She Just Wants Needs Publicity...

Zara Larsson slammed Immigration and Customs Enforcement as she declared her love for immigrants, trans people, socialism and even criminals in a furious social media rant.

To which I can only say...

The Swedish pop singer, 28....

 Oh.

...has long been a champion of left-wing causes and posted several furious rants to her Instagram story in reaction to the ICE-involved shooting of Minnesota woman Renee Nicole Good.

All the things that have made her native Sweden the lovely, welcoming, safe place that it is today seems to be what she claims to revere... 

'The reason why my sweet, loving, kind, caring, compassionate, smart, generous, talented, thoughtful man can't come to the US - AT ALL - to visit me ever since we got together almost six years ago is because he has a criminal record. Guess for what! Weed!'

A criminal record is still a criminal record, sweetie, even if you don't think it should be one. And if you're missing him so much, you can always go back to Sweden, can't you?  

I Think The Phrase Is: 'You're Bang To Rights, Son!'

Police chiefs facing scrutiny over a decision to ban fans of an Israeli football team from attending a match in Birmingham have insisted the move was not politically influenced. West Midlands police (WMP) leaders defended their position at the home affairs committee on Tuesday after being recalled to give further evidence over the decision to ban fans of Maccabi Tel Aviv from attending a Europa League match against Aston Villa on 6 November.

Just the WMP living down to their reputation, or something more sinister? 

Members of the home affairs committee on Tuesday recalled West Midlands police’s chief constable Craig Guildford, and commanders involved in the decision making, greeting parts of the force’s new testimony before them with outrage.Police said they had intelligence the Israeli fans would be the main perpetrators of trouble, a claim that is disputed.

The one thing guarenteed to irk politicians is when their pets in blue start lying to them. That's something they are free only to do to us, the public who are paying for them. 

The cross-party committee of MPs said parts of the intelligence gathering seemed “one sided”, inflating the threat Maccabi fans may have posed while underplaying the threat to them from those in Birmingham angered by Israel’s attacks on Gaza. They said the minutes from SAG meetings showed pressure coming from two councillors, who said that away fans should not attend the game.

And we can guess who those two councillors were. Or rather, what they were.

As intelligence was being gathered ahead of the game, one document contained claims locals in Birmingham might “arm” themselves.

'Locals' with good old Birmingham names? I suspect not. 

Guildford denied he or the police force were politically motivated to find evidence to justify the ban. “From everything that I’ve read, and the commanders that I spoke to, I do not believe that there was political influence on that decision. 

“Lots of local politicians and local members of the community I’m sure wanted to try and influence it, but I honestly don’t think it was influenced,” he told the committee.

You couldn't lie straight in bed, Guildford. Even if you were to be believed, and we were to accept that you honestly believe that, it makes you a disgrace to the uniform and a total liability due to extreme gullibility... 

And Why Should This Be A Surprise?

 

To the families of the victims, the idea that a woman might have had a hand in the deaths, as reported last week, is an unexpected twist to say the least.

After all, there's even a book about it.

Say What You Want About The Freemasons...

 

...but at least they can spell! 

I Don't Think He's Down To That Just Yet...

 

..though Matt may be right, if he has to commit everything else to Greenland and Iran.

Sunday Funnies...

 And not a Banksy among the lot! 

Not At All, It's The Least A Taxpaying Farmer Should Expect...

Mr Jackson told the Daily Mail of the police response: 'It was a little bit OTT (over the top), I must admit.'But nevertheless they did come, but when they got there, the disaster had already happened, and the dog was long gone.'

The police are always a day late and a dollar short in these cases, but at least this time they turned up ready for action. Some detectives would have been good though: 

There was also speculation that the dog in question could have been owned by one of several famous footballers who live in the area. However, Mr Jackson dispelled the rumour, saying: 'I don't think this dog has any connection with him whatsoever.' He believes he is aware of whose dog the real culprit is, however, with three witnesses all reporting the same person. 

He did not reveal who he believes is responsible. Mr Jackson added: 'This dog in question, I think is kept for a status symbol, and it's there to ward people off. 'It's kept for a reason; it isn't a pet.'

 I think we can read between the lines to what breed is under discussion here....

But whether he can get a legal case against the owners may be halted because an update on The Dogs (Protection of Livestock) (Amendment) Act 2025 is due to come into force on March 18, 2026. This act would empower police to enter premises, take DNA and other forensic evidence from dogs suspected of 'worrying livestock'. But this new law comes in exactly three months too late for Mr Jackson.

As always. Police PR Team weren't exactly on the ball here:  

A Cheshire Police spokesperson said: 'At around 1pm Thursday 18 December, police were called to reports that a dog had attacked a number of sheep on a farm on Bradford Lane, Nether Alderley. 

'Officers from the Rural Crime Team attended the scene and found that 21 sheep had been killed by an unknown dog. 

'Armed police also attended the scene, but no firearms were dispatched.'

Eh? You meant 'used' or 'fired'?  

OK, Leo, Let's Ask James Cameron, Shall We?

