Keir Starmer Arson Suspect, 26, Arrested At Luton Airport

A second guy has been taken into custody by police about three arson attacks that targeted the prime minister.

The 26-year-old was arrested around 1.45 pm on Saturday at London Luton Airport on suspicion of conspiracy to commit arson with intent to endanger life.

The Eastern Region Special Operations Unit counterterrorism police made the arrest. The guy has been arrested by London police.

The arrest relates to three incidents – a vehicle fire in NW5 on 8 May, a fire at the entrance of a property in N7 on 11 May and a fire at a residential address in NW5 in the early hours of 12 May.

The arrest follows the arrest of 21-year-old Roman Lavrynovych, of Sydenham, on Thursday, who emerged in court charged with three counts of arson with intent to endanger life.

It is understood that the three arson targets were the Prime Minister’s £2 million north London property, which was set alight on Monday night, just days after the torching of a car and an apartment which the Labour leader had once owned.

Met Police said that as all three targets of the arson attacks have ‘previous connections with a high-profile public figure’, officers from the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command are leading the investigation.

Sir Keir has let the four-bedroom house in Kentish Town to his sister-in-law on a peppercorn rent since he moved into Downing Street last year.

The fire damaged the porch of the property, but firefighters were able to bring it under control within 20 minutes, preventing it from spreading further indoors.

The doors of two homes connected to the Prime Minister in north London both suffered fire damage within 24 hours of each other.

It came after a Toyota Rav 4 on Sir Keir’s street erupted into flames on VE Day.

It is believed that the car’s owner, the prime minister’s neighbour, believed that a defective battery was the cause of the fire. The hybrid vehicle was totally wrecked.

City mayor Sir Sadiq Khan said the three fires had left the Prime Minister’s family feeling ‘frightened’ for their safety.

He told LBC Radio: ‘Don’t underestimate the ripples of fear that [his wife] Vic and the kids felt when they will have read this stuff in the paper.

‘But for the grace of God, they are safe thankfully, in Downing Street, they’ve got a protection team.’

Someone wants to get rid of Starmer.

When crime affects Keir Starmer and his entourage, it’s classed as a ‘terror attack’, but if it were the same offence affecting Joe Public, it would be classed as ‘arson.’ Once again, it’s two-tier justice.

All of this is so strange. Strange is inevitable, though, if Starmer is involved.

This was no mastermind terrorist attack that had been set up – it was more like a Mr Bean sketch and completely nonsensical. Seems to me whoever they were, they were making a point, and something definitely smells a bit off, and why is the Counter Terrorism Unit dealing with this?

Ordinary people would have an ordinary detective dealing with this, and they wouldn’t have such a quick outcome. It would be a crime reference number, and you would be told to wait in line.

If his family had been home, things would have been quite different. But this is for sympathy, but forget it; people don’t care a monkeys, so Keir won’t get it.

Civil servants’ Laptops: Netflix, Porn, Gambling

Civil servants have been watching Netflix and accessing porn websites on their SNP government-issued laptops, the Mail on Sunday can reveal.

Government staff – most of whom were working from home – have streamed their favourite Netflix shows so many times in the past six months that officials say the number of attempts to log onto the streaming channel is too high to calculate.

On sixteen occasions civil servants have visited the x-rated Pornhub sex site and online betting sites Betfair and Paddy Power on their government devices, new data shows.

The stunning figures appeared days after a row over a new drive to get Scottish civil servants back into the office.

First Minister John Swinney said he approved of making officials work at least two days at their desk to boost productivity.

However, the plan for an average 40 percent attendance generated a backlash from staff working from home.

The bloated devolved civil service – which has grown by more than 70 percent since 2016 – is now costing the taxpayer over £600 million a year.

It was recently discovered that employees of local governments were operating from remote places, such as Eastern Europe and the United Arab Emirates.

The latest revelations follow Health Secretary Michael Matheson having to quit after he racked up an £11,000 bill on his work iPad while abroad on a family holiday – and charged it to the public purse, before he resigned his position and agreed to pay it back.

Last night, critics said taxpayers would be appalled by civil servants’ use of their official laptops and devices.

Scottish Conservative MSP Annie Wells said: ‘Hard-pressed Scottish taxpayers will be furious and appalled to learn they are footing the bill for civil servants to access dodgy websites and watch Netflix.

‘What does it say about the culture within the SNP government that staff think it’s okay to use a work device to watch pornography or place a bet?

‘Scots are paying the highest rates of income tax in the UK to support the SNP’s growing army of civil servants while our public services worsen, and yet this is what some civil servants are choosing to spend their time on.’

Benjamin Elks, of the TaxPayers’ Alliance, added: ‘Scottish taxpayers will be rightly disgusted to see what their civil servants have been up to.

‘It’s clear that these pen-pushers have too much time on their hands as they work at home, failing to deliver for hard-working Scots.

‘Anyone caught using government devices to access pornography should be sacked without hesitation.’

The frequency with which civil officials in Scotland have accessed improper websites on government-issued devices was revealed by figures obtained under freedom of information rules.

Records reveal there were at least 16 attempts to access pornography and gambling websites on taxpayer-funded devices in the past six months.

Since November, there have been six endeavours to access Pornhub, six attempts to access Betfair and four endeavours to access Paddy Power on Scottish Government devices.

Officials declined to communicate how many attempts there were to watch Netflix by civil servants, saying it would cost more than £600 to sort through the number of the attempts.

In response to a freedom of information request, it said: ‘While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance the costs of locating, retrieving and providing the information for Netflix as requested would exceed the upper cost limit of £600… the Netflix dataset was too large and included too many duplicate entries to sort within a reasonable time frame and within the applicable cost limit.’

The new statistics, obtained by the Scottish Conservatives, follow public backlash over the number of civil servants still working from home despite the pandemic ending years ago.

Some employees have been told they only need to attend their offices one day a week, although the official expectation is for them to attend for two.

