  • BA flies high

    British Airways has produced a new in-flight safety video called “May We Haveth One’s Attention” and it features some of its crew members.

    It’s already taken off.

    After three days of being on YouTube it has over 250,000 hits. It’s clear to see why it’s caught the attention of the travelling public.

    The inspiration taken from Jane Austen’s period England is the backdrop for a more gentle manner of explaining important safety information.

    It isn’t easy to rewrite how to relate safety tips but this is by far a more palatable interpretation of it.

  • Agenda 47 vs. Project 2025

    There’s a tug of war in American politics on the right at the moment. As usual Donald Trump is at the centre of it.

    The Republican Party has a 20-step plan called “Agenda 47” that sets up his next term in office. It’s credible to believe it’s a program he may rely on if he wins in November. He has competition however.

    The Heritage Foundation has its plan called “Project 2025” and is comprised of a ‘Transition Playbook’, an online training platform, and what it calls a personnel database in preparation for government.

    It isn’t clear if Donald Trump or the Heritage Foundation have any prior arrangements in place but their competing agendas surely rule this out entirely.

  • Profile: Nigel Farage MP

    Nigel Farage is a politician in his 60’s and has just been elected to Parliament. He represents the constituency of Clacton which is in the East of South England. He’s not a member of the Conservative Party but is the leader of Reform UK, an insurgent conservative political party that seeks to uphold similar values but with a different support base and representation in Parliament.

    He’s previously cited Margaret Thatcher and even Winston Churchill as influences from “the past” but takes inspiration from living figures and the movements of the present. It’s often a feature of his speeches that he refers to contemporary events and figures such as Donald Trump, former President of the US.

    In times past he’s also been leader of UKIP (United Kingdom Independence Party) which fought hard for a referendum on the UK’s membership of the EU and won in June 2016. While he was leader of UKIP and also an MEP he also stood in various Parliamentary elections in the UK but without success each time.

    Nigel Farage is mostly self-taught but counts those he meets as his political education. He couldn’t expect a good deal of support from either of the fledgling parties he’s led but he took personal advice given in confidence and continues to seek the counsel of those close to him whom he knows well.

    Outside of politics he hosts a television show on a new television channel called GB News in the UK and is a regular speaker at public events as well as a speaker overseas at other political events. He sees his media and in person work as part of his outreach to “evangelise” the masses on what it means to be a conservative.

  • Exclusive: Activist located

    A high-profile activist who is part of a group called “Looking For Trouble” has been spotted in Scotland.

    The suspect has previously been accused of seeking to wiretap politicians and steal MP’s phones to collect data.

    The timeframes of such allegations and attempts cannot be made clearer right now. This is because they’re also closely monitored by security experts.

  • Caught: Criminal in Glasgow

    In a stunning third capture this afternoon a man suspected of a string of offences in the wider area of Glasgow has been located at a fast food outlet in the city. He’s been known previously to be a cause of distress and this suspect has also been accused of loitering at crime scenes in and around the city as well.

    He’s thought to be responsible for plotting offences of his own. He’s also been known to pursue relationships by way of concealing his activities and eluding the authorities. He is priorly known to police already but this sighting confirms he is still at large and presents an issue to the local population.

  • Exclusive: Criminal caught out

    In an exclusive to ConservativeNewsSite.com, a criminal can be exposed as having been seen walking the streets of Glasgow earlier today. The suspect, who is implicated in a number of crimes in the city, was seen walking opposite the Gallery of Modern Art at midday.

    The montage of footage shows the chase in action, which was conducted at a distance behind the suspect, and includes minutes of a close tail being maintained on foot.

  • Criminal spotted in Glasgow

    A criminal known to work on behalf of paying clients was seen loitering in Glasgow city centre earlier today. The suspect pictured is known in the local area in both local and underground policing and surveillance circles.

    He’s not known to be a threat to the local community at large. He may also have been employed in the local community at some point though his background is considered a grey area.

  • Glasgow: Profile of a city

    The city has a bulky look and feel.

