A British Woman Accuses Her American Daughter-In-Law Of Xenophobia

An American woman was accused of being xenophobic after she refused to try black pudding made by her British mother in law on a visit to the United Kingdom.

The 28-year-old woman took to Reddit to ask if she’d been a jerk for turning down the black pudding, which was made from a 100-year-old family recipe and served as part of a Full English breakfast.

Black pudding’s made from pork or beef blood, with pork fat or beef suet, and a cereal, normally oatmeal, oat groats or barley groats.

The woman, who described the rest of her mother in law’s food as bland, was met with support by a vast preponderance of users, who agreed it had been wrong of the mother in law to make her feel guilty.

British users spoke up to say they’d never tried black pudding, despite being from the United Kingdom.

The woman, who described herself as Indian-American, said she’d been vegetarian until she met her husband three years ago, and they made the journey to the United Kingdom after he reconnected with his biological father, who’s British and lives there with his family.

She continued that the first day they were asked to join them for breakfast at their family home, and his dad’s wife had made all kinds of traditional foods for them and that although the food was bland, she powered through most of them because she genuinely appreciated her hard work and didn’t want her to feel bad.

However, when it was time for them to try their family favourite, she noped out of it because she didn’t want to eat black pudding, and she knew one of the ingredients was blood, and she didn’t want to eat blood and refused because it was just gross to her.

But her stepmother in law tried hard to persuade her to at least try it, as it was a 100-year-old family recipe carried down through generations, but when she didn’t budge, her stepmother in law got offended and accused her of being xenophobic.

Writing in support of the woman, one user posted that blood pudding was great, and that she believed that meat-eaters should give it a wee go, but it was hardly unusual for people to be weirded out by it.

But for someone who was once a vegetarian, to them, the Full English breakfast would be nothing short of murder on a plate, and everyone has different tastes that they will and won’t eat and it’s their preference on whether they eat it or not, and I certainly wouldn’t eat it, no matter what you call it.

However, some people love it and other people don’t but I certainly wouldn’t accuse them of xenophobia.

I’m British and I certainly wouldn’t eat it, and the mother is just ill-mannered, and it’s not xenophobic to refuse to eat something you find disagreeable. I doubt the mother would eat dogs or crickets should she find herself in a place where that’s the norm.

Black pudding is like marmite you either love it or hate it, but no one insists that you eat marmite which has been on our shelves for years, and we should be able to respectfully decline to eat anything we don’t want to eat, it doesn’t have to have a meaning or explanation behind it. If it’s done graciously, then that’s all that matters.

Bullies Post Video Of 12-Year-Old Boy On Instagram

The parents of a 12-year-old boy in Milwaukee have reacted with anger after their son was filmed by tormentors using the bathroom at school, with the video posted on Instagram.

Shameia Harris and Phil Rose told Fox News 6 that their son had been genuinely hurt by the incident at Morse Middle School, and Phil Rose said that his son felt ashamed, disrespected and almost embarrassed of what had occurred.

Shameia Harris added that she was appalled the bullies were permitted to get away with it.

The other children climbed over the stall to film the 12-year-old.

She said you expect them to be in a comfort zone, protected, and that they have too much freedom and access to things that aren’t instructional, and that she was pretty sure he wasn’t the only one that this had happened to, but that if he could be the last, that would be enough for her.

The video was uploaded to a page on Instagram called Morse Fight, where it was seen more than a hundred times. The page now seems to have been taken down, but Fox reported that it highlighted clips of fights in the classroom, corridor and restroom.

Phil Rose said that you don’t think that when you send your children to school you see this sort of stuff going on.

Harris and Rose have filed a complaint with the police, and the school said they were aware of the videos, and had spoken to the pupils involved, and that the school leaders have taken swift action to address the problems, including mediations with students, referring pupils to support staff, reporting insensitive content directly to social networking sites, and communicating and engaging with parents. The school said that they take the safety and well-being of their students seriously and had taken the required steps towards preventing future incidents like this from occurring.

Instagram is owned by Facebook, and how on earth were school fights even allowed on Instagram in the first place? This is just promoting bullying on these pages, and this is just not on Facebook, and if this is what’s going to be on there, it should all be closed down immediately.

Can you imagine if that had been an adult filming, that adult would probably have ended up in prison, and these boys should be treated the same, well, for a short while at least? Or charged with a criminal offence, which this was, because this wasn’t just bullying, this was sexual assault.

