News of the day

[Spikey M]

I have been on a bit of a deep dive and the entire thing was a veritable circus of cuntery. There were elements of corruption, with certain police officers being in the gangs pockets.

There was also a (at the time) Labour Councillor facilitating the release of girls who's parents went to the police. The gang would then drop the girl(s) off at a local petrol station with the agreement that there would be no further action.

But there is absolutely no getting around the fact that they were largely paralysed by race. The Labour MP of Rochdale at the time said as much:

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2025/01/02/simon-danczuk-tony-lloyd-ex-labour-chairman-grooming-gangs/

And the original whistle-blower, Jayne Senior, who worked for Rochdale Child Protection had her reports amended by managers to remove any mention of race or religion and where they couldn't do so, they disappeared or were simply ignored.

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/apr/18/rotherham-council-apologise-abuse-grooming-jayne-senior-whistleblower

[Yevrah]

I never thought I'd say this given how they're usually a foregone conclusion/a complete waste of time, but given how murky this all is there has to be a public inquiry.

[Spikey M]

In fairness. That all came out of the Rochdale enquiry. There's similar out there about Rotherham. We don't know any of this about Oldham, which is presumably why they want one.

[Spikey M]

It's also absolutely INSANE that not one person involved- outside of the gang leaders - has been convicted of anything. Not the people using the girls as prostitutes, not the family members that kept it quiet and intimidated people into silence, nobody from the council or the police. In fact, the only person that lost their job and faced any kind of investigation was the whistleblower.

Honestly mental.

[Yevrah]

Agreed, it's a disgrace. Specifically on whistleblowing, it seems to be an absolute disaster in the UK in general. I count myself lucky that nothing has ever crossed my path that would necessitate having to do it myself.

[Lewis]

I think a public inquiry is pointless because we know what happened and why. What we need is a big list of everybody involved, from direct perpetrators to enablers in authority, and for every one of them to either be deported, thrown back in prison until they die, or have their police and local authority pensions reset to zero. Elon Musk would be better off funding a load of high profile private prosecutions than talking crap online.

[Spikey M]

All this rape gangs stuff kicking off again and the BBC have decided to put a program about the 7/7 bombings on tonight. I know that will have been scheduled months ago, but I'm very surprised they haven't pulled that.

77 were arrested in London today at a pro Palestine demo. Not a peep about it on BBC news, if I go into the London section of local news then it's the 3rd story down.

Can you imagine if 77 were arrested at a Reform or similar rally? It's like omerta out there when it comes to the muzzos.

[Yevrah]

Is there a way as an individual to formally ask the BBC why they haven't covered that? I genuinely want to and as a license fee payer presumably they're obliged to respond to me.

It's as if these lefty brain rot fucks actually want Farage 2029.

Djokovic getting pissy and saying that a pundit "made a mockery of Serbian fans and also made insulting and offensive comments towards me" and then refusing to talk to the Aus host broadcaster. I assumed the pundit used some pretty fruity language.... He didn't. He just sang back at some rowdy Serb fans "Novak, he’s overrated. Novak’s a has-been. Novak, kick him out.” On what planet is that offensive?

[niko_cee]

The arch duke was assassinated for less.

[SvN]

What a fucking snowflake.

[Spikey M]

Is anyone surprised? The geezer is an absolute fanny.

Remember this:


Novak Djokovic accused some of the Centre Court crowd of using a Holger Rune chant as "an excuse to boo" as his hot-and-cold relationship with Wimbledon took another turn.

Hundreds of fans greeted Rune winners, and Djokovic errors, with elongated cries of 'Ruuuuuuune' during the pair's fourth-round match on Monday.

Djokovic - a convincing 6-3 6-4 6-2 winner - felt the crowd were disrespecting him.

When on-court interviewer Rishi Persad put it to the Serb that they were supporting his opponent, Djokovic said there was more to it.

"I know they were cheering for Rune but that's an excuse to also boo," he said

He is surprisingly a bit of a soft shite. You would think a guy who has prevailed in so many clutch moments can handle some boos.

[Spikey M]

The Southport Stabber has pleaded guilty. I can only imagine how much pressure he has been under to do that. A not-guilty plea and an extended trial is the last thing the government needs right now.

It'll be interesting to see how they sentence him. A guilty plea obviously usually comes with a lighter sentence, but anything less than life and people are on the street again, surely.

