Me "have you had your contracts checked by a solicitor?"

No, Reform really is a rescue charity for every panicky Tory MP.

Did you know in 2022 Andrew Rosindell Tory MP who just joined Reform was arrested by Met on suspicion of indecent assault, sexual assault, & rape for events occurring between 2002 -2009
2024 Met dropped it lacking enough evidence for threshold to prosecute
Which makes him perfect for Reform❗️🥴

Apparently the 2t one is better on grass, but this is for brambles in woodland.
An initial test says it's very effective, so I've sharpened it up and checked it's balanced. Away we go...

All it takes is a clerk with bad intentions, or a local cabal and you'll find out a number of things:
The police know nothing about the laws of the land, or the punishments available for breaking them

Day out in London, including a chunk of walking around Kensington. Not been for a few years. The streets are noticeably quieter and less smoky.
We saw very few diesel cabs. Virtually everything being used as a taxi is now electric. I guess that's a thing that just works.

I know the far right keeps basically demanding 'civil war' in the UK, but this looks a lot closer to that, in the USA...
I was just denied access to the ICE processing center at the Whipple Building.
Members of Congress have a legal right and constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight where people are being detained.
The public deserves to know what is taking place in ICE facilities.
