Madeleine McCann’s Disappearance Is Now Being Investigated By Just Four Officers

Only four UK police officers are continuing to investigate the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, as the Met reveals resources have been stripped back by 90 per cent.

Just three UK police officers and a civilian member of staff continue to work on the case part-time, the force has revealed today.

It comes as Madeleine’s parents—Kate and Gerry McCann—marked their daughter’s 21st birthday today with a heartbreaking message. 

Private investigator Julian Peribañez has disclosed that he is returning to the family’s vacation residence in Praia da Luz, where Madeleine vanished 17 years ago, despite the police effort being scaled back.

In 2007, Madeleine’s parents engaged Mr Peribañez from the Metodo 3 business to look into leads that the Portuguese police were not looking into.

DCI Mark Cranwell, who oversees the British investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, told MailOnline: ‘We continue to support Madeleine’s family to understand what happened on the evening of 3 May, 2007 in Praia da Luz. 

‘Our thoughts remain with the family.’

When Gerry and Kate went to eat at a tapas bar 120 metres away on that fateful May 3, 2007, they left their three children—including the toddler twins Sean and Amelie—asleep in their vacation apartment.

Around ten o’clock that night, Kate went back to see how the kids were doing and found Madeleine gone from her bed.

The matter was first looked into by British police, but in July 2008 it was archived because of insufficient evidence.

Until Scotland Yard launched its own investigation in 2011, the family continued to pursue the matter through private investigators.

At the behest of Teresa May, the Home Secretary at the time, Operation Grange was launched, which initially comprised a review of all past investigations.

The Met’s inquiries became an investigation in July 2013, collaborating with the Portuguese authorities to follow particular areas of inquiry.

However, by 2015, just 29 police officers were involved in the case, as reported by The Express.

A Met spokesperson told the newspaper: ‘The number of staff on the investigation team always remains under review and is flexed according to new information coming in, or new lines of inquiry.’

Gerry and Kate McCann have not commented on the investigation because it is an ‘active police investigation’.

Christian Brueckner, 47, a convicted sex offender, is the main suspect under investigation by German police right now.

Sadly, no one is certain of what actually happened, and I don’t believe I’ve ever read an article that gave a clear explanation of what happened—it was always all ifs, buts, and maybes.

My sympathy goes out to Maddie’s parents, but what parents leave their 3-year-old child alone in another country, and then expect the child to still be there when they get back? It’s a foreign country, anything could happen, and in this case, it did. I guess that she was taken for human trafficking, never to be seen again. That’s not to say she’s still not alive though and that every effort should still be made to find her.

If they ever found any fresh information or convincing proof, it would be nothing short of miraculous.

The investigation should be ongoing because this is a very sad case, but there are also other children out there that have disappeared without trace and I hope that they get just as much attention as this one did. At least the police are doing something because this was a child, although she would not be a child now, and sadly, if she were reunited with her family, she probably would have very little recollection of them.

More often than we may think, disappearances like these occur not just in the UK but in other nations as well. Sadly, if the child is located many years later, the relationship they once shared with their parents would have vanished.

Apples And Pears: Rishi Sunak

Rishi Sunak will advise Britain to plant more apples and pears because he believes that the security of the nation might be jeopardised by an overreliance on food imports.

The Prime Minister will use a food summit in Downing Street to tell farmers they are ‘vital to the security and fabric of our country’.

But he will warn that a new ‘food security index’ has found the UK is too reliant on foreign imports, particularly fruit and vegetables.

The farming industry is at its most productive point ever, according to the research, which will provide an annual assessment of land usage and food output.

However, it will also show that just 17% of fruit and 55% of vegetables purchased in this nation are grown locally.

While there isn’t a direct threat to food supplies, ministers think that the conflict in Ukraine has made it clearer how dangerous it is to rely too much on foreign supply networks.

There will be a series of announcements, including awards totalling £10 million to assist orchard owners in raising their yield.

The total amount of money to promote increased horticulture output will be doubled, reaching £80 million.

An additional £15 million will be made available for the development of novel crop types with increased disease resistance.

Additionally, Mr Sunak will mandate a study of the process for reducing red tape when building polytunnels and glasshouses.

He said: ‘Come rain or shine, I will always back British farmers. From feeding the nation to protecting our countryside, they are vital to the security and the fabric of our country. This package of support will help farmers produce more British food, and deliver on our long-term plan to invest in our rural communities.’

