Learings will be taken from this.....😳
🚨TWO TIERED POLICING This is Emily Geer. She captured her own assault on camera and handed it to Greater Manchester Police, only to be told officers dropped the case because the suspect simply ignored their letters and knocks at his door. Emily Geer, 33, was walking along Oxford Road on her way to study at the University of Manchester when she noticed a man following her and another woman. When the man kept stopping and looking back at her, the Master's student started filming on her phone and asked him why he was staring. The video footage captured the man appearing to lash out and strike her. Emily handed the video over to Greater Manchester Police immediately, gave a full statement from her home, and received a crime reference number. Officers initially told her they were pleased with the footage and spoke positively about the evidence. Yet seven months later, Emily received a text message from the investigating officer confirming the entire case had been closed with no further action taken. The force explained that they had tried to set up a voluntary interview without arrest, but the suspect refused to engage with letters, phone calls, or visits to his house. Officers then requested his arrest, but told Emily that "ongoing operational demand and resource pressures" meant those attempts were limited and unsuccessful. The six-month statutory time limit to prosecute the offence then ran out, forcing police to shut down the file entirely. Emily says the decision has left her terrified because the man knows she tried to have him arrested and still frequents the area. "It just seems as though they have just given up," she said. Greater Manchester Police admitted the case fell short of acceptable standards, stating: "We acknowledge that in this case, the investigation fell short of the standards our communities should expect. Learnings will be taken from it to ensure that investigations are progressed quickly to ensure the best possible outcome for victims."

A Palestinian wedding in Hebron, West Bank, has sparked outrage after a camel was abused by wedding guests. The men were filmed forcing the camel to drink energy drinks and dancing on its back.

The risky business of grifting.....😄
This is not not AI. It's truly heartbreaking.

It was a 100% certainty that the assailant wouldn't pull through after their fictitious far-right insinuations were found out.
Polands minister misled the world.

I want to hear this argument from the performing arts woketards on the left.
Russell Brand has just been given over ten years in prison. Can anyone tell me which court and on what date, the hundreds of Pakistani men who raped thousands of children over many years will be appearing?

No wonder. This is the State deciding who gets your savings.....
I read this open mouthed. Are You happy for energy companies to be able to access your finances and charge you more to help someone less well off?!?

Must remember to shout GENOCIDE the next time we're camping in the pissing rain 🙄
The genocide of Palestinians continues every day, there is no excuse for allowing this to happen

We need duplicate amounts of gas and nuclear back-up for when renewables are ineffective. That's the additional cost, and additional carbon consequence, of the windmill woo-woo cult and its madcap supporters. Bin the mills.
Gas at 70% this morning it's almost as if weather based renewables are useless in foggy, still winter air. The total generating capacity of wind and solar in the United Kingdom is approximately 48.5 to 50.8 GW yet they're only pushing out a measly 2.2GW.

New York's off my list. These guys are a danger to the public.
Two Muslim cops in New York stopped a nurse for no apparent reason other than that she was walking her dog. They cornered her and threatened to seize her dog. When confronted, they got angry and couldn’t say what law she had broken. This is what happens when you give these people power. All I can say is that she was lucky there were passersby, because it was 3 AM and things could’ve ended much worse.

Even more surprising is that the BBC etc have 'suddenly realised' that something's happening in Poland, and, perhaps unsurprisingly, only what Tusk tells them 🤔
Stop 🛑 dezinformacji i manipulacji międzynarodowymi mediami przez polski Rząd. Skierowałem właśnie do ministra @MSWiA_GOV_PL @MKierwinski interpelację o następującej treści: Szanowny Panie Ministrze, Podczas konferencji prasowej która odbyła się dnia 7.11.2026 stwierdził Pan, że zamachowiec który dokonał masakry w Krakowie był „zafascynowany ideologiami skrajnie prawicowymi”. Pana słowa następnie były cytowane oraz parafrazowane przez wszystkie czołowe media na świecie: tezę o tym, że zamachowcem była osoba o skrajnie prawicowych poglądach powieliły m.in. BBC, CNN, Reuters, Bloomberg, The Washington Post, Guardian, The Telegraph oraz AFP. Wykorzystana została również ona przez @BMeinl Beate Meinl-Reisinger, austriacką Minister Spraw Zagranicznych. Napływające z wielu źródeł doniesienia świadczą o tym, że poglądy zamachowca były skrajnie odmienne od poglądów uznawanych za prawicowe oraz że angażował się on m.in. w proaborcyjne protesty środowisk feministycznych. Świadczy to o tym, że w tak newralgicznym dla Polski momencie, rozsiewał Pan dezinformację w celu uzyskania korzyści przez reprezentowane przez Pana środowisko polityczne. W związku z powyższym, zwracam się do Pana o odpowiedź na następujące pytania: 1. Czy tezę o fascynacji prawicowymi ideologiami przez zamachowca przedstawił pan na polecenie lub sugestię Premiera Donalda Tuska? 2. Na bazie jakich konkretnie informacji którymi pan dysponował, publicznie zaprezentował pan tę tezę? Kto panu przekazał te informacje? Proszę o wskazanie konkretnej instytucji oraz osoby jej reprezentującej. 3. W jaki sposób zamierza Pan sprostować przekazane przez Pana fałszywe informacje? Czy wyda Pan oficjalne oświadczenie oraz skieruje prośbę o sprostowanie podanej przez Pana dezinformacji bezpośrednio do wymienionych wyżej mediow?

