Dedicating your life to the care of others is admirable, but a Level 2 NVQ in Social Care is not really a suitable qualification to be a senior member of the Government.
Update on that terrible killing of an 8yr old girl in Ireland. I don’t know what they mean by ”served a sentence for an offence”. Bit vague. Aren’t reporters supposed to find out these sorts of details? Also, this report doesn’t state that he’s the father but I’ve read it elsewhere, so not sure why that is. So, just another man, who happens to be Muslim and should never have been in the country causes havoc and misery;
”The killer of tragic Malika Noor Al Katib cut her throat in front of her mother in a row that started because of social media use, it has emerged.
And, as gardai continue to quiz the suspect for the brutal murder of the eight year-old, sources have told the Irish Mirror that the man being questioned had only come back to Ireland days before the horror killing.
We have learned that the suspect, who is a foreign national in his 30s, was recently released from prison in the United Kingdom, where he had served a sentence for an offence.
Sources say he returned to New Ross shortly before the horror incident in which Malika and her mother Alisha Noor Al Katib were both stabbed in the family home on William Street in the town late on Sunday night.
“He only came back a matter of days before the stabbings,” a source told The Mirror.
“He had been serving a prison sentence in England. As soon as he got out, he came back to New Ross.”
We have also learned that Malika’s mum Alisha – who received several stab wounds in the incident – has told associates that the row that led to the attack started because of social media.”

A beautiful 16th century building in Telford, which was a hotel previously, now houses migrants. And the security still seem to be made up of migrants, coincidentally. British homeless sleeping on the streets. In what realm is this fair?
https://x.com/ActivePatriotUK/status/1864118530767040723
Speaking of the homeless, a man has been found dead in a tent outside an Asda is Leicester. Do you think he was a migrant?
”The government’s failure to address the stark disparity between the treatment of homeless British citizens and the accommodation provided to illegal immigrants is not just a policy failure, it’s a moral outrage
Every day, our streets are the last refuge for countless individuals who have nowhere else to turn, forced to sleep in shop doorways or makeshift tents outside supermarkets like Asda
Meanwhile, the government has seen fit to house thousands of illegal immigrants in luxurious hotels
This situation paints a grim picture of a country that has lost its sense of priority and compassion
While the government spends millions daily on hotels for those who have entered the country illegally, our own citizens, many of whom are veterans, elderly, or victims of economic downturns, are left to fend for themselves in the harshest of conditions.”

”Police have discovered the body of a man in a tent near a Leicester Asda.
Officers with Leicester Police have cordoned off the area outside an Asda in Abbey Lane, Leicester, following the grim discovery, with blue screens having been in place since earlier this afternoon. While officers have indicated the death seems non-suspicious, it remains unexplained.”

This is all extremely concerning obviously, you refer to the uk as “our steets” but you dont have to endure whats going on here in the UK because you actually live somewhere else dont you???
I tried to upvote your comment, but it turned a Minus 1 Green into a Green Zero, while seven other idiots voted you down for telling the truth about the commenter who lives in Holland, works in Belgium, but rarely if ever tells us about what is going on in those two countries, which would be very useful and interesting.

