Donald Trump swore he was going to sue the BBC over the self-admitted “error of judgement” the UK public broadcaster displayed in edits for a 2024 documentary on the January 6 insurrection, and today he really did.
For over $5 billion.
“This action concerns a false, defamatory, deceptive, disparaging, inflammatory, and malicious depiction of President Trump, which was published in a BBC Panorama documentary, that was fabricated and aired by the Defendants one week before the 2024 Presidential Election in a brazen attempt to interfere in and influence the Election's outcome to President Trump's detriment,” proclaims the defamation suit filed in federal court Monday in Florida.
If you wondered what, besides Trump having his official residence there and sympathetic judges, POTUS’ lawyers’ logic is filing in the Sunshine State., it is because the thrust of the action is claiming violations by the Beeb of Florida's Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act. “Additionally, the BBC offers subscriptions to individuals in Florida and as a result has thousands of subscribers in Florida,” the filing also states. ” Any individual in the United States, including Florida, can pay for a subscription to the BBC's content and services.”

First we have the doctors, Now the police!
The unions want their pound of flesh from Labour
New Year's Eve chaos as police in UK city set to strike
Metropolitan Police staff are set to walk out for 25 hours in London on New Year's Eve - one of the busiest days of the year. The strike over pay is set to be "very disruptive", which could result in "delays to emergency call-outs" due to a lack of staff. According to trade union Unite, 175 employees from the Met's central command, including call handlers, office staff, fleet service staff and technicians will take part in the action.
Unite said: "As a significant night in policing, strike action will be very disruptive, including causing delays to emergency call-outs." The walk-out will begin at 6am on New Year's Eve and will last until 7am on New Year's Day. According to Unite, staff are striking as they have not had a pay increase for 2025-2026, despite police officers across the UK, including at the Met, receiving a rise of 4.2%. -
1. Arrests and front‑end disproportionality: Black people arrested at roughly twice the White rate
Government figures collected on Ethnicity Facts and Figures show Black people experienced about 20.4 arrests per 1,000 population compared with 9.4 per 1,000 for White people, meaning Black people were over twice as likely to be arrested in the period reported [1]
2. Arrest-to-prison pipeline: over‑representation in custody and young cohorts
Ministry of Justice and government analytical releases document ethnic imbalances beyond arrest: Black offenders account for a disproportionate share of younger prisoners — 25% of the under‑18 prison population and 21% of 18–24 year‑olds in the year ending June 2025
Official record studies consistently show that Blacks exhibit higher levels of involvement in criminal offending than Whites do, there appears to be considerable evidence that Blacks are disproportionately involved in serious crime.
Since the beginning of the 20th century, racial and ethnic differences in the rates of serious juvenile and adult offending have been repeatedly observed. The lifetime risk of being arrested and incarcerated for Black males is much higher than it is for White males rates of involvement in serious violence are much higher for Blacks than Whites and Blacks have a higher rate of personal violence and homicide victimization than Whites do. Despite widespread consensus about these disparities, the discussion of race and crime remains “mired in an unproductive mix of controversy and silence” with many criminologists who “loathe to speak openly on race and crime for fear of being misunderstood or labeled a racist” (Sampson & Lauritsen, 1997, p. 32).
One of the key disputes in the race–crime literature concerns the overrepresentation of Blacks in official crime statistics. As shown in Table 1, non-White arrest rates are higher than White arrest rates for all crimes (and summary indices).1 For example, the non-White arrest rate for robbery was 132.8 per 100,000, whereas the comparable rate for Whites was 23.0 per 100,000. The non-White to White robbery ratio was 5.773, indicating that for every one White who was arrested for robbery, almost six non-Whites were arrested for robbery. -
Fury in EU country as court orders release of radical Muslim preacher 😡
Politicians have reacted with fury after a court overturned a decision to deport a radical Muslim preacher. Mohamed Shahin was arrested in November by police after his Italian residence permit was revoked and an expulsion decree was signed by Matteo Piantedosi - Italy's Interior Minister.
The Italian government claimed the imam posed a threat to national security and cited alleged controversial statements he had made in the past as evidence. Shahin has been at the forefront of pro-Palestinian demonstrations in the northern city of Turin. He is reported to have described the horrific Hamas massacre of Israeli's in October 2023 as being "not an act of violence".
His arrest has led to several protests by his supporters and left-wing groups 😡 who have demanded his release.
Politicians accused the court of taking a political decision, as opposed to a judicial one.
Galeazzo Bignami, the leader of Giorgia Meloni's Brothers of Italy party in the parliament, said: "This is yet another slap in the face to the State and to those who work every day to protect it.
Anna Maria Cisint, an MEP for The League, added: "It is unacceptable that we can return to preaching in mosques.
"They have now become veritable instruments of indoctrination: a ticking time bomb." 👍 -

