Quick public service announcement from me. I am NOT a source of information. Zero. Zilch. Nada. Everything I post is just my personal opinion, my half-baked take, or me yelling at the clouds. I will almost certainly be wrong about something (probably multiple things). That’s basically guaranteed. I do this purely for fun, debate, and because I’m bored on the sofa (thanks to the injury). No grand plans, no podcast ambitions, no clout-chasing, no “building a brand.” Just debates and occasional regret in the replies. So argue with me, roast me, or laugh along — but please don’t quote me in an argument or as proof of facts like I’m some kind of authority. I’m basically just a person with opinions and Wi-Fi. Carry on! 😂❤️

"I am not a sexual predator." The skit writes itself.. 😂

I love my little village🫤

The Guardian and ITV News published their investigation into David Walliams; it makes grim reading. Allegations: • A woman says he contacted her at 15 and they were having sex by 17. She says she was groomed. • Another says he messaged her at 15 and tried it on at his house. He denies any sexual contact with her. • Young fans were left alone with him in his Britain's Got Talent dressing room. • At HarperCollins he had a sexual relationship with a junior staffer, and women were told not to go to his house alone. They heard from 30 people with first-hand accounts. Walliams denies it: "I am not a sexual predator. I have not broken the law." No ruling on whether any of it is true, but that's a lot of women saying the same thing. Investigation by @guardian and @itvnews

David Walliams has been named as the star who went to the High Court to stop sexual misconduct allegations being published. The Guardian and ITN say they have more than 30 first-hand sources. He denies the allegations, and the court made no ruling on whether they're true. The judge put press freedom first. 📰 @guardian theguardian.com/media/2026/n…

I mean it’s not really breaking news is it… Worst kept secret even with an injunction… news.sky.com/share/13610598

Schools across Birstall kept kids inside this morning after a reported threat, with police vans outside St Peter's. Local councillor @CllrSheard says police had reports about an adult male, and he's now been found and is in custody. He says the schools have assured him every child and staff member is safe. Well done to the staff and officers who moved fast. 📰 @YorkshireLive examinerlive.co.uk/news/west…

Asked if the Tories accept their part in the welfare bill, Helen Whately blames the pandemic and "sickfluencers". They were in charge for 14 years. They brought in PIP to save money and it ended up costing more. The best thing they could do is hold their hands up, admit they helped cause this, and tell us how they'll fix it. People would respect that a lot more. 🎥 @BBCBreakfast

A Met PC with 20 years in has been sacked for nosing through police systems to find out who'd been arrested over Sarah Everard. Couzens's custody record. His wife's. Sarah's crime report. Four other prisoners' files. No reason other than curiosity. Curiosity just ended a 20-year career. 📰 @BBCNews bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ckg5…

Around 650 more offenders walk free today after serving as little as a third of their sentence. That's the third wave since October. Some were locked up for wounding, GBH with intent, or firearms offences. The government still won't say how many of the 1,350 already released have been recalled. Greater Manchester's chief constable told LBC this morning that 22% of those released there in October are already back inside. In the West Midlands, police chiefs say 6 of 181 have been re-arrested, mostly for licence breaches and shoplifting, and that it's already hitting shop theft and theft from cars. 🎥 @BBCNews | 📻 @LBC bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c51k…

Dave’s final thought of the night is about the Henry Nowak review. As a serving officer, I personally policed calls involving allegations of racism. On those jobs I felt that if I did not treat the racism claim as true, I risked being labelled a racist myself and ending up under investigation or the subject of a complaint. This is the guidance from my old force. “The victim(s) or witness(es) does not have to justify or evidence their belief and it is important that their perception is not directly challenged by police officers or staff." That is the gap between the written guidance and how it feels on the ground: the fear of being accused of racism and put under investigation can shape how an officer acts at a scene, before the facts are clear. I am not saying that is what drove the Hampshire officers who attended Henry. I was not there, and no inquiry has found that yet. I am saying this pressure is real for officers, and it is a fair question for the IOPC and for Alex Chalk: did the officers at Henry's scene feel it, and did it affect how they treated him?

Sussex Police have arrested and bailed a 27-year-old Worthing man after two women reported being sexually assaulted at the town's Bonfire Night fireworks. Both said they were inappropriately touched over their clothing on the promenade between 5pm and 6.50pm on 5 November, when it was packed. A third woman was seen being assaulted. Police want her to get in touch. 📰 @BBCNews bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cxyv…

A Russian asylum seeker has won the right to stay in the UK after donating £22 in Bitcoin to a Ukrainian army fundraiser. He came here legally on a worker visa in 2022, then claimed asylum. The Home Office refused. Upper Tribunal Judge Leonie Hirst let him stay, ruling that among his anti-Putin activity, he "cannot be expected to lie" about that £22 donation if Russia asked. Twenty-two pounds. And Britain can't remove him. 📰 @Telegraph telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/11…

A man has been convicted over a drunken Facebook "joke" from 2024. Reform councillor Glenn Gibbins's post sat there for two years. Nothing happened until he got elected. Then: police, charge, trial, conviction. Jo Brand joked about throwing acid at Farage. Jimmy Carr joked about Gypsies in the Holocaust. Neither was prosecuted. Burglaries go unsolved, but there's always time for hurty words online. Condemn it, argue with it. Don't criminalise it. 📰 @BBCNews bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cxdd…

🚨 BREAKING: Man with a knife tackled trying to get into Manchester Crown Court Security staff restrained him at the Crown Square entrance just before 2pm today. GMP officers then arrested him on suspicion of possessing a bladed article. Witnesses say he was screaming during the struggle. The only injury reported is to his own hand. Huge credit to the court security team who stopped him at the door. That could have been so much worse. GMP: "The man was detained by security staff at the court and then arrested by officers on suspicion of possession of a bladed article." 📸 Via @MENnewsdesk manchestereveningnews.co.uk/…

🚨 BREAKING: Russell Brand has been jailed for 10 years and 6 months for rape and three sexual assaults. At Southwark Crown Court, Mr Justice Bennathan called him a "sexual predator" who told a "series of lies" and showed "staggering arrogance". His crimes against four women took place between 2004 and 2009. One victim told the court: "A leopard may change its spots, but it's still a leopard." Brand showed no reaction and mouthed "I love you" to his wife as he was taken down. 🎥 Sentencing remarks: BBC News: bbc.co.uk/news/live/c670ppzj…

Within hours of the Krakow massacre, Poland's interior minister said the gunman was "fascinated by far-right ideologies". Many outlets ran with it, some in their headlines. Today Poland's national prosecutor's office said it has no evidence linking him to any ideology. The motive is still unknown. @BBCNews @guardian @AP @itvnews @dwnews @NBCNews @anadoluagency: will you be updating or correcting your coverage? Six people were murdered. The victims and the public deserve facts, not early assumptions.
