In The UK, How Many People Sleep Rough?

There were 3,898 people estimated to be sleeping rough on a single night in autumn 2023 in England. However, as I wander the streets, I am sure there is much more than this.

Research suggests that up to 3 percent of people sleeping rough in England are veterans. This means around 300 to 400 veterans end up on the streets every year, and up to 4,000 require urgent support to find accommodation.

Across English regions and Wales, the highest percentage of people identified as homeless was in London; 24.8 percent of all people identified as homeless were located in this region (3,460 people).

Many of these British soldiers suffer from PTSD and get no support at all, yet they have fought for their country, served in the British Armed Forces and then just get thrown to the ground to fend for themselves.

Sadly, many former soldiers and other military personnel can become vulnerable after service to their country and not well equipped, and many need help and guidance but they’re not getting that.

Did you know there are more than 260,000 long-term empty homes in England, yet the government tells us there is insufficient accommodation?

Since so many individuals lack a house, many unoccupied properties exist. All that has to be done is locate the owners of these properties and collaborate with them to repurpose them for families in need.

These empty homes are not only a waste of much-needed resources but could also be a problem in themselves with fires and drug users getting into them.

Additionally, children break into them and use them as a lair; as a result, they attract antisocial conduct.

Many become homeless due to life circumstances such as substance abuse, marital breakdown, job loss, mental or physical health issues, or inability to pay rent. All of this causes a great deal of stress on people.

I have personally witnessed unoccupied council or housing association properties for several months before someone enters to tidy them up, either due to a death in the family or an eviction due to antisocial activity. It’s unacceptable, and housing organisations and municipalities who act carelessly in this regard ought to pay the rent on the house they would have been able to obtain. When you consider the amount of money involved, it is incumbent upon British voters to choose the best use and destination for this money because the UK government doesn’t care about its citizens, but boat people they’re happy to give millions to!

After Leaving His HMO, A Homeless Man Lives In A Clothes Bin

A homeless man has revealed how he is living inside a tiny clothes bin and bedding down for the night in the ‘comfiest bed I’ve ever slept in’.

Five weeks ago, the unsecured container was found close to a church parking lot in the Erdington neighbourhood of Birmingham by Nigel, a former heroin user.

The 52-year-old, born and raised in London, now sleeps in the donation bin before going to the streets to beg.

Footage shows how Nigel has set up a mini home for himself with bedding and duvets—and it even has his own ‘library’ with a selection of books and a ‘beer shelf’.

Nigel said he found himself on the streets of Birmingham after being put up in a multiple occupancy house with drug addicts in Northampton.

While giving a tour of his new home, Nigel, who said he left his shared house in a bid to stay clean, said that no one has thrown clothes in the bin while he’s been inside—but if they did, he would say ‘thank you’.

In an interview with the Birmz is Grime blog, Nigel says he was hoping to find a permanent place to stay in Coventry but was happy in Erdington in the meantime.

In addition, despite having spent most of his life sleeping rough, he shared his goal of founding his own organisation to aid the homeless.

Nigel said, ‘I’ve been living in the clothes bin for four or five weeks. I realised it was open. It’s warm inside and it’s waterproof.

‘It’s more comfortable than any bed I’ve ever had. There’s my library, there’s my beer shelf.

‘Nobody has put clothes in while I’ve been inside. If they did, I think I’d say ‘thank you’ and they will be like, ‘Hang on, the bin’s talking to me.’

‘I’m totally off the heroin but a few beers help me sleep at night. I’m waiting on Coventry Council to rehome a bloke and then I might get a place somewhere, hopefully.

‘I’ll have a little drink here—but I’ve been clean of drugs since Christmas Eve. Before that, it was crack and heroin. It made me feel numb.

‘But I love it here, I love Erdington, I have always loved Erdington. The people are nice. I’ll probably get about £10 a day but that’s enough.

‘If someone else comes up and says I’ve been begging here two or three years, I’ll just say give me 20 minutes and I’ll move. I’ve not had no real problems.’

Nigel said he started boozing again around eight weeks ago after he was put in an HMO in Northampton.

He said: ‘They were taking drugs and drinking so I walked out of there. So I’ve been between here and Northampton since.

