A white British father and son BOTH raped the same child and pled guilty to multiple counts of Sexual assault.
This has been in the press for 2 days.
The Mirror is the only National newspaper to report on it…
And THAT’s why people have such a skewed perception of the links between race and SA🤷🏼♀️

The UK’s laziest Councillor?
Reform UK’s Councillor Shaun Knowles in Northumberland has been paid £9340.67 since becoming a councillor.
An FOI has shown he’s sent 2, TWO emails since May!
He’s attended just 1 meeting (in Sept) since elected.
Reform UK wasting tax payer money.

This is what happens when you put a preening, lazy, populist, dilettante in charge of a country.
Johnson was completely out of his depth and more concerned with his pathetic perceived popularity than leading this country through the greatest crisis since 1939.

A man who spent decades plotting his way to the top - constantly comparing himself to Churchill with all the subtle grace of a sack of broken glass in a cement mixer.
And what did we get? A hair ruffling Charlatan, who stood about dithering while hundreds of thousands got sick and died.

LBC doing its best to stir up hate for Doctors now. Slowest Ferrari ever brings on the net tax takers to moan about how a service they don’t pay for needs to pay the Drs less that.2008 - my advice to young Drs is go now and start a great life abroad.

Painful to watch, but revealing, too, of the tactical problem for the Tories of pitching Reform-like messages whilst also trying to differentiate themselves from Reform. And good to see dogged questioning from Lewis Goodall.

Good overview of the current electoral situation in the UK. Short but packs a lot in.
As I said in yesterday's post there's a scenario where first past the post turns very bad for Labour and PR is very much in their interest.

Good explainer here on how free movement allowed our economy to breathe without any of the prejudice and cruelty now masquerading as an immigration policy. We threw away real control to put in place the most incoherently ruinous system imaginable. www.thelondoneconomic.com/opinion/peop...
People are just realising that we had a better grip on immigration within the EU
They gave us bar staff and builders - we gave them sunburnt pensioners and seaside property booms. It was win-win.

The British voted for Brexit because of immigration.
But now, they want to turn back the clock in favor of the pre-2021 border system.

Brits are pining for the pre-Brexit migration system
The idea was that leaving the bloc would give the U.K. back “control” of its borders and create a fairer system. But the widespread perception is it didn’t turn out that way.
