THIS WEEK'S STORIES
From a myriad of news and feature articles published throughout the world each week, a selection is made to republish on Connect. From those selected, our local editorial team choose specific themes to share.
Our intention is to make available thought provoking articles on major topics of interest in today's world. Whilst we have no answers, we understand enough to know, we all need to ask searching questions.
We hope you find the selection valuably informative.
GUY FAWKES MAY YET HAVE IT
And Keir Starmer is now talking about mandatory reporting of child abuse. Reporting currently goes ignored - by police - local councils - and gov't. This subject is building like a Guy Fawkes Night To Remember!
BP-5023A
THIS STORY IS SET TO EXPLODE
Starmer appears to be muddying the waters. He talks about making reporting of child abuse mandatory - but fails to address the question of investigation and prosecution. This story may be set to haunt him.
BP-5022B
IT COULD CHANGE DEMOCRACY?
…that is, as we know it. Every day, people become more aware of the inadequacies of the UK's so-called democratic systems. Perhaps we have to wait for the next election for a major change - or perhaps not!

CRIMINAL RECORD CHECKS
An interesting quote was published once, suggesting - per capita - there're more persons with criminal records among parliament's SMPs and ex-SMPs than in the wider population. A stunning revelation if true!
BP-5021B
INCOMPETENT AND DISHONEST'
Starmer's gov't has been accused by Elon Musk and others of driving a police state. Over 3m UK citizens want him and his gov't out. How he responds to the debate on this - this week - will be interesting!

TIME FOR CHANGE COMING?
Could we imagine a completely different Upper House - instead of the Lords? A House of elected, 'true and non-political', representatives of the People - holding elected SMPs to full account on all things?