‘I grew up in London and my family moved to Surrey when I was 12. I left home at 16 because my dad kept beating me up.

‘I lost my girlfriend and got jobs as a mechanic and plastering and I didn’t start doing class A’s until I was 31 and it all went downhill.

‘Most of my mates are dead now from drink and drugs. The youngest one was 31. The others were in their 50s and 60s.

‘I’m trying to get into a home in Coventry and then I want to set up a charity to help the homeless and needy. I have three trustees already in line.

‘I want to help drug addicts, alcoholics and the homeless. I first wanted to do it 30 years ago when I was homeless and I’ve been thinking about it ever since.

‘But thinking about something and doing something is two different things though.’

The footage of Nigel talking about his plight has been viewed more than 600,000 times in just 24 hours.

Hundreds of immigrants have arrived by boat, and every organisation is doing all in its power to support them. Our people, many of whom are former soldiers, are homeless in the interim. This winter, shelters will be overflowing with people; those who are without a place to stay will receive sleeping bags only. It’s an absolute disgrace.

We are being invaded, and guess what, we are paying for the invasion.

Our government are happy to look after those who are coming across the seas by boat, but those people who were born in the UK and fought for the Queen and country and now the King don’t seem to exist. Perhaps they could manufacture more of these bins for the migrants that are coming over?

Our British-born are sleeping like this, some are even found dead where they have been living rough. No warm hotel for them! So, how many more are going to be found dead this winter in shop doorways and garages?

A Boy Abducted In 1951 Was Found Alive 73 Years Later

Seventy-three years later, the 1951 Oakland kidnapping of a six-year-old child has been solved, and amazingly, there’s a happy ending.

Thanks to the persistent efforts of his devoted niece, who never gave up on finding her long-lost family, Luis Armando Albino has been located safe and healthy.

On February 21, 1951, Albino, now 79 years old, was kidnapped by a lady from a West Oakland park where he was playing with his ten-year-old elder brother, Roger.

The woman got his attention and lured him away by tricking him, promising that she would buy him candy.

Little Luis was then flown across the country to the East Coast where he was raised by a New York City couple as if he were their own son.

Luis’s mother never gave up on the possibility that he would one day return, safe and sound. Sadly, she died in 2005 at the age of 92 without ever finding out what had become of her much-missed son.

Only early this year, an interested and determined niece of Luis’s utilised DNA testing and information from newspaper clippings in her quest for the truth, leading to a breakthrough in the case.

The 63-year-old niece, Alida Alequin, had stayed in Oakland and was determined to locate her long-lost uncle. With assistance from the Department of Justice, the FBI, and local police, she was able to piece together the evidence.

Oakland police say her efforts ‘played an integral role in finding her uncle.’

Since he had been taken from his family, Luis appeared to have led quite the life having worked as a firefighter and served in the Marine Corps, including two tours of duty in Vietnam. He had also become a father and grandfather himself.

For the first time in 73 years, the 83-year-old brothers Luis and Roger were able to reunite thanks to Alida’s efforts.

She told Mercury News how her uncle ‘hugged me and said, “Thank you for finding me” and gave me a kiss on the cheek.’ 

The reunion was bittersweet with Roger having recently been diagnosed with cancer and not having much time left to live.

‘They grabbed each other and had a really tight, long hug. They sat down and just talked,’ Alida said as the pair caught up on the past including their military service and what happened on the day of the kidnapping.

This past July, Luis had one final encounter with his brother before Roger passed away in August, a month later.

‘I think he died happily. He was at peace with himself, knowing that his brother was found. I was just so happy I was able to do this for him and bring him closure and peace,’ Alida said. 

As for Luis’ mother and Alida’s grandma, she believes that she would have been ‘very happy, most definitely. She never forgot him. She always said he was still alive. She had hoped she would see him. She never gave up that hope.’

‘I’m so happy that I was able to do this for my mom and (uncle). It was a very happy ending,’ she said. ‘I was always determined to find him, and who knows, with my story out there, it could help other families going through the same thing. I would say, don’t give up.’

Although Luis hasn’t talked to the media yet, he does remember certain details of his captivity.

Frustratingly, the adults surrounding him in New York refused to answer any questions as to why he was abducted, and he was never told what was going on. 

