A blazing Sammy Woodhouse exposes a @GMB producer who told her not to mention the race or religion of the Pakistani Muslim men who raped and trafficked thousands of girls like Sammy.
Exactly why the monsters got away with it for so long!

[Allison Pearson @AllisonPearson]

Right, time for the Truth.
The smoke and mirrors and blatant deceit going on in the asylum system is horrifying.
Nothing the public is told is reliable. Hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants are unaccounted for. Home Office hasn’t got a clue where they are.
Government is shovelling migrants out of asylum hotels and giving them money to find a place to stay in the community. Desperate to look like the backlog is coming down.
Asylum caseworkers are granting leave to remain to known sex offenders from Eritrea, Sudan and Afghanistan because they are not allowed to refuse applicants from those “unsafe” countries.
It’s a sick joke.
The safety of women and children is at risk and these bullshit graphs are shared to prove how things are improving.
Things are NOT improving. Asylum caseworkers know it’s a ticking timebomb. Another Belfast attack can happen any day.

Last year, a video went viral of a scared, 12 year old girl in Dundee.

She was waving weapons, shouting at a migrant to leave her alone.

Almost immediately, many on the left were calling this girl a liar (and worse). They were saying the “far-right” were whipping up ‘anti-migrant hate’.

People like @HumzaYousaf & many more called it ‘bullsh*t’.

Many, including people like @jdpoc while calling her a liar & talking about her ‘hatred’, showed pictures of the little girl. Just to make sure everyone knew who the ‘liar’ they were talking about, was.

A fundraiser for the girl was mocked, suggesting she’d use the money to buy “machetes and IronBru”

She was a child. Their posts were seen by hundreds of thousands of people.

She wasn’t ‘hate-filled’, she was scared.

Yesterday, her version of events was proven to be true. She was sexually harassed by a migrant and another child physically assaulted too.

The man and his sister were prosecuted.

How shameful that children need to arm themselves for protection.

How shameful that adults will deny their reality.

How shameful that some people are so desperate to defend migration into this country, that they will literally mock children who are victims of their crimes.

Shame on you all.

I’ll be fascinated to see how many of you publicly apologise to the girl, in the same public way that you called her a liar.

I won’t hold my breath…

I hope this girl is ok.

Totally agree! When @Casey_Review and I met last year this was the basis of the conversation…. So to see that only “child prostitution “ offences were included was absolutely a cop out by the government! Yet again! The easy option!

So many child victims of the “grooming gangs” that I’ve supported over almost 15 years have long lists of convictions for public order, minor offences which they were charged with when the police/social services SHOULD have been protecting them instead!

It’s much easier to prosecute a child than pull together a lengthy investigation of a sophisticated organised network of abusers! Cheaper. Less resource intensive! And so that’s what happened!

Shocking! Inhumane! Neglect of duty in my opinion and that’s what I’ve said for 30 years, even as a cop! And this is exactly what happened to many of the Rochdale girls of course, ruining lives! Preventing them moving forward, struggling to move beyond their abuse.

So it’s really good to see Louise casey reiterating this and of course reading @fionagoddarduk and Jamie Leigh share their personal horrific stories hits this point home again.

And keeps the pressure on those in power who constantly drag their feet and do nothing to bring meaningful change!! 😡

This really worries me

A month ago in Wales I suffered a ruptured aneurysm in my abdomen. I lost over 2 units of blood

But the Welsh ambulance service refused to send an ambulance. I was still breathing so apparently didn't need one

I spent 7 hours lying on the ground in a car park. Every time I moved I threw up from the pain. The owners of the car park called 999 6x

One of the people there was a fireman. He couldn't believe that 999 treated each call as a separate incident and couldn't see the details or link to previous calls. He was frustrated because they could see I was seriously ill but you can't see internal bleeding and so there was no way to persuade 999 that it actually was an emergency

Eventually my husband arrived by taxi, journey of more than 3 hours from our home

