This + the no jury trials makes for worrying reading. This country if for nothing else has always been a beacon for democracy ,with the above now coming true plus the incarceration for many making comments on social media which normally would be ignored then I find it funny that for example the comments made about Bangladesh's "corrupt" justice system in the Tulip thread when in our own country the same x x comments could be applied. |

And there's me thinking what exactly are they doing there ,excluding the fact that they make so many peoples lives a misery.
"A Bill proposing changes to bus services in Wales is close to its final stage in the Senedd.
This week, Members of the Senedd debated and voted on a series of changes to the Bus Services (Wales) Bill.
These changes, called amendments, refine the wording of the Bill before a final decision is made.
In total, 17 amendments were agreed. Covering the Bill's main goals, the Welsh bus network plan and Welsh Minister's core duties.
The Bill will now move to its last stage, when Members will vote on whether to pass it. The vote is planned for 9 December." |

This all day , he started to show glimpses of having the ability to beat a man and putting in a decent cross (those were the days kids.)

An update , not from the Government ( no surprise there ) but by Rupert Lowe ,Independent MP ,just wish there were so any more like him,
Rupert Lowe
An update on our independent Rape Gang Inquiry. For those who don't know, I was so frustrated with the lack of action on the rape gangs and Labour’s failure to establish a national investigation, I crowdfunded over £600k to start our own independent inquiry.
This was the largest crowdfunder in British political history. All achieved with almost zero help from the media. It was done by the people, with the overwhelming percentage of donations small amounts. It was a humbling experience, and I want to thank every single person who donated - one penny or one thousand pounds.
This effort helped to push the Labour Government into action. I have been desperately depressed with their progress. My parliamentary motion calling for action has been signed by both Conservative and Labour MPs. No Lib Dem. No SNP. No Reform. Our job is not only to press ahead with our investigation, but also to pressure this appalling Labour Government.
Our team has been working tirelessly, gathering evidence, speaking with survivors/relevant witnesses, and preparing for our hearings which are taking place in early 2026.
The mental health and safeguarding of the survivors is at the very heart of everything that we do.
- We have mental health support on offer for our participants seven days a week.
- A qualified mental health nurse, whose own daughter was a survivor so he understands better than almost anyone the pain families have been through.
- Professional risk assessments are being carried out on all survivor participants for the hearings, and robust support will be provided throughout the fortnight and after.
- A qualified safeguarding lead with vast experience.
As you can see, we are taking this incredibly seriously. I want to thank the team for their work on this and continued support for those who have been so comprehensively failed by the state. Clearly, we have a limited budget, but we are doing everything we can.
We have released a number of research reports detailing our data findings so far. Crucially, the lack of data available from local councils/police forces has meant that nobody has any idea about how widespread this scandal is. We launched a petition, and reached the successful number in a matter of hours. This will now be debated in Parliament thanks to you. I am chasing a date for this…
One of the most powerful experiences as an MP was welcoming dozens of survivors to Westminster to tell their stories. MPs from across Parliament came - Labour, Tory, Northern Irish, Plaid, independents. No Reform, Lib Dem or SNP MPs bothered to show up. It was an emotional day, to be honest - not one I will forget.
But the vast majority of our effort and preparations are going into the hearings in 2026, and then the preparation of our report.
Following that, we are planning to take out private prosecutions. This is not a talking shop. We want to see action, and we want justice. That will mean finding appropriate targets, and then taking the relevant legal actions. More details on this will emerge at the right time…
Our hearings will take place over a ten working day period in central London. We have a topic for each day, and have invited specialists to help our barrister chair and Sammy Woodhouse, who is leading on the inquiry. She is a survivor herself, and this was vital to the work we’re doing. I wanted this to be a survivor-led inquiry. And that’s exactly what we’re doing.
Sammy has done incredible work, and I want to personally thank her for everything that she’s done, and what she is doing.
I can think of nobody better to lead such an inquiry.
The daily hearing topics are.
Parents and carers.
Pregnancy, abortion, born of rape.
Whistleblowers.
Policing and justice.
Social care.
NHS, mental health and sexual health.
Education and licensing.
Demographics - the role of religion.
Media, social media and the mechanisms of online grooming.
Politics.
We will not shy away from the difficult questions, including on the role of Islam.
Of course, we’re all entirely in the unknown. We shouldn’t have to be doing this. The Government should be doing this, but they’re not. So we have had to try. It’s that, or moan on social media. I choose trying, every single time.
Invitations have been sent to our prospective panellists and expert witnesses, and we have had a number of positive responses already.
The hearings are planned for early February 2026, with the report being drafted after that.
Again, I want to thank everyone who donated and who has supported our inquiry. It simply wouldn’t be possible without you.
It’s easy to talk in politics, we are trying to do. Labour are failing. The Tories failed in their 14 years. Reform promised an inquiry, and failed. The Lib Dems fail to even properly acknowledge there’s an issue. It’s so very disappointing.
Survivors, and their families, all deserve so much better.
The mass rape of working class white girls is a rotting stain on our country’s history - this inquiry is doing our very best to drag the scandal into the spotlight.
I've always found that actions speak louder than words.
Progress made, a lot more to do |

So reading that I have to assume the children who are in "poverty" are the children of parents too stupid to screw the system, work and pay taxes .

One of the reasons I'm not particularly happy with our new manager is the lack of experience as a manager and of the C/Ship. We all can and could see something wasn't right with the squad and I thought we needed someone who understands and has a decent track record in the league .I hope Matos will be a success but imo the thought of relegation is one of dread and whether hes the right man at this moment will have to be seen. |

Why not tell us how much taxpayers money has been spent on the Mbale Trees project since 2010 , and why not comment on our ex First Minister Carwen Jones who happens to be a director that particular charity . |

For any avoidance of doubt , this information is the one that counts , not some far away city ,the place where you live is the area thats important .
I've lived in the poorest possible roughest part of Swansea for 40 years and never until recently have I felt unsafe ,maybe due to the fact that for 35 years I felt impervious to attack but a recent incident involving myself and a 15 year old boy has made me realise I'm not superman anymore .The link doesn't involve my incident but a useful tool to help people take stock of what's happening around them ,often unnoticed.
Its often not the crime itself but the fear that it may happen is just as important .