The impact of the wettest start to the year in decades will also be discussed at the summit when ministers will announce £75 million in support for better drainage.

Sadly, good arable land is being turned into solar farms, when our farmers should be growing grains, fruit and vegetables and farming meat.

Local farmers, however, have been subject to compulsory purchase, making it impossible to farm and keep their cattle. We need to stop this madness, but it won’t stop because it’s intentional. After all, the government want to produce genetically modified foods for us all the eat, and eventually, everything that we eat will be genetically modified, and everything will be sold off, even the family silver, but of course, it’s the Conservative way.

Hey, what a terrific idea, let’s cultivate more apples and pears, even though crime is taking over the streets.

Following Brexit, farmers were among the first to lose their subsidies, and they were not given any new ones. Their seasonal labour was no longer available to them, bureaucracy has grown, and many people have lost their jobs.

Rishi Sunak knows he’s probably going to lose the next General Election, therefore, he will do everything in his power to make everyone’s life a misery.

Our country is going to the dogs and apples and pears are his pearls of wisdom. If anyone should grow a pair (pun intended), it should be him.

Mugged By Thugs Near London Euston Station, Two People, Including A Woman, Are Brutally Beaten 

This is the horrifying scene of two people—a lady among them—being forcefully mugged in broad daylight at London’s Euston station. The victims were left splayed out on the ground.

The crime occurred a short distance from the busy Camden High Street when two males attacked a man and a lady at approximately seven in the morning. The attackers then fled in a white Audi.

Another woman, who appeared to be a friend of the mugging victims, watched on as crime rocked the capital.

Now grim footage has emerged of the two thugs brazenly hitting and kicking the pair on Eversholt Street in north London before seemingly running off with some of their belongings.

Each man attacks one victim during the mugging as shocked bystanders watch on and cars drive along the busy street in the capital.

One thug, wearing a black hoodie, violently attacks the male victim, who is wearing a light green hoodie and jeans, pressing him down on the pavement.

The assailant takes hold of the victim and throws him onto the road, kicking him hard in the face while a car passes by the scene without incident.

He then rips something away from his victim’s grasp before running away with it in his hand.

As the lady tries to crawl into the road, the other attacker—wearing a purple hoodie—seems to drag her—dressed all in black—back onto the pavement by her hair.

He then presses her head against the side of the road before she manages to push herself up out of his grasp and start pursuing the other thug.

But as she is running, the man who had been holding her down then pushes her strongly to the floor.

The woman stumbles heavily but gets to her feet before the same man pushes her down again.

A motorbike and a bus pass by while she lies in a vehicle parking area on the side of the busy road.

After that, the assailants got into their white Audi 4×4 and left, just missing the male victim who had strayed into the centre of the road.

Indistinct shouting is heard throughout but towards the end, a man can be heard saying ‘let’s go’.

The incident took place just yards away from London Euston station, one of the busiest transport hubs in the country, and Mornington Crescent Underground station.

Germany Considers Conscripting All 18-Year-Olds Amid NATO War Fears

Fearing an all-out NATO conflict with Russia, Germany may reinstate conscription for all 18-year-olds, according to secret military plans.

Two of the three possible options being discussed by military planners call for all males to serve a mandatory military year when they turn eighteen.

According to The Sunday Telegraph, authorities are reportedly nearing the end of their talks with German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius, who is anticipated to reveal formal plans next month.

Mr Pistorius, during a trip to Washington last week, said he was ‘convinced’ that Germany ‘needs a form of military conscription’.

He also previously described the country’s decision to suspend compulsory military service in 2011 as a ‘mistake’. 

One concept under consideration by Berlin’s military strategists called for the conscription of all men and women upon reaching the age of 18.

Only men were subject to Germany’s prior mandatory military service legislation.

To include women would require changing the nation’s constitution, according to the newspaper, but ministry insiders reportedly believe the change would ‘most likely receive societal approval’.

Another proposal, which is viewed by the defence ministry as a ‘a strong signal’ to both allies and rivals, would only apply to 18-year-old men, but would not see everyone selected, the leaked reports revealed.

To be selected for duty, young men would first need to fill out an online form.

A third option under consideration avoids conscription and instead focuses on ‘optimising’ the current military system through more proactive recruitment campaigns.