Migrants convicted of sex offences 'claim trauma to get shorter sentences.
Migrant lawyers earning big bucks all thanks to taxpayers.
Migrants found guilty of sexual crimes in Britain are attempting to secure shorter prison terms by arguing that trauma from experiences in their native countries played a role in their offending, according to an investigation by The Times.
Lawyers have successfully obtained reduced sentences for some clients by highlighting psychological trauma endured before arriving in the UK.
The cases span multiple nationalities, including an Egyptian convicted of rape, a Syrian sexual assault perpetrator, a Ukrainian who escaped custody altogether, and two Afghan teenagers imprisoned for attacking a young girl.
Egyptian national, Abdelrahmen Adnan Abouelela, 42, was convicted of raping a woman in Hyde Park and told the court he suffered from "borderline emotionally unstable personality disorder and PTSD as a result of experiences in Egypt".
Following the ruling, the Daily Mail revealed he had been convicted in absentia in Egypt in 2015 for involvement in a bomb-making cell linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, receiving a seven-year sentence.
He fled Egypt and sought asylum upon arriving in Britain in April 2023, residing in taxpayer-funded hotel accommodation.
A separate case involved Hassan Abou Hayleh, a Syrian refugee convicted in November 2024 of sexually assaulting a 19-year-old woman in Weymouth in 2022.
His lawyers contended he experienced severe PTSD after being imprisoned and tortured under Bashar al-Assad's regime, arguing incarceration would breach his human rights.
Andrii Starovoitov, a 33-year-old Ukrainian refugee, avoided imprisonment entirely after molesting a woman at London Bridge station, citing stress over his family's safety amid the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
Two Afghan teenagers, Jan Jahanzeb and Israr Niazal, both 17, received sentences of ten years eight months and nine years ten months respectively for raping a 15-year-old girl in Leamington Spa.
Niazal claimed he did not understand consent "as it does not exist in Afghanistan".
"It is an insult to victims that these illegal immigrants are using unverifiable and potentially made-up claims about past trauma to excuse rape and reduce their prison sentences. Our justice system should have no truck with this nonsense." -
More than 700 migrants cross English Channel to push yearly total over 40,000
More than 700 migrants crossed the English Channel on Saturday to push the yearly total of arrivals above 40,000.
Home Office figures showed 737 people made the journey to Britain via small boats on 13 December across 11 vessels - an average of 67 people per vessel.
It means the total number of migrants who have crossed the English Channel so far this year stands at 40,029.
The last time more than 40,000 migrants crossed in a year was in 2022, when the total for the year was 45,755.
In 2023, the total number of migrant arrivals stood at 29,437, while it was 36,816 for 2024.
Saturday's arrivals brought to an end a period of 28 days without migrant boats crossing the Channel - the longest uninterrupted run since 2018.
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood on Sunday acknowledged that a change in the weather this weekend had prompted the first migrant arrivals in nearly a month.

Christmas greetings being phased out for seasonal greetings,
So we do not offend.
Is it possible to bend over backwards any further without falling over completely?
Practical Guidance for Interfaith and Multicultural Settings
Here are actionable steps to navigate the issue of Christmas lights respectfully:
Tip: Use neutral terms like \"winter lights\" or \"seasonal display\" when referring to decorations in shared or public spaces to avoid implying religious endorsement.
Checklist: Inclusive Holiday Practices
Ask community members about their traditions before planning seasonal events.
Offer alternative ways to participate—e.g., letting families contribute symbols from their own faiths.
Avoid mandatory decoration policies in schools, workplaces, or housing complexes.
Educate children about multiple festivals of light, not just Christmas.
Support local celebrations of Hanukkah, Diwali, Bodhi Day, and Kwanzaa with equal visibility.
Step-by-Step Guide: Hosting a Culturally Sensitive Winter Event
Assess your audience: Determine the religious and cultural makeup of attendees.
Choose inclusive themes: Focus on universal values like hope, generosity, and light.
Feature multiple traditions: Include stories or symbols from various winter festivals.
Use neutral language: Avoid terms like \"Christmas party\" if the event is meant to be inclusive.
Allow opt-outs: Never require participation in any religiously associated activity.
Follow up with feedback: Ask attendees how they felt represented and improve for next year. -
Keir Starmer leaves UK independence hanging in balance - while EU falls apart
President Trump caused spluttering outrage this week in the chancelleries of Europe with his warning that governments on this side of the Atlantic are presiding over "civilisational erasure". The vivid phrase encapsulates the American belief that Europe's leaders have lost confidence in their heritage, identity and values, with the result that they are too "weak" to defend themselves or "restore their greatness".
Within the governing elite of the continent, anger at this attack has been mixed with alarm at America's perceived abandonment of support for Europe.
But it is not Trump who is sapping the strength of Europe but our own rulers through their addiction to progressive ideology and bureaucratic control. It is our political class, not the White House, that has shown contempt for our traditional liberties, history and sovereignty.
A downward spiral of disaster.

