The British Transport Police have made an appeal, launching a manhunt for this man.

On February 11, 2026 at 6.30am he was at Wansted Station in London.

He sexually assaulted one woman and then went on to sexually assault another at the station.

Why has it taken the police 6 weeks to release CCTV images of him? Do you know him? Another woman is said to have seen him there, and police are asking for her to come forward.

I absolutely detest how our country has been allowed to overflow with rubbish. The countryside filled with plastic. It is everywhere. Every roadside, caked with filth. We shouldn’t accept it as normal. It is not normal. It is vile. Clearly there needs to be a central clean up effort, but actually? The key message is this.

PUT YOUR RUBBISH IN A BIN.

People need to take responsibility. It’s disgusting.

This is so sad 😞. They won’t be happy until they’ve removed everything we have.

People living in Cossington, Leicestershire, say they are devastated after a 60-year-old oak tree planted to commemorate Sir Winston Churchill was felled to make way for a new housing development.

This is Sunita Chaudhary.
- She was married at the age of 3.
- To get an education, she walked 6 km every day to attend school.
- At 19, she was the only one out of 50 candidates in her village to pass the exam. She became the first female constable from her village.
- At the same age, she was diagnosed with cancer. She refused to give up and completed 6 months of chemotherapy.
- People mocked her by calling her “Ganji,” but they could not weaken her determination.
- After she recovered, she began visiting schools to teach children about personal safety, self-defense, and road awareness. Soon, everyone started calling her “Policewali Didi.”

In just 3 years, she has taught over 1,000 children and now works to stop child marriage.

Medical misogyny is so real. Yesterday my sister noticed her period pain was more intense than usual. So we went to the hospital. In the emergency room, there was a man with slight abdominal pain who was given Percoset and immediately sent his test to the laboratory, and when the doctor came to check on my sister, he said, “It’s just your normal period pain & symptoms” then gave her Ibuprofen and sent us home…. Today her symptoms got worse, and we went again, and guess what, it was an ovarian cyst!...they conducted an ultrasound on my request! .....a man with abdominal pain is more serious to them apparently and A woman’s pain is normalized like women are supposed to suffer!

Quote: 'Did you know when I was 16, the government made an agreement with me, that if I paid National Insurance every week, they would give me a pension when I was 60
I kept my end of the deal and am still paying in!!
On the 5th and 6th of June, the UK Government may be made to give back the right to retire at 60 to all those women who worked and paid their National Insurance.
Currently their pension payout is delayed until 66 or 67 depending on date of birth.
We all know that the pension age for women born in the sixties has been raised. Did you know a campaign called ‘Back to 60 Movement’ has won the right to a Judicial Review and is taking the DWP to the High Court? On the 5th and 6th June they will attempt to get women justice over non consultation in raising the pensionable age to 66 and above.
Michael Mansfield QC will lead the case and the argument for the movement. However, there does not appear to be any media coverage regarding this significant event. That is why we’re raising the awareness now. Let's hope for justice rightly deserved.
There appears to be a media blackout on this issue, which suggests that the government have put a block on the media reporting it. So let’s use social media for what it’s good at - share the hell out of this. Come on ladies - this is worth a great deal to you!'

This is a slip road onto the M2 motorway in Kent. But it could be anywhere in the country. The motorway network is a total cesspit and ⁦@NationalHways⁩ - with its £5 BILLION annual budget - doesn’t care what you think. It’s a national scandal that needs exposing.

[Undiscovered History @HistoryUnd]

In February 2015, BBC journalist Stuart Flinders was in Liverpool asking passersby about the 1967 Merseyside derby. By chance, he stopped Tommy Lawrence, unaware that he was the former Liverpool goalkeeper who had actually played in the match.

When asked if he remembered the game, Lawrence smiled and replied, “I do, I played in it.” The exchange quickly went viral, charming fans with its mix of humility and perfect timing.

Lawrence, affectionately known as “The Flying Pig,” died in January 2018. The moment endures as a much-loved piece of football folklore, capturing the magic of football’s shared memory.

Please everyone help. I am trying to do a Christmas miracle and make someone happy. Yesterday (21/12/25) in @Bullring we found this lost platinum wedding band. It is name and date engraved, and has more detail. I want to reunite it with its rightful owner. Retweets might help.

I have a pupil in my class (Year 6) who did this in about ten minutes. She's massively talented. Some ideas about how to help her move forward would be very much appreciated. Art isn't really my speciality.

This is a horrifying scandal and there should be an urgent inquiry established.

More than 2,000 trafficked children have gone missing from the care system

Love your library. When my violent ex smashed my laptop, stole my money & would stop me finding work, the library was all I had. They helped me write a CV, find a job, a CAREER and leave that twat. Libraries aren’t just books, they’re warmth, freedom and new worlds. #WarmWelcome

[dominic dyer @domdyer70]

So very true

Have you ever thought about this?

In 100 years like in 2125 we will all be buried with our relatives and friends.

Strangers will live in our homes we fought so hard to build, and they will own everything we have today. All our possessions will be unknown and unborn, including the car we spent a fortune on, and will probably be scrap, preferably in the hands of an unknown collector.

Our descendants will hardly or hardly know who we were, nor will they remember us. How many of us know our grandfather's father?

After we die, we will be remembered for a few more years, then we are just a portrait on someone's bookshelf, and a few years later our history, photos and deeds disappear in history's oblivion. We won't even be memories.

If we paused one day to analyse these questions, perhaps we would understand how ignorant and weak the dream to achieve it all was.

If we could only think about this, surely our approaches, our thoughts would change, we would be different people.

Always having more, no time for what's really valuable in this life. I'd change all this to live and enjoy the walks I've never taken, these hugs I didn't give, these kisses for our children and our loved ones, these jokes we didn't have time for. Those would certainly be the most beautiful moments to remember, after all they would fill our lives with joy.

And some of us waste it day after day with greed, selfishness and intolerance.

Every minute of life is priceless and will never be repeated, so take time to enjoy, be grateful for, and celebrate your existence.