The people he believed were his parents have since died.  

Luis, the eldest of five siblings, had been playing at West Oakland’s former Jefferson Square Park.

Police, together with Coast Guard personnel and army soldiers, combed the region and San Francisco Bay after his kidnapping.

In an attempt to aid, the FBI was also brought in, but the matter was abandoned.

Luis’ mother would frequently stop by the police missing person bureau to check on the situation; at first, she would go every day, then every week, then every month, and finally, once a year. However, it seemed that the authorities were no closer to discovering the truth.

‘She always felt he was alive. She took that with her to her grave’ Alida said. 

‘All this time the family kept thinking of him,’ she continued. ‘I always knew I had an uncle. We spoke of him a lot. My grandmother carried the original article in her wallet, and she always talked about him. A picture of him was always hung at the family home.’

However, Alida was the one who started things off when she did an online DNA test for fun in 2020.

It wasn’t until later this year that Alida’s daughters began probing the case once again and looked up Luis’ name online.

Pictures of him found on microfilm at the Oakland Public Library only served to reassure them the man they were looking at was indeed their long-lost uncle.

The FBI and the state Department of Justice were once again involved in a newly established missing people investigation.

It was discovered that Luis was residing on the East Coast, and he even submitted a DNA sample to verify his identity.

Investigators went around to Alida’s mother’s home (Luis and Roger’s sister) to confirm that Luis had finally been found.

‘In my heart, I knew it was him and when I got the confirmation, I let out a big “YES!”‘, Alida said.

‘We didn’t start crying until after the investigators left. I grabbed my mom’s hands and said, “We found him.” I was ecstatic.’

The FBI claims that the kidnapping is still under investigation even if the case involving the missing individuals has been closed.

This is an incredible story, but it is such a shame that his brother Roger only met him for a short time before he passed away, but hopefully he is at peace now knowing that his brother had been found after such a long time, and the niece was incredible, but I would like to learn more about the people who abducted Luis. Perhaps a documentary is on the horizon? But we mustn’t embolden his abusers either.

No more than serial killers should be placed on a symbolic pedestal in the media out of the same fascination, these kidnappers should not be honoured in a curiosity documentary, but then I suppose it depends on how the documentary is approached.

Provided that it eschewed any joyous material in favour of an educational one, giving us a peek into the place where he was kidnapped, the type of upbringing he had, and maybe some explanation for why he was kidnapped, surrendered to, or sold to.

Thanks to social media sleuths, DNA testing, Amber Alerts, and other initiatives, there is hope for the recovery of kidnapped children in the twenty-first century. A documentary would not only be fascinating, but it would also be educational, giving hope to families whose children are missing and the tools and assistance they sorely want.

This man who was abducted probably grew to love his new family and didn’t want to hurt them. He was clearly looked after, and perhaps the people who illegally adopted him had no idea that he’d been kidnapped.

There’s only the mention of ‘his new family’ and also the article stating that the FBI still has an open case for finding the abductors, which leaves the impression that they’re not the same people who adopted him.

I’m very glad he had a happy ending, even if his mother passed away without knowing where her son was. She probably thought about his whereabouts every day. By far, the cruellest thing I can imagine is losing a child.

Young children will not remember things about themselves, let alone their parents’ details, where they live, or what school they go to. Most children, if you asked their mother’s name would just say ‘Mom’.

This child could have been told anything about her parents. That they had died in a horrific car accident. The boy could have been abducted by what looked like a policeman in uniform and he was being taken to his aunt or uncle or another family member. Easy thing to do, because a child’s mind is like a sponge and easy to manipulate.

Pub Beer Garden Ploughed Through By Driver

All charges against a diabetic motorist who crashed into a beer garden, killing two adults and three children, have been dropped, allowing him to leave the courtroom.

In Ballarat Magistrates Court this week, William Swale, 66, was the subject of a three-day committal hearing where he challenged 14 charges, including five counts of negligent driving causing death, related to the fatal incident that occurred in November 2023.

The type-1 diabetic, who was diagnosed in 1994, claimed he suffered a ‘severe hypoglycaemic attack’ while driving his white BMW SUV when it crashed into patrons outside the Royal Daylesford Hotel.

