A migrant who sexually assaulted a woman was gently arrested tonight. Guess who the UK police decided to beat up.

A couple of years of a Labour government and here we are again. In the 70s it was the Unions, this time it's net zero bullshit and out of control welfare spending. Rise in sales of radios and tinned foods, say retailers, after call to stock up - BBC News bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5rm…

I live in Gosport. Gosport is a Naval town and a lot of the local Weatherspoons customers are ex Navy, or people who have friends and relatives that have served in the Navy. This was was a huge mistake. I won't be using the place until a full and public apology is issued.
I’ve never seen this happen before. A Wetherspoons in Gosport didn’t allow them in because they were wearing Remembrance poppies since it "could be political." That is nonsense. The remembrance poppy is a well known apolitical symbol. Not right at all.

Astounding Sunday Times investigation reveals new scandal in SNP’s Socialist Scotland: 800 NHS, central government, council and quango workers whose jobs no longer exist but remain on the public payroll because of the SNP’s ‘no public-sector redundancy’ policy. Estimated cost of paying people to do nothing: £27m a year. One NHS Highland worker has been receiving a full salary and benefits for 17 years despite not having a specific job. The health board refused to say what the worker had been doing for almost two decades and how much they had been paid. Likely cost to the taxpayer is expected to be far higher with several public bodies refusing to disclose salaries for hundreds of the workers awaiting redeployment.

Surely not true?
VETERANS wearing a Poppy are BANNED from from Wetherspoons WOW. Manager of Gosport Wetherspoons states it’s ‘Company policy’ to not allow anyone in with a Remembrance Poppy on as it ‘could be political’ I can’t believe what I just heard from our nations biggest pub chain. Veterans wearing a poppy are banned from Wetherspoons.

Poppies. A symbol of remembrance. Nothing remotely political. Don’t want to wear one? Then don’t. Put don’t penalise those who do. This is peak absurdity.
This is mad. No poppies in a pub?! George is joining me at 9.45pm on @GBNEWS to talk through the incident.

When Reform's letters to postal voters in Portsmouth were ready to go out, two undercover ITV reporters were personally responsible for almost two hundred of them in the ward of Drayton and Farlington. Reform lost Drayton and Farlington by 24 votes. The same two men were responsible for delivering leaflets to half the ward of Baffins. Reform lost Baffins by 85 votes. These were men whose purpose was to infiltrate Reform UK and damage it. In two wards decided by a few dozen votes, we believe there are reasonable grounds to conclude that ITV altered the result of British elections. There is no precedent for this. It is certainly not journalism. We believe it to be criminal. We will hold ITV and its activists to account.

As many of us have suspected for a very long time
It has been revealed that 39 civil servants have ben sent to the BBC, C4 & ITV to help write & advise on contentious news items such as Channel boat crossings, "climate change" & the COVID pandemic. The govt tries to control the narrative.
