Heartbreaking: This is how the body of the big crocodile was carried out from the river with the remains of the body parts of the missing Mpumalanga businessman. His remains are inside the crocodile's huge belly. 💔
It's one of the painful death one can experience on earth.
Dine-dashers who ran up a £540 bill at a steakhouse and then legged it without paying are being hunted by police.
A group of people enjoyed a slap-up meal at Miller & Carter in Kettering on April 6 between 5pm and 7.10pm before calmly walking out leaving the £539.70 tab unpaid.
Northamptonshire Police have now released CCTV images of the suspects and are appealing for anyone who recognises them to come forward.
It’s the second time in weeks the same branch has been hit by dine-and-dashers.
Anyone with information should call police on 101 quoting incident number 26000213409.
My thoughts are with the victims and the entire Jewish community after today's awful attacks.
We must fight the scourge of antisemitism in our country.
@DLFlower2024@RossKempsell You’re not thinking straight , if Russia ( massive country already ) controlled the rest of Europe including the coveted Greenland as well , then the US would be isolated and vulnerable to Russia/China attack .
Fuck the UK when the USA leaves NATO. You fucking pussies didn’t allow us to use our bases and we will never forget that not just our president with the American people fuck you and fuck you again and we will never come to defend you. I can’t wait till all of you are speaking Russian.
Only TWO years into Keir Starmer's premiership he has been forced to drop the absolute centrepiece of his foreign and defence policy - the absurd Chagos bill 🇮🇴
This is a HUGE defeat for Labour
More to come
Every season of Clarkson’s Farm highlights how unprecedented rain, drought, or heat can cause massive problems. His own show reveals the real consequences of climate change. I guess it’s easy not to care though when you own a farm mainly as a tax dodge.
@sharrond62 Nigel Farage has just cost the councils who requested a delay until next year MILLIONS when they have to re-run the council elections. £64m that should have been spent on its constituents.
How many U turns is that? Local elections back on because democracy is a Uk right… thou some would rather it wasn’t, some days I wake up & think it’s the twilight zone with the direction of travel with this inept government.
Keir has earned the right to deliver the change he has promised and do what he cares about - which is to serve the country.
This is not the time for the government to turn inwards on itself. We must focus on delivering the change we promised the country.
The picture is damning. Keir Starmer helped break the guarantee that makes lawful military service possible. That guarantee is simple and absolute: if you obey lawful orders, act within the rules given at the time, and serve the state in good faith, the state will stand by you when the mission ends. Without it, discipline collapses, restraint corrodes, and trust dies. Iraq is where that guarantee was first torn up. Northern Ireland is where the damage is now being repeated.
In 2007, Starmer chose to involve himself in a legal case that reshaped how British soldiers could be pursued after Iraq. Working voluntarily and without payment alongside Richard Hermer, now his Attorney General, and Phil Shiner, later struck off and convicted for fraud, he advanced a claim that extended human rights law deep into active war zones. That decision widened the law, lowered the bar for investigation, and turned clearance into a temporary reprieve rather than an end point.
The effects were immediate and brutal. Soldiers who had been investigated and cleared were dragged back years later. Lives were suspended in legal limbo. Families lived under permanent threat. The state had changed the rules after the fact and pretended nothing fundamental had shifted.
The case of Sergeant Richie Catterall exposes the truth with pitiless clarity. Cleared twice. Reopened a third time on allegations later shown to rely on false material. Thirteen years of pursuit. Severe mental illness. Near suicide. Vindication came only after his life had been dismantled. The submissions that reignited that ordeal were personally advanced by Starmer and Hermer.
From there, the machinery expanded. The Iraq Historic Allegations Team ballooned into existence, fed largely by claims generated by Shiner's firm. Thousands of allegations. Tens of millions of pounds spent. No convictions. What it produced reliably was fear and exhaustion for soldiers who had acted under lawful orders, while lawyers prospered and the process rolled on.
This history matters because it explains the present. The renewed pursuit of Northern Ireland veterans follows the same legal logic, now exercised with the full authority of government. The gutting of the Legacy Act, the refusal to pursue appeals, the exposure of ageing soldiers to endless process while terrorists walk free. This is the Iraq template reapplied.
Starmer's defenders retreat into technicalities. They speak of interventions, points of law, and neutral assistance to courts. That defence fails on contact with reality. Law does not operate in a vacuum. Extending litigation into war zones was a political act with foreseeable consequences. Starmer is too experienced to plead ignorance.
The detail meant to excuse him only deepens the charge. He acted pro bono. He was not compelled. He volunteered. He gave his time freely to a cause rooted in suspicion of state authority and indifference to battlefield reality. That speaks to belief, not detachment.
The continuity is reinforced by personnel. Richard Hermer, Starmer's ally in the Iraq case, now sits at the heart of government as Attorney General. What was once advocacy has become policy. The legal culture that treats soldiers as permanent suspects is now embedded at the top of the state.
This is the core failure. By making lawful service conditional and temporary, the government has voided the moral contract of soldiering. Serve today. Be judged tomorrow by different rules. Face process decades later. That is how hesitation replaces judgement, lawyers replace commanders, and recruitment drains away without announcement.
And while trust collapses at home and the bond between the state and its soldiers breaks down, where is our Prime Minister? In China, managing the fallout from the Chagos debacle and the row over a Chinese super-embassy. Leadership begins with loyalty. If he cannot stand by Britain's veterans, he should not stand at the head of government.
Keir Starmer and Lord Hermer
This budget puts the people of Wales first.
Mae pleidlais @SeneddCymru heddiw yn sicrhau £27.5bn i bobl a busnesau ledled Cymru – £1.2bn yn fwy na'r llynedd.
It provides stability for key services and is underpinned by our commitment to fairness and delivery.
If you have not seen this wonderful, feel good video, please do. In Minneapolis a pro-trans rally, a counter demonstrator is forced to defend himself.
A great FAFO moment.
By setting the Budget so late in the year then flying enough kites about possible tax rises to blot out the sun Rachael Reeves has presided over the most chaotic and debilitating run up to a Budget in memory. As a result people have stopped spending, business has stopped investing and companies have stopped hiring. No wonder the economy has ground to a halt.
Waking up at 5am freezing your balls off to go to work and exert yourself physically everyday to pay extortionate tax to keep illegal immigrants warm in hotels and pay for their clothes and iPhones.
UK Tradesmen.
@RorSyns You pay 50 quid a year to help people fleeing war. Probably the cost of that fat cigar you’re chugging on. Meanwhile, billionaires, multi-millionaires and corporations are laughing at us all day by tax dodging 100 of millions day in day out.
Enoch Powell was never a misunderstood intellectual, he was a racist demagogue whose “rivers of blood” speech unleashed decades of division, violence and fear.
Now, establishment media are trying to whitewash Powellism, treating it as a respectable debate about culture, when it was really a call to turn neighbour against neighbour.
When commentators compare Robert Jenrick’s rhetoric to Powell’s, they’re not warning us, they’re normalising the same poison in modern language.
Britain deserves better than this endless rehabilitation of hatred.
Powellism was wrong then and wrong now.
