'We are perfectly reasonable people...'

Says who? A spokesman for owners at High Penderleath, a caravan site with a strict policy that campers cannot leave the site after 11.30pm unless it's for an emergency.

And yet the 'Mail' would clearly like us to believe that the people who chose to leave when they wanted to leave are in the wrong, are indeed 'entitled' people for doing so, who should be 'ashamed' for failing to comply with the prison's camp's demands.

This is the moment an 'entitled' married couple break a Cornish campsite's barrier at night so they can pick their children up from a music festival. The husband and wife were captured on CCTV spending more than an hour trying to lift the electronic barricade at family-run High Penderleath campsite in St Ives, which had been closed for security reasons.

Security reasons? It’s a bloody campsite, not a nuclear research facility! 

Appearing triumphant after causing £4,600 worth of damage, she puts her face up to the camera again and sneers, 'I hope your barrier never works again, you k*******s' before What A Fool Believes by The Doobie Brothers begins to play over the footage.

 I don’t blame her, but ‘Won’t Get Fooled Again’ by The Who might be more appropriate. But back to the commandant of Stalag Penderleath:

'What we don’t find reasonable is being left with a substantial repair bill because someone decided to disregard a security restriction rather than make arrangements with us beforehand.'

Just repeating the term isn’t going to give it any more gravitas, you know… 

Why Should This Be A Surprise?

A manhunt is underway for a child rapist who escaped from prison staff while on escorted leave. Restricted patient, Cliff Lyons Dobbie, fled from officers in Perth city centre on Thursday.

He wasn't at large for long, thankfully.  But why was he allowed out in the first place?

Dobbie has been held in secure facilities since 1990 after he raped a 10-year-old girl in Glasgow and sexually abused a 12-year-old boy in a field. He was admitted to State Hospital in Carstairs where he has remained since the depraved attacks.

Persuing hobbies like whinging about the rules.  No doubt with taxpayer cash.

Police have warned the public not to approach Dobbie and to report his whereabouts to the police if he is spotted. He is currently being treated as a missing person and the investigation to locate him is ongoing.

He's not a 'missing person' - he's an escaped offender. But should we expect anything more from the land where they aren't even sure if prisoners are men or women?

You Mean Progressive Issues, Don't You?

Of course they do, reader, it's the 'Guardian' after all:

A lack of clear vision, low morale, dwindling popularity and financial shortfalls – this may sound like a description of the previous Labour government, but these are also criticisms levelled at the UK’s most powerful arts institution, Tate. Maria Balshaw’s tenure as the first female director of Tate – comprising Tate Modern, Tate Britain, Tate Liverpool and Tate St Ives – lasted nine years and saw as many culture secretaries. One of Sir Keir Starmer’s last acts as prime minister was to approve the appointment of her successor, Jessica Morgan, a former curator at Tate and head of the Dia Art Foundation in New York.

With record-breaking Frida Kahlo and Tracey Emin shows currently at Tate Modern, suggestions that Ms Morgan is inheriting an institution in a state of “existential crisis” seem exaggerated.

But, there's this:  

Last year’s redundancies and staff strikes across the galleries showed an institution under pressure. It is a far cry from when Nicholas Serota spearheaded Tate Modern just over 25 years ago on the crest of Cool Britannia and the rise of the Young British Artists.

Looming external challenges include the National Gallery’s recent announcement of plans to ditch its 1900 cut-off, thereby encroaching on Tate Modern’s territory, and the possibility of an end to free museum access in the UK.

Oh, no. How will nuseums cope if people stop coming? Are their other funding avenues they could tap? 

Then there is the increasingly problematic issue of funding. Ms Balshaw was right to take a stand against arts donations from fossil fuel companies.

Really? 

Like the new prime minister, Ms Morgan has been hailed as “an agent of change”. How to make lasting change, without alienating core supporters, while inspiring confidence at home and abroad – all when budgets are tight – is the momentous task facing both.

I think there are more momentous tasks facing people in Btitain today.  

'So We're Sending It To People Who Do Have The Sentencing Powers (That They Seldom Use)....

The chairman of a bench of magistrates told the defendants: 'Look, we can't deal with this today. 'It's called indictable only, it's so serious that it's beyond our sentencing powers if you were to be found guilty.'

Another case of ‘driving while diverse’ so  get it off your plate as quickly as possible!

