Yep, spot on there... if you post hurty words for fragile ears, then a bunch of cops acting like the thought police will be round in minutes.

However, violent assault cases and grooming gang crimes are actively attempted to be buried, as they are so scared of the truth and that those committing these crimes don't reflect the far-left narrative. Hope they get at least ten years... should be hard labour and eating 18th century gruel and water 2 times a day. The UK needs a CECOT-style prison on some remote forsaken Scottish island to toss these types into.

Nonsense - ignorant nonsense at that.

Let's hope they don't have the same problems as with the scanning gates - they fail to read my passport 20% of the time and if you lose your phone you lose your visa. I believe a phone is at greater risk of theft/loss than a physical passport.

If you lose your phone you don't lose your visa. It is on their database.

Agree a physical passport is better, and they are not going away at all.

A Digital Passport for Internal travel?   555

Ok, call it a digital identity usable for for domestic flights. Is that better? That is exactly what it is.

Do you live in England Joesph ? i do. Explain to me and the other members why its took so long to bring this trial to Court ? and don't try and give us the old it takes time and a process has to be investigated. " WE" as in all the UK have a two tier police system fact. Are the goverment under Starmer frightened of losing the Muslim vote yes, why are all the rape gangs Muslim Particularly Pakistani there not Indians or Sikh. Are they protected yes. Is the truth hidden from us to prevent Racial tensions in towns and cities between white and Muslim yes.

I live in Thailand. I have lots of family in the UK.  You clearly don't know how the justice system works so you fill in the blanks with your own imagined scenarios.

1. It is a complex case with multiple parties involved, needing thorough investigations by Greater Manchester Police (GMP), the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), and the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). Yes, partly due to the complaints against the police violence, which was rightfully eventually dismissed.

2. Because there were accusations of police brutality that needed to be investigated, and there are racial/political undertones the CPS needed to go through all the evidence to make sure it was completely watertight, legally sound, defensible in court and there was no wriggle room for them to get out of it - surely that's a good thing? Or would you rather they rushed it through, there are holes their lawyers exploit and they get out of it via a loophole or a mistake in evidence collection just to satisfy the braying mob by rushing things?

3. They were charged in December, less than five months after their arrest. That is not unusual for a complex case with multiple agencies and complaints and a vast array of evidence to be examined. It is not a simple open and shut case no matter what you think.

4. They plead not guilty which meant it needs a criminal trial and has to be scheduled in to the criminal justice system which always has a significant backlog of cases. And this is expected to be a 3-4 week trial, no small matter.

All of the above is verifiable, usual, and the way the course of justice goes, especially in a sensitive case such as this. If the evidence is not absolutely nailed down before charges are brought and they get off on a technicality what do you think would happen? Riots on the streets probably, so let them do their jobs.

If they get let off to improve community relations or whatever nonsense term you use then you will have a rightful complaint and I would join you. But please stop imagining scenarios and the imaged reactions to them as it is all in your head.

Sorry, that video is completely incorrect, as is the title of this thread. 

From 15th July 2025 they are moving to a digital VISA system for certain types of visa (not all types) and are not issuing physical stickers anymore. However any previously issued physical visas still remain valid. 

From 2027 a digital passport will be coming but it is optional and only valid for internal UK travel, not international travel. And knowing how the Uk government handles tech I would expect that to be pushed back.

There are no changes to the PASSPORT system. Physical passports are still the norm.

Pretty much everything in that video is wrong.

Why has it took so long to bring this trial to Court ?? . How long does it take to review Camera footage ? why now the trial is underway has there been a ban on reporting the trial in the press ?. I can tell you 100% as I live in the UK if these were white they would have been in Court the next day and taken into custody till a trial date. There would not have been an investigation into police conduct. Like it or not the Police and system will do anything to prevent Muslims demonstrating if there convicted. So its likely they will get a slap the Wrist nothing more.  If we demand a retrial we will be threatened with incitment. A crime punished by jail time so we will be silenced.

Now you're getting indignant over things that you have imagined might happen (but haven't happened), and then what might happen to "you" (whoever your "we" is)  after that thing that might have happened (but hasn't happened), possibly happened. Way to go!

The pearl clutching is strong with this one.

You're getting closer. Most of them are heaps of old tech laden rubbish. Unsophisticated, cheap, shoddy. I can see why you like them.

I do like the Ford GT though. And the Hennessey Venom F5. So not true to say I don't like American cars full stop. I just don't like most of them.

They might ( or may not ) hold British Passports.

 

Being born in a stable, does not make you a horse.

 

 

Islam is not a race, never has been and never will be. Therefore the racist trope goes right out the window.

 

Just like having a fear of radical Muslims, does not make someone Islamophobic.

Ok ok, racism has nothing to do with it. 

If they were British born second or third generation white Christian immigrants from America you'd all be in the same tizz calling for them to be deported, calling them American (can't possibly be British - being born in a stable blah blah), questioning their religion (when it had nothing to do with the attack). Of course, how silly of me.

Carry on.

I didn't say it would never come to court. I said they would try to bury it, and they did try to do just that. Just as they buried the actions of the rape gangs out of fear of being called racist and just like they never searched the Manchester bombers backpack out of fear of being called racist. 