[Spikey M]

It turns out he refused to speak in court and supposedly nodded his head to pleading guilty. Now, I'm no conspiracy theorist, but....

[niko_cee]

Quite late in the day to be trying to get guilty plea credit.

Only thing playing in his favour is age, surely, and I don't know if that has a material impact. As an adult he'd be getting life [mandatory] and the tariff would be significant [imo 30 to whole life]. He may also just get detained for reasons of public protection which can be indefinite can't it?

[Spikey M]

We now understand why they kept using that old school picture. I don't think he could look more mental if he tried.

Jail Bezos.

[Pepe]

He should only have access to British made knives! Keep the foreign tat away from our shores.

[niko_cee]

Is that the bit they're not getting? Mentioning Amazon? Agree it does have a bit of a ring of the old "and they are using mobile phones" stories you used to hear about criminals in the late 90s/early 2000s, but, at the same time isn't it possible that the knife bought off Amazon was some insane zombie type thing that probably should have been prevented aye aye, see what I did there?

How has a young black kid managed to be caught carrying a knife ten times under tough on crime Tory rule and nothing been done about it? Oh wait, am I not understanding "found to have been carrying a knife ten times"? Were these findings retrospective? ie he was never actually found carrying a knife let alone carrying a Bezos special slicer?

[niko_cee]

Mentality monster.

He's at it again.

It really is quite remarkable.

[Lofty]

It's more the 'it's a disgrace a 17 year old can buy a knife off Amazon' messaging rather than the 'how the fuck was this kid who had every red flag going, was reported by multiple agencies and known to counter terrorism agencies buying a knife and able to act?'

[Pepe]

They should create a new government agency in charge of reviewing every item sold on Amazon and performing a risk assessment on each and every one of them.

[niko_cee]

Because the state was [is] utterly inept?

Given we know that to be the case I'd imagine outsourcing prevention to Amazon would probably be a marginally more successful strategy.

I just don't get how these comments representing THE LEFT not getting it. Services, often starved of sufficient funding and at known breaking point [may or may not be true of those involved here], or simply acknowledged to be not working by official government inquiries [known] lead to lack of action by incompetent government, leads to preventable deaths of innocent people. The subtext is that this is a race thing, that everyone is afraid to act or whatever, but I just don't see it. The contempt rules then bowling in and exacerbating this cover-up line obviously doesn't help, but again, they are the rational explanation, not some deep state metropolitan establishment conspiracy to not denigrate non-whites in any and all circumstances.

[niko_cee]

The age verification on distance selling is mental though. I've had cases of wine delivered to a 12 year old without an eyelid being batted. I've no idea if this happens on an industrial scale, but as a kid you'd be all over it wouldn't you? Amazon [or whoever] outsources it to delivery company outsources it to delivery driver and 95% of the time there is no check. It would be like if those self-checkouts only did age verification on the same basis as they do rescans in the supermarket.

[Magic]

When will you all get it? They don't care about stuff like this. IPTV, on the other hand...

[niko_cee]

The beauty of the distance selling model on age verification is also that in the event of scandal the responsibility is transferred to the lowest and necessarily poorest rung of the process. Culpable delivery driver gets sacked, although perhaps that implies a contract of employment which likely doesn't exist, and the world moves on.

[Jimmy Floyd]

It's the fact that the Home Secretary's take on the whole thing is not 'Why are we not picking up such cases when all the signs are there', but 'How can we stop nutters coming by weapons'. Just classic New Labour nanny-think in terms of refusing to address the wider issue but instead trying to ban something because it's much easier.

[SvN]

He's at it again.

Isn't this just cherry picking one thing she said to suit your argument? I mean, she said a bunch of other stuff about point 1 as well and they seem about as committed as any government ever is [let's have an inquiry!] into answering that. When the answer comes back need m0ar money they will then ignore that as per general government responses to all inquiries.

That you can buy age restricted items, which arguably shouldn't be for sale at all [perhaps now they aren't] online with impunity is also a problem.

[Spikey M]

The more I read, the more this reads as "vulnerable kid, sidelined by society, commits resent fueled stabbing in response". I would bet good money that he was deep down various violent Social Media rabbit holes.

[Shindig]

That reminds me, I need to keep an eye on the Nicholas Prosper case. A lad so dodgy he was kicked off reddit's gore feed.

Also, reading up on the Southport attacker, I don't think you fix that shit.

[niko_cee]

One of the red tops has The Amazon Killer as the headline, mission accomplished Yvette.

