Very amusing that you state the author is trying to push a certain angle whilst simultaneously inferring things that aren't stated in the article in order to try to paint the officer as a bigot. As for why the story is being reported now, the officer has just won a legal settlement as part of...

I.mean, the story is widely reported elsewhere including on the BBC so its obviously a real situation, and it doesn't surprise me at all to hear that an appendage of the British state would be overly deferential to Islam out of a neurotic fear of 'causing offence'. The Muslim officer in the...

This is true, having lived in London for a few years it is almost better described as a cluster of many towns squeezed next to each other, with the different boroughs all having their own distinct character and identity.

London still feels a lot better to me than Lisbon, which I visited around 18 months ago, even in the touristy areas with families roaming around I was frequently accosted by unsavoury characters trying to sell me cigarettes and drugs, perhaps I look shifty as well and they thought I was a...

With regards to problems in the UK, not directly relating to this story but you have expressed curiosity about the state of things, all I can say from my own experience is that I have been to cities in Lithuania, Poland and the Czech Republic in the last 12 months or so and all of them felt...

The account is a news aggregator, it typically provides a link to the source of the news story in a reply to each tweet. The google AI screenshot posted above did not provide this information, but it is quite obvious if you visit the account in question. In this case the story was reported in...

It is important now that the content of this training is revealed, we already know that guidance released by the National Police Chiefs' Council explicitly advises police to treat people differently based on their race in order to pursue equity rather than equality. On an anecdotal basis I have...

Yes, its a crazy exemption from the law that cannot be justified, but the British state at almost every level in the post-Blair era in particular has some kind of strange reluctancy about tackling such practices for fear of stoking racial tension. The same can be seen with regards to cousin...

Messed up badly is an understatement, they dragged, handcuffed and denigrated a dying stab victim, treating him as a criminal and leaving him devoid of dignity in his final moments. All involved should lose their jobs and be stripped of their pensions for good measure.

Between stories like this and the rape gang scandal, a large number of the electorate will vote for whoever will deal with such matters permanently. The legacy parties have only themselves to blame for ceding such ground to those they decry as 'extremists'.

The ironic thing is that back in the day when graphics were improving noticeably year on year, impressive graphics could be a selling point for a game all by themselves, but now every game is practically photorealistic so graphics are no longer a big draw.

Totally agreed, something has gone very rotten particularly in the 'AAA-game' space, where the amount of time and money necessary to get a game to market is now so high that there are no real risks taken in game design, so everything is more formulaic, and there is an expectation that there will...

People who trawl through the social media accounts of Maiden members' partners are quite weird in my opinion. Maiden are known for not seeking the spotlight or to be public figures, I don't care about their politics, their religion or any of their other persuasions insofar as they are separate...

Awesome, the great wrong of the Maiden England tour setlist has been righted at last!

All it really means is that Labour have over 400 sitting MPs but none of them are competent or charismatic enough to surpass even the mediocre drudgery of Starmer.

After an appalling rout in the local and regiomal elections, outflanked on both left and right, the Labour internal opposition seem to be putting all their chips on 'the King of the North' Andy Burnham as their saviour. He is standing for election in the Makerfield constituency after the...

Any performance of Aces High nowadays will never top it opening up the 2018/19 legs of Legacy of the Beast, with the spitfire prop on stage, both in terms of spectacle and performance quality. There are a lot of hits that could go in that slot that would still get a great crowd reaction and be...

50 or so tickets sold by the looks of things for tonight's showing at my local Odeon, with some other showings scheduled for Sunday and Tuesday having shifted a few tickets as well, there must be more fellow fans around the place than I expected! Not expecting anything too revelatory in the...

My view is that the band will either reconvene in 2027 to record an album and do a 'regular' tour in 2028, or if that is not the case then we are essentially seeing a soft winding down of the band, no new music, and a far smaller slate of tour dates based around stadiums and large outdoor venues...

I would take Aces High 2025 over this any day! Imagine thinking you'd seen the last of Bruce with Maiden on this tour and then seeing the band a few years later on the reunion tour, I would think it was a miracle.
