Oulu District Court on Monday issued Oulu parliamentarian Sebastian Tynkkynen 70 day fines—amounting to 4,400 euros—for inciting ethnic agitation.Tynkkynen was charged with agitation against an ethnic group after publishing his texts on social media in 2017.Prosecutors said his writings slandered immigrants and asylum seekers, and asked for the court to impose fines on Tynkkynen. The Oulu MP had denied the charges.Tynkkynen had said that the texts were part of his local election campaign, in which he said he published information sent to him by citizens concerned about immigration.Tynkkynen has two previous convictions for incitement against an ethnic group, handed down in 2017 and 2019.
Finns Party leader Riikka Purra said the latest conviction will not affect Tynkkynen’s position in the party, where he is one of three deputy leaders.“He has been elected to represent the Finns Party leadership on behalf of the membership, so this [conviction] has no effect on that,” Purra said.
The Board of Deputies of British Jews, commonly referred to as the Board of Deputies, is the largest and second oldest Jewish communal organisation in the United Kingdom, after only the Initiation Society which was founded in 1745. Established in 1760 by a group of Sephardic Jews, the board presents itself as a forum for the views of most organisations within the British Jewish community, liaising with the British government on that basis. Notably, while Lord Rothschild was President of the Board of Deputies, the Balfour Declaration was addressed to him and eventually led to the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine. It is affiliated to the World Jewish Congress and the European Jewish Congress. Its current president is Marie van der Zyl who, due to holding this position, also sits on the Executive Committee of the World Jewish Congress....The Board of Deputies of British Jews was established in London in 1760, when seven deputies were appointed by the elders of the Sephardi congregation of Spanish and Portuguese Jews to form a standing committee and pay homage to George III on his accession to the throne.[2] Shortly thereafter the Ashkenazi Jewish congregation from Central and Eastern Europe similarly appointed their own "Secret Committee for Public Affairs" to deal with any urgent political matters that might arise,[3] and safeguard the interests of British Jews as a religious community, both in the British Isles, and in the colonies.[4] They soon began to meet together as occasions arose, and then on a more frequent basis; by the 1810s they appear to have united as one body.[5] It was named the London Committee of Deputies of British Jews.
Attorney Calls Ahmaud Arbery Murder Trial a 'Public Lynching' of Defendants
Kyle Rittenhouse was seen over the weekend checking out the rib platter at Smokin' Jerry's, it appears, all gussied up and grinning after his homicide acquittal.How do we know? Because Evan Power, the Republican Party of Florida Chairman of Chairs, posted a photograph on social media, that's how....Oh, yeah, and use every opportunity possible to fawn over Gov. Ron DeSantis?“Look who is free in the free state of Florida!”That was actually Power's tweet accompanying the photo of Rittenhouse and several others dining at the fine smoked meat establishment in Placida, which is just south of Englewood, home of the Brothers Flynn....Why? Because a generic tweet does nothing for DeSantis, the only person Power was trying to impress. Power wanted to remind the world that Florida is “free” from masks and mandates and our great governor has saved the kingdom from doom and despair once again.
“Look who is free in the free state of Florida!”

Greg Abbott’s COVID-19 orders designed to curb the spread of the coronavirus....Luther is running for House District 62, a Sherman-area seat, where she’s challenging Republican incumbent Rep. Reggie Smith in the March primary. She previously ran for Texas Senate.