Days have passed since Vladimir Putin proclaimed that his nuclear forces were ready to fight in case of a world war. Now, word has leaked out about the defence ministry’s possible preparations to enlist soldiers.

Putin spoke to high-ranking government officials, military personnel, and millions of Russian residents on Thursday from Moscow’s Red Square in an alarming speech.

He hailed the troops fighting in Ukraine for their courage and also blasted what Russia calls the ‘collective West’, accusing it of ‘fueling regional conflicts, inter-ethnic and inter-religious strife and trying to contain sovereign and independent centres of global development’.

Putin also delivered another sobering warning about Russia’s nuclear power amid tensions between the West and Russia that have reached their highest point since the Cold War.

Putin threatened to use force if his country’s security was threatened, but he also stated that the Kremlin would stop at nothing to prevent conflict on a worldwide scale.

Meanwhile, Germany’s chancellor Olaf Scholz said on Saturday that Ukrainians with a residence permit and work in Germany can stay even as Ukraine seeks to recruit nationals living abroad to serve in the war against Russia.

So, now this is where we enter the twilight zone. Germany will be asking its young to get ready for war. I thought they might jump on the bandwagon, but I’m not sure the youngsters of today will back that plan. They might have done it 79 years ago, but not now. But then saying that Vladimir Putin is no different than Hitler was, although we don’t have gas chambers anymore, we have nuclear power instead, much more efficient!

Migrants should be enlisted first in every country they settle in. It should be repayment for the life they’ve been given and they should not get any special treatment. That would be a gift to immigrants that they were not expecting.

Patriots of all countries will simply refuse to go to war. They will refuse to die in wars started by poor decisions and bad negotiations made by corrupt politicians.

If corrupt politicians want to go to war then perhaps they should be sending their families and children to the frontline. The average Joe just wants to live an ordinary, quiet life. It’s just the evil and corrupt leaders that want war, they’re what we call ‘warmongers’. Why should we have to participate in our government’s efforts to hurt people in other countries that we’ve never met?

A Mother Of Four Who Ploughed Into Oncoming Traffic Says It Wasn’t Her Fault 

A mum-of-four who ploughed her Toyota 4×4 into oncoming traffic has said the double smash was not her fault because the car’s computer system ‘took over’.

Diane Bryan, 58, from Barnsley in South Yorkshire, got the brand new Toyota RAV4 Excel just six months before she was involved in the December 2022 crash.

The Motability vehicle scheme allows people who receive mobility personal independence payments (PIP) to trade their payments in for an adapted vehicle.

She insisted that when she tried to turn left round a bend the wheel of the £41,000 vehicle refused to budge – and that the ‘white line’ technology didn’t kick in to pull her back when she crossed the central point.

The automobile veered to the opposite side of the road before hitting two incoming vehicles, the drivers of which escaped the incident unharmed, according to dashcam footage from the Southampton to Glastonbury trip.

Diane received six points and an £800 fine after it was determined that she drove without using the proper caution and attention in court. Additionally, Diane stated that her automobile was demolished before it was examined.

The Pre-Collision System on the Toyota RAV4 is one of the systems that helps prevent collisions by braking automatically if the driver doesn’t.

Other features include an emergency call system that will initiate immediately in the case of a collision and Lane Trace Assist, which uses steering assistance to maintain the car in the centre of the lane.

Diane said that she was notified of a recall in February of this year about the emergency call system’s Data Communication Module.

Errors listed included ’emergency calls… cannot be received by the vehicle’ and ‘the most recent location data will be cleared’.

Speaking after the case, Diane, said: ‘I’m a criminal for the first time in my life.

‘I have a criminal record for something outside of my control. I’m scared of driving and am nervous on the roads. I don’t drive on roads I don’t know.

‘The car was designed that at no point should it ever be able to cross a white line, but it went straight over.

‘If you get close to a line the steering wheel vibrates – if you ignore the vibration it re-centers itself in the road.

‘But there was no vibration in the steering wheel and it didn’t re-centre itself.

‘I went to court and three magistrates totally disbelieved what my husband and I said. I got charged with driving without due care and attention.

‘I was offered a Safe & Considerate Driving Course instead of points and a fine which I accepted, but they couldn’t provide an adapted vehicle.

