#ALERT | Roads are closed this evening (Tue) around Sandy Lane Business Park, Radford, after the discovery of an unexploded WW2 bomb.
A 100m cordon is in place during ongoing work with Explosive Ordnance Disposal experts to assess the device and work through its safe disposal.
@KathyParr101 The current #tubestrike has nothing to do with pay, however, a decent pension in retirement should be the norm for all workers.
Punching down until we’re all left with nothing is a peculiar contemporary trait that will only lead to the return of the poor house and destitution.
If we’re making up titles, I, The Supreme Leader of @reformparty_uk, hereby announce that with immediate effect the party is disbanded. All members are to resign any positions they hold, and repay any public funds they have received.
@AngelaRayner The PM has shown time and time again that they are either not willing or not able to stand for Labour values.
Labour cannot deliver progress for our country without removing the rot.
@Conservatives If soldiers, or police, or doctors feel that their only option is to go on strike then you’ve messed up. You’re solving the wrong problem instead of leading.
This is so disappointing from @altontowers and others. For many autistic people queues are impossible. This is disability discrimination and I hope it's challenged in court.

🚨ICE agents are threatening to assault and illegally arrest U.S. citizens in Portland, Maine.
In the video, a man is legally observing ICE activity in his own neighborhood.
Agents walk up to his car window and ask, “Are you following us?”
The man replies, “Yeah.”
An agent immediately escalates and says, “What you are doing is called impeding federal law enforcement. It’s an 18 U.S.C. §111 charge. This is your first and only warning. If you continue to impede and follow us, you will be arrested.”
The man then correctly responds, “Yeah, but I’m not impeding you.”
Another agent jumps in and says,“You just openly admitted you were following us, so…”
And again, the man correctly explains, “I am following you. I’m not impeding you. I’m observing you.”
Which is a constitutionally protected right.
The agent responds anyway, “It is impeding.”
The man replies, “No, it’s actually not.”
At that point, the agents become visibly angry that he knows the law and threaten him again, saying, “This is your one warning. If you keep doing it, we will pull you back out and arrest you.”
Just to be very clear…
Following and observing law enforcement, without interference, is not a crime.
Threatening arrest anyway is an abuse of power.
Threatening to “pull him out” of his vehicle is a threat of unlawful force.
These agents are not enforcing the law, they’re misstating it, weaponizing it, and hoping intimidation will do the rest.
They don’t understand the laws they claim to enforce. They just parrot a few buzzwords and statute numbers, and expect the public to fold.
And when that doesn’t work, they threaten violence.
Because the biggest threat to an ICE agent is someone who knows their rights.
