Coming Soon To An Asylum Hotel Near You?

A search is under way to find a group of migrants after a man in his 20s was stabbed to death on a French beach. 

French police launched an investigation after a body was found on Terminus Beach, in the popular seaside resort of Berck-sur-Mer (Ed: popular with whom? Surely not French tourists!) on Thursday. 

It is feared that the suspected murderers fled across the Channel to the UK by small boat soon after.

And indeed, they have good reason to suspect this: 

That same day, at 6am, a small boat set sail from the same beach carrying 165 migrants. The vessel was later escorted into Dover for its occupants to be processed.

It's ok, I'm sure Border Farce and Immigration have vetted them all carefully, eh? 

Another Good Reason to Euthanise at the Scene - H&S

The death of a kennel owner who died after being attacked by a dog is to be investigated. Adam Watts was the owner and operator of Juniper Kennels and Cattery in Angus when he was attacked on December 22, 2021.

Scotland again. And it's not like similar hasn't happened this side of the Border.  

A Fatal Accident Inquiry is to be held into the death and is expected to focus on the management of potentially dangerous dogs in temporary kennels and how Police Scotland shares dogs’ histories and behaviours with kennel operators.

When they have actually seized a snarling ball of muscle and teeth instead of ignoring it and leaving it in the community , do you really need details? Can't you tell for yourself that it's dangerous? 

Save Our Siezed Dogs and Salt’s Helping Hounds Rescue said Mr Watts had died while “working with the dogs he loved and was so passionate about”.

Perhaps if he hadn't been so 'passionate' he'd have been more careful? Perhaps the inquiry should recommend that being an 'animal lover' isn't sufficient qualification to run kennels like these, and is in fact contra-indicated. 

Debbie Carroll of the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service, Scotland’s death investigation authority, said:  “The death of Adam Watts occurred while in the course of his employment and as such a Fatal Accident Inquiry is mandatory.        

“The lodging of the First Notice enables FAI proceedings to commence under the direction of the Sheriff.            

“Mr Watts’ family will continue to be kept informed of significant developments as court proceedings progress.” 

Mr Watts family woulf be best advised to secure a lawyer as feral and vicious as the mutt that killed him, who can point out that if police standing orders were to shoot such beasts at the scene, he'd still be alive. 

Only The Frauds And Crooks?

 

...I mean, it's already housed plenty, eh, Matt?

I guass Christopher Nolan was on to something, choosing Greek myth as a subject!

Will It Address The Elephant In The Room?

A national strategy to address the “public health disaster” of drowning has been launched in England – hours after two women died at an Essex beach, the latest in a surge of water-related tragedies.

The initial police reports of this one were shielded in secrecy and refusal to elaborate rather like the Brighton case earlier, but my Spidey Sense immediately leapt to a drowning, and of someone not white, just as in that case. And so it proved to be.

Among the measures being considered are: providing every child in England with water safety education and swimming lessons; establishing how climate change can increase risks; and media campaigns to inform bystanders how to respond to a potential drowning.

Pointless unless you are also going to look at who is drowning in such numbers. It happens every hot summer, after all. And often not to people called Mary or George. Even the esteeemed 'Guardian' has noticed this phenomenon.

Drowning prevention strategies for Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are also being launched this week. Speaking at the announcement of the strategy in Canary Wharf, east London, on Thursday, Prof Mike Tipton, the chair of Water Safety England, said the measures would “eradicate the scourge of drowning”.

Unless you are going to eradicate human nature, how are you going to do that? Even the token white Brit they rolled out to speak knows that's a hope based on nothing:

Vanessa Abbess, whose 17-year-old son, Joe, died after getting into difficulty in the water off Bournemouth beach in 2023, warned the public against being “naive and complacent”. Sunnah Khan, a 12-year-old girl, died alongside Joe after being caught in a rip current. 

Abbess said: “As a society, there’s an element of naivety and complacency regarding the dangers of open water swimming. 

“It’s not enough to know how to swim in a warm pool if you don’t know what to do to help your chances of survival if conditions change or you find yourself in difficulty in open water. 

The risk needs to be assessed. You need to stop and think. You wouldn’t cross a road without thinking.”

I'll assume Ms Abbess doesnt get out much, because the young of all races tend to do that as well. 

This Must Be Why They Call Each Other 'Brother'

,,,and I just thought it was the uncertainty principle.

A man has been found guilty of assisting Daniel Khalife after his high-profile escape from HMP Wandsworth.

 And who would do such a thing? No doubt you too will be shocked at the name, Reader...

