Just been told 150 Met firearms officers from departments already understaffed are to be summarily sent back to response teams. I’m hearing that en masse firearms officers from multiple roles including protection officers are going to surrend their firearms tickets.

As the pass rate for firearms courses is circa 50% that means they will have to put around 300 officers through courses just to make up for the postings. Not only that but if Prots do it some very unprotected powerful people are going to twitch.

If SEG officers join in no more VIP escorts in London. If CT surveillance do it no more counter terrorism surveillance. All this after they were assured because of their training & shortages they would not be tenured. What a way to treat officers.

Every single person who still cringes at the memory of trying to bullshit their way through an interview or exam question: today, the slate is wiped clean. Set down your burden of shame. Nothing - nothing, I say - could touch this.

Absolutely scathing about Keir Starmer from Al Carns, who has just resigned. Massively digs out Starmer for prosecuting British war heroes. Good stuff.

Just a shout out to my cousin. Looked after his mother & daughter with terminal cancer & his wife with advanced dementia at the same time. He’s now battling advanced cancer himself. But he never complains. He’s always laughing & joking but I know it’s tough. Good luck Rich.

I’ve seen a lot of hysterical comments from retired officers who seem to have forgotten everything they ever experienced whilst serving. This interpretation rings true because it accords with the full facts. Digwa & his family framed Henry Nowak. What followed was on them.
šŸšØšŸ‡¬šŸ‡§ ANALYSIS: The police did not fail Henry Nowak because of "anti-white woke training." They failed him because they walked into a crime scene that had already been rewritten for them. Before officers arrived, Vickrum Digwa's brother had already made the call. And on that call, he built the false reality that the police were about to enter. He told them Henry was the aggressor: drunk, racist, violent. He said Henry had knocked Digwa's turban off and hurled racial slurs. He gave them a tidy story: Henry had climbed the fence by the bins, fallen onto the bonnet of a car, and was now on the ground behind it with facial injuries. He said they were detaining him. On the same call, you can hear him tell a relative: "Don't try to reason with him - the police are coming." That was the scene the police were sent to. Not the real scene. The scene a lie built. The operator asked the obvious critical questions. Were there weapons? More than once, the brother said no. What condition was Henry in? The brother admitted he didn't look in good shape, so the operator said he would send an ambulance. The brother thanked him. So picture what officers were dispatched to: a drunk, racist troublemaker who had attacked a Sikh man, knocked his turban off, climbed a fence, fallen, and was now lying on the floor with facial injuries - with no weapon present, confirmed again and again by the caller. That is why Henry saying "I've been stabbed" was met with: "I don't think you have." They had been told, on the record, that there was nothing to stab him with. If the wounds were not immediately obvious in the dark, at midnight, in December, the lie had already done its work. Now look at the part people are trying to turn into "woke policing": the fact that officers took the racism allegation seriously. Of course they did. Racially aggravated offences are routine police business. Race is the largest category of hate crime in England and Wales by a distance. The duty to record and act on racially aggravated allegations is not some new ideological fad from a training slide. It comes from the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 and the post-Stephen Lawrence reforms - a legal framework older than many serving officers. An officer taking that allegation seriously was not obeying "anti-white training." He was doing routine policing under a law that has existed for more than 25 years. But here is the point Tommy Robinson and the far right need you to miss: race was part of the false story, but it was not the whole mechanism. The police were not simply given a race allegation. They were given an entire crime scene. They were told who the aggressor was. They were told why Henry was injured. They were told there was no weapon. They were told Henry had fallen. They were told Henry was being detained. They arrived to find a man on the ground, in the dark, with visible facial injuries, after the caller had already explained those injuries as the result of a fall. The far-right version depends on stripping the story down to two racial identities and deleting almost every operational fact: white man says he was stabbed, non-white man says he was attacked, police automatically side with the non-white man. But that is not the sequence. The sequence was: first caller controls the frame, denies the knife, explains the injuries, presents Henry as the threat, and gives police a ready-made interpretation of the scene. Then, when Henry tells the truth, the truth arrives inside a scene already poisoned by the lie. Strip race out of it entirely and the same lie still works. A self-presenting "victim". A visible prop that appears to support the story. A fabricated fall. A hidden knife. A 999 call denying any weapon existed. A white caller telling police the same story - drunk attacker, no weapon, fall injuries, we're detaining him - could have produced the same failure. The structure of the deception is what did the work. Race may have given the allegation extra charge. The lie did not need it to work. No diversity policy is required to explain what happened. No grand theory of "anti-white policing" is needed. The caller gave the police a false map, and the officers followed it. Robinson's claim is bigger than Henry. He tells the world the police are now conditioned to always believe the non-white person, or too frightened of being called racist to ever disbelieve them. That is a claim about the whole system, and it makes a prediction you can test: if it were true, ethnic minorities would be the people who come off best in police encounters. They do not. They are stopped and searched more, arrested more, and have force used on them more. The Race Action Plan everyone is quoting exists because minorities are over-policed and under-protected - and the barrister who chaired the board that wrote it says the people handcuffed while injured and vulnerable, against the guidelines, are disproportionately people of colour. The exact failure that Henry experienced happens most often to the people Robinson says are being favoured. A theory that predicts minorities are protected has to ignore a record showing they are treated worst at every measured stage. It survives only by deleting that record - the same way it survives by deleting the 999 call. None of this clears the officers of what came next. Handcuffing a man who said he couldn't breathe, and the delay in treating him, are real failures - and they are exactly what the inquest will examine. The failure was not that officers were trained to hate white victims. The failure was that they accepted the first story, then failed to properly re-evaluate it when the dying man told them the truth. That is the honest sequence: the police were lied to, then they failed Henry at the basics. "Anti-white training made them do it" was never part of the story. That is a political fiction attached onto a tragedy after the fact. It only works if you delete the 999 call, the false fall story, the hidden knife, the repeated denial of weapons, and the caller's control of the narrative. Henry told them the truth. He had been stabbed. He couldn't breathe. The knife was hidden by the killer's mother. His family helped build the story that made Henry look like the threat. And the police believed them.