Miliband isolated as EU prepares to reverse petrol car ban
Sense at last.
Ed Miliband has been left isolated over his net zero policies after the European Union (EU) dropped a flagship pledge to ban sales of new petrol cars.
Brussels was said to be preparing for a major climbdown on vehicle emissions rules amid a revolt by member states including Germany and Italy.
Manfred Weber, head of the European Parliament’s biggest grouping of MEPs, said a ban on petrol, diesel and hybrid cars scheduled for 2035 was now off the table indefinitely.
The dramatic reversal across the Channel will be seen as a fresh blow to Mr Miliband, the Energy Secretary, and Labour’s net zero policies that critics say risk damaging industry and driving up costs for households.

UK's failure to end asylum crisis is costing taxpayers £5 billion every year
The UK's inability to deport failed asylum seekers is fuelling an extortionate bill for taxpayers, a scathing report has revealed. The spending watchdog accused ministers of not taking a "realistic approach" to removing people with no right to seek sanctuary. And this has led to "significant" costs, the National Audit Office said.
The Home Office also does not hold any data on the number of people who have absconded from the asylum system, the number of migrants who have launched repeated appeals or the "total number of people currently subject to some form of enforcement action". The department also doesn't know many "unsuccessful removals" there have been. The NAO estimated the asylum crisis is costing more than £5bn a year, including almost £3bn alone in accommodation.

Net zero leaves UK on 'precipice of industrial collapse.
Britain stands on "the precipice of industrial collapse" because of surging energy costs that have been pushed higher by net zero policies, according to a new report from the Prosperity Institute. It warns: "Our energy-intensive industries, from steelmaking to ceramics, from poultry processing to industrial gases, are at just 50% of their annual output in 2000.
"The industry has gone from over 800,000 jobs to under 413,500, despite Britain's population increasing by nearly 11million in this time." The report - Destroying the Foundations: How Net Zero Could Wreck British Industry for Good - claims high energy prices are "increasingly becoming the number one issue leading to factory closures and job losses". Author Rian Chad Whitton insists a "thriving industrial sector is essential for British prosperity".
Its publication coincides with research from the National Energy System Operator suggesting the drive to make the UK net zero by 2050 could cost the country £350billion more than a slower approach.

Sperm donor fathered 200 children - including some in UK - without knowing he had cancer-causing genetic mutation which has already claimed some children's lives
A sperm donor who unknowingly harboured a cancer-causing genetic mutation has fathered at least 197 children across Europe, some of whom have already died.
Only a minority of the children who inherit the mutation will escape cancer in their lifetimes, according to an investigation.
While the sperm was not sold to UK clinics, a small number of British families used the donor's sperm while having fertility treatment in Denmark.

Two Afghan asylum seekers aged 17 jailed after raping 15-year-old girl
Two child asylum seekers from Afghanistan who abducted and raped a 15-year-old girl in parkland have been detained for ten and nine years respectively.
Jan Jahanzeb and Israr Niazal, both aged 17, face possible deportation and were ordered to register as sex offenders after a court heard their victim was led away from friends and attacked.

Get out of my pub! Landlords ban Labour MPs after business rates bombshell
Pub landlords are banning Labour MPs amid a furious backlash over huge business rates increases that they say threaten their survival.
Businesses were left seething after discovering their property tax bills will increase steeply next year - making a mockery of the Chancellor's claim to have helped the hospitality industry.
The boss of one of the country's largest pub chains has now implored Rachel Reeves to change tack, warning her reforms 'could be the tipping point that changes the shape of the industry forever'.
Around 50 pubs across the country have put up signs saying 'No Labour MPs' in a show of protest, according to restaurateurs behind the rallying cry.

