Sadiq Khan and Mark Rowley PUBLICLY DENIED they knew about Pakistani rape gangs in London.

It's now been revealed more than 4,000 potential cases could now be reopened and Sadiq Khan had *already seen the evidence*.

This is a *blatant* cover-up.
They BOTH need to go!

@ukhomeoffice Let us examine each of those assurances against what is actually documented.

"Safe and legal routes." The nationalities you are prioritising under the community sponsorship scheme are Sudanese and Eritrean nationals, chosen specifically, in your own words, because they currently represent some of the largest groups crossing the Channel illegally. The scheme does not create a route for people who would not otherwise come. It creates a legal pipeline for people already coming, running alongside the illegal one, while the removal rate for those arriving illegally remains four percent. Safe and legal is the rebranding. The destination is the same.

"Numbers will start small and be controlled." You have signed accommodation contracts running until 2039. You opened twelve new asylum centres this week without informing the MPs in whose constituencies they sit. Speaker Lindsay Hoyle called it totally unacceptable from the chair. Canada's community sponsorship scheme, cited by your own Home Secretary as the model, has resettled more than 390,000 refugees since 1979, including more than 30,000 in 2024 alone. Small is a description of the announcement. It is not a description of the trajectory.

"Strict screening." Britain has no biometric registry for Sudan or Eritrea. In January 2026 al-Hol camp in northeast Syria, holding around 9,000 male ISIS suspects from 60 countries, collapsed. A hundred and twenty ISIS members escaped from Shaddadi prison. Syria confirmed a mass escape of ISIS-linked individuals. Their whereabouts are unknown. A British family sponsoring a refugee from Sudan or Eritrea cannot verify identity, criminal history or conflict zone involvement for someone from a country with no functioning civil record. The UNHCR referral process does not fill that gap. It never has. Calling that strict screening is not reassurance. It is the absence of an answer dressed as one.

Your statement does not address the 2001 UN Replacement Migration report that established mass immigration as the primary policy tool for managing demographic decline. It does not address the 2015 Agenda 2030 commitment or the 2018 Marrakech compact that normalised it. It does not address the Teal Book that ties British institutional policy explicitly to those commitments. It does not explain why the nationalities prioritised are the same nationalities currently crossing illegally at record rates.

Small numbers, controlled, strictly screened. That is what you said about the asylum hotel system before it produced 339 charges in six months across half the hotels in operation. Britain already knows what Home Office assurances look like in practice.

Imagine being so entitled that you don’t realise the funded education you received was paid for out of the fees from other parents but that now your impact of VAT means less bursaries/funding awards available to others.

Run by clowns

@WhatNowDoc @Miss_Snuffy Yes, impressive. She was a tad authoritarian over lockdown and vaccines though...government knows best...got blocked by her for arguing...never got on well with head teachers 😁

More 'privilege' that @annaturley didn't earn.

Pay the £3950 to charity Turley, you utter hypocritical parasite.

[Chris Rose @ArchRose90]

In 2025, over 2,000 people signed an open letter by Asylum Welcome, calling for unity and compassion towards “asylum seekers.”

LibDem MP Calum Miller was one of them.

Now he opposes plans to house “asylum seekers” in his constituency, Bicester and Woodstock.

Such a Hypocrite.

Thank you @annaturley for highlighting so perfectly why you will lose your seat at the next GE.

A smug & entitled Oxford educated MP, who has never had a proper job, telling parents she knows best.

She has finally admitted the purpose of VAT - destroying private schools.

[Graeme Archer @graemearcher]

We don't "get it" because the "it" you are pushing is spiteful and illogical. You want to destroy the education which helped you rise. We *refuse* to "get it" because your govt's education policy is factually, philosophically and morally wrong. And you're a stinking hypocrite.

@WhatNowDoc Because of previous experiences in her personal life, Lucy Connolly also made an unwise tweet, which was seen by far fewer people, and which she very soon deleted. I look forward to Mr Tapp's arrest and detention without bail...but of course SFA will happen to the little shit.

[Robin Redmile-Gordon @WhatNowDoc]

When I started building my house, a renovation some thirty years ago, the very first installation whilst all around was rubble and unconstructed floors, was air conditioning. Insulation was hardly a thing then. Fifteen people would become employed upstairs and from 1999 onwards they benefited from air conditioning during summer and heating during winter. We manufactured software and supplied it as a service, globally, generating foreign revenue earnings which were taxed in this country, we were the epitome of the new economy - a technology company leveraging tech to grow our business and contribute to GDP and productivity. On the ground floor our living experience was enhanced from day one, because of air conditioning. I got a decent night’s sleep every night, regardless the weather, so I could get up early and start earning every morning.
The solar panels I installed before it was a thing powered the a/c - I think they call that carbon-neutral or some such silly phrase these days.

