Quote:Proof UK cares more about asylum seekers than its own citizens?
Shock figures show councils are housing up to 10 times more asylum seekers than
homeless people

'Seventeen councils are accommodating up to 10 times more asylum seekers than homeless people,
analysis suggests. The biggest disparity was seemingly in Pendle, a borough inside Reform's newly
-gained Lancashire authority.

Latest Government data shows 453 asylum seekers are being housed in Pendle. In contrast, only nine
homeless households are in temporary accommodation. Critics of Britain's immigration policy have
seized upon the figures as proof we are ran by people who 'care more about illegal migrants than its
own citizens'...'

Quote:Men delivering TV unit sexually assaulted, girl, 14


Sadnam Singh and Navjot Singh.

'Two delivery men who sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl who was home alone leaving
her "crying hysterically" have been jailed. It happened in Preston, Lancashire, when Sadnam
Singh, 28, and Navjot Singh, 26, were delivering a television unit which the girl's mother had
bought from an online auction site.

Sadnam Singh pinned her against the wall and assaulted her while Navjot Singh watched and
laughed before he also attacked her, Lancashire Police said. The men, from Wolverhampton,
were found guilty of sexual assault following a trial at Preston Crown Court and each was
sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison.

The teenager had answered the door while her mother was at work before the men entered and
launched their attack.

'Horrible assault'
After they left, the girl locked the front door and "immediately phoned her mother, crying hysterically
as she told her what had happened". An investigation was launched and both men were arrested the
same morning in Preston. Det Con Ben Clegg said the victim was "assaulted in a place where she
should have felt safe - her own home". He added: "This was a horrible assault on a teenager and I
welcome the sentence imposed by the judge."...'

I'm all for throwing murderers in jail, but stuff like this makes me wonder.

Quote:On 12 June 2025, dozens of anonymous X (formerly Twitter) accounts advocating Scottish independence abruptly went silent. Many had posted hundreds of times per week, often using pro-independence slogans, anti-UK messaging, and identity cues like “NHS nurse” or “Glaswegian socialist.”
Their sudden disappearance coincided with a major Israeli airstrike campaign against Iranian military and cyber infrastructure. Within days, Iran had suffered severe power outages, fuel shortages, and an internet blackout affecting 95 percent of national connectivity.
What appeared at first glance to be a curious coincidence has since emerged as the most visible rupture to date in a long-running foreign influence operation. This was spotted first by the following account.

Quote:What emerges is a picture of a state actor, Tehran, deliberately using the Scottish independence issue to weaken its adversary by amplifying internal division.

“The timing, posting patterns, and network structure all point in one direction,” said Charles, a veteran open-source intelligence researcher who publishes under a pseudonym due to contractual restrictions.

“What we’re seeing is classic IRGC-linked activity: coordinated accounts posting at regular intervals, linguistic and thematic uniformity across profiles, and sudden synchronous silence. The kicker is infrastructure dependency. These accounts didn’t log off, they were cut off almost certainly because their command-and-control layer, likely hosted through Iranian VPN exit nodes or proxy managed access platforms, went down after the strikes. This kind of abrupt network wide halt is a textbook signature of an externalised influence operation losing its operational backend.”

Iranian objectives

Iran’s strategy is asymmetric. Lacking the economic leverage or conventional military reach of its Western adversaries, it has turned to covert online influence as a low-cost, high-impact tool for shaping perceptions and political fault lines abroad. Within this broader playbook, the UK has long been a target. Tehran sees Britain as a historic antagonist associated with colonial exploitation and perceived meddling in Middle Eastern affairs. Weakening the UK’s internal cohesion fits into Iran’s strategic objectives, and Scottish independence provides a compelling wedge issue.

They suddenly stopped trying to create accounts at about the same time the 12 Day War started. Just POOF! and they all disappeared.

Now if we could just convince the IDF to hit all of those other spammers, the world would be a better place to live!

Also, is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that we've had none of those site offline problems since Israel gave Iran something else to worry about?

Things that make you go hmmmm.....

In other "modified behavior", Russian threats of using nukes have practically disappeared since The Donald became president.  And when off-his-Medsvedev brought up the topic, Trump made a point of commenting upon it on Truth Social, which in turn brought about a hasty "explanation" by Medvedev.

Quote:7/7: Homegrown Terror

On 7 July 2005, terrorist attacks struck London. Twenty years on, this Sky Original series reveals not just
what happened on 7/7, but how and why.

7/7: Homegrown Terror tells the definitive story of London’s most infamous terrorist attack, in which fifty-two
people were killed and 700 were injured. Told with unprecedented access to a range of perspectives, the series
weaves together first-person testimony, unseen archive footage, and extraordinary investigative detail.

Hear from key witnesses, survivors and their families, investigators, and voices connected to the perpetrators
– including the father of one of the attackers, the close friend of another, and a fellow Brit who attended a
training camp with the perpetrators.

Across three episodes, in advance of the 20th anniversary, the series unpacks the events of the 7 of July 2005
and the failed second attack two weeks later, exploring the manhunt that followed and the police shooting of
Jean Charles de Menezes. Uncovering new insights into the bombers’ lives and radicalisation, including their
personal histories and motivations, trips to training camps in Pakistan and their family life, 7/7: Homegrown
Terror pieces together a nuanced account of the personal, political and social forces behind a defining moment
in the nation’s history — and the scars it left behind.

The series will receive its world premiere at Sheffield DocFest later this month.
All episodes of 7/7: Homegrown Terror are available from 29 June on Sky Documentaries and NOW.