Students really shouldn’t be allowed mobile phones during school hours, and without their phones, these children might actually engage with each other and rediscover their humanity and also get some actual work done.

Students are too occupied texting to pay any attention to their lessons, and there really isn’t any need for a mobile phone during school hours, but good luck getting parents on board with that one.

These children and their parents should be sued for Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress, and God forbid that you tell a student that they can’t have their phones at school, they would throw a hissy fit.

But when it comes down to it, all social media platforms belong in the dustbin.

I understand that some pupils need their phones so that they can be reached after school to arrange a ride or if plans change, but they should be turned off during the day or put into lockers, and if found on, impounded until the end of the school day.

Test And Trace, The NHS’s ‘World Beating’ £37.5 Billion Program, Was A Waste Of Taxpayers’ Money

A damaging report by MPs claims that the £37 billion NHS Test and Trace service has been an eye wateringly costly mess.

It’s failed to break chains of COVID transmission, prevent lockdowns or allow people to return to a more normal way of life.

The organisation, previously led by former TalkTalk boss Baroness Harding, also had muddled objectives.

Spending on Test and Trace is equivalent to almost a fifth of the 2020/21 NHS England budget.

Just 45 per cent of testing capacity was used between November 2020 and April 2021, and at times as few as 11 per cent of contact centre staff were being used.

Only 96 million lateral flow tests it distributed were registered, and it’s not clear what benefit the remaining 595 million tests have achieved.

The programme was championed by the then Health Secretary Matt Hancock, whilst Prime Minister Boris Johnson described it as world-beating.

Despite committing to decrease consultants, paid an average of £1,100 a day, the service employed more in April 2021 (2,239) than in December 2020 (2,164).

Committee chairman Dame Meg Hillier said that it set out bold ambitions but has failed to accomplish them despite the large amounts launched at it.

Meanwhile, the professor who helped create the Oxford/AstraZeneca jab has said it’s unfair to bash the United Kingdom over high numbers of COVID cases – around 40,000 in a day in recent weeks.

Professor Sir Andrew Pollard said that if you look across western Europe, they have approximately ten times more tests done each day than some other countries.

The damaging report has been published just ahead of Chancellor Rishi Sunak’s Budget, where he will lay out the details of the newly announced £6 billion funding boost for the NHS.

It details how the Test and Trace system failed to hit set targets and that spending on consultants was out of control.

Matt Hancock had promised that the system would enable the Government to circumvent the use of national lockdowns and instead get the contacts of people who had contracted COVID 19 to isolate.

The report also describes how less than half of contact tracers who’d been hired were ever in use at any one time.

It said that NHS Test and Trace had a 50 per cent target utilisation rate for its contact centre staff, but the highest reached was 49 per cent at the start of January 2021 and that this had dropped to 11 per cent by the end of February 2021.

This has quite clearly made certain people extremely rich, and we should start finding out who they are and start recovering those funds from these individuals whilst they can still be traced.

This is what’s commonly known as legalised theft, and this cosy arrangement with the private sector requires a full-scale public enquiry of its own. Perhaps we should deduct the politician’s wages who supported this and had a share in it?

They don’t care because they’ve all made their millions, and the Government should give a full breakdown of precisely what the money was spent on and who really benefited, and there’s even more wastage to come with Boris Johnson’s green plans.

But the Tories have always been inept with our money. Not only do they not fix the roof when the sun shines, they take the roof off because they don’t believe we need it, and Government is appallingly bad at spending taxpayers money, and when they’ve spent it impulsively they want more from us.

Adding The Final Nail To The Coffin

The Chancellor will again delay plans to improve the business rates regime, pushing a nail in the coffin on the high street, and the Government will push back an announcement for improvement a second time.

The commercial property tax has been condemned for high street woes – retail pays a quarter of rates despite making up 5 per cent of the economy.

Helen Dickenson, of the British Retail Consortium, said that every week of delay was a nail in the coffin for high streets as four in five retailers said that they’re likely or certain to close their stores.

A consultation into the broken system ended in September last year, and the Government was supposed to announce its plan at the Spending Review, following a delay from the Spring.

Groups representing high street businesses are now worried the problem has been booted into the long grass, although last night Government sources told a newspaper outlet that ministers have delayed reform until a later date.

They said they’ve not had time to consider how the reform would affect the sector or the long term impact of the pandemic on high streets.

