais i yng nghwmni cwch arall yr holl ffordd nol.
Gadewais i’r cwch yn Fae Caerdydd am ychydig o ddyddiau a teithio yn ol adref ar y tren.
Wedi dychwelyd i’r cwch nos Wener i hwylio ar ddydd Sadwrn, dyma galwad “Rhys, wyt ti’n dod am paned?”. Roedd dau cwch o fy nghlwb hwylio yno hefyd yn bwriadu dychwelyd ar y Sadwrn.
Mae pobl a ffrofiad anferth yn fy nghlwb hwylio – un ohonyn nhw wedi hwylio square-rigger am tair neu pedair blynedd, un arall wedi hwylio’r Atlantic nifer o weithiau ac ati. Rwy’n ddiolchgar iawn eu bod nhw mor gyfeillfar ac annogol.
edit:
I’ve been sailing recently. I’m new to sailing and this is the first time I went on a proper sailing trip. I jumped at the opportunity to go sailing with another boat from my sailing club.
Before leaving I moved my boat to the pontoon to load it. The pontoon was wet and slippery and into the water I went. Luckily one from the other boat moored my boat to the pontoon. Before I fell in the water, he warned me “It is slippery there”.
We had great fun sailing to Cardiff Bay from the east. We were against the wind and tacking all the way. My boat was great – it sailed very close to the wind.
On Tuesday, we motored to Abartawe.
On Wednesday, we left Swansea Bay planning to reach Tenby. The weather was awful out of Swansea Bay. I tried to keep up with the other boat but there was no chance. I was travelling far too fast for my experience – the GPS read eight and a half knots at times and the gunwalls were wet. My boat sailed really well again. It was me holding her back and I wasn’t properly in control.

Off Pentir Gofan (Worm’s Head) I stopped the boat in an accidental ‘heave-to’. The short break was welcome. I could see that Carmarthen Bay was even rougher. I decided to return to Swansea. I was totally exhausted by now and motored back.

I briefly had a dolphin jumping across the bow as I motored past Rhossili. I was surprised how small they are. Seeing a dolphin is supposed to be lucky but the motor failed close to Swansea Bay.
The boat was at Swansea Marina for a week as I repaired the motor, travelled by train to get spares and then waiting for the tide before leaving. I waited for a low tide in the morning before travelling back to Cardiff Bay. There was no wind and I motored with another yacht all the way back.
I left the boat in Cardiff Bay for a few days and travelled home on the train.
After returning to the boat on Friday evening to sail on Saturday, there was a call “Rhys, are you coming for a cuppa?” Two boats from my sailing club were there planning to return on Saturday.
People at my sailing club have huge experience – one of them sailed a square-rigger for three or four years, another has sailed the Atlantic several times and so on. I am very grateful that they are so friendly and encouraging.
Amber Rudd plc trashing peoples’ computing devices
The privatised – presumably for the purpose of tax
evasion[sorry, avoidance] – Home Secretary Amber Rudd is trashing peoples’ computing devices.I have been a political activist for many years. I’ve engaged in totally legal political commentary. That’s why I have been regarded for years as a potential terrorist. I suppose it helps if you’re a bit of a capable and successful political activist too. Then there’s Cressida Dick echoing her previous master’s voice. Home grown again, “Fenians” again. I wish he’d just FO and die. The record’s stuck. It’s unstable not “apparently volatile” btw. I keep intending to do that video.
Theresa May and the Tories recent Investigatory Powers Act extends the UK snooping services snooping powers. They had huge powers before and did it illegally regardless. They can hack any of your connected devices now.
On Saturday, all of a sudden my phone’s battery discharged like a really-fast discharging thing. I know my phone and I’m familiar with how long the battery lasts. The battery discharged so much that I thought the phone was broken. I knew that something was up and it was so obvious.
I can’t send email from a webmail account. WTF? It’s sooooooo obvious.
Deliveries are delayed. I send an email from one of my email addresses to another one and it’s obviously going round the houses. They’re checking emails that I send to myself FFS. They’re not only watching but actively interfering.
So I’m buying a used part for my boat on ebay. It’s obviously a part for my boat. I’ve told the seller it’s to replace an exact part on my boat. It’s for my boat. If the snoopers were any good they would see that it’s for my boat and that I’ve been searching how to fix that part on my boat.
The seller’s saying she’s having terrible [trouble] with ebay and her puter. She’s getting really frustrated with her puter because these snoopy bstards are fekking it up for her because she has the misfortune to sell me something on ebay
to me. It looks to me like she’s using speech-to-text – she may well be blind – and these Fascist fukkers are fukking her computer.slightly later: I regard Theresa May, Amber Rudd, Cressida Dick and her former boss as the terrorists. I could be regarded as a counter-terrorist in that way. The above terrorists are not too keen on me recognising them as terrorists.
3/8/17 10am. Years ago – back in 2003 or 2004 – I’d wander around doing completely legal things and devices would be frying around me – mostly online tills in shops. Any shop I went into would have devices suddenly breaking down. These devices are usually very reliable of course.
I wondered if it was deliberate. It can be used like that of course, the message would be something like “You’re out of order disobeying the strong State and it’s glorious Leader. Shut up and Obey!”. They were attacking me while hiding then after all.
Having experienced all this BS – being treated as a pretend potential terrorist and being attacked by the State and the State’s repressive forces – I’ve come to realise that it’s all bullshit. Terrorism is a political tool and the politicians are the terrorists.
I’m a pretend suspected terrorist. I’m not really regarded as a real suspected terrorist. I’m a pretend suspected terrorist because of my political views and because I have been a political activist. Nobody seriously believes that I would ever do any real killing or explosive suiciding. I’m a pretend suspected terrorist so they can watch every move I make, so that they have advanced warning of my totally legal political actions.
16/8/17 My Android Tablet also appears to have been rooted. I use that for marine navigation.
I’m assuming that it’s UK govt, GCHQ, etc because that’s exactly what they do and I expect that there is that convention that nation states do not interfere with or murder a state’s citizens/subjects without that state’s acquiescence. Yes, that also applies to 911, 7/7 and particularly to the murder of Jean Charles de Menezes. I accept that it could be the US or a few other states on this basis.
21/8/17 I’m finding that my Android tablet is not connecting on trains and buses. It suggests that internet access on UK public transport is monitored by and under the control of GCHQ. It appears that UK under the Tories is a Fascist regime.
22/8/17 This all seems very provocative in a way which I don’t expect. It’s almost as if it’s provoking me to respond.
