George, an 83-year-old man, was heading to bed when his wife pointed out that the light in the garage was still on. From the bedroom window, she noticed movement inside. Curious, George opened the back door to check, only to spot people rummaging through his garage, clearly up to no good.

He quickly called the police and explained the situation. The officer on the line asked, “Is your garage attached to your house?”
George replied, “No, it’s detached.”
The officer then said, “All units are currently busy. Please stay inside, lock your doors, and we’ll send someone as soon as possible.”

George hung up, paused for a moment, and then picked up the phone again. This time, he told the dispatcher, “I just called about the people in my garage. You don’t need to hurry anymore—I’ve taken care of it. I’ve shot them all.” Then he hung up.

Within minutes, George’s quiet neighborhood turned into a scene out of an action movie. Six police cars, a SWAT team, a helicopter, and an ambulance all arrived in record time. The officers swarmed the property and quickly apprehended the burglars, catching them red-handed in the act.

One of the officers approached George, clearly puzzled. “I thought you said you’d shot them?”
With a sly smile, George replied, “And I thought you said no one was available!”

Fireworks must be banned outside of organised displays.

They terrify pets and wildlife, it's not acceptable, just for the pleasure of a few

Stop fireworks now

Simple request to whoever is now running Labour’s communications strategy, drop the “strivers” language as it inevitably has led in the past to reference to “skivers” prefacing attacks on welfare benefit claimants & cuts in social security support.

Question - We wonder if the Telegraph sponsors listed, via an AI online search have company equality policy’s that align with such public punching down of disabled people via its media?

The list of sponsors are well known in the UK
Do sponsors support this hostile environment?

So Trump wants to deport the immigrants, perhaps they could start with sending the whites back to Europe and letting the indigenous peoples have their country back

This seems to be a thing. Booksellers are brilliant.

@christheowl @Lucy_Webster_ You're spot on, I know so many dynamic, creative disabled people making a positive contribution in our communities, we should be able to recognise and celebrate it

[Dr Chris Whitaker @christheowl]

@Lucy_Webster_ @BobEllard1 No pun intended but I am so sick of this constant use of a deficit narrative for disabled people. Where is the discussion of the positive contributions that disabled people make to society, our talents…?

Anyone who is against the ability to work from home can officially shove it. Just finished a morning of work while in so much pain I can't leave my bed. Tonight I'm preparing another disabled person to carry out work at a location for me, creating a well paid job too.

[Kate Stanforth @KateStanforth]

I have a meeting with my support workers as my ‘support’ from Access To Work has been cut by around £500 per week and will affect their employment. Not just mine, theirs too. This is awful.

All this palaver about getting disabled people into work while the DWP doesn’t do the bare minimum of their own job.
