In case anyone is wondering, this is the only way the right can get their media made - because they are genuinely horrible excuses for people who literally have to trick people to appear in it. I hope Trejo fires his agent, and sues him into oblivion for letting this get anywhere near him

A man builds an IED. He sets it off in a busy public street. Shrapnel flies about hitting cars, homes and a child's bedroom. It's a miracle nobody is injured. And Reform MP Sarah Pochin calls his imprisonment "disproportionate" and "two tier justice."
It does raise this point of two-tiered
justice..


Reform's Sarah Pochin believes the
sentence handed to the 64-year-old who
blew up a ULEZ camera was
disproportionate'.

Blue bag of cash from a Wrexham nail bar featured in £1.6m people smuggling case
Cash collected from an unnamed nail bar in the Wrexham area formed part of a £1.6 million money laundering operation run by a people smuggling gang whose five members have been jailed for a total of almost 40 years. The National Crime Agency said three members of the group travelled from Coventry to the nail bar in a white Vauxhall Astra shortly before their arrest on 1 October last year, and collected cash there. Vinh Van Nguyen, 31, Sy Trai Ho, 28, and Lia-Chien Trong, 34, then stopped at an Asda store in Wigan, where Trong and Ho attempted to transfer cash via Western Union.