However, despite the Paul Thomas Anderson's political thriller winning rave reviews and hailed as a 'masterpiece' by critics, when it came to the box office, it received a much more lukewarm reception.

Critics aren't always right. If you can't hook the audience, you're done for;you can't spend rave reviews. 

While it took in an impressive $204.7 million globally, according to Variety the film needed to make around $300 million in order to breakeven, due to its staggeringly high budget - reportedly $175 million - and significant marketing costs.

High budget and marketing costs? James Cameron laughs at these being any kind of obstacle to box office success. And confounds the critics. Long may he continue! Going to watch 'Avatar: Fire And Ash' on the Monday before Christmas was the highlight of the year for me.

I Think The Democrats Have Finally Made The Fatal Misstep We've Been Expecting...

...ever since this whole ICE thing started up. I've been expecting someone to go too far and get themselves shot, but I wasn't expecting it to be a white liberal lesbisn mother of three.

 

Maybe I should have...

Video from the scene showed Good apparently ignoring ICE agents' demands to get out of her car, and instead reversing her vehicle as she tried to drive off. The video began with the victim blocking the road with her car until ICE agents told her to move away. She then reversed to head back down the road as an agent tried to open its driver-side door handle before she drove off.

Extraordinarily, Democrat politicians are trying to blame the agents who neglected to be run over, rather than the idiot who decided to try to kill him. Actually, that's not really that extraordinary, when you stop to think about it.  

Mayor Jacob Frey claimed DHS was trying 'to spin this as an act of self-defense.' 'This is bulls**t,' he said at a press conference. 'I have a message for our community, our city, and ICE - to ICE, get the f**k out of Minneapolis.' 'We do not want you here. Your stated reason for being in this city is safety and you are doing exactly the opposite.'

They are there to do the job your state has failed to do because like so many Democrat mayors, you've fotgotten who you are there to serve; the citizens, not the illegals.  

Frey highlighted how 'people are being hurt' and 'families are being ripped apart' by immigration officials. 'Long-term Minneapolis residents that have contributed so greatly to our city, to our culture, to our economy, are being terrorized and now somebody is dead. That's on you - and it's also on you to leave,' he said.

Meanwhile, Governor Tim Walz asked his citizens to 'remain calm' as he slammed DHS' narrative as 'propaganda.' 'The state will ensure there is a full, fair, and expeditious investigation to ensure accountability and justice,' he wrote on Twitter. 'Don't believe this propaganda machine.'

Yes, Reader, this Tim Waltz. We can see what the Somalis infesting Minnesota have contributed - massive organised tax fraud on an industrial scale. 

'We have soldiers in training and prepared to be deployed if necessary,' he said. 'They are teachers in your community, they're business owners, they're construction professionals, they are Minnesotans. 'Minnesota will not allow our community to be used as a prop in a national political fight. We will not take the bait.'

They are nothing of the sort, and you just swallowed the bait hook, line and sinker.  

'What we're seeing is the consequences of governance designed to generate fear, headlines and conflict.'

No, we are seeing that when confronted, you have no answers. And now even the MSM is realising that.  The President's PR machine has swung into action and is blasting the ball right into the undefenced goal:

She later confirmed ICE operations are still underway in Minnesota in spite of the controversy. 

Vice President JD Vance said agents were going to 'work even harder' after the woman was shot. 

'I want every ICE officer to know that their president, vice president, and the entire administration stands behind them,' he said.

How refreshing to see leaders standing up for their people and the law and not reflexively cowering before Leftie rage! 

This Needs To Stop...

Calls to leave the ECHR will double after this, and no wonder:

A double murderer who took a prison officer hostage and demanded the release of hate preacher Abu Qatada has been awarded a £240k taxpayer-funded payout. Fuad Awale was transferred to a special separation unit for dangerous convicts after he and another convict ambushed a jail worker and threatened to kill him. Awale used Article 8 of the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR) to claim his segregation - designed to prevent him harming officers and radicalising inmates - had breached his right to life.

What Home Sec would be idiot enough not to appeal thi... 

David Lammy, the Justice Secretary, has now agreed to pay £7,500 compensation and £234,000 legal costs after the convicted killer stated he had suffered 'severe depression'.

Oh. Of course. I forgot. 

The High Court has ruled in favour of Awale's appeal to the ECHR, with a judge saying there had been a 'significant degree of interference with the claimant's private life', The Telegraph reports.

I know what you’re going to say, Reader, ‘who was the judge?’ It was, of course, the judge who let Harvey Willgoose's murderer go free early, Justice Naomi Ellenbogan!

Robert Jenrick, Conservative shadow justice secretary, has branded the decision a 'sick joke'. He said: 'Labour are cowing to terrorists and the human rights brigade. They must introduce emergency legislation to carve these monsters out of the ECHR immediately. If they don't, we will as soon as Parliament returns.'

Now, it's being reported on Twitter that he'll 'only' see about £7k of that, the rest going to the bloodsucking leeches  lawyers acting for him. But even that's too damn much! And yes, I get my news from Twitter now, and will do, until the MSM starts doing its job properly.
