The UK is in such a mess I am not surprised there is a mental health crisis, especially with Starmer in charge. It poses an interesting philosophical question. Are people mentally ill as a result of living in Britain, or does one have to mentally ill to continue to live there? Most of my childhood friends who had anything about them have emigrated and are doing extremely well. The only one who remained who is successful works as a middle manager at the NHS. His wife "works from home", also for the NHS although she's always hosting coffee mornings for her friends when I visit. Occasionally a laptop can be seen, but rarely on. The rest of them struggle through an existence of huge mortgages, high energy prices, high taxation, poor public services, bad weather, high crime rates, changing Demographics etc. Couldn't pay me to live there.

Taking the boot off the neck of Hamas would be a big mistake. It's only a matter of time before they commit another atrocity like October 7.

Give it a rest. A few blokes in fancy dress protesting. The sentences were well over the top. It's not like they were gun toting, coke snorting, hooker using degenerates like the son "good ol' Joe" pardoned. The Libs need to get over it. Trump is in power now, and he isn't messing around this time.

Great news. Trump putting the safety of his people first as any strong leader of a nation state should. Enough of this pandering to Liberal hand wringers. Hopefully he takes an even harder line as his second term progresses.

He can start by listening to the public's very real concerns rather than lying to us, hiding the truth, trying to silence us with bullyboy tactics and labelling everyone who wants an end to this murderous terrorism "far right". I won't hold my breath though. This is mere lip service from a man under enormous, well deserved pressure.

Nah, all the Labour lot would get suspended sentences.

Certainly more useful than the pink "man bag" you'll get with your BYD(++).

Don't worry, I'm sure Starmer has a plan to replace these millionaires with many times that amount of cultural enrichers.

Yes you seem quite confused. You asked how there could be a cover up, so I explained it to you.

You sound surprised. This is the Met Police we are talking about.

Best you stay away from betting on sports. 😄

Hardly a surprise given the state of our current MP's. At least there wasn't physical violence, but then Mike Amesbury has already been removed by Labour. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14291817/Mike-Amesbury-kicked-Labour-Party-pleading-guilty-sucker-punching-constituent.html

It's known as 2 Tier policing. If that had been a right wing group, heads would have been cracked.

1. They are not "far right". They just aren't "far left". 2. There is nothing the EU can do to "deal with it". It's called Democracy, a concept they clearly dislike.

Not at all. I've owned many bull breeds. Currently have a Rednose American PitBull Terrier (and 6 "Thai" dogs). The only aggression from any of the bull breeds was towards other dogs, for obvious reasons (they were originally bred for dog fighting). But then, I treat them well and train them properly (without the use of violence). I speak from a position of experience. How many have you owned?

I've displayed my ability to predict a lot of things. The Brexit result, the Trump win being two of the more notable ones.

Same way as the rape gangs were. It generally involves some talking head being put in charge of the inquiry, who looks in the wrong place, finds little wrongdoing and then surprisingly gets a cushy promotion.

Because it will be revealed what the government knew and when they knew it. Us Brits do not like being lied to by our so called leaders.

Very sad. Looks like it was kept in a small cage, possibly trained with a stick. When raised in a loving home they are incredibly kind, funny and loyal dogs. People really need to be educated how to keep and train certain breeds.

Not looking good for Starmer now he no longer silence everyone on the basis of "prejudicing the trial". Another cover up it would seem. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2025/01/20/keir-starmer-police-covered-up-southport-terror-farage/

Not if it allows the current shower to remain in power. That issue will be sorted by the next election. I'd imagine one or the other will agree to remove candidates in certain areas where the split could lead to a Labour seat, and we will end up with a Reform/Conservative coalition. The only question is how much damage Labour can do to the country they despise before then.

Turns out he was reported to "Prevent" 3 times before he did the murder. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/20/world/europe/trial-southport-stabbings-uk-axel-rudakubana.html I guess the police were too busy with other things like policing social media for hurty tweets.

Nice puff piece in there with the obligatory "first day at school" picture. 😄

You have to scroll down about 3 pages to see it, and even then there is no picture (for obvious reasons) and they refer to him as an "18 year old" before mentioning the riots. The only surprise is they omitted the phrase "far right thugs" from the headline. Less important than weight loss drugs apparently.

Funny how the BBC are so quick to mention that this monster of a child killer was "from Lancashire". https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5y7g01682go Yet on the same page, all round nice guy and England international Cole Palmer was somehow "Made in the Caribbean" because he has a grandfather from St.Kitts who came over in the 1960's. 😄 https://www.bbc.com/sport/extra/en7wd155d9/cole-palmer-made-in-the-caribbean Gotta love the BBC and their narratives. I wonder when they will be running their "Made in Rwanda" story on Rudakubana? Oh that's right - they won't. Their double standards are breathtaking.
