All the yobs know is a Sudanese migrant tried to behead a local man with a knife causing serious injury and another man who tried to stop it by hitting the attackeer with a hockey stick was arrested for doing it.
Weeks ago the news was a young Sikh man carrying a ceremonial knife stabbed a young man who pleaded with police as they handcuffed him, that he'd been stabbed and he died on the spot, the Sikh man was later arrested.
Two years ago in Southport a young man walked into a dance studio targetting twenty six little girls, stabbing eight, three died of their injuries.
That's all these yobs know and it's enough for them.

New prime minister possibly incoming, depending on how quickly he can Starscream his way into power.

Speaking of... Count Binface apparently took a Sky News reporter back to journalism school.

Is it not worth giving him a chance at this point?
I miss the Monster Raving Looney Party...

Oh they ABSOLUTELY will. Because those kinds of people will not acknowledge error or admit mistake.
Exactly, Wonko.
First thing this government did back in 2024 was cut winter fuel allowances for pensioners and enact a whole load of spending cuts. None of which was mentioned in the manifesto. They can’t even admit that from day 1 they immediately lost a lot of popularity and goodwill. Having a new PM with a Mancunian accent who’s a bit more charismatic isn’t going to change things for the better.