The work from home culture has had a major impact on the vitality of town centres, with many shops, bars and restaurants reliant on trade from office workers.

Even First Minister John Swinney has said Scotland’s Permanent Secretary should ‘go further’ in getting employees back to work.

Meanwhile, Scotland’s bloated public sector is costing the taxpayer over £600 million a year, double the bill charged eight years ago.

The devolved civil service workforce also stood at more than 9,000 last year – a 71 percent climb since 2016.

Staff at one Scottish council have been working from lands as far away as the United Arab Emirates, sparking questions about their tax affairs and other working arrangements. 

A Scottish Government spokesman said: ‘Any attempt to access, download, display, store or distribute pornographic, racist or other offensive material, or material relating to illegal activities is considered a disciplinary matter, as outlined in the Scottish Government’s IT Code of Conduct.

‘Action is taken in line with Scottish Government disciplinary policy where concerns are identified.

‘Scottish Government staff can use devices for personal use if this is within their own time, for example, during the weekend or a lunch break. This is subject to restrictions on certain activities, such as running a personal website or attempting to access inappropriate material online.

‘The Scottish Government has in place recruitment and workforce controls to reduce its workforce size.’

It’s fairly straightforward – sack them all if they don’t return to the office because we are sick and tired of Civil Servants scrounging off our hard earned taxes.

I’m not sure how this could have happened. Civil Servants have laptops that has a secure Internet Gateway Service that prevents people from accessing all sorts of sites, including such things as Amazon and eBay, so I can’t imagine for one second it would allow entry to porn sites, or any other sites that would be considered illicit or risky, and if people are foolish enough to try and access these sites, they deserve to be sacked.

I’m not opposed to people working from home, especially if they have the flu or something infectious and can’t go into the office, but could work from home, but working from home most of the time decreases production levels.

Working from home means that people can do the bare minimum without a care in the world, but they’ll still end up with a good company pension, and the foolishness of anyone using a work computer to access porn and betting sites beggars belief, but then they’re Civil Servants and they’re hardly known for their brilliance.

Let’s face it, these people have traded their original gravy train for a brand new, high-powered powered super sonic gold top cream train. Slick, fast and with no effort required. We were foolish enough to give an inch, and they have not taken 100000,000 miles. They do less and less and want more and more. Good luck getting these spongers back into the office.

James Corden Fancies His Chances Of Running For Mayor Of London After Returning From The States

James Corden is most renowned for his work as an entertainer, but a political career would intrigue him.

According to The Mail on Sunday, the celebrity, who hosted The Late Late Show for eight years in Los Angeles before moving back to the UK last year, is considering a bid for Mayor of London.

Despite being outspoken about his political beliefs, the 46-year-old actor, who made a reputation for himself as Smithy in Gavin and Stacey, has never ventured to go further.

But while at the Bafta television awards last Sunday, Corden met the hosts of the Electoral Dysfunction podcast and told Beth Rigby, the political editor for Sky News, Ruth Davidson, the former leader of the Scottish Conservatives, and Harriet Harman, the former deputy leader of Labour, about his latest goals.

A bystander said: ‘James told them he was a regular listener to their podcast and how much he enjoys the cut and thrust of politics.

‘He clearly has a lot of respect for those who put themselves out there and run for office.

‘And it was suggested that he should step into the political arena and stand in the future. There was talk that he should run for Mayor of London.’

The present mayor, Sir Sadiq Khan, was first elected in 2016 and won a third term last year. 

He is widely expected to stand down in 2028, which will mean Labour will need to find a new candidate.

Corden, who is thought to be a Labour supporter, condemned Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership of the party following the Conservatives’ landslide victory in 2019.

He tweeted: ‘I can’t shake the feeling that if Tom Watson had been leader of the Labour Party, the outcome of this could’ve all been so different.

 ‘Jeremy Corbyn has now lost two elections to opposition candidates who could’ve and should’ve been beaten.’

Corden and his wife Julia bought an £11.5 million mansion in north-west London on their return to the UK last year.

Nonetheless, Corden Bleu has a good chance of winning the position of Mayor of London, but haven’t we Londoners suffered enough with little Sadiq Khan? It would be like swapping one inept comedian for another.

James Corden is about as charming as a haemorrhoid, therefore, I sincerely hope he doesn’t get the job as mayor, because he’s a typical clueless champagne socialist and he should focus on his day job.

However, we may as well let him have a go, what harm can he do that has not already been done? London is finished anyhow! Let him have his delusions of grandeur.

In 2022, James Corden was banned from a New York restaurant called ‘Balthazar’ by the owner, Keith McNally, after it was reported that he was abusive and extremely nasty to staff. Do we really want someone like James to be our Mayor of London? Corden subsequently admitted that he had been ungracious and apologised, but the damage was already done, and it just shows what kind of person Corden is – entitled!

Champagne socialists are hilarious, and also dangerous, and who is going to vote for this man? He has a track record of chutzpah, and there are enough comedians in politics; we don’t need another.

This is how insignificant and laughable the position of Mayor of London is – only clowns now need to apply!

To be the Mayor of London, one needs to be somebody who values this country. The existing one doesn’t, and Corden has nothing better to do with his time.

Teens Torture And Kill Kittens In Distressing Attack

Two teenagers have been arrested after a couple of kittens ‘were tortured and killed’ in an ‘incredibly distressing’ attack.

The tiny cats are said to have been dismembered in the gruesome act, which took place on Ickenham Road in Ruislip, north west London, on Saturday, May 3.

The small animals are thought to have been brought to the scene in a duffel bag, carried by a young boy.

Two youngsters have been arrested on suspicion of animal cruelty and remain in custody.

It comes after the force released an urgent appeal to hunt down two teens after a member of the public claimed to have witnessed the terrible deed. 

Police Sergeant Babs Rock previously said: ‘This is an incredibly distressing incident which I know has caused concern in the local community.’

Since then, a representative for the Met Police has expressed gratitude to the community for reporting the incident.