 

You really do live in a fantasy world. You and others constantly bringing this up, when others (like me) explained the due process is more complex as there are claims against the police and video of a police officer stamping on one of their heads. Once those claims were investigated and dismissed the criminal prosecution could proceed. It is how the law works, just that none of you wanted to hear that as you would rather believe your conspiracy theories that it is being buried.

I had full faith in the actions of Farage and Co. forcing the authorities to take action by threatening their own private prosecution.

 

They embarrassed them into taking action. Kudos to Mr Farage. 

You can't seriously believe this. You are Farage's wet dream, a blind follower who swallows everything unquestioningly. As explained above - and countless times in other threads - there is something called "due process" which needs to be followed and was being followed. Farage has got nothing to do with this other than jumping on a bandwagon to score points, much like Yaxley-Lennon and the grooming gangs.

Even one of your kind was on here the day before the trial started saying no arrests had been made in this case because they are Muslim. It is hilarious.

Great, thank you for that. I'll be sure to use his full name next time I decide to write something about him........which will be never.

And you be sure to call him Bob Vylans as you use Yaxley-Lennon's non-double barreled made up name. Wouldn't want any hypocrisy now, would we.

I have only referred to him once and I have no idea what his real name is. I'd never heard of the bloke before everyone got their knickers in a twist and used them to beat the BBC for their usual reasons.

that’s the best joke i've heard in a while … and it clearly shows you have no idea about electric cars, which makes you look really quite foolish ... 

 

I agree with that. Toyota spent years with their eyes and ears closed and hoped when they opened them again the whole EV thing would have gone away, even to the extent of spending millions on anti-EV propaganda which it seems Trouble and Grumpy has eagerly lapped up. Toyota are in no way competitive in the EV market. Don't forget some remarkable new engine that will kill EVs is "Just around the corner" and has been for a decade or more, and, frankly, doesn't exist at all.

Something surprised me though. I am currently working on some TV commercials for the 2026 Toyota bZ (they've dropped the 4x bit) for the American market. We shot them here using the 2023 model and are replacing the cars with CGI versions of the 2026 model as it was not available to shoot. So I have been spending a lot of time with CG models and tech info of the 2026 version. I have to say it is really nice. It looks clean and sharp and modern - a new front end from 2023, less blockiness and less plastic, upgraded interior, bigger battery, more range, faster charging, and a lot more power (around 380 bhp I think and 4.9 seconds to 100kmh). Also flappy paddles for different levels of regen.

I think it comes out second half of this year in the States. No idea about here.

I still think it will be way overpriced for here, I still wouldn't buy one (I would buy a BYD Sealion - faster, better spec etc), but it seems they might have figured out how to make a decent EV at last. Time will tell if this is a fluke or if it marks a change in attitude. Either way they have a heck of a lot of catching up to do.

Your the one that brought Tommy into a topic that has nothing to do with him.........

Yes, as an example to point out the hypocrisy of Jonny who was condemning Vylan for having a double barreled name but trying to pretend he hasn't. Yet he worships Yaxley-Lennon who does the exact same thing. Hypocisy of the highest order. It is perfectly fine to use examples to make a point you know.

And you're jumping in to a discussion between two posters that has nothing to do with you. Just thought I would point that out.

Oh, and then the poster came out with an outrageous lie that Yaxley-Lennon was jailed for "trying to expose the systemic rape of children.". So I took him to task on it because it is a ridiculous lie and if he genuinely believes that he has deeper issues than I thought.

Is that not allowed under your forum rules?

I can tell you one big difference. 

 

Tommy Robinson is jailed for trying to expose the systemic rape of children.

 

Oh dear oh dear Jonny. Yaxley-Lennon was jailed for contempt of court, nothing to do any rape of children. You really do love to make things up don't you. And Yaxley has pulled the wool right over your eyes if you truly believe he's been jailed for what you say, people like you are ideal followers for him: lapping up anything he can invent, not questioning anything, and - hopefully - donating.

Oh, and the rule about backing up claims with evidence? Here's why he is jailed in case you missed it - it was even reported in one of his favourite mouthpieces:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14010869/Tommy-Robinson-jailed-18-months-contempt-court.html

Where's your evidence to support your claim?

Your boy is cheered by white Liberal idiots for calling for the death of Jews.

 

I think you may have picked the wrong side again. 

Again with the made up nonsense. "My boy"? Where have I ever said anything about him? Why is he "my boy"?

I'd never heard of him until everyone jumped on this to blame the BBC. Don't care about him, his music, or his opinions. But he does sound like an idiot.

So again, please stop making stuff up - it is so childish. Not everyone is as black and white as you and your ilk. Some of us can objectively form opinions on things without automatically taking a side like you, and some of us have critical thinking abilities. I am left leaning, yet I can criticise Labour and Starmer when I need to. I don't support idiots shouting hatred on stage (although I do think it's been blown out of proportion somewhat and the cancel culture around it is unbelievably hypocritical). Can you say the same?

I am yet to see you display any critical thinking at all, just Yaxley is good, Trump is amazing (your sycophancy on this is quite disturbing by the way), Farage is God, Starmer is evil. And you have never ever looked an anything objectively or been even slightly critical of anything on the right, ever.

And you make up opinions for other people which makes it worse.
