@ClarkeMicah The greatest act of industrial vandalism in the UK.
The "Beeching Cuts" in 1960s
Most of the current road freight could have been on the railways.
He cut over 2.500 small village / town railway stations. Imagine the effect if they were still there.
Labour MPs and Labour supporters are going to be reminded, in a very painful fashion, that Andy Burnham was a great option when he was *unavailable* but a much less impressive one if or when he *does* become available.
The Scottish Court of Session has just ruled that providing multi-user unisex toilets in a primary school amounted to indirect sex discrimination against female pupils.

To the Metropolitan Police,
You were the gold standard. The model every nation copied. When Scotland Yard spoke, criminals listened. That badge meant integrity. It meant courage. It meant the law applied equally, without fear or favour.
Look at you now.
You are a punchline. A cautionary tale. A force that clears up fewer than one in ten burglaries while your officers film TikTok videos in uniform. You arrested a man in Lancashire at dawn for a Facebook post in 2024 while grooming gangs operated in Rochdale for years with barely a raised eyebrow. You invented non-crime hate incidents so you could harass pensioners for wrongthink while real victims wait on hold.
You kneeled for mobs in 2020 while statues fell and businesses burned. You stood aside while extremists marched with impunity, then raided homes over memes. You have turned the oldest police force in the world into a politicised enforcement squad for the narrative, not the public.
You chose diversity dashboards over clear-up rates. You chose community engagement over enforcement. You chose the approval of NGOs and Twitter mobs over the safety of the people who pay your wages. You chose feelings over facts, and political safety over actual policing.
You did not lose your way. You sold it. Slowly, deliberately, one diversity training course at a time, one apology tweet at a time, one decision to stand down while crime happened in front of you.
The British people see you now. We see the double standards. We see the collapse in basic standards. We see a force that looks more like political commissars than police officers. We see officers who remember their oath sidelined while the ideologues get promoted.
You wanted to be political enforcers. Congratulations. You got your wish. Now you get treated like political operatives. No more benefit of the doubt. No more automatic respect. You burned that.
The mask is off. The receipts are published. The record is being kept.
We are watching.
🚨 This is from Paul Walsh a veteran and Father of "Far Right" rioter 👇🏼
"Just sat in Portsmouth magistrates court and watched my son plead guilty for throwing a traffic cone which was caught on camera from the disturbance at Southampton on Tuesday over the two tied policing and that poor boys death by the hands of the police .......
I don't condone violence towards the police but my son is only 21 and got caught up in the moment, he informs me it didn't even hit them just thrown towards there lines...
Firstly it was a kangaroo court, the solicitor informed me before entry that it will be the district Crown court judge that over seen the southport rioters court case presiding and with that he appeared on a big screen once my son came up from the cells...
Took his guilty plea then informed him by the video link with it being such a high profile case his guilty plea the sentencing guidelines where between 3-5 years for a guilty.
With that he said he's remanding him in to custody and he will be sentenced Wednesday morning at Southampton Crown court at 1000 in front of him personally now take him away 😳
If that's not two tied justice i don't know what is and that's a young 21 year old, white boy full time job never been in trouble before and dealt with that swiftly. 😳
And with those sentencing guidelines
Am still in shock 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤬🤬🤬 — feeling helpless."
Andrew Gilligan asks why an organisation like the National Association of Muslim Police (NAMP) is allowed to be anywhere near the profession of law enforcement.
NAMP has branded Zionism “one of the manifestations of anti-Muslim hatred, stripping Muslims of their humanity”.
These inflammatory claims were made in a NAMP policy paper on “confronting anti-Muslim hatred”, which also described the Israel Defense Forces as a “Zionist terrorist group”.
The organisation is affiliated with at least 16 of Britain’s 43 police forces and has a formal national role within policing. It has also received praise from the College of Policing.
NAMP works with the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC), including through workshops and presentations to the NPCC’s counter-terrorism advisory group. It has called for the term “Islamist terrorism” to be abandoned, arguing that “its use by the police contributes to faith hate crime”.
As Gilligan notes, this is despite the fact that, since 1999, 94 per cent of terrorist deaths in Britain have been caused by Islamists.
Policy Exchange’s David Spencer has argued that a central element of the crisis consuming British policing is the diversion of officers from their core task: keeping the public safe, preventing crime and catching criminals. NAMP and its agenda are a clear example of that distraction.

Miles de ingleses se reunen en las calles coreando las últimas palabras de Henry Nowak: "No puedo respirar".
Esto es espontáneo.
Es un movimiento popular.
Inglaterra va a estallar.
The CPS has decided to prosecute two white men for disorder and assaulting a police officer in Southampton, but also decided not to prosecute two brown men for disorder and assaulting police officers at Manchester Airport.
Thank goodness there's no two tier policing in the UK.
Henry Nowak died the same way a civilization dies: abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him, and accused of hate crimes he did not commit. His murder is as tragic as it is enraging. He should still be alive today, and he would be if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it.
Henry was far from the first to so needlessly lose his life, and I fear he won’t be the last. Each time a life like his is lost, the proper response—the only response—is righteous anger. One of the most important things the Trump administration has proven to the world is that stopping the flow of mass migration and defending national sovereignty is a matter of political will and leadership. Anything else is an excuse.
It is because we love the West that we want to preserve it. We love our civilization. We love our country. We love our children. And nobody—nobody—should ever die the way that Henry Nowak died. May God comfort those who loved him, and may God rest his soul.
🚨(1)BREAKING: Christian community police officer wins settlement after being forced out of his role for questioning and criticising Islam during diversity training.
Luke Salmons, who has been supported by the Christian Legal Centre, was suspended for six months, forced to resign and put on a police barring list after he had questioned radical Islam in a training session.
He had been told that the session was a 'safe place' for discussion, but after expressing his beliefs, the consequences were devastating.
After taking legal action, his case has now been settled on confidential terms, however his story raises serious concerns about free speech and religious freedom in UK policing.

The woman speaks for the entire country right now. An absolutely glorious rant against Keir Starmer. And she signs off in the most quintessentially British way.
