You are less likely to be a vicitm of violent crime in London than in the rest of England and Wales - Sadiq Khan.

Lawless London garbage of the British and US reactionary Hard and Far Right is another con job.

The wrongful release of prisoners happened 800 times under the Tories.

The media bias and lack of reference to any past is just hideous.

Boris Johnson trying to undermine BBC leadership, insiders fear after leak Director general under pressure after release of memo criticising reporting on Trump, trans rights and Gaza

The government has STILL not cleared out the highly partisan decision-makers imposed on the BBC by the Tories. Starmer and co are so amazingly spineless and feeble.

The Channel 4 News chart showing the departure of experienced prison officers was daunting as it plunged to almost zero over a few years to now.

Never watched the β€œnormal” series, I’ve been rooted to this though. Did so want Joe to win, just because he sussed them out.

Between 2010–2024, 860 prisoners were accidentally released under the Conservatives. Yet the first and second accidental releases under Labour are getting more headlines than all 860 Tory f***-ups combined.

73 is a good age for someone living in the 1700’s.

So even though Andrew M Windsor has been stripped of everything, he is still going to live a life of luxury on the Sandringham estate, funded by the king, which means funded by us. The French had a different take on issues like this. Saved them billions.

As Rachel Reeves’ letting agent apologises for not applying for a rental licence, Chris Mason has taken a short leave of absence until he can manage to stop sobbing hysterically.

Braverman deleted this tweet which made me wonder who that previous prisoner was. His name was Junead Ahmed. He was a conman mistakenly released in 2023. She was Home Secretary at the time. Oh.

Congratulations to Mike Graham for managing to get sacked for being too obnoxious even for TalkTV, who famously employ only the most grotesque dregs of society anyway.

22 MPs at the time of typing have signed the Commons motion to strip royal slimeball Andrew of the Duke of York title.

Has yours?

The silver medal chap was a Kiwi or Aussie wasn’t he? He had a badge or the like sympathising with TS & JC’s stance, but the media didn’t point that out if I remember correctly.

How can this government be so heartless as to deny families the right to be together?

Allowing the right wing to blame asylum seekers for housing shortages or NHS pressures is cowardly.

Time to show some backbone β€” and some basic humanity.
