We All Suspected They Did This ...

 .. and now we have proof: 

Police 'guided' the family of a hotel worker in 'toning down' their public statements after she was murdered by an asylum seeker – in case their words led to anti-immigration rioting. Rhiannon Whyte, 27, was stabbed 23 times with a screwdriver by Sudanese national Deng Majek while waiting at a train station.

Now Rhiannon's mother, Siobhan, has claimed police said they didn't want 'another Southport' when she told them her daughter's life support was to be turned off. She said: 'Did they tell us what to say? No. Did they guide us so it didn't look so aggressive? Maybe. I was aggressive – they toned it down.'

Confimation at last! 

Ms Whyte – who stresses that she is grateful for the help she received from the police in the aftermath of her daughter's death – added: 'I think they didn't want violence... they didn't want a riot.'

What help?  

When Rhiannon's family told police they were turning off her life support, officers quickly removed the migrants from the hotel. Ms Whyte added: 'Those migrants were out within two hours – I think that's because [the police] feared violence.'

See, they can do it when they want to, thus giving the lie to the claim that violence is not the way. 

It was only after Majek was sentenced that Ms Whyte mentioned the fact he had arrived in the UK on a small boat three months before the attack – and criticised Sir Keir Starmer. She said: 'The Prime Minister's got blood on his hands.'

He has, yes, but he's not alone in the government in that! 

Danger, Danger Will Robinson!

Amber heat health alerts are in place across southern and eastern England, with a heatwave set to develop in the coming days. Temperatures are set to climb above 30C (86F) on Friday, possibily up to 32C (90F) in south-east England, and potentially up to 34C (93F) or higher by Tuesday.

We used to call this 'summer', didn't we?

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has issued amber alerts covering the east, south-east and south-west of England, which are valid until 20:00 BST on Tuesday. Yellow alerts are valid across the Midlands during the same period.Amber heat health alerts are issued when high temperatures are likely to have a significant impact on health and social care services.

It will be a different story for Scotland and Northern Ireland with outbreaks of heavy rain.

That’s the sort of British summer that they are more used to. 

Nicely Topical...

Who Doesn't Have 'Normal Fingers' Then?

Hundreds of "stunningly beautiful" blue sea creatures have washed up along parts of the Welsh coastline. Velella velella, commonly known as by-the-wind sailors and closely related to the Portuguese man o' war, have been spotted on beaches across Anglesey, Gwynedd and Tenby.

The only 'stunningly beautiful' things to be found on Welsh beaches. 

One woman who found one of the free-floating hydrozoans on Tenby South beach said it was "like a crystal".

Ah, yes, that famously jelly-like substance, crystal. 

Marine specialist Frankie Hobro, of Anglesey Sea Zoo, said the creatures were beautiful but warned people not to touch them due to their sting.

Although their sting is generally considered "very mild" in comparison to Portuguese man o' war, Hobro advised people not to touch them. "You probably wouldn't feel it through normal fingers because human skin is fairly thick," she said.

I knoe it's the Welsh, but c'mon man, they have normal fingers! Don't they?

'We Just Like Losing In Court'

Police chiefs are embroiled in a fresh woke row over official guidance that says biological men who identify as women can ask to be strip searched by a female officer. The National Police Chiefs’ Council and British Transport Police will next week face a High Court challenge after they published the guidance despite last year’s Supreme Court ruling.Women’s rights groups who have launched the legal action say the advice from police chiefs will put female officers under pressure to search detainees who are biological men.

The police refusing to obey the law? Say it ain't so!  

The NPCC guidance says that female officers can refuse to conduct an intimate search of a trans woman detainee.But women’s rights charity Sex Matter, which is bringing the legal challenge, argues that female officers feel that in reality they can’t opt out of their duties, fearing career repercussions. They claim in legal documents this amounts to discrimination and harassment.

It does, because it is!  

