(19.3.2019)
Police Association president Chris Cahill said he couldn‘t comment on international forces, but said police across the Asia-Pacific region generally have a close relationship.

Not since Suez have we been led by such losers
The UK was renowned the world over as a proud beacon of parliamentary democracy that guaranteed the freedoms, rights and liberties of its citizens. The world looked to us when fascism, communism and tyranny stalked the earth. The British people respected their old and famous institutions and revered those who served in them with a mature and considered admiration. All of this was conditioned on the fact that we were assured that our representatives and institutions would govern in the interests of the people. We can no longer be sure of this.

MPs to choose between SIXTEEN Brexit options in chaotic vote tonight after seizing control from Theresa May

Jeder Anruf ein biometrischer Datensatz
Die US-Strafvollzugsbehörden legen in aller Stille eine Stimmdatenbank Gefangener an. Sie enthält bereits Hunderttausende Einträge. Das haben die Investigativ-Plattformen «The Appeal» und «The Intercept» herausgefunden. Einige Gefangene wissen es nicht einmal, dass ihre biometrischen Daten gespeichert werden. Und erfasst werden auch Gesprächspartner ausserhalb der Gefängnisse.
Interpol und Europol bauen Gesichtserkennung aus
Auch das BKA will die Gesichtserkennung bei Interpol nutzen. Nach Abschluss der datenschutzrechtlichen Prüfung soll die technische Umsetzung beginnen. Mit Polizei- und Gendarmeriebehörden aus Frankreich, Israel, Spanien, Großbritannien und den USA arbeitet das BKA außerdem in einer „Facial Recognition Working Group“ bei Interpol zusammen. Sie soll die Nutzung der neuen Datei in den 194 Interpol-Mitgliedstaaten befördern und Standards für die Gesichtsbilder entwickeln. Die Gruppe hat hierfür einen Leitfaden für Format und Qualität der an Interpol übermittelten Gesichtsbilder erarbeitet. Fachwissen kam dabei vom US-amerikanischen FBI.

What would be a good night for the Conservatives in the 2019 local elections?
But the most significant set of local elections are ones the Conservative Party won’t meaningfully contest, and were last fought not in 2015, but 2014: local council elections in Northern Ireland. All 11 local councils are up for re-election, and in an ideal world for the Tory party, these elections would confirm that the Democratic Unionist Party very strong performance in 2017 was not a passing phase but that the party is actually getting stronger.
After confirmed plans for an EU army, Guy Verhofstadt openly promoting a United States of Europe & now #Article13. How anyone can‘t see the direction of travel & still wants to remain in the EU is beyond me. Wake up. It‘s the governance of totalitarianism & fear.
What the hell is wrong with these people?
People on the ideological left are more likely to give the EU positive marks

Extending Article 50 better option than May‘s Brexit Withdrawal Agreement – DUP
A LONG extension to Article 50 is a better option than the UK Prime Minister‘s draft Withdrawal Agreement, the DUP said.
That would keep the UK in the EU for longer.
The party‘s Brexit spokesman Sammy Wilson said if a deal went through, Britain would have lost its right to leave the EU.
Petition to revoke Article 50 rejected after hitting 5,750,000 signatures
The Government has rejected a petition calling for Brexit to be stopped, which has gathered more than 5.75 million signatures.
Why bots probably aren‘t gaming the ‚Cancel Brexit‘ petition
The BBC spoke to three cyber-security experts about how likely it is that a number of the 3m signatures gathered so far are not genuine.
They all agreed that the petition‘s email validation process would be a deterrent.
