Two Harrow council enforcement officers threatened a member of the public, boasted that the police will "fuck you up" because they work with them, then switch off their body cams. They've now been sacked. Are proper background checks and vetting procedures actually being carried out before they're handed positions of authority? If you work for a council, you work for the British public.

And remember we also have one of the worst pensions in Europe. One of the very least generous in the whole G7 👇🏼👏🏻
The full UK State Pension is now worth around £12,548 a year. That's less than half the earnings of someone working full-time on the National Minimum Wage, despite many pensioners paying taxes and National Insurance for 40, 50 or even 60 years. Yet every time the Treasury needs money, the same voices appear demanding the Triple Lock be scrapped. Why? State pension spending is forecast at around £154 billion this year, but that supports over 13 million pensioners, many of whom rely on it as their primary income. Meanwhile, billions continue to disappear into failed projects, government waste, bureaucracy, consultants, quangos and policies that deliver little value to ordinary taxpayers. The Triple Lock isn't some gold-plated luxury. It exists because politicians allowed the State Pension to fall behind for decades. Even today, a full State Pension is barely above the poverty line and is nowhere near a typical working wage. If politicians want to save money, start with waste, inefficiency and failed spending programmes. Leave pensioners alone. They worked, they paid in, they built this country and they deserve dignity in retirement, not another raid on their income.

(PLEASE SHARE) I’m not exactly sure when police were allowed to start punching people in the face especially while handcuffed and detained! That’s assault #police #policebrutality

A no brainer for us this one. From our first meeting we was both on the same page in terms of making it happen. Turned down far bigger offers than us financially but he wanted to come home and we are delighted he’s back in the building. Still young and hungry to go again. 👊💙
HE'S BACK!💨 We are delighted to welcome George Wind back to the Blues! Windy joined the club in 2021 before earning a move to Southend United in 2024, and following his departure, returns to New Lodge ahead of the new season ✍️ #BTFC

Keir Starmer: “you will feel the full force of the law” Shame, those Muslim brothers at Manchester airport didn’t.

🚨 NOW: Police are using WATER CANNONS to push back people protesting a KNIFE ATTACK by a migrant in Belfast, Ireland I guarantee police would NOT use these if MIGRANTS were the ones rioting. Total double standard.

The UK plans to ‘Crack down’ on X because it’s not ‘Free Speech’ and because it fuels ‘Hatred’… Reality: X is the only platform where Citizens can learn of the Treason that their Governments are committing against them…

Isn't this you happily shaking hands with the Syrian President, Ahmed al-Sharaa, who led an Al-Qaeda linked terror group which carried out multiple beheadings? Just checking on your tolerance levels for this sort of stuff @Keir_Starmer
The horrific attack in Belfast last night is sickening. I have absolutely no tolerance for abhorrent scenes of violence like this on our streets. My thoughts are first and foremost with the victim, and I thank the first responders, including members of the public who intervened.

Way to go Sally & @SFMMarkets
The Somerset Farmhouse of 1 North Street, Williton were approached by a "food influencer" that wanted to charge them £2,000 for a review. They put out a video of Sally eating a sausage roll instead 😆. Lets make Sally and the Somerset Farmhouse famous for free.

A 50 year old dad of three. A man who served his country and was simply standing off to the side watching events unfold. Gets set upon by a bunch of hyper violent thugs from the hive of wokery that purports to be a police force. The vile and disgusting @HantsPolice It is crystal clear Hampshire that you have a culture of callous cruelty. Those disgusting thugs should be in the cells right now, next to their cruel heartless colleagues who handcuffed Henry and watched him die. You have no right to call yourselves police. You are despicable tyrants.
A 50yo dad-of-three military veteran with 13 pins in his ankle, but that didn’t stop a dozen police officers beating the hell out of him. The public support for the police is in its death throes.

🚨STARMER’S BLATANT HYPOCRISY EXPOSED! 🤔 Perfect example of Two-Tier Keir. Video 1 (2020): Starmer viciously attacks Trump for his response to the rioters after George Floyd’s death, calling it an “affront to humanity” and defending the unrest as “peaceful protests” by people “rightly demanding justice”. “Like you, I was shocked and angered by the killing of George Floyd. And the response of President Trump and US authorities to the peaceful protests, to people rightly demanding justice, has been an affront to humanity.” Video 2 (Today): Starmer condemns the “disgraceful” rioters in the wake of Henry Nowak’s tragic murder and his shocking treatment by police. “No matter the pain we feel, there is no justification for violence and disorder. Let me be clear, we will ensure anyone found engaging in disorder meets the full force of the law.” Why the blatant double standard, Keir? Either rioting is bad or it isn’t? You’re “shocked and angered” and label Trump’s crackdown an “affront to humanity”… but now you’re cracking down hard when people “demand justice” after Henry Nowak. Are you the “affront to humanity” for condemning these rioters? Two-Tier Keir exposed for the world to see.

Unbelievable. @SkyNews dedicated an entire TV channel to livestream the ENTIRETY of George Floyd’s murder trial. The feed ran live from 3pm to 11pm BST, Monday to Friday. They DIDN’T live broadcast Henry Nowak’s case statement today… let that sink in. Neither did BBC News. Only @GBNEWS covered it live. Do you see the issue with these establishment news channels and their unabashed bias? Shame on them.
