Pam Luongo bought six plastic flamingos at a garage sale in March 2019. She stuck them along her front walkway in Beaufort, South Carolina, and forgot about them. By September, seventeen real flamingos were standing in her yard. Wildlife officials couldn't explain it. Caribbean flamingos hadn't nested that far north in recorded history. A biologist from Clemson set up cameras. The birds were landing at dusk, tucking their heads, and sleeping between the plastic ones like they'd found family. Pam started leaving out shallow pans of brine shrimp. By 2021, the flock hit forty-three. The Audubon Society designated her quarter-acre lot a protected habitat. She still mows around them.

CCTV footage reportedly shows Belov physically attacking the child and shoving her to the ground. We all Remember the 12-year old Scottish Child in Dundee who was viciously condemned, branded a thug, and dragged through the mud for daring to hold an axe and knife while confronting an Adult Man? Well, the case is now unfolding in court and the details paint a far less convenient picture for the virtue signallers. It appears the Bulgarian man, Ilia Belov, repeatedly leered at the girl with vile sexual comments, telling the 12-year-old “Come here sexy. I will show you how to have a good time.” He had been sexually harassing her and her friends (aged 12-14) at a bus stop, and when they pushed back, he escalated by assaulting them. CCTV footage reportedly shows Belov physically attacking the girl and shoving her to the ground. The terrified child only produced the weapons after being pushed and while trying to protect herself and her sister from further harm. Yet instead of reserving their outrage for a grown man sexually harassing and allegedly assaulting young girls, too many Scottish men and women quick to signal their “progressive” credentials chose to savage the scared Scottish child as some kind of dangerous little racist or troublemaker. Remember you all leapt to defend or excuse the adult aggressor, rushing to dismiss any concerns as “far right misinformation” or “racism.” Even worse were the politicians who couldn’t wait to pile on. Figures like Humza Yousaf and John Swinney eagerly dismissed early reports, accused critics of stoking fear, and lectured the public about “misinformation” all while the girls’ accounts of sexual remarks and assault were apparently being borne out in court. Their knee-jerk rush to protect the narrative over protecting Scottish children was shameful and telling. The trial continues. It will be very interesting indeed to see what sentence (if any) Belov receives and whether those who demonised a 12-year-old child ever find the decency to reflect on their own disgraceful rush to judgement, perhaps a public apology from the politicians who called the child out, wrongly.

So apart from trying to give away the Chagos islands. Recognising Palestine. 13 ministerial resignations. Showing full confidence in Morgan McSweeney, Peter Mandelson, Sue Gray and Lord Ali. Blaming the far right for an island of strangers. 16 Policy U turns and rising. Having no operable warships. Not smashing the gangs. Approving a huge Chinese embassy in London. Spending 23 seconds laying a wreath in Southport only to rush back to a drinks party. Appointing an anti Muslim hostility tsar. Raising income tax. Raising inheritance tax. Raising national insurance. Raising capital gains tax, Raising council tax. Raising value added tax. Raising mansion tax. Increasing welfare spending and the minimum wage whilst freezing tax allowances. Scrapping jury trials. The only boat he has stopped is HMS dragon from crossing the channel. What has Starmer really achieved apart from breakfast clubs and the decay of our country?

THIS IS JUDGE MAGGIE SCOTT She let child rapist Daniel Cieslak, who r*ped a 12-YEAR-OLD girl, WALK FREE from her courtroom. But guess what folks? Not only that! She gave him an ABSOLUTE DISCHARGE, despite him pleading GUILTY. She also sparked outrage by praising Algerian rapist Hamadache Hamza for settling in Britain and setting up a hairdressing business. She said that the predator deserved “credit” for overcoming his “very difficult background” to become a successful business owner in Scotland.

I think you’re missing the point somewhat. It wasn’t the models who people were having a go at but the overtly sexualised outfit that was chosen for your female athletes. As a past female elite athlete personally there is no way on earth I’d want to totter around of 4 inch heels at a long opening ceremony before I was to compete. It was an unwise choice!

Sorry to waste 29 seconds of your time, but could you just give this a listen & confirm that this is perhaps one of the most unintelligible, waffling load of meaningless guff you’ve ever heard? I’ve listened to it 3 times now, & I’ve NO idea what point he’s attempting to make…

OH DEAR The 2026 World Cup final in New Jersey will feature a "halftime show" for the first time in history. FIFA boss Gianni Infantino: "It will be the biggest in the world. It will be fantastic." Game’s gone.

@HazelAppleyard Green candidate saw it earlier on another thread I kid you not

WTF IS THAT

This is Naz Shah. Labour MP for Bradford. Naz shared a post telling victims of Pakistani-Muslim grooming gangs to “shut up for the sake of diversity.” Now, Naz is claiming that she “fought grooming gangs before anyone else.” Naz is a liar. Utterly, utterly awful woman.

Ayham Hussein, a 15-year-old boy from Iraq, was tried by the Islamic State court for the ‘crime’ of listening to music during prayer time. He was beheaded in front of a cheerful crowd. This is Sharia law!

🚨GREEN CANDIDATE: Mohammad Suleman. Newcastle Greens Arthurs Hill candidate is a director of Fenham Properties Ltd.. convicted for environmental vandalism. In Dec 2024 his firm burned waste in a skip at Grade II listed Pendower Hall to “cut costs”. Council prosecuted: illegal waste disposal + operating without environmental permit. Suleman admitted the offences. Company fined £8,500+ in June 2025. Still their candidate for May 2026. The Green Party … self-proclaimed champions of the environment … happily fielding a candidate whose company was guilty of illegal burning and pollution. Peak hypocrisy from the environmentalists.

We travelled to central Nigeria to investigate claims that Christians are being targeted in deadly attacks. In one community, described as a “village of widows”, almost every woman had lost her husband. Many blamed armed Fulani fighters — from a predominantly Muslim ethnic group — and said they were targeted because of their faith. Others say the violence is also driven by land and resources. The Nigerian president visited the region last week and vowed to stop the killings. His government has previously denied that the violence is religiously motivated. So is this about religious persecution or something more complex? A warning this special report contains images of graphic injuries and extremely harrowing descriptions of violence. You can watch the full film on our YouTube channel.

Astonishingly, I'm told that Ash Regan's motion to make the next Holyrood election a de facto referendum on independence was defeated by *125 votes to 1*. That is, every single SNP MSP in the chamber voted against it, despite it still officially being party policy.

One of the more sinister aspects of the SNP is how they have politicised and corrupted the charity sector, heavily supporting charities that comply with their narrative. This charity has received £13m of taxpayers’ money.

The Greens are nearly beyond parody.

That's not the reason you SAID you did it, lads.
