A man installed a GPS tracker on his cat to track its route while he was walking his dog. To his surprise, the cat stealthily followed him and the dog for the entire walk. cat was like "I miss you, but you don't need to know that" 😂

Trial by jury is a cornerstone of our democracy and an essential safeguard against authoritarianism. It is truly frightening that such a fundamental freedom is now under attack. Once rights are lost, they are not easy to win back. We must resist this with all we’ve got.

A new National Day will honour and remember victims and survivors of terrorism. This day strengthens our commitment to better improve support and recognition. Terrorism will never divide us. Our commitment to stand together and support each other remains stronger than ever.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge? It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

This is the London Banana. As long as you stay within the Banana, you'll have a great time in London. Almost everything outside the Banana is horrible these days, best avoid. Not clear why, or when this happened. But it is what it is.

Four months before the arrest that led to his dismissal, Lorne Castle plunged into a freezing river in the middle of the night. In the centre of the in-flood River Avon a vulnerable elderly woman clung to a small outcrop. Police regulations dictate he should not enter the water, but Mr Castle ignored the rules to wade into the ice cold torrent, stripped off his stab vest, and began swimming into the current while trying to throw a life ring to the woman as her family watched from the riverbank. “Do you know what was going through my mind at that time?” the officer told The Telegraph from his home on a quiet residential street in Bournemouth. “If I hit her with the ring, or she attempts to get it and gets dragged away I’m up for manslaughter because professional standards will tell me ‘you weren’t supposed to go in. You were trying to be a hero’. “That is the world we operate in.” Mr Castle rescued the woman from the water and was later awarded a national bravery award for his actions. Last week, after almost a decade working for Dorset Police, he was dismissed for gross misconduct for a momentary loss of self control while arresting a teenager with a knife who he “failed to treat with courtesy and respect”. The 46-year-old father of three is now facing an uncertain future. His name and picture have been published widely and he no longer feels safe in the town he has made his home for the past two decades. He said: “My wife, Denise and our daughters are now going to have to completely change our lives. I don’t know if we can still live here. “I don’t want to be looking over my shoulder all the time. Dorset Police have put a target on my back and why? To get rid of an officer for doing their job?’” Since his dismissal, teenagers have been taunting officers in the town centre where the incident took place. One serving police officer said: “Words of advice or warning would have been suitable. The state of wokeness in Dorset Police is terrifying. “Numerous officers were telling us…when they were on foot patrol in the town centre at the weekend they had hoards of youths going up to them. “[They were] getting in their faces and mocking them with lines like, ‘Ha ha I can do whatever I like and you can’t touch me now or I’ll just get you fired’.” Chris Amey, Mr Castle’s former chief inspector who has since left the force, set up a Go Fund Me page to support his former colleague, raising almost £50,000 so far. The arrest itself took place on Jan 27 2024. Mr Castle was at the end of a 10-hour shift when the call about a violent masked offender came in. Rather than ignoring it as other officers might, he responded and within minutes had apprehended the suspect. At the time, he had no idea how old the individual was. The 15-year-old he detained was suspected of assaulting an elderly man while riding an e-scooter before getting embroiled in a fight with another youth outside a McDonald’s. Earlier in the day, at the start of their shift, officers were warned that a large gang fight had taken place in the area and potential suspects were still at large. Just two years earlier, a 21-year-old teenager had been stabbed to death in the town centre by Lawangeen Abdulrahimzai, an asylum seeker and double murderer, in a row over an e-scooter. Police body-worn footage of Mr Castle’s arrest of the teenager has been released by Dorset Police in recent days, in an attempt to quell the backlash and “misinformation”. In the video, Mr Castle is seen holding the teenager on the ground while telling him to “stop screaming like a b----”. A knife can be seen falling from the youth’s pocket. A picture of the weapon obtained by The Telegraph shows it has a three-inch blade on one end and a Stanley knife on the other. The boy was not injured in the incident and was later given an out of court disposal for possession of the knife. Continued…
