"At the police station, Kate was taken into the interview room. Before the interview began, and without Kate’s mother present, Kate was told that this was her “last chance” to say that her report was untrue. She was warned that if any part of her account could not be supported by evidence, she could and would be arrested. For an extended period of time, both officers repeatedly told her how much trouble she would be in if any detail of her statement was disproved, and that she could withdraw the allegation before the interview started with no further consequences. They also suggested that her parents would be relieved if she said the incident had not happened."
Jeremy’s comment on the government’s proposed 9pm social media curfew for 16 & 17 year olds -
“You don’t trust them to be on social media after 9pm, yet you’re happy for them to vote. How does that work? Am I taking crazy pills?”
@RichardBentall@drhingram Ironically, propaganda was used to assuage the fears and concerns that people had about dangerous government policies.
Are the nudge unit guys stoking the flames? Or trying to suppress the response to evil actions inflicted on our nation?
Does the government seriously think that the UK public wakes up in the morning and awaits instruction on how to think and behave from Farage, Musk and Vance? These people don’t orchestrate public anger - they reflect it. They are a mouthpiece for the sentiments of the common man.
Criticising Islam is within the British tradition of people
discussing the merits of religions, and I can scarcely believe that some faceless authoritarian should be allowed to punish a person for doing so
Should I expect to be punished for Life of Brian ?
Absolutely disgraceful
Dont be daft! He created a MILLION things to mankind! He was life. His tiny little body, flooded his mother with DNA to strengthen her body to build an entire human being! - him!
And that DNA - half yours - will remain part of her forever. And when you have the next baby, his DNA, still in mum, will help create that one too! He was awesome and precious and he mattered. He was loved. He will always be loved. How many people, homeless or abandoned can say they ever felt as loved in their whole life, as much as he was loved by you?
Two human beings will forever be different people for loving him. He changed your lives. Thats pretty awesome. He was awesome. He achieved a lot in 2 months.
All my love to you and your family and may God keep him safe until you see him again. X
The issue with the oft quoted "British Values", is that 99% of British people don't believe in them. Almost nobody storming a beach on D Day would agree with Khan, so are they not British? Churchill, Nelson, Wellington, Shakespeare, and Chaucer don't share those values either.
British values mean defending everyone’s right to practise their faith freely. In London, I’m proud Christians, Jews, Hindus, Sikhs, Muslims and others can celebrate in Trafalgar Square.
Singling out Muslims isn’t ‘British values’ - it’s prejudice.

@DJFlatWhite@RupertLowe10 I wish the US and Israel well, but we've been so badly mismanaged for decades that we don't have the strength to lend to them.
I wish we did, I wish we had a functioning Navy and money to spare.
