As Part Of The ‘New Era’ Of NHS Healthcare, Hundreds Of Thousands Of Patients Will Be Treated At Home On ‘Virtual Wards’

The NHS has heralded a ‘new era’ of healthcare that will see hundreds of thousands of patients treated at home to avoid lengthy hospital stays.

From September, 10,000 patients a day will be cared for on ‘virtual wards’, using wearable devices that allow doctors to monitor their vital signs remotely.

Health chiefs believe the expansion of the scheme, already the largest in the world, will free up hospital capacity and prevent another winter A&E crisis.

Every NHS region has set up virtual wards for frail over 65s, including dementia patients, and for respiratory conditions such as asthma or lung disease.

From this month the scheme will cover under 18s, allowing terminally ill children to stay at home with their families.

Amanda Pritchard, the NHS chief executive, said that their world-leading virtual wards programme marked a new era of NHS care and was a prime example of how the NHS has embarked on the latest technology and innovation to meet patients’ needs over the last 75 years.

She said research showed that people who were treated at home recovered at the same rate or faster than those treated in a hospital with the added benefit of being able to be with their loved ones or carers.

A newspaper outlet reported last year how the NHS intends to expand the ‘hospital at home’ scheme to treat 25,000 patients a day by next March.

Unfortunately, virtual wards will go with virtual doctors and nurses, and thousands of people will die needlessly, no doubt because they consider us irritating patients and we seem such a nuisance to the health care system.

Once upon a time we used to have community nursing staff, but that dwindled off gradually. Now we’ll all be sitting at home connected to smart devices while the NHS staff twiddle their thumbs, but our National Insurance contributions won’t go down, in fact, they’ll probably ask for more money.

Next, we’ll be having do-it-yourself prostate examinations.

Virtual healing, I mean, what could possibly go wrong?

Virtual wards so that when you die in your own home the statistics show that fewer people are dying in hospital.

There is, of course, no doubt that patients heal much better at home in their own environment, and recovering at home might be good in some instances, but not all instances. Those patients will have to meet certain criteria, like having somebody at home with them, and access gained easily if the patient has to be brought back into the hospital speedily, but of course, this won’t be the case as the NHS attempt to cut corners, but we all know that when corners are cut, catastrophic problems occur, and this sounds wonderful, but thousands of OAPs don’t have a PC or a smartphone, but who cares anyway!

I guess that if you’re in your own home, you might not pick up those nasty infections you seem to pick up in hospitals, but then people’s homes aren’t always sanitary enough to be hospital wards, and how are they going to administer medicine drips and tests? Perhaps you’ll get a virtual one and pretend medicine.

The concept sounds promising, but it will fail, due to the fact that the money needed to finance and run it will ultimately run out or get cut at some stage, or the medical equipment and tech support will prove too costly.

Even pacemakers are Bluetooth enabled and monitored remotely by the hospital cardio team. I guess it saves people from having to go for regular checkups, but if they were to be hacked, we might have numerous people with pacemakers dead on the streets or in their homes.

Virtual anything is virtual insanity!

An Innocent Man Was Wrongly Imprisoned For 17 Years

An innocent man who was wrongly jailed for 17 years for a crime he didn’t commit faces having to pay for prison ‘board and lodging’ as he blasted his ‘kidnappers’. 

Andrew Malkinson, now 57, on Wednesday finally won a 20-year battle to clear his name after he was in 2003 given a life sentence with a minimum term of seven years, after being found guilty of raping a woman in Greater Manchester.

Andrew Malkinson is now living on benefits but could be in line for up to £1 million in compensation for his wrongful conviction, but his lawyers warned their client may be waiting years, and the victim of the miscarriage of justice was additionally outraged by the possibility that he would have to pay for the ‘torture’ he suffered for nearly 20 years and that the substantial totality of his compensation might be deducted to be repaid to the prison, HMP Frankland, for food and accommodation expenses.

Mr Malkinson served ten more years because he maintained his innocence, but his conviction was quashed by senior judges at the Court of Appeal on Wednesday after DNA evidence linking another man to the crime came to light.

Charity Appeal, who took on the case, said it took Greater Manchester Police (GMP) to court twice to obtain evidence which had been withheld from the defence at Mr Malkinson’s original trial.

