@KayBurley I didn't see any desperation

I’ve been reading the judgment in the Henry Nowak case. The judge says the police officers at the scene were misled by lies told to them. Believing Henry was the offender, they arrested and handcuffed him. Moments later they realised he had a serious chest wound and began desperately trying to save his life. As a result the judge concluded that the officers did their best in extremely difficult circumstances. Perhaps. However, Henry was bleeding; he told the officer he’d been stabbed and he was struggling to breathe. Shouldn’t that have prompted a more thorough search for injuries before the handcuffs came out and were snapped onto his wrists? The judge says the wound wasn’t obvious. It was dark and Henry was wearing a dark top. He also pointed out in his judgment that the officers had been given a convincing but false account of what had happened. All of which may be true, but what he is not doing is ruling on whether the police response was correct. That’s for the separate investigations now under way. However, if someone gasps that they’ve been stabbed is it unreasonable to expect that possibility to be investigated first? In those circumstances, should concern for a potentially life-threatening injury take precedence over treating someone as a suspect? Genuine question. It is not the natural order of things for your child to die before you and under such devastating circumstances. My thoughts are with his parents as Henry’s murderer is sentenced to life in prison.

@JordanEVGuy How many are company, or fleet cars? Big tax advantage

Electric cars now account for more than 1 in 4 new cars in the UK. But…”nobody wants electric cars” 🤣 Apparently EVs are dead, nobody wants them, demand has collapsed, and the public has spoken. The usual nonsense from people that pretend to have a clue, and are continuously proven wrong. Meanwhile, May saw 43,931 battery electric vehicles registered in the UK, up 34.2% year-on-year. That gave EVs a 27.3% market share, meaning more than 1 in every 4 new cars registered was fully electric. Plug-in hybrids also grew by 23.9% to 22,167 registrations, taking another 13.8% of the market. Combined, plug-in vehicles accounted for over 41% of all new car registrations. But here’s the really awkward bit for the “nobody wants EVs” crowd… Petrol registrations fell 7.1% to 66,223. Diesel registrations fell 2.2% to just 7,622. Diesel now represents a tiny 4.7% market share of the new car market. Even petrol, despite still being the largest single category, continues to lose ground as buyers increasingly choose vehicles they can plug in. But don’t let facts get in the way of a good Facebook comment section. Imagine being the person that repeatedly says… “Nobody wants electric cars.” And being proven wrong every single month.

@robinmonotti Because 97% something

Will the climate hysterics explain how it is possible that CO2 is allegedly "causing" both record high temperatures and record low temperatures at the same time? I know the answer, but let's see what they say to this!

@SandyofSuffolk They never cal Elton John, real name Reginald Dwight

Funny how when BBC refer to Tommy Robinson they also say 'real name Stephen Yaxley Lennon' but when they refer to Zack Polanski they never say real name David Paulden. Funny that. 🙄

@SandyofSuffolk They always say X, formerly Twitter.

@AvonandsomerRob @BubblyIan People in their 20s are trying to get on the ladder with a 5 bedroom house?

@BubblyIan Some might say that if working people in their 20s can't get on the property ladder then housing stock should be voluntarily freed-up. I'm not necessarily of that opinion myself.

Should Boomers pay a Bedroom Tax if there are just a couple living in a home with more than three bedrooms?

@AvonandsomerRob Or should we downsize and take a starter home off the market?

@PrestonsWomble @JackOrton96 I don't care because the world cup isn't there.

@TheKnocker5 @JackOrton96 Where are these stadiums in OZ?

I actually cannot believe how many people are moaning about the WORLD Cup having non-UK friendly kick-off times. I worry about the day Australia & New Zealand eventually get to host it, this country might implode.

@vicsinghb @ScottWGerber @MarioNawfal For the same reason no one knew it wasn't a Kirpan. No one bothered to check.

"You bastards banned him from the temple but didn't un-baptize or tell the authorities." How do you know the authorities were not informed?

🇬🇧 This is the knife that Vickrum Digwa used to kill Henry Nowak He said he carried it as part of his Sikh faith Sikhs in the UK are allowed to carry knives called Kirpans, but for regular Brits, if they carry a knife the same size, they face a prison sentence Baptized Sikhs say carrying the kirpan is a mandatory article of faith, and it's non-negotiable However, the UAE introduced strict rules around carrying them, so many Sikhs residing in or traveling to the UAE opt to leave their kirpan at home or wear a symbolic miniature pendant. It's time for the UK to do the same

@browser_things @JackOrton96 Why would you have it in Qatar, or Saudi Arabia? Money talks

@JackOrton96 Football is dominant in this circle, why would you have a world cup outisde it??

@JackOrton96 @PrestonsWomble They don't play 2 games in one day at the same stadium

@JackOrton96 @PrestonsWomble More teams? Use more Stadiums.

@JackOrton96 We survived when it was held in America before. Also when it was in Mexico, twice and South Korea and Japan. We will be OK

@AvonandsomerRob MP

Name an occupation where you need less intelligence than a British Police Officer?

@J82Anderson @RachelVT42 If they didn't turn up, they couldn't have wanted to stay that much

Was actually a minority who voted to leave the EU. The vast majority of the UK wanted to remain, unfortunately to many of those who wanted to remain did not actually show up to vote, assuming that it was a formality. Many had not accounted for the fact so many on the leave side would turn out.

It’s funny seeing UK based accounts “defending” Europe, as if the majority of them didn’t choose to leave the EU in 2016. 😂 I guess many Brits just can’t resist bashing the US whenever they see an opportunity to do so, right? 🤔

@Butterknifeopr8 @consumerofmonch You are suggesting I teach myself because you can't answer the question. All very well what you said but it doesn't explain why hotter countries cope and UK doesn't. Is it because in the UK we use the cheapest shuttles products that aren't up to the job?

@TheKnocker5 @consumerofmonch I suggest you teach yourself, but the basics are; A system is sized for a certain delta temp A gas charge is also because a refrigerant has a certain “band” it will operate in depending on pressure and fill. Older gasses were better, but they’re banned now.

Because machinery has a designed operating temperature range. Next.

@MilanZak6 They probably don't remember it was in America before. And the Olympics. And Superbowl every year and plenty of Brits watch that.

The British think the world revolves around them. How ironic. Didn’t see a single American complain about waking up at 2am/5am for Qatar World Cup game.

@TonyByr33080250 @louderry So not because of oil then?

@TheKnocker5 @louderry Because the miners went on strike - no coal, no power generation, therefore energy rationing and the 3 day week. The miners were supported in their strikes by…….Labour.

Reminder, for those too young to remember. the 3 day week, and blackouts happened under the tories thanks to a global oil crisis. The soaring interest rates where caused by a combination of the oil crisis and Barbers budget, a tory Chancellor, who's budget Truss copied.

@AVoxPopz @ArchRose90 There are lots of things she doesn't remember.

@TheKnocker5 @ArchRose90 she admitted she went to her mother-in-law's house but didn't consciously see the campervan (does that mean she was drunk in the car?) & if she did see it, she would have thought it belonged to the neighbours..

This is so so laughable. Nicola Sturgeon’s excuse for not having any “conscious memory of seeing that motorhome" at her in-laws was due to it being parked round the side of the house. I find it hard to believe that she never saw it. A motorhome is hard to miss.

@BrianRace6 @DavidRi65852273 @OM_Marston @otokyo So do I

@DavidRi65852273 @TheKnocker5 @OM_Marston @otokyo True but Dutch have Scandinavian DNA.

Simple Yes or No poll, should white women be allowed to wear braids