Five individuals were sitting in the beer garden of the bar when Swale scaled a curb and killed them: Pratibha Sharma, 44; her daughter Anvi, 9; boyfriend Jatin Kumar, 30; and their friend Vivek Bhatia, 38, and his son Vihaan, 11.

Testimony was given by diabetes specialists, police, paramedics, and a witness who, within minutes of the collision, saw Swale seated behind the wheel and appearing “wasted.”

Magistrate Guillaume Bailin on Thursday found the prosecution case was flawed and there was not enough evidence to support a conviction on any of the 14 charges.

The retired man, born in New Zealand, sat tensely during the hearing, his head bent and his arms folded. When the charges were dropped, he expressed relief.

The magistrate harshly criticised how the Crown had presented its case against Swale in rendering his ruling.

‘The evidence is so weak that the prospects of conviction are minimal,’ the magistrate told the court. 

‘This is a case where there is a hypothesis consistent with innocence that so fundamentally weakens the case,’ he continued. 

‘It is reasonably possible the accused was suffering a severe hypoglycemic event, the result of which means his actions in driving from 5.36 pm onwards were not voluntary.

‘As such, I discharge the accused on all charges.’

His barrister, Dermot Dann KC, asked the court to discharge the entire case against Swale as his client was unconscious at the time of the collision due to suffering a ‘severe hypoglycaemic attack’.

However, Swale was a long-time diabetic and should have known the risks of his blood sugar dropping before getting into the car to drive, according to prosecutor Jeremy McWilliams.

‘He’s well aware of the risks of having low blood sugar levels… of recognising his own personal suite of symptoms for falling blood glucose levels and what to do to remedy or rectify those circumstances,’ Mr McWilliams said.

‘Here we have a driver that is very aware of what the consequences of driving in an environment of low blood sugar are—it’s loss of control.’

Witnesses on the scene in the immediate aftermath described Mr Swale as non-responsive, appearing ‘wasted’ and drifting in and out of consciousness as he just sat in the car, the court was told.

It comes after Swale was revealed to be a wealthy artist and property tycoon who once complained to his local council about road safety.

The man experienced a medical crisis, and these kinds of things happen to individuals all the time. Yes, as long as the driver takes specific measures, such as monitoring their blood sugar before leaving and, if the trip is long, every two hours after starting to drive, they can drive with type 1 or type 2 diabetes.

This tragedy may have been prevented, but as with everyone with a handicap, there should be particular requirements that are included on the driver’s licence and DVLA website.

Naturally, some may argue that he wasn’t supposed to be driving. That he did not escape punishment and it was his responsibility; in reality, he will have to deal with this for the rest of his life, knowing full well that he killed people, including children.

In this case, it wasn’t the number of people that got killed; it was the fact that this man was a diabetic and had no control over his circumstances at the time and could not have done anything to prevent this at that moment.

It’s high time that DVLA laws are changed!

A Met Officer Stole The Bank Cards Of Two Dead Men

After receiving a sentence of more than three years in jail, the face of a Metropolitan Police officer who searched the pockets of two deceased individuals to take their bank cards was made public.

Muhammed Mustafa Darr, 39, took the cards when he was called out to deal with the two sudden, unexplained deaths.

In December 2018, Darr took one from Howard Smith, and six months later, he took another from Alasdair Burnside.

A laptop and a Louis Vuitton purse were also taken from a suspect’s car by the dishonest police officer.

Six months into his work, Darr started misusing his position by accessing the police database and giving information to three separate individuals who were not affiliated with the police department.

He purchased a Fitbit watch from John Lewis using Mr Smith’s card, according to testimony given at Southwark Crown Court, and then went back to the department store to spend £637 on Apple goods.

He bought an iPad and other items using Mr Burnside’s account, and he tried to use the card for two more purchases but was denied.

Three counts of misconduct in public service were acknowledged by Darr, who has since resigned.

The sisters of Mr Burnside testified at the Southwark Crown Court hearing and provided victim impact statements.

Julia Burnside said, ‘Muhammed Mustafa Darr violated our brother’s body, stole his property, his identity, and his good name.

‘We trusted the Metropolitan Police to respect our brother’s body and his belongings.

‘It is chilling to reveal how vulnerable Alasdair was, with Muhammed Mustafa Darr in his flat.

