This British man has been arrested in Marmaris.
Only drink has made him lose it in public but this is not the first time his wife or children have seen his violence. I guarantee it.
They know what’s coming. The boy grabs his mum when she throws the phone out to this man- because they know how he will flip his lid at her defiance.
When he comes at her - all he can see is the woman and he’s coming to kill her if he can. The children are just objects in his way.
All they can do is block the force with which he gets her and he still knocks her out cold.
He takes his son and daughter down too. Without care or thought. No regret afterwards. He’s coming forwards again.
The speed with which the boy is back on his feet tells you it’s not the first time he’s seen his father like this and he knows what he has to do. There is no shock reaction to delay the boy as would be the case if it was the first time a boy had to defend himself or his mother. He gets straight back to block his way.
This is a terrible thing to observe for people who never see this sort of abuse because “behind closed doors” is suddenly exposed in full.
A man like this terrorised his family in public. There is no alternative story.
I hope that they the woman and children not redrawn as complicit - as some sort of low class villains who all deserve each other. There is only one villain in this piece. It’s him.
That man needs locking up for a long time. Preferably in Turkey.
His family need removing to safety before they feel the pressure to accept his apologies. They will undoubtedly worry about how all their lives will change if he is locked up. They might not immediately see this as a positive so they need a LOT of support. These are traumatised children and a desperately abused woman and all have a lot of recovering to do. I hope one day they are all free of him.
This really hit me in the gut. Watch with care please.
@RhysTheSaint@Tpopularfront His parents must be so proud. Let’s hope he doesn’t play the adhd, mental health, poor me card…..no excuse for being a little shite 😡
It’s time to look behind the "glamour" of the track. 🐾💔
Greyhound racing isn’t just an industry; for these dogs, it’s a life of confinement, muzzles, and extreme risk. From the moment they are born, their value is tied strictly to their speed. When they can no longer "perform," many face uncertain and often heartbreaking futures.
Every race carries the risk of career-ending injuries or worse, all for the sake of a bet. These are gentle, sensitive "45mph couch potatoes" who deserve a warm bed and a loving family, not a life of forced competition.
Let’s be their voice. It’s time to end the cycle of exploitation. 🚫🏁

Wild London David Attenborough
I'm getting so many posts from lovely people absolutely outraged at the misinformation regarding hedgehogs and slugs presented on this show yesterday, so I'll just address it here.
David Attenbourough is a really lovely man, and has done an immense amount of good for us, our wildlife, and our planet.
But he, like any other TV presenter, relies on programme researchers for script content.
The researchers, in turn, rely on who they *perceive to be* experts in the field.
Unfortunately, they were taken in by some clever branding and chose the wrong people:
A self-proclaimed 'hedgehog expert', often funded by the British Hedgehog Preservation Society (see their most recent dangerous misinformation, and my response, published here:https://t.co/YWqTd4PIkv)
And the London Wildlife Trust.
Recently the London Wildlife Trust engaged me as an expert consultant on a 4 page spread article about hedgehog myths.
Many of you have seen my interview, and the draft of the subsequent article.
I was sent this draft (see 1st image below) for approval, to which I agreed.
However, before going to print, an executive at London Wildlife trust decided to do some editing of his own.
It's shocking, I know, and would be unbelievable, if not here in actual print.
I've included two versions of the full article below:
the first draft approved by me and the team at LWT, and the second actual printed version, after executive 'editing'.
It was this same London Wildlife Trust who co-produced the Wild London documentary and "provided expert help and advice".
So now you know.
We're all shocked.
But of course, as usual, it's the poor hedgehogs who will suffer.
People won't provide food for our critically endangered hedgehogs, or bother keeping their garden natural and wild, now they've been told that hedgehogs eat slugs.
After all, there's plenty of them to go round.
Rescues all around the country, who are treating hedgehogs dying of lungworm from being forced through starvation into eating slugs, will feel so demoralised and invalidated.
Like you, I'm furious, frustrated, and bone-wearily saddened.
