The full advert the BBC has put out on TV is now supplemented by a radio version of the advert . Some say this is having the reverse result of the intention – namely more people cancelling their TV Licence – with that money- £180 – used on the state created ‘cost of living crisis ‘. Let’s hope …

      PC Harper’s killers ‘are set for an early release under Labour’s plans to tackle prison overcrowding

      ————————

      Two men who killed PC Andrew Harper by dragging him behind a car for more than a mile are set for early release under Labour’s plan to tackle prison overcrowding.

      Albert Bowes and Jessie Cole, jailed for 13 years in 2020 for Harper’s manslaughter, will be eligible to walk free after serving just half their sentences under the government’s early release scheme.

      The pair, both 17 at the time, were passengers in the car that dragged Harper along the tarmac after his ankles got caught in their towrope.

      The police officer, who was 28, encountered the group near Sulhamstead, Berkshire, in August 2019 while investigating the theft of a quadbike.

      When they tried to escape in a car driven by the third killer, Henry Long, they accidentally ensnared PC Harper, pulling him down the road and inflicting fatal injuries. Long is not eligible for early release.

      PC Harper was dragged at 42mph, tearing nearly all of his uniform off. By the time he came free, his body was so battered that one of the people who found it thought he was a deer carcass.

      Debbie Adlam, the PC’s mother, has now been told by the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) that her son’s killers’ sentences may be reduced.

      The letter admitted the news ‘may be difficult’ given ‘the lasting impact the offence may have had on you’.

      Ms Adlam said the update was an ‘insult beyond anything able to be put into words’.

      She told The Telegraph: ‘It makes me feel sick. Andrew’s life doesn’t get to come back. It feels like a slap in the face and an insult.

      People are getting a free pass for crime in this country. I like to try to be proud of my country, but this isn’t something to be proud of. There’s a lot going wrong.’

      It is unclear exactly when Bowes and Cole will become eligible for release, but it is understood it could be by the end of the year.

      The pair are among thousands of criminals set to benefit from Labour’s Sentencing Act, part of a long-term plan to reduce the prison population.

      From September, it will allow violent and sexual offenders to be released after serving just half their sentence, rather than the current two-thirds.

      Other offenders could be freed after serving just a third of the punishment imposed by a court if they demonstrate good behaviour while in jail.

      Murderers will not be considered because they are given a mandatory life term, with a minimum number of years they must serve.

      Long is not eligible for early release under the scheme, but will be able to seek parole after half his sentence.

      Ellie Reeves, now the Attorney General, told MPs in 2022: ‘It is right that emergency service workers who put themselves at risk to keep the rest of us safe are protected by the strongest shield that the criminal justice system can provide.’

          Cranebridgeshire still guilty of hope awaiting a prosecution of the brutal murderers of the Cottenham postman years ago. A ‘man’ was stopped at a ferry port to Ireland with the blood of the murdered man still on the toe-cap of his boots – but still no prosecution.

          Funny that.

          But the Cranebridgeshite w@nker cops are able to send at an instant an armed police response team to arrest the Norfolk farmer (and multiple burglary victim) Tony Martin. Then the home office quickly arranged a show trial complete with ‘grief-stricken’ ‘relatives’ in the ticket-only audience.

          Now we currently enjoy a plague of Post Office takeaways.

      How Qatar bought up Britain
      This article is more than 3 years old
      As the world’s attention turns to the emirate for the World Cup, an Observer investigation reveals that it and its ruling family have amassed a £10bn property empire
      https://www.theguardian.com/business/ng-interactive/2022/nov/05/how-qatar-bought-up-britain

      “For Johnson, then mayor of London, the unseasonably cold July day in 2012 symbolised London’s resurgence after the devastation of the global financial crisis.

      Prince Andrew marked the occasion by abseiling down a section of the 310-metre tower for charity, saying afterwards that he had easily overcome the “psychobabble” about fear of heights.”

      Qatar – a British protectorate from 1916 to 1971 – was deploying its vast oil-and-gas wealth to buy huge chunks of the nation that once ruled over it.

    When President Trump was elected for his second term I was confident that those responsible for the Russia hoax in his first term and for the false flag Capitol Riots , would be brought to justice.18 months later no one is in the dock for either crime. It looks as though they are going to get away with these enormous crimes against American democracy.
    It seems that in the USA the deep state can protect its operatives from justice even when the President and a dedicated and loyal team team go after them. The ultimate in two tier justice.
    Is there anywhere where democracy is actually working? Has it been captured by liberal Globalists everywhere? Can ordinary voters ever wrest back control through the ballot box?

      “More than half of the cost of the investigation was for personnel compensation and benefits.”

      The Robert Mueller special counsel investigation was a criminal investigation into associates of 45th U.S. president Donald Trump and Russian president Vladimir Putin regarding Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections and was conducted by special prosecutor Robert Mueller from May 2017 to March 2019. It was also called the Russia investigation, Mueller probe, and Mueller investigation.[1][2]

      The investigation focused on four points:

      Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections
      Trump associates and their connection to Russian officials and espionage
      Possible obstruction of justice by Trump and his associates
      Potential “conspiracy” or “coordination” between the Trump campaign and Russia

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mueller_special_counsel_investigation

      By December 2018, the investigation had cost approximately $32 million[147] but gained approximately $48 million.[148] More than half of the cost of the investigation was for personnel compensation and benefits. The gains were accrued primarily by uncovering unpaid taxes by targets in the investigation, seizing assets, and collecting fines.[149]

      Any justice has to be very carefully applied – the evidence has to be stark, self evident even – what’s being exposed presently is that self evident stuff – the preparation has to be meticulous

      There’s quite a lot of history (pre DJT) that indicates if every T and I aren’t crossed and dotted and stars don’t align any effort might spin out / be deflected.

