EXCLUSIVE Inside the 'hellhole' northern village where refugees are being 'dumped' by London councils as fed-up locals say 'we've been forgotten'

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...-councils.html

Billions of ££££s are spent on looking after these Illegal Migrants while the indigenous people are neglected, taxed to the hilt or have their Winter Fuel Allowance removed from them, the UK has become a dumping ground for the Scum of the earth.
About £14 billion a year is given away to some of the richest countries of the world, more than £10 billion has been sent to Africa to help with Climate Change and what does the UK get out of it, we have African Scum, Asian Scum, and Middle Eastern Scum arriving by small boats on a daily basis.

It's easy to deal with them, put them back on bigger boats at gun point if necessary and, send them all back to the land of the EU, there are no wars in the EU so they can have them all back and, that means every Migrant who is scrounging off the taxpayers.

no, thanks - send them back to Africa and Middle East.
Those illegals want to have their caliphate in Europe, so no need to send them reinforcements from UK.

^The EU's open borders policy is the culprit here, you let them walk through all your EU countries without having any customs checks at all, murderers, rapists, terrorists and drug smugglers by the thousands, you'll all pay the price for that stupidity one day. They're your Scum, take them back.

This is going on all over the UK, the police aren't trusted in many places anymore and in some communities they're hated, some of those bent coppers are worse than the criminals they arrest.

Fat Bear Week delayed after contestant killed by rival

Quote:

The start of the annual Fat Bear Week contest in the US was delayed this week after one of the potential contestants was killed by a rival.

Both bears were in contention for the 10th anniversary of the tournament pitting the heaviest bears against each other in an online vote, as they finish bulking for hibernation.

Caught on a live webcam, the brutal attack involved a male known as Bear 469 and a female called Bear 402 in a river at Alaska's Katmai National Park and Preserve.

Naked Donald Trump statue near Las Vegas branded 'deplorable'

Quote:

A statue depicting a naked Donald Trump has been branded "deplorable" by Republicans after it was put on display near Las Vegas.

The 43ft-tall effigy of the former US president in the nude was displayed on a plot of land off a highway in Nevada.

It's unclear who is behind the sculpture, with the Nevada Republican Party saying it "strongly condemns the deplorable statue".

"While families drive through Las Vegas, they are forced to view this offensive marionette, designed intentionally for shock value rather than meaningful dialogue," it added.

"President Trump and Republicans are focused on delivering results that matter - reducing inflation, securing our borders, creating jobs, and ensuring a brighter future for all Americans.

"While Democrats, especially Kamala Harris, continue to prioritise shock value over substance."

A spokesperson for the anonymous artist behind the work said the installation is called Crooked and Obscene.

They told local TV station KSNV the statue is "43ft tall, 10ft wide… weighs 6,000lbs, and is made of foam over rebar," adding that it intended to "ignite conversations".

The statue was due to be removed by Monday night and will be moved to "key swing states," the spokesperson added.

Cheese dating back 3,600 years found in Chinese tomb, researchers say

Quote:

The world's oldest piece of cheese has been discovered - found laid across a mummy's neck.

A 3,600-year-old coffin was opened in the Xiaohe Cemetery in Xinjiang, China, during an excavation in 2003, where a substance was draped across the neck of a mummified young woman.

Despite seeming like a piece of jewellery at the time, scientists have now said they have identified the sample as the oldest piece of cheese in the world.

Qiaomei Fu, a paleogeneticist at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, told Sky's partner network NBC News: "Regular cheese is soft. This is not. It has now become really dry, dense and hard dust."

She explained that when the woman's coffin was exhumed, it was found to be well preserved because of the Tarim Basin desert's dry climate.

Bin lorries, ambulances and a hearse among vehicles stolen in the UK in 2023

Quote:

Ambulances, bin lorries, road sweepers and even a hearse were among more than 100,000 vehicles stolen in the UK in 2023, according to newly released figures.

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) data shows the vehicle type taken most often was a five-door hatchback car, with 24,518 thefts, followed by estate cars (20,685), motorbikes (18,673) and small vans (11,172).

