What is Newcastle-under-Lyme Council playing at?
They’ve had ONE complaint about the parish church bells ringing, so they’ve ordered them to stop after 137 years.
This kind of bureaucratic idiocy ruins modern life, by making it a little worse and a little less free every day.
These are the 6 Sadistic Psychopaths who murdered Kind, Friendly, Beautiful, Loving & compassionate innocent #WangWangAndPuppies .
It’s unbelievable they are permitted to walk about freely.
Age is no excuse. So they continue……….Wait, worse will come from these Evil Monsters
Does anybody else agree that halal slaughter should be BANNED in this country?
In my view it doesn't belong here. Slaughtering animals without stunning them is barbaric and cruel, and it's not in keeping with our culture and traditions.
We are a NATION OF ANIMAL LOVERS. 🇬🇧
Denmark has already banned slaughter without stunning. Why can't we?
Behind his eyes are years of pain, countless emotions and an unbreakable determination. The suffering is there, the exhaustion is there, but so is the courage.
And despite everything, he remains determined to lead his country towards a future of freedom.
This man is Legend🇺🇦
Respect for Volodymyr Zelensky 🫡❤️
These subhuman scum are still walking and breathing. There’s not 1 person in that country of 1.4Bn who’ll deal with them. What a totally pathetic vile place.
Hey @elonmusk! A message from Poland’s Foreign Minister, @sikorskiradek
– Poland pays $50 MILLION a year for 29,000 Starlink terminals for Ukraine. We're your customers, Elon. Customers expect a service, not political games. And remember: politics is harder than you thought. 😉
One more thing. Did any Russian money help you buy Twitter? Care to answer, Elon? 🎥👇
Watch our exclusive interview at @sprawdzamto_pl
It was at this exact moment Volodymyr Zelensky said to himself: “Fuck Jared Kushner. Fuck this meeting. I’ve got Russian oil refineries to blow up.” 🇺🇦
Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff talked with Putin about taking over Lukoil's Volgograd oil refinery to pressure Ukraine into surrendering.
So of course, Ukraine bombed it Slava Ukraini!🔥🔥🔥
And there you have it
The US has lost its measles elimination status
It took 35 years to achieve
Undone by just 2 years of RFK Jr and MAHA
Absolutely pathetic
- Giorgia Meloni : PM of Italy
"Accepting the occupation of Crimea would mean accepting that stronger nations can redraw borders by force.
Crimea is internationally recognized as part of Ukraine, and no illegal annexation can change that reality.”
.........
She is great😉
There is nothing more to add; Crimea is legally Ukrainian territory.
Putin recognized Crimea as part of Ukraine with his signature in 2003.
It is evident here that the treaty has become nothing more than a piece of paper for the Russians.!!
POST OFFICE FIGHTS PATRICIA OWEN'S POSTHUMOUS CAPTURE APPEAL
Patricia Owen ran Broad Oak Post Office near Canterbury.
Her own lawyers commissioned a report warning about the system her conviction rested on. The Post Office had a copy.
The system was Capture, used in up to 2,500 branches between 1992 and 1999, before Horizon. Her daughter, Juliet Shardlow, says Patricia Owen paid for it herself and that the branch was a huge success until it went in.
A routine check in November 1995 showed an overclaim on pension and allowance payments. A special audit in September 1996 led to her computer equipment being seized. @PostOffice alleged Patricia Owen had manipulated the Capture accounts to inflate payment claims. She denied it.
On 12 June 1998 she was convicted of 5 counts of theft at Canterbury Crown Court over a reported £6,000 shortfall. She got 6 months in prison, suspended for 2 years. A single judge refused her leave to appeal. The full court refused it again.
Now the report. Her solicitors commissioned it and @SkyNews reported it was served on the Post Office in 1998.
Sky News said it called Capture an accident waiting to happen.
Sky News has also seen documents suggesting the jury may never have seen it.
Adrian Montagu, the expert behind it, told Sky News that Patricia Owen's barrister stood him down partway through the trial with no reason given. The barrister told Sky News he has no recollection of it. The family had always believed Adrian Montagu never turned up.
Patricia Owen died in April 2003. Her family applied to the Criminal Cases Review Commission @ccrcupdate in January 2024. On 15 October 2025 it sent her conviction to the Court of Appeal on the ground that her prosecution was an abuse of process.
It is the first Capture conviction to go there.
Nigel Railton, chair of the Post Office, told MPs in January 2026 that he wanted all Capture convictions quashed. The Post Office has accepted that flaws in Capture made convictions relying on it unsafe. It confirmed in May 2026 that it is contesting Patricia Owen's appeal, saying its response is subject to extensive legal advice.
In December 2025 it also asked for extra time to respond, from 5 December to 30 January. It said it deeply regretted the effect on her family.
The Post Office is owned by the government. Nigel Railton says the only route to quashing every Capture conviction is legislation from government, as happened with Horizon.
No ruling has been reported. Patricia Owen died with the conviction on her record and her family is still waiting for the Court of Appeal.
You don't get to shell Ukrainian kids' schools on Monday and skate onto Canadian ice on Friday like nothing happened. 🇨🇦🏒
PM Carney: "As long as that's going on, there will be none of those athletes competing for their countries in Canada."
No Russian flag. No Belarusian flag. No visas, not even under a "neutral" one.
That's the Canada I know. Elbows up.
Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦🇨🇦 #CanadianBakin #NAFO
🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
According to CNN, Zelensky’s workday begins between 3 and 4 in the morning, when the first battlefield reports arrive.
He drinks strong black coffee, no sugar, to push through the early hours.
Even under constant pressure, he has not lost his sense of humor and still finds brief moments to reset.
The years of war, strain, and emotional weight are visible on him. No one carries that kind of burden without it showing.
And yet he remains standing.
Respect to Volodymyr Zelensky.
