On the subject of knives and stabbings I’ve just volunteered through work to go into schools and teach the kids about the perils of carrying a knife and what happens when you get stabbed etc. Meant to be sometimes gruesome but if that’s what it takes to maybe get the message across then so be it. Dunno if I’ll get it ‘cos they’ve had a lot of volunteers but worth a try. Amazing to see how many staff are willing to use their own time, unpaid, to spread this important message......hats off to them all.

Well done Stainesy, it is such a dangerous crisis. I hope you can make just a few of the kids think about what could happen in the heat of the moment/ by accident if they carry a knife .

You only referred to one part of the tweet Stroller? You omitted the sneaky Grieve who once again is undermining this country's negotiation.
As for a 'no deal'... we need to grow some balls and walk away because May's deal is crap and the EU are just playing games to keep us in a CU or stop us from leaving. People around the country want this done and dusted and prolonging this uncertainty doesn't help anyone.

This countries negotiations ended with an agreed deal which was then voted down in parliment. So grieve is undermining a negotiation that was already agreed. You are a bizarre poster.

You've missed the point Bob. We are not allowed to have any more votes until we have delivered on the Brexit vote. It has been forgotten or more likely deliberately glossed over that according to Saint Theresa and her dogs of war Parliament had no say in the matter at all, they were there merely to rubberstamp whatever she, Davis and Johnson agreed to. It took legal action and a crushing defeat in the Supreme Court for them to remember that we are a parliamentary democracy.

You seem to forget that May's/EU deal had to be voted on in the House. The EU knew that. Even I knew that! Yet they waited for it to get rejected and then said they wouldn't reopening the agreement? That tells us everything we need to know about them yet you and the rest of the remoaners would rather watch our country be put in a difficult position then say actually 'the EU are wrong on this' (which they are).
May's deal won't get through and either she starts listening and respects the will of the people or she should throw in the towel, call a GE and we get rid of these weak useless MP's and get some strong MP's in who believe in Brexit.
 
Anti-Semitism: Labour could face human rights probe

The Labour Party may have unlawfully discriminated against Jewish people, the UK's human rights watchdog says.
The Equalities and Human Rights Commission said it was considering launching a formal investigation into anti-Semitism in the party.
The Labour Party said: "We completely reject any suggestion the party has acted unlawfully and will be co-operating fully with the EHRC."
The watchdog is asking the party to work with it to improve its processes.
Once the EHRC's formal letter is received by Labour, the party will have 14 days to respond to the concerns raised.
Depending on the response, the commission can take enforcement action ranging from a voluntary agreement with the party to a full-blown investigation.
If a formal investigation was launched, the EHRC would request interviews with key figures in the party and have the power to demand access to correspondence, emails and other information to determine how Labour dealt with allegations of anti-Semitic discrimination.

Sadiq Khan: 'I’d do everything in my power to cut stop and search'

Stop and search pledge: Sadiq Khan ( )
ES News email
Sadiq Khan today promised to drive down the use of stop and search by the Metropolitan Police if he is elected to City Hall.
The Labour mayoral hopeful said he would do everything within his power to continue the reduction of the policing tool. In London stop and search has fallen by 54 per cent since 2010, but the use of a more intelligence-led, targeted approach has led to thousands more arrests.
Tooting MP Mr Khan, pictured, also pledged to strengthen rules that prevent officers stopping people simply on the basis of their skin colour, by changing the law to make it illegal. He said: “The last few years have shown what can be achieved when there’s a concerted effort to reduce the overuse of stop and search.
“But there’s still much more to be done, and if I’m Mayor I’ll do all in my power to further cut its use. Overuse of stop and search can have a dramatic effect on communities. It undermines public confidence in our police if Londoners are being stopped and searched for no good reason.”
The Met dramatically reduced the number of random stop and searches in 2012 in an effort to improve relations with black and ethnic minority communities.

Sad Dick Khan is the worst Mayor of London I can remember. Even Red Ken with his Jew problems was better and he was a muppet. The more I listen to him on TV the more I can see why we have these problems.
 
What actual power does this Khan geezer have over policing and budgets in London. Dont get me wrong, I'm far from being a fan of his but for me the buck stops with those who cut policing numbers and vital services yet it seems to go unmentioned. I hear of another murder today? Was it a stabbing also? It's about time this weak, pathetic government that is making us the laughing stock of the world got a grip, stopped just making soundbites and took some responsibility for this shambolic state of a country. We cant arrest our way out of this problem, May says. Damn right we cant cos there isn't enough ****ing police you dizzy bitch!
