Let's See The Same Apply Here!

A Green Party councillor gave advice to her constituents on how to avoid Metropolitan Police “surveillance” by sharing the location of one of the force’s facial recognition vans.

Hmm, the police won’t be too happy about that, but can they do anything about it? Well, Reader, they do in other areas… 

The warning of other drivers may constitute an offence obstructing a Police Officer. Obstructing a police officer means preventing a police officer carrying out his duties, or making it more difficult to do so. It must be a wilful act, meaning it was a deliberate act with the rider knowing and intending that the act will hinder the officer. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) charging standards actually state, among a list of behaviour, that warning other motorists of a police speed trap ahead would fulfil the offence. It doesn’t mention flashing headlights or waving at people, it just states warning other motorists.

But probably won’t invoke this, they seem to treat Greens as another of their favoured species after all.

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.

Usual Suspects...

Elijah Seriki, 23, was found with stab wounds on Andre Street, Hackney at around 1.40pm on Monday July 13, and died a short time later.

Police have been surprisingly quick to generate a theory about who killed him too. 

Police have named and pictured two men they want to speak to.The Met have confirmed that they would like to speak to Cavalli Harriott, 22, and Jayqwan Stevens-Burke, 23, as part of their enquiries.
Isn't that handy - they both have official mugshots

 Ah, wonderful enriching diversity!

Yet Another....

It seems they come more frequently than buses these days...
A man has been arrested after a dog caused serious injuries to two people on Saturday. Sussex Police said officers were called to Sunningdale Court in the Southgate area of Crawley, West Sussex, at about 13:00 BST, following reports of a dog dangerously out of control.

Another XL bully? No, Reader, its successor as the four-legged weapon/penis substitute for social inadequates on the streets of Britain. 

Armed and neighbourhood policing officers were sent to the scene and the Cane Corso breed dog was secured and assessed before being "humanely put to sleep in the interest of public safety and animal welfare", said the force.

And the mutt's owner? 

A 27-year-old man, believed to be the animal's owner, was arrested in connection with the incident and remains in custody, police confirmed.
Sussex Police said it was investigating the circumstances and urged anyone with relevant information to get in touch.

One hopes the CPS won't drop the ball this time. The antisocial owners of these things need to be brought to heel.

Translating Modern Plod Statements

Allow me to read between the lines to discover the real story behind what seems to have been, at first glance, a tragic car crash.
The driver of the Vauxhall, a man aged 43, was taken to hospital for treatment following the collision and was initially arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving while unfit through drink or drugs. However he has now been held by police on suspicion of murder and attempted murder.
Detective Chief Inspector Phil Walker, who is leading the investigation, said: 'Following initial enquiries, I can confirm this collision is now being treated as a murder investigation and the suspect has been re-arrested on suspicion of murder.

 'We treated this as a simple collision, because jumping to conclusions is what we do now, but then it turned out we'd been aware of trouble with this man before, so now the IPCC is startuing to turn up the heat'

'My thoughts continue to be with the victim's family and all that knew her. Her next of kin have been informed of this latest development in the investigation and they continue to be supported by specially trained officers.

 'And their main task is to prevent anyone raiding concerns and tipping off the press that we might have dropped a bollock here.'

'I appreciate this update may increase community concern, however please be reassured that there is no risk to the wider public and we are working to piece together the events which led to this tragic incident.

 'We are sweating cobs that nothing surfaces to get us criticised for failing to do anything before this man murdered someone'

'We remain keen to hear from any witnesses or anyone who might have dash cam footage from the area of the collision at the time.

 'Please help us do our jobs even though we won't thank you for it' 

'In addition, any witnesses who have dash cam footage of a black Vauxhall Astra from Cricklade High Street, Purton High Street, and surrounding areas on Tuesday June 30th.'

'Yes, I know every tiny high street in the land is bristling with CCTV but going through them all is boring and we'd rathere you did it for us'

They Aren't Dubbed 'Carnage Corsos' For Nothing...

A man has been banned from owning a dog for seven years and has had four of his pets taken away after he pleaded guilty to having a dog dangerously out of control in a public place. Leyion Charles-Bain, 64, of Military Road, Northampton, was also given a one-year community order by the town's magistrates.

