I love these railway posters but I’m choosy, I don’t like the
‘In your face’ bright colours of some
These two are easy to see and the colours representative of the places they are advertising ,
You want to know what's worse than incompetence? Knowing the truth and burying it anyway.
They knew. That's the bit nobody is saying. They knew.
Two days after Henry died Hampshire Police secretly recorded Digwa in a police van speaking Punjabi to his brother. Digwa admitted stabbing Henry. Discussed claiming self defence. Made zero mention of racial abuse. Not one word.
Hampshire Police had that tape.
They knew Digwa was lying about the racist attack. They had the evidence. They had his own words and then tried to smear Henry as the aggressor anyway.
Three days after his death their statement read “it was reported two men had been assaulted by an unknown man.” Henry was the unknown man. The boy bleeding out on the street. They flipped it.
Family complained. Statement changed. Then police told the family their NEXT update would again infer Henry was the initial aggressor. His family had to fight them a second time. While grieving their murdered son.
Then during the trial Hampshire tried to issue a statement telling the public to stop talking about it online. Calling it disinformation. The CPS had to step in. Told them they were about to collapse their own murder case.
This is the force that handcuffed a dying boy. Missed the murder weapon twice. Had a secret tape proving the killer lied. And still tried to bury Henry's name.
That's not incompetence. That's a machine protecting itself. At the expense of a dead boy's reputation and three officers are still on active duty. Not suspended. Treated as witnesses. To their own actions.
Hampshire Police didn't just fail Henry on that street. They kept failing him for six months after he died.
We are urgently appealing for information to help find a vulnerable missing man from Southport.
Inquiries have been ongoing since Stephen Molloy, aged 60, was first reported missing three days ago and we are continuing to ask local residents in Southport and the bordering areas of Lancashire to contact us as a matter of urgency if they see him.
Stephen went missing at around 9.50pm on Thursday 4 June and was last seen in the Town Lane Kew area. It’s believed he could still be nearby, but it's also possible he travelled further afield most likely on foot or public transport.
Detective Chief Superintendent Helen Bennett said: “We are becoming increasingly concerned for the welfare of Mr Molloy and inquiries are ongoing to find him.
“We believe it’s likely that he’s still in the Southport or Lancashire border area, so we are asking local residents to please let us know if you see him. Stephen also has links to Crosby, so it’s possible he may have travelled to this area of Sefton.
“We don’t believe he has any money, so if you have offered Stephen a lift or have helped him in any way over the last three days then please let us know.
“Stephen is vulnerable and struggles to communicate. It’s possible that he’s taken shelter since he went missing on Thursday evening because he feels safe in dark places. I'd therefore ask anyone who has an outhouse or any form of shelter in a front or rear garden that could be accessible to please check.
"If you live on or near farmland it could also be possible that’s he’s sought shelter within your grounds.
“We will act on any information provided so please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you see him or you think you may have any information that could assist our ongoing inquiries.”
Stephen is described as being around 6ft tall has a slim build and dark brown hair.
When last seen, he was wearing a black jumper, blue jeans and carrying a bright yellow bag. We do not believe he currently has the yellow bag with him.
If you see him, please call 999 so we can make sure he's safe.
25 years of never earning a penny you didn’t give him through tax.
Absolute zero real world experience.
Possible next PM. Jesus wept.
Andy Burnham. Andy. Fucking. Burnham.
A man who has spent thirty years with his hand in the public till and his eye on the mirror, who has never once in his entire adult life had to worry about where next month’s money was coming from because next month’s money was always, always, coming from you.
Prime Minister. He wants to be Prime Minister. A man whose entire preparation for managing the sixth largest economy on earth consists of running buses in Salford and once making a Chancellor look bad on the evening news. That’s it. That’s the CV. That’s what we’re being asked to get excited about.
He’s never hired anyone with his own money. Never lost a contract. Never had a customer tell him to get stuffed. Never stayed up until the small hours wondering if the payroll clears and his staff can pay their rent or feed their families. The concept of economic risk to Andy Burnham is entirely theoretical. It is an abstraction. It is something that happens to other people in constituencies he visits before elections.
What he has done - and credit where due, he’s done it with genuine artistry - is spend three decades constructing a man. A specific, careful, field-tested human adult man. Caring but tough. Northern but serious. Principled but electable. A man who emotes on cue, lands in the news cycle like he was dropped from a helicopter by PLMR, genuinely sincere. Scheduled sincerity. Every fifteen minutes, on the hour. Every hour.
The Hillsborough stuff is real. Fine. One moment of genuine courage in thirty years of professional positioning. One. And it’s still doing press tours.
PM. Jesus.
I’m so tired, man.

No one paints Fair Isle and other patterns like she does
I could look at these all day
People living in 1960s Scotswood in Newcastle give heartbreaking accounts as to the anticlimax of living in flats compared to the homes that once gave them privacy, dignity, and a sense of worth.
The elderly lady discussing her loneliness towards the end really got me. People try to tell us that high rises and the birth of internationalist modernity was a good thing but in reality people could see and feel that it was unnatural from the very start. ⏳
My son was punched in an unprovoked attack on a night out on April 26th. His jaw was broke in 2 places. He reported it to Police giving the name of the man (he has a criminal record), the name of where it happened as the bouncers witnessed it and there was cctv. My son had to have surgery and a metal plate fitted to fix his jaw, he still isn't able to eat solid food. The man, who happens to be a professional boxer, still hasnt been arrested. We have been told that they will keep us updated every 28 days
Just a quick word to say hi, and thank you, to all those new followers who’ve joined me over the past week. I don’t know how many but it’s been quite a few. Thanks for the honour, I hope you enjoy the ride.