The NPCC said the guidance ‘was developed after a thorough process in response to last year’s Supreme Court ruling’ and is ‘explicit that officers will face no career detriment for refusing to carry out a search’.

Yeah, we the public know you are liars, especially when it relates to woke policies, , so don't expect your staff not to realise it too. 

This tweet sums up the situation perfectly:

Let's Blame The Crocodile!

 How dores the BBC, that bastion of truth, choose to headline the story about the lunatic who threw a child inro a crocodile enclosure at a local zoo?

I suppose we should congratulate them on their photo - it is an actual crocodile, the 'Daily Mail' was making do with a photo of an alligator..

Cambridgeshire Police said a 30-year-old man arrested on suspicion of attempted murder had been bailed and was "unfit for interview". He reportedly has learning disabilities and had been on a trip to Johnsons of Old Hurst, near Huntingdon, with carers. It is believed the boy was attacked on Thursday by at least one crocodile after ending up in their enclosure.

We all know how he 'ended up' in there, the same way a young boy ended up at the bottom of the Tate Modern all those years ago.... 

Officers said they were called to the zoo at 13:34 BST on Thursday and were working to establish how long the boy was in the enclosure. Police said the crocodiles had not been seized or killed.

Why would they be? The police don't have any facilities to hold them, and they can't be interviwed!

Det Insp Verity McCann said: "Our inquiries are ongoing as we continue to understand the circumstances surrounding this distressing incident. 

"Our thoughts remain with the boy, and his family and specialist officers continue to support them through this difficult time."

I'm sure that's what they are doing, and not making sure they don't make a fuss or take to social media... 

The man who was arrested was from Norfolk, police said, and was not at the zoo as part of an organised group visit.

A witness told the BBC she had seen a man in his late 20s, accompanied by two women wearing lanyards who she believed may have been carers, walking through the zoo about 10 minutes before the incident.

The lanyard classes usually choose opportunities to create multiple harms, not singular, this is the only surprising aspect!

Cambridgeshire Police confirmed the suspect was white British after misinformation shared on social media.

And the 'carers'? What was their nationality? 

One visitor, who wished to remain anonymous, told the BBC... the crocodiles appeared calm and largely motionless during her visit.

They do that, until they don't. The inquest/h&s report is going to tell us more, but I doubt the stated injuries come from anything other than the fall from height.  

Well, Why, Against All Experience, Did You Believe He Would?

More than eight years ago my youngest daughter, Molly, died after being bombarded with suicide and self-harm material on social media. I had hope that Keir Starmer would finally take the measures needed to address the harm Molly was subjected to, but his social media ban for under-16s leaves me desperately worried for the safety of children online.

Why would anyone believe a word the man said? Well, apart from a man who wants the government to raise his child for him I suppose...

Instead of tackling the product safety issues that cost my daughter’s life, he is choosing to take a politically easy route which the evidence shows – and experts warn – will not work, and will leave children at continued risk.

Well, yes. He’s a politician and a beleaguered one at that who will do anything to cling to power, no matter what promises he has made in the past!

Parents are right that action is needed, and is needed now. But two years into this government, the prime minister has failed time and again to take on big tech with the tough regulation he promised in opposition. Starmer also promised me personally that he would implement effective measures to strengthen regulation and finally address the harm caused by social media. He has failed to keep either promise.

He hasn’t, as far as I can tell, kept any promises, unless it’s ones he made to the string pullers behind the scenes who want to see the UK brought low. 

He also promised bereaved parents after the recent consultation on children’s social media use that he would follow the evidence and take the time to consider his response then act decisively. Instead, he has rushed out a ban.

As we have seen in Australia, where a social media ban for under-16s came into effect in December 2025, teens and children are able to circumvent the ban – with 60% still accessing social media.

And they will do the same with this one, if he manages to get it through Parliament, of course. The man who will soon vie to sit in that seat may find that a little more challenging than expected.

Today’s news is giving parents false hope. But in this announcement, the prime minister has abdicated responsibility for product safety, and has failed to put forward a plan for tackling the algorithms that cost Molly’s life and, tragically, will cost many more.

