    ‘”Children send heartbreaking letters to Andy Burnham over migrant camp fears”

    Ver sad but did they send letters to the PM when other places were being stuffed with illegal immigrants? Or, as in every Lib Dem affluent area they only care if its not affecting them. I have some sympathy for the people of that village but maybe they should try voting for someone who will rid the whole country of this menace not just because it has started to affect them.

      He told the newspaper: “There has been, since I arrived at Cambridge, a very well orchestrated and co-ordinated campaign to unseat me from my position.”

      He suggested that this was “racially motivated” and that he had become a “lightning rod” for criticism of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policy.

    ‘It is with profound sadness that I write to resign, with immediate effect, from my position at the University of Cambridge and Jesus College.’

    The very responsible BBC is no doubt double checking its facts before reporting the devastating news that Professor Jason Arday has resigned his position….or maybe the BBC can’t see the keyboard for the tears being shed about their DEI hero.

    This is a big story not least because the police secretly investigated a journalist for 4 months because he dared to ask questions about Arday’s career and tried to warn him off.

    The BBC published a gushing report about Arday on his appointment as professor….but has been studiously silent as a barrage of accusations have been targeted at Arday. The BBC eventually slipped out a report but this was weighted in Arday’s favour of course and nothing more has been heard since despite that increasing torrent of accusations and suspicion.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c78gmp7zylvo

    As Arday announces his resignation just about every news outlet is reporting it…not the BBC.

    One explanation for the BBC’s reluctance might be that one of its ex-executives, Roger Mosey, was on the panel that deals with DEI issues and may have had a hand in promoting Arday’s blossoming career.

    Why is ‘cutting and pasting’ so prevalent in the lefty ‘armoury’?

    Don’t they actually read what their copying, or at least get an AI crowd to change it enough, to use it all as their own.

    We all know that the Graun and the bBC use the same computer fast-dial, and their mates in the US do the same, so the tiresome TDS, the anti-slavery nonsense, climate scams etc., can easily be used in all their stuff.

    ‘Sources say’ – ha ha ha ha ha ha…

    We’re so lucky that we can all decline paying the TV tax, ignore any of this claptrap – as we never see the rubbish -and use real news outlets with proper journalists writing real news.

    This is important.
    On an earlier thread I stated i thought that early prisoner release was discretionary rather than set out in legislation. I was wrong, I did a quick search and found the Sentencing Act 2026 meant automatic early release of certain prisoners. This would explain why PC Harper’s killers will be automatically released and why if they weren’t they would be able to legally challenge the decision and probably win with compensation. It explains why Burnham appears to be unable to do anything.
    The Sentencing Act 2026 was due to come into force in September but just when we think the matter is decided, Burnham’s has paused this pending review. So we can wonder if this legislation is valid or not, I assume Parliament has passed it so on what basis is it paused?

    What a bloody mess, created by Mastermind Lammy.

    Surely the way to have handled this would have been to make selection discretionary in some way without the use of defective, badly thought out legislation.

      “The changes made by the Sentencing Act 2026 will mean that prisoners serving the most common type of prison sentence (a fixed, standard determinate sentence) will be automatically released earlier than they would otherwise have been. The release point for these prisoners will move from 40% or half of their custodial term to one third for some prisoners and from two thirds to half for others. The changes were due to be brought into force from September 2026 but have been paused while the policy is reviewed.”

      There was talk of recalling their parliament because the law is due to come into force on sept 1 – but their parliament isn’t back until September 2 ….
      But presumably there’s some sort of constitutional trick to fiddle legislation – an ‘order in council ‘ or some prerogative … but whatever is done the Lammy Act was badly thought out – indeed – if it was ever thought through at all …

      I can’t see a deliberate intention to incur such rage / upset – even for Lammy and his crew – so the justice civil servants must just be nodding dogs doing their emperor s bidding ….

    Is parliament sovereign or not? I know the Sentencing Act 2026 is a stupid ill thought out law but it is the law. So how can the Police take legal action against the government for letting out the yobs who killed the PC?
    Even though it is one of the most stupid laws (like a lot of others) surely the only way to stop the nonsense is to repeal this law As I understand it, this has to be done in parliament when it is sitting Any other way would not be democratic.

    BBC trying to hide the nationality of a suspected killer.

    “The radio news bulletin was read on Sunday by Clare Runacres – a newsreader on BBC Radio 2, 5 Live and 6 Music – at 3.30pm, shortly after the arrest was first reported by British news agencies.

    She said: ‘Greek police say they’ve arrested a man in connection with the murder of a British woman whose body was found in a suitcase in Athens.

    ‘They’re questioning a 26-year-old Afghan man. The body of 38-year-old Elisabeth Ross was found in an abandoned building in the city last month.’