Chief Treasury Secretary Lucy Rigby has defended the Government’s decision to not reduce interest rates on student loans, saying the money is being used to fund benefit schemes including ā€˜free breakfast clubs’ and lifting the two child benefit cap. Trapping graduates in a lifetime of debt in order to fund breakfasts for children whose parents should be feeding them at home is not beneficial to anyone - children, families or young adults starting out in life.

These race baiters have been viewing criminality through a racialised lens for decades. The moment a white victim is involved suddenly doing so is wrong. Sarkar like all of the hard left is a racist hypocrite.
Crime is now being viewed through an entirely racialised lens – but only when the perpetrators aren't white. When Chas Corrigan stabbed a Saudi student to death, or Paul Doyle mowed down Liverpool fans, white people didn't have to fear being a target of collective retaliation.

I see the govt are to force phone manufacturers to impose restrictions on viewing ā€˜indecent’ content. This will be on by default unless proof of being an adult is provided to the manufacturer. So digital ID is going to be compulsory on every smart phone. When was that agreed?

An American Soldier in WWII: "Those Brits are a strange old race. They show affection by abusing each other, will think nothing of casually stopping in the middle of a firefight for a 'brewup' and eat food that I wouldn't give to a dying dog. But fuck me, I would rather have one British squaddie on side than an entire battalion of Spetznaz! Why? Because the British are the only people in this world who when the chips are down and it seems like there is no hope left, instead of getting sentimental or hysterical, will strap on their pack, charge their rifle, light up a smoke, and calmly and wryly grin, 'Well, are we going then you wanker?" šŸ“ó §ó ¢ó „ó ®ó §ó æ šŸ‡¬šŸ‡§

This is a compelling & damning critique of the last 30 years & the pernicious effects of the McPherson report. It created a charter for race grifters, it perverted police training & principles & has finally had its advocates exposed.

Given only 4% of the UK population is black they are over represented in business. As for chief constables, judges & permanent secretaries it takes decades of excellence to get to the top. The best who want it get there not a pro rate %.
There are no Black chief constables, Supreme Court Judges or Permanent Secs Colour of Power Index finds fewer than 60 Black people in the 1100 most powerful roles inc CEOs, Editors & Broadcasters, NHS Trusts & Public Bodies Imagine what it would be like without anti-white racism
Community note
Note provided to clarify that black people are over represented in the 1100 most powerful roles. 60/1100 is 5.4%. Black people are approximately 4% of the UK population. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demograph…

This is one of the most devastatingly honest posts I have ever seen on X 10 years ago society was at peace with homosexuality & trans. Then the activists thought it wasn’t enough being equal. Gays, Lesbians & women had to sacrifice their rights to pander to the extremists.
Replying to @PeterTatchell
As a gay man, I say: you did this - you, the far-Left LGBTIAQ activists with your grotesque parades, your absurd 'pronouns', your men in women's spaces and your drag queen storytimes. You did this. You pushed and pushed the boundaries of power to see what you could get away with, using the 'cause' as a testudo: criticise us and you're a 'homophobe', 'transphobe', etc. You used us, the 'normie' gays as a cause, to radicalise and militarise, whilst weaponising speech, with what others can and cannot say - and now you're surprised that there's kick-back? Oh, sure, you'll now use that as: "See? See? Look at all the homophobia and transphobia! We told you!" but it was you that caused the homophobia and transphobia with your ridiculous power moves for 5% of the population. We asked for equality. We got that. We asked for Same-Sex Marriage. We got that. But you wouldn't stop there. Emboldened by the generosity of those who, in many countries, voted for or supported the latter, you wanted to see how much further you could go. You poked the bear. The bear didn't react. But you kept poking and finally the bear reacted. And now we're in a position where the bear recognises you every time and will swipe back. You did this.

I don’t ask for sympathy because I know social media warriors don’t care. But if you felt affected by seeing a video, imagine how it feels to be there & the toll it takes on those who are there every day & their families. And they wonder why so many leave. 5/5
