Remove The Plank In Your Own Eye, 'Mail'...

...before you complain about the mote in the eye of another:

This woman is not male, and her son is not a girl. So why are you pandering to their delusions?

Yes, But Then, They Don't Have To, Do They?

...in an interview with The Sunday Times, prior to Maitles' (sic) remarks, Kuenssberg said that she has 'never been told what to say', adding that the role of journalists in the BBC is 'to find the truth'.

Stop laughing at the back! 

She said: 'People say "well, you can’t do this and you can’t do that, you’re terribly restricted". For me, that’s totally upside down, because the whole point at the BBC is that you’re not following the line; all you’re doing is trying to find the truth.

'I’ve never been told what to say — or what not to say, maybe more importantly.'

No, I bet you haven't... 

Does The Mother Bear No Culpability, Then?

Judge Graham Reeds QC told Newton: “In September or October 2019, at a time when you were completely unsuited temperamentally to looking after a very small child, you lost your temper with your son’s crying and caused him significant injuries by bending back his arm and by injuring his leg.”

I'm so sick of reading these stories... 

Newton was described as having a functioning ability towards the “bottom level” and he has not been involved in any further offending, according to Mr Singh.

He hasn't had the opportunity, has he? 

Judge Reeds told Newton: “I am satisfied that these two incidents when you harmed him were in circumstances where you could not control your emotions, and where you were struggling to look after and understand the behaviour of your new baby.”

Judge Reeds also added: “I am satisfied that you would not have committed this offence but for the fact that your limited functioning made you less able to cope with what you were taking on.”

Judge Reeds sentenced Newton to two years of custody suspended for two years with a rehabilitation requirement and a six-month curfew.

Sadly, only to be expected these days. But why on earth is no-one asking why the mother allowed this man to procreate with her, never mind look after the resultant offspring? 

The court heard the youngster was placed into foster care with social services until it was agreed he could be looked after by his auntie and he was eventually returned to his mother in August, 2020.

Mr Sheldon said: “He has made a full recovery and he is a healthy, happy little boy and all appears well in terms of his physical future.”

With a mother like this one, who can really say that with a straight face? 

Strong Words...

Raimundas Pazdrazdis was convicted of 16 offences; Sigtas Pazdrazdis, who owned two of the dogs, was convicted of 12 and pleaded guilty to one count of possessing a pitbull terrier and Edgaras Pazdrazdis was convicted of two offences.

Councillor Syed Ghani, cabinet member for enforcement and community safety, called the convictions "a fantastic result".

He said: “We won’t stand for dogs or any other animal being treated in this despicable way and if we find out somebody is mistreating them, we will make sure that we go all out to take the strongest action.”

Wow, the strongest action, this will be good! 

The three men were each sentenced at Romford Magistrates Court to 12-month community orders of unpaid work and ordered to pay a total of £85,000 costs.

Oh. 

Raimundas Pazdrazdis was banned from keeping dogs for seven years, Sigtas Pazdrazdis for five years and Edgaras Pazdrazdis for three years.

Because after that time has elapsed, they'll be model pet owners..? 

I'm Not In The Slightest Bit Concerned...

Deputy Assistant Commissioner Laurence Taylor said:'I fully appreciate the public will be very concerned. '

What's to be concerned about? Did the police throw a handcuffed prisoner off the bridge for shits n' giggles? That'd be something to be concerned about...

The father of a labourer who entered the Thames as he was being arrested after a drunken row with his girlfriend today accused police of 'watching' him die, claiming his son could have been saved as the water was only 'waist-deep'.

At the point he went in, yes, no doubt. But this sorry collection of chavnames are the ones to blame for what happened here, entirely. 

Liam Allan was on a night out in Kingston, south-west London, with his partner, Caitlin, and teen brother Ethan Adami-Clack on Friday when he entered the water via steps by Bill's restaurant on Riverside Walk just after 10.30pm.

