@davidkurten Can we please have a Police Force to protect girls in Rotherham, and other places where such risks exist?

It is ridiculous that Met Commissioner Rowley says there should be a specific Jewish police force. Does this mean there should also be a Muslim Police Force, a White police force, a Black police force, a Christian police force, a gay police force, a women's police force and a tranny police force?

🔴 The Metropolitan Police needs a new specialist force to protect Jewish people from a “pandemic of anti-Semitism” in the wake of the Golders Green attack, Sir Mark Rowley has said 🔗: telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/05/0…

@mrsDugskullery Sandra you could have baked him your signature cake, then brought out the aromatherapy diffuser. Please consider the threat level and the act of stabbing an old man in the throat. That could have been your uncle Bob.

Has anyone been able to explain why it took TWO police officers to kick him in the head? Have they even shown it on mainstream media yet?

@FormerSpring @BladeoftheS Famously bigoted columnist Melanie Philips. Presumably they have her on because a bit of controversy boosts ratings. Never mind that she's spouting hateful lies.

Mick Lynch "Zack Polanski isn't inciting hatred for Jews he believes he is an agent of peace and that Israel is carrying out Mass Murder in Gaza and the West Bank, and I believe that too." When Mick Lynch speaks sense, he speaks sense.

@IanMartinezC @BladeoftheS I bought an analog clock for my grandson recently, he is four. He knows the numbers already and is probably working out the details for himself. If not he can be taught. I have an analog alarm clock, which sets itself by a radio signal.I see it react sometimes.

@BladeoftheS Schools still teach them and they’re also one of the last places to reinforce them. Digital clocks are much more accurate, plus we all have one in our pocket. How many individual clocks do you in a week, a month or a year? I can’t even remember when the last time I even saw one.

@novaramedia Only a cynic would suggest they fear the outcome of such an inquiry. Obviously there was never such influence, and we can remain confident in their objectivity and neutrality.

The Labour government will not hold a public inquiry into the influence of pro-Israel groups, even after more than 114,000 people called for a probe. novaramedia.com/2026/04/23/uk-…

Were the officers who were kicking the Golders Green attacker repeatedly in the head members of the Met or of the volunteer Jewish security group? I’m assuming that Rowley’s defence was because they were police officers, but I keep seeing different views.

@jk_rowling @FrankieJack69 Can the actions of a violent nutter be characterised, whether as antisemitic or not, in the time before an assessment by mental health professionals*, and then a trial? *Which perhaps remain unpublished lest they influence the trial. Or might the Defence use such in mitigation?

@FrankieJack69 I think his immense self-regard and his unshakeable belief in the rectitude of all his opinions has created a cast iron sphere around his brain through which self-awareness cannot penetrate.

Hey @OctopusEnergy, I'm a student and you've overcharged me by £1,600+, I can't pay my rent, and your phone agent left me on a silent line for 20 mins until you closed for the bank holiday. Can someone please help?

@socialistp40357 He wrote a page and a half letter to ZP. Nowhere did it elaborate on allowable 'reasonable force' under those circumstances. I wonder whether cops have guidance or not, so they could be hounded by IOPC later.

I would suggest that Mark Rowley concentrates his efforts on eradicating MET officers who are corrupt, rapists, murderers, and liars, and educate his officers on the definition of "reasonable force", before he starts lecturing anyone about anything!.

@ItsJamesPowers @DollyMar72 @currys Do we see closet Curry's staff contributing here? For myself, I would ask my Card Co for help & advice. Though some on the internet will appreciate learning of your woeful and seemingly dubious treatment by the retailer.

Well that is the last time I will be shopping at @currys bought a laptop from them a couple of years ago (bought countless things since) I have a fault with my laptop. I’m told by the customer service team that they can’t find no record of the sale. However. They have been taking £8.00 a month out of my account for the service agreement since I bought it. Apparently there is nothing they can do. Oh and I won’t be getting my money back. Absolute disgrace!! Livid isn’t the word right now. Trading standards Tuesday morning me thinks.

@Jewish_Story @LindaSayle The UK fought a war against the Nazis, liberated some camps, ended it in debt to the USA. Did nothing to enable it. Say Thank You. Concentration camps were not seen on fim internationally, Germany did not have the equivalent of AIPAC.

@Joanna__Hardy @Glinner Isn't that just typical. And to think that our PM was a highly-paid lawyer, who failed to think of it. How inept. Obviously only a cynic would assume it was intentional.

An interesting fact about the Graham Linehan @Glinner appeal is that the right Mr Linehan exercised - an automatic right to appeal a summary conviction via a full rehearing in the Crown Court - would no longer exist under David Lammy’s proposed reforms.

@mrsDugskullery I am retired. Do I lose my pension which I paid for? I did have a career, one where my experience was relevant. Would he have advised my employer to replace me with a starter, who lacked my 25 years in the role? He can foxtrot right oscar.

They are going to make us watch Lebanon become Gaza and we won't be able to say a thing. John Mann on TV saying, People on the marches or on social media should lose their jobs. He doesn't specify what you would have to do to warrant that.