‘We have completely lost confidence in the Metropolitan Police.

‘Muhammed Mustafa Darr and the Metropolitan Police must be held responsible.

‘This must never happen again.’

Kirsty Burnside said in her statement, ‘Following my brother’s untimely death, I remain feeling completely horrified and disgusted at the actions of Muhammed Mustafa Darr.

‘I am aware that Mr Darr was left alone in my brother’s address.

‘Mr Darr had no respect for my brother’s dignity.

‘Mr Darr queried why my brother’s eyes looked ‘weird and funny.’

‘At this point, I thought maybe this might be the first dead body he had seen.

‘He kept describing the eyes as funny.’

Ms Burnside asked him not to do so but he continued and went on to describe Mr Burnside’s decomposing legs.

‘He callously continued; I found this particularly distressing and cold-hearted,’ Ms Burnside said.

‘I witnessed him opening the evidence bag that had my brother’s front door keys, which he did hand over.’

The family wanted to have Mr Burnside’s phone back, as it contained photos, but Darr claimed the phone was lost and said: ‘These things happen.’

It was never found again.

It does raise the question of how many other high-ranking individuals have access to people’s personal information and then sell it to other businesses. Or perhaps, people in places like the Home Office who access different immigration systems so that they can grant leave to friends, family, or people who they receive payment from because fraudulent behaviour is rife.

The fact is that the UK is inundated with hostiles in every facet of the workplace, including government, and it has gone unchecked for a very long time because of the complacency of various security services up to the Defence Ministers.

The police in the UK are no longer fit for purpose and much of what it does certainly doesn’t act in the best interest of the people. It’s been institutionally wokerised.

In A Tragic Accident, A 13-Year-Old Girl Was Left On A Sofa To Die

A teenager who was left to die on the sofa while watching Tipping Point could hear her mother having sex with random men after her bedroom door was removed and not replaced, an inquiry has heard.

Mother Sharon Goldie, 49, thought her 13-year-old daughter was ‘exaggerating’ and just had a stomach bug so she refused to let her go to the hospital in Wishaw, Lanarkshire, in 2018.

She left Robyn on the sofa to watch TV while she went to the pub but returned to find her unresponsive on the sofa. The mother sat outside drinking with a friend and later checked on her daughter, who had stopped breathing. Robyn died after developing peritonitis and a perforated duodenal ulcer.

An inquiry into her death heard Goldie had been ‘entertaining men at home drunk’, some of whom behaved ‘inappropriately’ towards Robyn.

Robyn’s bedroom door had also been removed and never replaced, with the schoolgirl suspected of having been exposed to her mother’s sexual activity.

Maggie Mellon, an independent social worker who compiled a report on the case, told the inquiry there was ‘disturbing’ evidence about what Robyn was experiencing.

Mellon, 70, said: ‘The biggest question was whether she could safely stay in her mother’s care and it was thought she could be made safe through advice and guidance.

‘There was some disturbing evidence being known, such as that Robyn did not have a bedroom door, which had been taken off by Sharon and had never been put back again.

‘Her mother had been entertaining men at home drunk and Robyn had been exposed to her mother’s sexual activity and there were adult men in the house behaving inappropriately towards Robyn in the home.’

Mellon also revealed Goldie told social workers that she did not want to look after Robyn following her return to live with her.

She added: ‘I’m conscious that she was very stressed and didn’t want to look after her because of the stress it was causing her.’

Mellon said she was unsure how much Goldie, who suffered a brain injury in the 1980s, was aware of how ill Robyn was before she died.

Mellon said: ‘I think Sharon might not have known how ill Robyn was because she was being told to be firm, have boundaries and be there for her daughter, but I’m not sure how much Sharon understood and clearly she did not understand that Robyn was critically ill.’ 

Goldie was jailed for three years and six months in 2020 after admitting wilful ill-treatment and neglect between July 2017 and July 2018.

The social workers and the system gave the mother too many chances, and this leads to bad situations like this, the loss of life.

Unfortunately, reform is not going to occur, and local government is moving far too slowly, particularly when it comes to social services. Too many rights are granted to abusive parents, but what about the children’s rights?