For those who don’t know, I’m a month in from being told my Leukaemia is going to kill me within 3-6 months. That’s what I was told 14 years ago, 13 years ago and six years ago for different cancers. I’m still here but I think they may be onto something this time.
Please don’t send me any magic cancer cures, I’m all stocked up here. When it’s time to go it’s time to go.
Meanwhile, no mealy-mouthed politician, hypocrite or grifter is going to get an easy ride from me. You take the shilling, you do the job and you do it right.
While I’m here I’m going to make two shameless plugs:
1. ClipFest26 - Next Saturday, Google it, it’s never going to be repeated.
2. My memoir, One Short Life, get it on Amazon and please, leave a review, say whatever you like about it, just give me five 🌟 okay?
I’ll be at Lavender Hill Magistrates on Wednesday if you happen to frequent that quaint hostelry? I have to argue why the court shouldn’t take my wife’s driving licence just because she has 12 points on it and 12 more in the pipeline. This should be interesting. 🤨
Keir Starmer: "We need to respect Henry Nowak's family's wishes."
Henry Nowak's Family: "We don't want Sikhs to be allowed to carry offensive weapons in the streets and we want an end to two-tier justice in the UK."
Kier Starmer: "No, OMG not those wishes!!! LOL."
Somebody has taped a powerfully-written letter to the road sign just outside Southampton police station that sends a very clear message about how we feel after the Henry Nowak murder.

THE DOSSIER #1: Matt Turmaine MP – Career Politician Exposed
Matt Turmaine,
Fifty-five years old. Twenty-one years of trying to get elected. Failed in 2006. Failed in 2010. Failed in 2015. Failed in 2019. Finally slithered into a safe seat in 2024 when Labour could have won with a donkey wearing a red rosette.
You spent four years at the BBC in public relations. Spin. Lies. Packaging failure as success. UNISON member. Then Hertfordshire County Council. Then Watford Council for thirteen years. Now Parliament. Never ran a business. Never met a payroll. Never created a job. Just public sector trough to public sector trough.
You campaigned on reducing taxes for Watford families. Then you voted for higher taxes. You promised shorter hospital waits. Then you voted to keep the system broken. You pledged to recruit teachers. Then you voted for VAT on private school fees that drives them out.
You voted to scrap winter fuel payments for Watford pensioners. Thousands of your constituents. The people who voted you in. You took their heating money and called it "means-testing." You called it "fair." You called it "tough choices" while your salary stayed untouched.
Ninety-eight percent Labour line. Not a single rebellion. Not one independent thought. A rubber stamp with a constituency office. A career politician who finally got his pension at fifty-five.
You are not an MP. You are a UNISON delegate with a parliamentary pass. The BBC trained you to spin. Labour trained you to obey. Watford trained you to wait your turn.
You waited twenty-one years. You got your seat. You got your committee place. You got your winter fuel payment while voting to take theirs.
Your seat is safe. Permanent exile awaits. Congratulations. You are The Dossier. Your betrayal of Britain is now complete.
The Bank of England DELIBERATELY FIXED the fake "public vote" to remove ALL historical figures from bank notes & replace them with nature images
Freedom of Information requests by the Telegraph reveal the decision to remove historical figures was based on a "focus group" of a mere 119 people
The Bank LIED because it previously claimed the decision was based on a "public vote".
In truth, however, even this vote was FIXED. Instead of having HISTORY v NATURE, the bank deliberately split the "history" category into 3 sections: historical events, historical figures, architecture & landmarks.
That was the only way that "nature" could win.
However, of course bank notes always combine at least two of those history categories. For example: Churchill & Parliament or Wellington & Waterloo.
The Bank's actions are indefensible and questions should be asked in the House.
The Bank of England has clearly been captured by progressive woke ideology. A visit to the Bank of England with its permanent exhibition on slavery makes that clear
This is part of the wider war on British history. It's an attempt to create a NEW BRITAIN, based on ridiculous myths that "Diversity Built Britain" and that Britain has always been multicultural.
Remember: the Bank of England issued a 50p coin (held aloft by Rishi Sunak) which was imprinted with the nonsensical statement: "Diversity Built Britain"
Anyone who lived behind the Iron Curtain will find all of this eerily and scarily familiar.
The pulling down of statues, the renaming of streets and schools, the rewriting of history, denigrating heroes, changing bank notes etc....these were all tactics of the communists.
Severing the connection between a people and their history is the best way to demoralise a society and prepare them for the imposition of new myths.
Me on @GBNews:
@Telegraph This is what happens when you focus on "equality of outcomes" and assume that any statistical different between racial groups must be due to inequality or racism. This is the end result.
Look at Lammy smile and laugh after he says "This young man [Vickrum Digwa] is a Brit!"
What's so funny, David?
Henry Nowak is dead. He was murdered by a family who never needed to be here, who lied to the police using the same antiracist ideology that you're using now to claim they are as British as I am.
Sick in the head.
Protests in Southampton tonight. Do NOT give the state ANY excuse to throw you in prison. Because they will use anything.
I know people are angry. I am angry. But do not throw your life away doing something you will later regret.
The police need to treat protestors fairly, and any unacceptable behaviour by any officers must be recorded and called out.
But I will say this again.
Do not get violent.
That is not how we win.
We win at the ballot box, peacefully and democratically.
We win by electing Restore Britain across our country.
It's the only way.