‘Because I no longer had my vehicle I couldn’t do it – but had I been able-bodied, I could have done the course.

‘Instead, I was given six points on my license for the first time in over 30 years of driving.’

On December 17, 2022, Diane and her 56-year-old husband Stan Bryan were travelling from Southampton to Glastonbury when the collision occurred.

The mother said she was moving from a 60mph zone into a 40mph zone when the car went straight on at a bend despite her turning the wheel after it was pulled out of her hand ‘by the car’ and started spinning.

Still, this isn’t the first instance of an autonomous vehicle malfunctioning.

Now legislation in the UK is set to assign legal responsibility for crashes involving self-driving cars to manufacturers rather than individual car owners. King Charles announced the government’s plans to introduce an Automated Vehicles Bill.

This implies that drivers of self-driving vehicles would not be prosecuted, which is not the case in this instance.

We become upset when a human mistake causes an accident, yet we are content to let AI operate vehicles on public highways, even if it occasionally results in fatalities or serious injuries to people.

Cars should not be automated, they are dangerous and a liability to the general public, and should be taken off the roads, including Tesla cars.

An Israeli-British Hostage Has Been Killed By Hamas

Cruel Hamas terrorists last night announced a British-born hostage being held in Gaza had been killed – less than three hours after publishing a video which appeared to show him alive.

In a sickening stunt, Hamas released the first video showing British-Israeli Nadav Popplewell, 51, visibly bruised and injured in his right eye, talking to the camera to give his name and age.

Unsettling music played in the background as the 11-second footage came to a close with a question mark appearing on the screen.

The terrorist group then released a second video three hours later, claiming that Nadav, who was born in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, was injured in an IDF airstrike last month and later died from his wounds.

Independent confirmation of Nadav’s death and the manner of his murder has not been achieved.

But in the horrifying video cartoon blood slowly drips down the screen over Nadav’s face while a caption states: ‘military pressure, failure and death’.

Later, Al Qassam spokesperson Abu Obaida confirmed that Popplewell ‘died of wounds he sustained after Zionist fighter jets targeted his place of detention over a month ago’.

They say that 70-year-old Judy Feinstein was also murdered by the same attacks.

This is not the first time perverse Hamas fighters have teased the fate of the hostages in an attempt to torment their families.

In January Hamas released a propaganda video featuring Noa Argamani, 26, Yossi Sharabi, 51, and Itay Svirsky, 38, alongside the caption: ‘What do you think? All killed? Some killed, some injured? Still Alive. Tonight we will inform you of their fate.’

It eventually came to light that the other two guys had been killed, but Noa Argamani remained alive.

Hamas vowed to carry out captive executions in reaction to IDF bombings at the beginning of the war.

Israel does not comment on captive films because it views them all as psychological warfare and torture.

A spokesperson for The Hostages and Missing Families Forum – a group that represents the interests of the hostage families – said: ‘Every sign of life received from the hostages held by Hamas is another cry of distress to the Israeli government and its leaders.

‘We don’t have a moment to spare!

‘You must strive to implement a deal that will bring them all back today – the living to rehabilitation and the murdered to burial.’

The most recent video was released a few days after the Israeli Defence Forces began their military assault on Rafah, a city in southern Palestine that is presently home to almost a million Palestinians who were forced to evacuate their homes.

This is made abundantly evident by the fact that Europe is so deeply split and home to numerous hate organisations that it is becoming impossible to have a gathering intended to unite people from different countries in harmony. Despite their insistence to the contrary, hatred and intolerance have become the hallmarks of this generation.

And this is why governments around the world need to stop these protests because they’re just pandering to terrorists.

Hamas was never going to release the hostages because they’re not quite right in the head.

Hamas’s actions are completely inhumane, and eliminating them should not be met with any more remorse or consideration than eliminating a bug.

Those who back Hamas are despicable. Their hatred and evil have no boundaries, and it’s shocking how many people are condoning what these terrorists are doing.

If you are in favour of this psychological terrorism, you are not on the right side of history.

Passengers Who Put Backpacks On Free Seats Are Threatened  

Jobsworth train guards are making empty threats to slap customers with ‘penalty charges’ for leaving their bags on seats, it has emerged.

Passengers who place their bags on their seats during busy train hours have reportedly received warnings from rail personnel.