Kate Nicholls, chief executive of UK Hospitality, said that it’s hugely disappointing because root and branch reform has been promised in two manifestos and was certainly overdue, and that they would urge the Government to grasp the nettle to reform rates to rejuvenate the high street.

She added that without reform, rates relief given to high street firms this year must be extended until longer-term changes were implemented to circumvent a cliff edge of support.

The Government has been reluctant to make important adjustments to a tax that raises £32 billion per year, but the high street has long argued that they’re overtaxed, with retail paying a quarter of all rates despite only making up 5 per cent of the economy.

Rishi Sunak is considering a digital services tax of 2 per cent of revenues to try and level the playing field between the high street and online giants, which could be announced as early as this week, but the measure has been rejected by numerous large retailers, including Marks & Spencer, who say it’s wrong to introduce a new levy on an already overtaxed industry.

They have proposed decreasing business rates by about a third and substituting it with an increase in corporation tax – a tax on a company’s profits.

High street shops are going to be a thing of the past, although they won’t vanish altogether, but they will be transformed, and frankly, there will always be a home for intelligent local retailers because they can offer more reliable customer service, more personalisation, and better localisation, which local retailers usually master key logistics, and many customers will still need a service that online shops won’t be able to give.

This is what the high street of the future will look like.

Imagine a future where the number of shops in Britain’s town centres would have halved, but you could never imagine how swiftly that revolution would come.

The impact of the pandemic in our towns and cities has been seismic, and the negatives of this are and will be visible with store closures, job losses and empty streets. But if the Government show some imagination, they could be turning our urban centres from shopping deserts into community hubs, with shops alongside medical centres, entertainment venues, restaurants and cafes – all the places and sorts of things that people will want to do and go.

A Neighbour Brought Food To Starving Siblings, 7, 10, and 15, and Charged Their Cellphones After The Power Went Out

The three abandoned children who were discovered marooned in filthy conditions in a Houston home alongside the skeletal remains of their nine-year-old brother who’d been dead for more than a year managed to survive thanks to a helpful neighbour.

The children’s mum and her boyfriend were interviewed and released by law enforcement officials, and child welfare services in Texas have also started an investigation.

According to law enforcement officials, the mother and her boyfriend left the children alone for numerous months. Occasionally, the mother would return to bring the kids food.

The three children were taken to a hospital for treatment and a post-mortem is being carried out on the fourth child to determine the cause of mortality.

The Harris County Sheriff’s Department told a news outlet that an unidentified Good Samaritan who lived in a nearby apartment complex in Houston brought the three children food and charged their phones after the electricity was cut in their house.

However, it’s not clear why she didn’t report the neglected children to the police or child protective services, and a fellow resident said that if the person was bringing them food to eat, they must have seen that child.

Law enforcement officials said that the neighbour was helping the three children, ages 7, 10, and 15, for at least the last two weeks, and according to investigators, the 15-year-old said that the parents hadn’t been living at the home for weeks, effectively abandoning the children to be on their own.

KPRC-TV reported that when the police arrived at the home, they discovered the brother’s skeletal remains out in the open and that the two younger boys appeared to be malnourished and according to law enforcement officials showed signs of physical harm.

Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez told reporters that it appeared that they had been fending for each other and that the older sibling was doing the best he could to take care of the others.

In an update, Gonzalez announced that the children’s mother and her boyfriend had been found and questioned by homicide detectives.

The sheriff stated that the couple had been released without being arrested or charged with any wrongdoing, and no explanation was given for the decision to let the pair go at the time.

You have to feel sorry for the poor children, and I guess that we really do live with monsters around us, and the scary thing is sometimes you don’t even know who they are until it’s too late.

Some parents never seem to care about their children, and not enough gets reported to the police.

How these children will ever recover from this kind of treatment is beyond me, and so many people are bitter and divided, with poverty increasing from all the economic statistics, despite the increasing wealth, which means that the US is turning into the very thing that their founding fathers didn’t want, and how is this happening in today’s world – is no one paying attention?

And the two burning questions that I’m sure everyone has on their mind, is why were the mother and boyfriend released?

It clearly stated that the mother would periodically bring food to the children, so she was aware of the conditions, and secondly, why did the neighbours fail these children? It was kind of the neighbour to take these children food, but why did she not contact the police?

Facebook And Instagram Will Require Parental Permission For Australian Children Under 16

Australian children under 16 will need parental consent to sign up for social media apps under proposed new laws.

Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, OnlyFans, Bumble, WhatsApp and even Zoom would all fall under the new requirements.