Sedor Olmez and Roderick Mirzakhanian allegedly caused the death of Laura Sone-Demetrious, 28, by driving dangerously on the A10 Great Cambridge Road in Enfield. Ms Sone-Demetrious was using a pedestrian crossing over the busy dual carriageway on her evening dog walk.

They mowed down her dogs too… 

Olmez wore a white shirt, patterned tie, and black jacket in the dock while Mirzakhanian wore a white shirt, and both spoke only to confirm their personal details in the short hearing. They were not asked to enter pleas. Olmez was also charged with driving a BMW that was uninsured at the time of the incident on January 9 2024.

Not an Audi? Well, nice to see someone still reveres the classics. 

He Actually Did The Meme!

You know the joke: what do you call a black man in a suit and tie? The defendant!

A black barrister has said a security guard told him he could not park in a court’s car park in London because “it’s not for defendants”.

Stephen Akinsanya, who in June was awarded an OBE for raising awareness of youth knife crime and its prevention, said the incident, at an east London court about four weeks ago, illustrated the lack of progress on racism within the criminal justice system.

Because of course he did… 

He said: “It was a sort of reflection of what happened when I first qualified back in 1993, going into the same court, being asked by a security guard which case I was on trial in. And as a junior lawyer thinking: well, why does it have to be that I’m the one on trial? Why can it not be that I’m the lawyer? 

I’ve been assumed to be a shop worker many times in a supermarket despite not wearing a uniform, did I complain or be offended? No I just shrugged and got on with life! 

“And then 33 years later, pulling up in my car to park in the same court building, a security guard saying: ‘You can’t park here.’ And when I said why, he said: ‘Defendants can’t park in the car park.’”

When he challenged the guard, “he was completely embarrassed” and raised the barrier to allow him to park, said Akinsanya.

He never seems to think that it’s because the court staff  sees an overwhelmingly black criminal intake  that of course they will assume that he’s another one.

Akinsanya said: “I’m privy to seeing how the bar has changed with a lot more people from diverse backgrounds entering the profession but there is still a perception that, if you’re black, you’re more likely not to be the lawyer, you’re more likely to be a defendant who’s attending court because you’re on trial. “I just think: why are we still in this position in the 21st century? Which makes one think about the wider conversation we were having [on the podcast] about the lack of black judges.”

He believes there should be targets to increase representation and a body that is held accountable if they are missed.

If you want more Professor Ardays, that’s exactly how you should go about it. So tell me, has the case of Professor Arday made things better for educated black people, or worse? 

Never Forget Who They Really Protect...

Chief Constable Paul Sanford warned this morning that those who ‘crossed the line’ could ‘expect the full force of the law’ and refuted claims his officers had been too aggressive.

Eyewitnesses say different and long gone are the days anyone takes a Chief Con’s word for anything: 

Police pepper-sprayed a woman in a wheelchair during the violent anti-migrant protests in Thetford, locals have claimed. The woman is said to have been among a largely ‘peaceful’ protest when the crowd became ‘rowdy’ and officers used the device.

But she was no doubt white, so they will feel empowered to do it and safe from recriminations or career stunting action. 

Mr Sanford told the BBC’s Today programme this morning: ‘We have people who are exercising their right to protest and, of course, we will support that. ‘There are people who live in Thetford who are concerned, understandably concerned, about some of the things that are happening in their town.

‘However, across three consecutive nights, a group of people have crossed the line as to what is acceptable. We have been appropriately policing those behaviours. ‘I’ve seen the reports of heavy-handedness. We’ve been firm. We’ve been firm with people who have broken the law.’

You know full well that the perception of a two-tier system of justice is inflamed by such statements, because people can point to similar scenes where you’ve done nothing, because it was politically safer to do nothing.  

On ITV’s Good Morning Britain, Home Office minister Anna Turley described the events in Thetford as ‘horrendous’.

Defence Secretary Wes Streeting also criticised the ugly scenes, saying: ‘There is absolutely no excuse whatsoever for violence and thuggery to be directed to anyone in our society, whether that’s people seeking sanctuary in Britain or indeed the police that are trying to maintain public order.’

Seeking sanctuary Wes? Or seeking an easier life here? 

Police had to escort terrified migrants from one property in the Norfolk market town on Tuesday night after an angry mob gathered outside three residential addresses.

So, it worked. So why wouldn’t they do it again? 

