Anger as police issue warning about Halloween 'upsetting religious beliefs' ( This has to be the dumbest thing ever ...)
Religious Sensitivity: Leicestershire Police warned that Halloween may upset neighbours observing religious or cultural beliefs, providing posters for households not participating in trick-or-treat.
Public Reaction: Critics called the move overly cautious, arguing Halloween is a long-standing tradition and the warning turns a harmless holiday into a national controversy.

Tories slam 'unfair' YouTube tax as millions abandon BBC licence fee
Proposed Streaming Fee: Plans aim to extend the TV licence to streaming services like YouTube, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, and Apple TV, potentially affecting 3–4 million extra households. Political Opposition: Conservatives call it “wholly unfair”, arguing it penalizes those who prefer streaming over live TV and undermines consumer choice. BBC Funding Challenges: Despite collecting around £3.8–3.9bn, the BBC faces a £121m deficit, leading to job cuts and closures of channels like BBC 3, BBC Scotland, and Radio 4 Extra.
If you pay a club membership of - say - a golf course, and you decide to play at another course, - do you have to pay the membership at the old course because you are still playing golf... even if some place else...
Mummy removed from exhibition over its lack of consent
A Scottish museum has removed its Egyptian mummy exhibition because it does not have “consent from the deceased individual”. Visitors to the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow found signs explaining that managers had “removed human remains from this display as a mark of respect”. The items removed include a coffin with the remains of Nekht, a priest, a mummified right hand recovered from the Valley of the Kings in Luxor, Egypt, and a mummified male head and right foot. The Daily Mail reported that Glasgow Life, a charitable organisation funded by the SNP-led Glasgow city council, said it planned to remove further human remains from Kelvingrove as well as from St Mungo Museum.
This HAS to be the dumbest thing imagineable and whoever came up with this is one dumb c*nt. So because the Mummy never gave permission for its body to be displayed, it is - 'out of respect' - taking it out of public view. WHAT THE FUCK ?

Trump's fraud hotline instantly backfires as tipsters only report him and his family
Whistleblower Incentive: The new Fraud Whistleblower Incentive Program (WHIP) offers up to $30,000 for tips exposing government waste, backed by $25 million from the Treasury and promoted by President Trump and VP JD Vance.
Online Trolls React: Critics flooded the platform, reporting Trump and his family instead of other fraud cases, turning the initiative into a viral joke. Controversial Outcomes: Despite claims of targeting fraud, the program highlights the Trump family’s business ties and crypto ventures, raising questions about accountability and public perception.
If Trump looses the midterm elections do not expect him to hand over power and allow the Democrats to dismantle most of the damage he has demanded - as he will fight this, call any defeat FAKE NEWS and will probably call his followers ' to arms' and will call on the military ) Civil Defense ) on some fake trumped up charge involving National Security. The dangerous one, the one the armed forces need to worry about in the case of any civil unrest, is the trouble Trump will try and cause - like fight to stay the president even after the people vote him out. Will he cause and create another January 6th 2010 where his followers attacked the White House and people were killed and NOTHING WAS DONE TO CENSUR HIM EVEN AFTER THAT - as the world witnessed an appalling display of action remonisent to Hitler or Musollini. DO NOT EXPECT AMERICA TO HAVE A PEACEFUL MIDTERM ELECTION AND EXPECT UTTER AND COMPLETE CHAOS CAUSED AND CREATED BY TRUMP. This is the time of utter and complete confusion and where one man alone has destrpoyed the globes economy while enriching himself to the tune of BILLIONS while financially ruining the USA.
Norway don’t award the Nobel Prizes, the Nobel Committee does, just like America doesn’t award the Oscar’s but the Academy of Motion Pictures Does
The USA doesn’t pay for Norway’s protection
The USA doesn’t pay for Norways healthcare, it doesn’t even pay for its own.
You are a dickhead.
It saddens that so many from the USA are so uneducated about the rest of the world and their ignorance spills out in all directions and just makes them look really dumb. Do they learn this shit at school or do they independantly all come to the sae WRONG ANSWER about - almost everything to do with the world outside the USA.
Vaccine pulled from use in the UK after deaths and serious side effects reported
A travel vaccine has been pulled from circulation after serious side effects and fatalities were linked to the drug. The MHRA announced on Tuesday: "Healthcare professionals should no longer prescribe or administer the IXCHIQ [chikungunya] vaccine and should instead consider alternative measures to reduce the risk of chikungunya infection in individuals travelling to affected areas."

Since receiving authorisation, a significant number of serious adverse reactions have been recorded, including chikungunya-like symptoms and rare neurological complications such as encephalitis.
Trump mourns 'beloved' New York tradition as it's axed after 150 years
Beloved Tradition: President Donald Trump criticized the end of Central Park horse-drawn carriages, calling it a "great tradition" and a "quintessential New York experience."