The Luddites spouting this bullshit campaign against a/c fly off multiple times a year to hot sunny climes where every bar and restaurant, every hotel and mall is fully air conditioned. It’s just more of the same insanity we’ve been suffering this past ten years or so. Heap ridicule and derision upon them and never, ever comply.

[Devon Eriksen @Devon_Eriksen_]

What happened to my bank account? Absolutely nothing.

You believed a lie.

You believed a lie that was told to you by your political class, and your news media, to keep you from asking uncomfortable questions about how much you are paying in tax, where that money is going, and what quality of care you actually receive for the portion of it they didn't steal.

Don't believe me? Look at the pictures.

Look.

At.

Them.

That's my wife, @acrobatichobbit. Before and after.

That's a five centimeter mass. Stage 4 metastatic melanoma. The worst kind of cancer, the most vicious form of assassin your own body can betray you with. That bright area? Blood.

Ten years ago, anywhere in the world, the scan on the left is a death sentence... an endless gauntlet of painful surgeries, followed by chemotherapy, hair loss, uncontrolled vomiting, wasting away to nothing, death.

In America, today, it's not.

We have things here. Genetic therapies. Tailored viruses that attack tumor cells. Drugs that highlight cancers for your immune system, drag them kicking and screaming into the spotlight to be killed.

I won't tell you about her exact course of treatment, because that's none of your goddamned business, but I will tell you that it cost American drug companies and medical researchers a fortune to discover.

A fortune that your nation cannot afford because you chose socialism instead of progress. And socialism, however fine-sounding in theory, simply does not work.

Were she and I British, living in Britain, relying on the National Health Service, I would be a widower now.

Did saving her cost a ruinous amount of money?

Yes. This technology was expensive to create, and the people who did so deserve to pay their mortgages and feed their kids. So do the oncologists and surgeons.

Many of the men who cared for her were old men, experienced men, long past retirement age, still working because when your profession is clawing souls back from the void, sitting on a beach with a pina colada instead just doesn't hit the same.

They deserve every cent.

Did saving her cost a ruinous amount of money?

Yes.

Did I pay it?

No.

Because believe it or not, when things are ruinously expensive, but vitally necessary, we here in America come up with ways to deal with that.

Ways that don't involve creating a big pot of money and entrusting it to corrupt slimeballs.

We have insurance. And sometimes insurance isn't cheap, but the bite it takes is a hell of a lot less of what we have than the tax man takes from you.

And insurance companies sometimes have to make hard decisions about which spending choices will save the most people. I know about this in detail, because that is my wife's profession. She creates the mathematical models that pay for all this stuff.

The insurance that saved her is the exact same plan that she provides to others.

And at the end of an awful year and a half of treatment, awful because cancer medicines make you far sicker than the cancer itself...

We were left whole.

Battered and wounded in spirit, but financially whole, at least.

The only loss we took was the blow to my career as a novelist, because it turns out you can't write stories while your wife is dying, and you don't automatically recover that ability afterwards. Not right away.

I wondered every day if she was going to live or die. I wondered every day what the hell I was going to with myself without her.

But I never wondered, not for a moment, how the hell we were going to pay for all this.

Your government doesn't solve the problem. It is the problem.

They lie to you.

[John Spencer @SpencerGuard]

“They are killing enormous numbers of civilians…they are targeting one, two, three enemy combatants and in the process killing huge numbers of civilians. @piersmorgan Piers a few minutes later – “If you can’t say exactly how many civilians have been killed in Gaza, what you say about numbers is bull.”

Dear @piersmorgan I tried to explain to you where numbers in the Gaza war (or any war) are going to come from "simply.” But let me type it out so you have a record of it instead of the interruptions and the tactic of just asking the same question over and over while I explain how the numbers work. The same numbers by the way that you used minutes before to criticize Israel and constantly repeat or have guests on that repeat, or more often state not even Hamas numbers but false numbers about xx civilians, xx women, xx children, xx percentages that go beyond Hamas's actual list of casualties.

First, let me correct you again (like I did to start the segment) by providing you my actual quotes:

1 - "Israel and the IDF have implemented more measures (sometimes quoted as precautions) to prevent civilian harm in urban warfare than any military in history,"

That is testable against urban warfare history of any similar situation (mostly attack of defended urban terrain). Israel civilian harm mitigation measure have included advance notification (flyers, phone calls, text messages, voicemails, drones with speakers, tv, radio, social media), safe corridors to include improving roads used for safe corridors in the middle of the war, roof knocking (notifying all residents of a building in advance for evacuations and then using non-penetrating low-yield munitions on top of the building before then waiting to strike), over daily multi-hour pauses in fighting (over 400 days of the 800 days of fighting) to allow civilian evacuations and aid movement, establishing a one-star commanded civilian harm mitigation cell that created a real time civilian presence (using cell phone presence, drones, satellite images, etc.) software reflected on all combat operating systems, handing out their own military maps to the entire population (to include the enemy) and then communicating the location of IDF operations, areas to avoid or further evacuate, using major call outs of buildings and neighborhoods, restrictive rules of engagement based on likely civilian presence, rigorous fires processes and legal reviews that often ended in calling mission off out of civilian harm estimates. Many of these measures have never been attempted, by any military.