Trump: Sadiq Khan only gets elected because of mass migration
Donald Trump has claimed Sir Sadiq Khan was only elected because of support from an influx of migrants to the capital.
The US president repeatedly criticised Sir Sadiq in an interview, calling him a “horrible mayor” and accusing him of making London a “different place” because of mass migration.
Mr Trump told Politico: “He’s a disaster. He’s got a totally different ideology to what he’s supposed to have.
“And he gets elected because so many people have come in.
He also said that London and Paris were a “much different place” because “politically correct” leaders in Europe “don’t want to send them back to where they came from”.
Mr Trump added: “If you take a look at London, you have a mayor named Khan. He’s a horrible mayor. He’s an incompetent mayor, but he’s a horrible, vicious, disgusting mayor.
“I think he’s done a terrible job. London’s a different place. I love London. And I hate to see it happen.”
Sir Sadiq, whose own parents moved to the UK from Pakistan, has suggested that London should accept more immigrants and believes that higher migration numbers boost economic growth.
That's been proven wrong! -

Afghan migrant, 28, charged with raping two girls, 14, in a Bolton flat had been granted indefinite leave to remain in the UK with his family
Bolton was granted indefinite leave to remain in the UK with his family, a court has heard.
Sultani Bakatash, 28, was arrested in the early hours of Sunday following a report of rape in the Middle Hulton area of the town.
He appeared at Manchester Magistrates' Court on Tuesday, following the brief hearing via a Dari interpreter.
The court heard Bakatash has been in the UK for two years and has been granted indefinite leave to remain, with his mother, two brothers and two sisters also living in the UK.
Bakatash has been charged with two counts of rape of a girl aged under 16, one count of sexual assault, and one count of assault by penetration.
All the alleged offences are said to have been committed on Saturday, December 6.
He had been in online contact with the girls before meeting them, GMP said.
Gabrielle Bann-Khellaf, prosecuting, opposed an application for bail made on behalf of the defendant by his solicitor.

Primary school teacher is banned after telling Muslim child that Britain is a Christian country
The teacher, who chose to remain anonymous, was suspended and sacked after he reprimanded students for washing their feet in the sinks in the boys' toilets, it is reported.
And according to the child who made the complaint, he said there was a Islamic school a mile away if they wished to attend it instead.
Lord Young, the director of the Free Speech Union, said on Monday: 'This teacher lost his job and almost ended up being barred from the profession for life just because he pointed out to a class of Muslim schoolchildren that the national religion of England is Anglicanism.
'Things have reached a pretty pass in this country if a teacher can be branded a safeguarding risk because he says something that's incontestably true.
'If he'd claimed that Islam is the official religion of England, even though that's not true, I doubt he would have got into any trouble.'

Labour councillor employed illegal immigrant!

A Labour councillor hired an illegal immigrant to work as a nanny for a year and paid her cash in hand, a court heard.
Hina Mir is under pressure to resign after it was found she employed Himanshi Gongley at her London home until Aug 2024, despite her not having legal residency or the right to work in the UK.
The 45-year-old former deputy mayor for the borough of Hounslow kept the Indian student on call “24 hours a day for six days a week” to look after her two children in Feltham, west London.
Mir claimed the student, who was 22 at the time, was merely a “social visitor” frequenting her home to “play video games, to watch TV and to chill” when in fact she was performing household chores.
Amelia Williams, for the Home Office, said the student appeared to be distressed when she “flagged down a police car for help” on Aug 28 last year.

New results have been published of a clinical trial involving eight children and two adults with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (T-ALL), which showed that two-thirds of the patients are now in remission after taking the revolutionary gene therapy treatment.
The treatment – known as BE-CAR7 – was developed by scientists at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) and King's College Hospital in London and is a highly advanced version of an immunotherapy.

Thousands protest in village after army cadets booted out of camp to make way for 600 migrants
A former army camp where the Government plans to house hundreds of migrants has been hit with a fresh set of protests.
Locals took to the streets near the camp on the outskirts of Crowborough in East Sussex, where up to 600 male asylum seekers are set to be housed.
It is the fifth weekend in a row where the protests have taken place with many speaking of their "terror" at the plans.
Many were seen waving Union Jack flags and holding placards as they braved the grim weather to voice their anger.
Darren Corner, a father of two teenage daughters who lives who within a mile of the camp, said the group were going to keep protesting until the proposals were cancelled.