[Yevrah]

I’m somewhat sympathetic to the expectation that the authorities should catch all of these terror related (on that note, I mean, come on) offenders before they commit their crimes.

You don’t hear much about it these days (I guess it’s been deemed not good for community cohesion to broadcast it) but the number of people at it when we did hear about it was astronomical, thousands and thousands of the fuckers with thousands and thousands of plots.

Gotta catch em all, but how realistic is that?

[Spikey M]

Indeed, and - again - Social Media is at the heart of it. Thousands of ticking time bombs being radicalised by algorithms. How very dystopian.

[Shindig]

And how many reported threats go on to actually be credible? I'm not surprised, "This 13-16 year old lad is going to stab a school up' was missed. That one probably comes in eight times a day.

[Spikey M]

And how many reported threats go on to actually be credible? I'm not surprised, "This 13-16 year old lad is going to stab a school up' was missed. That one probably comes in eight times a day.

And again, indeed. They can't take every threat of violence seriously. Threats of violence are just part of the lexicon. "I'm going to throttle you in a minute", "do you want a punch in the face?", etc. Most of them would never do it and I don't envy the people that have to interpret which ones would.

[niko_cee]

Suspect old national failure Harold of Sussex just became hundreds of millions of pounds better off.

There are obvious policy reasons for the procedural rules around settlements, but the actual effect is somewhat chilling in terms of 'accountability'. Anyone could see that NGN would pay almost anything to avoid having their senior execs effectively put on trial and in the end that number gets too big to say no to.

[Kikó]

Who are they?

[Spikey M]

The mainstream media.

[Yevrah]

I swear I heard the judge reiterate the reasoning he couldn't be charged with a terror offence due to his motives (or lack of) not fitting the criteria, one of which being race.

So if I heard correctly, basically everyone who doesn't lead with "what they're not telling you".

I suppose the sticking point is that he stabbed and killed people of various races, so you can't really say it was racially motivated in a legal sense. However, the fact remains that he was obsessed with the Rwandan Genocide and was heard on atleast one occasion calling for a white Genocide, before putting together a library of anti white literature.

That's not to say he's not a very sick pup in various other ways, obviously. Just telling that it's brushed under the carpet, where it wouldn't be if it were a white man stabbing up a Gospel church before being found to have a load of books on Enoch Powell and Eugenics. The public are not stupid enough to not notice this and they can't hide it in a world with social media, so they need to start reporting on things honestly, regardless of demographics.

[Giggles]

The mainstream media.

Bought and paid for.

[Jimmy Floyd]

There is definitely a bit in this about the fact that people cannot accept the fact that he's unfortunately just a randomly spawned vile murderous nutjob, people can't deal with the implications of that, i.e. that there could be another one down any street near you. They need him to be part of some sort of grand conspiracy or to reflect wider truths, which unfortunately I think he probably doesn't.

At the same time, the lengths the authorities went to at the time to squash information about him were very disturbing and betrayed that they place 'community cohesion' far, far above the truth. That must change or we will all pay horribly. We need to stop celebrating diversity and instead start rewarding unity.

Also read that his dad stopped him from going back to his old school just a few weeks before seemingly to do something similar. The bit in the article I read said he ran out of the house shouting at his son and the taxi driver to stop him. Why the fuck was he not reporting him to the authorities if he suspected he was going to go murder a load of people?


I suppose the authorities were aware of him and didn't do anything either.

[Shindig]

I wonder if some of that might be down to the family wanting to sort that stuff out behind the scenes, rather than shop out their mental kid to the filth. Probably column A and B, though. Cops aware, don't take it seriously enough because the family's not telling them the whole story.

[Luke Emia]

I saw that at the weekend. Why should business have to fill in a whole on what is in essence a public service because local councils aren't providing it?

[Shindig]

But councils are providing it. This is people not knowing where to look.

[Spikey M]

I think having a civil conscience should be one of the costs you pay when you are a business owner. Allowing Doris to go for a wee without strong arming her into buying avocado on toast isn't much of an ask.

[Jimmy Floyd]

You should let old ladies in but not junkies. There we are, problem solved.

Old lady junkies I suppose you'll just have to make a call in the moment.

[Boydy]

But councils are providing it. This is people not knowing where to look.