They said: ‘Met officers have carried out two arrests following the deaths of two kittens in Ruislip.

‘An appeal was published yesterday (Thursday, 15 May) in relation to the incident in Ickenham Road on Saturday, 3 May.

‘Following information provided to the Met, officers arrested two teenagers on Friday, 16 May, on suspicion of animal cruelty. They remain in custody.

‘We recognise the distress this incident has caused in the area and we thank the community for sharing information with us.’

As part of their investigation, police had made CCTV footage and a picture of a duffel bag they believed was used to transport the kittens public.

The teenagers were a 16-year-old boy and a 15-year-old girl who have now been arrested after the mutilated remains of two kittens were discovered in West London.

The force received a report on 3 May alleging two teenagers had dismembered the animals in Ruislip – their parents must be so proud.

If something is not done, these two youngsters will ultimately progress to vulnerable, defenceless human beings – they should be given the full scope of the law, and how did these youngsters get hold of the kittens in the first place?

Prime Minister At Record Low, Even Among Labour Voters

According to surveys, the prime minister’s unpopularity has reached an all-time low, with even Labour voters abandoning him.

A survey discovered that just 45 percent of the party faithful now have a favourable opinion of their leader, after a sharp decline of more than 17 points in the past month. 

And half of Labour voters say they have an adverse opinion of him, up from 33 percent in April.

‘This is the first time Keir Starmer has been more unpopular than popular with Labour voters,’ YouGov said.

Overall, only 23 percent of Britons have a good opinion of Sir Keir, while 69 percent have an adverse perception of him. 

This means that the Prime Minister’s ‘net favourability rating’ is -46, the lowest ever recorded.

Three of his top team – Angela Rayner, Yvette Cooper and Rachel Reeves – also got ‘worst-ever’ scores.

The pollster said Labour itself has hit ‘new depths’, with 65 percent holding an adverse opinion of the party, the most since the question was first asked in June 2017.

Only 59 percent who voted Labour last year now have a good view of the party.

‘Even among their own voters, Labour are now no more popular than the Greens,’ said YouGov.

The polling of 2,171 adults was done after Sir Keir’s crackdown on immigration was criticised by many in his party. 

It will intensify fears in No 10 that his new perspective on border control will not win votes on the Right, and even lose him support on the Left to the Greens and Liberal Democrats.

To be fair, Keir Starmer is the most clueless Prime Minister in history, but I failed to mention his three highest qualities, which are hateful, self serving and a complete turncoat.

He does have clues, an abundance of them. The trouble is he doesn’t know what to do with them, and he continues to fumble in the dark.

He is completely delusional, and I’ve never witnessed a Prime Minister upset so many branches of society. The problem is, he just doesn’t care, and Keir Starmer is signing his own political suicide.

Keir Starmer was a weak deputy leader, a weak leader in opposition, and a useless Prime Minister, and nobody should believe a word he has to say.

Liz Truss wasn’t a good prime minister, but at least she did the right thing and quit, but then I suppose that honour and Labour don’t mix especially well.

To find out how many people desire a general election right now, a vote should be held. At that point, hopefully, Keir Starmer will be gone! I would happily get out of my bed in the morning to vote him out.

We currently have an unstable government because Calamity Keir was never up to the task.

However, his popularity might have sunk, but I don’t believe the government’s popularity has been above the floor.

He was Mr U-turn as a leader of the opposition, and now that he’s Prime Minister, he’s simply demonstrating how lost he actually is, and those who voted Labour are probably regretting wasting their vote.

After all this time of open borders, I no longer recognise my country.

We have always had criminality in the UK, but nowhere near what it is now, while our government give out millions of visas, so there’s no surprise housing is lacking, and even our sewage system can’t cope.

Our Government is sinking like the Titanic, and it was a disaster giving Keir Starmer the keys to No 10, and we need to remove Captain Chaos because he’s living the dream in his own little world and wondering where the next freebie is coming from.

Profitable Migrant Hotels

Two asylum seeker hotels just half a mile apart and majority owned by the same Israeli tycoon are believed to have raked in £100 million from UK taxpayers.

The Holiday Inn and Crowne Plaza in West Drayton, near London’s Heathrow airport, have accommodated migrants for more than four years, with 1,080 rooms between them.

It is thought that asylum seekers have been staying in the four-star hotels, which were once crowded with tourists, for a longer period than any other big hotel in the United Kingdom.

The Government signed contracts to take over each of them in either late 2020 or early 2021, as a soaring number of migrants continued to cross the Channel in open boats.

MailOnline visited both hotels this week and found them appearing to be completely occupied, with security guards keeping outsiders away.

Migrants said they were generally happy with their ‘very nice’ rooms, but frustrated about long delays in dealing with their asylum applications.

But local residents were less impressed and expressed their outrage about so much public money being used to house and support asylum seekers.

Analysis of the Land Registry and financial records showed a complex web of UK and Jersey registered companies behind both hotels.

But Companies House records show that at least 75 percent of both hotels ultimately belong to property investor Amir Dayan, 50, who was born in Tel Aviv, and has previously been described as one of Israel’s wealthiest men.

Mr Dayan, who is now Cypriot, has invested heavily in UK hotels, including an unknown number which have been turned over to migrants, but he remains little known in this country.

The Government has never disclosed how much it has paid the owners of individual hotels to take them over as asylum hostels.

It has been said that the rates being negotiated are discounted because every room is being booked for a contracted period of months or years.

Assuming that all 615 rooms at the Holiday Inn and the 465 rooms at the Crowne Plaza were booked solidly for four years by guests paying just £100 a night, the hotels would earn more than £ 157 million.

But one hotel industry expert said the block booking fee paid by the Government could be discounted by at least a third, making a total figure of about £100 million likely for the two hotels for a four year period.

It was announced this week that the Government’s bill for asylum accommodation, which was expected to be £4.5 billion for the decade from 2019, had soared to £15.3 billion – the equivalent of £4,191,780 a day.

