The sheer stupidity of this is very difficult to understand.

This hasn’t gone viral the way it should.

Jamie Corry, an Irish lad from east Belfast, has lost his home of 13 years after masked rioters set fire to cars outside and it engulfed his house in last night’s violent chaos.

He stood right there and begged one of them:

“This is my house. This is my house.”

They didn’t care.

They burned it anyway.

“They’ve done it to one of their own.”

These racist, uneducated thugs and street urchins destroy everything in their path. They don’t care who gets hurt: locals, families, their own community. Just mindless arsonists ruining innocent lives with no excuse.

**THIS STORY IS STILL WILD**: Just days ago, Prince William’s social media was full of inspiring videos about protecting nature and helping communities thrive.

The fans lapped it up, calling him a visionary.

As usual, nothing could be further than the reality. While he is playing the environmentalist on Instagram, his Duchy is quietly selling off the historic Bradninch estate in Devon. Multi-generational farming families have been left "enormously stressed" and facing an uncertain future.

The public is being told one thing while the Duchy does the exact opposite behind the scenes.

I’ve been a delivery driver for Pizza Hut for six years. You see a lot of strange things in this job, but you also see a lot of lonely people. There’s one regular, Mrs. Gable. She’s 84. She orders a small pepperoni pizza every single night at 5:30 PM. Last Wednesday, I pulled up to her driveway. The porch light wasn't on. That was weird. Mrs. Gable always leaves the light on. I knocked. No answer. I called her phone. No answer. Most drivers would have just left the pizza and walked away. We’re on a timer, after all. But my gut told me something was wrong. I tried the door. It was unlocked. 'Mrs. Gable?' I shouted, stepping into the hallway. I found her on the living room floor. She had fallen hours ago and couldn't get to her phone. She was weak, dehydrated, and terrified. I called 911 and held her hand until the paramedics arrived. 'I was just so hungry,' she whispered to me as they loaded her onto the stretcher. I visited her in the hospital yesterday. She looked small in that big bed. 'I didn't order a pizza today,' she said, looking worried. 'It's on the house,' I told her, placing a small box on her tray table. I’m not a doctor. I’m just a guy who delivers pizza. But sometimes, paying attention to the small routine things—like a porch light being off—is the only superhero power you need.

"Jean McConville's children —ten of them—lost their mum in '72, snatched by the IRA. Left alone in Divis Flats, they fended for themselves till social services dragged them off. Then came the real horror: Rubane House, De La Salle, where Billy, Tommy, Jim got beaten, stripped, sexually abused by brothers, teachers, even Fr Brendan Smyth. Billy called it 'nightmare'—threats to stay quiet, no escape. The others? Same hell—cared for by the State that failed them. No justice, no apology. Just silence.
Not only did they lose their mother they lost their childhood.

Abused by the PIRA, neglected by the state.

Never forget what they did, these children deserved better.

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Epstein survivors just announced they will release their own list of names.

“We know who abused us. We saw who came and went. This list will be survivor-led—for survivors.”

The government stalled.

Now the victims are doing it themselves.

“The duty of candour is one of the fundamental standards below which care should never fall. It did with Laura" - This comment in a letter from the coroner to CQC has sparked a raft of new actions by regulators years after the family first raised concerns.

[Jacqui Deevoy @JacquiDeevoy1]

This headline from this issue of the Daily Mail - which I’ve had on file for many years - is from 2012. It’s referring to the Liverpool Care Pathway, a hospital protocol which was banned in 2014 for being barbaric and inhumane.

Shockingly, it was reintroduced by Matt Hancock under the title of NG163 in April 2020 despite protests from doctors and professors.

In short, this death pathway involves the withdrawal of food, water and essential meds and the administration of a killer combination of a benzodiazepine (usually midazolam) and an opioid (usually morphine) given via injection or syringe driver.

It’s been renamed since but is still being used, often on patients who are nowhere near the end of their lives.

Activist Julie James, who I’ve known personally since 2021, says: “Liverpool Care Pathway aka End of Life Care brought back into the spotlight throughout the COVID Pandemic along with blanket DNARs and overuse of opiates like Midazolam and Morphine.....Please sign Petition below for an investigation into End of Life Care abuses especially on the elderly

Imagine women having the audacity to have an opinion on NI society. Imagine women having successful careers. Jealous, boys? We see yis 👀

Beggin yis to learn how to argue & criticise without resorting to pathetic bullying. It’ll take effort & maturity but we’re rooting for ye.

There is nothing in the Epstein files that matches the depraved evil of the Kincora scandal. Lord Mountbatten was one of the Kincora abusers. To begin to understand it, click here👇

It looks so effortless. Like anyone could do it. No way.

After spending the night in hospital with my daughter, who is very unwell but not life threatening, I don’t want to hear another word about how great the nhs is.

The nurses have not looked after her at all. Loud unnecessary conversations throughout the night, lazy can’t be arsed attitudes, no explanation of what’s happening, at all, no desire to offer reassurance or comfort, not one question about whether she wants to sit up or lie down. We are being made to feel like everything is too much and we should be grateful for less than the absolute minimum.

She asked for more pain killers, as it’s been six hours. “We will come at six, as it must be six hours unless you’re in pain” (it can actually be four) we explained the doctor says to make it regular, she’s also had morphine and that she is in a lot of pain. “If you dont wait until six the next lot will be hours and hours and hours” I ask what time the last lot was as we think it’s been a really long time. “11:13, so she can wait until six, unless she’s in pain” I say that that’s six hours ago. “Yes so at six we will come round” I have to say “no, at six it’ll be nearly seven hours, she’s in pain now, please can you go and get the pain relief now”

She goes. When she returns, rather than coming round to the side of her bed to give a patient medicine, on a drip, she leans from the bottom of the bed and motions for my daughter to get up and take it from her.

I have to remind the nurse that she’s in hospital because she’s unwell and in agony. “Oh I didn’t know, I’m new to this ward” this ward is uneventful, nothing is happening. She must have read my daughter’s chart to give her the tablets. What sort of nurse gives tablets from the bottom of a bed?!?!

Imagine I wasn’t here? How many patients would have felt despite the pain they should take it from her? Imagine my daughter was a frail or vulnerable patient?

The entire experience has been god awful. The hospital is very empty, with wards full lit with no patients in them.

It’s utterly utterly shit.

@WASPI_Campaign @UKLabour @CommonsWorkPen @leicesterliz I was listening to them making the excuse that people are living longer. When it dawned on me, that they are judging it with people who had a much earlier retirement age. Women's retired at 60. Those extra years will take a terrible toll 😪
