Today I have read a lot about the @TRobinsonNewEra UTK march that took place. Sadly a lot of what has been written is from people who were not in attendance, as such I would doubt the validity of some of the comments.
As one who attended I can honestly say that I saw no violence or inappropriate behaviour. What I did see was people of all ages walking, talking and having good time together.
I heard stories about football, motorbikes, cooking and all manner of things.
I met friends from different parts of the country and together we stood and listened to very motivational speeches and music.
Like most things in life from sport through to the legal system, much of what we do is adversarial. In essence there is a winner and a loser. Accepting the high level of attention that event received, including the banning of speakers by the government, the event was for those attending a success.
Freedom of speech and the right to protest are vital, and we must fight to maintain what we have. The UK and its parliament were held in high regard, sadly that is no longer the case, one gone, civil liberties will not easily come back.
The event was posted at UTK, Unite The Kingdom, for those that attended, it did.
🚨GUILTY!
Great news that Palestine Action’s Audrey Corno and her four buddies have today been found guilty of criminal damage after they vandalised the Ministry of Defence building back in April 2024.
Two months ago, the thug was acquitted of another act of vandalism. Enjoy the criminal record.
A large number of the building projects in Manchester have gone to one contractor. As part of the build and planning permission he was meant to build a given number of affordable houses, starter homes etc.
These have never been built.
The contractor has personally made over 40 million from the government contracts.
Andy Burnham 's best mate.
Pretty much all of the MPs who cannot commute, have a taxpayer funded 2nd house in London.
Now we are moving parliament to Manchester for some of the time. What now another set of houses in Manchester, again at our expense.
Who could possibly make money out a scheme like this?
Possibly Andy Burnham's best buddy the Manc based property developer who has racked up millions in local Gov contracts.
🗣️ Marc Cucurella:
“I’d never seen this side of Lionel Messi until this World Cup. We always spoke highly of him as someone who was respectful and humble, but this tournament completely changed my opinion of him.
When he reported me to the referee because I slightly touched my mouth, I was shocked. I never expected a player like him to do that.
Throughout the World Cup, I saw him telling referees to book players who tackled him. People call him humble, but I don’t see it that way. Watching everything that happened over the last two World Cups made me question the legacy he’s built.
Cristiano Ronaldo has always been honest about who he is, confident, outspoken, and never pretending to be someone else. I’d choose Ronaldo over Messi any day because I’ve played against both and know what they’re really like.”
This should never have been allowed.
The quran has no relevance in any government building in this a Christian country.
Would a bible recital have been allowed in Pakistan or Iran?
And yet some on the left are supporting this?… get him out, he’s playing the system.
Put him in the smallest room in Belmarsh, one with no windows… and let him rot.
@Councillorsuzie@stellacreasy@jk_rowling Unless it is a freak of nature and born as a homafrodite, then yes as per the human race gender is decided prior to birth, not in a classroom.
@lisareality1@andyburnham This is a con , a distraction, a smoke screen.
And yes who is paying for the self indulgent waffle.
If he cared so much for the people and the place, why fight so hard to block the rape gangs inquiries in the area.
Actually, I think that there is some merit in a replay.
Given the amount of fools and violence committed in ALL of there games, perhaps they should ALL be replayed.
Argentina has disgraced the competition and should be banned.
Argentina has hit 100,000 signatures on a petition demanding a World Cup final replay, alleging the referee was corrupt after their 1-0 loss to Spain.
Hilarious. These crybabies cannot accept they were completely outplayed. The rest of the world knows it - Argentina had zero shots on target for over 100 minutes. No corrupt referee makes that happen.
The best team won, keep crying.
🚨 When did monkey become a British delicacy?
Be honest - no working-class family in the UK is sitting down on a Tuesday night saying “Fancy some primate stew, love?”
This isn’t happening in average households.
African bushmeat (monkey, pangolin, antelope and more) is being smuggled in suitcases and sold on TikTok/Instagram with home delivery to certain postcodes.
It’s not “culture.”
It’s illegal imports that skip every food safety check, risk diseases like Ebola and anthrax, and threaten endangered species - all while the rest of us are told to mind our own business.
We need to look at the bigger picture: who is actually demanding this, who is bringing it in, and why our borders and food standards are being treated as optional.
Native British people aren’t the ones driving this trade. Full stop.
Time to stop pretending otherwise.
A massive waste of time and money.
Simple illusion, smoke and mirrors.
If Andy Burnham cared about the people in the northern towns, why block the rape gang inquiries that were in place?
In simple terms, a con man?
By the time he is due to be released this wretched, spineless government will be history.
Assumptive that the new government will do the right thing and deport him on his release from prison.
Monwar Hussain has been jailed for seven years after raping a woman in Norwich.
Norfolk Constabulary writes:
A woman who was raped by a man in Norwich says she feels she has finally found justice after her attacker was jailed for seven years. He was also issued with an indefinite restraining order.
Monwar Hussain, aged 29, of Marauder Road, Norwich was sentenced at Norwich Crown Court today (Friday 24 July 2026) after previously being convicted of two counts of rape, one count of attempted rape and one count of assault by penetration.
It follows an incident on 13 March 2020 when the victim had been on a night out with friends in Norwich and ended up at a house party. When she became became unwell, her friends called her a taxi and a man who had also been at the party offered to share the taxi home.
The victim woke up the next morning to find the man raping her.
The suspect was later identified as Monwar Hussain, also known as Rak, and in August 2024 he was charged. Hussain denied any wrongdoing but following a trial at Norwich Crown Court in April 2026 a jury found him guilty of all four charges.
In a statement read in court the victim told how the attack had had "a serious and profoundly negative impact on her.
She said, "In the days, weeks and months that followed, I suffered with anxiety and struggled to sleep due to what he had done.
"I have a close-knit group of friends that I am lucky to have but my trust in other people and in forming new relationships has been irreparably damaged. I have found building any new relationships extremely challenging.
"The weeks that followed giving evidence in court were incredibly difficult for me. I am though, extremely proud that I was able to give evidence and explain what had happened to me in a court of law.
“I hope more people can find justice like I have done. I had incredible support from my friends throughout the process. I know that, when you know you have done nothing wrong, the process is a sad and lonely one. I hope that more people find the support to be able to stand up and get justice when incidents such as these occur."
Following sentencing investigating officer Detective Constable Matthew Hubbard said;
"I hope today’s outcome will give the victim some sense that justice has been done. I do not for a moment underestimate the courage it took not only to report what had happened but also to continue to support what was a lengthy and complex investigation and trial process.
"Thanks to this woman’s bravery and the evidence she gave, Hussain is now behind bars and I hope this will give other victims of rape and sexual assault the strength to come forward in the knowledge that we will support them and hold perpetrators to account."
Madrid superstar and England midfielder Jude Bellingham has opened up about the heated World Cup match between England and Argentina.
“Messi and the Argentines are rough,” Bellingham said. “They were calling me and other black players monkeys. I reported it to the referee but he did nothing about it. There were so many fouls that were not awarded. The World Cup completely favours them and it’s unfair.”
He also slammed the refereeing, pointing to a string of unpunished fouls, late challenges, and decisions that he believes tilted the game heavily in Argentina’s favour.
“It feels like the whole tournament is set up for them,” Bellingham added. “We come out here to compete fairly, but it’s not fair when the rules don’t apply the same way.”
