Make Vladimir Putin’s Wagner Group warlords a banned terror organisation, demands Labour
VLADIMIR Putin’s warlords — the Wagner Group — should be a banned terror organisation, the Labour Party is demanding.
The band of mercenaries is often described as the Russian president’s private death squad and is accused of slaughtering civilians in Ukraine.
Known for recruiting Nazi thugs and criminals, it acts outside the law and has been fighting in Ukraine since 2014.
But the Russian ministry of defence supplies the group with weapons.
If the UK made it a banned terror group, then it would become a crime to belong to the group, back it or carry its logo publicly.
The call comes after the world marked the first anniversary of Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said: “The Wagner Group is responsible for the appalling atrocities in Ukraine and across the world.
“No one in the UK should be allowed to belong to the group, support it or promote it.
“One year on from Putin’s illegal invasion of Ukraine, we need to hold those responsible for supporting its barbaric agenda to account.”
The US banned the group last month.

1950s TV ‘OLLIE’ PUPPET & ALIEN GREY Haunt ‘Night Terror’ Experiencer
A Memphis, Tennessee man describes his ‘night terrors’ after going to the hospital emergency room as a boy. The repeating nightmare haunted him for years, culminating in one last terrorizing night.
The following account was recently forwarded to me:
“Here’s my story. I was 8 years old living with my parents outside of Memphis, Tennessee in the late 1950s. On this day it was a warm summer evening. My parents were next door talking to the neighbors. All the kids were running around and playing. The neighbors had a station wagon parked in their driveway and the tailgate was down. I wasn’t watching what I was doing and while running I tripped and went face-first into the tailgate. I split my lip all the way down from my nose through my lip. My upper lip was laid open so I had to go to the hospital. I was terrified of needles and fighting the nurses as they tried to give me a local anesthetic before stitching me up. I was a strong little kid, so three nurses pinned me down and I remember one nurse saying we’re going to play Cowboys & Indians. We’re going to tie you up. They strapped me down, from head to toe. They gave me the shot in my lip, sewed me up, and I went home.
After that, I began experiencing night terrors. I attributed that event of getting strapped down and my lip sewed up as the nexus of the night terrors. The nightmare was always consistent. I am at my grandparent’s house with all my cousins, like we always did, sleeping on a pallet on their living room floor on the old rug she had there. She’d lay a blanket down and put pillows out. I would lay there with a huge rock on my chest and I can’t move any part of my body. I can see up to the top of the rock and over the rock pops a figure. The face is of a character in a TV series that was popular in the late 50s called ‘Kukla, Fran, and Ollie.’ It is a creepy little character, a weird puppet with a snaggle tooth. The face is looking over the rock and he’s laughing at me. He’s also talking to me but I can’t hear him. I know he’s talking because his mouth is moving.
Then I see a hand come over the top of the rock, then an arm, and then a shoulder. A figure pops its head up and it’s a figure with bony hands. This thing had a teardrop shaped-head and it had big black almond-shaped eyes, just like the pictures you see of an alien Grey. This was before anyone had ever described alien encounters or abductions! I see this thing look over the top of the rock and it starts to come toward me. At that point, the dream stops and I would wake up in a panic.
The night terrors started to wane when I matured and became an adult. I got married, started raising a family, and I didn’t have that dream for almost 50-something years. That was until this past year. One night, my wife had gone out of town. I was here at home with the dogs just working and relaxing. I’ll read a book for a while, then I’ll watch a TV show and go to bed.
Well, that’s what I did. That night, I had the same old nightmare return. I haven’t had it for all those years. I wake up, but not in a night terror state. It’s totally dark. No outside light coming through the windows. I started to think that I am still asleep and dreaming. Then I see a figure standing in the doorway of my bedroom and I see its arm up against the wall. I look at this thing and I’m again wondering if I’m awake or if I’m dreaming?
The next thing I remember I’m walking through my house with a firearm and I’m checking the house. The dogs are not alarmed at all and are asleep in their beds. I walk back to my bedroom, put the pistol away, and get back in the bed and I fall asleep. It was probably the best night of sleep that I ever had!
The nightmare I had experienced that night was exactly the same as I had those many years ago. Why I just had one more nightmare is a mystery because I have had no more since then.
One quick note. A few days after this experience, I was in my office working. I had the TV on. Then I heard someone mention Fran Allison, who was the woman from the ‘Kukla, Fran, and Ollie’ show. I looked up and there was the face of the ugly Ollie character from my nightmares. I didn’t panic, but I quickly turned the TV off.” P
NOTE: This account really hit a nerve with me. I remember watching the ‘Kukla, Fran, and Ollie” show reruns as a kid. It would totally freak me out! I just wonder how that Ollie character puppet affected other kids? I never had nightmares about the character, but I did experience terrifying manifestations at night. Lon

Great British Railway Journeys among shows flagged by counter terror scheme ‘for encouraging far-right sympathies’
SOME of the UK’s most beloved TV shows have been flagged by counter terror programme Prevent.
Hit shows like Yes Minister and The Thick Of It and even Michael Portillo’s Great British Railway Journeys were bizarrely described as “encouraging far-right sympathies”.
Great British Railway Journeys with Michael Portillo was among the materials flagged by Prevent for ‘promoting right-wing extremism’[/caption]
The list also included the works of William Shakespeare[/caption]
Meanwhile, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare were placed on a list of “key texts” for white supremacists.
A report by the programme’s Research Information and Communications Unit (RICU) said that extremists posted “reading lists” on online chat boards.
The document shared a list of these “important texts” under pictures of Nigel Farage and 1930s British Union of Fascists leader Oswald Mosley.
Works from BBC’s 1990s political thriller House of Cards to classic film The Dambusters to John le Carré’s Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy made the rankings.
House of Cards screenwriter Andrew Davies said that he had thought the list was “a joke” and emphasised that his show was a satire of the Right.
Historian and broadcaster Andrew Roberts told the Daily Mail: “This is truly extraordinary. This is the reading list of anyone who wants a civilised, liberal, cultured education.
“It includes some of the greatest works in the Western canon and in some cases – such as Joseph Conrad’s The Secret Agent – powerful critiques of terrorism. Burke, Huxley, Orwell and Tolkien were all anti-totalitarian writers.”
Meanwhile, noted author and Sun columnist Douglas Murray was shocked to discover that one of his own books had been flagged.
He wrote in The Spectator: “A number of books are singled out, the possession or reading of which could point to severe wrongthink and therefore potential radicalisation… It seems that RICU is so far off-track that it believes that books identifying the problem that it was itself set up to tackle are in fact a part of the problem.”
He called the report “pathetic” and called for “sackings by the score” over its unusual findings.
The list comes after a damning review into Prevent by William Shawcross.
Mr Shawcross found that the scheme applied a “double standard” to Islamist terror threats compared to far-right issues.
His report said that Prevent had highlighted material that “fall well short of the extremism threshold altogether”.
It added that the programme had prioritised right-wing terrorism over its Islamist counterpart.
Home Secretary Suella Braverman slammed the scheme for having “defined right-wing extremism too broadly” in a way that included the “respectable Right and the centre-Right”.
A spokesperson for the Home Office said: “The Home Secretary made clear that Prevent will now ensure it focuses on the key threat of Islamist terrorism, as well as remaining vigilant on emerging threats.
“We’ve accepted all 34 recommendations [from the Shawcross report] and are committed to protecting our country from the threat posed by terrorism.”