Some residents had been paying monthly to use the swimming pool and gym at the Crowne Plaza when the hotel was open to the public, but leisure club memberships were suddenly terminated during COVID.

Stuart Overton, 47, and his wife Trudy, 54, who had used the facilities, said: ‘They didn’t offer the chance for us to renew.

‘Then all of a sudden, I noticed they started putting up an 8-foot hoarding wall all around the hotel, and I realised they were moving in migrants.

‘There were a lot of local people and airport staff who were using the gym and the pool, and it left them all disappointed.

‘There was a pay-as-you-go golf course attached to the hotel and, of course, that closed at the same time.

‘It is what it is, and you can’t do anything about it – but it is a bit soul-destroying seeing the Government spend a fortune on these places.’

Mrs Overton added: ‘I knew somebody who worked there, and all the staff just got made redundant. It seems so wrong.’

Milkman Keith Haines, 61, who lives in West Drayton, said: ‘What they have done with these hotels is just horrendous.

‘I see the men from the hotels walking up and down the road. They are mostly young lads.

‘As Reform said, if they were living in tents in France, what is wrong with them staying in tents over here instead of hotels?

‘At the same time, we have some of our veterans living on the streets and pensioners like my 93-year-old mum have lost their heating allowance.’

The manager of The Plough pub next to the Holiday Inn, who gave his name as Abi, 48, said: ‘My friend took over the pub a year ago.

‘We knew the pub had lost a lot of business due to the asylum seeker hotel next door. When the ordinary tourists were staying there, they would come in for a drink, but they are not there now.

‘My friend invested a lot of money, hoping that one day the hotel would go back to normal and things would pick up, However, we are still waiting.

‘It doesn’t help when we have challenges of our own. The brewery has put up prices twice since we have been here. If we had more customers, it would help compensate for that.

‘Some of the guys in the hotel are OK, but others are troublemakers and come in drunk. Their attitude can be really rude. We have had arguments with them if they are drunk, and we refuse to serve them.

‘Others come in demanding cigarettes and upsetting customers. We also see police and ambulances driving up to the hotel three or four times every week.

‘You can’t blame the owner of the hotel. He is a businessman, and he wants the best deal. He is getting 100 per cent occupancy and guaranteed money coming in.’

A 77-year-old retired Heathrow security officer who was drinking at the pub and asked not to be named, said: ‘This place used to be packed all the time. There would be lots of American and Chinese tourists coming over from the hotel.

‘Now the hotel has all these migrants in. We see them walking around in new clothes. They have all got phones. The fact that they get this free accommodation is encouraging them to come to this country.

‘The ones who come over from France are not escaping wars, because they are coming from a peaceful country. I don’t think there is any other country that gives them what we do.’

A 57-year-old sandwich van driver from Uxbridge who was also in the pub, said: ‘Having all these guys being put in hotels for free is so frustrating.

‘We didn’t look after our own in this country, yet they get these handouts. It is disgusting.

‘I was made homeless last year with my adult son when my private landlord wanted me out so she could sell up, but the council didn’t want to help me.

‘I have paid taxes all my life, but I had to stay with a friend for three months until I could sort myself out. It all makes me a bit angry.’

With its 8-foot-high hoarding wall around its perimeter, the Crowne Plaza hotel is said to have been used in recent years as a secure intake centre for new migrant arrivals who stay for seven to ten days before being moved on, although there is evidence that many stay there far longer.

The Daily Mail reported in May 2022 how it tracked one group of 23 migrants after they left the French coast in an inflatable open boat launched from a beach near the town of Gravelines at 1 am.

Using ship tracking software, the Mail watched as they were escorted by a French government vessel towards Dover before they were transferred to the Border Force vessel Hurricane.

The Mail watched as they were dropped off at Dover at 10.12 am, and boarded a bus for initial security checks before being taken to the migrant processing centre at RAF Manston in Kent.

Later on the same day, the group were seen being picked up by another air-conditioned coach and taken to the five-floor Crowne Plaza, arriving soon after midnight.

The Crowne Plaza also made headlines in July 2021 when a 24-year-old asylum seeker from Sudan died at the hotel just four months after arriving in the UK following several months of sleeping under a bridge in Calais.

Fellow asylum seekers orchestrated a protest at the time, holding signs saying ‘refugee lives matter’ and declaring the man was ‘neglected to death’.

In May the same year, a High Court judge described the hotel as ‘prison-like’ and ordered the Home Office to move a human trafficking victim out of it.

The judge said the man, who had escaped from torture in Kuwait, was not in a suitable environment for a trafficking victim.

The Home Office said at the time that it had tried to rehouse him in a new hotel in Leicester, but he was unable to make the journey due to a chronic back injury.

The Crowne Plaza overlooks a third hotel in the area – the 178-room Novotel in West Drayton – which is also being utilised for asylum seekers.

The Novotel, which is not linked to Mr Dayan, is presently home to families of asylum seekers.

MailOnline witnessed children playing on the driveway outside the hotel this week while some rode bikes around the adjacent car park used by drivers waiting to pick up passengers from Heathrow.

Other asylum seekers were caught relaxing in the sunshine on the grass outside the Holiday Inn, just half a mile away on the other side of the M4 motorway.

The hotel, which has no boarding or fence around it, is the registered office of his UK empire, but security staff were unable to say if he was there.

There was also no response to a telephone request for comment from one of his operating companies.

The Holiday Inn houses single men and women, as well as families with children, who live on different floors.

Asylum seeker Saeid Hossini, 30, a former furniture maker from Shiraz, Iran, who escaped his homeland after taking part in demonstrations against the ruling regime, said he had been staying there for a year, waiting for his asylum claim to be decided.

He said: ‘It’s OK here for a while, but if you are here for a long time it is terrible. We get three meals a day. The food is OK, but it is served on plastic plates.

‘Some people staying here are very sad and angry. You see the police and ambulances coming.

‘I am not allowed to work, but if the UK could understand me and let me be part of society, I will support myself.