She reportedly ran to the corner of the bridge where she saw him swimming away from police, and officers are alleged to have tried to stop her chasing after him.

So they saved her from drowning with him. Win some, lose some! 

The response of this kid's father is quite telling about what sort of person we are talkiing about here: 

'Why did the police even take him down to the river bank? It was an alleged theft, but his girlfriend was always ringing the police over him for something, and it wasn't a theft. They were out together, what would he have taken?'

Who know? That's why the police were in the process of arresting him, so they could find out... 

Mr Allan, who did agency work in construction but wanted to be a rapper...

Say no more. 

"We Must Do Something!"

Ms Ambler told the BBC: "If Rob hadn't had access to such a deadly weapon, there's a chance that Kelly, Ava and Lexi could still be here.

"This could have been prevented if gun licensing guidance was tougher."

It's not already tough enough? And deranged men and women haven't managed the same result with ordinary household items?

Kelly’s family want to see people who lie on their applications banned from re-applying, as well as licences to be reviewed more frequently.

Which wouldn't have done a single thing to prevent this murder, because it only came to light after he'd done it. And where are the police going to find the time?

They also want closer working between GPs and police forces and for people with recurring periods of depression to be barred from getting a licence.

That'll be good, since the GPs are just sitting there twiddling their thumbs, waiting for something to do... 

She Should Be Sacked, No Doubt...

...not for going out, getting drunk and making a disgusting spectacle of herself, shocking as that is. But for this:

PC Shearer denied the allegation to her colleagues, but was found by a police disciplinary panel in Middlesbrough to have lied and tried to hide the truth by changing her story about what had happened. Allegations of discreditable conduct and breaches of honesty and integrity were proven.

Yet the officer escaped with a written warning and was allowed to keep her job with Cleveland Police.

What sort of absolute idiot made such a decision?

Ogheneruona Iguyovwe, the panel's independent chairman...

Oh! 

...said: 'This officer is 24 years old. There is scope for her to be rehabilitated, there is scope for her to set the record straight and to begin on a new path.'

Listen, Ogheneruona, it might be ok for police officers to be liars in your ancestral homeland, but in England, we expect better. 

The controversial decision yesterday prompted Cleveland Chief Constable Mark Webster – who said her actions are 'incompatible' with his force's standards – to intervene. He said he was concerned about the outcome and 'legal options' were now being considered.

Good! Because what sort of job could she now do with the police anyway? 

Olivia Checa-Dover, representing the force, told the panel its findings that she had been dishonest meant she was now 'undeployable' as an officer. As she lied while being questioned on oath, that would have to be disclosed to defence lawyers in any future investigations she carried out, the barrister said.

You can just imagine it, can't you? 

In evidence her boss Inspector Christian Duree said: 'She deals with members of the public exceptionally well.'

Perhaps you should be investigated too, then. Or are shop staff not 'members of the public' to you? 

Iraq? Mogadishu?

A police statement said: “They were able to extract him through significant crowds in challenging circumstances to a waiting ambulance.”

Some other Third World hellhole where injured peoples' rescue is hampered by people behaving like animals? 

No. Ladbroke Grove in London. Oh, of course, forgot to mention. It's that time of year.

Police said 209 arrests had been made by early Tuesday, including 46 for assault, 36 for possession of drugs, 33 for possession of an offensive weapon, 27 public order offences and eight sexual assaults.

And they call it 'Carnival'... 

Shutting The Stable Door...?

A fruit picker accused of stabbing to death nine-year-old Lilia Valutyte has reportedly been rushed to hospital after being slashed and battered by a shank-wielding cellmate in a brutal prison attack.

 But wait!

Skebas was under constant supervision following his return to prison.

 *hollow laughter*

Yeah, You Might Just Be Right, Julie...

Oh, come on, that's just late middle-age talking, surely? They aren't that ba...

OK. Never mind.
