David Davis MP@DavidDavisMP·
This case strikes me as extraordinary, both for the police behaviour and judge's apparent direction to the jury. Carrying an 8" knife is illegal with very limited exceptions which do not include "self defence". The Criminal Justice Act makes that plain, and the Sentencing Council says in terms "carrying a knife or other weapon for protection is not a lawful reason. " The Attorney General should be reviewing both this case and the case of the two teenage rapists ASAP. I don't know what is happening with our justice system at the moment, and I am not alone in that concern. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

We defeated the Romans. Julius Caesar’s expeditions in 55–54 BC were repelled by British tribes, weather, and fierce resistance. Though the Romans later returned, that early defiance showed the island’s warrior spirit that would never be fully broken. We defeated the Vikings. Alfred the Great and the Anglo-Saxon kings halted the Great Heathen Army, winning at Edington in 878 and Brunanburh in 937. They reclaimed the land and forged a unified England. We defeated the Danes. Later Danish incursions, including Sweyn II’s attacks in 1069–70, were driven back or contained. These victories strengthened our identity and naval awareness.We defeated the Norwegians. King Harold Godwinson crushed Harald Hardrada’s invasion at the Battle of Stamford Bridge in 1066 in one of the most decisive victories of the Viking Age. We defeated the French. Prince Louis (future Louis VIII of France) invaded in 1216–17 but was forced out. Repeated French attempts during the Hundred Years’ War all failed thanks to English resolve and growing naval power. We defeated the Spanish. In 1588 we destroyed the Spanish Armada with superior seamanship, fireships, and the help of the famous English weather. This victory made England a true naval power. We defeated the Dutch. During the Anglo-Dutch Wars, major invasion threats never succeeded in conquering England. Our navy grew stronger from these rivalries. We defeated the French (again). All 18th-century invasion plans and Napoleon’s massive preparations (1803–1805) were stopped cold by the Royal Navy, especially at Trafalgar in 1805. We defeated the Germans. Hitler’s Operation Sea Lion in 1940 was cancelled after the RAF won the Battle of Britain. We stood alone and refused to fall. From these repeated victories, England and Britain secured our island home. That security and our unmatched navy allowed us to build the British Empire the largest the world has ever seen, covering a quarter of the Earth’s land surface and ruling over 450 million people. We brought roads, railways, law, education, medicine, and trade to vast parts of the world while creating enormous wealth at home. Out of that strength and safety came an explosion of English ingenuity that changed human history: The steam engine (James Watt) The spinning jenny, water frame and power loom The railway and modern locomotive Penicillin The telephone The World Wide Web (Tim Berners-Lee) Radar, the jet engine, and countless more We didn’t just survive invaders we defeated them, built a global empire, and invented the modern world. Be proud to be English. Your ancestors were unbreakable. Their blood, courage and genius still run in your veins today. Stand tall. This is your history.

@RmSalih If this was a meritocratic nation, islam would not have to rely on laws such as the Equality Act 2010, ECHR, Communications Act 2003 and others to protect it from market forces.

If Islam spreads throughout the UK by a natural process of birth rates and conversion, what's wrong with that? We live in a country where a marketplace of ideas exists. So if the best idea wins how could anyone object? This is allegedly a meritocratic nation where the cream rises to the top. If the people choose Islam that would be a profoundly democratic choice.

In ancient Athens — the so-called Golden Age of Western culture — playwrights turned Odysseus, Homer's clever hero, into a scheming villain. Sophocles made him a cynical opportunist. Euripides made him cruel. Virgil called him the "inventor of wickedness." Dante put Odysseus in Hell and denied him his homecoming entirely.

@BladeoftheS Temperatures don't completely rely on equatorial proximity. Wind, height, sea currents and angle of the earth to the sun all affect things.

A reminder as the UK will be 35C for the next two days during what is still spring, we are far closer to the North Pole than the equator and if we are regularly having dangerously hot days. Imagine what it is like for almost everybody else who have it far worse.

As the UK hits 35C it is hitting 55C in India, just a few Centigrade from causing instant death. This is the most heavily populated country on the planet with 1.47 billion people. More than all of North America and Europe combined. Imagine if they all have to leave.

@RupertLowe10 Cancel pension credit, the payment made to those who don't have a full 35 years of NICs and have no other income. NICs are paid by those working and credited to those in receipt of most benefits, so the only people now qualifying for pension credit are immigrants.

I think unless all patriotic voters unite behind Reform in Makerfield then Andy Burnham will win, call an early snap general election and put Britain under a hard left government until 2031. If you don’t want this to happen then vote Reform. mattgoodwin.org/p/a-prediction…

@OrevaZSN No. Crime still exists in rich countries and wealthy people still commit crime. If you eliminate the factor of want, you still have the factors of envy (all socialists) and greed (some capitalists). What causes crime is a lack of community. People don't steal or harm friends.

You reduce crime by eliminating poverty. The reason so called nice neighborhoods have lower crime rates is because people’s basic needs are being met. It is not because of police, alarm systems, or neighborhood associations. Poverty creates crime.

🇬🇧 Judge William Mousley KC has directed the jury that Digwa can be considered for an alternative charge of manslaughter in relation to the death of Henry Nowak. Although Nowak sustained a fatal stab wound to the chest, Judge Mousley said: "if a person may not have deliberately caused the fatal injury or may not have intended to kill or cause really serious harm, he or she is not guilty of murder."

Richard Sanders@PulaRJS·
Reform is proposing the deportation of 2 million people - including people legally here. "Politically it feels quite clever doesn't it," says Trevor Phillips, and leads a discussion that revolves entirely around whether it is affordable and practical. These are people who sweep our streets, look after disabled people, keep the care sector functioning. People who work incredibly hard and are invariably very badly paid. People who have families, lives, hopes, dreams. Without whom the economy simply wouldn't function. This country has arrived at an appalling place.