Tusk, desperate for his gotcha, can't wait to drop an armed lunatic into his political pigeon hole of choice, even before the blood is cleared from the streets. The people of Poland will remember.
Donald Tusk et son ministre de l’Intérieur ont qualifié l’attentat de Cracovie de radicalisation d’extrême droite en quelques heures. Le même jour, les profils Facebook de Michał Oksiński ont disparu. Le même jour, on a commencé à expliquer que les captures qui circulaient n’avaient « aucune valeur » parce qu’elles dataient de 2019-2021. Ces captures montrent pourtant un adolescent qui pose avec un masque à gaz et un drapeau arc-en-ciel, qui se moque du pape, qui valide un commentaire sur « la lumière rouge du communisme » en répondant « message subliminal XD ». Ce n’est pas le profil-type de « l’ultranationaliste polonais »qu’on nous décrit depuis hier. C’est le profil d’un gamin provocateur, anti-clérical, qui mélange symboles nationaux et références de gauche. Rien de plus, rien de moins, pour l’instant. Pendant ce temps, on se souvient des attentats où l’assaillant criait « Allahu Akbar », avait des antécédents connus, parfois même une revendication claire, et où les mêmes responsables politiques mettaient des semaines à prononcer les mots « terrorisme islamiste ». On nous expliquait alors qu’il fallait « attendre les résultats de l’enquête », « éviter les conclusions hâtives », « ne pas faire d’amalgames ». Ici, la case a été cochée avant même que l’enquête ait produit un manifeste, une affiliation, ou une preuve récente. La question n’est pas de savoir si Oksiński était « d’extrême droite » ou de « d’extrême gauche ». La question est pourquoi, dans un cas, on attend les faits, et dans l’autre, on les précède. Les seuls éléments numériques qui contredisent le récit officiel ont disparu si vite, alors que la famille du tireur a été retrouvée morte au domicile. Ce n’est pas du complotisme. C’est le constat, désormais partagé par une partie non négligeable de la population, que la confiance dans le récit officiel s’est fortement érodée.

I'd be more worried if he left the satchel.......😬 Remember, it's islamawareness month 😜
🚨Asda driver parks outside a house, opens the refrigerated van, then spends time on a prayer mat while the food sits there. If your delivery is late and warm, this is why.

Checking the history and records of my Great Grandfather, who fought and died for our great country in WW1 with his 2nd KOSB regiment at Lys. I've been to his grave twice and will go again, with my son, who has benefitted from his sacrifice. He didn't die for this shitshow.
As we approach Remembrance Sunday, we remember with the utmost gratitude and respect not just the sacrifices of the past, but the courage of our Armed Forces today.

ProPal ignoZombies defecating our streets again........
I bumped into pro-Pals in Brighton today who had leaflets saying Zionism is racism. I simply asked if Arab-Israelis were racists and this lady didn’t know who they were. Another started calling me a “Nazi” and aggressively shoved his leaflet in my face. Ignorant and violent.

They say that two-tier justice is a fallacy perpetuated by racists, bigots, right wing extremists etc. etc. But we then read about this and similar cases EVERY SINGLE DAY Do our eyes and ears deceive us, or are our elected masters coming the khunt?
A West Yorkshire police community support officer has been found guilty of passing confidential information to members of a gang behind a machete attack which resulted in one man having his hand cut off. Alice Dobson, 31, was found guilty of sharing details of the police investigation with Rahees Khan, 43, who was one of five men found guilty of conspiracy to murder. Bradford Crown Court heard victim Zayad Khan has his left hand severed and his right leg partially amputated in the attack in Bradford in 2025. A second man was also injured. The verdicts in the trial were returned by Judge Jonathan Rose after he discharged the jury following allegations of jury tampering. After delivering his ruling, Judge Rose told the five men: "You have been convicted of grave offences. They are serious offences that will inevitably result in serious sentences."Of course it’s Bradford. West Yorkshire police have been hit with so many scandals in recent memory, wtf is going on with them? So she was converted into the religion of peace. She got bail, but Lucy Connolly didn't (for tweeting). Be interested to see how the sentences compare. A serving officer accessed the database to blackmail a guy for using a sex worker. He wanted a grand. He got found out, got 18 months, increased to 36 on appeal since serving police officers are kept to a higher standard. But he was a white, British male. Then you have that Polish guy who threw an empty can towards a police officer during Henry Nowak protests. 3 years custodial sentence.
