Quite bizarre how people can post whatever they want on here and totally disassociate themselves from others who take action, with exactly the same views.
On another but possibly related topic,
I've noticed a disturbing consistency in the comments made by people on here, on FB, on X and other sources.
I listened to a chap on LBC this morning who was at the anti something or other demos against brown people and his words sounded much like, in fact phrase for phrase like, the stuff we see links to on here, often by that reliable source of global news known as Tommy Robinson, but also other places.
It's almost as if they are being fed this stuff to promote insurgency.

Why aren't the Labour party, or the Torries before trying to ban Knives on our streets? Why go after people that smoke instead? |

It also makes things seem more endemic. Linked to Ice's AI concerns, it's likely to get worse unless we are vigilant and check sources. |

I'm more concerned that we have created something that will grow more intelligent then the human race within decades,and that has no glass ceiling to it's learning capacity. Now that's scary. |

Hexham stabbings: Boy, 16, charged with murdering teenage girl..ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/820/cpsprodpb/43A3/production/_128451371_hollynewton.jpgA 16-year-old has been charged with the murder of a teenage girl who was stabbed to death in Northumberland. Holly Newton, 15, was fatally wounded in the Priestpopple area of Hexham at about 17:10 GMT on Friday and later died in hospital. A 16-year-old boy, who was also taken to hospital, suffered non-life-threatening injuries. The teenager charged with murder has also been charged with attempted murder and possessing an offensive weapon. The boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, is scheduled to appear before magistrates in Newcastle on Monday. Northumbria Police Ch Supt Sam Rennison said Holly, of Haltwhistle, "still had so much left to look forward to in life, and this tragic incident has left her family devastated beyond words". She added: "Their grief simply cannot be put into words, and our thoughts are with both families involved and their loved ones as we continue to support them in every way we can. "The investigation is ongoing, and I'd like to show my appreciation to the people of Hexham - and beyond - who have greatly assisted with our enquiries and shown their support. "While our enquiries continue, we do believe all those involved are known to each other and there is no wider risk to the public." Holly was a pupil at Hexham's Queen Elizabeth High School. A statement from the school said: "We are in shock after the terrible events of Friday evening and devastated at the loss of Holly, a truly lovely student who was quiet, conscientious, helpful and kind. "Our thoughts are with Holly's family at this time of unbearable pain. We will come together as a school community on Monday to support each other as we grieve." A candle-lighting service has been held at Hexham Abbey and the town's mayor, Derek Kennedy, was among those who attended. He said: "The whole town is still coming to terms with this, it's been a massive shock. "A young girl who's just starting life and attending the local high school, starting her education and getting out there, it's just terrible. "It's going to have a big impact on all the schoolchildren when they go back on Monday because one of their own won't be coming back ever again." A teenager has been found guilty of stabbing a 15-year-old girl to death in the street after he stalked her around a town centre. Holly Newton suffered 36 horrific injuries in the attack in an alley in Hexham, Northumberland, in January 2023, Newcastle Crown Court has heard. Her mother had been so concerned that day that she contacted police about the then 16-year-old boy, who was known to her daughter, and it was agreed that Holly should not leave school if the youth was outside, jurors were told. The defendant, now 17, admits manslaughter but denies murder, claiming his mind went blank that day and that he had only intended to take his own life. The prosecution claimed the defendant, who cannot be identified due to his age, followed Holly around the town centre for about 45 minutes as she visited shops with friends after the group had finished school for the day. Holly had told a friend just hours before he stabbed her that the youth was “basically stalking her”, jurors heard. The boy asked to speak to her after he saw her outside a pizza shop, then attacked her with a knife he was carrying. The defendant also stabbed a teenage boy Holly was with that day, before members of the public tried to intervene, the court was told. Giving evidence by video link, the boy told jurors he could not remember stabbing the girl but recalled getting a bus to Hexham and some parts of walking around the town. Nigel Edwards KC, defending, asked him: “The night that Holly died, when you go to Hexham, what is it you want to do?” The defendant replied: “It wasn’t for going there to hurt her or kill her, it wasn’t for that.” Asked what he had wanted to happen that day, he added: “To try and take my own life.” As well as denying murder, the youth further denies causing wounding with intent on Holly’s friend, and an alternative charge of wounding. Before sending the jury out to start deliberations, Mr Justice Hilliard told them: “Nobody knows how long you will need to reach your verdicts. “There is no pressure of time whatsoever.” |

Boy, 13, stabbed to death in Birmingham as police slam 'absolutely tragic' murder...Report by Liam Buckler, Senior US News Reporter
A residential street in Oldbury, Birmingham was sealed off overnight following a serious incident after a boy was stabbed to deathi2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article33566005.ece/ALTERNATES/s1200d/1_Screenshot-2024-08-30-at-084806.jpgA 13-year-old boy has been stabbed to death in Birmingham as police launch a murder probe following the "absolutely tragic" incident. A residential street in Oldbury was sealed off overnight following a serious incident as emergency services and police rushed to Lovett Avenue in Lion Farm estate at around 4pm on Thursday, August 29th. The teenager was treated by paramedics at the scene but was pronounced dead a short time later. The estate was sealed off by detectives investigating the boy's death. Detective Superintendent Shaun Edwards of West Midlands Police said: "It's absolutely tragic a young life has been lost. We have specialist officers who will be supporting the family of the boy. We have detectives working flat out to find whoever is responsible and bring them into custody as soon as possible." A West Midlands Police spokesperson added: "We have launched a murder investigation after a teenager was fatally stabbed at an address in Oldbury. We were called to a property on Lovett Avenue at around 4pm yesterday by the ambulance service." A local told BirminghamLive that emergency services had rushed to the scene. She said she saw "many police cars" as well as paramedics and a police helicopter. Concerned residents posted on social media that police had been knocking on doors appealing for information. One wrote: "Police have been knocking on doors asking if anyone heard anything over the past two hours. They said [it was] a serious incident but couldn't give details." Another wrote: "I just went past on bus and it’s cordoned off - a house taped off too. Lots of people on the street and about five police cars."

A 15 year old girl and a 13 year old boy...'very rare incidents' ? Realistically, shouldn't this knife wave be classed as a national emergency? There are between 5-10 stabbings daily, rarely covered by the national media. It's shocking don't you think? |

x.com/jordanbpeterson/status/1829646000123765015?t=6DOW5ob6cMdOOxr96vtWHQ&s=19I'm just putting this out there,I doubt anyone that dislikes him will be bothered to watch. But here is Tommy Robinsons 2nd interview with Jordan Peterson. A Very good watch,he covers his court case in November, and the recent riots. I know some of us on here disagree, but I really can't understand how if you watch this, how you can argue with anything he says.

I'm not going over the debate on Tommy on here again with anyone, as it's been done to death,I only put the link here as a reference point. But if you did choose to watch this interview,then he actually debunks your last sentence and proves it's not true very well.đź‘Ť |

How does Tommy make his money? What's that got to do with anything. Again, I'm not going over the whole Tommy Robinson debate again, I just provided a link of his most recent interview. It's a question I've asked at least three times and no one has given me an answer. Is he wealthy in his own right, funded by someone or through donations, or through social media? |