The talent pool might resemble a puddle, yet one candidate has become a frontrunner.

How ironic that the very mention of his name reduces many to a cold sweat or gets people hot under the collar.
In a deeply depressing assessment of the dearth of talent occupying Labour, the Energy Secretary is the clear frontrunner to succeed Sir Keir when he is inevitably toppled by the lunatics who run the asylum.
Labour is haemorrhaging votes to the left - the Green Party and Liberal Democrats - leaving Sir Keir with a net favourability rating of -51 and the party looking for another useful idiot.
Starmer is a dead man walking, and the Labour centre-left will do anything to stop Wes Streeting filling his shoes.
But can you imagine life under Ed?
No? Well, he could very well be the next Labour leader and waltz straight into No 10 as Prime Minister in a frightening second coming.

Somali refugees in Minnesota have committed the 'biggest theft of taxpayer dollars in US history' Federal authorities announced this week that at least 86 people within small Somali communities in the state - have stolen more than $1 billion in public funds from programs meant to feed children, assist the homeless and provide autism therapy. The suspects allegedly ran companies that billed Minnesota state officials for millions of dollars in social services that were never actually rendered in three separate fraud schemes.
It has since been revealed that Representative Ilhan Omar and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz had connections with at least some of the Somali refugees charged in the massive scheme. They were both pictured with Abdul Dahir Ibrahi, who was taken into Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody on Friday. He had previously been convicted in Canada of asylum and welfare fraud.

Planners scramble to rebrand 1,000-home 'Muslim city' project
A proposed development has sparked a whirlwind of controversy, with whispers of Sharia law and a name change that hints at deeper tensions.
An Islamic organisation aiming to build what critics branded a “Muslim city” in eastern Texas has changed the development’s name after Governor Greg Abbott accused them of planning to enforce Sharia law.
Albeit much larger in scale, the plans echo that of a controversial proposed mosque on the edge of the UK's Lake District, in Dalton-in-Furness, Cumbria.
The cleric linked to the project, Yasir Qadhi, has long drawn concern due to a widely-reported and decades-old history of preaching hatred, homophobia and Holocaust denial.
The takeover is increasing at speed and at a much greater scale.
It's funny how nobody is talking about integration anymore.

Before ‘setting a woman on fire’, this convict was arrested 72 times
By the age of 50, Lawrence Reed had been arrested 72 times. His charges stretched back at least three decades.
Reed notched up number 73 earlier this month, when he set a young woman called Bethany MaGee on fire on a Chicago train, leaving her severely injured.
He watched as the 26-year-old was engulfed in flames and walked off when the train doors finally opened, and she collapsed on the platform, prosecutors claim. Later, while being taken into custody, he allegedly shouted “burn b----” and “burn alive b----.”
Critics, including Donald Trump, the US president, condemned the attack as the latest in a litany of cases of career criminals being allowed to roam the streets and potentially harm innocent victims because of misguided soft-on-crime policies. -

The body of 18-year-old Ryan Al Najjar was found gagged, her hands tied behind her back and her ankles taped together, dumped in a swamp six days after she vanished from the family home in Joure in May last year.
Her brothers, Mohamed, 23, and Muhanad Al Najjar, 25, are now on trial for her murder, while their father, Khaled - accused of ordering the killing - has fled back to Syria.
Investigators found her father's DNA under Ryan's fingernails but prosecutors say they cannot determine whether he or one of her brothers carried out the killing

Former Islamic teacher, 71, jailed for sex offences
against little girls as young as 7.
71-year-old former Islamic teacher in Ipswich, who was convicted of numerous non-recent sexual assaults, has been jailed. Hafez Ashraf Uddin, of Wivenhoe Road, Barking, appeared at Ipswich Crown Court on Friday 21 November, where he was sentenced to 12 years in prison.

Nigel Farage eyes red wall wipeout after Reform steals 'bellwether' seat from Labour in historic win 👏👏👏
Reform UK has bagged another by-election win that could pave the way for greater gains in Labour's heartland.
Reform snatched victory from Labourin a Sunderland by-election this week in a dramatic swing, taking home 45.2 per cent of the vote.
Sir Keir Starmer's party, meanwhile, slipped to third place in the Hetton ward by-election, with a share of just 22.7 per cent of the vote, falling behind an independent candidate who finished up on 25.6 per cent.
Why the win is so significant
The seat is regarded as a 'bellwether' ahead of Sunderland City Council's May elections.
Bellwether seats are constituencies where the local result tracks a wider voting trend.