America is defenceless against Russia’s new Oreshnik hypersonic missile
Oops! Someone with a book to sell.
All ballistic missiles including the V2 go hypersonic!
‘I’d be extremely shocked if this missile system had more than 10% new parts,” Fabian Hoffmann, a defense expert and doctoral research fellow at the University of Oslo, told the Kyiv Independent.’
“I think basically they just took apart the RS-26 or just cannibalized it, and then put together this new missile with a couple of upgrades, and a new paint job.’
Yes, it uses MRVs (multiple reentry vehicles).
Britain developed that technology over sixty years ago……..
But well done anyway.
The V2 had and impact speed of Mach 2.4 and a maximum velocity of just under Mach 5 (3580 mph = Mach 4.7) so cannot be classed as hypersonic at any stage of its flight envelope.
‘The term ‘hypersonic speed’ is widely defined as any speed beyond Mach 5, meaning five times faster than the speed of sound……The ancestor of ballistic missiles, Germany’s A-4 (which later became commonly known as the V-2) was first launched in the 1940s. During ascent, it could reach a speed greater than Mach 5 (although only for a brief period) and could do so again momentarily on its way back down.’
Kolja Brockmann, Dr Markus Schiller Feb 2022
Wikipedia disagrees with them.
You omitted the sentence that immediately followed your quote. It was “But, no one would claim that the V-2 was a hypersonic missile.”
‘All ballistic missiles including the V2 go hypersonic!’
I think Rupert Lowe should be in charge of Reform UK, not Farage. He’s very direct in what he says and he stands for the very things which I think made the British public vote for Reform in the first place. I think Farage has fallen short and shown himself to be a disappointment in many ways. Lowe is also doing a great deal to uncover information that the government is keeping hidden which should be in the public domain. Here’s a 3min clip of him in an interview. And what he says about deporting foreign criminals, if that psychopath in the article I shared above had not been allowed to go free after he’d served his time, and rather been detained before being deported, that little girl would still be alive now;
https://x.com/Homeland_Party/status/1864336959520251905
I think this story was included here yesterday but it was in the stupid Telegraph. This here is what Rupert Lowe is on about and it is an absolute national shame;
”More than 10,000 criminal offenses were committed in Britain in a single year by foreign criminals who had avoided deportation, according to recently published data from the Ministry of Justice.
As reported by The Telegraph newspaper, a total of 10,012 further offenses from 3,235 foreign offenders were recorded in the year to March 2022 — crimes that could have been avoided if the perpetrators had been deported and not allowed to continue to roam British streets.
The figure marks a significant increase of 25 percent compared to the previous year, which saw 8,021 offenses committed by 2,462 released foreign criminals.
The data showed that around one in four foreign criminals released after serving time for their crimes but not deported went on to commit further offenses — the severity of which ranged from murder to knife possession and drug-related crimes.
The Ministry of Justice released the data from April 2018 to March 2022 after a parliamentary request from newly-elected Reform U.K. MP Rupert Lowe.
In a post on X, he revealed that nearly 40,000 reoffenses had occurred during that period by foreign nationals — many of whom were legally obligated to have been deported by the Home Office. Of those offenses, nearly 5,000 were violent or sexual crimes.
If our establishment had the courage to do what’s right, these crimes would never have happened. It’s a disgrace,” Lowe remarked.”

There is a problem of trust around Mr Farage.
Romania election : ‘Georgescu’s campaign has been using fake bot accounts to fabricate comments on social media, thus creating fake virality and catapulting the candidate’s content into users’ feeds….The National Intelligence Service (SRI) reports speak of an operation prepared in advance, in favor of Călin Georgescu and which has the “mode of operation of a state actor”. 04 Dec 2024
United Kingdom election: ‘Across the Reform UK supporting accounts, more than 3,122 follower accounts were traced to Nigeria. In 2020, Facebook – whose parent company is Meta – discovered a Russian-led network of bot farms, outsourced to workers in Ghana and Nigeria’ On Facebook: ‘monitoring five coordinated Facebook pages which have been spreading Kremlin talking points, with some posting in support of Nigel Farage’s populist Reform UK party’
And who is Mr Farage’s young friend, George Cottrell, who lives in Montenegro? In 2019, the UK’s Brexit cheerleader, Nigel Farage was spotted in Porto Montenegro. Cottrell is now accused of running an illegal cryptomat out of Tivat in Montenegro.
Oh!
National Crime Agency (NCA): ‘Russian clients….illegally bypass financial restrictions to invest money in the UK….. From late 2022 to summer 2023 the Smart network was used to fund Russian espionage operations. NCA-coordinated activity has so far led to 84 arrests, with many already serving prison sentences, as well as the seizure of over £20m in cash and cryptocurrency.
Operation Destabilise uncovered a complex scheme, whereby the networks collect funds in one country and make the equivalent value available in another, often by swapping cryptocurrency for cash.
This provides a mutually beneficial service, streamlining the movement of cash generated by crime groups in the West, while simultaneously laundering crypto for cyber criminals, and helping Russian oligarchs and elites to bypass sanctions.’