They also accused the force of unlawfully destroying critical evidence connected to the case.

Mr Malkinson told the BBC World at One that the rules around financial claims for wrongful imprisonment were ‘kind of sick’.

The rules were introduced by judges relating to the case of men who were wrongly convicted of the murder of paperboy Carl Bridgewater in 1978.

A 2007 decision by the House of Lords, which was at the time the UK’s highest court, said that cousins Vincent and Michael Hickey, who were freed by the Court of Appeal after their convictions were found to be flawed, said that their compensation should be decreased.

Michael Hickey was awarded £1.02 million and his cousin got £550,000 but both of their awards were lowered by a quarter as they hadn’t had to pay for living expenses while in custody. The law lords’ ruling was backed by the European Court of Human Rights after an appeal.

The Justice Secretary will also be integral to the decision of whether or not Mr Malkinson receives compensation, a maximum of £1 million for someone who’s been falsely incarcerated for ten years or longer.

Our legal system is a joke if they expect this man to pay for a prison sentence they implemented, but if you’re a migrant then you get everything for free.

They can take it out of the many millions they earn to pay this man for unlawful imprisonment, and for every year that he spent in there.

Send the bill to the Greater Manchester police, and let them pay for his lodgings.

This man should be paid at least 17 million for lost earnings and a life destroyed because even though he’s been found not guilty, this stigma will follow him around for the rest of his life, but to be honest, no amount of money will ever make up for the massive blunder that was made, but I’d just want to bleed the force dry for a false conviction.

So, it is true, the UK has become a madhouse run by the wokery, and this man will now find it difficult to find work and he will have people taking advantage of him, his whole life has gone to pot, the compensation needs to be extremely high because he spent time in prison for no reason at all, apart from the fact that the police were either inept or corrupt.

Mama Bear And Her Cub Take A Hot Tub Dip In California

Americans are looking for ways to combat the sweltering weather during one of the hottest heatwaves in years and it looks like animals are attempting to do the same.

A homeowner in Southern California caught a momma bear and her baby taking a dip in her pool to try and keep cool.

The wholesome moment happened on Wednesday afternoon at around 1.45 pm when temperatures reached highs of 91 degrees.

The footage was captured of the brown bears splashing around in the outdoor pool together.

A sizzling heatwave is presently gripping states in the Midwest, Northeast, and South and the heightened temperatures are set to continue this week, meteorologists have revealed.

A video clip, obtained by KTLA, shows a baby bear splashing around in the water before the momma bear comes into the frame and enjoys a playful interaction with her cub.

The two are seen playfighting on the side of the pool before the momma bear dips her front paws in.

She then jumps in and causes a large body of water to spew out of the pool.

The two bears are then seen briefly playing in the water before the baby gets out and runs out of the frame.

Bear sightings are said to be more common as the summer months heat up as people spend more time outdoors.

The National Park Service recommends keeping distance from bears, avoiding sudden movements that could surprise an animal, or hiding and scaring it.

They said that one should pay attention to their surroundings and make a special effort to be noticeable if you’re in an area with known bear activity or a good food source, such as berry bushes.

Bear attacks are rare. Most will only strike if they feel intimidated, to protect their cubs or to protect food.

The largest electric grid operator in the US issued a level one emergency alert on Wednesday, raising the spectre of its 65 million customers facing possible blackouts during a searing heatwave.

PJM Interconnection says it presently hopes to have sufficient power to meet the usual summertime demands.

Bosses there say they also have reserve capacity to meet additional demand, as Americans run their air conditioners to cool down.

In the Northeast, in states like New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Maryland, and Washington DC, highs are set to jump into the upper 90s.

This is truly adorable and brilliant that the momma bear does this for her cub, there are a lot of human parents out there that aren’t even this savvy.

However, there will be lots of hairballs blocking that filter and the water will need a fierce shock treatment. Just a small dog would be a problem, so I can’t imagine the mess after two bears, but let’s face it, everyone needs the bear necessities in life.

Profits Surge Nearly 900 Per Cent At British Gas

British Gas owner Centrica’s skyrocketing profits have been branded ‘indefensible’ as UK households continue to encounter high energy bills and cost of living pressures.

The energy giant revealed that earnings at its retail supplier business soared by almost 900 per cent as it was handed a price cap boost of about £500 million.