Sadly, the removal of children who are at risk takes a long time because there are a lot of meetings, reports, etc. For these kids that require them, there aren’t enough foster homes or care facilities. These kinds of kids need to be helped by a system, but will the necessary adjustments be financially supported?

Of course, the mother was to blame for her daughter’s death, but if social services had intervened much sooner, this poor girl might not have been dead. They were aware of what was going on and still did nothing, very neglectful. The mother was charged for neglect, and so should have social services.

A Furious Keir Starmer

According to Keir Starmer, during the summer riots, Britain almost ran out of jail space.

Describing his ‘anger’ at the scenes of jubilant prisoners celebrating their early release last week, the Prime Minister said he had been left with no choice but to let out hundreds of criminals.

Around 1,700 prisoners were released early last week, including robbers, drug dealers, and even killers. Thousands more are due to be let out early in the coming months to ease prison overcrowding.

In sickening scenes last week, prisoners celebrated outside jails, with some thanking Sir Keir personally for their release.

Speaking to reporters while travelling in Italy, the PM said the decision had left him ‘angry’.

‘I spent five years prosecuting and putting people in prison and being forced to release people who should be in prison makes me angry,’ he said.

‘But the choice was pretty simple. We’d got to the point where prisons were so full we had the choice between releasing people in the way that we’ve done it or not being able to arrest people and put them in prison. 

‘You can imagine the impact on law and order in this country if we’d reached a place where police could not make the necessary arrests day by day, and you’d be having some pretty hard questions for me if we’d got to that stage.’

Sir Keir said that during the summer riots, which led to hundreds of arrests, he had stood in the government’s emergency Cobra room ‘literally having to plot how many prison places we had in order to assess whether we could contain the disorder’.

He added: ‘No prime minister should be in that position.’

The PM said ministers were now working to accelerate the provision of new prison places, although early releases are expected to continue for at least 18 months.

‘What we’ve got to do about it now, we’ve obviously got to take this measure, which I didn’t want to take. We are going to change the planning laws to make sure where we need prisons we can get them built much more quickly,’ he said.

‘We’ve already fast-tracked or tried to move forward some of the projects in play, but we’re doing everything we can to try to make sure we’ve got the capacity, but to be put into a position where it’s a choice because prisons are so overcrowded that it’s a release scheme the likes of which we had to go down, or a point where the police say we cannot carry out our basic functions, is not a position I should have been put in.’

Sir Keir said that Rishi Sunak had received numerous warnings to take action over jail overcrowding and attributed the problem to the previous Tory government.

Nonetheless, Tory insiders claim that ministers are inflating the issue and point out that Labour chose the specifics of the early release plan.

So, let me get this straight. Our PM is angry that he’s had to let loads of criminals out of prison, but he’d done it anyway. Did he do this without much decision making or were his hands tied? However, I’m never surprised that ministers are always surprised at the consequences of their actions.

Keir Starmer is unfit and unqualified to serve as our prime minister, and the members of his cabinet that he picked are merely unskilled individuals standing in queues to push their political beliefs on the people of this nation.

Let’s face it, he’s not the sharpest pencil in the box, is he? And he will only get worse now that he has ‘free reign’, which is not only half the problem but also he’s like a kid in a candy shop, with not much upstairs.

David Lammy Says Keir Starmer’s And Victoria Starmer’s Clothes Aren’t Taxpayer-Funded

Keir Starmer took thousands of pounds from a millionaire Labour donor to pay for designer suits because the taxpayer doesn’t pick up the bill, the Foreign Secretary suggested.

David Lammy lamented that there was no public funding for the wardrobe of the Prime Minister, who is paid £166,000 a year, or his wife Victoria in the same way as there is for the US President and First Lady.

It came as the PM came under fire for allegedly breaking parliamentary rules by failing to declare donations of clothing, alterations, and a personal shopper for Lady Starmer from Waheed Alli.

The gifts were not initially mentioned in the register of MPs’ interests. The Sunday Times claimed that the Prime Minister sought the parliamentary authorities on Tuesday to make a late declaration after being given revised information on what needed to be recorded.

Lord Alli hit the headlines last month when it was revealed he contributed more than £18,000 towards Sir Keir’s suits and spectacles. 

Appearing on Sky News’ Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips, Mr Lammy suggested the PM had been ‘transparent’. 

