I wrote about James O’Brien for the @TheCriticMag, the man who preferred to win than to listen.

@northernassist The “incident” was caused by overcrowding due to a lack of capacity because there were only 2 carriages. So why only 2 carriages when demand was completely predictable?

[Ed Page 🎗️ @EdPage_]

@northernassist so what the hell is happening with trains to from Leeds tonight? All stopped loads of frustrated passengers no communication.

@northernassist Hundreds of cricket fans going from Headingley & Burley Park to Leeds & train with only 2 carriages. Cue inevitable chaos. Missed connecting train to Newton le Willows due to delay. Forced to find accommodation. All completely avoidable. Hundreds impacted. Why?

“To me, Henry wasn't a headline or a court case. He was my best friends funny, caring, cheeky son. Henry had a way of making people smile without even trying. He had so much life ahead of him, so many plans, and so much love to give. When Henry was just a baby, Lucy gave me the honour of being his godmother. Our kids, like us shared their childhood. Henry's loved ones were just normal people and we were enjoying watching our kids grow into adults, naively taking for granted that we would see all the wonderful things that life had to offer them.

On December 5th 2025, when the news broke, life as we knew it stopped.

My focus in what I want to say will always be Henry and Henry's family.

But, nothing I could ever say would come close to explaining the pain of losing Henry. But alongside the heartbreak of losing Henry has been the pain of watching one of the kindest families I have ever known have their entire world torn apart.

I was lucky enough to grow up with the family of my best friends Lucy (Henry's Mum) and Katie (Henry's aunty). The family make everyone feel welcome. Their home is filled with kindness, warmth and laughter. No matter what life throws at them they always find a way to bring light to those around them. They are generous with their time, compassionate in their hearts, and the sort of people who make others feel like family too, including me and then my children. Their laughter is infectious, their support unwavering, and their love for one another shines through in everything they do.

My heart is broken for them, a very large part of them died on the day that monster chose to rip Henry from their lives. Yet even through their darkest days they continued to be the wonderful people that they are. Their focus during these dark times was to shine a light on and raise money for the charity that has helped them.

Then, 6 months after Henry's death, the heart ache continued as they had to face the trial. Being subjected to sit in a room with the monster who brutally murdered their son and watch the lies spill so easily from his mouth. A man who has not once showed an an ounce of remorse for what he did. They endured a living nightmare.

Thinking that things could not possibly get worse, in the last few weeks they have learned that the very institution that is there to protect us not only ignored Henry's plea for help, but they sided with the monster who put him on the ground .

Henry's family learned that his last moments were not only spent so afraid of the monster who attacked him but he was then wronged and let down by the police officer who I have no doubt, Henry assumed was there to help him.

That police officer handcuffed Henry and read him his rights. The last thing my best friend's beautiful boy heard before we lost him forever.

This image, we will never ever be able to erase from our minds. Family, friends and now the world, will have seen that image and we all have to live with it forever.

Shame on the monster who took you, shame on the police officer who should have helped you and shame on the organisation that trained the police officer to side with an incorrect racist slur over a dying young man. Shame on you all!!

You treated a loving caring intelligent hardworking young man, with such disregard and disrespect. You treated Henry's family, such good people, with such dishonesty! The lies have been inforgivable !! HOW DARE YOU.

Henry deserved so much more from this life. Henry and his family have been let down so badly.

THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN TO ANYONE, ANYONE'S CHILD.

This has to stop now.

Henry we will fight until the end for you. The world will know your name. You changed our lives for the better for being a part of it, I believe you will now go on to change the lives of others by the legacy you will leave.

God bless you my darling 💙”

@PaulEmbery @WilliamClouston A shift in the public mood! When idiots like you continue to advocate for the Labour Party who are without doubt the most guilty fuckers with blood on their hands?. Words mean jack shit Paul. Get the fuck out of the LP and condemn the rotten monster it is.

@DPJHodges Don’t flatter yourself Hodges. No one gives a flying fuck what you think.

While the UN shamelessly serves Hamas by demonizing Israel and the Jewish people, remember this brutal moment.

During an emergency session of the Human Rights Council, a circus packed with the world’s worst tyrants and abusers, absolute panic broke out among Palestinian UN staffers.

British Colonel Richard Kemp destroyed their lies in real time.
He refused to accept the disgusting false narrative that paints Israel as the “Islamophobic aggressor” and Hamas baby-killers, rapists, and murderers as the poor “victims.”

This was a rare and glorious takedown: one honest British colonel stood alone and silenced the entire hall of hypocrites, the same people who cheer Hamas’s slaughter of Jews, then scream “genocide” the moment Israel dares to defend its citizens.
The absurdity is breathtaking.

The UN doesn’t care about human rights. It exists to protect terrorists and blood-libel the Jewish state.

In this week’s @Spectator I’ve written about why Labour doesn’t want to ban under 16 year-olds from social media.

“I suspect the reason Labour has proved so reluctant to ban under-16s from social media is precisely because it’s planning to lower the voting age to 16. The party high-ups know that the online slop served up to kids is turning them into budding little socialists, which is why polls indicate a simple majority of the newly enfranchised will vote Labour. So the government is desperately trying to avoid an outright ban and leave the existing regime in place. Which is a good illustration of why the OSA was such a bad idea in the first place, something even its biggest cheerleader, Nadine Dorries, now admits: if you give politicians the ability to influence what voters can see on social media, they will inevitably exploit that to serve their own political ends.”

@Harry_pitt Chilling.

As I have said so many times - you can't have evidence-based policy without evidence. If some European states are prepared to lock people up for presenting facts to the public then Europe has truly fallen and society can not be protected.

@LozzaFox Even the bit about the US being a puppet of Israel? You too also linking arms with the antisemitic conspiracy theorists? Dear god man

[Ed Page 🎗️ @EdPage_]

@AndrewGold_ok Your analysis is absolutely correct. Amazed how many are hypnotised by his radical eloquent rhetoric and willing to suspend their own critical faculties. What he said about Israel is deeply dangerous. conspiratorial and untrue.

[Ed Page 🎗️ @EdPage_]

@EdwardHobden @frankwrighter And like it or not the real enemies of the west will happily amplify his words - especially the antisemites. This is deluded bullshit

[Ed Page 🎗️ @EdPage_]

@HarrisonHSmith And there are self promoting people who are good at anti western propaganda but who actually feed an antisemitic narrative so loved by the enemies of the west. This guy is a charlatan

[Ed Page 🎗️ @EdPage_]

@HXO__ @frankwrighter Seduced by flowery articulate conspiratorial isolationist whining. Watch it again and ask what he’s actually advocating for to reverse all the horrible things he cites. His take on Israel feeds into a classic antisemitic narrative, FFS clear those cloudy goggles
