@TheGriftReport The country pay millions in interpreters for immigrants etc but then people say it’s offensive if we can’t understand a heavy accented version of the English language 🙄

Councillor apologises after asking council call handler to speak English as critics agree with her
Eastbourne Borough Councillor Elaine Hamilton, in her 60s, called the council helpdesk and struggled to understand the operator.
She politely said “I’m sorry but I can’t understand you, can I speak to someone who can speak English please?”
The comment triggered a backlash with some social media users branding her racist.
Hamilton has now issued a statement apologising and saying she regretted any offence caused.
Critics including local residents and fellow councillors have agreed with her, arguing English should be the language used for all council services so ratepayers can be properly understood.

I want to know exactly why Axel Rudakubana’s family came to the UK - on what visa, for what reason.
From the BBC report today…
'There was stark criticism particularly for his father Alphonse Rudakubana, who Sir Adrian said had deliberately withheld information about his son amassing a stash of deadly weapons including the biological toxin ricin.
Sir Adrian said if the parents had reported their true level of knowledge to the authorities before the attack, the killer would "undoubtedly have been taken into care or held in custody".'
I have put official questions to the Home Office on the role his parents played, and why they were in our country to begin with.
It is my view that the police should urgently investigate both the mother and the father of that monster, prosecuting/deporting where possible.

Rangers FC has maintained a tradition of displaying a portrait of the reigning British monarch in their home dressing room at Ibrox Stadium since 1986.
This now has been “REMOVED”
We will not forget how far this kingdom has fallen.

🚨ZARA THREW OUR KIDS TO THE WOLVES🚨
Mothers SHUT DOWN Zara Bristol after security FORCED a terrified 14yo white girl OUT of the store - straight into a savage gang beating that left her hospitalised.
Shitty security staff watched. Did NOTHING. No police call. No protection.
Our daughters aren't safe in your shops. Boycott Zara.

The problem is far worse than most of you understand.
They're hiding everything from us.
By the time the public realise the reality of the situation.
It may be too late!

The Prime Minister was evacuated from his house last night because of threats to his security.
I've been in his shoes. I've had 24/7 police protection and my children have been evacuated from school because of threats to me and my family.
Unfortunately with the frustration many people are feeling a few nutters are resorting to these threats.
Violence is not the answer - we have to have free speech, free debate and make our choice felt at the ballot box. Otherwise we're no better as a country than the violence towards elected officials in other countries.

@TRobinsonNewEra makes me sad-my daughter attended this school from 2006 for her entire primary education.. this never happened then so why now, kids were taught about other religions but not so laser focussed on diversity. Schools have wrongly moved away from traditional Christian celebrations

PEGGIE TRIES TO OUTRUN THE SUPREME COURT. DARLINGTON DOESN’T.
Two NHS tribunal judgments arrive after the Supreme Court’s ruling in For Women Scotland. They concern the same knot of facts and the same body of law. They even begin from the same starting point. Yet they end in different places, and the distance between them is not a matter of nuance. It is the distance between applying the law and attempting to soften it into meaninglessness.
Both tribunals accept what the Supreme Court settled: in the Equality Act, sex is biological. “Woman” means female. The real work of interpretation was done at the top. The remaining task was meant to be boring - the legal equivalent of putting one foot in front of the other and arriving where the statute takes you.
Hutchison does just that. It treats the Supreme Court’s definition as binding, not as a decorative paragraph to be admired and then ignored. It grasps something that has been wilfully muddied for years: equality law protects people from discrimination, but it does not manufacture a positive entitlement to enter spaces reserved for the opposite sex. It also takes workplace law seriously - the rules requiring separate facilities exist because privacy and dignity are not sentimental frills. They are the ordinary conditions of a functioning workplace. Read those laws together and the conclusion is unglamorous, obvious and therefore powerful: permitting a male employee to use the women’s changing room is unlawful.
Peggie, having accepted the same definition, begins to edge away from it like someone backing out of a room while insisting they are still fully present. It leans hard on the idea that the Supreme Court decision was about services, not workplaces, as though Parliament’s words change their meaning the moment you pin a staff pass to your shirt. It talks about “no hierarchy” between protected characteristics - the modern judicial comfort blanket - as if the settled definition of “woman” can be treated as merely one concern in a basket of competing feelings. And it tries to shrink workplace safety law into a technical footnote by pointing out it is enforced in a different way, as though the method of enforcement alters the fact that it is law.
Once you have done all that, the destination is preordained. Peggie ends up suggesting that allowing men to use women’s changing rooms might still be lawful, depending on circumstances. That is not the law speaking. That is a tribunal trying to keep a door open that the Supreme Court has just closed.
This is the crux. Hutchison reads like a court that understands what precedent is for. It settles the meaning of words and then allows those words to do their work. Peggie reads like a court that treats precedent as something to be managed - a weather system to be navigated around, so that the same policy can continue under a fresh coat of legal paint.
The difference matters because this is how rights are lost in practice. Not by dramatic repeal, but by a thousand careful qualifications. By the soothing language of “balancing”. By the insistence that nothing is ever quite determined, that everything depends, that clarity is dangerous and boundaries are negotiable. It is the law treated as a mood.
That is why Peggie is being ridiculed. It is not because people have become crude or impatient. It is because the manoeuvre is visible. Definitions are not ornamental. If a Supreme Court ruling fixes the meaning of “woman” in statute, lower courts do not get to pretend it is merely a theme that can be interpreted differently in each setting. Hutchison accepts that. Peggie strains against it.
In time, one of these judgments will be read as an attempt to restore legal coherence after years of institutional dithering. The other will be read as something else entirely: a small, determined effort to keep the old confusion alive, and to call it compassion.

I decided to run for Mayor of Los Angeles because one truth became impossible to ignore: not a single candidate was willing to clearly stand up for women’s safety.
Yes, we must address homelessness. Yes, we must rebuild the Palisades and Malibu after devastating fires. Yes, our economy must be restored. These problems are real, visible, and urgent—and any serious leader should be prepared to confront them.
But a city cannot call itself just or functional while women are expected to navigate daily life without safety, dignity, or protection. For too long, women’s safety has been treated as secondary, avoided, or politicized instead of addressed directly.
My mission is simple and non-negotiable: Los Angeles can be rebuilt, restored, and revitalized without sacrificing women’s safety. These priorities do not compete , they reinforce each other.
