Hmm 🤔
In 2020 Sky News reported Jools Oliver saying that she’d had ‘20 exciting, happy, fun wonderful years married to Jamie’.
Now she’s claiming she’s had 45 years of ruined life because she didn’t have an ADHD diagnosis.🤷♀️
It seems to me that this diagnosis is a very negative thing if it’s made her change her view of her lot so dramatically.

Too right, our Shabana! Henry Nowak's family are in your thoughts as the killer's mum gets early release after serving a pitiful sentence for hiding the murder weapon.
Care about the Nowak family? I don't think you do, mate.
Henry Nowak was just 18 years old, with his whole life ahead of him. His murder was a horrific and senseless crime, and my thoughts remain with his family and friends, who have endured unimaginable loss and heartbreak.
The Nowak family have shown extraordinary courage and dignity in their pursuit of answers. Henry’s case has raised serious and legitimate questions about whether more could have been done to prevent this tragedy, and about the response of public authorities in its aftermath.
An independent review will seek those answers.
I am grateful to Alex Chalk for agreeing to lead this important work. He brings considerable experience and expertise, and I know he will conduct the review with the rigour, independence and seriousness that Henry’s case demands.

We can return boat migrants now.
It requires a few legal changes, or declaring the National Emergency this so obviously is, then it's done.
Labour don't want to.
“The reason the small boat crisis has arisen is we can’t return people and we have people knowing we can’t.”
The Prime Minister has argued that the arrival of around 213,000 illegal migrants across the Channel was a consequence of Britain leaving the EU.
Small boat crossings were first detected at the end of January 2018, two years before Britain left the EU. The Conservative government at the time declared the situation a “major incident” ⤵️

"War is a place where young people who don't know each other and don't hate each other but kill each other based on decisions made by people who know each other and hate each other but don't kill each other."
‘I am utterly DISGUSTED by your rampant, pathetic cowardice.’

I miss those days, I left primary school in 1976. We grew bulbs for Christmas and Spring, Amaryllis and Daffodils, we brought in tins for harvest festival. We had one teacher each year, one who would read to us from a book for at least one lesson period. We knew that they focused on our education, what truly mattered, nothing more. One of our PE lessons was Morris Dancing, we enjoyed the madness of that. We enjoyed the Nativity, it was a pleasure to be picked to be in it.

The year is 1970 and the place is Britain 🇬🇧
And these children are learning basic reading, writing and arithmetic skills.
Global warming isn't on the agenda.
They're not being told that a man can become a woman.
Christianity, they're told, is the bedrock of British religion.
Their Christmas nativity play will not be modernised to appease certain minorities.
They will sing hymns at assembly and recite Christian prayers.
They will not be subjected to anti-British propaganda.
Amen 🙏

We live in a world where literal terrorists are granted bail but dare to throw an empty plastic bottle on the floor and it's straight to prison for you.
We live in truly terrifying times.

Police officers in Bracknell, England, visited Bracknell Mosque for an educational session about Islam and Muslim culture, aiming to strengthen ties with the local Muslim community.
Organised by PCSO Molenda and a local imam, the visit included observing prayers, touring the mosque and attending a presentation about Islam.
Community members also provided refreshments.
Thames Valley Police said learning about different faiths and traditions helps build trust between officers and residents, supporting safer and more inclusive communities.

Muslimscome under the same British laws as every one else so why do police need educating about Islam and it's laws???

This is only acceptable (barely) when it's a 2-way street.
When tolerance only works one way, get rid of it.

I wonder if ethnic Police officers in Bracknell, will visit a Church for an educational session about Christianity and Christian culture?
No, thought not.

It honestly feels like the entire planet has been shoved into a washing machine, someone’s put it on spin cycle and nobody can find the fucking off switch.

I have never seen a government bring in so many laws that fundamentally and drastically change the country. It feels like they are rushing things through as fast as they can so we don't get a chance to fight them. We are descending into tyranny at an alarming speed.

The Courts and Tribunals Bill goes before peers in the House of Lords today, and the Prime Minister is expected to face a rebellion from Labour peers.
Good.
This Government, like Sir Keir Starmer’s, is pressing ahead with plans to curtail our right to a jury trial.
It is a sinister, authoritarian assault on our criminal justice system and English liberty — particularly on free speech.
FSU research has shown that people charged with speech offences are almost twice as likely to be found not guilty in a Crown Court with a jury than in a magistrates’ court without one. Put simply, more people could be banged up for exercising their right to free speech.