‘At the moment, they don’t want to solve my problem. They want to find false things in my case.’

Saeid said he had to leave Iran to ‘protect’ himself and his family, and claimed asylum when he arrived on a flight from Istanbul, Turkey.

His Iranian friend, who gave his name as Nima, 22, and arrived on a flight two years ago, said he had recently been granted consent to stay in the UK, but was waiting for his paperwork to come through.

Nima said: ‘I have been waiting 20 days for my e-visa, and I can stay here until it arrives, but then I will have to find somewhere of my own.

‘I share a room with someone, and I have asked for my own room so I can get some privacy, but nothing has happened.

‘The food is not bad. There are fruits like banana, orange and apple, and we have cereal for breakfast, as well as oats and toast, and honey and jam.

‘I had sliced chicken and vegetables as a meal today, and sometimes we have pasta.’

Syrian refugee Brahaim Al Jasam, 23, who has been at the Holiday Inn for six months, said: ‘It’s very, very nice.

‘I share a room with my friend, and the food is good. All the people are good, and I don’t have a problem.’

MailOnline found Ramadan Faris, 30, who is an Iraqi Kurd, living with his wife in a tent underneath trees on the edge of the hotel’s grounds.

He explained he had spent almost four years in the hotel, arriving in the UK by a boat with his initial asylum request being turned down, only for him to have the decision reversed by a court in January this year when he appealed.

But he said he and his wife had become homeless and been forced to live in a tent because they had been unable to find anywhere else to go.

He showed MailOnline a letter from his doctor, saying that he was suffering from anxiety and depression, and urgently needed assistance to find accommodation to prevent further deterioration of his health and well-being.

Land Registry records show that the Crowne Plaza was purchased by a Jersey-registered company called R. Heathrow Propco Ltd, ultimately controlled by Mr Dayan for £85,329,994 on August 22, 2919.

Another company, R. Heathrow M4 J4 Propco Ltd, which is also ultimately owned by him, purchased the freehold of the Holiday Inn for £82,574,870 on the same day.

Both the companies are owned by other companies, which in turn are owned by a string of other firms which ultimately lead to a controlling company called UK Investment Company 210 which is at least 75 percent owned by Mr Dayan.

According to its latest accounts, the company presently has assets of £285 million, which are equal to its equity and liabilities.

It was said to have secured a loan of £261 million in 2018 with repayment due in ten years, and an outstanding balance at the end of 2023 of £149 million.

When our lives are falling apart, it is abhorrent that our British taxpayers are being used to pay for and house these migrants in hotels. Meanwhile, we have record numbers of children living in poverty and record numbers of homeless people.

Additionally, the UK economy grew by 0.7 percent today. It’s not a particularly spectacular number, but it’s not shocking when you consider the amount of money the government spends. It’s a Ponzi scheme, too.

However, our government is literally giving our country away. So, where will we go? And now, most people are saying that we should vote for Reform. Well, that’s all very well and good, but when you take deportations into account we are a bit bolloxed because our government can’t deport those who have permission to remain in this country (UK Law), and they can’t deport migrants for whome a decision has not yet been made (International Law). So, what miracle do you expect Reform to come up with?

Some of these migrants even said that when they get to the UK, they will send for their families to come here, and they will, and our crackpot government will make it happen!

All that money (£100 million) would keep our pensioners alive during the winter, but it doesn’t seem that we count in the UK anymore. This is why it has to stop! Because everybody in our government is getting extremely rich, and corruption is rampant. They are all compliant!

Taxi Driver Victim Of Assault

A taxi driver has claimed British Foreign Secretary David Lammy and his wife Nicola Green refused to settle a fare of almost £600 after he drove them more than 360 miles from Italy to a ski resort in France. 

The driver said he collected Lammy, 52 and his artist wife, 53, on April 10 at the town of Forli near Bologna after they had accompanied King Charles and Queen Camilla on a three-day state visit to Italy.

But he alleges that Lammy ‘became aggressive’ when asked for payment after he drove some six hours into the night to reach Flaine, a ski village in Haute Savoie in the French Alps. 

The driver claimed Lammy, who did not identify himself, ‘snatched the receipt from his hand’ when he said it was up to the passengers to pay €700 (£588) out of a €1,550 (£1,305) total fare – the rest of which was covered by a transfer service used to book the trip. 

When they allegedly refused to pay, the driver said he left them at their destination and drove to the local police station to lodge a complaint.

Upon arriving at the police station, officers reportedly found two diplomatic passports and two licence plates, as well as a coded briefcase, in the boot of the taxicab, allowing them to identify Lammy. 

Following the driver’s official complaint, an inquiry was launched by the Haute Savoie prosecutor’s office in Bonneville.

But the office also told French media that Lammy and his wife are suing the driver for ‘fraudulently removing luggage and cash’, with the Foreign Office declaring the Foreign Secretary ‘totally refutes’ the allegations made against him.

‘On the night of April 10-11, I was the victim of assault and violence by members of a British embassy during an international transfer, where they refused to pay me,’ the driver, a man from Avignon who remains anonymous, told La Provence.

‘GetTransfer, who used my services, was supposed to pay me the difference, €850 euros.

‘They stopped the payment. And on the spot, the customer snatched the receipt from my hands. It’s a well-known fact when you want to write the trip off as an expense report later on,’ the driver stated.

He added that, had he known who Lammy was, he would’ve charged ‘much more’.

‘They never said they were working for the government,’ the driver complained.

‘In this type of transfer, we’re driving special people, with suitcases and sensitive documents. All of that comes at a price. And they could very well have been armed, too.’ 

The driver had countersued, according to Bonneville prosecutor Boris Duffau, who also verified the legal action against Mr. Lammy and his wife.

Mr Duffau said: ‘The stories between the two parties are not the same. Of course, the passengers are not saying the same thing as the driver when he filed a complaint.

‘The passengers have assured us that the driver had already been paid. The driver said the opposite.’

