A 72 year old man in Cumbria was attacked on Monday walking through the park. Dog walkers phoned the ambulance and police. The police said they were busy and the ambulance took an hour. He had broken rips 2 fractures to his leg and a broken eye socket. The attacker was black...

My dear Stephen,
How lovely to see you marking the sixtieth. One of the darkest days in our history, etched in the memory of the nation, a community of such strength. All true. And all of it happening to somebody else.
Here is the part your tribute left in the drawer. The tribunal found the Coal Board wholly to blame and said the disaster "could and should have been prevented". The Coal Board then demanded £250,000 from the disaster fund to clear the tip that killed them. The fund, raised by public donation for the families, handed over £150,000.
Your party's government applied the pressure, in secret. George Thomas objected, then folded, and leaned on the trustees until they folded too. The Charity Commission sat on its hands. Nobody was prosecuted.
It took thirty years to give it back. In July 1997 Ron Davies, your party's first Welsh Secretary of that spell, returned the £150,000 without interest and without inflation, and conceded the demand should never have been made.
So yes. Remembering is lovely. Your lot billed the bereaved for clearing the mine's own tip.
Twenty three likes. Five retweets. And looking more like your father every year.
Do carry on, pet.

🚨 THE STAGGERING DAMAGE LABOUR INFLICTED ON GREAT BRITAIN IN JUST SEVEN DAYS!
I need every taxpayer to look at the absolute trail of destruction Burnham and his cabinet left behind over the past week alone.
While working families struggle to pay their bills, the Westminster establishment has been busy dismantling our country piece by piece:
*The Ministry of Justice paused tougher life sentences for child rapists just to save 350 prison beds, right after releasing hundreds of convicted criminals onto our streets.
*Burnham openly floated a second Brexit referendum on television and confirmed that dragging Great Britain back into the European Union is firmly on the table.
*Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy backed a disgraceful plan to force every household to pay a mandatory BBC tax on their broadband bills even if they do not own a television.
*Nature Minister Jenny Riddell Carpenter publicly smeared traditional British country pubs, pints of ale, and pet black labradors as a dangerous far right fantasy.
*Shabana Mahmood approved blowing 250 million pounds to dump a massive migrant compound into the tiny Oxfordshire village of Piddington while British veterans sleep rough.
*Justice Minister Jake Richards went on BBC Question Time and deliberately refused to commit to stopping the small boats until the studio audience groaned in absolute disgust.
These out of touch socialists are treating our nation like a radical ideological playground and bleeding the domestic working class dry to pay for it!
I am sick to death of watching arrogant politicians destroy the country my grandparents built!!
Retweet this immediately to expose the disastrous reality of this government to every single voter before they do any more damage. 🇬🇧🔥

I’d love for every single person who supports me to quote post the post below
Not for me but for the uk
I honestly believe it could turn the tide of the conversation and wake up the sleeping masses of the uk
A child left behind, injured in the water, while his father gets onto the boat and leaves French lifeguards to save him.
What kind of father does that?
Crashing waves. Chaos. A child struggling in the water, while his own father boards the boat rather than staying to protect him.
I believe scenes like this expose the failures surrounding these crossings, from the charities involved, to the actions of the French authorities, to the decisions being made by the British Government.
People are becoming increasingly angry about what they are seeing.
I genuinely fear that if confidence in the authorities continues to collapse, some people will eventually try to take matters into their own hands.
To be absolutely clear, I am not condoning, encouraging or supporting violence in any way, shape or form.

650 MPs sit in Parliament each scratching their heads and arses clueless to the demise of Britain. If we don't talk about the invasion maybe it will go away.
You are responsible for this mess. This is our home handed down to us by our ancestors.
Make Britain great again 🇬🇧

The woman who was pushed over a barrier by police yesterday has a brain injury. The same police force who let Henry Nowak die. Ask yourself who are the thugs? I pray for a full recovery for the young woman 🙏

I lock my front door at night.Not because I hate the people outside.
But because I love the people inside.
That's kinda how I feel about our border.
For all those people who no longer want to donate to Macmillan charity as they are now woke..
Why not phone your local hospice ask what they need, get some friends together to buy it. This way you get to see where your money goes. Funding has been cut and they are taxed 40%

As an ex Glasgow Firey I’m not going to comment on the fire last night. I wasn’t there and don’t know any of the details. All I will say is that it is another travisty. Another iconic Glasgow building gone.
I retired in 2014. I took an option that meant due to my age I could retire after 25 years service. Now, you may ask why I would do that, considering I was only five years off my full lump sum and pension?
Well, in those 25 years the job that I loved changed dramatically and not for the better.
The turning point was the 2002 dispute, a career low, led by radical union reps that destroyed the structure of the British Fire Service as it existed.
We went from a service led, performance rewarding professional organisation to an HR dominated, chronyistic, risk averse organisation almost over night. By 2014 I could not stand going into work. As a watch commander my days were dominated in box ticking exercises and petty disputes all fuelled by WOKE agenda. Worse than that, I was regularly attending shouts where over promoted senior officers with little actual firefighting experience would turn up, countermand firefighting tactics already in place only to watch a building burn to the ground.
Whenever I confronted these frankly negligent decisions I was overridden and on more than one occasion reprimanded.
At that time, SFRS still had 1000’s of superb firefighters, but most had been by passed for promotion by the ‘New’ firefighters, who were great on computers, female, gay, other, didn’t rock the boat and could write a blinding CV.
When I joined in 1989 there were just 5 people in Personal. One senior officer and four civilians. By the time I left there was one HR staff for every 5 firefighters out of 2500!
In the end, I couldn’t justify staying. Guys were dying of heart attacks on night shift, dozens off with ilness and work related stress and every other e mail was a funeral notification for a recently retired colleague. More importantly the bullshit was effecting my mental health.
At the time I handed in my resignation no one else (to my knowledge) in Strathclyde had ever done it before. Suddenly I start getting visits from the head shed asking why! Why would I go now? I just laughed and told them I was going before I got sacked.
I have never felt relief like I did the day I left, not even when I left Afghan with all my bits still attached!
It’s the best decision I have ever made, proving that quality of life is more important than money. You cannot take it with you!
I feel sorry for the guys and girls on the ground now, I know a lot of great people still serving and morale is rock bottom.
In the end and I’m talking specifically about Scotland now, the SNP have ruined the Fire Service. Amalgamating all the regions into the Scottish FireandRescue Service gave them all the power. You get one person in charge and make sure they are your guy. The Union are less than useless
Preferring to focus on gay- trans rights in the place of conditions and manning, I’m just glad I’m out of it all.
I get that I probably come across like a bitter, un pc old dinosaur, but no one can tell me we are in a better place than we were 20 years ago, a time when courage and skill was more important than computers and skin colour.
Thanks for reading and have lovely , safe day. 🙏🇬🇧

All these posts from Labour MPs "honouring" our troops right after voting to throw NI vets under the bus make me feel physically sick.