Adeel Khan, 32, from Waltham Forest, helped supply Khalife with money following his escape in September 2023.

And in a nice touch of irony: 

Khan will be sentenced at the same court on September 4.

Can they both be put on the same depportation flight too? 

It's Just The 'New Scots' Trying To Fit In....

It’s not exactly the Campbells and the McDonalds, is it?

Three senseless killings in the space of six months, all involving teenagers and bladed weapons, have raised concern over youth-related knife crime in Scotland to a level not seen for many years. The deaths of Amen Teklay, Kayden Moy and John McNab last year left many wondering whether the country was going backwards to the shameful time when Scotland endured one of the worst homicide rates in western Europe.

Probably, but it’s not going to stick out too much, as every part of the country is afflicted with knife crime and youth culture now. And the stories of the murders will be familiar reading to Londoners.

 A jury at the High Court in Glasgow found them both not guilty. The boys are now aged 16 and 17 but cannot be named because of their age. The 16-year-old said both he and Amen had swords and claimed that he stabbed him in self-defence. The older teenager said he had been standing a distance away and did not attack Amen. There were emotional scenes in court as Amen's family and friends heard the verdict.

Perhaps if the families had spend more time knowing what they were up to, there'd be less surprise at consequences catching up with them? 

On the day of the attack the teenagers took a train to Irvine after discovering through social media that Kayden and his friends were among a large group of teenagers who had congregated there. Cole Turley, 18, admitted the killing, while Jay Stewart, 19 and a 15-year-old boy who cannot be named for legal reasons, were found guilty of murder following a trial at the High Court in Glasgow. At the same court on Tuesday morning, the judge Lord Scott sentenced both Stewart and Turley to a minimum of 16 years in detention, and the 15-year-old to a minimum of 14 years.

So Scotland is noy alone in this, sad to say. 

We Know You're A Bird-Brain, Stella, No Need To Prove It...

The lefty Labour MP posted a video on X showcasing what she believed to be an escaped pet parrot in a Walthamstow park.

And the internet responded with its usual magnificence posting pictures of badgers with 'lost dog found' captions, until the relentless mocking meant she deleted her Tweet. But of course, she’s equally ignorant of the fact that screenshots exist as she is the existence of feral parakeets.

You Can Never Close 'The Disadvantage Gap'

The gap between how well pupils from better-off backgrounds perform at school compared with their classmates from lower-income households has widened, according to a new report. Despite some improvements in the years since Covid, the Education Policy Institute (EPI) said the disadvantage gap had widened again in England and was still bigger "at every phase" of school than it was before the pandemic.

Ah, ‘before the pandemic’. Nicely slipped in there, that mad time when all plans were derailed, even socialist ones. 

The Department for Education said it was working to close the disadvantage gap by delivering opportunities for every child, including expanding government-funded childcare and extending eligibility for free school meals.

Working to close the disadvantage gap by funnelling money, taxpayer money at that, towards a hopeless cause. Typical socialist trick.

The EPI said the overall difference in academic achievement between low-income students and their wealthier peers was now 17% greater for children in early years than it was before Covid.

Hardly a crisis that requires government intervention, is it? 

"The size of the gap between the educational outcomes of children from more and less advantaged backgrounds is a scourge on our society," Julie McCulloch, chief executive of the EPI said.

Really? I can think of many things which could truly be considered a scourge on society, but this is not one of then. 

The EPI made a number of recommendations in its report for how to achieve it, including widening access to free funded childcare to all children, and increasing the amount of money schools can receive for the number of children they teach who are eligible for free school meals.

The Local Government Association called for more investment in the SEND workforce, and for a review into which children qualify for funded childcare hours, to make sure "those on lower incomes do not miss out".

The Department for Education said the government would do "whatever it takes" to ensure every child had access to opportunity, regardless of their background.

If some children don't take advantage of the access that already exists what more should be done is up to their parents, not the governement.

What Fresh Hell Is This?

A police press release:

A 22-year-old man has been charged in connection with an incident in Bristol in which a teenage girl was raped and a second teenage girl was sexually assaulted. 

Javed Orykhel, of Bedminster, an Afghan national whose self-defined ethnicity is Arab, has been charged with one count of rape, two counts of sexual assault, and one count of possession of a class B drug.

I suppose it's no great leap from accepting that a man can self-describe as a woman to having to accept that he can self-describe as a particular ethnic group. If you've already drunk the 'identity' Kool-Aide, and the police farces certain have.