The unidentified driver will now face a court hearing on November 3 to face the charge of ‘fraudulently removing luggage and cash’ after he drove off with Lammy’s belongings in the boot.

The driver allegedly submitted a notification to the British Embassy outlining the circumstances and asking that the fare be handled amicably, in addition to lodging a complaint with the local authorities.

An FCDO spokesperson told MailOnline: ‘We totally refute these allegations. The fare was paid in full. The Foreign Secretary and his wife are named as victims in this matter, and the driver has been charged with theft.

‘As there is an ongoing legal process, it would be inappropriate to comment further.’

The driver’s version of the transaction does sound credible, even if we don’t know how accurate these events are. Besides, Lammy is notoriously stingy with the truth.

Then you have Lammy sending taxpayer money to bomb civilians in the Middle East on behalf of a foreign state – he’s not a pleasant person, but then, neither is Keir Starmer.

I’m not surprised by this. We pay such high taxes, and when you consider the degree of expectation and greed at the highest levels of government and politics, the constant flying about, the semi-pointless meetings, et cetera. They then advise us on what to eat, but none of them follow through on it or even try to be more courteous.

Can you imagine their carbon footprint? Then they preach to the public about zero emissions – they’re just nasty and they’re in it to cheat the system.

It appears that Lammy is taking advantage of us to live off the fat of the land.

Nevertheless, I do find it weird that he declined to pay when he could have stuck it on his expenses tab for the taxpayer to pay, and this is a somewhat disgraceful episode for an official who is meant to be representing the UK.

Lammy seemingly also left things in the boot of the taxi – not only is this a security breach, but it’s also careless, and this should have been the primary headline.

However, it could even be that the driver of the taxicab drove off with Lammy’s belongings when he refused to pay.

I still can’t believe that David Lammy did not have his passport in his possession, nor did he have the coded briefcase within sight, and if this is the case, he should be sacked immediately.

How was his and his wife’s skiing trip, anyhow? This was a private break – there was no way that this expedition was official government business, but why was Lammy carrying a coded briefcase to go skiing on holiday – what was he going to leave it in his hotel room?

The taxpayer should not be paying for MP’s little indulgences. If they want nice things then damn well pay for them out of your own pocket and not ours! Households are on the breadline here in the UK while our MP’s are knocking back the caviar and sipping champagne. Then there are the lavish holidays abroad at 5-star hotels – bet there are no migrants there?

Come on, admit it, our government couldn’t care less about us, they never have and they never will. It’s all about being Lord of the Manor and taking what doesn’t belong to them – they steal, while we have to beg and borrow, and they all need to go! Where’s Robin Hood when you need him?

Ramp Refused To Be Lowered For Mum And Disabled Son

The mother of a disabled toddler captured the moment a bus driver left her at a bus stop when she couldn’t get her son on board.

Charles, 2, was born with numerous problems and needs a ventilator, oxygen cylinder, suction machine and feeding pump 16 hours a day, all kept under his specialist chair.

However, his mum, who did not wish to be named, says she has been denied access to buses on multiple occasions.

She said: ‘Charles has to fight for every day of his life. Once I manage to get us out the door, I just need for things to go smoothly. That’s not too much to ask.’

Most recently, she asked the driver of the 197 in Croydon to lower the ramp for a day out with her son.

Despite the weight of Charles’s equipment, he refused, instructing her to move the chair up the step by herself.

The mum said: ‘It’s awful and feels so humiliating when this happens. When I got to the soft play, I was crying.

‘Buses are Charles’s absolute obsession. Once this has happened, I just want to go home, but I can’t. I have to keep going for him.’

She said similar incidents have happened multiple times, including another that she caught on camera.

The footage was taken when she headed home from a soft play session. The driver got off the bus and offered to help carry the pushchair, but because it is a specialist chair, his mum feared it would be damaged while being lifted.

She said: ‘They just don’t care. All they have to do is press a button.

Around a third of disabled people say they have experienced issues with bus ramps, according to Transport for All.

Meg Barnett, a public affairs officer at the charity, told Metro: ‘We should all be treated with respect by staff on public transport, but 41 percent of disabled people have faced negative attitudes or behaviour from bus drivers.

‘These incidents reflect discrimination taking place on our public transport every day. It is unacceptable.

‘Transport for London (TfL) must improve training for bus drivers, working with disabled people to ensure their drivers fulfil their legal obligations and treat all passengers with equal respect.’

TfL said it is investigating.

Buses spokesperson Rosie Trew said: ‘Any unreasonable refusal to deploy the on-bus ramp is completely unacceptable and we are very sorry for the distress this has caused.

‘We are working with the bus operator to fully investigate the incidents and continue to urge anyone who experiences issues like these to report them immediately.’

Disabled children and their caregivers need all the support they can get, and that is the bottom line, not this ‘you don’t look quite disabled enough’, or that you can lift that wheelchair’ or you can walk or get out of the wheelchair’, and people that say or think this cannot imagine having any physical limitations.

Not only is this mistreatment of so-called public transport appalling, but it is disgusting for another human being even to do this.

I frequently have buses pass me since I am handicapped and use a wheelchair; these buses have an electronic ramp. They stare at me when I extend my hand and either continue driving by or stop to inform me that I am unable to board.

I don’t understand how bus drivers dare to make this choice!

The government should instruct all public transport companies they make a policy for all their workers that all disabled people, adults and children who request assistance must be supported and treated with respect, or they will be sacked.

Sadly, in the UK, the bus system is generally privatised.

Wheelchair users have priority over a pram or buggy by law.

If a wheelchair user requires entry to a bus, the buggy user is required to give up that space by either getting off the bus or folding the buggy.

While a wheelchair user has a legal right to board a bus under the Disability Act, getting a buggy aboard a bus is a privilege provided by the bus operator rather than a right.

What on earth is wrong with people? This poor little child deserves the same kindness and respect as anyone else – this was a total disgrace.