Tensions were already high in the area following weeks of protests three miles away at RAF Barnham in Suffolk, after the former military barracks was earmarked by the government to take 1,250 male migrants.

Stop calling them 'migrants' - if they came over on a boat after destroying all ID documents they are illegals, so call them what they are - criminals.  

A Government spokesperson said: 'The right to protest is fundamental to our democracy and the concerns of communities are central to our immigration reforms. 'However, violence and disorder are never acceptable, and we absolutely condemn the behaviour seen in Thetford, including attacks against frontline police officers. 

'We thank policing partners who we continue to work with to ensure the safety of the wider community. Anyone taking part in this criminal activity will face the full force of the law.'

We expect those who engage in tthe criminal activity of breaking into the country to face the full force of the law, and until they do, the protests wuill continue.  And there are more people willing to protest than there are police to stop them. 

Vital Affairs Being Handled By The New PM

No 10 has vowed to confiscate powers from local councils which try to restrict customers from standing up while drinking in pubs or ordering at the bar.

Wow. Really getting his teeth into the crucial affairs of state there, isn’t he? 

It comes after the Guardian revealed on Thursday that Westminster council in central London recommended not allowing “vertical drinking” or ordering at the bar in its new draft licensing policy. The draft document, now out for consultation, recommends that pubs applying for new licences allow only table service rather than bar ordering. It also suggests new pubs in popular nightlife areas including Soho call last orders at 10pm, to reduce noise and disturbance.

A Downing Street spokesperson said: “Busy pubs full of people talking to each other is not a public nuisance, it is British life, and it is thousands of jobs. 

It's a relief to have a PM who recognises there is such a thing as British life, and not as something to immediately discard in the face of woke desires, but isn't there far more important things he should be getting to grips with? 

And why is he considering handing more powers to the Poison Dwarf of London? 

“The government is devolving new licensing powers to the mayor [of London] to help support pubs and nightlife. Soho did not become world famous by taking last orders early, switching the lights off at 10 o’clock. 

“The prime minister encourages local leaders to work with the industry so that pubs can continue to thrive.”

Good luck with that!  

The government is due to grant new powers to the London mayor, Sadiq Khan, allowing him to “call in” local council decisions he opposes.

A spokesperson for the mayor previously said he was against “restrictive and anti-growth policies” and said he hoped to use new powers to be granted to him by the government to stop councils from overreaching. The draft policy says pubs should “discourage excessive drunkenness and encourage the provision of more seating in premises that serve alcohol for people to sit and enjoy a drink and order food by table service in place of open bar space that caters for high-volume vertical drinking”. It goes on to recommend that sales of alcohol and food should be “by waiter or waitress service only”.

Who wouldn't believe that wasn't a threat to traditional pub habits? You'd have to be a moron. wouldn't you? 

Oh.

Paul Swaddle, the Conservative leader of Westminster council, denied the plans amounted to a ban on “vertical drinking”. He told the Press Association that newspapers had carried “confusing stories” about the document and added: “I want to be straight with people. There is no plan, and never has been, to ban drinking while standing up in a Westminster pub.”

We can read, you know. And we know you aren't being 'straight with people'. 

Why Our Police Farces Are Doomed...

No, not because they lost a tribunal they were bound to lose, but because they hired someone like this in the fisrt place:

A judge said it was 'unusual' that she had a pair at home but did not raise it, but added it did not 'undermine her case' as 'the duty to make reasonable adjustments is on the employer not the employee'. The judge ordered that Ms Vale's bosses should pay her £19,141 in compensation, including £15,124 for injury to her feelings.

That was the correct decision but questions need to be asked how this woman was ever employed. 

Ms Vale began her employment as a victim and witness care officer at the force in a temporary role to cover a long-term absence in September 2023. She was new to policing as she 'had a background in creative arts' and had owned her own creative arts business.

You couldn’t make it up and in the UK in 2026, you never have to…

She said she was previously a self-employed artist because her ADHD made her not want to work with others. Ms Vale had only been diagnosed with ADHD via an online consultation with ADHD360 in May 2023 after her GP had refused to diagnose her because they thought it was simply 'low self-esteem'.

Upon beginning work at the police force, Ms Vale requested that she be supplied with noise cancelling headphones and informed them of her ADHD.