Centrica said underlying earnings at its gas and electricity supply arm jumped 889 per cent to £969 million in the six months to June 30 from £98 million a year earlier.

But enraged politicians described the profits as ‘actually sickening’ and ‘unearned’, while campaigners said it was a ‘future sign of Britain’s broken energy system’.

Shareholders were celebrating though, with Centrica’s stock price up 7 per cent after the firm proposed a 33 per cent annual increase in its interim dividend.

It comes four months after Centrica chief executives Chris O’Shea was given a £4.49 million pay package, which included £790,000 in pay plus £3.7 million in bonuses.

And that followed accusations that agents working for British Gas had forced their way into the homes of the poor and vulnerable to fit costly pre-payment meters.

Centrica said that it recouped £500 million of losses seen a year earlier after it was buoyed by Ofgem’s price cap in the first half of this year when customers saw their typical annual bills limited to £2,500 under the Energy Price Guarantee.

Overall, Centrica swung to a £6.5 billion operating profit in the first six months of 2023 against operating losses of £1.1 billion a year earlier. On an underlying basis, operating profits increased to £2.1 billion from £1.3 billion a year ago.

Energy firms saw their supplier profit margins hit last year when wholesale prices were sent soaring by Russia’s attack on Ukraine, but the price cap protected customers’ bills from the worst of the rises.

Ed Miliband, Labour’s shadow net zero secretary, told BBC Breakfast that what most people will recognise is good luck to these companies if they make profits, but these are unearned, unexpected profits.

The secretary said this was because Russia launched an appalling invasion of Ukraine and drove gas prices up, and the only long-term answer to this was to move off fossil fuels as quickly as they can because even though they imported very small amounts from Russia before the war, they’ve been so badly affected as a country.

It was added that was why the drive to increase onshore wind, solar energy, and offshore wind, cheaper than fossil fuels, was the right answer for the country, and the regret was not just that they don’t have a proper windfall tax, they don’t have a Government committed to that green sprint either.

The fact is, we don’t have a cost of living crisis, we have a greed crisis.

This is theft and British Gas is involved in daylight robbery.

I suppose that’s the nature of capitalism. Maximise profits and growth by any means necessary. This isn’t an endorsement of communism but our present economic models only benefit the mega-rich, while the average person struggles to attain the basics in life, where does it end?

And it appears that now companies can act with impunity and charge what they want and there’s nothing anyone can or will do – it’s a gravy train, and what will Brits do about it, nothing! They’ll just whine about it, emit a few tut-tuts and sit back and take it.

Margaret Thatcher and the Tories sold off all our utilities to the highest bidder. Whoever thought this was going to end well needed their head testing.

This is a deliberate transfer of wealth because once the elites have destroyed the middle class, then all that’s left are the obscenely wealthy despots and the extremely poor who are desperate – is this a coincidence, well that’s for the masses to determine.

‘Ghost Children’ Who Quit School After COVID

A think tank study has warned that a ‘tidal wave of youth crime’ will hit Britain if action isn’t taken to reverse a post-COVID surge in school absence.

The Centre for Social Justice has identified a generation of ‘ghost children’, those who are set to be persistently absent in their last year of school if present absence rates aren’t addressed.

This risks an additional 9,000 extra young offenders, including 2,000 more violent criminals, by 2027 if left unresolved, the think tank discovered.

.

They concentrated their study on students projected to leave school in Year 11 in 2025, a so-called ‘lost generation’ who started secondary school just as COVID lockdowns hit.

The CSJ, which was set up by ex-Tory leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith, warned of a £100 million a year cost to the taxpayer from soaring youth criminality related to school absence.

Their recent report said that rates of school absence have soared since the first COVID lockdown in 2020.

The number of persistently absent pupils, those missing more than 10 per cent of school time, increased to 32 per cent in 2022 among Year 11 pupils, up from 16 per cent just before the pandemic.

The number of persistently absent pupils increased by over 800,000 since 2019 to 1.7 million last autumn.

It’s also been shown that the number of severely absent pupils, those missing more than half of their school time, has more than doubled since 2019.

The CSJ analysis of Department for Education and Ministry of Justice research found persistently absent pupils are three times as likely to commit an offence by age 17 than pupils fully attending school.

