The police now concede it wasn’t a ‘fight’ but an ‘assault’.
They are finally investigating the men they allowed to flee.
This wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t for the footage shared on this platform.
One of many such cases.
And to think Government ministers are boycotting the platform and trying to control what appears on people’s social media.
This was clearly a serious failure of policing. Why won’t the Home Secretary summon the Chief Constable to explain themselves and why they tried to cover it up?
It’s another egregious case of two-tier policing and it has gone unchallenged by this rotten government.
This nonsense will end under Nigel Farage and Zia Yusuf when Reform UK re-establishes equality before the law.
I wonder if any of the media will ask me about it this morning…
It beggars belief!!
The Rochdale grooming gang leader walks free after serving only 14yrs and there’s nothing to be done as he can’t be deported.
Yet they passed emergency legislation on pubs in days.
Changed Manchester election laws overnight.
Rewrote Covid laws in 5 mins.
But for the most horrific crimes imaginable they did nothing.
Maggie Oliver is right. This is devastating for the victims and horrifying for the rest of us.
Fix it now.
MPs must be allowed to scrutinise how taxpayer's money is spent without fear of being sued by recipients or being threatened by others.
We should not be spending tens of millions of pounds helping Lebanese police, instead of properly funding Lincolnshire police.
My speech today.
The Sun reports that 83 asylum seekers are being moved into 21 new-build homes on an estate locals believed was intended for affordable or social housing.
Britain has a housing crisis. Prices are miles ahead of wages. Waiting lists grow. Young people cannot afford to leave home.
So is this what “ending hotel use” looks like — simply moving the pressure into communities already short of homes, schools and services?
Poor border control has consequences. Reducing hotels has consequences too.
Operation Hexagon:
They built a police op to hunt whistleblowers, not the grooming gangs abusing bains in Oldham.
A joint effort by Greater Manchester Police, Oldham Council & Labour politicians - targeting those who exposed the scandal instead of the abusers.
Why the media blackout?
Andy Burnham was the Mayor!
From @Telegraph today:
“two jailed ringleaders of the Rochdale grooming gang scandal, Qari Abdul Rauf and Adil Khan... have… been stripped of their UK citizenship but cannot be deported to Pakistan because they have renounced their Pakistani citizenship.”
… and Pakistan refuses to take them.
What trade sanctions and visa restrictions are we going to place on Pakistan until they change their mind?
SHE NAMED 270 ABUSERS. THE COUNCIL GAVE HER A DIVERSITY COURSE INSTEAD
In 2001 a Home Office researcher called Adele Weir mapped a child abuse network in Rotherham. She found at least 270 victims and named the men running it. The Hussain family was on that list.
Rotherham Council and South Yorkshire Police had the names, the cars, the addresses. Their response was to tell Weir to never mention Asian men again and book her onto a two day ethnicity and diversity course.
A few months later her files vanished from a locked office.
Computer records were altered too. Nobody was ever charged for that either.
It took until 2016 for Arshid Hussain to get 35 years and Qurban Ali to get 10.
Fifteen years after Weir handed the council the names on a plate.
The Jay Report in 2014 confirmed 1400 children were abused in Rotherham.
The Casey Report in 2015 called the council not fit for purpose and pointed straight at a culture that put political correctness above child protection.
This keeps happening because the playbook never changes. Raise the alarm and you get managed. Stay quiet and you get promoted.
Weir did her job. The people whose actual job was protecting children sent her to a workshop.

Spare us the sanctimonious lecture. In 2015 you were on Lesbos welcoming illegal boat migrants into Europe. Now you’re Home Secretary preaching “Britain has always offered sanctuary” while small boats keep landing and British taxpayers get the bill. Britain is full. The economy is screwed. Services are collapsing. Rape gangs scar our towns. Close the borders. Return the boats.
No more lectures thank you, your open border past is showing.
How did Southampton Police manage to charge disabled veteran Matt Styler with violent disorder and assault police? How did they procure a decision to proceed with the prosecution? The thugs grabbed Styler, pulled him over, then smashed him ‘Russian style’ with their riot shields.
Has Shabana Mahmood lost her mind?
This week, she is set to announce a ‘Homes for Ukraine’-style migrant scheme for conflicts all around the world.
For context, that scheme took in over 200,000 Ukrainians.
This must not stand.
What nations do Labour have in mind?
Sudan. You know who is Sudanese? Deng Majek, the illegal migrant who murdered Rhiannon Whyte - stabbing her 23 times with a screwdriver.
And Mohamed Harun, a refugee who raped a woman and told the judge sentencing him “fuck England”. In fact, over a third of Sudanese criminals in prison here have committed sex offences.
Mahmood also wants to prioritise Eritrea.
We’ve had rapists and attempted murderers from Eritrea these past few years. Eritreans here are more than 20 times more likely to account for sexual offence convictions than British citizens.
No doubt Labour will open the floodgates to thousands of Palestinians too.
Labour say they’ll cap the number of people in the scheme at the tens of thousands. But, over time, they’ll all bring in their extended families. The ‘chain migration’ will be catastrophic.
