During the Southport riots, dozens and dozens of people were arrested and rounded up in record time many simply for tweets or social media posts. Police said they were inciting racial hatred.

Yet what has happened to all the lefties who have come out with repulsive and disgusting things about Ann Widdecombe? Comments that sound like incitement and encouragement to murder.

Some of the things said by left wing commentators have been truly appalling and aggressive.

Still nothing. No arrests. No round-ups. No consequences.

This is more evidence of two-tier policing that is testing our society to breaking point.

If you hold conservative opinions, you are persecuted, intimidated, dragged through the courts and made an example of.

If you’re on the left side, spewing hatred and calls for violence against anyone you don’t like the look of or disagree with you get a free pass.

TWO TIER POLICING IN A TWO TIER COUNTRY THAT ENABLES TWO TIER HATRED!

There are athletes who never acknowledge the fans, the kids that want to be just like them when they grow up.

Then there’s Haaland. ❤️

To the London black cab driver who found me bloodied in the chaos of central London and drove me all the way to Reading: thank you.

Thank you for cleaning my face. For the sugary tea at the BP garage. For delivering me safely to my friend's front door and refusing to charge me a single penny.

In the trauma of that day, I never asked your name. I don’t think I even thanked you properly, and I am so sorry for that. But I hope you know that I remember you every single year.

You were a hero when London needed one most.

I work in central London and I’m telling you: the two‑tier justice system is visible at every crossing. Motorists with plates and insurance are milked by cameras for 22mph in a 20 zone, while gig riders on effectively unregistered electric motorbikes are doing 30mph through red lights and on pavements with zero consequence.

On paper, e‑bikes are capped at around 15.5mph and must obey the Highway Code like anyone else; on the ground, I watch throttled machines doing double that, no helmets, no lights, no enforcement.

The authorities have published guidance, they’ve seized hundreds of illegal bikes, they know exactly what’s going on – they just don’t care enough to stop it.

One of the many reasons why Kevin Keegan is special is that he makes other people feel special, and that's a great gift. Keegan is a footballing great who wears his greatness lightly. He’s King Kev and a man of the people. He's never forgotten his Doncaster roots, indeed is very proud of them, and the work ethic inherited from his father and grandfather, both miners.

A work ethic that propelled Keegan to the top. The great smell of Brut - and sweat. That was Keegan the player. He maximised every last ounce of his talent. That's one of the many reasons he's always been so respected. Another of the many reasons why there is such an outpouring of love for Keegan, and so many messages of support as he undergoes treatment for cancer, is that as a footballer he reached for the stars with his feet firmly on the ground.

Keegan is one of the greatest footballers in English and European history, a European champion with Liverpool, a two-time Ballon d’Or winner at Hamburg, a much-loved Newcastle United player and manager, and whole-hearted in his work with England as player and manager. Diego Maradona asked for his shirt after an Argentina-England game in 1980. Keegan played against Pele, George Best and Johan Cruyff. And yet he’s as down to earth as they come. In fact, he often sends himself up.

He cares for people. I went to interview him once at Maiden Castle, Durham, where Newcastle were training at the time and Keegan was the manager of the Entertainers. He sent a message to say he’d come to the pavilion for a chat when training was finished. Great. I might get an early train home. A member of Newcastle’s staff mentioned that Kevin might take a while because this was a day when fans were allowed in to watch.

He stepped off the pitch, and spent around an hour signing autographs, chatting away, never rushing people, just making them feel special. He dropped to his haunches so he could talk to one kid in a wheelchair, making eye contact, and having a proper chat. It meant the world to this kid that Keegan cared. He reached the pavilion, changed, and gave me 20 minutes of his time. He’s incredibly generous with his time. And there have always been so many demands on it.

He tells the story that his determination to sign every autograph and meet every picture request dates back to a moment when, as a kid, he was snubbed by a Doncaster Rovers player. Keegan had waited after a Rovers game, politely approached his favourite player, and got knocked back. He’s never forgotten the hurt he felt. So he makes sure he fulfils every autograph request – no matter how long the queue.

I hosted a talk with Keegan at the Cheltenham Literary Festival in 2018. He was promoting his autobiography so was obviously going to be accommodating. But, typically, he went above and beyond. Smartly suited, Keegan arrived so early that only the security guy was there. Keegan patiently chatted away with the security guy, asking him about his job, where he lived, just being friendly because that is Kevin Keegan for you. Interested in people. Good to them.

Later, when the talk to the audience finished, Keegan headed into the Waterstones’ tent to sign books. The queue was huge. The Festival was closing for the night but Keegan stayed two hours to make sure everyone had their copy signed or their shirt. One lady had her Liverpool jacket signed (below). Keegan not only signed but had a joke and a laugh and a picture with them all.

On Boxing Day, Keegan was at Scunthorpe United, his first club, promoting non-League football. He joined in the carols and got behind the bar, pulling pints, helping out, spreading laughter. Because that’s what Kevin Keegan does – spreads joy. And that’s one of the many, many reasons people are rooting for Kevin Keegan at this challenging time.
