@MrPitbull07 So now the double bluff. live cameras should have dummy pigeons with fake bird crap

Marcus Reilly noticed it first. Every morning, pigeons roosted on the security cameras outside First Continental Bank's downtown Portland branch. Not near them. *On* them. Directly on the housings, unbothered. Real cameras emit a faint heat signature. Birds avoid them. Marcus, a retired electrician, mentioned it to a city inspector friend over beers. She filed a query. The audit revealed that nine of the branch's twelve exterior cameras were hollow plastic decoys - had been since a 2019 renovation contractor pocketed the installation budget. The contractor faced fraud charges totaling $340,000. The bank quietly replaced every camera within a week. The pigeons haven't come back.

@BROKENBRITAIN0 Mandy didn't need a job for £160k per year Starmer didn't need to give him that job. There had to be a bigger playbook . The risk reward was too great to force the appointment through for 160k pa. Meanwhile....... .......Mc Sweeny lost his phone near Dolphin Square 🤔

🚨NEW: Peter Mandelson was paid MILLIONS by a dodgy Chinese company 🇬🇧 It has been revealed that WuXi Apptec, a Shanghai listen company that was named as a “company of concern” by America, paid Mandelson over £2.24 MILLION, topping their list of biggest clients. The plot thickens….

@TheCanaryUK @JustBarold Water cannons would save time

Shocking scenes in Manchester as police use horses and pepper spray to repress the anti-racists - while far-right Britain First are free to march through one of the most cities in the UK, without recourse. WTF???

So let me get this straight, Keir Stalmer and Emanuel Macron did absolutely nothing the last 6 weeks.... NOW they want to send military to help with the Strait of Hormuz. After America did everything and won. What an absolute joke these two are.

@DPJHodges I feel sorry for Larry, the cat. Does Starmer know Larry lives at number 10

This morning Starmer was on television saying "No one in Downing Street knew Mandelson failed his vetting". It's now becoming clear literally everyone in Downing Street knew except Keir Starmer himself.

@kent_police 👏 👏

Hi @stwater please can you tell me why you have closed the entire road by our pub, completely blocking access, for a hole which is on the pavement with absolutely no sign of any work men on site? We have one customer in our pub on a Friday!! As if it’s not hard enough for pubs!!

@aquitainexox He employed someone who'd been fired twice

He’s FURIOUS he wasn’t told and he’s so angry he could crush a grape! Billy Bullshitter wants full transparency 🙄 #RESIGN

@PippaCrerar What filth does Mandy have on Starmer? Must be juicy

NEW: Yvette Cooper and her office only became aware that Peter Mandelson had failed security vetting when approached by the Guardian on Thursday, I’m told. The foreign secretary then spent evening in FCDO and Downing Street with the PM where she spoke to Sir Olly Robbins. They concluded he could no longer continue in post. It means that Cooper, Lammy, McSweeney, Mandelson and the PM himself all now saying they had no clue.
