Watching in horror as the UK collapses 1 day at a time

Barman disarms guy with a knife using tables and a chair.

Londoners need to learn this trick. Never bring a knife to a table and chair fight.

A 17 year old girl offered a lad a lift. That's it. That's her whole crime. Being kind. He got in. Then three more climbed in after him.

FOR SIX HOURS, police say, they raped her. Over and over. Driving her round Sydney in her own car like she was a thing, not a child.

Then they dumped her back in the driver's seat and walked off like they'd done nothing. She's SEVENTEEN and she has to live with this for the rest of her life.

That's one of them being marched out of a house in cuffs. The only one of the four old enough to be named. The rest hide behind their age. They were 14, 16 and 18.

Listen to the family screaming at the police. Why are you arresting him. Why him. Shut your mouth, don't say a word. Not one of them screaming for her.

Here's what police say happened, because it's worse than people know.

Half five on a Sunday. Liverpool Westfield, southwest Sydney. A 16 year old she'd never met starts chatting, all friendly, follows her to her car and talks his way in and while he's allegedly attacking her, police say he's on a video call to the others. Filming it. Sending it round. Calling them in.

So no, this wasn't something that just got out of hand. They were watching, allegedly, before they even turned up.

He asks for a lift to a park. She says yes, thinking he'll get out when they arrive. He doesn't. Two more are waiting. A fourth pulls up in another car. And then, police allege, they took control of her own car and drove her round the suburbs while it carried on.

The detective leading the case didn't hold back. She said it beggars belief that men would act this way over six hours and then the line that sticks. In all those six hours, not one of them stopped and said to the others, this is wrong. Not once.

Six hours. Till half eleven at night, when they allegedly left her in the car and walked off. She rang a mate, who drove her to the police station and this is the part that should make people sit up.

That girl, after all of that, gave police a detailed statement over several days. The detective called it the strength of the victim. She is the reason they had the evidence at all. She handed them the case.

Look at the charges if you think it's being overblown.

The 16 year old on his own faces 24 of them. Nine counts of sexual intercourse without consent. The 14 year old, ten more.

A dedicated unit, Strike Force Dungannon, was set up to chase it down and they didn't rush it for a headline. They waited SIX MONTHS to arrest the two older ones, quietly building the case so it would hold.

The moment they knew they could throw the book at them, they moved. When they did, they needed the riot squad to get them out of the houses and none of it happened last week. This was December 2024.

That girl has carried it for over a year already. And it's only grinding through court now, in 2026. Still going. Still not done. She's still waiting.

She was kind for thirty seconds. They took six hours and the rest of her life for it. Four of them. One girl and over a year on, she's STILL waiting for justice to catch up.

That's the world we're handing our daughters.

So remember her. Because the system already wants you to forget and ask yourself what kind of country leaves a child waiting this long.

[Julia Hartley-Brewer @JuliaHB1]

These people are ridiculous. They don't know what a woman is but they insist that half of Burnham's ministers should be women. Regardless of talent or ability or experience. They just have to have a cervix. Or claim they think they do. They are not serious people.

[David Atherton @daveatherton]

Matt Styler, 50, was quietly sitting on a wall 🧱 in Southampton at a Henry Nowak protest.

The @HantsPolice man handled him & gave him a good hiding. They even remanded him into custody on assault charges.

The CPS offered no evidence & was freed. I hope he takes them to the cleaners.

Well done to cricketing legend Sir Ian Botham who has launched a campaign against huge wind turbines wrecking some of the most beautiful landscapes in England.

"Rhiannon Skye Whyte was stabbed twenty-three times by Deng Chol Majek, a Sudanese man who had entered Britain illegally by small boat three months earlier, in a hotel the government had repurposed as asylum accommodation. The sponsorship scheme does not remove that risk."

They Failed White Working Class Children At School. Oxford And Cambridge Are Waiting To Finish The Job.

Yesterday an inquiry concluded that the education system is not set up to serve white working class children. Just 36 percent of white British pupils on free school meals passed their English and maths GCSEs last year. The Telegraph today documented what happens to the minority who beat those odds and reach the university application stage anyway. At Oxford and Cambridge they find fifteen scholarship and bursary schemes available to BAME students. They find one scheme available to white working class men. One.

But Oxbridge is not the worst of it. Across the wider university sector the picture is more extensive than the headline figures suggest. The Telegraph's own analysis found 19 separate universities with schemes specifically targeting BAME students and 11 with schemes for asylum seekers and refugees. On the UCAS website, 27.7 percent of all advertised bursaries and scholarships are specifically for international students or non-white individuals.

The specific examples are worth naming. The University of Birmingham offers up to ten PhD scholarships worth around £20,780 per year exclusively for students from Black or mixed backgrounds. Southampton Solent University runs a Students of Colour Scholarship for undergraduates joining in September 2026. The University of Kent offers £5,000 toward tuition fees through its BAME in Higher Education Ambition Scholarship. The Bank of England runs a scholarship specifically for students from Black or Mixed African and Caribbean backgrounds. Queen Mary University of London offers funded postgraduate studentships to students from what it defines as Black and Global Majority backgrounds. That definition deserves to be read carefully. Global Majority, in Queen Mary's own words, refers to all ethnic groups except white British and other white groups. That is not a diversity initiative. It is a categorical exclusion of one specific group written into the eligibility criteria of a publicly advertised funding scheme at a Russell Group university.

