Internal Revenue Service HQ bombed by YFF

This Morning 3 bombs packed with improvished shrapnel were detonated via remote by members of The YFF in retaliation to finance minister Kyllngworth's insistance that Yeuds and Onglians involved in resisting taxation be taken to court and forced to submit to the whim of government theft. The bombs collapsed the building killing 75 and wounding 200. The Commander of YFF issued a state commending the gentlemen responsible calling them 'Lions of Yeudism' and threating plenty more attacks in the near future should the government continue it's anti Yeudish policies. The YFF has published two new manuals one on tax evasion and the other on guerrilla warfare. A new book will be published on countereconomics soon.

Bailiffs move in on Onglian ratepayer strikers

In a move to crush the Onglian ratepayer strike, councils across the country have contracted in teams of bailiffs to force the strikers to pay their council rates. It is being reported that most of these contracted bailiffs are brutal and unsavoury characters, and more than a few are in fact trained members of the technically illegally but generally tolerated Inglian Volunteer Force (IVF).

Reports are coming in of bailiffs entering homes, trashing them, beating up the occupants and behaving in a generally intimidating way. Claims are also being filed alleging the bailiffs have taken far more money, or far more in property value, than they are entitled to.

The worst brutality has been seen in Valley County in Central Province, where the ratepayer strike had been strongest.

Overall, 11 Onglians are believed to have been killed, with injury numbers being much, much higher.

The Onglian Liberation Army (OLA) has begun targeting the bailiffs, branding them as "agents of the New Englian state" and "the IVF in bailiff costume". Yesterday, two of the bailiffs were killed in a car bomb planted by the OLA.


Onglian police officer hung for collusion with OLA/YFF ambush

Casey Ó Deargáin, an Onglian officer of the New Englian Constabulary (NEC) has been executed by hanging after being found guilty of colluding with the recent deadly ambush of a police patrol by the Onglian Liberation Army (OLA) and Yeudish Freedom Fighters in New Indrala.

Only a small minority of NEC officers are Onglians, and those who hold such positions tend to find themselves as isolated outcasts, despised both by the Onglian community they come from and by most of the Inglian officers they serve alongside.

The Onglian Police Officers Association, an organisation which was banned several years ago but still maintains a website hosted abroad, issued a statement claiming Ó Deargáin had been subjected to "a witch-hunt" and that "the proper procedures of justice were not followed". This was echoed by the Onglian Civil Rights Association, who claimed Ó Deargáin had "been convicted without a shred of real evidence by an all-Inglian jury which thinks all Onglians are guilty".

A second Onglian police officer, Mícheál Ó Maonaigh, was found guilty of colluding with the YFF in a recent raid on a small police armoury, also in New Indrala. He was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment. His conviction is also being questioned by civil rights campaigners.

Internal Affairs Minister Timothy Chetwoode faced calls in Parliament to end the recruitment of Onglians into the NEC on the grounds they are a potential security risk. He gave no commitments for the moment, but promised "all options are being considered".


Lord Protector thanks Trigunian observers for Agata Uí Banáin murder investigation

Lord Protector Rafe Shevington has praised Trigunian observers for their investigation into the murder of Onglian civil rights lawyer Agata Uí Banáin, which confirmed Internal Affairs Minister Timothy Chetwoode's theory that she was killed in a family row, rather than as a result of Inglian Volunteer Force (IVF) activity. "The death of Agata Uí Banáin is very sad," he said, "but the whole of Terra can now see that New Englia is an open society where the rule of law is fairly and impartially upheld - the claim that we deliberately let terrorists get away with murdering our own citizens is as absurd as it is offensive, and I am grateful to the Trigunian observers for confirming this".

However, members of Agata Uí Banáin's family and the Onglian Civil Rights Association, with whom they are co-operating, have accused the police of failing to take the inquiry seriously and refusing to answer many of their questions. They also claim they requested a meeting with the Trigunian observers, but were repeatedly fobbed off.