However, sources in the train business said there is very little chance that customers would face significant fines for obstructing chairs.

According to National Rail, there is no punishment procedure in place for travellers who are found to have left their bags on empty seats.

And although individual operators do have powers to give passengers an ‘additional luggage charge’ in practice, this is very rarely ever enacted.

Under the National Rail Conditions of Travel, rail companies are permitted to limit customers to three pieces of baggage.

Carrying luggage bigger than one metre in any dimension, having more than three items on board and placing bags on seats are all reasons why travel operators may charge more.

Rail companies counter that the threats are a ploy to dissuade passengers from misbehaving and that they do not routinely impose fines for this.

On crowded services, rail companies say that the threat of a penalty charge was a way to use ‘humour’ to stop selfish passengers from taking up room.

A GWR source told The Telegraph: ‘I’m not aware of us ever implementing these charges and it would be difficult to manage. Industry rules are in place to provide people with guidance, but we have to rely on customers being responsible and applying common sense.’

Guards on the Great Western Railway, which runs routes to South Wales and the west country, said: ‘There’s no such thing as a fine for bags on seats. Train managers do tend to find a bit of light humour is a pretty effective way of highlighting the issue and encouraging people to stow luggage more thoughtfully.’

The train operator said that staff are ’empowered’ to deal with issues on board, including asking for luggage to be moved.

Comments on social media were quick to defend GWR, highlighting that on busy services some passengers are too ‘polite’ to move luggage and sit down.

Laura Mittens, from Wiltshire, said: ‘Good on GWR for announcing that they’d charge anyone the price of an extra seat for putting luggage or coats/bags on seats whilst there are lots of people left standing on this five-carriage train to Penzance!’.

GWR cheekily replied on X that ‘Seats are for bums.’

I’m just wondering, are we paying to travel on the train or the seat itself?

Generally, on a packed train, you wouldn’t have the luxury of putting your bag on the seat next to you because it would be a packed train and the seat would already be taken by another person. If you travel after the rush hour then seats would be free, so you could put your bag on the seat next to you, and if someone did want the seat, hopefully that person would be kind enough to remove the bag so they could sit down, it’s called being courteous.

There was none of this disrespect when I was growing up. Children gave up their seats for adults, especially the elderly or people with children. Bags were never tolerated on seats, and if they were, then you never felt threatened when asking for their bag to be removed, and if there was any hint of somebody being rude, other passengers would soon put them in their place.

I would just say ‘Excuse me, do you mind?’, and if they did, then I would just take my seat and say ‘Thank you very much, you’re so kind’.

All of this being said, don’t the trains have to be running so that passengers can put their bags on the seats? Not much chance of trains running properly at the moment.

There’s a saying, ‘Seats are for ar*ses, tables are for glasses’, bags should go on laps or the floor, but sadly, these days, bags are not safe on the floor because anyone could grab the bag and be off with it, and people want their belongings to be safe, so people leave it on the seat next to them, which is fine, so long as they remove it when somebody needs the seat. 

AstraZeneca COVID Vaccination Wrongly Administered To A 28-Year-Old Healthy Man 

A healthy 28-year-old man who died after being wrongly given the AstraZeneca Covid vaccine was told to ‘count yourself lucky’ when he was given it.

Alex Reid, an operations controller from Leeds, ‘did not understand why’ he was invited to get the vaccination early in March 2021 as a man in his late 20s who was otherwise healthy.

But he was given the AstraZeneca (AZ) vaccine just weeks before the government warned that people under the age of 30 should be given an alternative jab because the AZ shot was linked with an increased risk of blood clots.

Sadly, he passed away after three months. He was unintentionally asked forward for the vaccination, according to a coroner’s inquiry, because his 2004 GP records, when he was just 11 years old, said that he had a BMI of 68.97.

Now, it has been revealed that Mr Reid was told to count himself lucky when he queried why he was being invited for an early vaccine.

His mother, Halina Reid, told the BBC: ‘Surely this one call from Alex should have raised alarm bells since most of the calls the surgery was getting were from people asking why they had not been called.

‘The person who took the call said she did not know, made no attempt to find out and just said, ‘count yourself lucky’.

She continued: ‘After Alex’s death, we knew something was not right – it has taken two years and five months to get answers.’

Coroner Oliver Longstaff has recommended adding ‘validation rules’ to GP record-keeping systems to stop ‘obviously erroneous’ information from being filed.

