My beautiful mummy died from pancreatic cancer in 2011, just under three weeks after her 54th birthday. My twin and I was 22. She was diagnosed a couple of weeks before our 21st - she survived for 17 months. My mum was a primary school teacher - she stopped work in the June after we found out...

I have happened to have listened to some talks and training on county lines and gangs last year, from somebody who is an 'ex-gang member' and now works to help young people leave gangs and rebuild lives. One of the things learned is that one tactic some gangs will use is to wait around near...

Referring to himself as a trapper boy...the moped...the posing with cash. It certainly comes very much across as having all the indicators of county lines. County lines seems to be more and more of an issue recently, there's certainly more known about it. Horrendous. It really sounds like his...

I know it may well just be the wording of the articles (I mean, this is The Sun and the Daily Fail), but...the mental image of a cyclist just casually riding off with their alleged 4ft and 2ft drones, wearing a hi-vis jacket...and then thinking 'Nah, won't let the police know. To the Daily...

I wonder if that was potentially a factor in why they were not happy to shoot the drone now (initially). The risk of chemicals whilst they didn't (don't) know who the offender is. The likelihood they seem to be veering towards is that it is related to environmental activism. It shows some...

I can't see any mention of it on here, but link below: No end in sight to Gatwick disruption What is known so far: Gatwick Airport (our second busiest airport, after Heathrow) has been closed for around 28 hours so far as a result of drone sightings continuing across the airfield. Flights have...

Quite. Vile 'news' paper.

The words of West Mids Police Chief Constable Dave Thompson: 'A dreadful crime. Despite the efforts of officers we could not save Mylee. I am proud we gave her justice. Billingham has no right to call himself her father.' Those who attended will never forget over what they faced that night...

Massively misleading story from Daily Mail and Sky, but what can we expect from them... There are multiple cells being used (though the cell doors will not actually be locked, the main entrance is). They are doing another after Christmas, I am doing that one with a number of 999 supporters and...

Quite frankly one of the best (by which I mean worst) accounts I have ever heard by the two suspects in that interview. :D Where to start... 1) They went to Salisbury. The Novichok poisonings happened in Salisbury, just while they happened to be visiting. They stayed in a hotel in London...

It was about 3pm here I think - in the UK. I was 12, so in Year 8 and at school. It was the first I remember ever hearing about terrorism. The first thing I knew about it was when my mum got home from school - she was a primary school teacher - earlier than usual (she usually stayed until...

It is terrorism, absolutely. I guess the main answer is that it is either not 'our' country (for those of us living in England - obviously living in England an attack in England hits home; for me, being in an area I know well and was often walking through at that time in the morning, makes it...

Thank you. We may not be a big country, we may all have got sadly used to many more horrific incidents happening on an almost daily basis, and fortunately in this case, there were no serious injuries and the attack was prevented from becoming an awful lot worse. But some of us still know and...

Interestingly, some suggestion from some areas that the silver transit van in the footage originally behind the car may have been an unmarked police vehicle, or seems to be following the car. It certainly does seem to attempt to get through the traffic towards the car, and possibly flashing...

News reports seem to be saying he is from Birmingham, so about 120-130 miles give or take. They put up a lot more security barriers since the attack last year. By the looks of it that prevented this situation being an awful lot worse. I was in Westminster today - it is the city I used to work...
