Shotover

A great time to be in the UK. If you're a muslim 1st, if someone attacks a mosque 5K miles away the PM will ask if you're okay 2nd, if you sell your 7yo daughter to a brother in Afghanistan, the BBC will sympathise 3rd, if you assault police, you'll walk Now you try that

This is unbelievable. A travesty of justice. One of the worst terrorist attacks in Europe was by Islamists at the Bataclan Theatre in Paris in November 2015. Two men stormed the 1,500 person theatre where a concert was in progress. They fired indiscriminately at people, then hunted them down as people cowered in offices and cupboards. They even executed those who lay on the floor pretending to be dead. 130 people died that day. Hundreds were injured. Mohammed Bakkali is a Moroccan-Belgian who was behind this attack (and the others that took place that night). He rented safe houses and provided cars for the Islamic State cell. He knew exactly what was happening and facilitated it. In the 2022 trial in Paris he was sentenced to 30 years for his role. And now comes the kicker. When he was extradited from Belgium to face trial, there was a condition that he serve any sentence in a Belgium prison. He has served 4 years and on 11 May the Belgium court granted him the right to leave six times for 36 hours each. In fact, it then came out that he has already had several day releases since 2025. They cite his good behaviour and rehabilitation. In Belgium, some prisoners only serve 1/3 of their sentence. Looks like for a Muslim who colluded in a heinous terrorist attack it is even less. The French are furious. And rightly so.

I believe if I had fought with armed police officers in an Airport, hospitalising one of them breaking her nose I would have been charged and remanded, I wouldn't of been back on my sofa within 24 hours as was the case at #ManchesterAirport I also believe fear and appeasement is why in this case these two were. Same reason police didn't respond when crowds decended onto the local police station that night. Moreover I also think, as a white British working class man, given the footage I saw, I feel very sure any jury would have come to a quick and easy decision in this case. Other factors I believe have leaked into decision making in Britain in 2026 and as a white person, given the direction of trave we can all see, you should find this petrifying. I say this as a former Police officer that genuinely believes both #TwoTierPolice and #TwoTierJustice are operating currently in Britain. #ManchesterAirport

Apple has published a paper with a devastating title: “The Illusion of Thinking” It argues that AI models, no matter how brilliant they may seem, do not understand what they are doing. They do not solve problems. They do not reason. They merely generate text word by word, trying to sound coherent. Apple tested the most advanced reasoning models in the world on controlled puzzle environments. They tore open the internal "thinking" traces. What they found shatters the narrative that we are getting closer to AGI. Current models don't scale with complexity. They have a hard mathematical cliff. And they do not degrade gracefully. They collapse. But here is the most unsettling part. When a problem gets too complex, the AI doesn't use its remaining compute to try harder. It just gives up. Its reasoning effort actually declines. It stops thinking and starts guessing. Then Apple ran the experiment that closes the casket on the reasoning debate. They gave the AI the exact, step-by-step algorithm to solve the puzzle. The cheat codes. All the AI had to do was follow the instructions. It couldn't do it. Performance didn't improve at all. When the complexity gets high enough, these models fail because they cannot actually execute a logical sequence. They are not reasoning. They are just pattern matching. When you give them a simple problem, they overthink. When you give them a hard problem, they collapse. Paper: The Illusion of Thinking, Apple, 2025

@JonPhilpott2 @spectator They're not good at that, which is partly why we're in such a mess

@spectator The survival of the Conservative Party depends not on Badenoch but whether right wing press hold Farage and Reform to the level of scrutiny one would hope on a party that has aspirations of governing the country

Instinct matters in politics. Overthink and you can underperform. Try to box too clever and you get punched in the mouth by an opponent who trusts their own unrestrained judgment. Kemi Badenoch’s newfound popularity within her party is the result of trusting her instincts. The Tory leader is finding that no argument is as persuasive as being herself. Ahead of the King’s Speech debate, Badenoch had worked hard on a script with some well-honed attack points. But the most memorable line was unscripted. When Wes Streeting, still yet to resign as health secretary, rolled his eyes at one of her points, she replied: ‘There’s no point in him giving me dirty looks – we all know what he’s been up to…’ Cue laughter even from the Labour benches as the minister plotting his ascent was smacked down. ✍️ Noa Hoffman Article | spectator.com/article/kemi-h…

BREAKING NEWS UPDATE;👇 The Non Verdict (2nd Hung Jury) at Manchester Crown Court is Perverse to say the least in ‘My’ opinion & their Defence of feeing they were about to be Killed is Fanciful at the least & a Damn well outright lie at the Worst;👇 It was one of the two Brothers who had already Head butted a passenger & thereafter he & his ‘Other’ Brother> ‘Flew into a Violent Rage’ Both already Pumped Up after the original Incident they unleashed a barrage of blows & Violence against the GMP Armed Officers as the Prosecution Rightly told the Jury!!👇 A HUNG JURY?👇 UN-FUCKING- BELIEVE-ABLE👇🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Folks Tens of Thousands of serving Officers across Britain have been following the 2 Trials re Manchester Airport attack some have contacted me; the Ramifications of TWO HUNG JURIES I cannot tell you how Serious the IMPLICATIONS are for officers carrying out future arrests👇🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️🙏

Labour prefer the workers to be mutely held hostage as they drone on in a hard hat about green energy dildos for trans gazans,

@BBCBreaking The level of corruption is just wild. The sheer level of backhanders and swindling must just be staggering. I would wager that if you were to dig into so many senior managers they have all had extensions done, holidays, cash in bags..... Its just a money laundering operation

China built 26,000 miles of high-speed rail in 15 years. Morocco built theirs in 8. Spain runs Madrid to Seville in under 3 hours and did it in the 90s. Britain needs 30 years and £100bn to connect London to Birmingham. This isn't a budget problem. It's a country that stopped knowing how to do things.

A truly cursed country where you finally vote out a nonentity like this, only for them to be gifted a lifelong peerage and a permanent seat on every news panel show going 😔

@SholaMos1 Hamas are brutal maniacs who kidnapped and murdered my relatives. I will say what I like about them.

Sheriff Grady Judd in Polk County is a legend 🤣😂

idk what’s going on in Polk County, Florida, but their sheriff is roasting the transgender prostitutes he’s arrested live at a press conference

Don't get comfortable. You've overstayed your welcome. You'll be leaving soon.

@Sargon_of_Akkad Modern Englishmen discovering what Lee Kwan Yew determined decades ago: jury trials are impossible in a multiethnic society.

🚨 BREAKING: Magistrates' Court and walks away! This maniac stands in the middle of the street screaming: "You Jews are gonna get BEHEADED one by one, you DIRTY JEWS!" and "FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA!" Charged with a racially aggravated public order offence... AND THEY LET HIM WALK FREE ON BAIL INSTANTLY! Not locked up. Not remanded. Just... released! HOW IS THIS a deterrent?! #TwoTier #Lostthestreets

@CCrowley100 Our Prime Minster after George Floyd He’s not said one word about Henry Nowak