The companies must take all responsible measures to establish a user’s age and ensure a child’s parent has given consent.

Facebook and Instagram already require users to be over 13 in Australia and use artificial intelligence to determine their age.

Social media giants will face increased penalties of up to $10 million for infringing the rules, up from the current maximum of $2 million.

The changes were outlined in an exposure draft of new legislation released on Monday by Attorney General Michaelia Cash.

The new law aims to prevent children’s data from being shared without permission, and the draft legislation said that privacy practices of online platforms could be harmful to children and vulnerable persons, including sharing data for advertising purposes or engaging in harmful tracking, profiling, or targeted marketing.

Communications Minister Paul Fletcher told Parliament on Tuesday the online privacy code would strengthen protections for children and other groups of vulnerable users, and he said that they’re being pretty clear in their requirements on the social media platforms under the code, and they will be expected to take all reasonable measures to establish the age of users to take more prudent steps to verify parental or guardian consent for children under the age of 16 years old.

As well as social media services, the code will install new rules for data brokers and other large online operators with more than 2.5 million Australian users such as Amazon, Google and Apple.

The code will enable users to demand their data be kept from any third parties.

The draft legislation said that a person may wish to use this when, for example, they don’t want an organisation to disclose their personal information for direct marketing. However, the law wouldn’t give users the right to demand their data to be erased.

The proposed law is a response to the Cambridge Analytica data harvesting scandal in March 2018.

The British consulting firm used the personal data of millions of Facebook users to target political advertisements.

Mia Garlick, Director of Public Policy for Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands, said Facebook was still reviewing the proposal.

It comes as Facebook endured a blizzard of criticism after former employee Frances Haugen leaked internal studies showing the company knew of possible harm stoked by its sites, urging US lawmakers to renew a push for regulation.

Of course, like everything else, kids will eventually know how to bypass this, and is this really about protecting children, or is it to ensure that every person using the internet has a digital ID that shadows their every move?

All around the world every government is moving in the same direction, while forcing us all to conduct all of our banking, work-life, booking events, literally everything online, and all of this requires ID verification.

However, social media is toxic to children and yet we allow it to happen, but the theory is a great idea, but the reality is that a 14-year-old is going to be able to get around this if they want to. I believe that children should be allowed to be children as long as possible, but of course, we all insist on giving our children mobile phones and computers so that they can access the internet without surveillance.

What Are The Chances Of Plan B?

Rishi Sunak insisted there was no need to move to Plan B to cut COVID cases after health leaders debated whether there needed to be an urgent rollout of tougher measures to combat a surge in cases.

The Chancellor insisted that the data showed that bringing back working from home and introducing compulsory COVID passports was not yet needed.

His comments to the BBC’s Andrew Marr programme came after it was reported that the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) contacted local authorities on Friday to canvass their level of support for the immediate rollout of the winter plan – Plan B.

An official, sensitive document was seen by a newspaper outlet solicited viewpoints from the leaders and chief executives of councils across England to be furnished to the Cabinet Office before the end of the day.

But Rishi Sunak said the data didn’t imply they should be immediately moving to Plan B.

However, a leading Government scientist said some kind of Plan B was needed immediately.

Professor Adam Finn, who’s on the Joint Committee of Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI), said COVID 19 hospital admissions and deaths were rising and cautioned against complacency in what he said was a worsening situation.

Meanwhile, shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves said the Government should introduce its Plan B to tackle the increasing rates of coronavirus now.

Speaking on Marr, Rachel Reeves was asked what Labour’s position was on reintroducing restrictions such as the wearing of face coverings and working from home.

She said Labour as a responsible opposition has always said that they would follow the science and that they’ve seen that SAGE (Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies) was saying that some aspects of Plan B, like wearing masks on public transport and in shops, and also working from home more flexibly should be introduced.

And she thought the first thing is the Government have got to do more to make Plan A work, and that if scientists are saying work from home and masks, then we should do that, and so we should get A working better because the vaccination programme has been stalling, including those parts of Plan B.

She said that there are also things not in A or B that needed to be done, like paying statutory sick pay from day one and also better ventilation in public places.

Asked directly whether Plan B should be introduced now, she said that it should but that we shouldn’t let the Government off the hook with Plan A either.

Sadly, countless people are now terrified thanks to the scaremongering by the media, and if you drip feed the lies long enough people will believe it.

What astounds me is that almost everyone has access to the internet, yet they absorb everything from the TV, but there’s a wealth of information out there that the mainstream media will never acquaint you with.