The think tank is calling for ministers to ‘radically upscale’ their response to school absence, including a national rollout of ‘attendance mentors’ to tackle the underlying cause of absence.

Andy Cook, chief executive of the Centre for Social Justice, said that the Government needs to take absence seriously if they were to stop a lost generation of children suffering the consequence of lockdown for decades to come.

He said that alongside stunting academic attainment, children with a history of school absence were three times more likely to commit an offence than those who routinely attended school.

He added that for the sake of these children’s future, and for the safety of our streets, the government must stop tinkering around the edges and accelerate the national rollout of attendance mentors, ensuring all children benefit from an education that sets them up for life.

However, it would be a good idea if schools actually focused on teaching real-life skills.

Kids effectively missed a year and a half of school, and it’s been hard work ever since trying to get some of these kids back into school, and teachers striking hasn’t helped a great deal. Just one of the many reasons why the lockdown cure was more destructive than the disease.

But it’s not just COVID, the public school system is broken.

So many children leave primary school so full of hope and confidence for secondary school, only to have their spirits and identity destroyed by a system that only cares about the highest performing students and wants every child to be a robot.

It’s all ridiculous with their heavy-handed regulations and targets, with too much homework and very little support to learn, and it’s not surprising that so many kids don’t want to be there anymore. The system is broken and it’s heartbreaking.

Schooling now only recognises academic achievement and bombards kids with a daily practice of social conditioning that so many find unnatural, so you can appreciate why many see no real-life benefit to being there.

It Wasn’t Until His Children Were 10 That Sir Keir Starmer Let Them Eat Meat

Sir Keir Starmer has admitted he didn’t let his children eat meat until they were 10 years old.

The Labour leader, a pescatarian, said he and his vegetarian wife Victoria didn’t have meat or fish in the house when they were raising their son and daughter.

At the age of about 10 years old, they told their son he could do what he liked, and he immediately started eating KFC and McDonald’s.

However, he told the Table Manners podcast, hosted by pop singer Jessie Ware and her mother Lennie, that the couple’s daughter has still never eaten meat or fish.

Sir Keir Starmer has spoken previously about becoming vegetarian 25 years ago, before reintroducing fish to his diet.

He said he found avoiding seafood ‘too much’, but described his wife as a ‘proper vegetarian’.

He said that he still struggles because he loves meat and that if you give up fish or meat on a matter of principle you still hanker after it.

The couple’s son is now aged 15, while their daughter is 12, and describing their parenting, Sir Keir Starmer said that they don’t have meat or fish in the house, they don’t cook it, and until his children were about 10 years old they were just eating with them.

He added that at the age of 10, they said that they could do what they liked and their boy said great and the moment they go out there’s a Deliveroo for Kentucky Fried Chicken or McDonald’s.

So, their son has taken full, sort of, liberty with the licence to do what he likes. However, Sir Keir Starmer said his daughter has never in her life tasted meat or fish, and when Lennie Ware challenged Sir Keir Starmer that many vegetarians cook meat for their children, he replied that they never did.

The Labour leader also insisted the family has no problem if their son wants to order non-vegetarian meals when they dine out.

But of course, this is another day, another bandwagon for Sir Keir Starmer as he attempts to get veggies to vote Labour. There really can’t be many minority and special interest groups left for him to target.

Sir Keir Starmer really does come across as a very weak, indecisive and ineffectual individual, and surely if his son wanted to eat meat, his parents should have provided healthier alternatives other than junk food.

The man’s bonkers and did he really try using his children to make him look more interesting? And isn’t that a form of conditioning to deny your child all food groups for idealistic reasons?

Most of us don’t even care about Sir Keir Starmer’s kids and definitely don’t get up in the morning thinking, ‘I wonder what Starmer’s kids are doing today or what they’re eating’.

What we do care about is the boats, inflation, lowering taxes, creating investment and jobs and all those other tedious things that impact everyday normal people that are the backbone and lifeblood of this country, and if everyone downed their tools and never went into work for a week, this country would come to a standstill and so would our so-called Government.

RIP Sinead O’Connor, A Fearless And Vulnerable Woman

Those tears, those two tears that ran down her cheeks, signalled the arrival on the world stage, not just of a singer but of an artist, a woman whose whole life experience was funnelled into her songs.