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2021/nov/14/skip-to-the-loo-easier-said-than-done-as-britain-loses-hundreds-of-public-toilets


The result is a major reduction of Ladies and Gents across the nation. According to Freedom of Information data obtained by local government researcher Jack Shaw and shared with the Observer, the number of public lavatories that local authorities have funded and maintained fell from 3,154 in 2015/16 to 2,556 in 2020/21 – a drop of 19% across the past six years, which comes on top of reductions in previous years.

That article's from three years ago. It's probably got worse since then.

Wait, it's actually covered in the BBC article as well.

[Pepe]

How about people just remember to pee before leaving home?

[randomlegend]

Yeah nobody has ever been out long enough that they might need to pee again.

[Pepe]

If you are out and about in the city long enough to need to pee, surely you consumed something at some point? Pee in that establishment. Or just buy the bottle of water.

Obviously the places who restrict their toilet use do it because they are trying to avoid certain demographics from entering their place. You might find it annoying, but not as annoying as the place stinking of the worst smells ever perceived by mankind because the resident hobos have decided that your bathroom is now theirs.

[Pepe]

Jimmy got it right, of course:

Old lady junkies I suppose you'll just have to make a call in the moment.


The lol part is that, like with everything, the solution offered is the government taking more of your money.

EDIT: Touristic places, parks, etc. should be well equipped, of course.

[Spikey M]

The lol part is that, like with everything, the solution offered is the government taking more of your money.


Look how much we're already spending on it:

https://i.ibb.co/SNtjw7y/Screenshot-20250127-123935-Brave.jpg

Now there's 3 stories there. Firstly, we have a massive housing shortage (we know that), secondly, we have the most homeless people in the developed world (we/I didn't know that), thirdly, we are atleast better at keeping them off the streets than most.

However, as you point out, we do so at HUGE cost. Temporary Housing is an absolute rip off and it's usually squalor:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cj9l8njg2rzo

[Pepe]

I didn't know you had that many homeless. I wouldn't have guess, what with your awful weather.

[Magic]

I bet a huge chunk of that is ex-armed forces as well.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Having a terrible problem but excellent at hiding it from view. If anything sums up Britain, that is it.

[Spikey M]

Indeed. The whole gaff is held together with sticking plasters and duct tape.

[Pepe]

You have to wonder if you would have less homeless if you were not giving so many of them free accommodation. Not saying you should, but, you know.

[niko_cee]

Alternatively you could have fewer homeless people by providing them with permanent accommodation.

[Spikey M]

Yeah, I'm not sure there's an easy way to get around not having enough homes. You either sleep 5 to a room or you deal with mass homelessness.

[Shindig]

Even if those homes were available, you'd have to make assurances the place wouldn't be trashed within the first week.

[Magic]

Ban landlords lol it literally is that easy.

[Spikey M]

Ok, so you've banned landlords. Now what?

[randomlegend]

Ban lords. And land. Just in case they try to team up and fill the gap.

[Pepe]

Ok, so you've banned landlords. Now what?

Apparently this:


Alternatively you could have fewer homeless people by providing them with permanent accommodation.

The government should give a free house to every citizen.

[Magic]

Ok, so you've banned landlords. Now what?

There are houses for everyone. People don't need to rent. 100% mortgages. Reasonable house pricing. Allowed to marry 9 year olds.

[Pepe]

Yeah, I'm not sure there's an easy way to get around not having enough homes. You either sleep 5 to a room or you deal with mass homelessness.

"Build more homes" is the #1 solution to so many issues, but NIMBYdism is way too strong and nothing governments like more than more regulation.

Landlords rent the properties they own out, right? They're not just collecting them and letting them sit there empty? So, you ban all landlords, again... then what? Evict the people renting from them? Or do they just stay rent free now? What has this done to address homelessness?

[Ben]

Unironically this.

Correct and correct. Building is the only answer. Alas, this is another area in which we are terrible.

[Pepe]

Not really, was just an equally facile reply to what you said, albeit less cruel perhaps.

Fair enough :thbup:


Unironically this.

I mean, we all know that government is very good at building public infrastructure at very low costs in a timely manner. What could go wrong?

[Spikey M]

Fair enough :thbup:



I mean, we all know that government is very good at building public infrastructure at very low costs in a timely manner. What could go wrong?

The issue is, we already house millions of people for free (or heavily subsidised) via the benefit system. At the moment, we do so by pumping housing benefit and Universal Credit into private landlord bank accounts. Atleast if you have social housing, the money moves from the government to the government.

