Piers Morgan spent the entire interview trying to bully Kemi Badenoch into apologising for supporting Israel.
She didn’t blink. She didn’t bend. She simply refused to apologise for not hating the Jewish state.

This is a total disgrace.

It is absolutely not the role of the police to intimidate members of the public - especially while openly admitting no law has been broken.

An affront to free speech and a massive overstep of authority.

The public expects the police to focus on real crime, like stopping burglaries, not squandering taxpayer funded time and abusing their powers by actively undermining free speech.

🇬🇧 An unhinged UK cop arrested a man for simply filming in a public place somewhere in England.

One look at this guy and you'd think British police are now suffering from demonic possessions.

lekker time to bring out this old clip...
watch Jesse playing on the wing, bottom right.

AB's trap the Bok front row on the blind after a scrum, and then play back towards them on the next phase.

it is a move that worked against the Boks before.. but in this game Jesse was put on the wing & read it like a book.

Faf also masterful. and strong Bok scrum allows Siya to break of quickly to cover the strike.

But watch Jesse at the bottom tracking play 👌🏻

🚨UK Police Threaten Arrest for “Future Crime” – Minority Report Comes to Britain

UK police officer threatens to arrest a man for peacefully filming in public, because his presence “might” wind people up and cause someone else to lose their temper.

This is straight-up Minority Report policing.

They’re not arresting him for any actual crime. They’re not even claiming he’s breaking the law. They’re saying: “We can arrest you to prevent a breach of the peace” meaning, we’re going to punish you in case some random person gets angry at your legal activity.

Think about that. If someone gets so wound up by a camera that they want to attack the person holding it, the rational response is to arrest the aggressor, not the person exercising their right to film in a public space.

How on earth can you justify detaining someone for something that hasn’t happened and might never happen? It flips justice on its head: the person minding their own business (and their rights) becomes the problem, while potential troublemakers get their feelings protected by the state.

Officers should be de-escalating and protecting lawful behaviour, not threatening people with arrest for hypothetical future crimes by others.

Absolutely disgraceful.

Major Frank Prentice was 18 years old when he dropped over a hundred feet off the stern of the Titanic into a sea full of ice.

He survived. This is what he saw.

Prentice worked in the Purser's office.

He was in his cabin at midships when the collision happened. He describes no chaos, no impact, nothing dramatic:

"It was just like jamming your brakes on my car. There was no great impact you couldn't feel. Just a bit of a shudder and she stopped."

That quiet did not last.

As the ship began to sink, Prentice moved through it.

He helped stewardesses into lifeboats who did not know where to go. He helped a woman named Mrs. Clark with her lifejacket. She did not want to leave her husband. He told her the husband would follow on later.

He would not.

On his way back from the lifeboats, Prentice heard the band. They were playing "Nearer My God to Thee" and singing.

He kept walking.

When the end came, he made his way to the stern. He describes it as quiet up there.

By the time he let go, the ship was nearly vertical. He had been hanging onto a board that read "Keep Clear of Propeller Blades."

At the very last moment, he let go and fell.

"I just missed the propellers on the way down."

The drop was over a hundred feet. The water was packed with ice and chunks of berg.

His watch stopped at 2:20 am.

He was not alone in the water at first. Then he was.

"I gave it a long thought when I was on my own and everybody else seemed to be dead round me."

He had two life jackets and a cushion.

He paddled toward a light he could still see from the rockets the bridge had fired. He reached a lifeboat and climbed in.

Mrs. Clark was already there. She wrapped a blanket around him and tried to keep him warm.

Her husband had drowned.

When asked who was responsible for the disaster, Prentice did not hesitate.

He blamed the bridge. He blamed Bruce Ismay, chairman of the shipping line, for pushing Captain Smith to maintain speed through waters they had been warned were full of ice.

"We had warnings that there was ice. We had it from ships and shore, and we went straight ahead as if there was nothing there in our way."

His verdict was simple:

That ship was thrown away.

Prentice was interviewed decades later.

Asked if the memory still haunted him, he said:

"When I'm alone tonight, I still think a lot about it. Can't help it, can you?"

I am having a drink this evening with a friend in a Chiswick pub. Two policemen have just come into the pub and asked me to step outside. I have stepped outside and they have threatened me because I tweeted about a councillor banning seating outside pubs in Chiswick. They admit on video (watch it!) that I did not break the law at all. They came to threaten me. To warn me off tweeting about councillors and the council. This is modern Britain. This is the police state. Please, please, please watch this video. It does involve me using very bad language, but this has got to be seen. Police coming out to threaten someone who hasn’t committed a crime. I’m fuming.

HEARTBREAKING: Her 10-month-old baby was cut in half with a knife in front of her, her husband was shot dead, and she watched them split her second child's skull with a machete. They also cut off one of her hands.

We can maybe make the case with attack the way it is these days , that your 13 on defence has become one of the most critical specialists on the pitch, along with for instance your tighthead, or your lineout caller. etc.

The role was always hard, but these days I think the importance has gone up even more.

Boks lucky to have Jesse running the show 💪🏻

Part 155 of trying to renovate my garden using a ChatGPT design 🤖

The garden furniture finally turned up, so we got that built… and I can’t lie, seeing it all starting to come together has got me buzzing. 😍

We also got all the dwangs and stilts fitted to the composite decking frame, so we’re one big step closer to getting the boards down.

Still plenty to do, but it’s finally starting to look like the design we started with months ago. 👊

What do you reckon so far? 👇