We don’t know what or who Sinead O’Connor was thinking of when we watched the video of Nothing Compares 2 U, but we immediately recognised authenticity.

With her head almost completely shaved, her waif-like susceptibility found its flawless match in a song about heartbreak, and the world couldn’t take its eyes off her.

Over the years, that vulnerability alternated with fierce bravery, and both sides of Sinead O’Connor were equally mesmerising.

We mourned with her when she endured pain, and we cheered her on when misfortune came calling and met defiance when it expected surrender, and when her son Shane took his own life at just 17, in 2022, we cried when she cried and wanted to embrace her when she was at her most broken.

It’s a measure of the special affection in which she was held that her death yesterday struck such a chord. It felt like a whole world had gone with her, a world of her own making and one in which her integrity was the only compass she followed.

There were many times she could have taken an easier path, but that would have been too easy. Honesty wasn’t something she acquired, it was built into the very fabric of her being, and she couldn’t ignore it, even if she wanted to.

When she ripped up a photograph of Pope John Paul II on Saturday Night Live in the United States in 1992, and in protest at the first Gulf War, refused to play a festival gig in New Jersey if the US national anthem preceded her appearance, she experienced naked hostility on a level unseen by many artists.

Frank Sinatra, who played the following night, said that he’d like to kick her in the ass, but Sinead, unapologetic as always, said that she couldn’t hit him back because he was like 78 years of age and she’d probably kill him.

Both incidents effectively ended her mass-market career across the Atlantic, but her creativity still thrived, and unapologetic and unbowed, she lived her life on her own terms, musically, romantically, and religiously.

There were times it was difficult to keep up. She married four times and had other significant relationships, and had four children, the first in 1987. She was ordained as a Tridentine priest of the Latin rite, Mother Mary Bernadette, but later converted to Islam.

It’s terribly sad that she’s died. She had the most amazing voice and she was way too young to die.

She was courageous and had incredible talent, and that must have been extremely difficult to live with. She was a tortured soul and now finally rests in peace.

Sinead O’Connor was a force to be reckoned with, but sadly the world hates such strong and powerful women, now she will rest in peace and fly high with her darling son Shane.

Her songs made us face the unpalatable truth, and she challenged the system. Stardom was not her God, and she was too genuine to fit in, and it’s distasteful that when this troubled woman was alive, the media were always less than kind towards her and now that she’s no longer with us, they’ve done a quick u-turn and are now showering praises on her. She lived by her own rules and there’s nothing wrong with that – perhaps some of us should take a leaf out of her book?

I must confess I never liked the song Nothing Compares 2 U, it was a song you could slit your throat to, but I’m guessing it had a lot of meaning to Sinead O’Connor at the time, and now hopefully she’s up there with God singing her little heart out. May your God go with you!

Are You Paying A Premium For Your Essentials?

It was revealed that supermarkets are charging up to 100 per cent more than competitors for the same item from Mr Kipling cakes to Pizza Express pizzas.

Other products found to have large price differences between retailers, such as Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Asda, include Nescafe coffee jars and Cadbury mini rolls.

The data puts the emphasis on customers to shop around for the best deals and sign up for grocers’ loyalty schemes such as Nectar and Clubcard for more affordable prices.

It comes after customers discovered a £2.17 difference for the exact pack of Mr Kipling Angel Slices which cost £4.15 at Waitrose but £1.98 at Asda, where they were on sale.

Research by a newspaper outlet looked at a further handful of products, some of which have been highlighted by social media users stunned by the price differences.

One of the biggest variations can be found with the Pizza Express margherita pizza (245g). This is on sale at Sainsbury’s for £6, or £3 with a Nectar card; £5.50 at Tesco, or £2.75 with Clubcard; and £3 at Waitrose to all shoppers.

Meanwhile, a 200g jar of Nescafe Intense Gold Blend Coffee is available at Sainsbury’s for £8.10, or at Asda for £6.

And a ten-pack of Cadbury Milk Chocolate Mini Rolls is £3.95 at Sainsbury’s or £2.95 at Co-Op.

A six-pack of Mr Kipling Cherry Bakewells is £3 at Sainsbury’s compared with £1.99 at Tesco, or £1.50 with a Clubcard.