[Magic]

Landlords rent the properties they own out, right? They're not just collecting them and letting them sit there empty? So, you ban all landlords, again... then what? Evict the people renting from them? Or do they just stay rent free now? What has this done to address homelessness?

Most do, some don't. Some are just part of 'portfolios'. Also see Air BNB and other holiday lets.

No, they get the chance to purchase, if not then fuck off and buy a different house.

[Magic]

There isn't a magic wand you can wave to make something bad disappear, it takes lots of positive social steps. Banning people from using something as critical as living accommodation as an INVESTMENT is one of those things.

[Pepe]

The issue is, we already house millions of people for free (or heavily subsidised) via the benefit system.

Indeed. Should probably stop doing that.

[Spikey M]

Sure, but then we arrive back on the subject of wage stagnation and the lack of full-time jobs.

[Magic]

Sure, but then we arrive back on the subject of wage stagnation and the lack of full-time jobs.

We're just a nation of middle managers, office lackeys and SERVICE companies. Absolutely fucking doomed.

[randomlegend]

Isn't there an absolutely insane amount of housing (in London mostly) sat empty?

[Jimmy Floyd]

260,000, which doesn't touch the sides to be honest.

Aren't there quite a lot of properties (in London especially) that are just left sitting empty because they're just a store of wealth for rich foreigners?

Edit: I see we covered that.

[Magic]

Yes. I'll throw all the landlords in jail for being cunts.

[Boydy]

Maogic :cool:

[Spikey M]

Yes. I'll throw all the landlords in jail for being cunts.

But there's no room in jail, either. Unless you want to release a load to make room for the landlords ala Two Beer Korma.

Actually, you can let the nonces out after you've legalised marrying 9 year olds. Problem solved. Vote Tragic 2029.

[Boydy]

We should absolutely be banning AirBnB though. Obviously I think we should ban private landlordism too but in more realistic terms of what a government might actually do, AirBnB should be banned to fuck.

Private landlords taking housing that could be used by long term residents and turning it into short term rentals because they can get more money out of it from two weekends a month than they can actually housing people? Fuck that.

It also makes life miserable for neighbours in the same building/on the same street. Imagine you're a full time resident there and you have to deal with people partying to all hours every weekend. Or sex workers renting it out and using it while your kids are there. Fuck that.

[Boydy]

Build one big massive jail, let everyone invest in it and throw the fucking landlords in for life. Bigger your investment, the more awful the conditions are for your cell occupier.

The fact that 99.99% of AirBnB's don't provide breakfast should see it banned.

[Lewis]

Most long-term homeless people are spastics who couldn't cope with having their own house.

[Pepe]

They will get a government appointed butler.

[Spikey M]

I would repackage that as "Most long-term homeless people wouldn't cope with having their own house and would need to be in some kind of supported housing"

But yes, you're right, and whenever we take someone from a homelessness charity it usually ends in disaster.

[Magic]

Why can't they cope?

Where do you think abused children go? Children abandoned? Children in care?

The criminals, the heroin addicts, the mass murderers (such as our boy Axel). We're trying to fix the stable door long after the horse has bolted. Better keep cutting social services and things that make life enjoyable like libraries and leisure centers though!

[Lewis]

I bet a huge chunk of that is ex-armed forces as well.

We had a big noise from Veterans Aid come into work a few years ago, and he said that far from the idea that people leave the military 'institutionalised' and can't cope, the ones who end up homeless tend to be the people who do three to five years and then leave without any real skills or money behind them because they were basically idiots to begin with.

[Pepe]

If only they had a library and a leisure center to go to.

[Shindig]

Axel lived with his parents. His room was a tip.

This whole business with the Chelsea lady footballer and the tax/police sounds fascinating.

Without wanting to unequivocally side with the yobs, I can definitely imagine being locked in the back of a cab and being driven somewhere that isn't where you wanted to go might be more than a little distressing. I'm also not having simply calling a police officer stupid and white makes something a racially motivated offence. Also, without wanting to go all Tommy Robinson tinfoil hat, it is interesting to note that any sort of description of the cab driver appears entirely absent in all reporting.

[randomlegend]

Don't vomit in someone's cab and refuse to pay for it to be cleaned if you want to go straight home, I guess?

[niko_cee]

Probably wasted more than a days worth of Marcus Rashford's taxes with this utterly pointless pursuit though, and they did pay for it, hence the matter before the courts only being the racially motivated public order offence.