He gave me my pain meds (the car park people were worried about liability and I was too ill to get them myself). This meant I was able to crawl into the car and he drove me to A&E

He got me into a wheelchair. We waited 75 minutes to see a doctor. I was shivering, heaped with blankets and threw up all over the floor

As soon as a doctor looked at me I was taken straight to resus. The next day I was transfered by blue light ambulance to another hospital, had a blood transfusion and spent 5 days on the high dependency unit

If my husband hadn't been able to come and look after me I have no idea how I would have survived. As it was I nearly didn't

I would not have been able to get myself to hospital nor would I have been able to log into some digital triage system

This scheme seems to assume if you're seriously ill you'll arrive by ambulance and if not you're well enough to navigate a digital portal

My experience suggests that's a dangerous assumption

A week later, back home in England I had another ruptured aneurysm. This time an ambulance came in 2 hours and again I was taken straight to resus

It wasn't the same because I had a recent diagnosis of a ruptured aneurysm so we could tell 999 I was almost certainly bleeding internally. But I was too ill to get myself down the stairs and out to the car. We still needed that ambulance and I still wouldn't have been able to fiddle around with an ipad

Proper triage REQUIRES an actual doctor to look at the patient. It takes a matter of minutes to differentiate between a life threatening emergency and not a life threatening emergency. That's not minutes to get a diagnosis but to know that the person is stable or not stable and if not that needs immediate attention

Seriously ill people can't do it themselves. It doesn't matter how smart or articulate they are normally. Or how tough. Expecting people to manage their own emergency care isn't what a modern health service should do

When your entire worldview is based not on knowledge, but on what others think - the only possible rebuttal is a performance.

[Liza Rosen @LizaRosen0000]

Lucy Connolly was torn from her young daughter and thrown in prison, not for committing a violent crime, but simply to send a message.

Her case was used by the corrupt establishment as a warning to deter other British citizens from speaking freely online.

This is pure evil!
A white British mother was separated from her child as political punishment for her words she voluntarily deleted from Facebook.

This is not justice.

It is authoritarian intimidation designed to silence dissent.

It’s now World Cup build-up week

Last time, there was fury about Qatar’s issues

There’s now nothing even though it all applies to PSG

The rhapsodising of Saturday and Pep’s exit shows how this all works

And this is as Qatar change how football works

“You Only Move Twice” from The Simpsons (1989) gave us Hank Scorpio, still the greatest one-off character the show ever created. A supervillain who’s somehow a better boss, friend and life coach to Homer than anyone in Springfield.

I have come to the conclusion that the UK government detests women.

Especially British women.

This is Esosa Eguakin. A Nigerian living in the UK.

On 21 August 2025, he took a train at 0715 from Fratton to London Waterloo. He sat behind a woman in her 30s and sexually assaulted her.

A few weeks later, on October 6, he took a train from Eastleigh to London Waterloo. He sat behind another woman and repeatedly groped her. She confronted him and he denied it. Police escorted him off the train at Woking.

He was charged with two counts of sexual assault and found guilty on 10 February 2026.

He received 2 years in prison and a 5 year Sexual Harm Prevention Order stating that he cannot sit or be near lone women on public transport. As if that is going to stop him.

Because…

He has done this before! Five years earlier, on 12 October 2021 he took a bus from Chichester. The bus was almost empty but he sat right behind a woman in her 20s and guess what…yes, he repeatedly groped her bottom too.

When she got off the bus he followed her and she told the driver. Eguakin was arrested and eventually pleaded guilty to sexual assault. He was given 200 hours of community service and sent on a 30 day rehabilitation program. And put on the sex offenders’ register for five years.

That is it.

As a result he was free to molest those other women in 2025. And he will be free in about a year to do the same thing again.

The reason to come and make your film in England is that you’ll have available a stock of professional Shakespearean actors who will throw 100% into whatever goofy Flash Gordon knock off you give them, and turn it into cinematic gold.
