Beg Pardon?

The bus seemingly crashed into the wall of Trident House, an apartment block next to Hayes & Harlington station.

There's no 'seemingly' about it, the photos show the bus embedded in the building. What do you think happened, given the bus is a movable item and the building isn't?

A London Ambulance Service spokesman said: 'We were called at 7.02pm today (28 August) to reports of a road traffic collision involving a bus crashing into a building on Station Road, Hayes, UB3.

Only one of them was in the road to start with, I think you’ll find… 

The Met police have been contacted for comment.

And probably said ‘Oh no, not again!’ 

Judge for yourselves, Readers: 

New footage shows the moment the bus came off the mini roundabout in Hayes, clipping a man crossing the road before going into the building. Somehow, the man got up and walked away. The bus carried on across the pavement and didn’t stop until it hit the wall outside the station.… pic.twitter.com/fNuuCrL5gy

Oh, But He Is...

...he's focused on the risk to his premiership and political career that the prison overcrowding crisis represents.

The Prime Minister is facing a new backlash after changing the policy to keep PC Andrew Harper's killers behind bars, but at the same time opening the cell door to hundreds of dangerous offenders .In yet another U-turn on the controversial scheme, Mr Burnham said anyone convicted of unlawful killing will be excluded. But to make the change, ministers are finding extra cell spaces by releasing inmates serving indefinite terms under imprisonment for public protection sentences (IPPs) – which were given to offenders considered a significant risk to the public between 2005 and 2012.

One of Mr Burnham's own senior ministers condemned the plans, saying: 'The Prime Minister has been too focused on media response rather than actual risk. 'He's bowed to public pressure over the reaction to PC Harper's killers and not focused on the actual high-risk, high-harm perpetrators.'Are those who've committed manslaughter likely to come out of prison and commit manslaughter again? No. But I can guarantee you that the obsessed stalker or domestic abuser will come out and relentlessly pursue their victim again.'

Well, no doubt you voted for this weak-willed vacillating popinjay to replace the fatally-wounded Starmer so the fact you've now realised your mistake gives me no pleasure, but as a Labour MP you'll simply have to deny reality, won't you?

Sir Robert Buckland, a former justice secretary, said: 'I know first-hand the crisis facing the criminal justice system in Britain, but changing the early-release scheme from favouring one set of dangerous criminals to another set of dangerous criminals does very little to protect the public.'

As if that was a concern for a politician who is guarded by armed police everyehere he goes in his chauffeured limousine? 

Mr Burnham said spaces will also be created by deporting foreign prisoners.

How? Most countries don't want them back and human rights lawyers backed by middle class white women will fight toothaa nd nail to keep them here.

Being Prime Minister isn't what you hoped, eh, Andeh?

Quote Of The Month

 Fahrenheit 211 on the Nation Union of Journalists' capture by identity politics:

"Yes that’s where we are ladies and gentlemen. We are in a position where the nation’s lead union for journalists states that they no longer believe in a free press. How completely cooked is a union when it can’t stand up for basic principles or for journalists who follow these principles? At least the NUJ has given me the best reason I can think of for not wanting to be associated with them."

Longrider on the ridiculous Home Office pamplets that he's discovered are wrong on an aspect of the law relating to photogaphy into the bargain...

Handbags...

A trainee florist punched a fellow student then threw a drink at her in an argument over a Christmas wreath during a flower arranging class.

Silly, immature girlies...

Housewife Lorraine Jae, 51, assaulted Tracey Musker after she had a meltdown in a college classroom and grabbed her coat due to criticism of her coursework by their tutor.

Oh!

The court heard Jae, who is currently waiting for a hip operation, had no previous convictions. 

Sounds like they are planning on operating on the wrong end of her! 

Her lawyer Helen Clarke said in mitigation: 'The drink was in a carton - not a glass bottle or anything of that kind. 

'The argument involving the course tutor related to a dispute about her course work which the defendant thought she had done to a satisfactory standard. Miss Musker then got involved. 

'Clearly it was a short-lived matter and a heat of the moment reaction when the defendant felt extremely frustrated. 

'She had been studying the course for some time, it had not been the best experience and she had some problems along the way. 

'Nevertheless she persevered hoping to achieve a qualification as she was unable to continue other work she had been doing for many years. 

One wonders what her 'other work' might have been. 

'She thought this would be a new start but clearly it did not happen in that way. 

'Clearly this happened out of character and she has learnt her lesson... I can say from speaking to her she is sorry for what happened. She is apologetic to Miss Musker.'

They all say that! 

Ah, Back To Good Old British Bank Holiday Weather...
