    Ah wee quick aside, Quite a few years ago when ah knew ah was needing glasses ( but kept putting it off ) ah was waiting for ma wife outside Morrisons, she was doin some shopping when all of a sudden ah needed the toilet, quickly, so ah bolts into the shop and ask an assistant where the loos are, she points them oot for me so off ah go, ah see a man coming oot ( or what ah thought was a man ) the loo, straight in to the traps (relief ).
    So am sittin doon minding ma own buisness when ah thought ah heard a pair heels walking by the door, next minute ah could here these women gabbin away, am thinking **** I've went in to the womens loo.
    So am sitting thinking, what do ah do, it just seemed to get buisier with the door getting tried a few times.
    About an hour later am still sitting there the wife phones me asking where ah am, whispering to her that am in the womens toilet she's like " why are you whispering " and " what are you talking about " so ah switch the phone off.
    Hawf an hour later ah decide am just goin to bolt oot the cubicle as fast as ah can, lucklily no one else was there.
    Ah spent the next hour trying to explain to the wife what happened with a very red face.

    We've all done it.

    And I would like to point out that I most definitely did not do that at the 235 Casino at an SPT ;)
    Once you can get away with, they tend to catch on after the fourth time, apparently.

    Think there is more to this one.

    That MP has been stalked for some time (at least 2 years) by a man who has been subject to criminal sanctions since 2023.

    It rather sounds likely that that was the man who was either being assaulted or taking the pictures

    Mitigating circumstances rather than a defence? It looks like pretty clear assault unless the videos has been clipped to remove things that happened previously.

    Too early to say. That video appears to show just 1 side of a story. As I have said many times in my professional career, it is not a criminal offence to win a fight.

    It looks bad. There may be mitigating circumstances. There may be a complete Defence. And (of course) there may not. Which is why (for example) he has been suspended by his Party. Not thrown out. As any Party-or any employer-should do.

    It's why we have a legal system. Police. The CPS. The Criminal Courts. As opposed to Trial by Daily Mail

    The last statistics I saw said that 85% of paedophiles in the UK were White. Which, presumably means rather less than 15% are from the Asian sub-continent.

    Me? I'm an equal opportunities sort of guy. I hate all paedophiles equally. I don't care if they are White, Brown, or Purple with Green spots.

    Why do you think the Daily Mail only reports the Asian ones?

    Not so much a 'Lawless Britain' but pretty much sums up todays attitudes and actions by both people.

    What a pathetic sentence no wonder crimes like these continue to happen.





    A North London pickpocket who stole ÂŁ6,000 from a pensioner in Uxbridge has been jailed.

    Tinka Dinkova, 22, of Empire Avenue in Edmonton, was one of two females who followed an elderly victim, Emelia Okpoti, around Uxbridge Town centre on June 10 2024.

    Having seen her withdraw a large sum of cash from a bank on June 10 2024, Dinkova managed to pinch the money from the victim's bag without her realising.

    At Uxbridge Magistrates Court, Dinkova was jailed for nine weeks and must pay ÂŁ154 in costs.

    A Met Police spokesperson said: "This was a targeted theft by a pair who were in town purely to steal.

    "They followed the victim around multiple stores for nearly 30 minutes prior to actually taking the money.

    Dad Stabbed to Death by Killer Who Had Been Set Free Early From Prison That Day.



    A man who had just walked free from prison under the government’s emergency early release scheme stabbed a father to death the same day, in a brutal gang attack that has sparked outrage.

    Lewis Bell Fatally Stabbed Hours After Killer’s Release.

    Lewis Bell, 26, was chased through the streets of Stockton in the early hours of September 19, 2024, before being stabbed in the back and left to die. One of the men who helped carry out the deadly attack, Liam Matthews, had been released from HMP Holme House just hours earlier under new measures designed to ease pressure on Britain’s overcrowded prisons.

    Matthews, 26, joined two others in ambushing Bell during a violent altercation believed to have started in a local drug den. Bell, a father of one, was already being attacked by two men when Matthews joined in, slashing at him with a chisel.

    Convictions Handed Down in Teesside Court

    Sean McLeod, 23, was convicted of murder. Liam Matthews and Ashton White, 18, were both convicted of manslaughter. A fourth man, 26-year-old Macauley Wright, was found guilty of assisting an offender after helping the attackers dispose of weapons and clothing and arranging a taxi to flee the scene.

    Brutal Attack Caught on CCTV

    Cleveland Police said the group fled after the fatal stabbing, tossing away evidence before fleeing Stockton. Matthews had previously been convicted of violent disorder over a street fight in 2023 and had been serving a 22-month sentence until his early release on the same day as the killing.

    Victim’s Family Devastated

    Bell’s family described him as a “much-loved father, son, brother and uncle,” saying: “Lewis was killed in the most brutal and heartless way. We hold all three males convicted responsible for his murder despite the convictions of two of them for manslaughter.”

    Criticism Mounts Over Early Release Policy

    The case has drawn sharp criticism of the government’s emergency prison release scheme, introduced in 2024 to cope with a critical lack of prison space. A Ministry of Justice spokesperson defended the scheme, saying: “We had no choice but to introduce an emergency early release programme… this case will be investigated fully.”

    Detective Chief Inspector David Glass said: “Lewis Bell did not deserve to die. This was a pre-planned, sustained attack by a gang who chased him down with weapons. They inflicted a number of stab wounds, one of which was fatal – then left him to die.”

    All four are due to be sentenced on June 19.

    Moment Hooded Men Attack Man With Axe And Machete In Park.



    A man was attacked in broad daylight by a masked gang wielding an axe and machetes in a terrifying ambush in Poplar, east London.

    Hooded Trio Trap Victim in Tower Hamlets Park

    The brutal assault unfolded just before 6pm on Wednesday, March 26, in Pennyfields Park. Horrifying footage shows three men dressed in dark tracksuits and balaclavas surrounding a lone male in the park. Armed with weapons including an axe, the gang forces the victim to the ground and begins lashing out violently.

    The attackers appear coordinated and fearless, carrying out the assault in the open as stunned passersby watch on. In one frame, a hooded thug can be seen casually walking away from the scene with a large axe still in hand.

    Victim Manages to Call for Help Despite Injuries

    After the group flees the scene, the injured man, visibly bloodied and shaken, manages to pull out his mobile phone and call for help. Witnesses rush to his side as he lies wounded on the park path.

    Police and paramedics arrived shortly after and treated the victim at the scene before rushing him to hospital. Thankfully, his injuries have been described as non-life threatening.

    Police Urgently Appealing for Witnesses

    A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police said: “On Wednesday, 26 March at 17:45hrs, police were called to Pennyfields Park, Poplar following reports of a stabbing. A boy was found with stab wounds and taken to a nearby hospital. His injuries are not life-changing or life-threatening.”

    No arrests have been made at this stage, and detectives are carrying out urgent enquiries to identify those responsible.

    Shocking Rise in Knife Violence Across the Capital

    The violent incident is the latest in a disturbing wave of blade-related attacks in London. In January, a 14-year-old boy was stabbed to death in front of passengers on a bus in Woolwich, while recent footage from Carshalton showed another daylight stabbing unfold in the street.

    With yet another attack caught on camera, concern is growing over the brazenness of armed thugs operating across the city in public spaces.