YFF operatives throws gas bomb into IVF HQ

This morning an operative from the YFF threw a gas canister into the headquarters of Inglian Volunteer Force as retaliation for the group of bandits role in the perpetuation of pogroms against the Yeudish community. The bomb managed to kill 15 and leave several incapacitated as a result of harmful exposure. Along with the canister with a message that read - "keep attacking our community and it will be your downfall. We are not your submissive little scapegoats. We are Lions of Yeudism. Whereas you are cowards. You beat the elderly, rape our women, and vadalize our houses of worship. Don't think we don't remember. You are not exempt from revenge.

Oswald von Thaller held the Thallerist Union Congress in Englia

Oswald von Thaller, a self-declared Metzist with thallerist characteristics held the so-called Thallerist Union Congress in an unknown location in New Englia.
Invited were the left-wing ringleaders of the Onglian Liberation Army as well as several other more temperate oppositional groups. The numbers of attendance were much bigger than anticipated and it is considered as a great success for oppositional forces in New Englia. National Party officials announced that "These rebellious and arrogant actions will have severe consequences, we will not allow a von Thaller scum in our great nation" after that statement the polls even in the largely Inglan dominated electorate showed that they support to some extend Oswald.

In response von Thaller held a speech shortly before the Congress dissolved.
"[...] This is our darkest hour, and we will destroy the National Party Dictatorship and their Luthori masters shall die by our hands. The Revolution does not wait comrades. Follow your Thaller into battle and achieve freedom, equality and sovereignty!"
Spectators were very excited to hear the speech and apparently rather supportive of the developments the TUC goes through.
Statistics leaked data about the member numbers of the Red Social Thallerist Party increasing tenfold. It seems like the future becomes more and more uncertain every day in New Englia.

New Englian Government announces early elections

To prevent more civil unrest the Englian Government came to the conclusion that a new election would show the people that the National Party has a righteous mandate to rule. Preparations have been issued and the political parties from all over the spectrum informed. Aside from the National Party, the Red Social Thallerist Party, the Metzist Front and the Democratic Party of New Englia are considered to be the major parties of the following election. They all run on a more or less revolutionary platform except for the National Party of course, they support the Status Quo.

Image

Oswald von Thaller has been invited to a leftist-sympathizer radio interview in which he practiced critic on the elections. "This is the last chance for the corrupt structures of the National Party to clinge to governing this nation, but the peoples will is different. Heil Thaller!" was the highlight of the interview.

Early Election halted because of Protests

Protesters against the discrimnating electorate policy of the National Party have managed to halt the election process.
The Authorities reported that the riots intesify more and more, they say if the curve continues this way, they'll have civil-war like incidents occuring in about five hours.
On the foremost front of the troublemakers is the Leader of the Red Social Thallerist Party, Oswald von Thaller. He and his blacksuits have occupied the plazas before some of the most important government buildings.

Image

Government officials tried to order the Military Police to dissolve the protesters but the General George Harrington disobeyed and declared that the Military is not going to intervene. Police forces are preoccupied with the protests all over the nation and far too spread out to deal with the blacksuits.

This morning justice prevailed as an IVF pogromist received his sentence and thus communion with death. Thomas Crowe, 36 was responsible for inciting a series of pogroms against the Yeudish community which resulted in the death of 10 people and the injury of 80. Crowe was also credited with bribing the Constabulary which eagerly turned a blind eye to the atrocities taking place. Furthermore he help staff the tax resistance suppression unit tasked with the arrest of those refusing to hand over their hard earn to a tyrannical government. At around 2 am he and his family were executed for crimes against the Yeudish Community.

Opposition Coalition takes over

The Military announced that it seized the power in cooperation with the Blackshirts and the Metzist Revolutionaries.
These three parties will now negotiate a deal to order the country new. National Party Official have been arrested by military police. Police Forces which were known for being loyal to the former government stated their rebellion but these splinter cells were exterminated ruthlessely quick by the new coalition in power. Most states and territories are now uncontestedly under control of the oppositional coalition.

Voting Helpers leaked some of the results of the election which was continued in some parts of the country during the protests and riots, the results were really far in favour of the Red Social Thallerist Party and this will probably ease the burden for the thallerist side on the negotiation table.
