Everyone involved in this who claims to care about the housing crisis, shame on them. Shame on them. Not the straight up NIMBYs, who genuinely couldn’t give a fuck about the housing crisis - respect to them, they’ve played a blinder here. Fair play. The key ingredient here was…
867 new homes to replace a car park and shopping arcade in Peckham. Rejected by the council (and opposed by the local MP, Labour environment minister @Miatsf). standard.co.uk/news/london/pe…
Affordable housing requirements are like a gateway drug for left-NIMBYISM. You think you're just having a quick puff on the "we need more units at X% below market rate" pipe, but soon after you're injecting "supply can't solve the housing crisis" directly into your eyeballs.

UK policing needs to be broken up, with: A) Local police forces for community policing, low-level crime (140k) B) Elite national agency for serious crime and investigations (15k) C) Gendarmerie for public order, security, emergencies, and firearms (25k + 10k reserves)
Happened in Clapham common over the weekend A police car window was smashed.
Letting fake "asylum-seekers" stay in this country is massively unfair to the immigrants who applied properly but are denied entry & genuine asylum-seekers whose appeals are delayed for months/years. We seem to have lost all sense of "doing right by those who do the right thing".

Britain has replaced free markets with an incoherent system of judicially enforceable rights and statutory obligations. My latest for @TheCriticMag thecritic.co.uk/the-british-ec…
These brothers have serious clout. Enough to get their own, carefully edited, evidence of the incident out first to win support; and enough to mobilise the weight of government and left-wing support on *their* side, having brutally assaulted that government's own police officers.
🚨 FULL CONTEXT: WHAT HAPPENED AT MANCHESTER AIRPORT 🚨 The viral clip from Manchester Airport looked damning. A chaotic arrest, forceful takedowns, stunned bystanders. But what the clip didn’t show was the full story, one that includes broken bones, 12 punches, and officers…
The test of the seriousness of this would be a willingness to abandon the pensions triple lock.

Amount made by University of Bedfordshire selling this Bangladeshi gentleman a visa: £50,700 Amount spent by the taxpayer on his 28 year minimum prison term: £1,448,272
When we did our paper on the value of university courses Bedfordshire ran several of the very worst courses in the country in terms of ‘Proceed rate’. One had only 15% of students going on to acceptable outcomes.
That an *English Literature graduate* of Bedfordshire Uni required *an interpreter* should trigger an immediate revocation of Bedfordshire's right to grant visas - and a wider investigation into its degree standards. It won't though, because we're no longer a serious country.
