Five killed ‘by lone gunman’ in shootings around Dunkirk migrant camp

A 22-year-old French national has admitted killing migrants and security guards with whom he had previously worked

At least five men, including two security guards, have been shot dead around a migrant camp in northern France.

The bloodbath unfolded near the beach at Loon Plage, close to Dunkirk, from where small boats regularly set off to Britain.

Special forces police were called to the camp on the Mardyck Road soon after 4pm on Saturday after reports of “a lone gunman killing people”, said an investigating source.

Update – According to Fdesouche this was a business related affair and not a “Racist Attack”

Loon Plage (59): a business manager, two security guards and two migrants shot dead. The suspect Paul D., says he shot former colleagues; the racist theory is not currently being favored

The private police patrolling London

The middle classes have lost faith in the Met

One golden autumn afternoon, in a quiet North London suburb, I stumbled across a portal to a possible English future. Hadley Wood sits on the fringes of the city, between Barnet and the M25, seemingly forgotten in its own little world of metroland Tudor houses, dotted with fields of ponies and commemorative plaques to steam age pioneers. Yet between the wisteria and the Jags, there is a sense of unease.

Roving bands of career burglars stalk the area. “They come every day whether you’re inside or not,” explains one local man from behind his wheelie bin. “They don’t seem to care.” Everything is up for grabs, the man tells me, from Amazon packages in doorways to the Lexus in the drive.

Canadian Man Dies of Aneurysm After Giving Up on Hospital Wait

A Canadian man died the day after he gave up on a lengthy hospital wait last week, sparking debate about Canada’s universal healthcare as debate rages in the U.S. over the state of the American for-profit system.

Adam Burgoyne, a 39-year-old resident of Montreal, Quebec, died on December 6 after suffering an aneurysm, according to an online obituary.

Let it never be said that Canada went unnoticed on the world stage during Trudeau’s reign.

Mayor says 1st responders are told to call bomb squad, wear hazmat suits if drone is discovered

A New Jersey mayor told Fox News host Harris Faulkner Friday that first responders were told to contact the bomb squad and wear hazmat suits if they encountered one of the mysterious drones.

The drones have appeared over the sky of New Jersey, in some cases flying in formation, in recent weeks, according to video footage obtained by the Daily Caller. Belleville Mayor Michael Melham told Faulkner he had just received a phone call from his emergency management team before coming to the studio, having received guidance from the state.

“That guidance does say two different things,” Melham told Faulkner. “First of all, if there is a downed drone in our vicinity, we’re immediately to call the bomb squad of our county and second, our fire department has been instructed to make sure they wear hazmat suits.”

Reid Claims Trump Is ‘In The Same Category’ As Hitler, Stalin, Khomeini, Putin

As President-elect Donald Trump celebrated being named Time magazine’s person of the year for 2024, MSNBC’s Joy Reid tried to throw cold water on the occasion by pointing out that not everyone who has won the award historically has done so because they made the world a better place. The ReidOut host claimed “we all know” which side Trump is on, and it is the one with “Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Ayatollah Khomeini, and Vladimir Putin.”

Vicar’s Santa sermon ‘ruins Christmas’ for sobbing school pupils

When teachers at a primary school in Hampshire invited the local vicar to give a talk about the birth of Jesus, they did not expect it to end with irate parents, sobbing children and a “ruined” Christmas.

Parents have complained after the Rev Dr Paul Chamberlain took the opportunity to speak about other elements of Christmas to a group of ten and eleven-year-olds.

Pupils at Lee-on-the-Solent Junior School began to sob as he told them that Father Christmas was not real, and added that their parents bought their presents and ate the biscuits left out for Santa.

Every year, every year!

Playboy smirks in court as he and ‘gang rapist’ twin brother are freed

A disgraced former superstar realtor smirked in court as he and his twin brother were freed after pleading not guilty to a slew of gang rapes.

Oren Alexander, 37, was snapped smiling in court Miami Friday as he and his identical sibling Alon were allowed to go free.

Less than 24 hours earlier, Judge Mindy Glazer ordered the pair held in jail over fears they’d use their access to private jets and yachts to evade justice.

Rich people rapists is a thing it seems.

MI5 investigates Prince Andrew’s cash from China

Chinese money given to the Duke of York is being investigated by the security services, The Telegraph can disclose.

Prince Andrew’s business venture is understood to have received money from Chinese donors with links to an alleged Communist party spy.

The disclosure comes after it emerged on Thursday that the alleged spy, described as a “close confidant” of the Duke in court documents, had been banned from the UK on national security grounds.

They gotta dump this clown.

Toronto police skipped ‘Homicide 101’ and never sought alibis from family and friends of murdered billionaires Barry and Honey Sherman

Toronto police homicide detectives failed to ask most of the people connected to Barry and Honey Sherman where they were at the time of the billionaire couple’s high-profile murders, documents unsealed by a court reveal. Seeking alibis is a crucial part of a murder investigation — it’s not fiction that it’s one of the first questions a detective on television or in a murder mystery asks of anyone close to the victim: Where were you when they were killed?

But in the days following the discovery of the Sherman bodies, police didn’t ask that question of family members, nor most business associates and others connected to the couple. Investigative sources say the lack of alibis is likely why Toronto homicide detectives have been unable to clear any of the many “persons of interest” suspected of having a hand in the killings.

This stinks so bad.

Former stripper, murder convict Crystal Mangum confesses to lying about being raped by Duke lacrosse players in 2006

Former stripper and current murder convict Crystal Mangum confessed to lying about being raped by Duke Lacrosse players in an interview on the independent media outlet “Let’s Talk With Kat” on Thursday.

“I testified falsely against them by saying that they raped me when they didn’t and that was wrong, and I betrayed the trust of a lot of other people who believed in me,” Mangum said. “[I] made up a story that wasn’t true because I wanted validation from people and not from God.”

Kathy defiantly wore her Duke Lacrosse t-shirt. Still have it.