Yes, it’s the replacement mutt for the bloodsport breed enthusiast who doesn’t want an XL bully any more, because of the hassle of compliance with restrictions.  The sort that a man half his age would find it difficult to control.

Police said Charles-Bain had been walking two cane corsos - a large, muscular, mastiff-type breed - on The Racecourse, a park near the town centre, on 6 March 2025 when they had attacked two other dogs. Charles-Bain's four dogs were handed over to the police for rehoming.

For ‘rehoming’ in a vet’s incinerator one hopes… 

Meanwhile, in another county:

A dog owner was found dead days after his two pets were put down after being visited by police. Arminas Jakubauskas, 34, was discovered dead at his home on Northgate in Lowestoft on Saturday. Lowestoft Police had said before Mr Jakubauskas’ death that officers attended his home in the town on Monday, June 22 “due to safety concerns raised by the owner of two dogs”.
Suffolk police said the dogs “were assessed to be dangerous and a risk to public safety” and were sedated by specially trained officers before being taken to a vet.
The statement added: “The dogs, with the permission of the owner, were then euthanised.

And the family dispute this, of course, scenting compo the way a cane corso scents a delicious toddler… 

The Lithuanian national who lived alone was described by his sister, Eglè Jakubauskaitė, as “a lovely man who always had a smile on his face”.However, Ms Jakubauskaitė, who lost contact with Mr Jakubauskas on June 24, believes her brother wouldn’t have allowed his dogs, Brisius and Merė, to be killed
“We have also been told that it was publicly stated that he had requested for his dogs to be euthanised
“Our family believes this is not true. He loved his dogs deeply and could never have wanted this to happen. 

The claim is going to be that the cops bullied him into it, no doubt. That’s already the claim from the ‘ae, poor doggies’ crowd on social media, naturally.

The loss of his dogs had a profound impact on his mental state.” 
Ms Jakubauskaitė explained that the family believed that the events surrounding their euthanasia contributed to his poor mental health, which ultimately led to his death.

He sounds just like the kind of unstable, easily-led individual who shouldn’t travel been put in charge of powerful and aggressive mutts!

It's No Myth..

..officers prove that on an almost daily basis.
Policing in Britain has “adopted the language of activism” and official guidance has “over-corrected” to combat accusations of racism, one of the UK’s most senior officers has said. Sir Stephen Watson, the chief constable of Greater Manchester police, said he did not believe that “two-tier policing” existed or that forces were biased against white people.

As a famous movie lawyer once said,  it doesn’t matter what he believes what matters is what he can prove, and the evidence is all against him. 

Police had, however, allowed that perception to take hold in part as a result of anti-racism guidance that advised officers to treat suspects differently depending on their ethnicity.
“Particularly in the light of the tragic murder of Henry Nowak, I do understand that this idea that two-tier policing takes place is now widespread,” he said. “I don’t think it’s justified, but I can understand where it’s coming from.”

Well, let me help; it's coming from incidents like this one (now seemingly removed since I first saw it, but it’s an incident where a black guy attacked a white man and the police rolled up and arrested the victim, again. I’ll leave it in in case the poster appeals and it returns):

And this one: And this one:

Especially when compared to this one:  

We can all see how police in this country now police 'without fear or favour' and its not at all!

Watson, who is tipped as the potential successor to Sir Mark Rowley as the head of the Metropolitan police, said forces must be “a little less timid about making sure we emphasise our impartiality”.

Practicing some would be a good start! 

“I think we have some lessons to learn … Perhaps we have been uncritical in adopting certain elements of language. We’ve adopted the language of activism,” he said. “We’ve sometimes taken on board what are challenged concepts and we’ve written those into policy and intent – all with the best of reasons – but these issues then get held up almost as exhibit X, as the proof that we do not treat people equally.”

And this man is being tipped as a successor to the head of the Met, when Rowley's gaffes get too numerous to tolerate! 

Watson has been called Britain’s “anti-woke” police chief after he instructed officers not to take the knee during Black Lives Matters protests in 2021 because it would undermine impartiality. He said he would “probably kneel before the queen, God and Mrs Watson, that’s it”.

That won't last, not when he gets a sniff of the top job.

Stoking The Flames....

