A bit odd, don’t you think?

As soon as Muslims started immigrating to Japan, its Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples started burning down, just like the churches in Europe.

Somalian's in The UK -

75% unemployed
72% in social housing
One of the highest percentages of any foreign national for sex crimes.

What positives do they bring to the UK? 🇬🇧

Remember Sheraz Malik?

The Pakistani national who raped an 18 year old girl in a Nottinghamshire park and called her a “slut” repeatedly.

We had been waiting 5 months for his sentence - and now it is here.

Today, he has been sentenced to 10 years in prison and another 4 years on extended licence.

He could be out in 7 years and may or may not be deported. His application for asylum in the UK had not even been considered as he committed this offence less than 12 months after arriving.

Brezilya'da, 48 yaşındaki bir dondurma satıcısı, annesinin uyuttuğu yüzen bir tekneden 1 yaşındaki bir kız bebeği kaçırdı.

Bebeğe tecavüz etti, öldürdü ve savunmasız minik bedenini nehre attı.

Korkunç haber yayılınca, bebeğin annesi de dahil olmak üzere yüzlerce öfkeli yerli halk, şüpheliyi tutan polis karakoluna baskın düzenledi.

Tecavüzcüyü dışarı sürüklediler, dövdüler, üzerine benzin döktüler ve sokakta diri diri yaktılar.

Ministers Are Ignoring 15 Years of Their Own Burning Evidence: Our Letter to The Telegraph

[Moorland Association @MoorlandAssoc]

Defra has announced £30 million for nature recovery and left out the people who do much of the work: gamekeepers.

💷 We've written again to Parliament's Public Accounts Committee with one question - where does the money actually go?

Across England's moors, our members already manage blanket bog and the breeding grounds of curlew, lapwing, golden plover, merlin and black grouse. None of that comes from a press release. It comes from grazing, grip blocking, predator control and wildfire prevention, set to each site and repeated every year.

📉 The fear is the familiar one: funding swallowed by consultancy, partnerships and reporting long before it reaches the hill.

Defra's announcement names farmers, conservation groups and communities. The keepers holding wader habitat together and cutting wildfire risk are delivery partners, not an afterthought. Judge the spending by what changes on the ground.

🔥 Defra has just told the Court of Appeal that the burning licence system is a real, workable route to burn heather where it's needed.

We're going to find out if that's true.

The Court refused permission to appeal our challenge to the 2025 regulations - but its reasoning hangs on one point: this isn't a ban, because a land manager can still apply for a licence when burning is necessary.

So the whole regulation now stands or falls on whether that licence works on the ground, or only on paper.

That's where members come in. Where an application makes sense, make one - and record everything: how long it takes, what it costs, what's demanded, what comes back. Every delay and refusal is evidence.

The court door has shut. The Parliamentary one is wide open.

‘Travellers’ parked up at Burgess Hill cricket club. Even parking one of their motorhomes directly on the wicket

When are we going to get a crackdown on this criminal scourge?

[Yossi BenYakar @YossiBenYakar]

A Kurdish migrant in Germany was asked if he would fight for the country in case of war.
He laughed in the interviewer’s face.
His answer: “Never. I came here to marry a German woman, get German citizenship, and make German money. That’s it. I have no connection to Germany.”
He then mocked the Germans who let him in, calling them fools.
This is the open attitude of many migrants toward the countries that welcomed them: no loyalty, no gratitude — just exploitation.
This is what happens when a nation opens its doors without demanding real integration or allegiance.

SHE REPORTED CHILD ABUSE 181 TIMES. BRITAIN SAID NOT NOW, THANKS.

Sara Rowbotham was an NHS sexual health coordinator in Rochdale. Between 2005 and 2011 she filed 181 detailed referrals to Greater Manchester Police and social services.

Each one named victims. Each one described systematic rape and trafficking of girls as young as 11. Each one went nowhere.

She was not ignored because the evidence was weak. She was ignored because the evidence was inconvenient.

Authorities labelled her not credible. Her team was dismissed. The official reason given for inaction was community cohesion.

Read that again.

Community cohesion. While children were being passed between men like property, the priority was keeping things quiet.

She was made redundant in 2014.

A 2024 independent review confirmed every referral she filed was credible, substantive and appropriately communicated. The same review identified 96 men still considered an active risk to children. Still out there. In 2024. Because the original response scraped only the surface and called it a job done.

