Corporate heavyweights have been put on notice by the ACCC which has announced a sweeping crackdown on misleading and manipulative businesses. Supermarkets and online retailers from China are the target as the competition watchdog looks to restore consumer trust. @Georgia3Holland

Two men arrested after mass stabbing on LNER train at Huntingdon. Attack at 19:30, emergency stop 19:44. Multiple passengers slashed, blood on floors, passengers barricaded in toilets. One guard critical. Three air ambulances. Over 30 armed officers. One suspect tasered, one shot. Two men, mid-twenties, one described by witnesses as a black male in all-black clothing, rose in the standard-class carriages, produced large kitchen knives, and began a methodical slaughter. Passengers fled to the vestibules and toilets, barricading doors one man collapsed onto Huntingdon Platform 1 as the emergency brake bit at 19:44, gasping β€œThey’ve got a knife, I’ve been stabbed.” A guard who tried to intervene is critical. British Transport Police received the first 999 at 19:39. Within nine minutes more than thirty armed officers stormed the train: tasers cracked, one suspect dropped centre-mass with a 9 mm round. Both are in custody at Parkside. No names, no charges, no motiveβ€”yet the pattern is unmistakable. This is the third mass-knife attack on British soil in ninety days: Southport’s child-murder, Manchester’s synagogue siege, now a commuter express turned charnel house. All three executed on soft civilian targets by individuals who should never have set foot on these islands. dinghy-divers, visa-overstayers, asylum fabricators ferried across the Channel on the taxpayer’s tab. The pattern is not coincidence; it is statistical certainty, the inevitable harvest of forty years’ open-door dogma. No names, no motive, no surprise. Third mass-knife attack in ninety days. All on soft English targets. All from the migrant pipeline. Borders open. Knives apparently legal and readily available for these scum, and once again it’s the Natives bleeding.

Don’t get spookedβ€”here’s how to spot & avoid them; writes Gary Mortimer Read here: theaustraliatoday.com.au/are… 1️⃣ Too good to be true prices β€’ Silk dress β€œ60% off” at $82? Check the regular markdown logic. β€’ Leather jackets under $20? Guaranteed flimsy or never arrive. 2️⃣ β€œLocal” but no address β€’ Claims to be in Melbourne, Byron Bay, Double Bay…but no phone number or street address. β€’ Google Maps shows nothing? 🚩 3️⃣ .com (not .com.au) β€’ Legit Aussie shops use β€œ.com.au” domains. 4️⃣ No ABN β€’ Pop the business name into ABN Lookupβ€”no listing = scam alert. 5️⃣ Overly glowing β€œreviews” β€’ Real sites have mixed feedback on #Trustpilot. Ghost stores only show 5-star raves on their own site. 6️⃣ #AI-generated faces β€’ Right-click β€œHarry – Melbourne, artisan watchmaker” pic β†’ reverse image search = AI model. 7️⃣ Urgent β€œclosing down sale” β€’ β€œEnds tonight!” βœ… #FOMO scam β€” don’t rush. πŸ›‘οΈ Stay safe: β€’ Always research before you buy. β€’ Look for a physical address & ABN. β€’ Read independent reviews. β€’ Trust your gut: if it feels off, walk away.