Asked if he realised the situation would look ‘odd’ to voters, he replied, ‘I recognise that, but I also recognise that in our country there isn’t a budget for the PM’s clothes or his wife’s clothes. 

‘In some countries, there is a substantial budget—I have just come back from America, where there is a substantial budget to ensure that the US President and the First Lady’s appearance can never be challenged. 

That is not that case in our country. So it is the case that successive leaders of the opposition wanting to represent the country on an international stage and PMs have used donors to fund that budget; that is the truth of it.’

The US president receives a salary of around £305,000 (400,000 US dollars) and a £38,100 (50,000 dollar) expenses allowance, although there is no specific clothing budget. 

But Tory leadership candidate James Cleverly told Sky News: ‘It’s absolutely legitimate that we point out the hypocrisy of someone who basically got his job by criticising others for what he’s now doing.’

Now, the Tory party has insisted on a thorough examination of the Starmers’ connections to well-known Labour contributor Lord Alli.

A Conservative Party spokesman said: ‘It’s taken just 10 weeks for Keir Starmer to face an investigation for his conduct.

‘After facing allegations of cronyism and now apparent serious breaches of parliamentary rules, there must be a full investigation into the passes for glasses scandal.

‘No doubt the millions of vulnerable pensioners across the country who face choosing between heating and eating would jump at the chance for free clothes just to keep warm in the face of Labour’s cruel cut.’

The Sunday Times also revealed that the contributions paid for Lady Starmer’s clothing, alterations, and personal shopping before and after Labour won the July election.

Seeing as MPs have voted to remove the Winter Heating Allowance from some pensioners. Perhaps removing MPs expenses as a ‘cost-cutting’ endeavour so that it can be put back into the £22 billion ‘black hole’. After all, EVERYONE has to make sacrifices, including the Prime Minister and his cronies, don’t they? Of course, they do!

Reeves blocked the Treasury from outlining the workings of the £22 billion ‘black hole’, which suggests it didn’t exist. However, on the same day, she created an £8 billion deficit with the inflation-busting pay deals to doctors and railway workers. Also, when Lammy was Shadow Foreign Secretary, he demanded that the Tory government detail the arms licence to Israel but now he is refusing to publish them. Pot calling the kettle black. No wonder MPs are minted!

Turkish Mafia’s Deadly Grip On British Youth

What connects the Turkish underworld, a horrifying torture-murder, and a missing adolescent?

A brief report on a juvenile missing person appeared on a Sussex news website on April 15, 2021.

Dylan Weatherley was 17 at the time, 5 feet 6 inches tall, of medium build, and last seen wearing a hooded navy tracksuit with a yellow Nike logo, black Jordan One trainers, and a blue puffer jacket.

The article said: ‘He has links to Tottenham, Crawley and Brighton.’

Dylan appeared shortly after.

He was handed a referral order, which meant he would not be going to jail, after being found guilty of possessing Class A narcotics at East Hampshire Magistrates Court around this time.

He had clearly been involved in county lines drug dealing in those affluent parts of Sussex and Hampshire, with cocaine or heroin supplied by the Tottenham Turks.

In January 2022, The Argus website again reported that Dylan, still 17, had gone missing from ‘his home in Chichester.’

Sussex Police reported they were ‘concerned for his welfare.’

Again, Dylan turned up alive and well.

However, nine months later, in October 2022, he was a major player in Koray Alpergin’s kidnapping, torture, and murder back in north London.

His instructions originated from the Tottenham Turks, one of the two main organised criminal groups (OCGs) that have their origins in the north London Turkish and Kurdish population, which has fifty thousand members.

The Tottenham Turks’ arch-rivals are the Bombacilar (Turkish for Bombers), who hail from Hackney.

Together, the two OCGs control a large portion of the heroin market in Britain, and they have started branching out into other substances like cocaine lately.

Both supply narcotics, usually on credit, to county lines gangs who sell it in the home counties, the south coast, and further afield.

The Turkish gangs also act as ‘wholesalers’, selling drugs, especially heroin, to English, Scottish, and Welsh OCGs, who are the ‘retailers’ in cities like Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, Newcastle, Glasgow, Cardiff, and Swansea.