But the 2023 thefts also include a few more conspicuous vehicles - including nine ambulances, seven ride-on lawnmowers, four bin lorries, three road sweepers and two tar sprayers.

The figures also include one hearse, one concrete mixer, one sewage tank emptier, and one fire engine.

It shows there is "literally no type of vehicle that someone won't steal", motoring research charity the RAC Foundation said in response to the data, which was issued in response to a Freedom of Information (FOI) request.

The figures - 106,524 thefts in total - relate to stolen vehicle reports made by police forces to the DVLA.

Iwao Hakamada: World's longest-serving death row inmate acquitted in Japan

Quote:

The world's longest-serving death row prisoner has been acquitted after a court in Japan ruled he wasn't behind a 1966 multiple murder.

Iwao Hakamada, 88, had spent 48 years behind bars, more than 45 of them on death row, longer than any other inmate.

The ex-boxer was sentenced to death in 1968 for killing his former boss, his wife, and two of their children and setting fire to their home.

He was acquitted on Thursday by a court in Shizuoka in central Japan, after the presiding judge, Koshi Kunii, said he wasn't guilty and evidence used against him had been made up, Japanese public broadcaster NHK said.

Hakamada originally denied being behind the murders, before confessing, which he later said he was forced to do after a violent interrogation by police.

Questions arose over blood-stained clothes investigators said belonged to him, which were found more than a year after his arrest, hidden in a tank of fermented soybean paste, or miso.

In 2023, a Tokyo High Court accepted evidence that clothing soaked in miso for more than a year turns too dark for bloodstains to be seen and admitted the evidence may have been concocted by investigators.

Furthermore, blood samples did not match Hakamada's DNA, and the trousers that prosecutors submitted as evidence were too small for him.

His planned execution was delayed by lengthy appeals and the retrial process, which meant he'd been in jail for 27 years by the time his first appeal for a retrial was turned down.

Last year the court changed its verdict, ruling in favour of his second appeal, organised by his 91-year-old sister, Hideko Hakamada, in 2008.

That ruling led to the latest retrial, which began in October.

Hakamada hasn't been in prison for 10 years as he was released in 2014 when a court ordered a retrial after new evidence suggested investigators fabricated evidence used against him, but he was not acquitted then.

After his release, Hakamada served his sentence at home because his frail health and age made him a low risk for escape.

At a final hearing at the Shizuoka court in May before Thursday's decision, prosecutors again demanded the death penalty, triggering criticism from rights groups that prosecutors were trying to prolong the trial.

He is the fifth death-row convict to be found not guilty in a retrial in Japan since 1945.

BBC weather app predicts hurricane force winds in London and 400C in Nottingham after 'glitch'

Quote:

The BBC has apologised to users after its weather app mistakenly showed forecasts for "hurricane force" winds near London and temperatures over 400C in Nottingham.

BBC Weather forecasters were quick to point out the issue and make clear the incorrect graphics were being looked into.

"Oops, don't be alarmed by some of our [BBC Weather app] data this morning," lead BBC Weather presenter and meteorologist Simon King wrote on X.

"Be assured there won't be 14408mph winds, hurricane force winds or overnight temperatures of 404C. It is being looked at and hopefully sorted asap."

Mr King said he appreciated the graphic may have caused "some confusion", especially with Hurricane Milton bringing dangerous winds to parts of Florida in the US.

"Hopefully, the impossible numbers changed that," he said. "Still being worked on."

BBC broadcast meteorologist Matt Taylor added: "There's been a data glitch between our suppliers and the app/online. Folk are working to solve the issue.

"No need to panic buy plywood and candles."

Among the erroneous forecasts were 15,583mph winds predicted for Lincoln.

The issue was also acknowledged by forecasters on air.

I took these pictures this evening in Williamsburg, Virginia. I've never seen anything like it. I suppose it could be an aurora ... although that would be extremely rare at this latitude. At any rate, it was striking.