The ADHD that she didn’t officially have… 

She requested noise cancelling headphones again after a four-week probation review in October. Ms Vale's line manager Jennie Clarke asked: 'These are noise cancelling ones not the routine ones - is that correct? 

'I will be asked can I confirm why you need those as opposed to a normal headset. Let me know.'

The manager is clueless, and obviously can’t use Google! 

Shortly after, in November 2023, Ms Vale had a health scare at work in which she believed she was suffering a heart attack.Ms Vale confided in a colleague who had worked as nurse during this episode that 'her GP has no awareness of what she is taking' because her health was being handled solely by ADHD360.

Ms Vale had a meeting with Miss Clarke shortly after where she disclosed her own 'doubts' about ADHD360.

Aha, the manager has learned how to use Google in the interim! 

Ms Vale went on sick leave in December 2023, but when Miss Clarke wrote to the support officer to check on her, Ms Vale raised a grievance and asked not to be contacted again.

Not a serious issue, simply a delaying tactic. 

She did not attend any grievance meetings and her employment ended in March 2024, although this had been the plan as the previous member of staff returned from their absence at this time.

And no doubt everyone reathed a HUGE sigh of relief. 

Ms Vale then took the police force to an employment tribunal in Bristol, alleging that the staff had spread cruel rumours about her and made dismissive remarks. The tribunal concluded that the staff had actually been supportive of her throughout her employment and dismissed some of Ms Vale's claims.

And why did she lie so blatently? Why not? There are, after all, no reasons not to. There are no sanctions for frivolous claims, just as there are no sanctions for the police HR department when they hire unsuitable flakes fot temporary roles.

15 Elephants? Think Of The Trophy Fees They Would Have Brought In...

Not to mention the meat they wouls have provided local villages.But white Western liberal squamishness over hunting condemned them to a lingering death instead.

But Duncan Juma, communications director of Kenya's wildlife service, ruled out human-wildlife conflict in the death of the elephants, saying 'the community loves these animals.'

Really? Even the ones who risk being trampled by them when they go to harvest what crops the marauding herds have left to them? Of course, Juma lives and works in air-conditioned comfort in a city, so he would say that, wouldn’t he? 

The International Fund for Animal Welfare, or IFAW, said the recent suspected cyanide poisoning highlights the urgent need to tackle the underlying causes of human-wildlife conflict. 'As people and elephants increasingly share space, protecting wildlife and safeguarding communities' livelihoods must go hand in hand,' IFAW wrote in a statement.

They are incompatible. The elephant has no value to the rural African, if he cannot benefit from the trophy fees or the meat from a licensed hunt.

Last season alone, Muchai said elephants destroyed about half an acre of his tomato crop, costing him an estimated 500,000 Kenya shillings (£2,867). 'We have lived with these animals for years. They eat our crops, and many of us have never received compensation,' he said. 

Surprising? Not at all. 

Another farmer, Rymondy Mrosso, also questioned whether pesticides used by local farmers could explain the deaths and wondered why only elephants appeared to have been affected.

They have to eat a huge quantity of food per day. That would account for it. 

Unstoppable Force Prepares To Meet Immovable Object

Women working at a major NHS Trust say they feel 'intimidated' after its leaders told trans staff they can still use women's toilets and facilities. In spite of clear guidance on single sex spaces which came into force on Wednesday, the Midlands Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (MPFT), which serves 1.7 million people and employs over 10,500 staff, said there would 'no immediate changes' to its policies.

Well, why not? They know full well that so many institutions and politicians have been captured by this vile perverted cult that there will be few real consequences for open defiance.And there will be challenges, JK Rowling's offered assistance guareantees it.

The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC)'s new code of practice, which reinforces the landmark Supreme Court ruling that sex in equality law means biological sex not gender identity, rules that organisations must provide single sex spaces reflecting that.It says that only providing mixed sex facilities could amount to direct or indirect discrimination against women or lead to unlawful harassment.

And when they lose at a tribunal, who pays? The poor old taxpayer! 

The trust told staff it is awaiting further guidance from NHS England.

Well, that's something the Health Minister can put on his to=do list. 

In its email to staff, the Trust said: 'We understand this may be a difficult and anxiety-provoking time for our trans, non-binary and gender-diverse colleagues, service users and communities, and we want to reassure you that we stand by you and remain committed to being an inclusive organisation.'

Committed is what you should be...to a mental health institution.
