EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW BY JACK GAUGHAN: Edgeley will begin to flutter with crosses of St George. Along Castle Street, where the area's angling shop sits, a few flags are starting to sprout. Down the way, decorations at the Oak, the Robert Peel and the Albert nod to the patriotism of this little part of Stockport. The surrounding roads, rows and rows of terraced houses, will become decked out, one by one. By the time Serbia vs England comes around on June 16, the town will, as Phil Foden says, resemble a carnival. It's all bringing him back to 2010. The first major tournament he remembers, meticulously filling out a wall chart in his bedroom, a half-a-minute walk from the high street. Frank Lampard, the goal that wasn't, Germany and South Africa - a fairly drab World Cup - are his first memories as an England supporter. You imagine Foden was down the street, on its pedestrianised precinct, banging balls about, ducking and diving between shoppers.

Francis Drake (left) played a major role in preventing the country being conquered by the Spanish in the 16th Century, and was the first Englishman to circumnavigate the globe in one trip. A favourite of Elizabeth I, he claimed California for England in 1579. However, artworks featuring the renowned sailor and commander have now been added to a controversial list of connections to slavery. The move emerged in the latest update to a review of the Parliamentary collection, launched around four years ago in response to the Black Lives Matter movement. The cross-party committee that oversees art at Westminster says it is wrong to 'venerate people who have supported and committed acts of atrocity'. Bottom right, Robert Peel is also on the list.

They begin at dawn. A trickle at first, queuing patiently in the early morning gloom, wrapped up warm against the bitter Midlands chill. As the thin winter sun struggles to break through the clouds of grey as slate, the trickle turns to a deluge and the line continues to expand, snaking back from the shuttered beige food truck emblazoned with 'JACKET SPUDS' through Tamworth's St Editha's Square and back, deep into the shopping precinct. It's two hours before the wagon opens for business at 10 a.m., when the wagon opens for business. These potato pilgrims hail from every corner of the world, as far afield as Australia. And they're all here to see one man - Ben Newman, right, better known to his 2.3 million TikTok followers as Spudman. 'It's like this every day,' Ben, who is notably bedecked and sporting his new trademark pink Mohican.' 'It's just crazy.'

MAIL ON SUNDAY'S COMMENT: What is the police for if they can't guarantee public safety?

The result of police making it clear that they are not concerned about arresting those who raid the shelves is that the nation is in the middle of an escalating shoplifting crisis. The figures are mind-blowing. Last year, there were ten million shop robbery, the equivalent of one every two seconds. Since 2016, this has doubled. Despite the fact that there were only 21,000 cases and some lenient sentencing, the criminals can continue with impunity.
MAIL ON SUNDAY COMMENT: The best way to curb immigration?Give OUR workers a chance

May 28, 2023
MAIL ON SUNDAY: If your political rivals have a good idea and you like it, take it. Benjamin Disraeli, the great 19th Century Tory king, humbly, joked that Robert Peel had caught his Whig friends bathing and had walked away with their clothing. Politicians who follow this rule rarely suffer, and victims are unlikely to complain much. You'll do a better job at it than they would have, and no one will be chastised for going after an idea that they have been lauded for. This obviously will not work if there is such a deep ideological difference. However, it is certainly the case with Labour's resurgent support for migrant integration: we're now equipped to accept our own doctors, nurses, and other skilled workers, so we don't have to import them.

When the King and Queen Consort attended a reception with senior politicians this afternoon, the 17th Century Speaker's State Coach was in Westminster Hall. In a volatile roll-call of Parliamentary artworks, it was previously described as "depicting slaves" because it featured carvings that were thought to be Roman slaves. The report by a cross-party commission has been described as a "waste of time and taxpayer funds," according to Tories, who claim that it has been misguided to'sit in judgement' on the past.

A women's rights advocate has chastised Kent Police for classifying serious sexual harassment as a non-emergency offence. After a poster (pictured right) in Kent Police's station window in Maidstone revealed that rape and sexual assault were 'non-emergency' crimes, internet users were furious. The black-and-white A4 printout warned passers-by how 'non-emergency alerts' can be shared with the police force via an online portal, as well as anti-social behaviour, fraud, and road traffic incidents. Dr Charlotte Proudman (left), an award-winning barrister and a women's rights campaigner, said it's 'no wonder' that people believe 'rape has been decriminalized,' and that people no longer trust the police force.

Louise Casey says, 'I completely accept the diagnosis that Louise Casey provides.' In the organization, we have racials, misogynists, and homophobes. And remember, it's not limited to people. We have systemic flaws, leadership inequity, and cultural ineffectiveness,' He said the reason he does not use the term 'institutional' is because he believes it is 'a very ambiguous' term. Everyone uses different terms,' he said, adding that there are 'toxic people' in the Met who are undergoing removal.'