It appears that the bus driver has the last say over who is let on the bus, but it doesn’t imply they have the right to discriminate either.

The driver could clearly see that this child had a disability; you can see it as clear as day. I do hope that the driver of this bus never becomes disabled, but he should watch out for Karma.

The driver wanted to be bigoted even though he could see the youngster had equipment on the chair. I don’t understand why anybody should have to share their life story to demonstrate their necessity for a ramp.

Uneconomic Repairs At Bidborough Ridge Force Tenants Out

Tenants have been informed by a housing organisation that they must vacate their residences due to the premises’ irreparable state.

Eight families living in a two-storey block of flats in Bidborough Ridge, Bidborough, near Tunbridge Wells, have been told by Town and Country Housing they will have to move – although no date has yet been set.

Sarah Ramsden, 59, is one of the 17 tenants distressed at the news.

She said: “I’ve lived here 15 years. I am disabled and can’t do stairs. I moved here to be near my daughter, who lives in the same block and helps me.

“It’s heart-wrenching. I’ve spent years getting the garden nice and the flat just right, only to be told we have to move.”

Mrs Ramsden suffers from numerous medical complaints, including osteoporosis, arthritis and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).

Three times in the last year, she has required her daughter to call for an ambulance on her behalf.

She fears she and her daughter won’t be rehoused in the same place despite Town and Country’s assurance that they will find new housing, and she worries about where that might be.

She said: “The neighbours here are nice and it’s a pleasant place to live.

“The place I lived before – Walnut Way in High Brooms – was horrendous. The kids were forever slamming balls up against my front door and swearing at me.

“I’m terrified of going back to somewhere like that.”

The Town and Country flats at Bidborough Ridge are something of an outlier in the village. Sitting next to Bidborough Village Hall, they comprise the only social housing in a street consisting mainly of large detached private homes.

She said: “Some of the tenants here think that is why Town and Country want to demolish our homes – to sell the land and make a profit. They say the plot’s probably worth £3 million or £4 million.”

But she conceded: “All the flats here have a problem with black mould.

“I keep the mould in my flat under control by wiping it with bleach and keeping the windows and curtains open, but some of the other flats are worse.”

She said Town and Country had tried to address the issue when, two years ago, it replaced many of the flats’ windows, to little effect, and now it has decided the block needs a new roof.

In a letter to residents dated April 30, the association said the flats also needed upgrades to make sure they met new regulations around fire safety and carbon emissions.

Mrs Ramsden said: “Funny enough, a few weeks ago, they did come in and put fire-resistant doors on the cupboards in the hallway – but not on our flats.”

Town and Country told tenants it appreciated “this news can be upsetting” but said they would each benefit from an £8,100 Home Loss payment and be eligible for a disturbance allowance to cover such costs as reconnecting to utility supplies in their new properties.

Mrs Ramsden said: “The cost is likely to be a lot more than that. I imagine we will all need new curtains, new carpets and perhaps our furniture will not fit the new place.”

Her daughter is worried about bigger issues.

Mrs Ramsden said: “Danielle has three children aged 15, nine and five.

“They all go to local schools and have their friends and clubs in Bidborough.

“But there are no other Town and Country properties in Bidborough, so she’s afraid they will end up moving schools, which will be disturbing, especially for my eldest granddaughter, Willow, who’s just preparing for her GCSEs.”

A Town and Country Housing spokesman said: “As a not-for-profit organisation providing more than 13,000 homes, we need to make sure we are making sensible financial decisions and that our homes meet environmental and sustainability legislation.

“Bidborough Ridge needs extensive work to improve its energy efficiency levels, including a new roof and windows. This work would involve considerable cost and disruption, which is why we are working with residents to find them new Town and Country homes.”

“Our specialist team will be providing full support throughout, and residents will receive the statutory Home Loss payment of £8,100, providing they have lived in their current home for at least 12 months before the move date.

“They will also be eligible for a Disturbance Payment. This is to help with costs such as removal fees and disconnections, and reconnections of services, and is calculated on a case-by-case basis.

“There is no fixed deadline that residents need to move out by, but once empty, we will look to sell the property.

“All money raised will be used to further support Town and Country Housing homes and residents.”

Town and Country told residents that although the timescale for their move was “flexible,” it would “like to start as soon as possible”.

Mrs Ramsden said: “We’ve been given no choice. It seems they can do what they want to us.”

The point here should be, ‘why have Town and Country Housing allowed all their properties to go into disrepair?

On their website, Town and Country Housing state that they provide more than 13,000 affordable homes to local authority areas across Kent, Surrey and Sussex, and that over the years they have invested heavily in their homes, and continue to do so as part of the Peabody Group – well clearly that’s not true.

It also states that their residents are their number one priority so that they can help people flourish, and that they do that by providing great homes and servces, by making a positive difference to the communities they serve, so that they can provide an inclusive and inspiring place to work – evidently not true either.

These tenants should be aware of their rights and alternatives because housing stock is very small, so where are they going to put all these people? They will be entitled to compensation, but even so, that does not cover the stress that it will cause them to move.

Some children will have to relocate to other areas and that will be a stress for parents who’s children are about to take their GCSE’s and that is just not fair to these children who are our future.

Families will be divided and sent to live in different areas where they will not be able to access their family, and they will feel isolated and alone. These properties will either be demolished or given to migrants.

Housing associations get financing from the UK government, mostly through initiatives like the Affordable Homes Guarantee Scheme and the Affordable Homes Programme.

These initiatives promote the construction of inexpensive housing, such as shared-ownership and social rent dwellings, by providing grant money and low-interest loans, so why are their premises in an ‘irreparable state’?

According to reports and research, the UK government does not supply adequate funding for housing associations to meet the demand for affordable housing, and studies have suggested that a substantial increase in grant funding is required, with some estimating an extra £14 billion per year.

Additionally, despite the fact that there is a strong demand for social rent houses, as noted by Crisis and the National Housing Federation, the quantity of these homes being constructed is constrained by a shortage of funds.

