I swear I recall Herr Starmer claiming he was going to "smash the gangs" which would prevent this kind of tragedy. Has this brilliant plan hit a bit of a snag or something? This comes as such a shock. I mean who would have thought that removing any kind of deterrent and giving an amnesty to illegal immigrants would lead to even more deaths in the channel?

Yes, it was a horrible tweet that she wouldn't have made if she wasn't so angry about 3 little girls being slaughtered by a 2nd generation immigrant. People do behave irrationally when angry. Do you think she should actually spend more time in jail than this guy who spent zero days in jail?

Do you have a link that proves the "alleged" murderer was a Christian at the time of the murders or are you just making up yet more fake news that you are accusing others of doing?

Trans women are NOT banned from elite sports. They have always been allowed to compete in the correct category for their sex, just like every other mediocre male "athlete". They are banned from elite sports in much the same way I am banned from elite sports by simply not being an elite sportsman.

Absolutely. The roads are so much safer with humans behind the wheel right? You can rely on humans not to drink and drive, read and send text messages, engage in road rage, smoke weed and do the myriad of other things that cause 20,000 deaths per year in Thailand alone. Good luck suing the guy in a truck who didn't have insurance, may or may not have a licence, doesn't have much money and was drunk whilst texting on his phone and crashed into you. I am guessing here but I would put money on humans being the cause of 99% of accidents that result in someones death rather than technical failure. The sooner technology removes the weak link in the car (the human), the sooner the roads will be safer and less congested. If humans had to meet the same safety standards consistently as self driving cars hardly anyone would be allowed to drive.

Any news on the violence from the Notting hill riots carnival yet where 50 police officers were attacked and 8 people were stabbed? Seems a bit more serious than someone pulling on someones car wing mirror. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c07e55159kro

Boris is a pro mass immigration, pro covid lockdown and pro net zero enthusiast. The correct party for him is either the Labour party or the Green party. The Tories will not get back in by repeating the mistakes of the past and they should look to recruit conservative candidates and do a better job of keeping non-conservatives out of the party.

Nigerian apparently. No indication of what visa he used to enter legally into the country as it's unlikely he would have been one of the engineers or scientists arriving on the small boats as they would have been busy doing science or engineering. It looks like Germany has had a bit of cultural enrichment yesterday also at a "Festival of diversity" where I am presuming that diversity is just a euphemism for mass stabbing. Quite a brutal way to find out that diversity is not really a strength for the wokies I guess. The police there have released a very detailed description describing the yet to be located assailant as a "man" so that should help track him down quickly enough so everyone can start to feel a bit safer there.

It's as though the demand is outstripping the supply in the housing market whereas the supply is outstripping the demand in the jobs market. Any idea what the cause of this could be?

There is definitely still freedom of speech to shout the most vile, racist, hateful abuse you can think of in the UK as the following story proves. So if you are not white you still can go there and be as hateful as you want to be against the police, the Jews, women and especially the white people as if you antagonize them and manage to get them to respond they are the ones who go to jail!! https://www.jewishnews.co.uk/disgust-over-cps-decision-to-drop-charges-against-remaining-palestine-convoy-suspects/

The UK refuses to publish crime statistics by nationality. Denmark did though.

Nobody (as far as I know) was stabbed, raped or killed during the "far right" riots, yet the media and people who consume it seem to think that this is the extent of or the worst criminality ever in the UK. The UK is now the rape capital or Europe which I think recently overtook Sweden for this crown. Law and order has been under serious attack since the UK lost control of its borders and locking up some thuggish people who threw a few cans, gesticulated at the police or shared some hurty memes on Facebook doesn't change this one iota. Burying of head in the sand like Herr Starmer hoping it passes will not fix anything as the horrors will continue unabated. https://www.statista.com/statistics/283100/recorded-rape-offences-in-england-and-wales/#:~:text=Rape offences have increased dramatically,to 67%2C928 in 2023%2F24.