2 - "Israel has a lower civilian to combatant ratio than any similar context (war or battle) in the history of urban warfare.” After acknowledging the lack of comparative cases (size of enemy forces (which I asked you about, you don't know), tunnels, density, strategy, tactics, prevention of civilian evacuations) but still doing the simple analysis, in order to provide the evidence for this statement I use the same numbers you and your frequent guests push to condemn Israel. But here:

Q: How do you estimate the number of civilians deaths?

A: Take the number the Hamas Gaza Health Ministry reports (despite that it includes any death in Gaza for any reason or cause (Israel/Hamas/Other terrorists) and has been well documented with inaccuracies (even having to be updated by Hamas of natural deaths, incomplete entries, false entries) and subtract the Israel stated combatant deaths.

The Hamas Gaza Health Ministry claims roughly 72,000 deaths in Gaza. The IDF says it has killed about 25,000-26,000 combatants, a number also reported by President Trump in October 2025. If you subtract 25,000 from 72,000, even using Hamas’s number at face value, you get roughly 47,000 non-combatant deaths, or a bit less than a 2:1 ratio. If you were modest to adjust for natural deaths and Hamas-caused deaths, is likely closer to 35,000–40,000 non-combatant deaths versus 25,000 combatants killed, which puts the ratio closer to 1.5:1.

If you compare 2:1 or 1.5:1 to any numbers we have (in many cases we don’t have) for wars, urban centric wars, contested urban battles they will be some of the lowest ratios (in some cases lowest by far) ever seen despite none of those wars or battles had the context of Gaza. For example:

World War II – 70 million civilians, 20 million combatants, 3.5:1
Korean War – 2.5 million civilians, 90,000 combatants, 27:1
Iraq War – 280-300,000 civilians, 150-200,000 combatants, 1.4:1 to 2:1

But wait, the Gaza numbers are usually aggregated numbers for the entire war, any death ever reported in Gaza.

But if you disaggregate the numbers to specific battles like Rafah, Khan Yunis, Gaza City 2025 for comparison you get different numbers. Based on modest numbers from the Battle of Rafah, the civilian to combatant ratio would be more like 1:100 due to multiple operational variables like the success of civilian evacuations.

Major urban battles (modest comparison of battles with any like variables).

Mosul – 10,000 civilians. Combatant unknown but total estimate in battle 5,000 – 2:1
Manila – 100,000 civilians. Combatants 17,000 – 6:1
Seoul – Unknown/no record of civilian but very likely high ratio based on histories
Mariupol – Unknown/mass graves, estimate 20-22,000 civilians, 3-8,000 combatants - 2.5:1 to 7.3:1

I actually use this discussion about numbers or quote about ratio sparingly despite how many times it has been attribute to me because I know the complexity of casualty counting especially in urban centric wars with combatants that violate the law of war and do not distinguish themselves (uniforms/marking) making determining a body found (if there is a body) or a name reported (such as methods in Gaza) and then classifying that person as was participating in the hostilities (combatant) or not (noncombatant) is beyond just difficult and should always be viewed as questionable. In Mosul, a year after the battle there was not only no agreed upon casualty number, but the Mayor of the city also said there were 40,000 civilian deaths. These numbers are always messy, political, susceptible to manipulation by the different organizations involved.

My point has always been that numbers of casualty reporting in Gaza doesn’t paint the story people routinely push. Actually, the opposite.

Urban warfare is inherently and historically costly against civilians and the infrastructure. All wars involve noncombatant death. The moral, legal requirement is to do proportionality assessments and take feasible steps to prevent excessive civilian harm.

So, using your logic Piers, if you can’t state how many combatants were killed (by Israel, Hamas, terrorist rockets, other terrorists in power struggles) … you can’t say (or allow your guests to say) Israel has killed a “large number of civilians” or “killed a disproportionate number of civilians” like you did in this very interveiw.

You can't spend years saying Israel is killing enormous numbers of civilians and then tell me nobody can estimate civilian deaths so ratios aren't valid. Those two positions can't both be true.

If casualty estimates are reliable enough to accuse Israel, then they're also reliable enough to examine civilian-to-combatant ratios. If they aren't, then they shouldn't be used selectively only when they support one conclusion.
