Well done young man.👏👏👏👏
He was walking home from an evening fishing trip along the canal in Knottingley, England when 13-year-old Connor West noticed a man hidden in the bushes, fixed on a woman walking her dog alone.
Something about it felt wrong.
Rather than walk on, Connor went straight to the woman. He quietly told her about the figure in the undergrowth.
Then he walked beside her the whole way to her front door, making sure she got home safe.
He never even gave her his name.
The next morning, still shaken and grateful, the woman turned to local Facebook groups, trying to find the mystery boy who had looked out for her.
Connor's father, Chris, spotted the post and recognized his own son.
When he shared how proud he was, the story took off. It has now reached more than 3.1 million people.
Chris praised the calm his son showed, the instinct to steady the situation rather than let it turn into something worse.
"It's shown a great deal of maturity and courage for his age."
Then came one more thing that stopped people in their tracks.
Touched strangers wanted to collect money to reward Connor. The boy turned it down. He asked that every penny go instead to the Pontefract and Knottingley Foodbank, with winter coming.
His father admitted he is not sure he would have made that choice at 13.
"Every credit to him. It's unbelievable just how noble he is, and selfless."
A boy walked a frightened stranger home and asked for nothing. Then, given the chance to be rewarded, he handed it to families who will need it most this winter.

Clearly forgetting the Andrew Sachs scandal, a myriad of sexual rumours and his sacking from the BBC.
Dreadful woman.

Lucy Powell will never politically recover from the dog whistle comments.
Every time Labour roll her out for an interview it's instantly what I think about.

Aye right ‘Oh that old dog whistle again ‘ Lucy Powell who despises vulnerable white working class girls that have been raped, tortured & trafficked throughout the whole of the U.K. at the hands of Pakistani rape gangs?. That one?
J retweeted
Pity she wasn’t quite as robust along with her @UKLabour MP colleagues ..
when it came to them voting against an Independent Public Inquiry on Rape gangs !!
which @KemiBadenoch pushed @Conservatives btw !!
Not forgetting her accusation of ‘dog whistle’ politics when this issue of the victims was raised in an interview she was involved in !
Talk about amnesia..

Asked about her role in setting up an interview between Ed Miliband & Russell Brand in 2015, Powell says she has a very low threshold for men who use their power to abuse women
Reid points out he'd already been sacked by the BBC at that point.
Powell becomes visibly irritated.

Let’s break down what Maggie Oliver is doing in the High Court today. Taxpayers funded a seven-year inquiry into child sexual abuse, costing over £200 million. Survivors relived their trauma, institutional failures were exposed and 20 recommendations were made to protect children.
And the Government’s defence? That it is not legally obliged to implement those recommendations. So we pay for public inquiries, victims suffer all over again, and governments can simply choose not to act. What is the point of an inquiry if its findings can be ignored?

🚨 Another Twelve men from Kirklees (mostly Batley) arrested over the alleged rape, sexual assault and trafficking of a girl aged 14–16 between 2006 and 2009. All interviewed, all released on bail. No names published.
Funny how that works. When it’s a lone white bloke the name and photo are out before the ink’s dry. When it’s a dozen men from the same postcodes, same pattern, same years as every other West Yorkshire “historic” grooming case, the press suddenly develops a profound respect for the principle of “innocent until proven guilty.”
We all know why.

Reform's deputy leader in Scotland, Thomas Kerr, says burkas are a "security risk" and "extremely intimidating". 🇬🇧
He says niqabs and burkas shouldn't be allowed in public in what he calls a "Christian nation".
France, Denmark, Belgium and Austria have already banned full face coverings in public. So why is it so controversial to even talk about it here?
In a free, open society we should be able to see each other's faces.
Is he right? Should Britain ban them? 👇

Andy Burnham is prepared to sink the British fishing industry.
A leaked draft for the 20 November UK-EU summit “welcomes” European boats retaining full access to British waters until 2038, with no better deal for our fishermen.
British fishermen were promised control of our waters but coastal communities are being treated as a bargaining chip yet again!
To help foreigners and harm Brits as always, Labour is willing to surrender control of our waters to the failing EU.
J retweeted
This is a MUST watch. @CeeMacBee has studied Labour's leaked EU "reset" deal and it's a surrender!
"It's written in the past tense. Everything's been decided"
"Andy Burnham is a patsy who was dropped into a safe Labour seat to take the UK under EU control"
This is a BETRAYAL!

I made a direct offer to Andy Burnham’s Labour Government…
Buy The Bell Hotel in Epping
( it’s for sale at £4 million - and it’s empty ) … put homeless veterans in there and myself and other locals will donate our time to help out.
Deal @andyburnham ?

More Net Zero chaos from Labour...
Andy Burnham has sent his Attorney General to an international court to fight for oil drilling rights off the Falklands.
Meanwhile his new Bill bans new exploration off the UK coast.
Defending British oil thousands of miles away while killing it on our very doorstep in the North Sea.
You just couldn’t make up how backwards this Labour government truly is!