      The perpetrators protection plan is hugely assisted by the hiding of evidence from the public space by the client lickspittles in the MSM – I’ve seen documents shared that make it (imho) open and shut case – but we’ve seen that before and the deep state has got a compliant judge to say : guilty! you are sentenced to three strokes of a two week old lettuce.

    “We must do our best at home and abroad to resist the worst of Trumpism… These are dark days for America and the world. There can be little solace right now.” – Ed Miliband

    In 2017, he (Miliband) said Mr Trump had “lowered the bar for idiocy” and later joined a Stop Trump March in London. He (Miliband) also criticised the president’s “incredibly peculiar relationship with Russia” and accused him of lowering standards in politics.

    The new foreign secretary has also described Mr Trump’s criticism on social media of the UK’s stance on drilling for oil and gas as “irrelevant”

    “Ed Miliband is known in Washington for all the wrong reasons. Ed Miliband is seen as an unreasonable ‘nut zero’ extremist who blocked North Sea oil production but was happy for the UK to purchase Norway’s fossil fuels from the North Sea.”

    Melanie Phillips writes:
    A politician who gets it
    Marco Rubio’s blistering speech identified the rot undermining the west

    In twenty electrifying minutes last week, America’s Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, dragged into the spotlight a critical and yet largely unacknowledged factor behind the suicidal trajectory of the west.

    His speech opened an international conference in Washington DC on “the resurgence of political terrorism”.

    For the past quarter of a century, said Rubio, counter-terrorism had meant the fight against radical Islamist extremism. While that had been brought under a measure of control, the blind spot now was over terrorism by the far- left.

    At the beginning of this month, he said, a 72-year-old woman in Greece was murdered by a firebomb in her apartment because her daughter had stood as a parliamentary candidate for the conservative New Democracy party.

    In January, an arson attack on the Berlin power grid, reportedly by militant leftists, cut off power for tens of thousands over five days of freezing temperatures which left an 83 year-old woman dead.

    One month later, a 23-year-old far-right French activist was beaten to death on the streets of Lyon by a group of far-left assailants.

    As Rubio noted, the far-left dominated political violence for most of the modern era. The German Baader-Meinhof gang, the Italian Red Brigades terrorists, the Maoist fanatics of Peru’s Shining Path, the American Weather Underground and many others caused 93 per cent of terrorist attacks in the West between 1970 and 1980.

    Now, far-left terrorism is again on the rise and is even more lethal in scale and scope.

    In Germany, it jumped last year by more than 40 per cent. In Greece, more than 80 per cent of radical violence is now driven by far-left and anarchist groups.

    A report last September by the US Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) said that 2025 was shaping up to be the American left’s most violent year in more than three decades…”

    Day One: –
    New PM, plotted for a shoo-in years ago. says something or other without notes.

    Day two: –
    Chuck a few silly new texts around about two quid buses and a couple of pence off energy bills, but make the big one the early release of the two murderers who brutally killed PC Harper.

    Day three: – Binbags says he’ll instruct the ‘justice secretary’ to look into the case.

    Tomorrow: – Early release of the murderers is denied. Binbags says something banal like a victory for common sense etc etc etc.

    Spinned out. bBC ecstatic and making several programmes on ‘justice’, white privilege, travellers’ privilege, – yawn…

      “Gaza Family of 18 Granted Entry to the UK Following Human Rights Appeal

      A family of 18 from Gaza has reportedly been granted permission to enter the UK following a successful human rights appeal.

      The case concerned a woman already living in the UK with her three children. She sought to bring members of her extended family, including her parents, siblings, their spouses and children, to the UK because of the severe humanitarian conditions in Gaza and the impact of the separation on her and her children.

      The Home Office initially refused the applications. However, the Tribunal found that continued refusal would have consequences of such seriousness for the UK-based sponsor and her children that the interference with their right to family life under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights would be unjustifiably harsh.”

    If the Establishment’s plan was to obfuscate the Widdecombe murder into oblivion, it’s backfired spectacularly: today, every single tabloid carries the front-page headline: “Ann hit 21 times with hammer”.

    (But not, of course, the left-wing Times and BBC. They protect their own.)

    All the woke authorities have succeeded in doing is exposing their agenda to the world: cover up left-wing political violence at all costs.

    I’ve just watched episode 1 of The Dark on itv catch up.

    Why do they think it makes it better when they have awful screeching noisy ‘background’ sound effects all the way through.
    Maybe it worked once in the film Psycho about 60 years ago but it seems they’ve let the children loose on this series so that the racket going on all through it makes it unwatchable.

    I thought of switching the speakers off and using subtitles but decided it’s not worth the effort.
    Surely some grown ups on the production team would have seen this and noticed how the ‘background’ unpleasant noisy sound effects were ruining what may have started out as a decent watch.

    Maybe it’s one for the children to watch but it’s not for this oldy.

    “I was wondering to myself, “Who is Miatta Fahnbulleh” — Andy Burnham’s new Net Zero minister?

    So I found out.

    Much like Rep. Ilhan Omar in America, Miatta’s family actually worked for the government they later “fled.”

    They’re “Vai aristocrats” who have been involved in near every attempted govt overthrow in Liberia.

    Radical leftists, the family moved to Somerset in the 1980s after her father fell out with his boss, the nation’s leader, over Israel.

    Miatta and her brother Gamal (best known for my Sky News “sh*thole” interview with him) were raised in Britain, though most of the family considers Liberia or Sierra Leone their homes.

    Fahnbulleh’s grandfather was even charged with treason for cavorting with Chinese communists in the late 1960s.

    Miatta is just another in a long line of anti-Western, far leftists. And now she’s in charge of the government’s leading redistribution mechanism: net zero.” @RaheemKassam