 


Yes, Reader, that Neil Basu, who never saw a race bandwagon he wasn't happy to leap upon, here opining about others calling out the racist murder of Henry Nowak by a Sikh man obsessed with weapons, whose counter-claim of racism led Hampshire Police to treat the victim as suspect.

An event which brought home to even the most die-hard doubters that there is indeed two-tier policing in the UK, and which, if the weather had stayed hot, would have had unfortunate consequences for Southampton Police Station.

And let’s not forget that we wouldn’t even know as much as we do about this case if not for the pressure brought to bear on it by social media!

So spare me the ‘don’t look back in anger’ left wing commentators urging us to sing kumbayah and not descend into violence lest our cause is tarnished, when we know what they are really worried about is the edifice of multiculturalism falling down around their ears.

I Was Considering Buying An Apple Watch Too....

...because I have become fed up with my Radley watch deciding not to charge up and I have a cash reward for completing 40 years service to spend. So I was already looking at Apple, since it'll seemlessly blend with all the other Apple products I have. And I have in facy now ordered one. Then I saw this:
Two men who filmed themselves speeding at 139mph in a 30mph zone while inhaling from balloons before crashing and killing the driver of another car have been sentenced to a total of 23 years in jail
Uways Hussain, 20, and Usmon Mahmood, 23, had spent the night driving dangerously through Manchester before colliding with a vehicle being driven by Sylvester Abayomi.

Just more 'driving while ethnic' on Britain's streets, entirely unhindered  by traffic cops...

Rachel Shenton, prosecuting, said the Golf had been driven 'at speed' through the light and Mahmood had 'chanted encouragement' to Hussain as he drove. Immediately after the collision, Greater Manchester Police received an alert from Hussain's Apple watch which detected he had been involved in a collision.

Wow! I didn't know that was a feature. A watch that alerts the cops you've crashed! No wonder they are all seemingly incompetent and lazy these days, tech is doing their job for them!

Today they were jailed at Manchester Crown Court after pleading guilty to the charges against them.
Greater Manchester Police received several emergency calls to the crash and the automatic alert from the Apple watch.

The judge was pretty harsh, considering the race of the defendants and the location

The judge described the video footage as 'terrifying' and said Hussain had shown a 'flagrant disregard for the safety of other road users' and undertaken 'deliberate risk-taking seemingly for the thrill of it'.The pair had not attempted to assist the victim, he said, but had fled the scene following the crash and Mr Abayomi was killed by 'conduct that was appalling and entirely avoidable'.

But not when it came to their driving: 

He also handed both men an eight-year driving ban.

It should have been a lifetime ban.

A New Low For The Police...

Vikrum Digwa is on trial at Southampton Crown Court charged with the murder of 18-year-old Henry Nowak, from Chafford Hundred, in Belmont Road, Southampton, on December 3 2025. The 23-year-old is also charged with carrying a knife in public and his mother, Kiran Kaur, 53, is accused of assisting an offender by removing a weapon from the murder scene.

Another day, another life lost to the fetishisation of 'enrichment' 

Nicholas Lobbenberg KC, prosecuting, told the jury the accountancy and finance student was sending Snapchat videos to friends as he was walking home from a night out with his football team when the fatal incident happened. He said former Harris Academy Chafford Hundred pupil Mr Nowak had drunk less than the drink-drive limit during the evening.

Interesting phrasing. If he's prosecuting a rape does he feel the need to emphasise how the victim's skirt was of regulation length?   

“His phone captures the moment he met Vikrum Digwa,” Mr Lobbenberg said. “Vikrum Digwa was carrying an extremely large knife in a sheath openly displayed over his clothing.

Ah. but he's a Sikh, and so allowed to carry a decorative knife, right? Yes, Reader and he was, but the murder weapon wasn't this... 

The prosecutor said as well as the shastar – the Punjabi word for weapon or knife – which had a 21cm blade, Digwa had a kirpan knife around his neck and under his clothing.
“After he had been stabbed, Henry climbed on to a bin and over a fence to try and escape but he had already been fatally wounded and there was a blood trail on the street which demonstrates that he must have been stabbed before he climbed on to the bin and over the fence. 
“Vikrum Digwa chose to aggressively pursue him.”

To kill him, or rob him? He did after all do both. 