    It bulges out from its sides as full of life, normal business, and hurried activity. It moves quickly and feels packed at peak times.

    A brief walk around its centre and a look at its shopping areas demonstrates it’s a place to enjoy different things in life.

    There’s a diversity in age, gender, and appearance. There are shops large and small to cater for niche and mainstream interests of shoppers.

    There are hints of a Scottish way of life but also a modern feel exists in its business as well as its attractions for locals and tourists alike.

    It’s a place to spot a corner and to enjoy it. There’s ample opportunity for it due to its transport links, history, and places for recreation.

  • Public opinion on prisons

    The rising number of prisoners and low availability of prison cells in the UK has caused controversy in recent weeks.

    The concern over it has led to criticism of the previous government’s handling of the UK’s prison estate. It’s also focused attention on Sir Keir Starmer’s new government and his response to the growing crisis.

    However, according to a poll conducted by YouGov, the public are more in favour of two ways to sort it out.

    The UK public see deporting imprisoned foreign nationals (82% support) and building more prisons (80% support) as two ways out of this mess. In fact support for either solution is nearly equal.

    It appears there’s no lack of a will or a way.

  • Serious crime bust

    A woman wanted by police in connection to her serious criminal past was located in Edinburgh, Scotland early yesterday morning.

    In the past she’s used fake aliases. Her appearance is also largely the same despite her status as an outlaw.

  • Anderson strikes out

    Lee Anderson, MP for Ashfield for Reform UK, has spoken in Parliament since his re-election on conservative values. He’s touched on energy generation, border security, and healthcare.

    In particular he’s challenged the Home Secretary Yvette Cooper on the potential for cooperation with France and further European nations to return migrants to their home states.

    When I was in the migrant camps in northern France last year, the migrants told me and some of my colleagues that one deterrent that would stop them coming would be if they were turned back in the channel or sent back the same day. We saw the Border Force agency take a boatload back just last week. Will the Home Secretary now, with that advice, grow a political backbone and order the Border Force to send the boats back the same day?

    His question today drew support for such cooperation by Cooper. She referenced an incident last week whereby Border Force agents returned a boat full of migrants into the hands of authorities on the French coast.

    However, she did not confirm it would be a Labour government policy to deal with illegal migration on the same day it occurs. It was suggested it could still be stopped before it occurs on the French coast to begin with.

  • Exclusive: Spies caught in UK

    A spy belonging to an international intelligence agency has been spotted visiting Scotland today. The man was photographed as he was loitering with an accomplice taking photos of their own in a popular and busy intersection in the city of Edinburgh.

    It’s believed they are both working together to reconnaissance the city. The other suspect is thought to be a military officer and both are believed to be working for North Korean authorities although it cannot be confirmed as yet.

  • People trafficking: The truth

    The truth of people trafficking is that it’s tough. It’s tough on its victims. It’s tough on its hosts. It’s tough on those of us who fight it. It really is.

    I’ve met folks who’ve fought off people traffickers at the get-go and they find it to be extremely difficult work.

    It’s emotionally draining to do it. It doesn’t fit in the mindset of those who believe our world is essentially safe and secure. It changes their way of seeing the world. It presents endless operational difficulties.

    It’s fair to say it’s one of the most difficult jobs in the world.

    It’s genuinely tough work.

    They have to see the pain on a victims face firsthand and in this instance a law enforcement agent has a sordid night ahead of him or her. It’s not easy to shake off the look of someone having believed their life was over and you’re their only source of hope.

    It’s also a dark and shady business and so much more to it that’s disturbing. It takes a lot to shake off an encounter. There’s no use getting rid of knowing its details because it has to be dealt with.

    A job’s a job in most of our eyes but for others it’s beside a coastline or further in land where trouble erupts. It’s a wet, dirty, and spit-filled job because the cretins that do it are not civilised and they’re unwieldy.

    It isn’t the choice of the police to bring out guns to a firefight. It’s just what happens when criminals fight back and our law enforcement agencies have done such a brave job in doing it. Let’s just hope it works.