Countdown To Murder

A new TV documentary about the murder of two sisters has pieced together their final hours and their mother’s suffering after they died in the ‘worst of circumstances’.

Nicole Smallman, 27, and Bibaa Henry, 46, were stabbed while celebrating the latter’s birthday at Fryent Country Park in Wembley, North West London, in June 2020.

Their killer, Danyal Hussein, was imprisoned at the Old Bailey in October 2021, aged 19, for a minimum of 35 years for savagely killing them as part of a Satanic blood pact.

They were found murdered by Ms Smallman’s boyfriend, but, in a sickening twist, the bereaved family encountered a double impact when it emerged two police officers had taken selfies with their dead bodies and shared them in two WhatsApp groups.

Metropolitan Police constables Deniz Jaffer and Jamie Lewis were then imprisoned for two years and nine months in December 2021 after admitting wrongdoing in public office.

Now, a new Sky series ‘Bibaa & Nicole: Murder in the Park’ is set to air on Sunday at 9 pm and has unravelled the story behind their killings and the police wrongdoing.

A trailer features two short clips of their mother, Mina Smallman, speaking, as she is first heard saying: ‘Bibaa and Nicole, my girls, they planned a picnic together.’

In reference to the officers sharing photographs of the sisters, she adds: ‘I’ve lost two of my daughters in the worst of circumstances. What on earth could be worse?’

The former teacher and priest has previously said that a police call handler never got back to her after she reported her daughters as missing. She has also claimed that she thought a search was not initially launched by police because of their ethnicity.

Along with the opinions of the homicide detectives working on the case, the documentary also features interviews with the tiny circle of friends and relatives who are at the heart of the hunt for the sisters.

Quotes in the trailer also included ‘no one could have expected what was going to happen’; ‘the police haven’t turned up’; ‘you should never be the person to find the one you love dead when you’ve reported them missing’; and ‘it was harrowing’.

The programme looks at how a bunch of friends had assembled in the park as pandemic lockdown rules started to relax, as they celebrated Ms Henry’s birthday.

As night fell, several of the group slowly made their way home, but the two sisters remained in the park and continued to dance into the night. They never came home.

In the early hours of June 6, 2020, Hussein had stalked his victims. He later stabbed Ms Henry eight times, before he slashed Ms Smallman 28 times as she fought back.

He then dragged them into bushes where they lay undiscovered for 36 hours.

On the evening of June 6, the sisters’ anxious loved ones reported them missing, but officers were not deployed to the park until the following day.

The remains were discovered by Adam Stone, Ms. Smallman’s boyfriend, before their arrival.

Officers then searched and identified the DNA of an unidentified male from blood on the knife, bodies and surrounding location.

Then on June 30, a DNA familial link was made to Hussein’s father, who had a past caution. 

Within an hour-and-a-half, Hussein was identified on CCTV purchasing knives in Asda and returning home after the killings.

Police later discovered a handwritten pledge to a demonic entity called ‘King Lucifuge Rofocale’ to kill six women every six months, which was marked in blood. 

But in a startling turn of events, two police officers had taken pictures of the women’s bodies and posted them on WhatsApp.

The Old Bailey was informed that the responsibility of safeguarding the scene fell to Jaffer and Lewis, neither of whom was wearing forensic gear.

While at the scene, Jaffer took four photos of the bodies in situ and Lewis took two, and superimposed his face on a third to create a ‘selfie-style’ picture.

According to the court, Hussein was able to present the ficticious defence that the damning DNA evidence could have been tainted because of the officers’ actions.

The Old Bailey was also told that Hussein had embarked on a ‘campaign of vengeance’ against random women in a failed bid to win the Mega Millions Super Jackpot lottery prize of £321 million.

Hussein researched the far-right and Norse mythology online before the murders, and he talked to others about demons and love potions.

Hussein refused to testify during his trial, arguing that he had nothing to do with the murders or the pact’s composition.

However, he was convicted of two murder charges and knife possession.

Former Met Commissioner Dame Cressida Dick issued a public apology in 2021 on behalf of the force to the family.

This is absurd; he should have been sentenced to life in jail without the possibility of release.

The problem is that, although we are all aware of how jail terms ought to operate in the UK, they frequently don’t.

The judge ought to have given Danyal Hussein a life sentence since he is just too dangerous to ever be freed.

These police officers’ sharing of selfies, which is completely reprehensible, ruined the dignity of these young girls even after they passed away, and yet these police officers are allegedly protecting our streets, which is utterly disgraceful.

Frankly, what kind of people does the position of a police officer entice?

It seems there are many morally corrupt men and women walking around with warrant cards. I mean, just look at the utterly appalling breaches of trust we have come to learn about, let alone the ones that have been covered up by the Met.

The misuse of power by individuals in positions of authority is a severe issue that is only worsening.

Since today’s police forces, particularly the Met, are falling short of the public’s expectations on several levels, we must devise a whole new strategy to safeguard our citizens and uphold the law.

The police force’s decision-makers appear to lack any common sense, and because they are the most dangerous, they need to be watching out for those who use their badge to gain power.

They are low life scum, and are behaving like animals, although we shouldn’t speak badly of animals.

Evil is a part of our society now, and this was a sickening crime. Danyal Hussein should never be freed from prison because his actual motivation was hatred of women. He said that he wanted to kill two women every six months, so why was this not highlighted in the media at the time? Because the increase in misogyny is now being overlooked in our society.

This is the Met police again delivering the quality of service we’ve come to accept but also despise. This is the quality of waste we accept – I guess we should just be thankful that these police officers didn’t go on a killing binge themselves so that they could keep the selfies rolling in. Hopefully, their punishment will teach them a valuable lesson, or maybe not.

However, we shouldn’t tarnish the entire police force – the vast majority are decent, although I wouldn’t want their jobs, but it does make you wonder why the public has lost all respect for the police, particularly the Metropolitan police, and these police officers are the dregs of our society.