Five police officers refused to cooperate with the review. They were not charged. They were not recalled. They retired on pensions.

Sara Rowbotham got an MBE.

The system that failed 181 times got a press release about lessons learned.

If this does not alarm you, you have not understood it yet.

🦅 To deal with a goshawk taking poults from a release pen, Natural England's advice to the gamekeeper was: shoot at it.

Not lethally. "Shoot to scare" - listed as a non-lethal deterrent he'd need to try before NE would even consider a lethal control licence.

The goshawk is Schedule 1. Fully protected. The keeper had already said he wouldn't, because of the risks. NE's answer: show us you tried anyway.

So the rule is now - prove you've fired a gun at a protected raptor, then we'll talk about a licence.

Two questions NE can't dodge. How does "fire a gun near a Schedule 1 bird" get past police firearms licensing? And if scaring a goshawk with a shotgun is fine to protect pheasants for profit, why isn't the same tool offered to protect curlew and lapwing for conservation?

This is regulatory theatre.

He Punished Officers For Telling The Truth. Then He Was Arrested For Stealing From Them.

Mukund Krishna was the first civilian chief executive of the Police Federation of England and Wales. He was a former management consultant born in India who relocated to the UK in 2007 and had no frontline policing experience. He was paid £701,100 a year, more than twice the salary of the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police and thirty times the salary of a starting constable. Across 2024 and 2025 his total remuneration was £1.4 million. Some of the 145,000 rank and file officers his organisation represented were using food banks to feed their families.

On March 3rd 2026 the Police Federation publicly called for a minimum seven percent pay rise for officers, warning that morale and recruitment were suffering. The following morning Krishna was arrested by the City of London Police's Domestic Corruption Unit on suspicion of fraud by abuse of position. He has now been sacked. He will receive no further payments.

Before his arrest Krishna had used the Police Federation to do two things. Collect £1.4 million across two years. And punish officers who told uncomfortable truths about policing.

Rick Prior, the head of the Metropolitan Police Federation, was suspended in October 2024 after warning publicly that his members were increasingly nervous about challenging people from some ethnic minorities for fear of being labelled racist. His offence was stating precisely what the Henry Nowak case, the West Yorkshire Police sectarian policing story and the Rotherham and Rochdale grooming gang inquiries had all documented independently. Fear of a racism accusation was paralysing British policing. Prior named it. Krishna suspended him.

Richard Cooke was removed as chairman of the West Midlands Police Federation for posting a comment online disputing suggestions his force was institutionally racist. Krishna removed him too.

The High Court ruled both suspensions unlawful and a breach of Article 10 free speech rights. The Police Federation spent more than half a million pounds of its members' money defending the claim. Members who were using food banks. The man authorising that expenditure was collecting £701,100 a year and incurring legal costs exceeding £1 million in 2024 alone.

The problems were visible long before the arrest. In January 2025 Craig Hewitt, the Head of Civil Claims and National Board Member, resigned with a damning email exposing alleged long-standing financial mismanagement. A Tortoise Media investigation found that the federation had used 14 confidentiality agreements in settlements costing more than £700,000 and that multiple senior officials faced disciplinary proceedings after questioning Krishna's approach. Glassdoor reviews from employees described a toxic working environment and a marked increase in questionable dismissals and suspensions of very senior officials.

The pattern is now complete and precisely documented. A civilian management consultant with no policing background was installed as the first chief executive of the organisation representing rank and file officers. He suppressed the officers who named the two tier policing problem. He spent members' money silencing them. Warning signs of financial mismanagement were documented and ignored. And he was arrested the morning after his organisation demanded better pay for officers some of whom could not afford to feed their families.

"Across 2024 and 2025 Krishna's total remuneration was £1.4 million. Some of the 145,000 rank and file officers his organisation represented were using food banks to feed their families."

Japan… I’m in tears. 😭🔥⛩️

We’re only five months into 2026.

And already,

10 temples and shrines in Japan have been lost to fire.

One was founded in 807 AD.

Another was part of a World Heritage Site.

The causes may be different in each case.

Even so,

it feels like it’s happening far too often.

Places that survived for a thousand years

can disappear in just a few hours.

Every time I see another headline about a temple or shrine burning,

it feels as though a small piece of Japan’s history is disappearing.

And that makes me very sad. 🇯🇵😭
