No lad. We never forget.”

🚨 UPDATE | Detectives are continuing a significant investigation into the disappearance of teenager Taylor Charlton in Barnstaple - four weeks after he went missing.
Enquiries have seen officers gather and review a substantial amount of CCTV footage from the area.
The last confirmed sighting of Taylor is on CCTV near a footpath close to Tarka Leisure Centre and the Seven Brethren car park, Barnstaple, at 10.41pm on Friday 8 May. He is seen heading in the direction of the River Taw.
Detectives are keen to speak to any remaining witnesses, who have not yet been in contact with police, who were in the area at the time and may have seen Taylor.
While all lines of enquiry remain open, there is no evidence at this time that a third-party was involved in Taylor’s disappearance.
Senior Investigation Officer Detective Inspector Charlotte Heath said: “Taylor is last seen on CCTV at 10.41pm near the footpath between the Tarka Leisure Centre and Seven Brethren car park, Barnstaple.
“We would like to hear from anyone who was in that immediate area at or around that time on Friday 8 May and thinks they may have seen Taylor.
“Detectives have obtained and reviewed a large amount of CCTV and spoken to many people already, but it is important that we are aware of all possible information at the exact point that he went missing in order to try to establish what has happened.
“Whilst every effort has been made to collect CCTV, if you are in possession of any CCTV or digital recording in that immediate area at the relevant time, please get in touch with us.
“Our thoughts remain very much with Taylor’s family, who continue to be updated and supported by specially-trained officers.
“We are grateful to the public for their significant support regarding this matter.
“We are aware of continued speculation on social media and would remind people to avoid sharing any unconfirmed information online as this makes the investigation more challenging.”
Taylor is around 5ft 8ins tall, of muscular build, with dark brown hair and a moustache. He was last seen wearing a bright blue fitted top, jeans and bright blue Nike shoes.
Taylor’s mum Zoe said: “Taylor, I am absolutely desperate for you to come home. I love you so much and I am worried sick about you.
“You are not in trouble. Please reach out to someone. We are all waiting for you with open arms.”
Taylor’s dad Alex added: “If there is anything anyone knows, please come forward. Taylor is a loving, loyal and special lad and we can’t wait to have him home again.”
If you have information that is urgent, please phone 999, or in less pressing circumstances please consider using 101, quoting reference number 50260117084.

During a break in flying training she completed the 16 week All Arms Commando Course, earning the green beret as one of only seven women in British military history to do so, and becoming the UK’s only serving female Royal Navy Commando.
She was killed on her final assessment of flying training. Her Pilot’s Wings were to be awarded in June 2026. She died alongside Lieutenant Commander Chris Gayson, 42, and Petty Officer Owen Green, 24.
Two people – including a former police superintendent - charged in connection with £720,000 investment fraud.

“Our prosecutors have worked to establish that there is sufficient evidence to bring the case to court and that it is in the public interest to pursue criminal proceedings.
“We have worked closely with the Metropolitan Police Service as it has carried out its investigation.
“We remind all concerned that criminal proceedings against these defendants are active and that they have the right to a fair trial.
“It is vital that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings.”
Farah Ullah, [DOB: 02/11/1982], of Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, is charged with fraud, contrary to the Fraud Act 2006, and two counts of transferring criminal property, contrary to section 327(1)(d) of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002.

To the Metropolitan Police,
You were the gold standard. The model every nation copied. When Scotland Yard spoke, criminals listened. That badge meant integrity. It meant courage. It meant the law applied equally, without fear or favour.
Look at you now.
You are a punchline. A cautionary tale. A force that clears up fewer than one in ten burglaries while your officers film TikTok videos in uniform. You arrested a man in Lancashire at dawn for a Facebook post in 2024 while grooming gangs operated in Rochdale for years with barely a raised eyebrow. You invented non-crime hate incidents so you could harass pensioners for wrongthink while real victims wait on hold.
You kneeled for mobs in 2020 while statues fell and businesses burned. You stood aside while extremists marched with impunity, then raided homes over memes. You have turned the oldest police force in the world into a politicised enforcement squad for the narrative, not the public.
You chose diversity dashboards over clear-up rates. You chose community engagement over enforcement. You chose the approval of NGOs and Twitter mobs over the safety of the people who pay your wages. You chose feelings over facts, and political safety over actual policing.
You did not lose your way. You sold it. Slowly, deliberately, one diversity training course at a time, one apology tweet at a time, one decision to stand down while crime happened in front of you.
The British people see you now. We see the double standards. We see the collapse in basic standards. We see a force that looks more like political commissars than police officers. We see officers who remember their oath sidelined while the ideologues get promoted.
You wanted to be political enforcers. Congratulations. You got your wish. Now you get treated like political operatives. No more benefit of the doubt. No more automatic respect. You burned that.
The mask is off. The receipts are published. The record is being kept.
We are watching.
A restaurant owner in the UK has begun deploying “anti-inbred spray,” a pork sausage in a spray bottle, against Muslims who continue to attack him and his shop for refusing to serve halal food.
🚨VICKRUM’S EX-CLASSMATE SPEAKS OUT !!!🚨
The death of Henry was coming from PURE HATE.
We now know very well that Henry wasn’t even a troublesome character.
He was most likely not even aware of how much it provoked Vickrum that he filmed him carrying his weapons around like kids carry their toys.
I honestly don’t know how I would have reacted if I had seen a guy walking around with swords as if it’s the most normal thing in the world.
My moral system would have struggled a lot to accept the fact that it wasn’t even illegal to walk around like that.
It’s just common sense that if governments allow suspicious and mentally ill people to carry weapons around to scare our society, then sooner or later horrible things must happen!!
In this screenshot ⬇️, an ex-classmate of Vickrum talks in detail about how horrified Vickrum’s classmates were every single day in school with him in class!
He was bringing all kinds of weapons into school every single day!!
Tasers, his knives and brass knuckles. He even used the taser on his mates (!!!) as ‘banter’!!
He acted violently.
When the teacher left the room, he’d throw chairs literally across the room with no care for who was in the way.
He stapled an unsuspecting mate’s arm in class!!
He jabbed random people with compasses to get a reaction out of them.
And no one ever tried to stop him from acting this way!!
And you, Mr. Starmer, still want to allow mentally ill people like this to keep carrying their weapons around, even bringing them to school to torture others like Vickrum even tortured his own classmates, @Keir_Starmer??
If you still insist that weapons with a religious background need to keep being legalized, then you are personally responsible for each new case occurring where even little kids get tortured and harassed by exactly those kinds of weapons!!!
IT DOESN’T HELP TO LOOK AWAY
THIS IS ONLY THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG!!

Today I have written to the Attorney General because I believe that the sentences handed down by the Judge on this Grooming Gang were unduly lenient.
We need to keep working for justice.