The prosecutor said a video of the incident was found on Mr Nowak’s phone which was discovered in Digwa’s pocket.
Mr Lobbenberg said the defendant’s father and brother were at the scene shortly afterwards along with his mother, who was captured on video footage taking the knife back to their family home in nearby St Denys Road where it was later found by police.

 Cunning enough to remove the murder weapon, not smart enough to destroy it. 

The prosecutor said Digwa denied at the scene stabbing Mr Nowak and added: “Vikrum Digwa said he had been racially abused and attacked by a drunken man. Henry protested he hadn’t attacked Vikrum Digwa and he had been stabbed.” Mr Lobbenberg said: “He didn’t seek help for the man he had injured with his sizeable knife, instead he accused him of being a racist and being drunk.” 
He added that police initially handcuffed Mr Nowak and started giving him first aid when he then collapsed.

Oh but Ambush, I hear you say, the police didn't know at that point that he'd been stabbed, give them a break, maybe the wounds weren;t visible? Well, the blood certainly was, and some wounds were in the front, not the back as he tried to flee:

Mr Lobbenberg said a post-mortem examination found Mr Nowak suffered four stab wounds and a cut to his jaw, with two of the wounds to the back of his legs.

But for those cops, the magic words had been spoken, so they will be expecting to fear no consequences for handcuffing a dying murder victim. Henry, you see, is white.  

The consequences of public disgust will be felt by other cops, when they need the public's help with something, after all...

A Masterclass In Dirty Politics...

The investigation into reports of a rape outside a church in Epsom that led to widespread public disorder will close as police are “confident there was no offence”.

If you thought the main story about dirty politics and public image was around Mandelson last week, think again:  

In an update on Thursday, the force said after a “thorough investigation” it became clear the woman in her 20s suffered an accidental head injury after a night out, leading her to make a confused report.

Perfect excuse not to have to charge her and so draw even more ire from the #IBelieveHer mob!  

Those actions were condemned as “shameful” by Surrey police and crime commissioner Lisa Townsend. “The mindless scenes we witnessed last night where our police officers were targeted with missiles were nothing short of shameful,” she said on Tuesday. She added some of those involved in the unrest had travelled from elsewhere to cause trouble, and warned them to stay away. “I am a firm believer in people’s right to lawful protest, but sadly, some of those present in Epsom yesterday stepped way beyond that line and the type of behaviour we witnessed will not be tolerated,” she said.

I thought the UK police couln't beclown themselves any more - Reader, I was wrong!

IC5 Or IC4? Maybe AC-12 Should Help You Do Your Job Better?

A police hunt is under way to track down a sex predator who assaulted three women in the space of just minutes on Edinburgh streets.
Well, I'm sure the good citizens of that fair city will assist you in tracking this animal down. If they can.
The suspect is described as being of Asian appearance, aged between 25 and mid-30s, slim build, around 5ft 8in tall, with light facial hair. He was wearing a khaki or brown-coloured coat and carrying a backpack.

'Asian', eh? Well. Edinburgh does have a lot of Japanese tourists, as I know, having been asked by a trio of  giggling Japanese girls to photograph them in front of Greyfriars Bobby's statue last time I was there. But I don't think that's really what they mean... 

The first assault happened around 5.20pm on Fettes Row, where a woman was approached from behind by a man who sexually assaulted her and made sexual comments.
Just ten minutes later, at around 5.30pm, another woman was attacked as she walked her dog on Inverleith Row. She was also approached from behind and sexually assaulted before the man walked off towards Dundas Street.
A short time after that, a third woman was targeted as she walked past Stockbridge Church on Saxe Coburg Street. The man sexually assaulted her and exposed himself before fleeing the scene. Police believe the same man was responsible for all three incidents.

I know all those places, as Fettes Row is at the end of Royal Crescent, whrere my brother lives, and those are the streets I walk when I go to Stockbridge - they are all remarkably quiet streets where anyone non-white will stick out like a sore thumb. Well off the well-beaten tourist track, apart from Stockbridge itself, so an odd area for a sex maniac to lurk in. 

So a better description would help enormously.

Don't We Have Enough Real Problems In Society That We Have To Imagine More?

One in four people think there is nothing wrong with creating and sharing sexual deepfakes, or they feel neutral about it, even when the person depicted has not consented, according to a police-commissioned survey.

