TOUGH. UK we will only engage British armed forces when there's a legal basis to do so

Another lovely 'Raise the Colours' member, this time we have Ben Cullen.

He is due to appear before a jury at Reading Crown Court on July 1st having been found with 78 indecent images of children ranging from category A to C.

This whole movement needs
thoroughly investigating!

@jones_mog Ah now that makes sense. Delicious, I’ve done it with tomatoes and aubergines but never tried it with beetroot.

@BigStarDub @Biggy101273 @TheGriftReport What a strange question Bigstar, almost like you are questioning his friendship. That’s what real deep depression is, they pull away from friends are family. They hide how bad things really are. Most families only find out when it’s too late. Have some empathy.

Did you know that if someone takes a knife to somewhere – a park for eg – and murders someone, the starting point for their jail sentence is 25 years. But if someone kills in the home with a knife already at the scene, like in the kitchen drawer, the starting point for their jail sentence is 10 years less 

Why? It doesn’t make sense 

Well now after incredibly determined campaigning by the mums of 3 young women – women who were killed in the home by their boyfriend or ex – the law is being changed

Carole Gould, Julie Devey and Elaine Newborough, from the charity Killed Women have been fighting for SEVEN years for the minimum sentence for domestic murder to be increased

Now it’s happening. The gov says it intends to close the 10 yr gap so domestic killers face higher sentences

The photos below show Julie & Carole, Carole with her daughter Ellie, Julie with her daughter Poppy, and finally Megan

Ellie was 17 when she was murdered
Poppy was 24
Megan was 23

West End theatres will dim their lights in memory of #PenelopeKeith for two minutes at 7pm on Wednesday 1 July, via @SOLTnews . Fitting tribute to a great Dame who spun comic timing into artistic gold.

Bob Geldof did not want them on the bill.
He had agreed to include Queen in the Live Aid lineup only reluctantly, pushed by promoter Harvey Goldsmith. By the summer of 1985, Geldof was not alone in thinking their moment had passed. Their biggest hits were nearly a decade old. Critics had started writing them off. Privately, the band itself was wondering if it was finished.
Then came July 13, 1985.
What nobody watching that day knew was what had happened the week before. Queen had booked the 400-seat Shaw Theatre near King's Cross in London and rehearsed their 21-minute set down to the exact second. Not the general shape of it. The exact second. Six songs, every beat drilled until nothing could go wrong.
And then, reportedly, their roadies disabled the sound limiters on the PA before the set. Every other band on that stage was capped. Queen was not.
At 6:41 PM, Freddie Mercury walked out. White jeans. White tank top. Studded armband. Seventy-two thousand people erupted.
He sat at the piano and played the opening of Bohemian Rhapsody, not the whole song, just enough to set the crowd on fire. Then he stood. Strode to the microphone.
Radio Ga Ga filled the stadium. Seventy-two thousand people raised their hands in perfect unison, one of the most iconic images of the entire decade.
Then Freddie stopped the band. He turned to the crowd. He opened his mouth and sang a single sustained note.
""Aaaaaaay-o.""
And waited.
Seventy-two thousand people sang it back. He went higher. They followed. Higher still. They stayed with him. Back and forth, the note climbing, the crowd holding on, the moment stretching into something that felt almost sacred.
It would later be called The Note Heard Round the World.
They tore through Hammer to Fall, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, a shortened We Will Rock You, and finally We Are the Champions. The stadium shook.
Twenty-one minutes after they walked on, Queen walked off.
Bob Geldof, the man who had not wanted them there, said afterward: ""Queen were absolutely the best band of the day. They played the best, had the best sound, used their time to the full. It was the perfect stage for Freddie: the whole world.""
An estimated 1.9 billion people across 150 nations had been watching. In 2005, music industry insiders voted it the single greatest rock performance in history. Not one of the greatest. The greatest.
Authors and musicians who were there have said those 21 minutes may have saved the band itself, that Queen was on the verge of a permanent split, and that afternoon reminded all four of them what they were still capable of together.
Freddie Mercury died on November 24, 1991. He was 45 years old.
But on July 13, 1985, for 21 minutes, standing before 72,000 people under a London summer sky, he was the most alive person on earth.

The far-right grift needs to be studied.

For example, Tommy Robinson’s side piece Danny Tammo has been learning from the best. He raised money for a boat to "intercept migrants" and then asked for another £2k to "help get this boat out of this yard".

Another donation page was set up where he claimed he had 30k men signed up for his "patriot army" and that he needed £5k a month.

Someone leaked a voice note of him saying that Raise the Colours have to pay him a wage, cover his bills, and pay his rent.

"I’m a father to three fucking kids, mate, and I have to have an income."

"Here's everything, lads. Let's all do it together, and at the end of it, all the donations go to RTC account, and I can't pay my rent.

"I’m a businessman, and I ain’t got a business at the moment. I’m happy to become RTC, but RTC aren’t offering me anything."

@I_amMukhtar If he isn’t working but is getting money from donations that’s fraud. I’m guessing he’s claiming benefits and housing costs, if you don’t declare extra earnings it’s benefit fraud. I’m sure his local council would like to know what he’s up to.

After his mother passed away, they started feeding the baby Owl, which refused to eat, with a plush toy resembling his mother.

The Owl thrived and was eventually released into the wild. 🦉❤️

Tommy Robinson is now claiming
to be suffering from "hayfever".

Funny that, because when he sent me the voicenote in November with the very same "hayfever" symptoms...

The pollen count was "very low".

Does anyone know why life saving air ambulances have to rely on funding from charities

But helicopters for the Royal Family are paid for by the tax payer?