And whatever you believe, we shouldn’t be throwing hatred towards other members of the general public. Everyone’s entitled to their opinion, and I’m not sure why there seems to be a need to resort to childish name-calling.

If what some people are saying is true, that this is some scheme for mass control, then they’re just playing into the hands of those we believe are behind us, but really it’s all about divide and conquer, and as human beings surely we should be beyond turning and throwing childish remarks.

However, our Government is prepared to trash the country even though the data says there’s no need for any plan or COVID passports, which makes some people believe that this is all about control.

Why Was A Gun On The Alec Baldwin Film Set Loaded With Live Ammunition?

The deadly chain of events on set that led to Alec Baldwin being given a gun with live ammunition and unintentionally killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins has become more apparent after it emerged last night the actor fired a live round, believing it to be a blank.

The unfortunate accident came days after Alec Baldwin’s stunt double also fired off bullets on the production’s set on Saturday after being told the gun was ‘cold’, an expression used to signal to cast and crew the gun was not loaded with live or blank ammunition and was safe to fire for the scene.

New details of safety issues on set emerged as the production’s armourer was named by a search warrant issued on Friday as 24-year-old Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the daughter of legendary Hollywood armourer and firearms consultant Thell Reed, and revealed she was the leading firearms on a film set for only the second time.

Alec Baldwin inadvertently shot Hutchins when he aimed and fired towards a camera operated by the cinematographer, hitting her in the chest and director Joel Souza in the shoulder.

After firing the shot, Alec Baldwin was heard saying that in his years, he’d never been handed a hot gun.

Experts told a newspaper outlet that safety on set was normally very tight with live bullets never being used in filming and it remained unclear why a gun loaded with live ammunition was on the Rust set at all.

A warrant issued on Friday revealed the gun was set out by Gutierrez-Reed and handed to Alec Baldwin by assistant director Dave Halls, who told him it was cold.

A search warrant issued on Friday said that minutes before the accident, armourer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed set out three prop guns on a cart outside the filming area.

A search warrant said that first assistant director Dave Halls picked up one of the firearms, a vintage-style Colt revolver unaware that it was loaded with live ammunition.

The warrant said that Dave Halls shouted out that it was a cold gun before handing it to Alec Baldwin, using the expression to indicate to cast and crew that the gun was safe to shoot for the scene.

Alec Baldwin, who was shooting a scene inside an Old West-style church, then shot a live round towards the camera, inadvertently killing Hutchins as she filmed him, also wounding director Joel Souza, who stood behind her.

Alec Baldwin must be feeling pretty bad for what has taken place, and must now be in shock because he now has to live with the reality that he’s killed, someone, even though he didn’t kill her intentionally, but whoever was in charge of the gun clearly didn’t do their gun checks correctly, although a gun is a gun and you really shouldn’t trust anyone but yourself because mistakes do happen, no one is infallible.

Someone was at fault here and it was probably the armourer because it was her responsibility to make sure that the gun was safe and loaded with the correct blanks. I mean, who in their right mind puts live ammo in a gun unless it was put there because it was intended to injure or kill someone? And it seems that people are pointing the finger at Alec Baldwin and saying that he’s at wrongdoing, but it’s the armourer’s responsibility to ensure everything’s safe.

In England, Almost One In Fifty People Had COVID Last Week

England’s COVID cases have reached their highest level since mid-January with approximately one in fifty infected with the virus last week, official data has revealed amid mounting concerns that the imminent fourth wave and slow booster vaccine roll out will force ministers into adopting its winter Plan B.

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) figures show about 977,900 were infected in England on any given day in the week up to October 16.

Infections haven’t been as high since the country started to recover from the gloomiest days of the second wave at the start of the year.

Cases increased 9.88 per cent on last week’s figure of 890,000, the fourth week in a row infections have increased.

Meanwhile, separate data from the UK Health Security Agency, which took over from the now-defunct PHE, today revealed the R rate has risen on last week and was about 1.0 to 1.2, up from 0.9 to 1.1, and it’s the first time the R rate has been above 1 since August.

Figures from the Department of Health, based on the Government’s official testing programme as opposed to the random swabbing of thousands of Brits, confirmed cases breached 50,000 for the first time in three months.

The Department of Health bosses recorded another 52,009 infections, a 15 per cent increase a week ago and the highest number since July 17 at the peak of the summer spike. The daily average is now nearing peak second wave levels.

