Three brothers have been found guilty of non-recent child sex offences in Barrow and Leeds.

Shaha Amran Miah, 48, Shaha Alman Miah, 47, and Shaha Joman Miah, 38, were convicted of child sex offences that occurred between 1996 and 2010.

Amran Miah sexually abused three children and faced 16 sexual offences, two charges of intimidation and one of kidnap.

Joman Miah sexually abused three children and faced 40 offences.

The girls abused by Amran Miah and Joman Miah were as young as six or seven when the abuse began, and it lasted several years.

The middle brother, Alman Miah, faced three sexual offence charges against one girl.

Saar, Brighton mayor is this lady

https://www.brighton-hove.gov.uk/counci ... ghton-hove

The Lord Chancellor is simply the minister for courts and other functions - the office is not in a judiciary capacity though. Still its an important function.

The head of ofsted board appointment of Hamid Patel is a travesty though. The guy is an orthodox Muslim that forced orthodox teachings in his academies

Another British F35 has done an emergency landing, this time in Japan.

Should one start making snide comments about the ability of UK to maintain such complicated equipment and training😛

The fighter pilot had contacted air traffic control in advance, stating that he was experiencing a possible mechanical problem and wishing to make an emergency landing,” the airport office told NHK.

Apparently Spain and Switzerland have reportedly cancelled plans to purchase U.S.-made F-35

Because we can't hurt the feelings of those who claim descendancy from them can we...

I am pretty sure the major minority will demolish the statue as soon as they gain power.

Even to this day they carry remembrance of the defeat of Siraj-ud-daullah by Clive.

The F-35B is the second from the carrier HMS Prince of Wales to make a high-profile diversion to an airport during its current Indo-Pacific cruise.

The archbishop of canterbury and the royal commission for political correctness announced today that the climate in the britshitistan should no longer be referred to as "english weather"

Rather than offend a sizeable portion of the britshitistan population, it will now be referred to as: "muslim weather"

‘Just hysteria’: UK faces a crisis but the IMF bailout talk is overblown



Just as Callaghan’s chancellor, Denis Healey, did before her, Rachel Reeves is facing a challenge to placate jittery global investors. The UK’s long-term borrowing costs have risen close to their highest level since 1998, adding to pressure on the chancellor before a tough autumn budget.

With a lacklustre growth outlook, sticky inflation, and Labour’s welfare U-turns hitting the public finances, most economists expect Reeves to announce a raft of tax increases to cover a shortfall of between £20bn and £40bn against her main, self-imposed, fiscal target.

Last weekend the Sunday Telegraph ran an article headlined: Britain heading towards IMF bailout, featuring quotes from three experienced economists comparing the fiscal mess facing the two Labour administrations 49 years apart.

However, for most economists, comparisons with Healey’s begging-bowl plea to the global lender of last resort are significantly overblown.

“You can quote me as saying that is complete nonsense… something like that is just hysteria,” said Michael Saunders, a former member of the Bank of England’s monetary policy committee. “That is not to say the UK does not have a weak fiscal position. It does. But it is somewhere well between that and an IMF bailout.”

and that's what all panicked economists say............ :mrgreen: ................

Father Ted co-creator Graham Linehan has been arrested at Heathrow Airport on suspicion of inciting violence in relation to his posts on X.

He was arrested by five officers after arriving on a flight from the US, and said in an online Substack article that officials then became concerned for his health after taking his blood pressure, and took him to hospital.
...
and this was the longest post, all of three sentences, he made on X along with two other one sentence posts.

Yesterday Starmer employed a new adviser (supposedly Economic). Her name is Minouche Shafiq. I had never heard of her but some online research tells me that she is a renowned Economist and a former head of Columbia University in New York. She was born in Alexandria, Egypt and is a British/US citizen.

Your pictures of the Muslim MPs include Sajid Javid, who as far as I am aware, is not a practising Muslim married, to a Christian Englishwoman and whose children are brought up Christian.

The last woman in your picture gallery, was responsible for, among other social roles, reducing Homelessness. She resigned a couple of weeks ago when it emerged that she had evicted a group of tenants from a block of flats she owned in East London. She then advertised them for rent at twice the previous rate.

Aldonkar ji,

I will gladly take your word for it

but still it leaves them with a lot of jihadis in parliament

Not good for any society that masquerades as a democracy.