It's all modelled on a Canadian scheme that's let 400,000 migrants in, and nearly 100,000 in the last five years alone. In fact, the Canadian Government have paused their scheme because it’s so unpopular.
Labour have no mandate whatsoever for this. If Burnham wants one, he must call a general election.
The British people have made it abundantly clear: we don’t want anymore migration like this.
When it comes to so-called ‘asylum seekers’ from nations very different to our own, we are long past full.
A Reform government will reverse this ridiculous scheme.
Or, better yet, the whole thing should be cancelled now.
This week Labour government is treating us as fools
They’re putting illegal immigrants into brand-new homes which hard-working British youngsters could not even dream of affording
No wonder so many illegal immigrants cross the Channel
Illegal immigrants should be deported, not put up a brand-new homes
Residents were told that the £250k newbuild homes on village estate were ‘meant for social housing.’
That was a lie. 83 asylum seekers will be moving into them, dupping it ‘migrant street.’
We’re paying for this whilst some hardworking taxpayers could never afford these homes.
Don’t DARE say ‘cannot be deported’ yes he bloody can! Parliament is sovereign and could change the law!
This man has been convicted of 30 child rape offences, ‘cannot’ be deported because of legal protections dating back decades?
Parliament created those laws. Parliament can repeal those laws. They just don’t want to. Ask why?
Hundreds of English towns still carry an Anglo-Saxon word over 1,000 years old.
If a place ends in "-worth", its name comes from the Old English word "worþ", meaning an enclosed homestead or estate.
These settlements began appearing during the Anglo-Saxon period, around the 7th century, and many have kept their names ever since.
The first part of the name often tells you who founded or owned the settlement.
- Tamworth means the enclosed settlement on the River Tame.
- Kibworth means Kiba's enclosure, named after an Anglo-Saxon landowner.
- Kenilworth probably means Cynehild's enclosure, preserving a rare Old English personal name.
- Aylsworth means Ægel's enclosure, keeping alive a personal name no longer used today.
Unlike many modern place names, these are not simply labels. They preserve words spoken by the people who first settled and farmed the English landscape more than a thousand years ago.
Every time you pass through a town ending in "-worth", you're looking at one of the oldest surviving pieces of the English language.
Does your town have an Anglo-Saxon place name?

Every leftist insisted that I left out the context and that he must have instigated it and thrown bricks at them
Here's what actually happened: He was sitting on a wall for 30m, and when the cops decided to push into the crowd, he didn't move
Jurors were told 'serial predator' Simon Levy was convicted of two sexual assaults in 2021, and another 11, between April 2022 and May 2025, for which he was convicted earlier this year.
Bournemouth is where England has gone on holiday for a century and a half. Seven miles of sand, the pier, the gardens running down to the front, the deckchairs and the donkeys and that particular English happiness of a cold sea and a warm afternoon. Generations learned to swim there. It is about as gentle a place as this country has ever made.
In May 2024, a teenage girl was raped on that beach. Another was sexually assaulted yards away, by the Oceanarium. And between January 2025 and March of this year, Dorset Police recorded eight sexual offences in the town whose suspects came from a single source: the asylum hotels.
These men were placed in Bournemouth deliberately and without vetting - lodged at public expense in a seaside resort by a Home Office that has turned the English coast into an overflow car park for a system it cannot control, and that never once asked the people of Bournemouth whether they consented to the experiment. The ministers who designed it pay none of its price. It falls on a 14-year-old girl who will never walk the seafront again without looking over her shoulder, and on every mother in the town now measuring the distance between her daughter and the water.
A country shows what it values by what it's willing to sacrifice. Britain has decided, in practice, that the safety of its own girls on its own beaches is an acceptable price for not being thought wrongly of by the people who run its asylum policy. Everything we've learned about Labour governments great and small over the past two years - not to absolve the Tories of their share of the blame - rings aloud, from Lizard Point to Glencoe, with the richness of their misogyny. Bournemouth beach and what's been done on it in the past couple of years is one of their hatred's premier emblems.
So what now? You can read this, feel a burble of disgust rise in you, share it perhaps with someone you trust, and let it, and yourself, sink back into the general hum of a country going wrong - and if that is your answer, then it is also your verdict on yourself. Anyone who can tolerate such things happening with a frowning face and a repost is someone who has lost their fight.
The nation that built Bournemouth - the pier, the promenade; the very machinery of English summer - did not build it so that its granddaughters could grow up measuring the distance to the water.
Those hotels will not empty themselves. They stand, and fill, and stand again, until there is a political force serious enough and strong enough to close them for good; and a force like that is made of people, or it is made of nothing. That is the work (I know; I helped one get functionally shuttered last year).
And I built Progress to channel those possibilities into something which can serve the average, decent Briton according to their wish.
It needs you in it: your hours, your money, your talent, your sheer bloody refusal to hand this place over to those, whether they come from without or within, who would do it harm.
So take what you feel for that girl, and that beach, and that town, and stop letting it drain away into the gullet of your timeline. Get up off your knees and put yourself and your righteous animus to work. Build the thing that drives these men from our coast and these cowards from our government - because the alternative is to keep scrolling while the most gentle place God ever made becomes a place our own daughters are taught to fear.