And an 880g bottle of Heinz Ketchup, sold at ’50 per cent Less Salt and Sugar’ is £4.50 at Waitrose or £4.25 at Tesco.

A newspaper outlet contacted the supermarkets with higher prices for comment and sources pointed out that comparing a limited number of products over a short time period would not give a true reflection of the price or value consumers can find.

A Tesco spokesman said that with household budgets under continued pressure, they remained absolutely focused on providing great value for their customers and that wherever there were opportunities to pass on savings to their customers they would do so, and earlier this month they cut the price of more than 500 household essentials.

A Sainsbury’s spokesman said that they were acutely aware of the pressures facing millions of households right now and their number one priority continued to be doing all they could to keep prices low for their customers.

Before the cost of living crisis, some people would sneer at people using Lidl and Aldi (peasant stores), but now they have no choice but to use them because they can’t afford to shop in major supermarkets because they’re exploiting the current situation and treating the public for fools.

And the birth rate has gone down dramatically because those of breeding age don’t want any children because of uncertainty, and those that do work and might have degrees might only have one child.

There’s been a downward decline in future prospects for an extremely long time, and people that want to buy a home can’t because they don’t have enough collateral or just get gazumped, so why would anyone want to bring a child into this world where they can’t provide for that child because of the state of the economy?

Yet the government is letting migrants into this country and they get everything given to them on a plate, but if we ask for anything, we’re told to take a hike, so I don’t blame people for not having children, knowing the struggles that they will encounter.

Joanna Toole’s Father Celebrates A Historic Victory Four Years After She And Six Other British Passengers Died On Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302

From early childhood, Joanna Toole enjoyed keeping rats in the bedroom of her home in Exmouth, Devon. She said they were extremely intelligent and made good pets.

Other animals she kept included hamsters, a rabbit, two giant African land snails and pigeons, which she trained to fly home.

At secondary school, she discovered some boys tossing stones at a bird’s nest in a hedge. She confronted them, and the boys made up an unkind ditty about her, which spread throughout the school.

For years afterwards, pupils would tease her with the song, but her position was clear, to save animals from unnecessary suffering, even if it meant exposing herself to harm.

When she grew up, Joanna became a consultant to the UN Food and Agriculture Unit. Her passion was ocean conservation, in particular the harm done to wildlife by discarded fishing nets. In March 2019, 36-year-old Joanna was invited to speak on the subject at the UN environment assembly in Nairobi, Kenya.

The night before she left, she had dinner with her partner, Paul, at their home in Rome. He worked at the Irish Embassy, and they’d met at a conference four years before. They were planning to move back to the United Kingdom, get married and have children.

Joanna had a short stopover in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, before resuming her journey on Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302. There were 149 passengers, from 35 countries, and eight crew members on board.

The aircraft, a Boeing 737 MAX 8, took off at 8.38 am local time on March 10. A minute and a half later, the nose of the aircraft pitched downwards. A faulty sensor had registered incorrectly that the plane was at too steep an angle and was about to stall. This had triggered new software which had automatically forced the nose down.

The captain, Yared Getachew asked what was going on, at 8.39 am, according to the cockpit voice recorder. The pilots laboured to regain control of the aircraft, but the software kicked in and pushed the nose aggressively down.

The pilots tried again. ‘Pull with me’, urged the captain to his first officer Ahmednur Mohammed, but the automated system overrode them. The recording stopped 23 seconds after the pilots’ fourth attempt.

Six minutes after take off, Flight 302 nose-dived at 175mph, crashing into farmland, near the village of Ejere, 32 miles from Addis Ababa, killing everyone on board.

Early that morning, Joanna’s father, Adrian, was at home in Devon when he heard about the crash from the BBC News website.

There’d been five planes flying that morning from Addis to Nairobi, and it took until lunchtime before her partner Paul could confirm Joanna had indeed been on the doomed flight.

Adrian said it was like the end of the world. All that promise was cut short and it just seemed so very unfair, and that it should have been him rather than his daughter.

For the past four years, Adrian, Paul and other grieving families have dedicated themselves to proving that the crash wasn’t a random accident.

It was an avoidable tragedy because Being had prioritised profit over safety, concealed critical safety issues and put the flying public at risk.

As the story unfolded the revelation was that Joanna had perished in a death trap and Boeing as yet have not faced justice.

