A man came home from work one day to find his wife sitting on the front porch with her bags packed. He asked her where she was going. She replied: “I’m going to Las Vegas”. He questioned her as to why. “I just found out that I can make £500 a night doing what I give you for free”. He pondered that then went into the house and packed his bags and returned to the porch. “And just where do you think you’re going?” “I’m going with you!” he replied. “Why?” she asked. “I want to see how you are going to live on £1,000 a year!”

An electrical engineering exam. The professor screws the student. - All right, last question for 3: How many light bulbs are there in the classroom? The student looks up, counts: - Eight! - Wrong, I have one with me, in my pocket. See you at the retake. Retake. The professor knocks out the same student again. - Last question for 3: How many light bulbs are there in the classroom? - Nine! - Wrong, I didn't get a light bulb today! - But I did!

Three men - aged 25, 35 and 45 - had applied to work for the FBI. They'd all passed the previous tests, and now it was time for the final test. All three men were sitting in a hallway with their wives, waiting to be invited into the test room. It wasn't long until the 25-year-old man was invited in. An FBI agent instructed the man to sit down, gave him a gun and said to him: "Go shoot your wife." The man immediately stood back up, practically screaming: "Absolutely not! I love my wife - besides, she's pregnant with our first child! I don't want this job so badly as to kill her for it!" And he stormed out of the room. Then, the 35-year-old man was invited in. He too was instructed by the agent to go shoot his wife. The man, sitting at the table, looked at the gun with a contemplative face for a moment, but ultimately lifted his head and said: "I'm sorry, I can't. I love her too much to be able to kill her for this job." And so, the man walked out of the room. Finally, it was the 45-year-old man's turn. The agent put the gun on the table in front of the man and said: "Go shoot your wife." With an eagerness he hadn't felt in ages, the man immediately grabbed the gun and walked out to the hallway, closing the door behind him. A few minutes passed, during which a horrible racket could be heard from the hallway, and the 45-year old man returned with blood all over his clothes. Upon his return, the FBI agent asked the man: "What the hell took you so long? And why are you covered in blood?" The 45-year-old man answered: "Yeah, sorry. Had to beat her to death with a chair because some asshole put a blank into the gun."

The Duke of Westminster's inheritance of the multibillion-pound Grosvenor estate, often reported around £9-£10 billion, was largely exempt from the standard 40% UK inheritance tax due to the use of complex, long-established trust structures. These trusts hold the assets, meaning they do not pass directly to the heir and therefore avoid immediate, massive death duties. Key details regarding this inheritance: Trust Structure: The estate is managed by trustees, separating legal ownership from the family, which keeps the assets outside individual, taxable estates upon death. Periodic Charges: While avoiding the 40% inheritance tax, such trusts are subject to a 6% "periodic charge" every 10 years, which acts as a form of tax, though it is significantly lower than standard inheritance tax. Estate Protection: These structures are designed to maintain the integrity of large, historical landholdings and businesses across generations rather than to specifically evade taxes. Legal Position: The use of trusts in this manner is legal, and the Grosvenor estate is considered one of the highest taxpayers in the UK through income tax, corporate tax, and other levies, despite avoiding inheritance tax

like my old long departed grandfather used to say,, "it doesn't matter who you vote for,,, the government always wins" the whole political system is nothing more than a very bad joke,,,,, on us! if they strongly believed in reforms policies and aims,, then why were they with an opposing party in the first instance, nothing but a bunch of self serving leeches with a handful of party flags, that change with whatever keeps them firmly in the trough.

For clarity I never said the last bit,[highlighted in red ] you added that to further your blatant vendetta against Johnsond. for some reason this seems to bother you more than the plight of the victims. your constant skewing of statistics to discredit him are obvious as they are pathetic, the percentage of white people in the uk is substantially more than non whites, but the number of rapists in the smaller group is percentage wise greater. if the two groups were equal in number the true facts would be impossible to conceal by skewing numbers and statistics. this country is heading for the bottom in every respect,some people can't or simply refuse to admit it, and prefer to refute what more and more people are realising. please don't misquote me in future to further you personal grudges against Johnsond or anyone else.

The colour or ethnicity of the rapists should have no bearing on the crime, or for that matter the unfortunate victim, more emphasis should be directed at eliminating the actual problem not the ratios of skin colour and who posted it on here or elsewhere. I stand by my previous comments about the punishment of convicted rapists, for the crime, no other reason. feck it, give me the legal authority and I'll hang the cnuts all day long.

that was my point. and those that vilify those that point it out are more concerned about colour and ethnicity than the plight of the victims.

..

As I have said previously, the offence of rape should have a penalty of death upon a conviction, irrespective of the skin colour or ethnicity of those found guilty, the judicial system currently is running scared trying to avoid criticism for being "racist" that should not be considered at all, manipulating figures to avoid such criticism detracts from the severity and frequency of the offence. those that choose to focus or object more to skin colour,ethnicity or any other demographic rather than the actual offence are part of the problem.

Based on available data from the UK government and police forces, figures on the ethnicity of rape perpetrators are not considered to be fully accurate or comprehensive. While some local data has highlighted disproportionality in specific areas, national-level data is generally flawed due to significant gaps in recording. Here is a breakdown of the accuracy and limitations regarding rape ethnicity data: Significant Data Gaps: Ethnicity is not recorded for a large proportion of offenders. A national audit (January 2026) found that the ethnicity of perpetrators is not recorded for roughly two-thirds of cases, meaning a complete, accurate national assessment is impossible. Issues with Recording: Data quality regarding ethnicity within police platforms is often unreliable, as noted in Freedom of Information disclosures. Records often rely on "police-defined" ethnicity rather than self-defined ethnicity, which can lead to inaccuracies. Underreporting and Hidden Context: Many sexual offences are never reported, and for those that are, convictions are low (less than 1% of reported rapes often lead to conviction, according to some analyses), meaning the data only represents a small fraction of total offences. Regional Differences: While national data is sparse, local police data has, at times, shown disproportionate numbers of men from certain ethnic backgrounds (specifically Asian backgrounds) among suspects in particular cases of group-based child sexual exploitation (CSE). The "Grooming Gang" Context: Reports on the ethnicity of people involved in child sexual exploitation have been criticized for potential bias, small sample sizes, and the fact that a large proportion of cases have unknown perpetrator ethnicity. Conclusion on Accuracy Data that claims to show precise ethnic breakdowns of all rape offenders in the UK is generally unreliable due to high volumes of missing data and inconsistent recording methods. The data often reflects reporting biases and policing focus rather than a complete picture of offender demographics

The way things are going, this country will be ruined from within long before any Russian intervention.