Medics have warned that cases will continue to spike unless Britain doubles the rate of its vaccine booster rollout. Only 4 million out of the 8.7 million patients in England who are suitable for a booster now have had one, including just a third of care home residents and half of the over 80s.

Doctors warned that it’s being held up by the NHS sending texts to elderly Britains who don’t know how to use their phones.

Boris Johnson issued an urgent plea for more Britons to come forward for their boosters to strengthen people’s defences against the virus, amid concerns increasing cases could lead to a last-minute curb ahead of Christmas once again.

The Government has so far resisted increasing pressure to return to its winter Plan B to bring back masks and WFH guidance despite mounting case numbers and in the face of doctors accusing them of being willfully negligent.

We really do like talking ourselves into a crisis in this country, and the academics are especially good at doing that, and once again only time will prove how over the top and exaggerated most of them are.

Pandemics always end after a while as immunity is built up within the population, and perhaps the Government is right in letting it rip, otherwise we could be restricted for years.

Sadly vaccinations don’t prevent you from getting the virus and passing it on. However, if you’re vaccinated with the COVID 19 vaccine, you’re less inclined to catch it, and less likely to become ill if you do get it, and less likely to spread it to other people, but it’s still possible for this to happen, well this is what they’re telling us, and try telling that to people who I know have all been jabbed and still got COVID and were extremely unwell – somethings not adding up.

And I don’t mean to sound flippant here but I’m starting to believe it’s all the luck of the draw, depending on your immune system, your genes, and your vulnerability.

Queen’s Cousin’s Son – 65th In Line To The Throne – Accused Of ‘Constant Antisocial Behaviour’

Police and Westminster council have failed in a bid to ban the 65th in line to the throne from the borough after years of violence, threats, criminal damage and racist behaviour.

Deputy District Judge Olwen Davies ruled that Rowan Nash Lascelles, 43, would just disregard the proposed Criminal Behaviour Order and take his offending to other neighbourhoods.

Rowan Nash Lascelles, who’s the son of the Hon. James Lascelles, the Queen’s first cousin once removed, fled the City of London Magistrates’ Court moments before the hearing and a warrant was issued for his apprehension.

The court was informed that he’s addicted to the potent synthetic marijuana ‘Spice’ and mixes with the users and dealers who gather in Westminster, particularly around The Strand.

The great-great-grandson of George VI has many convictions for racially aggravated criminal aggressions and was once banned from Sainsbury’s in The Strand for telling staff that they should go back to where they came from and that he was going to boot them out of the country because they weren’t English.

Scotland Yard had supported the request to ban him, with one officer, PC Zak Ali, telling the judge that Lascelles was a burden on the Metropolitan Police.

And Westminster’s rough sleeping coordinator, George Bossman, said Lascelles had always ended up losing his accommodation due to his unseemly behaviour and has now drained all of his options.

George Bossman said it requires a lot of money to put him in a hotel, and there was persistent anti-social behaviour and criminal damage, and that there have been terrifying destructive disturbances and racist behaviour and that he’s been engaging in the illegal use of substances and buying it in Westminster.

The court heard that his father, The Hon. James Lascelles had provided him with hotel accommodation in Victoria.

Judge Davies called him a persistent offender, who left misery in his wake.

Ignoring the Criminal Behaviour Order application, Judge Davies ruled that an order wouldn’t prevent him due to his established criminality, and said that he’s either incapable or unwilling to change and disregarded the criminal law.

He said an order banning him from Westminster would just be ignored, and if he didn’t follow the law he wouldn’t obey a Criminal Behaviour Order and would just offend in other London areas and transfer his suffering to Camden or Wandsworth.

The judge said that he would just ignore the proposed Criminal Behaviour Order, and this is why jail time is the only solution for this chap, and he might be the descendant of the Royal Family, but he’s only 65th in line to the throne, and why are we even pursuing this level of irrelevance? Because this is so far removed that it makes no difference, it’s not like he’s ever going to be the King of England, so therefore he should be punished like everyone else and sent to prison.

People like Lascelles, when they’re locked up, if they’re locked up, end up being detoxed, free bed and board and develop a habit of doing it for a break. It happens all over the United Kingdom, especially when hotels won’t take them due to the risk of attacks on their staff and other residents.

Then they come out of prison, overdose and get free B&B at a hospital for a couple of days. This sets up all the food bank vouchers et cetera, leaving cash for drugs until the next crime.
