How Britain stole $45 trillion from India

And lied about it.

There is a story that is commonly told in #Britain that the colonisation of #India – as horrible as it may have been – was not of any major #economic benefit to Britain itself. If anything, the administration of India was a cost to Britain. So the fact that the #empire was sustained for so long – the story goes – was a gesture of Britain’s benevolence.

New research by the renowned economist Utsa Patnaik – just published by Columbia University Press – deals a crushing blow to this narrative. Drawing on nearly two centuries of detailed data on tax and trade, Patnaik calculated that Britain drained a total of nearly $45 trillion from India during the period 1765 to 1938.

As a result of the wars unleashed by the U.S. after September 11, 2001, 38,000,000 civilians were displaced.

This is the second highest result in world history. Only World War II resulted in more refugees.

Direct military aggressions, the so-called "war on terror" which led to the creation of ISIS, and economic strangulation have all led to disastrous consequences for the people of a number of states in the Middle East and North Africa, forcing ordinary people to flee their homes, cities, villages and states to other countries.

According to a report https://t.co/MLXyekTZTQ by the Watson Institute for International Studies (an interdisciplinary research center at Brown University, Rhode Island, USA) and with the assistance of Boston University:

1. #Afghanistan - 5.9 million refugees
   
2. #Pakistan - 3.7 million refugees
   
3. #Yemen - 4.6 million refugees
   
4. #Somalia - 4.3 million refugees
   
5. #Philippines - 1.8 million refugees
   
6. #Libya - 1.2 million refugees
   
7. #Syria - 7.1 million refugees
   

The report is based on data from 2001 to 2020 + some data collected in 2021.

It is based on the UN data, U.S. documents and information from public sources.

However, the report itself states that 38,000,000 is a very conservative estimate and in reality, the figure can reach from 49,000,000 to 60,000,000, which actually reaches the figures of World War II.

...

To these processes can be added the huge number of refugees from #Ukraine after the U.S.-backed coup d'état and civil war that broke out there.

Alarm sounded over 'prison-like' conditions in UK #immigration centres

A new report has urged UK authorities to make a raft of improvements inside immigrant detention centres, including detention conditions and staffing issues.

That's according to a new report by the European Committee for the Prevention of #Torture (CPT) released on Thursday.

During a visit to the country between March and April 2023, it flagged up several issues surrounding the uncertainty of how long migrants will be detained, "prison-like" conditions in centres and the treatment of those displaying symptoms of mental illness.

The UK government blasted the report, saying it did not "recognise much" of its content.

Nigel Farage comments on the likelihood of #Britain gearing up to fight in a #war against #Russia. He was asked whether Russia going in to Ukraine was because the West was seen as weak, and he cited the abysmal withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan under the leadership of Joe Biden as one reason. The best thing Nigel Farage said about Ukraine-Russia was that it's time for everyone to get round the negotiating table.

There was also some talk about Donald Trump's win in New Hampshire

#Oman is the only country in the region that has closed its airspace to American and British planes bombing Yemen

Currently, Oman has closed its airspace to aircraft from the countries of the anti-Houthi coalition, which also includes the #UnitedStates, #Britain, #Australia, the #Netherlands and a number of other countries.

What is interesting is that Oman has long-standing military-political relations with Britain and the United States, but nevertheless did not support the operation, unlike Bahrain, which made its military bases and airfields available to the troops of the anti-Houthi coalition .

Almost 60 years after British nuclear tests ended, radioactive particles containing plutonium and uranium still contaminate the landscape around Maralinga in outback South Australia.

The right to protest is under threat in Britain, undermining a pillar of democracy

• For holding a sign outside a courthouse reminding jurors of their right to acquit defendants, a retiree faces up to two years in prison.
• For hanging a banner reading “Just Stop Oil” off a bridge, an engineer got a three-year prison sentence.
• Just for walking slowly down the street, scores of people have been arrested.

They are among hundreds of environmental activists arrested for peaceful demonstrations in the U.K., where tough new laws restrict the right to protest.
