NEW🚨: This is PC Paul Beckwith He has been allowed to walk free from court despite being convicted of possessing indecent images of children and voyeurism. He had catergory A (most serious), B and C images on his devices. But instead of going to jail... He was given a 14 months imprisonment, suspended for 18 months. Meanwhile these police officers are arresting people for social media posts and getting jailed for them and jumping on you for sitting on a wall watching a riot 🤦‍♂️ SHARE THIS EVERYWHERE!!

This woman drives a £20k+ car, but to avoid paying £2.50 for 2 hours parking in the car park this road leads up to, she uses a BB issued to a 42yo male. I have seen her on numerous occasions leaving, but this is the first time I have seen her arrival. 💯 Misuse @EalingCouncil

Potential Loan Signings 💸⚒️ Given our well known financial struggle I think we should really explore the idea at loaning in some players some with buy options for next season. It would help us spend more money in other areas whilst retaining a balanced squad. [Thread 🧵]

Family Man Beat To Death By Migrant Teenagers In Dublin. On Sunday 17 May 2026, at around 4:15pm on Mill Road in Blanchardstown, 37-year-old Alex Coughlan was attacked by two 16-year-old boys without warning. The defenceless Irishman was forced to his knees, pleading for mercy as one teenager repeatedly punched and kicked him in the head. The second boy filmed the assault on his mobile phone. Alex screamed for help and begged them to stop. He had already handed over his wallet and bank cards, but hesitated when they demanded his gold ring, a gift from his father. That moment of hesitation cost him his life. The beating continued. Alex was left unconscious on the ground. He died three days later on 20 May in Connolly Hospital from catastrophic head injuries. His family made the selfless decision to donate his organs. Two 16-year-old boys were arrested and charged with assault causing serious harm and robbery. The main attacker is a second-generation migrant born and raised in Ireland. The other, who filmed the attack, is a migrant with dual nationality. Both were described by locals as having non-native features. Gardai later recovered the stolen ring from one of the boys homes, and Alex’s father identified it in court. The teenagers appeared in Dublin Children’s Court on 27 May. A judge imposed strict reporting restrictions, warning against naming them or sharing the video of the attack circulating online due to their age. Bail was refused, and both teenagers remain remanded in custody. On Saturday 30 May, what would have been Alex’s 38th birthday, hundreds gathered in Ballyfermot to farewell him. He was remembered as the glue of his family, a kind, gentle, and selfless man who brought laughter and joy to everyone around him. A dedicated Bupa worker and passionate rugby fan, Alex is survived by his mother Brigid, father John, sister Zara, and brothers Philip and Jack. Mourners sang Happy Birthday and Ireland’s Call. Tributes described him as a truly beautiful soul and caring human being. A private cremation followed at Glasnevin Cemetery. While Alex’s funeral took place, the Irish mainstream media gave far more coverage and focused far more outrage on the death of Congolese national Yves Sakila, 35. Sakila, who had dozens of previous convictions and multiple prison terms for repeated shoplifting, died on 15 May after being restrained by security staff during another shoplifting attempt. His death was quickly framed by activists as Ireland’s George Floyd moment, sparking protests, political speeches, and claims of racism. Alex’s killing, a local Irish family man robbed and beaten to death in broad daylight while pleading for mercy received far less attention. Coverage focused on the attackers age and anonymity, with zero discussion of backgrounds or nationalities. There were no mass candlelit vigils when Alex died, no major protests demanding justice, no political statements, and no national campaigns declaring that his life mattered. No Netflix documentaries will ever examine Alex's final moments. Certain tragedies fit a preferred political narrative and ignite weeks of outrage. Others, like the brutal murder of a gentle Irish family man, are treated as less newsworthy. This selective response from the Irish media and political class is an insult to Alex and every family who has lost someone in similar circumstances. Alex Coughlan’s life mattered. He deserved better, and the people of Ireland deserve the truth. RIP Alex Coughlan. Both teenagers are next due in court on 24 June. #Ireland #CrimeNews #Dublin

A mother whose toddler son was found dead at her flat while she was out at her boyfriend’s has been jailed for JUST 10 months for child neglect. Amanda Hardie, 30, repeatedly left two year-old Clyde Campbell at night for hours on end while she worked or went out socialising. He died of cot death, while Hardie was with her boyfriend. Ex-model Hardie sobbed at Inverness Sheriff Court as she was led away in handcuffs. Sheriff Gordon Fleetwood told her: “You placed your own desires, work and socialising before those of your children.” Hardie went to work, at G’s nightclub in Inverness, leaving Clyde with no adult supervision. After work, she went to her boyfriend’s flat and fell asleep. On February 23, neighbours worried about Clyde went into Hardie’s flat and found the tot lifeless in bed. An ambulance was called but Clyde could not be saved. Another neighbour contacted Hardie on Facebook and told her to come home. It was not the first time Hardie had gone out and left Clyde. Earlier that month, while Hardie was out working at the weekend, a neighbour passed her flat and heard Clyde crying for his mum. She knocked on the door but no one answered and the crying stopped. On February 19, Hardie found Clyde in her kitchen with a bottle of cleaning fluid. Some of it was on his clothes. She took him to hospital but doctors found no signs he had swallowed the fluid. On February 21, Hardie worked at the nightclub from noon to 4pm and 8pm to 4am. Her boyfriend Ian Hill took her back home after her first shift, then returned later to take her back to work. After Hardie’s second shift, she went to Hill’s home and stayed until lunchtime. She had told a colleague that she was struggling for child care that weekend, but did not ask for help. Hardie pled guilty in March to wilfully ill-treating, abandoning and neglecting Clyde and exposing him to unnecessary suffering or injury at her flat in Mackintosh Road. Sentencing, Sheriff Fleetwood told her the tragedy was “not at your door” and she was not being punished for it. But he said she had to take responsibility for leaving him unattended. Lorenzo Alonzi, defending, told the court: “Clyde’s death will be an enduring source of torment for her. “I accept if you leave children alone, you are taking a risk. But something unforeseeable happened here and that makes it all the more tragic.”

