    Apparently UK defence is ready for attacks by Iranians taking revenge on air raids launched from bases in the UK . This is the day after a couple of paki invaders were sentenced for plotting to attack a military school in Swindon … they’d done their hostile reconnaissance… they were also looking to kill any IDF training in the UK …

    Seems like Government Nudge Unit still has power over Twitter.
    The Twitter new story should in a free world be followed by TRs viral tweet
    But instead it seems suppressed
    So that other people’s tweets appear at the top
    Then about 6 tweets down the list
    one tweet quotes TR
    Handcuffed Man Slammed to Ground by UK Officer in Viral Video
    Last updated 35 minutes ago
    The video, posted by activist Tommy Robinson, shows the man near a police van on Great Northern Street, wearing a white shirt, pink trousers, and white sneakers, with his hands cuffed behind his back. Robinson called it ‘anti-white two-tier policing,’ a view echoed by others questioning harsher treatment for white Britons and labeling the officer’s actions unprofessional. No details on the man’s arrest or offense have surfaced, and West Yorkshire Police has not commented. The footage highlights ongoing UK debates over policing standards amid recent riots and controversies.

      Stew – I think once they put that wanna be SAS stuff on plod becomes a para military – not ‘police ‘ – it’s gonna bite them really badly if they carry on like that – for instance – they’ll need to live is guarded compounds with their families… maybe the mosque will protect them …

    Employment for 2026…. “Influencer apologises for leaving bathtub on mountain”
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cnvnq2g1jjeo
    A content creator who took a bathtub up a mountain and left it there has apologised for what he called an “honest mistake”.

    “I obviously didn’t mistakenly leave it up there, I didn’t forget. It was a mistake in the fact I thought I was doing the right thing with people telling me it was ‘awesome’ and ‘cool’.

      Having walked up Pen Y Fan many times … i dont consider it a great feat … I’ve seen a girl push a kid in a push chair up there …. A lot has been done to make it accessible – spoiling it – in my view … but when the weather is bad – it’s bad … as for the kidult with the bath tub – he should be billed for removal …

    It appears the new appointed rockstar PM thinks it is a great idea for his first action to duplicate Londons Parliament in Manchester.

    Doesn’t sound much like cost-saving efficiency to me, smacks more of personal aggrandisement in my eyes!