The mistake occurred when a clinician entered Mr Reid’s height as 145 cm (4 feet 9 inches) at the age of 11. Then, he entered his weight as 145 kg (319 lbs).

According to the coroner, had Mr Reid’s BMI been accurately documented, he would not have been recommended for early vaccination and would not have been approved for the vaccine before its risk implications for those under 30 years old were established.

He wrote: ‘When Alex was invited to receive his vaccination early, he did not understand why, and no one was able to tell him.

‘If the obviously erroneous BMI had not been recorded or had been challenged at the point of entry by the relevant IT system, Alex… would not have died when he did.’

The inquest heard that designing a system to flag such errors in BMI ‘would not have been feasible’ at the time of the pandemic. 

The coroner has, nonetheless, issued a challenge to healthcare IT firms, asking them to update their software going forward to include checks for glaring mistakes.

Since there is no other means to calculate extra fatalities, they must examine the excess deaths that have occurred since the introduction of the jabs.

Since the start, our government has been manipulating the numbers. Shifting the decimal point and losing the data, or all of the above, or forgetting how to add up.

Proving which vaccine was responsible for any injuries or deaths will prove impossible since they allowed the mixing of AstraZeneca, Pfizer and Moderna jabs and I’m not entirely certain that it might have been intentional.

England had the highest levels of excess deaths in Europe in the first half of 2020, the ONS said. What the ONS forgot to mention was that England had more time than Italy and even Spain, which were hit earlier and much stronger.

The UK was better positioned to contain the virus than continental Europe since it is an island. The true scandal is that despite this advantage and even though they had more time, excess fatalities were the greatest in Europe. That is the epitome of disastrous failure. However, I’m sure the English press will come up with a million inventive ways to downplay it.

Nothing that we ingest is safe, including the COVID vaccination and other drugs that are dished out to us, so if nothing is 100 percent safe, and they’re willing to cover it all up, just imagine what else they’re not telling us.

We must awaken. They paid exactly no attention to the science. It’s horrible that they counted their money, lied about everything, and injected this garbage into people—just as they do with lab rats and monkeys.

Probation Officers Will No Longer Supervise Freed Prisoners 

Under significant reforms snuck out by the government, released criminals will no longer be monitored by probation authorities until the completion of their terms.

After being released from prison, offenders had to be in constant communication with the probation department until the judge’s sentence expired, but now, in the majority of cases, supervision will end at the two-thirds point of the sentence.

The change, which has already come into effect, was not formally announced by the Ministry of Justice.

Its purpose is to lessen probation officials’ burden.

In the past two years, the probation watchdog has released several negative findings that have brought attention to the overworked and overburdened cases that officers are handling.

But there are fears that the relaxation of probationary measures—first reported by LBC—could have disastrous consequences.

One senior officer in the service told the radio station it was ‘dangerous’ and ‘people will die’ because ‘warning signs are missed’.

The most serious offenders will continue to be watched until the completion of their sentences and are not subject to adjustments.

Serious sexual and violent criminals, terrorists, and those under the strictest levels of supervision in the community—known as multi-agency public protection arrangements—will remain under full scrutiny.

Day-to-day monitoring for less serious offenders will terminate at the two-thirds mark; however, they will still need to meet with probation officers once in the last third.

Anthony Goodman, a former probation officer and professor of criminology at the University of Middlesex, told LBC: ‘This is trying to put a sticking plaster on something that needs major surgery.’

Asked whether it could result in people’s lives being endangered, he said, ‘Absolutely. The general public is more at risk.

‘This is something we should all be extremely concerned about because it affects all of us.’ It comes as the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) is releasing more criminals from jail early.

This month, an emergency plan that was implemented in October that permits prisoners serving terms of up to four years in jail to be released up to sixty days early will be extended to seventy days.

An MoJ spokesman said: ‘We recognise the pressures facing our hardworking probation staff, which is why we are making changes to ensure they can continue to deliver high-quality supervision in the community.

‘These measures, alongside our £155 million investment in the Probation Service each year, will reduce caseloads and mean staff can maximise supervision of the most serious offenders.’

I thus question if this choice has undergone any risk analysis. How many deaths are they expecting as a result of this change? And how much is the appropriate amount that they can manage?

