First a little background. On December 4th UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was gunned down in the early hours on a Manhattan street by Luigi Mangione. Mangione then fled and was arrested in a McDonalds restaurant five days later in Pennsylvania.

As with most high-profile cases this prompted intense interest in the suspect, it wasn’t long before Mangione was dubbed the ‘hot assassin’ by ghoulish social media mongs, desperate needy women and even more desperate and needy fruity men. This sick adulation was based purely on his appearance, as it began to overshadow the seriousness of his crime.

The fawning over criminals is nothing new of course just the medium in which it is expressed that has changed. Ted Bundy was charming and charismatic during his televised trial until his date with Old Sparky. Serial killer Richard Ramirez aka the Night Stalker exercised a cult like grip over women with regular groupies at his trial and eventually marrying one in prison.

I suppose its inevitable that the US healthcare system will be put on trial as some kind of justification for the murder, Brian Thompson the evil corporate bigwig profiteering off the misery of desperate and poor Americans and Luigi Mangione their avenging poster boy. The question has to be asked if Luigi Mangione had looked like a constipated John Prescott or if the victim had been a prominent doctor sterilising trans kids would there have been the same outpouring deluded fandom?

At the end of it all, Brian Thompson a father of two and a husband is still dead and that should be the real story.

Just watching the UK Championship. The dozy bird refereeing, Tatiana Woollaston, has just tried to replace the potted pink on its partially covered spot before Judd Trump told her that the green spot is completely (and very obviously) available!
Jesus wept.
Trump should’ve told her, “a male referee wouldn’t have make such an error. Go and put the kettle on ready for the end of the frame, love. I’ll have two sugars in my tea.”
Then treated her arse to a playful slap as she walked off.

is a cunt.

The government has stated that they want critical thinking to be taught in schools.
Their given reason is all the malicious content on social meeja. They want the children to have the ability to see such things as logical fallacies etc so as not to fall victim to some bollocks pushed by a spotty fuck wit or the Russian, Chinese military. I have identified a big problem, lgbtdfsery fuckwittery is obviously going to come under scrutiny by the kids hopefully they will use their new skills to ascertain women don’t have dicks as a starter. I do get the impression that some civil servant has fucked up on this one. Looking forward to the outcome with double helping of relish.

A Nigerian student who came to the UK to complete her studies in Marketing with a PhD. She arrived late 2022 on a student visa, with husband and child as dependents.
( A buy one, get two free offer, presumably)

She was lured here after allegedly being promised funding for her fees and paid work at Newcastle University, none of which materialised.
Somehow, she managed to raise the first year’s fees of £13+k, was given subsidised accommodation, but failed
to register for her second year.

Sometime at the end of 2023, she was diagnosed with stage 5 kidney failure.
Wow, that got bad really fast, didn’t it?

Now, because she had failed to adhere to the terms of her Visa, Mrs. Agazie was informed by the University that they would have to report her to the Home Office.
In May the HO informed her that she must leave by June.

She immediately lodges a complaint against the University ( which of course puts the deportation on hold)
on the grounds that the stress and anxiety of being unable to pay her debts, when she was promised grants and a job, made it impossible for her to continue her studies.

So, nowt to do with the kidney disease, then.

She’s been refunded the £13+k fees, had her rent arrears wiped and awarded £5k for hurty feelings or summat. Is she fucking off home, with her plus two?

Oh no, of course not. She’s applying to remain on medical grounds, as she can’t afford the high quality treatment she needs, in Nigeria.
The high quality treatment she’s getting free, here. That includes a place on the transplant list. And a school place for her six year old.

Don’t you just love being a taxpayer?