At an inquest held in Horsham, West Sussex, earlier this month, a coroner delivered a verdict of unlawful killing in the deaths of Joanna and humanitarian workers Sam Pegram and Oliver Vick. Finally, the families had their landmark moment, they’d taken on Beoing and won.

For years, Boeing had evaded and spun, with scores of lawyers, advisers and PR fixers, but now the families had an official ruling that a crime which had led to the deaths of their loved ones had been committed.

Vincent Nichol, the solicitor representing the nine British victims said that Boeing was a behemoth, and to go up against them and get a result like this was David and Goliath feeling.

He said that after so many setbacks, Adrian is still processing the news, and at least it will be of some consolation to him, but of course, it will never bring back his daughter or the other victims that died that day.

Sadly, this is what happens when large companies put profit before the lives of people, and they should be prosecuted, but of course, that won’t bring back the people that perished on that aircraft, and unfortunately, Boeing is one of those companies ruled to be too big to fail, and thus will probably never face consequences.

Boeing knew the plan wasn’t safe and knew that their so-called solution wasn’t good enough, but rushed the aircraft into service for fear of losing business, and then attempted to accuse everyone else, greedy!

Big companies like Boeing have always put profit before people. They cobbled together a cheap solution to a problem they created with appalling engineering, and there should be some prison time for Boeing executives responsible for this avoidable tragedy, and crucially someone chose not to adequately advise the pilots of their decision – they intentionally sent everyone to their deaths in the name of greed!

A Total Of 600 Burglaries Occur Every Day That Remain Unsolved

It’s been claimed that almost 600 burglaries are going unsolved every day.

Analysis of Home Office figures by the Liberal Democrats revealed that some 213,279 police inquiries into break-ins were closed last year without a suspect being identified.

According to the Lib Dems, this amounts to 76.8 per cent of all cases across England and Wales in 2022-23, an average of 584 a day.

South Yorkshire Police was said to have the worst clear-up rate with 84.4 per cent of all recorded burglaries unsolved, followed by Hampshire (83.1) and Scotland Yard (81.6).

The Lib Dems say the drop in neighbourhood policing teams and Police Community Support Officers is to blame.

They’re also calling for a statutory guarantee that officers will investigate every domestic break-in, despite a voluntary pledge by chief constables to do so.

The party’s home affairs spokesman Alistair Carmichael said that everyone deserves to feel safe and secure in their homes, but that knowing that so many burglars are getting off scot-free will bring little comfort to our communities.

He said, make no mistake, these were the consequences of the Conservatives constantly sidelining frontline policing, and that enough was enough. The Home Secretary must finally restore proper community policing and implement a burglary response guarantee, and that it was the only way to reverse those criminally bad figures.

A Home Office spokesman said that since 2010 their communities were safer with neighbourhood crimes including burglary, robbery and theft down 51 per cent.

The spokesman said that the Home Secretary does expect to see forces getting the basics right, deterring crime but also catching more criminals.

That’s why he called for every force to send an officer to investigate the scene of every home burglary, which is now happening across the country.

The problem is, the police are too busy painting rainbow flags on cars, learning the macarena and making cups of tea for hippies, or to be fair, they’re too busy walking alongside protestors.

Sadly, criminality pays off in the United Kingdom because even when thieves get caught, they simply get released to commit more burglaries.

The police don’t want any suspects or evidence on who the burglar might be because then it would mean that they have to do some hard work, like trying to trace the offender, so numerous cases are closed before any investigation is carried out.

It actually doesn’t pay to work and have a nice home and the comforts that go with it because if it’s all going to be robbed and cause distress, you may as well leave your front door open. Perhaps they should reduce the police wages and have them work for bonuses.

The police just can’t be bothered to send someone around, take fingerprints and check the CCTV in the area. They just don’t want to do much at all, while we finance them and pay their wages and pensions.

They now don’t even bother to turn up when you report a burglary, they just give you a crime reference number, and burglary is going the way of cannabis possession, the police see it as a non-crime, but when law enforcement picks and chooses which laws to implement, then our country is in trouble, and it’s a great way to let thieves know they’re pretty safe to break into anyone’s home without any repercussions.

In the end, people will start taking things into their own hands if a thief tries breaking into their house, and this won’t end well.