I have heard the britshits describe themselves as a "crowned democracy"



BTW,

renowned economist and columbia university don't go together.

however, woke hard core commie and columbia university do go together.

starmer is not renowned for his intellectual acuity

The new UK Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood supports Sharia law. All devout Muslims do. Sharia law runs counter to every foundational structure of England. Not a single journalist has dared raise this monstrous issue.

The UK is absolutely headed for their version of Trump redux.

The current government is Labour only in name while employing policies that aim to woo Conservatives and fail massively. Labour voters are fed up of Starmer while Cons voters are migrating to Reform. The end result is that we will have the grifter extraordinaire, the charlatan Farage as the next PM. I have even heard a lot of Indian origin voters planning to vote Reform - a case of chickens voting for KFC…

The only saving grace is the elections are 3-4 years away and a lot can happen till then

Yes but non Muslims will not be and cannot be subject to blasphemy. Well perhaps Christian’s and Sikhs. But Hindus do not really have a concept of blasphemy. Their sardonic observations will logically be exempt from the usual paroxysm of performative rage.

Concept is not there, then you need to have similar severe punishment under Hindu laws, to prevent the one way street happening. Here even the Uniform Civil Code is not implemented.
First and foremost Government must implement District wise minority rule. India being such a big country, minority rights should be based on Districts wise data where District data will determine who are the minorities. Hindus in those districts either living or any incident happening to Hindus there, must come under Minority rules and Minority protection. To any opposition to such a law, should be Hindus are minority in the World and by default are minorities in India. Or they can make Hindus also minorities citing Hindus being minority in the World.

It is already asymmetric. They mock. The Hindu rightly does nothing. But Hindus cannot even mock lest qayamat occurs.

Again there should be no censorship. Let both sides lambast each other's gods. Who will be offended more? That is the point.

I don’t think it will be Hindus. Sikhs and Muslims are ever ready to kill for any slight or offence to their religion. Well those fine Englishmen just marched sloganeering Allah, Allah who the &$?@ is Allah? Not a peep from the defenders of the faith.

I have zero problems having my ancestoral gods being mocked. They are not that quick to be offended, neither do they need their devotees to go on a killing rampage.

That will not work when the numbers change. They can shout because they are more in numbers and are similarly fundamentalists. England and Europe will at some point will turn Christian again and Crusades will be back. You cannot bottle these ideologies with free speech or whatever for long. They will go back to their roots. What matter is the leader. Trump came and the world is seeing rise of Imperialism. A hard core Christian leader at the helm elected once, will turn Europe back to the days of Crusades. None of the Muslims, who are shouting to capture Europe in so and so years will be safe.

That is what those who opposed IPC 295C (or was it B) in the Central Legislative Assembly of British India said, too.
Well said!
This was the law that established a kind of blasphemy law in India.

The Man made Laws are for non believers. No law saved Kanhaiya Lal. The more you open up the more fundamentalism grows in the Quam. Punishment matters. It should be severe and several times more than punishment meant for the non believers. In England or the U.S the punishment to such crime is severe. Even that is not enough. So the best bet is give give punishment as per Sharia to Muslims. Courts or Sharia ruling should never be with Mullahs. It just be that punishment meant for crimes where both parties are believers should be Sharia punishment. This should be codified in the constitution.
Non believers/ other belief systems should have their own code and laws. But when it comes to pious believer committing crime against non believers, the punishment should be Sharia or equivalent in the Non Sharia law as well. Also Ghar Wapsi should be legalized and there should be a simple process to that. Ghar Wapsi is only applicable when there is no crime committed against non believers.

Indeed the state should ensure that the laws of sharia are observed to the letter. Crimes against non Muslims by Muslims should be punished by sharia administered by the state. And also be punished by the secular legislation. To be suffered consecutively not simultaneously. Let us get serious about sharia/ blasphemy.

Do understand that there I am definitely advocating for pious Muslims. They have a right to sharia. Their women have a right to be beaten. But the state has the right to jail the perpetrator under secular law, where sharia is recognised but not exclusively.

The approach taken by Sangh led govt seems to be the opposite and to implement UCC and hope things will become normal. This is good for short term. What about long term. Even Mota Bhai was asking whether Sharia should only be for having four wives and not for chopping off hands for stealing and hence should not oppose UCC. Govt should bring back Ghar Wapsi on a massive scale.