Another boy was subjected to nearly a decade of abuse from the age of six and the third child victim was 12 when McGregor assaulted him. He manipulated the trust of local families to gain access to their children, with his youngest victim aged just three.

He also recorded footage of a victim almost being physically sick after he perpetrated a sex act on the boy whom he subjected to years of abuse. McGregor filmed rapes so he could enjoy them again later and shared video of his abuse of one victim with other paedophiles around the world. The mum of one of his victims, who we are not naming to protect her child’s identity, received a letter via the Scottish Prison Service’s Victim Notification Scheme confirming his release. More than 2000 indecent photos and 899 videos were recovered many of which were found to contain material at the most extreme level of abuse.

🚨 ALLEGED DOG ABUSER - ST ANNES ON SEA BLACKPOOL. IF YOU KNOW HIM, HAVE A WORD From another social media post: Does anyone recognise this specimen of humanity who was on the beach - south of the pier - about 7.45 this evening (Wednesday 27 May)? My friend and I (with our dogs) noticed him as he was hitting both of his dogs. He then picked one up either by its collar or scruff of the neck and let it hang! We could hear what he was saying to them (loudly) and it wasn’t pleasant. Out came my camera and I pretended to be videoing the beach but was taking this photo. He sort of walked towards us and as he did so the language he used towards the dogs changed from very unpleasant to more favourable. As he came closer I said I’d noticed the change in what he was saying to the dogs - well the beast was unleashed and a tirade of foul abusive and threatening language came forth - he was nearly screaming at us. Other people heard him as we were asked what all that was about. My only concern was for the dogs - 2 Yorkshire terriers (or similar) who seemed to be fastened together by a length of chain - could have been a ‘brace’ for walking 2 dogs on one lead. Being reported to police this morning. Source Essie Baker Image has been cleaned as was grainy.

🚨 THIS COWARD BOY MORGAN REES, 21, BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF AN 85-YEAR-OLD MAN THEN STOLE HIS VAN Morgan Rees from Middle Wallop, Stockbridge — you’re no man, you’re a pathetic little boy. After a night out drinking, this scumbag launched a savage unprovoked attack on a defenceless 85-year-old pensioner sitting in his van. He punched him repeatedly, dragged him out onto the ground, kicked him multiple times, tried to slam the car door on his legs, then stole the van and drove off leaving the old man injured. The victim said the attack has left him terrified to go out alone, constantly thinking about it, and he now has to be extra careful because of the damage to his eye socket. Salisbury Crown Court gave him just 3 years and 4 months for Section 18 GBH. Pick on someone your own size you weak, pathetic cunt. Attacking an 85-year-old? There’s no lower form of life. Name him. Share his face. Show everyone what a spineless thug looks like. Protect our elderly. These cowardly attacks on the vulnerable are getting ridiculous. No mercy for scum like this.

In a game with so much at stake, you can’t be cancelling goals in the final moments for decisions that fans can barely understand. West Ham thought they had rescued something at the death and then suddenly it’s taken away that’s heartbreaking for players and supporters. Moments like that completely change matches. If that happened to certain clubs, people would be screaming about it for weeks. For me, Arsenal got away with one tonight, and West Ham fans have every right to feel robbed.”

🚨🎙️ Roy Keane on West Ham’s disallowed goal for a foul on Arsenal’s Goalkeeper David Raya "I tell ya what, that VAR decision is a complete and utter disgrace – an absolute joke! All season long Arsenal have been crowding the goalkeeper on set-pieces, pushing, shoving, blocking – it’s been their main tactic from day one. We saw it clear as day against us at Old Trafford when Saliba backed straight into Bayindir, stopped him from making a proper save, and they nicked a goal through Calafiori. Nothing given. Not a murmur. But now, in a massive title-deciding match against West Ham, when it doesn’t suit them... suddenly it’s a foul on Raya? Are you kidding me? What the hell are we even watching in this league anymore? It’s shameless, it’s embarrassing. At this rate just hand the title and the trophy over to Arsenal now, because it’s glaringly obvious what they’re trying to pull. Total, utter disgrace."

🚨🎙️| Joe Hart on West Ham’s disallowed equalizer vs Arsenal, accuses VAR of saving Arsenal’s title hopes: 🗣️“Listen, I don’t care what anyone says, that goal should’ve stood. VAR has absolutely ruined moments like that. West Ham fought for that equalizer and somehow they’ve found a way to disallow it for the softest little touch you’ll ever see. If that’s Arsenal scoring at the Emirates, nobody even checks it for more than five seconds. And this is what frustrates fans, Arsenal have lived off those scrappy, aggressive goals all season. Blocking keepers, crowding the six-yard box, little nudges here and there… suddenly when it happens against them, it’s ‘clear and obvious.’ Give me a break. I was a goalkeeper, I know when a keeper’s genuinely impeded and when he’s looking for help. There’s no way you can tell me that was enough contact for the goal to be overturned. The game’s gone soft. West Ham have been robbed, simple as that. You wonder why fans think certain clubs get favourable decisions because moments like this keep happening. Arsenal are in a title race and somehow every 50/50 call seems to land their way. That equalizer changes the whole atmosphere of the game and VAR bottled it. Absolutely bottled it.”
