Baflfes me why people follow a middle class convicted fraudster (his rich parents neighbour he swindled wasn't it?) who pretends to be working class and now Christian just for a grift. A salt of the earth bloke who other ex cons wouldn't leave alone in their house for 2 mins! Well those not done for beating their wives anyway.....

Why're they all so scared and cowardly to cover their faces if they don't think they are doing anything wrong or to be ashamed of? Do they all cover their faces when they beat their partners? They all seem to be terribly ashamed of their actions - has Trump called these all back clads 'antifa' yet as that is their m.o according to maga isn't it?

Ironically enough, 24 hours in police custody yesterday covered rival foreign drug gangs caving each others brains in with baseball bats (in Luton). The foreign female heroin addict that lured the 17 year old peddler blinded by the attack during the ambush, was let off by the jury. Apparently the four batters were somalians living in London. So far, only their daft Pakistani driver 'asian kev' is doing any time for it.

I'm still pretty shocked that 24 hours in police custody remains running, and is broadcast on channel 4 of all places. Pretty much the only non woke production of its kind. Although they were a little too sympathetic to the dealer that got his head caved in, claiming it's not their parents' fault that their 17 year old sons are organising drug deals on the streets of Luton at 1am. It's just a snippet, and not really where we should be forced to get real information from, but even in those rare instances where the police and cps do their jobs, it seems that the jury is seemingly too wet to send a foreign female drug addict to prison.

Good morning. Yes, it seems so. But in this case, they just let her off. Not even the usual community order or suspended sentence. The show actually provided very little insight into the trial, they just showed her bouncing around outside of the court, celebrating the not guilty verdict. Of course we don't exactly know why she got let off, but the evidence was compelling. Perhaps it was plying the addiction/sympathy card.

Watch house prices plummet in the areas these delightful new arrivals are housed. It's clear for all to see. The small or big boats are NOT landing. The illegals are being brought into the country by the RNLI & UK border force. In spite of Tommy's boys in Dover & Portsmouth, the battle is already lost. THE UK GOVERNMENT WANTS THEM HERE. Otherwise, why are government organisations bring them in instead of stopping them landing. Stop donating to RNLI. The police & army are on the side of the government. However ineffective both are, it's impossible for patriotic civilians to prevail. Apparently 5000 were landed in various places in a 24 hour period.

Britain hoping to create more legal routes to migration from Bangladesh

By  Sertan Sanderson Published on : 13/08/2026

Bangladesh is among the top five countries of origin for asylum applicants in the UK, but only a small number of applications from Bangladesh ever get approved. In the fight against irregular migration, Britain is now entering talks with officials in Bangladesh to develop vocational training programs, to empower people to legally migrate instead.

According to official immigration numbers presented to the British House of Commons in June, Bangladeshi nationals currently make up the fifth-largest group of people arriving in the UK to lodge asylum requests.

However, only few get their asylum applications approved since Bangladesh is considered to be a safe country of origin.

Last year, just over 40 percent of all applications in Britain were granted asylum without going through legal appeals. For Bangladeshi nationals, however, that rate stood at only 14 percent, according to Home Office figures.

Interestingly, Bangladeshi immigrants arriving in the UK did not make the top five nationalities arriving by irregular channels such as small boat crossings from mainland Europe.

The post-truth era is a time in which objective facts have less influence on public opinion than personal beliefs and emotional appeals.

Core Concept: What feels true to a person matters more in public debate than verified data or scientific evidence. [

Main Causes: Social Media Platforms use algorithms that reward emotional, sensational, or shocking content to keep users online.

Echo Chambers: Online feeds show people only what they already agree with, which shuts out opposing views.

Loss of Trust: People trust traditional news sources and major public institutions much less than they used to.
Major Impacts

Polarization: Society splits into groups that do not share the same basic facts.
Misinformation: False news, conspiracy theories, and deepfakes spread rapidly without facing strict fact-checking.
Weakened Democracy: Voters may make important political choices based on fear or anger rather than on real evidence.

I'm referencing the politics, not right move.

Coincidentally enough I had a trip around Neasden recently, using google maps street view. Unlike you, I was born and raised very close to the area (born park royal, lived in Dollis Hill) and lived there from being a baby, right up to my 20s. Left in the 1990s.

OMG, Neasden used to be a pretty nice area to be, now it's an absolute, palpable shed. That can be seen just from the roadside images. The centre used to be ped, now it's a car park.

As of the latest data, house prices in Neasden are as follows:

The average house price is £448,167 over the last year.

The average price for properties is £525,359, with detached houses averaging £1,190,000 and flats at £389,346.

The average flat price is £429,163, and the average house price is £731,154.


To be clear (I would have thought it was pretty obvious), I wasn't comparing the architecture of portsmouth to bath. I'm comparing the politics of the people now living in the area and determining the direction of the culture.

The correlation of average house prices to local politics is pretty thin.
