Eighteen-year-old student Paul Nowak was brutally stabbed with a 21cm knife. As he lay bleeding to death, police officers arrested him after accusations that he had said something racist — instead of attempting to save his life. When Paul told officers he could not breathe and that he had been stabbed, a male voice could be heard replying: “I don’t think you have, mate.” The police appeared more concerned with words that may have been said than with helping a young man bleeding to death. When officers prioritise policing speech over responding to a life-threatening emergency, serious questions must be asked. A proper national debate on two-tier policing is long overdue.

@DailySowell I have been reading a book about how China is run by engineers whereas much of the west is run by lawyers Breakneck by Dan Wang

Thomas Sowell on engineers vs intellectuals: “The engineer is judged by the end product. If he builds a building that collapses, it doesn’t matter how brilliant his idea was—he’s ruined.” “Conversely, if an intellectual has an idea for rearranging society and that ends in disaster, he pays no price at all.”

FYI, this is kier Starmer, the prime minister of the UK, kneeling for fentanyl addict George Floyd, who died of an overdose. He hasn’t said a word about Henry Nowak, the British kid who was stabbed to death by an Indian man in his country. Henry drowned in his own blood, and Kier can’t be bothered to even give his condolences.

@DailyMail Targeted, lured, gang raped at knifepoint while they filmed it and laughed while they took turns. One of the girls said "All I want to do is die, I no longer have fear for when that comes" If anyone hadn't realised yet, girls just don't matter in the UK Devastating injustice

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

@London_W4 There’s a good chance that it will come back to life.. I’ve had water in an iPad.

Thought my iPad had survived today, but looks like it hasn’t. The final straw. Good night.

@drgurner @Kekius_Sage Surely we should all be naturally healthy?

@Kekius_Sage Good health.

What do you think is the ultimate privilege in society?

@London_W4 Urgh .. sorry.

@SamSomers26 It’s dead. Trust me

I know you like to keep abreast of my adventures so today I have excelled myself. I’ve come to Woodbridge in Suffolk to spend a few days on my sailing boat that I bought a few weeks ago. Packed loads of stuff. Bought a secondhand dinghy from the local boat sales place here, rowed out to my boat and the dinghy started sinking. Slowly at first and then boom, it was gone and me and all of my stuff were in the water. I had my very heavy backpack on. The duvet managed to wrap itself around my left arm and body and was pulling me down. At this point I thought I was going to drown. I managed to somehow free myself from it and swim to my sailing boat and reach up and cling on. Anyone who knows boats however, knows that you cannot pull yourself up out of the water. So there I was clinging on to my boat, backpack still on and wondering how long it would be before my arms gave way and things got even worse. Well, the world’s most wonderful bloke in a rib saw me and sped over. He got my backpack off and I got into his boat. He saved my life. Back on dry land and I assessed the damage. My Fujifilm xpro3 is deceased. Totally filled with water. Various other electronic items are destroyed. That involuntary swim has cost me thousands of pounds and no, there is no insurance I can claim from. I’ve lost it. The dinghy should never have been sold. If I’d had more experience I’d probably have realised that before getting in it. At least he’s refunded me the purchase price! So I’m sat in soaking wet clothes in the sunshine outside a pub now. I’ve booked a hotel and I’m going to have a glass of wine. Or two. Or three and reflect on an exciting Thursday. Just not exciting in the way I’d hoped. P.s. I’m sure there are those who will wonder whether I made parts of this story up. Well I didn’t. It’s exactly as I’ve told it. It was actually worse than I’ve told it. So I’m poorer and somewhat fed up about that. Anyway, cheers 🥂

@elonmusk @heath6789 @TRobinsonNewEra @Keir_Starmer The government and media are so very broken

@TRobinsonNewEra @Keir_Starmer Has Starmer even mentioned the poor English boy who was murdered at all?

This was @Keir_Starmer for multi felon George Floyd who died of a drug overdose in the USA. He hasn't even mentioned Henry Nowak!

@RyanShorthouse She deserves every ounce of derision that he threw at her.. they have treated us worse

And she was right to. He swore at her, shouted at her and interrupted her. He was rude.

@AvonandsomerRob Ben and Jerrys.. who wants a lecture with ice cream

Have you ever BOYCOTTED a company or product because of their politics?

@mattleese101 @LeeHarris Horribly Misogynistic comment.. are you an Incel?

@SamSomers26 @LeeHarris Much like the Clacton Clitoris

If Reform win the Makerfield byelection and Andy Burnham's leadership dreams are smashed to pieces by a patriotic local lad working as a plumber... It will be GLORIOUS. And I don't think I will ever stop laughing.

@monkeygoing2 @reformparty_uk Who cares…

@SamSomers26 @reformparty_uk The far right are still the far-right, regardless of whether they object to being called it

Local man Robert Kenyon is our candidate for the Makerfield by-election. Only Reform UK can beat Labour. ✅

@BoCLFC15 @London_W4 Ah sorry.. 👍🏻

@SamSomers26 @London_W4 And you don’t understand a playfully ribbing reply?Maybe a😂would have helped at the end🤷‍♂️

Thought you’d like a quick history tour of the pub I’ve just had a Coca Cola in. The Newman Arms which has a fascinating history and I walk down murderer’s alley into what used to be part of St Giles Rookery, an enormous London slum in early 1800s.

@AndyBurnhamGM You Cynical, lying arsehole.. you are using them to get the PM job, nothing more.

I am proud and humbled to have been selected as Labour’s candidate for Makerfield. These proud working-class communities represent the very best values of our country and they deserve so much better. It would be my honour to work for them every day, if elected as their MP, to achieve that. Many people here feel Westminster isn’t working for them and they are right. I am standing to change that and get the voice of these communities heard loud and clear. I am glad that this by-election has finally put the places that make up the Makerfield constituency into the national spotlight. They have been neglected by national politics for too long. It is a good thing that all political parties are now on the hook to tell the voters here what they are going to do for them. More than anything, people need life to be more affordable again. As Mayor, I have brought in changes which are helping, such as the £2 fare cap, free bus travel for our 16-18 year-olds and removing the 9.30am restriction from older and disabled people’s bus passes. But there is only so much I can do from Greater Manchester. If elected, I will have a relentless focus on reducing people’s everyday costs and bills and well as securing the investment these communities need. I have been an elected representative in Greater Manchester for 25 years. Throughout that time, I have fought for the people of the North West of England on so many fronts. I am now ready to bring the whole weight of that experience to fighting for the communities of the Makerfield constituency and would be privileged to be given that opportunity.

@BoCLFC15 @London_W4 You don’t understand British Gallows humour? I was only a few hundred yards away from the bus bomb and it sounded like builders tipping bricks down a chute into a skip.. then the sirens all summer.. the Tube bomb was equally close

@SamSomers26 @London_W4 I think you could have worded that a bit better to be honest.

@monkeygoing2 @reformparty_uk We are all well past your silly name calling.. don’t you realise that?

@reformparty_uk A: He's a neo-Nazi x.com/i/status/20567…

@TomK_Brit1993 Controlled but a willing participant

Do you think Keir Starmer is in charge of his own actions, or do you think he's being controlled from behind the scenes?