China now a nuclear threat to the West, warns Armed Forces head
‘Adml Sir Tony’s speech came after Alistair Carns, the minister for veterans, warned that the British Army would be destroyed in “six months to a year” if it had to fight Russia. ‘In a war of scale, not a limited intervention but one similar to Ukraine, our army, for example on the current casualty rates, would be expended, as part of a broader multi-national coalition, in six months to a year.’
Errr….the British Army is only capable of deploying one reinforced Brigade, roughly ten thousand men, for any extended period.
The correct maths would be that ten thousand men, on today’s battlefield, would last about a week…..
So, according to your calculations, how many men are being killed every week in the Russia-Ukraine war?
What cause is worth that many lives? Do you not think a ceasefire and negotiations and a bit of compromise would be better than the loss of so many lives?
I mean a ceasefire now, not at some unspecified date sometime in the distant future after thousands of more lives are lost.
Do you support a ceasefire now, Monro?
The Russian Army loses 1500 men every day.
I support a nuclear deterrent.
I support a credible conventional deterrent (a British Army of, minimum, three formed armoured divisions, 180,000 men)
I support, as a priority, not starting a war in the first place.
I support not invading your neighbours.
Why? To keep the peace!
So, of course, I support a ceasefire now!
But I am not a Ukrainian citizen who has lost everything and is being bombarded night and day for no reason.
I recommend that you ask Ukrainian citizens what they support.
Recent polls suggest the following:
‘88% of Ukrainians said they will win the war.
71% of adults agree that the government should recapture all lost territory.
64% of Ukrainians are willing to take on a higher burden of the war by increasing the military tax from 1.5% to 5%.’
https://www.iri.org/what-we-do/programs/cisr/
A sado with loads of ridiculous so called “statistics”
“‘88% of Ukrainians said they will win the war.”… Really?? At what cost exactly….
100% of Ukrainians are only allowed to hear, view or read Ukrainian media. All of Ukraine’s independent media outlets have been shut down by their “democratic” state, the mandate of which expired in the Spring of 2024.
“The Russian Army loses 1500 men every day.”
Do Russian lives not matter?
How many Ukrainian lives are lost every day?
Why not ask President Putin whether Russian lives matter?
It is a matter for Ukrainians whether they choose to defend their homes, families and country.
Perhaps you would choose not to defend yours.
During the speech by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov at an OSCE meeting, Czech Foreign Minister Daniel Drake demonstratively read a book with a very telling title, “The Trial of Vladimir Putin.”
“While the Russian Foreign Minister was delivering his speech at the OSCE, my boss – Minister Jan Lipavský, left the hall, so I used the free time to finish reading some required literature.” – said Drake.
No he dorsnt, what would he do with his life if there wasnt this awful conflict to bang on and on about…
Hes a sado…
“In 2025, more than 30,000 DeepStrike strike UAVs will be delivered for our defenders. Some of these drones were financed by our international partners by investing in the Ukrainian defense industry. These new generation drones are capable of operating autonomously at long distances and hitting enemy targets with high accuracy.” – Umerov said.
DeepStrike refers to a set of Ukrainian long-range drones (Lyuty, Morok, etc.).’

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/12/02/hate-crime-police-bureaucratic-nightmare/
And therein lies the answer. So-called ‘hate crimes’ are a bureaucratic nightmare because they were intended to be so. They allow real policing matters such as burglary, knifings, feral youths running riot etc to be ignored and the result is a police force in turmoil and failing to do what it is being paid for. Difficult not to conclude this all intentioal and planned for.
“Dutch Government backs ‘toughest ever measures’ on immigration”
The Dutch People voted for Geert Wilders to
“MAKE THE NETHERLANDS DUTCH AGAIN”.
All the other parties, including one led by a Muslim Turk in Stilettos, blocked him from becoming Prime Minister, and watered down all of his most effective proposals. It will be surprising indeed if this latest attempt to Save the Dutch People from Extinction is really implemented.