Unfortunate, when the point of the survey was not to find out if it was a real problem after all, but, like so many other worthless studies, to provide cover for what activists want to do anyway. 

The survey of 1,700 people commissioned by the office of the police chief scientific adviser found 13% felt there was nothing wrong with creating and sharing sexual or intimate deepfakes – digitally altered content made using AI without consent. A further 12% felt neutral about the moral and legal acceptability of making and sharing such deepfakes.

What to do, what to do? The answer's obvious - push on regardless. 

Det Ch Supt Claire Hammond, from the national centre for VAWG and public protection, reminded the public that “sharing intimate images of someone without their consent, whether they are real images or not, is deeply violating”.

How very dare you ignorant peasants disagree!  I’ll tell you worthless subjects what you should think!

Commenting on the survey findings, she said: “The rise of AI technology is accelerating the epidemic of violence against women and girls across the world. Technology companies are complicit in this abuse and have made creating and sharing abusive material as simple as clicking a button, and they have to act now to stop it.”

Blaming technology companies for men harassing women is like blaming car companies for enabling getaway drivers. 

She urged victims of deepfakes to report any images to the police. Hammond said: “This is a serious crime, and we will support you. No one should suffer in silence or shame.”

But if you mention a racial or homophobic slur in your texts, don’t expect us not to notice, after all, a hate crime is a tick in the box!

More Killer Kids...

A woman who died inside her home has been named by police after a 13-year-old girl arrested on suspicion of her murder was released on bail. The woman who died in Swindon on Friday was 55-year-old Sarah Forrester, Wiltshire Police have confirmed.
Can't name the suspect, of course. She's a 'child' and so must be protected.
The 13-year-old girl was later arrested on suspicion of murder and taken into custody for questioning. She has since been bailed while enquiries continue.

Bail for murder? Are there any clues that might show if murder by a child was a likely event in this lady's life? 

Ms Forrester worked as a counsellor at The Kelly Foundation, a Swindon charity which supports individuals with severe anxiety, depression and other mental health issues.

That's a pretty big one, eh, Reader? The police churn out the usual predictable boilerplate:  

Ch Supt Guy Elkins, from Wiltshire Police, said: "Our thoughts are with Sarah's friends and family at this awful time.
"An investigation into her death is being led by our major crime investigation team and local residents will continue to see increased policing activity in the area."
He said police are not looking for anyone else in connection with Ms Forrester's death.

And of course, that favoured phrase of the oh-so-modern copper:  

"We continue to urge people not to speculate on the incident," he added.

Urge away, Guy. Me, I'll speculate all I want. It is, after all, still a free country. Despite the best efforts of this wretched government..

Another Day, Another Murderous 'Child'...

Referring to what might have led to the death of Ms Bednarczyk, Mr Skinner added: 'The sad truth is we may never know - but we don't need to know - what brought about this situation.
'Difficult as it may be to accept, this killing is nothing to do with her (the girl's) mental health - as much as we all might want the comfort of seeking to say to ourselves that mental health and diminished responsibility explains what she did. 'Why do I say this? Because of the evidence of her premeditation – I have told you about the research she was doing - because of the evidence of her lies, and because of the evidence of respected and experienced medical professionals who say she did not have an abnormality of mental function which gives rise to the defence of diminished responsibility.

And yet, despite all this, she is still accorded accommodations due to her status as a 'child' by the justice system: 

Because of the girl's age, she is sat on the back row of the court benches accompanied by an intermediary and her social worker instead of in the glass-panelled dock. Neither judge Mrs Justice Tipples nor any of the barristers in the case are wearing gowns or wigs, and jurors have been told the sitting hours will mirror those of a school day.

But the odd part about this story is what happened after she was picked up by the police close to the ctime scene:

The teenager was taken to hospital, where she was seen smiling by a police officer and a nurse and did not appear to be 'confused or responding to voices telling her what to do', the court heard. Mr Skinner added that the girl asked for her mobile phone to be returned to her, and started sending text messages to her friends 'about what she said had happened'.

Isn't securing a suspect's phone SOP for police these days? Frankly this is the sole astounding thing about this story!

Nothing...!

It’s five years since the TV presenter killed herself after being charged with assaulting her partner. Her mother Christine wants the world to know what the police, crown prosecution service and media got wrong.