Historical Impact: Trump lamented the loss as “another piece of history that’s gone”, emphasizing it will be missed by many.
IT ENDED BECAUSE TOO MANY HORSES WERE DYING ON THE JOB.
Coroner's tears at death of child denied insulin as family prayed
An Australian coroner was moved to tears in Thursday after hearing evidence from the older sister of an 8-year-old girl who died after her insulin was withheld by her parents on religious grounds. Elizabeth Struhs died of ketoacidosis poisoning in 2022 after her father, Jason Struhs, denied her insulin for her type-1 diabetes. ( Is this manslaughter ? )
OK, before I answer that question, can I just mention that our Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, is withdrawing the UK’s recognition of the USA and is handing the 49 lower states back to indigenous people to govern them, and handing over Alaska to the Russians in return for $7.2M, i.e. undoing the deal of 1867.
What? You think that’s laughable, unfair, illogical and impractical?
Hmm.
Sorry, what was your question again? But in all honestly, having an American ask such a question puts serious doubt on their intellect and everyday knowledge of glabal affairs. It just goes to show how uneducated the US people truly are while assuming they rule the world. Truly, Amerivcan intel on the rest of the world is ludicrously 1st gade education where in Europe even our basic infants know more... Der !!!
Moment 'stolen' sheep are spotted in farmer's field as he is held over £100,000 insurance fraud

City of London police officers discovered the flock - which the farmer had claimed were rustled from his fields three times - last Tuesday while they were carrying out a search warrant.

Customer outraged over mandatory 20 percent tip for ordering from bar after 10pm: 'Ridiculousness'
A customer has been left outraged over being charged a mandatory 20 percent tip for ordering from a bar after 10pm.
The Corner Pocket, in Williamsburg, Virginia, describes itself as being a 'staple for over three decades,' offering '13 pool tables, darts, a full-service bar, a dining room and a spacious outdoor patio.' But it recently came under fierce fire from potential customers after its 'late night auto gratuity' policy surfaced on Reddit. One disgruntled visitor took to the discussion forum to share an image of their receipt dated from 10.40pm on Wednesday. It revealed that the patron had ordered two Guinnesses at $8.50 each before $1.87 tax was added.
Truth behind Kim Jong Un's death - all the signs North Korean despot was deteriorating
South Korean intelligence agencies confirm his health is legitimately deteriorating. The despot weighs over 140kg and is classified as severely obese, placing him at a very high risk for developing cardiovascular disease. The North Korean leader's daily habits heavily contribute to his worsening condition. Known to be an intense cheese enthusiast and a heavy smoker, his lifestyle makes him a prime candidate for sudden, severe medical emergencies. His deteriorating physical state is compounded by a deadly genetic legacy. Both his father and grandfather died from major heart attacks and strokes, meaning the current dictator is genetically predisposed to similar fatal cardiovascular issues.
Another thing backfires. The BBC WANTED DEPOSITIONS. And what does Trump say?” The Trump trust holds the record,” he says. Trump tries to dodge the deposition. So Ben explains how Trump is a master of delay and evading, but it’s not happening lol…Trump will be busy.
Trump is the one who filed the suit…..he is the one who made the date. This, says Ben, is what Trump does. If you fight back, then he delays delays delays. Trump is a piece of work!!! Maybe his back is aginst the wall and he knows the BBC, unlike American broadcasters, WILL NOT LAY DOWN AND KISS THE ASS OF TRUMP and the good old BEEB is winning in this law suit as Trump runs from it in fear of having hs financial documentation examined in a court of law.
Millions quit statins over side effects.
A 154,000-person review says most are not the drug.
A large review found that most symptoms people blame on statins were no more common than in patients taking a sugar pill.
ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT. WHAT UTTER CRAP.
TWICE NOW - 2 dfferent statins, one half the strength of the first. BOTH CAUSED SERIOUS HIP, BACK AND JOINT PAIN so serious I ended up at a hip specialist - and ONLY AFTER STOPPING THE STATINS DID ALL PAIN GO - IT WAS THE STATINS... THEY ARE DANGEROUS... DO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO DOCTORS AS THEY ARE PAID TO DISH THESE OUT RATHER THAN SORT A DIET BASED REDUCTION IN CHOLESTEROLE... TABLETS ARE THE LAZY, CHEAP AND COST EFFECTIVE METHOD - FOR THE DOCTOR - AND NOT FOR THE PATIENT.
STATINS HAVE SERIOUS SIDE EFFECTS - BE WARNED.
