Boy arrested on 13th birthday sentenced for throwing egg at police

A bit more now from Manchester Magistrates' Court where a teenager who was arrested on his 13th birthday, for his part in violent disorder outside a hotel housing asylum seekers in the city, has just been sentenced.

The teenager, who was 12 at the time of the incident in July, was given a 12-month referral order by District Judge Margaret McCormack.

The hearing was told he threw objects at police, including an egg, and also goaded police officers.

District Judge McCormack told the boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, that the group of adults and youths outside the Holiday Inn were "terrorising people trying to go about their daily lives".

"You may have been 12 but you knew what you were doing was wrong", she told him.

In defence, the court was told the boy was "not a racist" and was "ashamed by his actions" .

His mother, who was in court, was ordered to pay £150 compensation to a bus driver, who was assaulted by others during the violence.

An important question:
Where would you emigrate to ?
Only place where there ain't problems is at the North and south Pole
And our island here there's almost no personal crime

Most of my fathers side of the family emigrated to Australia and New Zealand in the 60's and I'm happy to state we have all kept in touch....in fact one of my cousins gave a room in his house for my lad when he was in Brisbane and Papua New Guinea not two months ago.

ESCAPE FROM LEBANON Inside ‘Operation Meteoric’ …Britain’s plan to evacuate 10,000 people from Lebanon in ‘Dunkirk-style’ mission

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/306497...uation-planes/

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said today: "I have a very important message for British nationals in Lebanon which is: the time to leave is now.

Hoi Starmer, the only reason there are British nationals in Lebanon is because you politicians and the civil service blob have given out British passports like bleeding confetti. I have a better idea, fill up a hundred or so ships with illegal migrants and ship them to Lebanon, rinse and repeat, the migrant problem will be solved forever when the scrounging bastards know that they'll be shipped to the Middle East.

I've got a bucket and a tap for any illegal migrant that returns here, £3 a head, cheap as chips.

UK will give sovereignty of Chagos Islands to Mauritius

The UK has announced it is giving up sovereignty of a remote but strategically important cluster of islands in the Indian Ocean after more than half a century.

The deal – reached after years of negotiations - will see the UK hand over the Chagos Islands to Mauritius in a historic move.

This includes the tropical atoll of Diego Garcia, used by the US government as a military base for its navy ships and long-range bomber aircraft.

The announcement, made in a joint statement by the UK and Mauritian Prime Ministers, ends decades of often fractious negotiations between the two countries.

The US-UK base will remain on Diego Garcia – a key factor enabling the deal to go forward at a time of growing geopolitical rivalries in the region between Western countries, India, and China.

PCs get jobs back after athlete search dismissal

Two former Metropolitan Police officers have been handed their jobs back and will receive back-pay after winning an appeal against their dismissal following their stop and search of two athletes.

Met PCs Jonathan Clapham and Sam Franks were fired in October 2023 after their search of the Olympic sprinters Bianca Williams and Ricardo Dos Santos.

The two men won their appeal against a ruling which found they lied by saying they could smell cannabis during the stop and search in west London in July 2020.

Mr Dos Santos described the appeal decision as "disappointing" and said he and Ms Williams would challenge it in the civil courts.

During the incident, the couple were pulled over by the officers and searched on suspicion of having drugs and weapons, but nothing was found.

The officers had followed Ms Williams and her partner Mr Dos Santos as they drove home from training with their baby, who was then three months old.

Mr Clapham and Mr Franks were dismissed after a disciplinary panel found they had lied about smelling cannabis when they pulled over the athletes.

Their dismissal was overturned by the Police Appeals Tribunal, which found the panel's decision was "irrational" and "inconsistent".

Keir Starmer pays back more than £6,000 in gifts - including Taylor Swift tickets

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politi...-back-33806271

The PM has paid back the cost of six Taylor Swift tickets, four to the races and a clothing rental agreement with a high-end designer favoured by his wife, Victoria

Keir Starmer has paid back more than £6,000 worth of gifts and hospitality he received after becoming Prime Minister.

The PM, who has been embroiled in a freebies row, is covering the cost of six Taylor Swift tickets, four to the races and a clothing rental agreement with a high-end designer favoured by his wife, Victoria.

Mr Starmer said it was "right" for him to repay the donations while new rules for ministers accepting gifts were drawn up. "We came in as a government of change,” he told a press conference in Brussels on Wednesday.

“ We are now going to bring forward principles for donations, because, until now, politicians have used their best individual judgement on a case-by-case basis. I think we need some principles of general application. So, I took the decision that until the principles are in place it was right for me to make those repayments."

The PM has now paid back all the gifts he received since entering No10, bar £1,920 for tickets and hospitality to two Arsenal matches. The gifts were received over August and September.

Mr Starmer has previously defended his decision to accept corporate hospitality, explaining that he cannot go in the stands at Arsenal for security reasons. The PM, who has an Arsenal season ticket holder for years, said: "The club have made arrangements for me to watch from elsewhere, it's as simple as that."

It comes after Mr Starmer and other Cabinet members - who vowed to "clean up" British politics - faced weeks of criticism for accepting tens of thousands of pounds worth of freebies from wealthy donors.

Gifts paid for by Mr Starmer include four Taylor Swift tickets from Universal Music Group totalling £2,800, two from the Football Association at a cost of £598, and four to Doncaster Races from Arena Racing Corporation at £1,936. An £839 clothing rental agreement with Edeline Lee, the designer recently worn by his wife to London Fashion Week, along with one hour of hair and makeup, was also covered by the Prime Minister.



The PM has been dogged by criticism for accepting thousands of pounds worth of clothes and glasses for himself and his wife Victoria from Labour donor Lord Alli. MPs are required to declare gifts within 28 days but a late declaration was made regarding outfits for Lady Starmer after No10 sought new advice.

The latest register of MPs' interests, published on Wednesday, includes the late declaration of £6,134 donated for "clothing and personal support to spouse". This was received on June 1, before he became PM in July, and has not been paid back. Since the freebies row erupted, Mr Starmer has said he and senior government ministers will no longer take donations for clothes.

Britain HITS BACK after Argentina's attempts to exploit Starmer's Chagos Islands decision to 'reclaim' Falklands

Downing Street has scrambled to defend the Falkland Islands after Argentina's attempts to leverage the Chagos Islands debacle for its own gain.

In light of yesterday's controversial move, Argentina renewed its vow to take full sovereignty of the Falklands, with its foreign minister threatening "concrete action" to hand the islands over to Buenos Aires.

But now, No10 has hit back.

A Downing Street spokesman told GB News: "To be very clear on the Falklands, Chagos does not change our policy or approach to other overseas territories."

The Chagos Islands - a British Overseas Territory (BOT) - will be handed over to China ally Mauritius alongside a "financial support" package in order to "address wrongs of the past", the Foreign Office said yesterday.

Britain will cede sovereignty over the Chagos Archipelago, including Diego Garcia - which plays host to a joint UK-US military base - but it will retain the facility on a 99-year lease, as the UK did with Hong Kong.