There are a few instances of the Turkish gangs getting into disputes with other crews, like the Albanians, but they save their most bloodcurdling violence for each other.

Due to their involvement in drug trafficking and other illegal operations in the UK, the Tottenham Turks and the Hackney Bombacilar have accumulated hundreds of millions of pounds over the years.

Their money is easily laundered in legitimate businesses in London, like minicab businesses, barbers’ shops, kebab shops, and other small businesses, as well as through property investments in London and the home counties.

The people of this country don’t deserve any of this. The Conservatives failed and the present government won’t be doing any better, and I do fear for our future generations.

The criminal justice system is a farce, and our present administration is making matters worse by releasing violent offenders after just 40 percent of their sentences. As for foreign criminals, they should all be deported!

Immigration and the police force both need greater funding. Regarding deportations, we must be more powerful, enact harsher laws, and amend existing ones. If our government wants to deport these criminals but chooses not to, then we need to have the authority to do so. There is no legal defence in this case; an immigrant must be deported if they are found to have committed a crime or are suspected of committing one.

However, all of this would require a backbone, but Labour would rather attack pensioners.

Why don’t we send these Turkish offenders back to their home country to complete their sentences? It would certainly be more of a deterrent, less enjoyable for criminals, and less expensive for our British taxpayers.

Christmas Food Deliveries Are Under Threat

New EU border controls are posing a danger to the food supply chain that supplies Britain for Christmas, truck drivers have warned.

The new checks require all non-EU passengers at Dover to have fingerprint and facial recognition checks.

Logistics UK claims that this would impede the movement of products and that there are concerns that the inspections may cause traffic congestion that stretches for miles, which might cause vacationers to be delayed.

The EU is preparing to roll out its new Entry/Exit System (EES) on November 10 and Logistics UK said the changes threaten to disrupt lorry traffic during the onset of winter when the UK is reliant on imported goods.

Nichola Mallon, head of trade at Logistics UK, told The Telegraph: ‘If the EES is implemented as planned, I’m afraid we’re facing huge upheaval in the supply chain.

‘The Government needs to take the lead now on raising awareness among the public, managing their expectations and signposting where they can go for advice.’

Calculations suggest the EES could increase processing times for a car with a family of four from less than 60 seconds to seven minutes.

Additionally, the Imperial College London study indicates that lines lengthen by almost 10 kilometres for every additional minute.

Dover is braced for delays of up to 14 hours, with Kent County Council warning jams could be ‘much worse’ than 23-mile tailbacks seen in 2022.

The new system requires people waiting in cars and lorries at Dover to scan their fingerprints and photos, with the information being stored for three years.

Additionally, passengers boarding the Eurostar trains at St Pancras International and the Eurotunnel vehicle shuttle at Folkestone will be led to designated booths.

Dover and Eurotunnel handled 54 percent of all UK trade with continental Europe last year.

Logistics UK estimates the cost of border delays at £1.30 a minute, with a 14-hour hold-up costing £1,100 in additional expense per truck.

The group also warns an average 90-minute extension to journeys would cost the economy £400 million a year and any extra cost will be passed onto consumers.

However, according to European officials, the system would fight identity fraud by forcing the gathering of biometric data and will make the EU safer by detecting visitors who overstay their visas.

Those who refuse to have a picture taken or their fingerprints scanned will be denied entry into the Schengen travel area.

More needless attempts to instill fear among consumers. Like the majority of other merchants, our stores have their Christmas merchandise already stored in their warehouses. To allay concerns about, say, veggies, simply purchase them frozen and keep them in the freezer until Christmas.

Stores keep Christmas puddings in cages in their warehouse before they put them onto the shelves. Although it’s terrible keeping Christmas puddings in cages, I only buy free range!

Tubs of Christmas chocolate are already stocked on the shelves of ASDA stores. If you’re concerned that there won’t be enough food for everyone for Christmas, just purchase everything now and freeze it. It’s Christmas Day; the food doesn’t matter as long as your family is there!

There is a shortage of one item or another around Christmas time every year, yet shops nonetheless enthusiastically promote their products. Some people may be working together to increase sales and profits.

This pre-Christmas is scaremongering every year, but nobody goes without their turkey, do they? As always, project fear.
