Europe's last Dictator declared winner of Belarus presidential election

       Lukashenko: coronavirus is psychosis  



The Belarus election commission reported on Monday that President Alexander Lukashenko won 80.23% of the vote while the opposition candidate Svetlana  Tikhanovskaya took 9.9%, despite a popular wave of support for the opposition candidate, whose political rallies have drawn some of the country’s largest crowds since the days of the Soviet Union. The ex teacher  Tikhanovskaya, 37, is the wife of the president's rival arrested and barred from standing. 

The election preliminary results released on Sunday with Lukashenko as the winner has prompted unprecedented protest in the country. Lukashenko, 65, who is dubbed Europe's last dictator has been in power for 26 years. He has vowed to quash any protest over the result.

Presidential candidate Svetlana Tikhanovskaya casts her ballot during the presidential election in Minsk on August 9, 2020.

“I will believe my own eyes – the majority was for us,” Svetlana Tikhanovskaya told reporters in the capital, Minsk, on Monday, after widespread reports of vote-tampering in Sunday’s election.

Tikhanovskaya said she considered herself the election winner not Lukashenko, and described the election as massively rigged. Her aides said the opposition wanted a vote recount at polling stations where there were problems. They also said the opposition wanted to hold talks with authorities about how to bring about a peaceful change of power.

MASS BREAST FEED PROTEST AT LONDON 5 STAR HOTEL

Image
40 women in London staged a mass breast feed protest outside 5 star hotel Claridge's. The reason for the protest was that staff of Claridge's Hotel told a mother Louise Burns to cover up while she was feeding her baby. After this incidence the leader of UKIP Nigel Farage when asked in a radio programme about women breast feeding their babies in public he said that a woman who wants to breast feed her child should sit in a corner to avoid offending people. So the women organised to breast feed in front of the hotel as a protest. If we do not hide when we eat why should a baby hide. I do not see why any one should be offended to see a breast on a baby's mouth. See more pictures below

                  We reported on this blog when a rapper August Alsina claimed that he had been in a relationship with Jada Pinkett Smith and that Will Smith gave his blessing. When he made this statement Jada Pinkett denied it. But She has come out to confess to having affair with August Alsina. She revealed this on her Facebook show Red Table Talk in a heart to heart talk with the husband Will Smith. She said it happened while the 2 were separated.          "We were over," she says. "From there, as time went on, I got into a different kind of entanglement with August." Mr Smith then pushes her, saying "an entanglement? A relationship."

On what Alsina said about Will Smith giving his blessing, making people believe they were in open marriage, Pinkett Smith said,