So says the blurb of a subheading to this article by her mother. Prompting my response. 

Caroline Flack was one of Britain’s most successful presenters – and also one of the most talked about – when she was arrested in December 2019 and charged with assaulting her partner, Lewis Burton.
She lost her job as the host of Love Island ....

 She was sacked? 

-....– she stepped down in order to not detract attention from the show.

 Oh.

She lost her home ...

What? Who evicted her, and how?

....– it was so besieged by the press that she never went back there after her arrest.

  Oh.

She felt she lost the public, too, especially with the drip-drip of damning (crucially, incorrect) detail in tabloids and across social media.

Ah, I see where we are going with this. It was social media that dunnit, folks!  The TwitterBeasts killed Beauty! 

When she took her life nine weeks later, in February 2020, the narrative shifted. Now there were tributes to her talent as well as stories of her struggle with mental illness. The criminal case was awkwardly glossed over and grouped in with this, as sad evidence of her troubled mind. The correctness of her prosecution, though, was barely questioned.
Even Nazir Afzal, a former prosecutor with the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), appeared on breakfast TV to stress that “We as a country have said we need to take domestic abuse seriously”. The CPS, he insisted, could only “follow the evidence”.

We'll gloss over quoting establishment-stooge Afzal, a DEI hire busted flush if ever there was one. But wasn't he quite right? Domestic violence is domestic violence. 

In Caroline Flack: Search for the Truth, Christine Flack attempts to do just this, to follow the evidence. For years, she has been haunted by the possibility that Caroline did, in fact, receive “special treatment” and was prosecuted only because the police and CPS feared the scrutiny that came with a celebrity like Caroline. They couldn’t be seen to do nothing.

Thay can't win, can they? If they do or if they don't... 

The previous night, Caroline and Burton had been out separately, returning late to Caroline’s flat in north London. They had both been drinking, and went to bed. Burton was sleeping when a woman messaged him. Caroline read it. She was drunk, angry and upset when she went to wake him. The inquest heard that she later told police: “I had his phone in one hand and mine in the other. I whacked him round the head. There was no excuse for it. I was just upset. I admit I did it. He was cheating on me.”

As blatent a confession as any copper has probably ever heard. 

The inquest heard that a huge row ensued where Caroline became hysterical. When Burton threatened to call the police, Caroline begged him not to. (“If you call the police, I’m done.”) When he did, she harmed herself and by the time police arrived, she was seriously injured, frenzied and half-naked.

No different to many a domestic violence scene cops have to roll up to, no doubt. 

“While Jody (her sister) was outside the police station, a police officer went out and told her: ‘It’s all right – the CPS has thrown it out. Just wait here for her,’” says Christine. That initial CPS document judged that prosecuting wasn’t in the public interest because there was no history of domestic violence and Caroline was 40 with no previous convictions. It noted that Caroline had repeatedly admitted the assault and that the injured party, Burton, did not support a prosecution.

And there it would have ended and she'd have got away with it, if not for one honest copper. 

Shortly after, though, a detective inspector came on duty and intervened. She had a shooting to deal with that night, as well as a vulnerable missing person and, according to the documentary, this DI had no history of challenging CPS decisions. But she chose to appeal against this one, arguing that there had been no clear admission of guilt (the coroner found that Caroline had admitted to hitting Burton) and that “she has caused significant injury” to Burton. As a result, Caroline was charged with assault by beating.

As she should have been. 

She knows she is treading a very fine line here. Christine is adamant that she doesn’t want to minimise the harms caused by domestic abuse.

No, just the ones caused by her daughter.

‘Enquiries Into What Type Of Animal They Are Are Ongoing…’

 Yikes, tough one there, eh, Lancashire plod? 


'Aaahh-hoo, werewolves of Preston...'

Well, since you got the dog-handlers out to catch them, could they have been...dogs? I know, I know, it's a tough one, don't strain yourselves.
Sightings have been made in recent days on Station Lane as well as Hollowforth Lane and Eaves Lane with speculation on the 'This Is Broughton' Facebook group that they could be 'coyotes or golden jackals'

Lancashire plod didn't let themselves speculate too much;

"Officers, including our specially trained dog handlers attended, and the three animals have been secured and taken to a safe location. Enquiries into what type of animal they are, are ongoing, and once those enquiries have been conducted, they will be handed over to the relevant authorities.
"We know this might have caused some discussion in the community, so we thought it important to provide you with this update and reassure you that there is not thought to be any risk to the public. Thank you to those who made reports to us or provided us with information or footage this afternoon."

