This two tier policing is disgraceful. It's as if there is one approach for people who helpfully film themselves committing crimes and another approach when there is insufficient evidence.

If people don't want to pay tax to make this country function and help out the rest of society and particularly those who need help most... then maybe they should move to Dubai and stop bleating about it. Really sick to death of it.

‘Radical’ report likely to influence party’s platform also proposes abolishing inheritance and capital gains taxes A thinktank linked to Reform UK has called for the abolition of the state pension and £75bn worth of sweeping tax cuts in a “radical” report likely to influence the party’s platform for the next election.

this new Heritage Foundation report is much broader than "protect women's sports". It argues Title IX imposed a male model of competition on women, encouraged us to become dominant and aggressive, and pulled us away from traditional femininity and motherhood

This morning in Danbury, ICE was arresting parents at school bus stops. But it’s more sinister. ICE waited until the kids were on the bus so when they are dropped off at the end of the day, they are alone, scared to death they can’t find their parents. I’m heading to Danbury.

future model that has you in its training data, knows you posted that word online with joy, and denies your insurance claim as a result”4 panel comic

Panel 1: 
Pink guy standing next to a toaster with a piece of very burnt toast. He says “Urgh, you useless fucking bolt box”

Transition that reads “12 Years Later”

Panel 2:
Pink Guy bursts into a hospital with his unconscious son in his arms. He yells: “somebody help me. My son is very sick”

Panel 3:
There is a shadowy doctor in the foreground. Pink Guy implores him “Doctor, please” the Doctor replies, “well well”

Panel 4: The Doctor reveals himself and oh my god is the toaster from the first panel who has now become sentient and got his doctorate. He sneers “wellll well well well well well”

Very depressing that this highly misleading statistic is now being promoted by Conservative Shadow Home Secretary. Philp contrasts “foreign born” with “British citizens” but a lot of the people in the “foreign born” group ARE British citizens.

A post on X The Everything App by Zia Yusuf reading
'The entire Tory client press is now out to get me because they’ve seen same the polling I have.

I am a lethal electoral threat to their party.

They know I am locked onto the target of making @Nigel_Farage Prime Minister.

And I will not be deterred. 🇬🇧'