And it does not stop at the university gate. A 20-year-old white student whose story the Telegraph tells today says the discrimination continues with BAME-targeted schemes at GCHQ, MI5, MI6, the Big Four accounting firms, the Bar Council, the Greater London Authority and the Royal Society. The institutions responsible for the security, the law, the finance and the governance of this country have all embedded the same framework. The same white child who fell outside the protected characteristic structure at primary school falls outside it at every subsequent stage of their life.

The framework has a name and a documented history. The 2030 United Nations Agenda commits member states to inclusive and equitable quality education and to reduced inequalities, which in the British institutional context has meant ethnic minority communities, LGBTQ inclusion and refugee integration. The Teal Book, the Cabinet Office diversity and inclusion strategy, frames British institutions around protected characteristics under the Equality Act. White British is not a protected characteristic. Working class is not a protected characteristic. At school white working class children fall outside the framework. At university they fall outside the scholarship system. In the workplace they fall outside the internship schemes. The framework is consistent from primary school to the security services. They are excluded at every stage by the same document, the same legal structure and the same institutional priorities.

Bridget Phillipson described the failure of white working class children as an under-discussed area yesterday. The evidence suggests it has not been under-discussed by accident.

"The same white child who fell outside the protected characteristic structure at primary school falls outside it at every subsequent stage of their life."

Ask Andy Burnham what he knows and what his involvement was in Operation Hexagon ?
A plan to uncover who were the whistleblowers of the Muslim Rape Gangs ?

[David J Harris Jr @DavidJHarrisJr]

🚨INSANE: This guy defended his girlfriend from a Somali who was trying to sexually assault her.

The Somali stabbed him, and he tried to defend himself, ending up in the hospital.

Scottish justice pursued him with assault charges and convicted him, ruining his criminal record, while the Somali was free and didn’t even show up.

@SuellaBraverman Who are the 5 people who comprise Labour's "talent" @jessphillips?

[Christian @InTheTrenchesUK]

Yvette Cooper is Foreign Secretary. She just wired £23 million to UNRWA. This is the same UNRWA that had Hamas tunnels beneath its headquarters. The same UNRWA whose staff were accused of joining the October 7 massacre. The same UNRWA that admitted tunnels ran under its schools.

As Foreign Secretary, Cooper represents Britain abroad. She sets our foreign policy. She decides which regimes we fund and which we isolate. She chose to fund an agency infiltrated by terrorists.

She knows UNRWA cannot keep Hamas out. She knows tunnels were found under its facilities. She knows British money flows into Gaza with no oversight. She restored the funding anyway.

Cooper treats British foreign policy as a charity operation for terror sympathizers. She is not representing British interests. She is funding our enemies and calling it diplomacy.

Yvette Cooper is Foreign Secretary in name only. In practice, she is Hamas's foreign secretary.

[David Shaw @David90shaw]

🚨 YOU LITERALLY HAVE TO READ THIS TO BELIEVE IT.

If you own a home, have a pension, or plan to leave an inheritance, Andy Burnham's leaked economic plans should terrify you. 🤡

He is planning to scrap the capital gains tax "uplift on death," meaning grieving families will be hit with double tax bills on inherited family homes.

Begbies Chartered Accountants confirmed this double levy will hit grieving families with an effective 62% tax rate!

But it gets even worse.

Burnham wants to replace council tax with a new annual property tax of 0.48% of your home's value.

If you live in an average £553,000 house, you will be forced to pay £2,654 every single year just for the privilege of living in your own home!

They want to tax you while you live, tax you when you die, and tax your children for mourning you.

RT to expose the ultimate Labour wealth grab and demand a general election NOW! 🔁🇬🇧🔥

He stabbed JC in the back

He ignored the rape gangs when DPP

He lied to the electorate in 2024 and continues to this day

Zero leadership skills

Zero values (except his own wealth)

Southport visit gone in 60 seconds before heading back to London for drinks

Zero integrity

And finally a laughing stock on the world stage

This is quite incredible bullshit from the BBC.

I will go on any BBC show to discuss the rape gang inquiry report - they just refuse to cover it.

[James Esses @JamesEsses]

🚨Last night, Keir Starmer held a ‘Pride Reception’ at Downing Street.

So far, so normal.

However, trans activists in attendance reported that Starmer assured them that he is looking at a Motion which “disapproves” of the recent Code of Practice to preserve same-sex spaces.

Activists in attendance also had direct access to Ministers, in order to demand removing protections for medical professionals under the proposed conversion practices ban, insisting ‘trans history’ is taught in schools, and handing out Trans badges which were “proudly” warn by Ministers in attendance.

Labour cannot be trusted by anyone who cares about the safeguarding of women and children.
