We protect the kids - not the other way round.

@OrevaZSN Until you actually understand the mechanics of a hotel and cleaning them….

@davelloyd1980 @Vincexse We don’t even have high schools…? 🤦‍♂️

[Jonno 🏏⛷🍻 @Freejonno99]

@DuncanStott @JohnnyCHasa This is where his whole position unwinds.

[Jonno 🏏⛷🍻 @Freejonno99]

@pabloangeli Whatever

[Jonno 🏏⛷🍻 @Freejonno99]

@FabrizioRomaxno That’s a proper insane thing to say. Want to park it until after - fine - say you will be dealing with it after. Boxing yourself into a stupid by adding that extra is fucking dumb. Where do they get these administrators?

[Jonno 🏏⛷🍻 @Freejonno99]

@andyburnham Haha - absolute ratio.

[Jonno 🏏⛷🍻 @Freejonno99]

@CPSUK I think you fail to understand the people’s desire for free speech to be of the highest of rights and lack of desire for totalitarianism via utterly subjective rule this law. The legal test is utterly subjective and being misappropriated by government and police.

The ZOOMED IN FOOTAGE shows it clearly.

Cody Harper is halfway to his feet, still stumbling up from a beating, when an officer rushes him and pins him against the shutters. She never says she's police. He's in pure fight-or-flight, still thinking it's another attacker.

So he swings to get free.

That's it. That's the whole crime they're taking him to court for.

He's at Birmingham Magistrates Court on JULY 23. That's a first hearing, not the trial. He enters his plea, and if he pleads not guilty, he can take it to a JURY. Twelve ordinary people, watching that same footage.

Prison is unlikely for a first-timer. But that was never really the point. A conviction still leaves him with a criminal record, and depending on how it goes, that can trail him for years, turning up on the background checks employers run before they hand you a job.

For a lad who was jumped in the street, that's the real cost here. Not a cell. A mark against his name he did nothing to earn.

Now the bit that should stop you cold.

Watch the SECOND officer. She walks straight up to the men who beat him, has a word, and lets them stroll off FREE. Then comes back and helps arrest the lad they attacked.

Those attackers? Weeks on. Never even arrested.

1:30am, Broad Street. Cody, 20, is set on by a group. One floors him. Another swings at the back of his head. The police are right there. They don't chase the men doing it. They grab the VICTIM.

Then the officer snarls at him, you're going to walk to the car, you f***ing dick. Try that in the street yourself and see how fast you're nicked.

Then came their statement. No concerns over the officer. And please, stop sharing the footage.

So X's own readers pinned a note under it. The footage disproves the police's account. Share it far and wide, to get justice for the man arrested. Fourteen million have seen it now.

The police asked you to look away, and the public fact-checked them on their own post.

This force is in special measures. Graded INADEQUATE on investigating crime and protecting the public. HALF the investigations inspectors checked had failed. They may have failed to log 46,000 uses of force. Their Chief Constable walked out in disgrace in January. Their crime-prediction tech gets it wrong 8 times out of 10.

It’s not just Birmingham.

Forces everywhere got flooded with green recruits in a hiring rush while the experienced ones walked. Training and vetting couldn't keep up. So now young officers with barely any life experience are making split-second calls they aren't ready for.

Then there's the guidance. After Henry Nowak, the police are reviewing their own anti-racism policies, because officers are so busy second-guessing the optics of race, they miss the job right in front of them. Protect the victim. Arrest the attacker.

Remember Nowak? Handcuffed as he lay dying, because his killer cried racism first and they believed the liar.

Same instinct. Grab whoever looks like less trouble. Miss the actual crime.

That's not one bad officer. That's a broken force, green recruits, and a rulebook with its priorities upside down.

They found time to charge him. They still can't find the men who beat him.

Nobody's had a trial. Cody's owed his day in court like anyone. Say that plainly.

But watch that second officer let his attackers walk, read the note the public stapled to the police's own words, and ask yourself one thing.

Who are the police actually protecting here.

Because it isn't him.

@SlotIsABadGoth @Jamesblade1889 Mexico only ranked 3 behind and playing at home at altitude. I know who I would rather have faced.

@RyanRozbiani As a professional, offside is singular.

@donmcgowan It doesn’t remotely pass the sniff test so pardon me if I keep my mind open in this one…

[Mike Solana @micsolana]

the purpose is not to remove young people from the internet. the purpose is to remove anonymity from the internet in a country where the government routinely punishes dissent with jail. the british caliphate is no longer free.

[Jonno 🏏⛷🍻 @Freejonno99]

@leicesterliz So wait - The Online Safety Act was just a Trojan horse for broader censorship and central control. There I was thinking it was just to protect kids…

[Jonno 🏏⛷🍻 @Freejonno99]

@BumbleCricket Clearly more to it though than just being out bumble.

[Jonno 🏏⛷🍻 @Freejonno99]

@owenjonesjourno You portray yourself as a man of principles, however….

[Jonno 🏏⛷🍻 @Freejonno99]

@Keir_Starmer Out of touch as evidenced by the ratio!

[Jonno 🏏⛷🍻 @Freejonno99]

@narindertweets No because Tim Allen did know and he is the representative for #10. I don’t know if Starmer knew but the official line was that #10 don’t know until Tuesday and that is a flat out lie.

[Jonno 🏏⛷🍻 @Freejonno99]

@Rhammified @DavidPBMaddox @JohnRentoul Wrong - the lie is that #10 didn’t know. That is clearly false. Their Chief comms officer was informed. The protocols around that failure are a completely separate item.

[Jonno 🏏⛷🍻 @Freejonno99]

@CrisisStephen @DavidPBMaddox @adamboultonTABB Not relevant. Number 10 knew by virtue of this exchange. Therefore they lied about just finding out.