According to a shock report, Scotland Yard is "broken" and its 'rotten' ranks are riven with bigotry, misogyny, and homophobia. The Met cannot be trusted to police itself, and it could have many more predatory cops like Sarah Everard's killer Wayne Couzens (bottom left) and serial rapist David Carrick (top), which eventually comes to an end. The organization is described as institutionally racist and ineffective as well as misogynistic and homophobic in the most damning study in its nearly 200-year history. Baroness Casey, a writer who spent a year investigating the Yard's history and practices, found a 'rot' at its root that allowed race to flourish unchallenged and predatory conduct to 'flourish'. "It is clear that there have been serious culture and leadership flaws," Home Secretary Suella Braverman said.
The art study by Parliament compares hero of Napoleonic times to slavery

March 12, 2023
EXCLUSIVE: Lieutenant General Sir John Moore, nicknamed the 'Hero of Corunna' in the 19th century, is among the new additions to the abhorrent trade. He appears to have been included in the roll call because he defeated the French on St Lucia after the island had freed slaves to help support their army. The 1st Viscount Cardwell has also been included. He is credited with the creation of the modern army by insisting that promotions were earned rather than purchased, as well as improving soldiers' living conditions by banning flogging. The study has also included an example that "depicts ships" with the note, 'The Slave Trade in East Africa.' In fact, the photograph depicts British and German ships blockading Zanzibar in 1889, as part of the attempts to avoid the slave trade. The process was branded 'nonsense,' by Tories, who said that it had been misguided to'sit in judgment' on the previous.

The Speaker's State Coach (main), an ornate golden cab that was used at Queen Elizabeth II's coronation (inset), was allegedly related to the slave trade. It features a carving of a slave from Roman times, which was enough to make the carriage stand out for 'depicting enslaved people'. The cross-party Parliament Advisory Committee on Works of Art is now investigating whether the collection's name or way it is displayed should be changed. However, Tories have voiced their displeasure with the 'ludicrous' scheme, arguing that slavery could be linked to virtually every facet of Western society.

The United Kingdom is facing its worst economic crisis in decades, and there is a chance that the war in Ukraine could devolve into a global war (missiles launched in Donetsk, bottom right). Meanwhile, China, a world leader in slavery and oppression, makes sinister strides in the world and tightens its grip on British industry, nuclear power stations, and (via lucrative sponsorship agreements) universities (hospitals in Beijing top right). However, the Speaker of the House of Commons (centre) has nevertheless agreed that the Parliamentary Committee on Works of Art should continue to spend its time and taxpayer money on 'updating' its art collection.

Ex-PM Robert Peel (left), who was regarded as the father of the modern police service, was a vocal critic of slavery and his family were not owners. But he has been tagged because his father earned money from cotton-spinning. Edmund Burke (bottom right) and William Gladstone (centre bottom) are also on the list. In the first 18 months of the investigation, 343 items were identified as featuring people related to slavery or representations of it. Speaker's State Coach (top right) is one of them, and it is said to have "depict enslaved people." The cross-party Advisory Committee on Works of Art is now considering whether the collection's name or way it is displayed should be changed. Tories, on the other hand, have expressed their displeasure with the 'ludicrous' scheme, arguing that slavery could be linked to virtually every component of a Western society.

A.N. a. We have lost a beloved Queen, but we haven't lost the monarchy. And this is no accident. It is in good shape thanks to her careful custodianship, as well as those of her predecessors and our older statesmen and women, but we can't take anything for granted. The majority of people in the United Kingdom support the monarchy's idea. Throughout Queen Elizabeth's reign, there have been those who have said: 'This outmoded institution will last Queen Elizabeth's time.' If she dies, we'll talk about it again, and many of us will say that Britain should be like the other world's most adamant countries and become a republic.' They will now be gathering their forces and marshalling their arguments following the Queen's death. We'll all know that growing up is essential. After all, the United States has been a prosperous republic for almost two decades. They are all nations that have been modern enough, mature enough, to have a head of state who has voted for themselves.
Cops should stop being awakened, and detectives should avoid being wokened,' according to the report

August 30, 2022
The Policy Exchange think tank's research has urged Britain's next Prime Minister to introduce a series of radical measures to shield citizens from a surge of violent crime and chaos and restore public confidence in policing. According to the paper, 'What do we want from the next Prime Minister? includes a'return to basics' and'more focusing on combating crime,''no more taking the knee, and other actions that may include a crackdown on road-blocking eco-zealots and left-wing statue vandals, as well as a call to recruit 'hacker cops' to combat a surge in fraud and online sexual harassment. David Spencer, a former Metropolitan Police officer and the head of the Policy Exchange's Crime and Justice Department, also recommends that the College of Policing be deregistered so that local people can report a variety of crimes from violent assault to street-drinking and aggressive begging. Critics have accused many of Britain's police forces of "going forward," whether by officers 'taking the knee' as they did during the Extinction Rebellion and one of its offshoot groups, Just Stop Oil, or adopting the Pride colors. Lincolnshire Police came under fire for dancing the Macarena at a Pride event in Lincoln and then posting footage of officers doing the routine from the force's official Twitter account just earlier this month.