They couldn’t possibly care less as long as it doesn’t impact the decision-makers, the wealthy and powerful.

More, not less, is required for the whole legal system, and it’s not just the judiciary system, it’s every institution and service that’s broken.

We have become soft on crime. Armed forces have been cut to the bone, along with public services and the police force, and now do crime and do little time, and this country has gone to the dogs.

Another significant step in the wrong direction and more ingenious thinking from the UK administration. This is pathetic, who dreams up these schemes?

The Tories have made a mess of our country, and now it’s a very dangerous place to live, and our towns and cities are unrecognisable.

The probation service puts itself at risk every day while performing a very dangerous job, therefore we really shouldn’t be criticising them. Instead of eliminating them from the picture, our government should be investing more funding in this area.

UK economy Is ‘Turning A Corner’, Says Rishi Sunak

Britain is out of recession after official figures showed the economy ‘going gangbusters’ in the first quarter of the year.

The GDP rebounded from its decline at the end of 2023 and increased by 0.6% in the first three months of 2024, quicker than anticipated.

A recession is defined as two consecutive quarters of contraction.

Importantly Brits were also getting better off over the latest period, with GDP per head up 0.4 per cent—after a dismal seven quarters without improvement.

The confirmation is a boost for Rishi Sunak and Chancellor Jeremy Hunt as they desperately try to prove to voters that their plan is working.

The PM insisted ‘the economy has turned a corner’. ‘We know things are still tough for many people, but the plan is working, and we must stick to it,’ he said. 

Mr Hunt said it was ‘proof that the economy is returning to full health for the first time since the pandemic’. 

It was better than the 0.4% that the majority of analysts had predicted, which might cause the Bank of England to pause as it contemplates lowering interest rates as soon as next month.

A ‘hotter’ economy could be seen as adding to inflationary pressures.

The GDP expanded by a strong 0.4% in March, according to estimates, with growth in February revised up from 0.1% to 0.1%. There was a 0.3% growth in January.

Crucially, following an alarming seven quarters without growth, real GDP per capita is anticipated to have risen by 0.4% in the first three months of this year.

It is still 0.7% less than it was in the same quarter last year, though.

The majority of the economic growth in the UK during that time has been attributed to immigration increasing the country’s population.

ONS chief economist Grant Fitzner said: ‘To paraphrase the former Australian Prime Minister Paul Keating, you could say the economy is going gangbusters.’ 

Mr Hunt said: ‘There is no doubt it has been a difficult few years, but today’s growth figures are proof that the economy is returning to full health for the first time since the pandemic.

‘We’re growing this year and have the best outlook among European G7 countries over the next six years, with wages growing faster than inflation, energy prices falling and tax cuts worth £900 to the average worker hitting bank accounts.’

Mr Hunt also gave a stern message to Tory MPs considering a move against Mr Sunak after dire local elections.

Meanwhile, people are being fleeced by utilities, insurance, banking and supermarkets which are all reporting bumper profits. Manufactured cost of living by big corporations for another bumper payday, and we should add rail companies to that list as well. Then they’re expecting people to eat Tripe, but just because it’s all dressed up, it really doesn’t taste like beef.

You folks out there, just because we are slightly out of a recession, according to Rishi Sunak, don’t think that the cost of living will go down, it won’t, it will just stay the same. It’s only when things start to lower that people might agree that things are getting better, but as things stand, they’re not!

Prices have never dropped and never will regardless of who’s running the country, it’s all a smoke screen. They promise you this, they promise you that, but it never happens, it’s all lies, and they will continue to blow smoke up your posterior!

Things will get progressively worse if Sir Keir Starmer (Mr U-turn) gets into No 10. It will get worse very quickly.

Whilst Rishi Sunak lacks charisma, at least he’s financially competent, while Sir Keir Starmer is not liked, not competent and not trustworthy, but then none of them are trustworthy, and we should not believe a word that they say.

And the fact that voters might let Sir Keir Starmer into power is very sad indeed, and those who believe that we would be better under Labour are the ones who will fare the worst when the UK runs out of money, but then I wouldn’t vote Conservative either.

We should do what Iceland did and protest the calling for the resignation of government officials and for new elections to be held.

What should happen is that people need to start a nationwide protest and the citizens of the UK should lobby, because England’s citizens should be involved in creating a new constitution.