Fury over Police Federation boss £700,000 salary and 100% bonus
The leader of a staff association for rank-and-file police officers has received a 100 per cent bonus for the past two years as he was paid £1.4million over the period.
Mukund Krishna, chief executive of the Police Federation of England and Wales, received a total annual remuneration of £701,100 for each of 2024 and 2025.
The former management consultant's annual salary had already been disclosed on Tuesday as £342,000 after a freedom of information request by a police officer.
But now, the federation has also said he received a 100 per cent bonus 'retention payment' and a 5 per cent contribution of £17,000 to his pension for each year.
Mr Krishna's total remuneration means he receives the biggest paycheque of any trade association or union leader in Britain, according to The Times.
No wonder he's smiling. -
US suspends Afghan immigration requests after National Guards shooting
It's time to stop this madness!
The US has suspended all immigration requests for Afghan nationals after two National Guard soldiers were shot near the White House.
It comes after the suspect of Wednesday’s shooting, which US President Trump labelled as an “act of terror”, was identified by the Department of Homeland Security as Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal. It is understood he arrived in the US in September 2021.
The two soldiers, who were part of a militarized law enforcement mission ordered by Trump months ago, were hospitalised in critical condition.
Tens of thousands of Afghan nationals entered the US under special immigration protections following the US withdrawal from the country in 2021, under former president Joe Biden.
The 29-year-old suspect is understood to have entered the country under the Operation Allies Welcome programme. -

Everyone using Amazon this week issued with alert and 5 new rules to follow
It's Black Friday week, and that means shopping scams will be on the rise.
To help survive the next few days of shopping, Amazon has released 5 rules that are very wise to follow.

• Remember, Amazon will never ask you to make payments or to provide payment information (including gift cards or wire transfers) for products or services over the phone.
• Consider setting up 2-step verification when available to your online accounts to help prevent unauthorised account access. You can set up 2-step verification at amazon.co.uk/2SV.
• Save time and stay secure using a passkey. It’s a safer way to sign in than using passwords and it works with the same face, fingerprint, or PIN you already use to unlock your device. Set up a passkey at amazon.co.uk/passkey.
• Scammers might try to create a sense of urgency to persuade you to do what they're asking. Be careful any time someone tries to convince you that you must act now.

Walk down Uxbridge High Street and on the surface, it appears like any other. But scratch beneath and you'll find a town struggling at the centre of the UK's migrant crisis.
It's a situation that has caused an unbearable financial burden to be shouldered by the local authority, which is now splashing out more than £10million a year on paying for asylum seeker accommodation. For a town already struggling with squeezed services, many residents told the Express the issue is tearing the community apart.
Susan Weston, 66, said there was a "growing concern that all these young men
coming over are actually, homeless, paperless
She warned the situation is "causing this country an awful lot of problems" and said Sir Keir Starmer, What is he doing as Prime Minister, has he got any idea? I don't think he has.
Sir Keir Starmer was being "pushed by the Muslim population", alleging it was "obvious, otherwise why would all these fighting men, muslims, be coming over to this country? Well, they're votes for Labour."
Colin Easthope, 73, who has lived in the area for 28 years. "Instead we are giving away money overseas, and not looking after our own in this country. Labour are a 'no-no' from me.
"It's a struggle to hear English on the high street. It takes a week to get an appointment. It's changed in the three years I've lived here,"
One of the flashpoints that epitomised local division occurred early this year when a local man chased a group of youngsters into a shopping center after they "ran into him" and "pushed him" before shouting "English B*stard". -

Labour support continues to fall as Reform steals triple by-election victory.

Miliband's dash for Net Zero lands millions of families with yet another energy bills hike
Millions of families are to be hit with another rise in energy bills this winter because of Ed Miliband's dash for Net Zero.
Energy regulator Ofgem said government 'policy costs' were a key driver in the latest rise, which takes the price cap to £1,758 a year. Bills will rise even though wholesale energy prices have fallen by four per cent.
The cap is £190 higher than when Labour came to power last year, despite Mr Miliband's pre-election pledge to cut bills by £300.
The situation is so embarrassing for the Government that Rachel Reeves is now considering action in next week's Budget to remove the cost of things like connecting wind farms to the grid from energy bills and pay for them through general taxation.
But critics tonight called on Keir Starmer to 'rein in' Mr Miliband and bring a halt to the remorseless rise in UK energy costs, among the highest in the developed world.