If there's one thing that marks out this man, it's that concern for the welfare of children is little more than skin-deep. 

Just As Soft As In The UK...

A French man has been convicted after his illegally imported pit bull dog killed his six-month pregnant girlfriend.

Don't start cheering just yet... 

Christophe Ellul, 51, received a suspended four-year sentence after DNA tests showed his dog, Curtis, was responsible for the 2019 attack that killed Elisa Pilarski.

And of course, he tried to wriggle out of it, as these owners always do: 

Ellul argued that Curtis, brought from the Netherlands, was not aggressive. He also attempted to blame the dogs that had been involved in a deer hunt in the forest for his girlfriend's death. However, DNA tests revealed that the pit bull had carried out the deadly attack.Sixty-two hunting hounds and the couple's other five dogs were also tested to exclude their involvement.

Imagine what that must have cost, in time and money! End that's not the worst of it...

In March, the presiding judge said Curtis now lives 'in a four-square-meter enclosure, fenced to prevent escape, with access to a sunny six-square-meter yard'. A 'plastic bone' is provided for him. His general condition is 'satisfactory,' his 'coat is shiny,' he has 'gained weight' and 'shows no signs of physical or mental suffering,' according to the report.

Yes, that's concern for the welfare and comfort of the killer beast that should already be lying on a slab at the vets awaiting cremation. But not if these idiots can help it! 

Animal activists have called for his pardon, including a petition on Change.org, which has received more than 80,000 signatures urging Curtis to be transferred to an animal shelter.

I would have said that France lacks the sort of soft-brain moron ‘animal lovers’ that would campaign to see a mutt that has killed a person spared destruction, unlike in the UK or US, but I’d obviously be wrong.

More Balls Dropped Than In The World Cup

A monitoring group repeatedly warned the Police Service of Northern Ireland over the past eight months that anti-immigration activists were circulating the addresses of properties that were targeted in this week’s Belfast riots. The Accountability Project Northern Ireland, a volunteer group formed last summer to monitor anti-immigration activity online, sent dozens of reports to the PSNI between November 2025 and June 2026.

Ooop! 

The Guardian understands a so-called hitlist of addresses has been circulating among far-right groups since August 2025 and was sent to the PSNI in January 2026. The addresses were among the locations targeted during this week’s anti-immigration disorder.

The reports sent to police also cited a Facebook post stating that HMOs in the Glengormley area “will now be treated as fair game and dealt with accordingly”.

Oh dear! Even the hapless Met Police would do better. If I was a conspiracy theorist, I'd suggest that it was ignored bevause a few weeping asylum seekers bundled into vans ahead of smoking homes made a good impression for Starmer's 'far right' crackdown. 

But I'm not, and frankly incompetence is easier to understand. Especially from these clowns. 

Anti-racist campaigners have spoken of their anger and frustration that months of warnings were not acted on in the runup to the rioting that has seen houses and cars burned, and racist checkpoints set up on main roads.

Wouldn't it be better to point that anger at the authorities who have stoked that local anger by ignoring concerns until a man nearly had his head hacked off by a person who shouldn’t have been in the country? 

Community groups described helping vulnerable families leave areas, while volunteers organised support for minority ethnic students travelling to GCSE exams. Campaigners also reported that some workers from minority ethnic backgrounds were leaving work early because of concerns about travelling home safely.

At some point, will these people ever see themselves as part of the problem, and not the solution? 

A spokesperson for End Deportations Belfast said the strategy used in the riots in Belfast were the same as those used in Northern Ireland since the 1970s. “They were setting up roadblocks and ID-checking cars around hospitals,” they said. “These roadblocks are designed to stretch police resources, and then they go and they commit pogroms in specific areas.”

It’s very different from the 1970s, then the tactics were designed to deal with people who wanted an occupying force out of their neighbourh… 

Oh. As you were.