I said "Most people who have working eyes and ears would describe it as 2 tier policing e.g" I didn't say everyone would describe it as 2 tier policing, only most. Maybe a trip to specsavers is in order?

I personally find it embarrassing that my own country has publicly stated such ridiculous overreach. It's a testament to their stupidity that they think they can control and restrict speech not just in the UK but also in America, where freedom of speech is written into the actual constitution. There is no extradition law that can be used to extradite someone who has committed wrong think to the UK when wrong think is not a crime in the US. People around the world are laughing at the UK and the people that represent the UK. Putin with a bit of opportunistic trolling has even offered to provide sanctuary for people suffering under western leftist authoritarian ideology. https://www.businessinsider.com/putin-russia-safe-haven-for-people-escaping-western-liberal-ideals-2024-8

We haven't even got to the stage where their anti-growth policies kick in yet, and energy prices are due to rise by 9% in October as well as inevitable yet to be announced tax rises, all of which is going to make people poorer and more discontented. Another 3 stabbings yesterday by an as yet "unnamed man" and the illegal immigrants coming on boats is 5500, yet they have time to worry about the likes of Joey Barton observing that women's football is a lower quality than mens football. Today is the current high point for the Labour government and it is going to continue to spiral downwards. They are clowns, but not the entertaining kind.

Most people who have working eyes and ears would describe it as 2 tier policing e.g Harehills riots arrests: 27 Southport riots arrests: 1000+

The Labour government has turned the UK into a laughing stock around the world in just 6 weeks. It is no longer a serious country.

I knew there would be some mental gymnastics going on. He is being released. He will be released. On 9th September. Hurty word tweeter is going to jail for 3 years. Man involved in the killing of a 14 year old child will be released after 6 months. I know you don't like facts, but they are what they are. Take it up with Herr Starmer if you don't like the facts.

If the prisons are full then of course he is being released to make room for a rioter someone who posted a few mean tweets, otherwise there would be nowhere to house the hurty word tweeter. So we have someone involved in the killing of a 14 year old child serving just 6 months and someone who typed in a few mean words on twitter jailed for 3 years. You cannot blame the conservatives for putting someone who posted mean tweets in jail. They are not in government. It is the authoritarian tyrants from Labour doing this.

Bit early to be drinking isn't it? Anyway, the victims parents have been phoned by the prison service to tell them it is happening and he will be released (with all the others) on 9th September. Whatever mental gymnastics you try and do to rationalize this won't change the fact that someone who published a few hurty word tweets and harmed nobody has been sentenced to 3 years in jail, and someone responsible for killing a 14 year old child will be released after just 6 months. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13713889/mother-teen-killed-machete-attack-killers-released.html Welcome to the reality of Labour's Britain.

Of course I do. I am not a leftist so do not need to make things up as the truth is horrible enough. If you are impatient for links in future a good search term to tap into google for this would be "killer released early uk" and will give you a wide range of articles to review for accuracy.

Here you go. I'm sure everyone feels much safer now a hurty word tweeter is in jail for 3 years and this person who killed a 14 year old child is back on the streets after just 6 months to make room for him. I have no problem with people who committed violence or arson being given harsh punishments (so long as this is applied to everyone who commits similar offenses both now and in the future), but I do have a problem with people who were not violent who just sent mean tweets being sent to prison for their first offenses. https://www.itv.com/news/tyne-tees/2024-08-06/teens-killer-set-for-early-release-due-to-prison-overcrowding

Unless you are a member of the inner party they will come for the likes of you too eventually. Also remember that in order to free up space for someone making some unpleasant tweets on social media, they released actual killers onto the streets early from their already shorter than 3 year sentence.

The tube could be automated today. Nurses cannot (yet).

I would bet large sums of money that Starmer is practically salivating at the prospect of bringing them into the UK as well, and has already had discussions about this.