Let's hope there aren't three hairy-palmed hungover Lancastrian lads in the nude in the kennels this morning, since it was Hallowe'en last night!

About Those 'Untouchable' Black Fare Evaders In London ...

We all know the ones. Wondering why nothing is ever done about it, as you and your fellow commuters pay ever higher fares to TfL year on year? Wonder no more.
The girl and her friend were seen pushing through the barriers after a station employee refused to let them pass for free.

A station employee no doubt of the same ethnic origin? 

An Independent Office for Police Conduct spokesperson said: “The court heard that on 22 September 2024, BTP officers responded to a request for assistance from railway staff after a child pushed their way through ticket barriers at Camden Road overground station.

And that was a mistake, because they weren’t thanked for it.

“After PC Young approached the child, CCTV footage showed the officer restraining her by placing her in a headlock. The child remained in a headlock for approximately 30 seconds before PC Young pushed her back through the ticket barrier and placed his hand around her throat while pushing her up against a ticket machine.
“PC Young handcuffed and arrested the child, and she was later de-arrested at the scene.”

Why? Well, one can only wonder. 

PC Young will also face a gross misconduct hearing for breaching the police standards of professional behaviour and is due to be sentenced on 13 November.

This is a disgrace.

So Do You Not Have A Description Of The ‘Men’ Either…?

Detectives are appealing for witnesses after a woman was raped by a group of men in a churchyard in an Oxfordshire town.

‘Men’ of no obvious appearance again? 

Officers said they wanted to trace a “Good Samaritan” they believe might have tried to help the woman as well as anyone else who might have information. The woman, who is in her 30s, was raped by a group of men at St Mary’s Church’s churchyard and the surrounding area of Banbury town centre, police said.

And a witness of no appearance too? 

DS Mark Personius, the investigating officer, said: “This is a horrific crime and Thames Valley police is conducting a thorough investigation to identify the offenders. “I am making a public appeal to a specific witness, a woman, who we believe may have tried to help the victim. At this stage, we don’t have a description of this Good Samaritan. However, if you believe you are the woman, please contact the police as you may have vital information that can help us piece together what happened.”

You don't appear to have anything to 'piece together', or are you simply not telling us what you do have deliberately? The police do, after all, have form for this

The Untouchables...

The unruly Doran family made global headlines and were branded the 'holidaymakers from hell' after an anti-social rampage saw them deported in disgrace from New Zealand.
Back in Britain, patriarch Patrick Doran then sparked outrage upon settling in Worcestershire, where locals said he demanded a six-figure sum to leave or face years of threats and collapsing house prices.

Isn't that extortion? Is it even any different to what is being done to JLR or Kido Nursries, except it's less high tech? 

Now, the clan are once again being forced to pack up - after losing a bitter planning war in the heart of rural Lincolnshire. After reinventing himself under the alias 'Alan Gray', Mr Doran bought Stickney Showground, near Boston, and began illegally developing a three-acre grazing field into a gated, gravelled fortress.n February this year, East Lindsay District Council refused permission for Mr Doran to open a gypsy and traveller site with room for up to 30 static and touring caravans, a toilet and wash block and a dayroom building. An enforcement notice then followed, ordering the demolition of brick structures already put up without permission and demanding the land be restored to open fields.

Which they'll simply disobey like they disobey every law. 

The Dorans, along with the Collins family who had joined them on the site, now have 12 months to leave and 15 months to return the site to its original state.

Why? They moved in over a weekend, give them a weekend to fuck off again!  

Speaking to the Daily Mail at the site this week, one of the residents, who described herself as a family member, complained that they are 'the most hated people on earth', adding that 'they [the council] think they can sweep us under the carpet'.

I'd say they were their own worst enemies, but that's ruling out all the people they move in next to!  

Another man associated with the site, who didn’t give his name, said: ‘We want to live a peaceful life’, then threatened our reporter with ‘trouble’ if they reported on the site or returned.

Every time, they show you what they are, so when are politicians and the police going to treat them as what they are?
