When will Museums realise that an exhibition catalogue is the BEST piece of marketing and resist the temptation to use it as a cash cow. £50 is waaaaay too much and can’t be justified. The aim should be to sell one to most of the visitors so they can become ambassadors!

The Netherlands also has its Henry Nowak cases.

In July 2020, 14-year-old Tamar from Marken was hit by a car on a dark dike road and left to die. Her body was later found in the berm.
What happened next is deeply disturbing.

The police initially told her mother that the driver was German. Days later the truth came out: it was four Iraqis in the car. The mother was told they withheld the real background because they didn’t want to create a "Wilders-effect" — they didn’t want to give Geert Wilders political ammunition.

Even worse: evidence strongly suggests Tamar’s body was moved after the accident. The driver didn’t just flee, they dragged her off the road and left her there like an animal.

The driver received only a €1,500 fine for looking at his phone while driving. He then disappeared completely. The fine was returned “undeliverable” and for years he was untraceable.

Only after years of fighting by the family (including going to court to force prosecution), a breakthrough came in March 2026: the now 33-year old Jamal is finally being prosecuted for causing the fatal accident and leaving the scene.

Just like Henry Nowak in Southampton — an innocent young person dies, authorities seem more focused on protecting a narrative and avoiding “political incorrectness” than on delivering swift justice.
A 14-year-old girl dies on a Dutch dike. The system lies about the identity of the driver, gives him a slap on the wrist, loses him for years, and only after massive pressure does real prosecution begin.

This is not just a traffic accident. This is a story about truth, accountability, and what happens when institutions put ideology before grieving families.

Her name was Tamar.
She was 14.
She deserved better.

@Keir_Starmer The lack of direct action by the government to stop this corrosive woke culture is appalling. It reminds me of the days of ‘ positive discrimination’ discrimination is never positive

Gary MacArthur gave 15 years of his life to Sainsbury’s in West Wickham, south-east London.

He wasn’t some troublemaker.

He was the worker who stayed late to make female colleagues feel safer.

The worker who performed CPR on the store’s only security guard after he suffered a suspected stroke.

The worker who had already previously LOST TEETH after being punched by a thief while trying to protect the store.

But after tackling an allegedly aggressive repeat offender known for targeting the branch and stealing bottles of Moët, Bollinger and Veuve Clicquot Sainsbury’s sacked him for gross misconduct.

This was after colleagues screamed there was an “aggressive Champagne thief” in the store.

According to reports, the shoplifter later smashed bottles and hurled them at staff.

Yet Gary MacArthur a man who dedicated 15 years of loyalty, protected colleagues and even helped save a life that same day — was told he should have acted only as a “visual deterrent.”

Absolutely disgusting.

Supermarket workers are being punched, threatened, abused and terrorised by repeat shoplifters on a daily basis… yet the staff who actually step in to protect colleagues and customers are the ones losing their jobs.

Gary MacArthur at Sainsbury’s.
Walker Smith at Waitrose.
Sean Egan at Morrisons.
Gavin Ramsay at Asda.

Decades of loyalty thrown away because they refused to stand by while thieves ran riot.

What kind of country are we becoming where the people trying to protect others lose everything… while the criminals walk straight back out onto the streets?

Illegal immigrant kills swan in broad daylight and takes it, probably to eat it.

So is anyone who mentions this still wrong and just being racist?

This is bang out of order!

I believe that @waitrose need to offer this young man a paid job.

This experience shows how in some circumstances "volunteering" and work placement schemes can exploit chronically ill, disabled and neurodivergent people.

This needs to stop.