    But in a second bulletin on Radio 2 just half an hour later, this had been changed. Ms Runacres said: ‘Greek police investigating the murder of a 38-year-old Scottish woman found inside a suitcase have made an arrest.

    ‘Elisabeth-Jane Ross’ body was found in an abandoned building in Athens last month. Officials say they’ve arrested a 26-year-old foreign national in connection with her death.

    The term ‘foreign national’ was also used on 5 Live at the same time, while at 4.30pm on Radio 6 Music Ms Runacres informed listeners that Greek police were ‘questioning a 26-year-old foreign national’.”

      A classic example of what goes wrong when a government apply a plethora of outdated laws built upon even more outdated law. In my book, “outdated” refers in this context to laws built upon the intrinsic inclination of the indigenous British to adhere to the law. Outdated now, in that the intrinsic honesty, in the main, of the population is being replaced by imported chancers and utterly dishonest people that thrive on bending or completely ignoring the law.

      As in the Cambridge Professor, hero of the BBC, the academic idiots are no match for the unqualified ones with generic inbuilt low animal cunning who play the system. Al a, benefits etc. as well. But hey! we are footing the bill for all this.

      UK demands quality MPs…..

      “Oh, splendid. The fraud overseer has logged on.

      Miatta Fahnbulleh wants to lecture you about “community ownership.” Miatta. The woman who lost £44 million of your money. The woman whose ECO4 scheme triggered Serious Fraud Office raids. Four arrests. Ghost installations. Vulnerable families left with damaged homes while contractors pocketed taxpayer cash.

      She admitted “systemic failure” to Parliament. Her own words. After 30,000 homes were botched. After thousands of fraudulent claims were processed. After the damage was done.

      Then Burnham promoted her. Energy Secretary. The fraud overseer now oversees your entire energy supply.

      Her father served Liberian dictator Samuel Doe. Her brother is named after Nasser. Her grandfather was convicted of treason. She resigned in May to trigger Starmer’s collapse. Called for “orderly transition.” Six weeks later, Burnham rewarded her. The regicide gets the red box.

      She voted to strip winter fuel from pensioners in Peckham. One of London’s most deprived areas. Sixty-four thousand elderly in fuel poverty, represented by an MP who called the cut “tough” while drawing her ministerial salary.

      She is daughter of a dictator’s minister. She is the “heterodox economist” who rejects markets. She is the woman whose scheme triggered a £44 million fraud investigation.

      And she lectures you about power.

      Sit down, Miatta. The communities you destroyed have not forgotten.

      England deserves better than revolutionary cosplay.”

    Simon Baron-Cohen – a cognitive neuroscientist and fellow at Trinity College, Cambridge – raised concerns about the impact the media coverage was having on Arday… “This is relentless bullying of a vulnerable autistic man and raises safe-guarding issues. It’s time to stop.” (Vicky Wong, BBC)

    “Rupert Lowe MP

    A very aggressive hit piece on me has just been published in the Daily Telegraph by Allister Heath – labelling me ‘a deluded egotist who is toxifying British politics.’

    He gives three examples of why he is so horrified by Restore Britain’s presence.

    Number one. The fact I stated my concern around projections that ‘white Britons will become a minority by 2063’.

    No statistic greater demonstrates the astounding way mass immigration is changing our country. He calls Restore Britain’s worry around this ‘racism’ and ‘disgusting’.

    It should have ‘no place in mainstream politics’.

    It’s that attitude which has allowed our communities to transform in front of our very eyes over the last few decades.

    It’s not going to work on me.

    This brings us on to his second point.

    The fact that I highlight how parts of Manchester have essentially been colonised by Islamic populations.

    YES.

    I stand by every single word.

    Communities in places like Rochdale, Oldham, entire districts in Manchester itself.

    Replaced. Of course this has happened. My advice to the journalist is this – go and visit, use your eyes.

    I did exactly that, and it shocked me.

    There is no multiculturalism. There is one culture. One religion. One way of life.

    Islam.

    I make no apologies for my views on that, and Restore Britain’s efforts to change it.

    His third concern? Incredibly…

    The fact that Restore Britain has banning halal and kosher slaughter as a policy.

    He is offended by my description – ‘barbaric foreign practices that have no place in our high-trust society’.
    He calls it ‘despicable’, and it puts me ‘beyond the pale’.

    He states that banning halal ‘would trigger a civil war’…

    Does that not prove my earlier point correct?

    Whatever.

    I don’t want millions and millions and millions of animals to be brutally butchered and left to bleed from the neck in the most unimaginable pain. Does that make me ‘despicable’? I think not.

    I am a British farmer. In this country, we care for our animals properly. I don’t care if that offends certain religions, I really don’t.

    He also takes issue with me labelling cousin marriage non-British. Seriously?

