6 September 2024 21:01385645From the Telegraph:- The Home Office has rejected a freedom of information request into the costs of furnishing flats in Farnborough for asylum seekers on the grounds that revealing the details might affect their “mental health” and put their “health and safety at risk”."We are living in very strange times, and they are likely to get a lot stranger before we bottom out"

7 September 2024 07:41385648As I understand it a coroner's job is to give cause of death so a death certificate can be issued.
In the above case he obviously knew the reason so no need for an inquest and hopefully the man will end up in prison.TheThinWhiteDuke likes this-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

7 September 2024 11:23385652However the coroner dealing with the Reading stabbings was quite happy to go into the failings of the authorities?
I suspect the coroner in the latest case was 'leant on' as after all we don't want to add fuel to the fire for the far-right do we?

It's called professionalism."We are living in very strange times, and they are likely to get a lot stranger before we bottom out"

Call them "Access to Services" cards or something like that, and they'll fly off the shelves. Instead we do this stupid thing with utility bills.

9 September 2024 16:30385678From 'Wir schaffen das' to 'auf wiedersehen Shengen'.
Nancy Faeser of the struggling Social Democrat party (SPD) has finally accepted that Germany has no choice but to enforce proper border controls if it has any hope of coping with the staggering amount of unauthorised entries.
Germany notifies the EU it will bring in controls on ALL land borders due to 'continuing burden' of migration and 'Islamist terrorism'.

9 September 2024 22:09385679Good luck with that then! I mean, we struggle with our sea border so just think how hard it is with a land border to deny entry to people determined to gain it.(Not my real name.) - Captain Haddock