    If you are a Telegraph subscriber and you disagree, I suggest you let the paper know. They think your concerns around Halal slaughter are ‘despicable’ or that if you’re worried about parts of Britain becoming mainly Islamic that view is ‘foul’.

    If you’re reading this, agreeing with what I’m saying, then join us.

    Join Restore Britain.

    Let’s get our country back”

    The BBC’s reporting of Jason Arday’s resignation curiously includes details in his defence and has largely ignored the many well-reported points against him. He’s resigned lads – no need to defend him any more…

    The BBC’s 10 p.m. report on his resignation focused on the fact that the original allegations of plagiarism were made by Nathan Cofnas, the US academic who was ejected from Cambridge thanks to his choice views on race. The BBC reporter also listed most of his excuses, including:

    “He said that some errors in his earlier academic work could be related to his autism. And he also told the Times that there had been a concerted campaign to remove him from the university, which he argued was racially motivated… More than 16,000 people have signed a petition in support of him set up by the Good Law Project, but some academics have argued that there are now serious questions to answer.”

    That ‘petition‘ is one of Jolyon’s Good Law Project data gathering exercises and can be signed by Mr Potato Head. The BBC’s written report also printed his defences extensively and brought up Cofnas again, despite his limited relevance to the case as a whole:

    “Arday said some errors in his early academic work was because of his autism, as he relied on using mimicry to make sense of information, and that similar scrutiny would find similar errors in work by other academics…

    Accusations of plagiarism in Arday’s work were first voiced by Nathan Cofnas – a US researcher and self-defined ‘race realist’, whose role at a Cambridge college was terminated after backlash to his view that under a true meritocracy black people would ‘disappear from almost all high-profile positions outside of sports and entertainment.’”

    Widely-reported examples of the plagiarism are also ignored by the BBC. Do they want to hire him?

      You can be sure Jason Arday won’t be out of work long…

      His mother, a mental health nurse – whatever one of them is – was an early adapter, getting his diagnosed as a 3 year old for :
      autism spectrum disorder and global developmental delay.
      Later in life, he added dyslexia and epilepsy to his portfolio.

    Reform’s plan to ‘end illegal working in Britain’:

    “Pass the ‘Deliveroo Law’ to make CEOs and directors of large companies profiting from illegal workers personally and criminally liable for illegal working, regardless of knowledge of workers’ legal status.

    Introduce a fine of 10% of global turnover for large, multinational companies using illegal workers, to be paid into redress funds for victims of migrant crime and high street regeneration (including enforcement).

    Establish a ‘Turkish Barbers Tip Line’ for reporting suspected illegal working or organised criminal activity on the high street.”

    Needless to say, the BBC ‘report’ on the black Cambridge fraud is extremely mild – even sympathetic – painting him as more sinned against than sinning, a rather noble figure who stepped down out of principle. And they focus on his his ‘alleged’ plagiarism, not all his other delusional claims.
    In other words, it’s just a minor academic dispute that you plebs wouldn’t understand.

    “Former Pakistani state minister Rukhsar Ahmed was arrested in 2024 on suspicion of raping and trafficking young girls in Rusholme, Manchester in the 1990s.

    Ahmed, who was re-elected as an MP in Pakistan last week, was bailed after his arrest in July 2024 on suspicion of rape and trafficking children in care as part of a grooming gang.

    It is understood that Ahmed, 62, was expected to answer bail at a police station in Manchester last month, but failed to attend because he was “too unwell to fly” despite posting photos online of him campaigning in Mirpur, Pakistan.

    Greater Manchester police (GMP) had wanted to restrict Ahmed’s ability to travel abroad as part of his bail conditions, but a judge rejected the request in July 2024.

    Friends of Rukhsar Ahmed described him as “incredibly influential” in Manchester’s Pakistani community given his political role.

    He is so popular that Pakistanis from across the UK travel to meet him when he visits Manchester, which he is believed to do every few months.”

    “Shaw lost sight of the SEAT but in his pursuit came across Harper’s stab vest in the road.[15] The SEAT, with Harper still being dragged behind, arrived at a crossroads with the A4 Bath Road—approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) from where the police came upon the suspects.[14][20] It crossed the A4 into Ufton Lane near Sulhamstead, and Harper became disentangled.[17] At 23:30, Shaw received a radio transmission from another responding officer which warned of “a body in the road”; Shaw replied that he believed the body was that of Harper.[15][6] Shaw arrived at the location to find another officer tending to Harper,[21] who was pronounced dead by paramedics at 23:45.[12][17]

    A police helicopter using thermal imaging found the SEAT at Four Houses Corner, a travellers’ caravan site,[22] near Burghfield Common.[16]”[23]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Andrew_Harper

    Investigations showed that Harper was dragged 1 mile (1.6 km) in 91 seconds, with the defendants averaging 42.5 miles per hour (68.4 km/h).[3]
