I'm not so sure that the Waspi women have that strong a case - in that they are claiming that they weren't properly informed about the changes. It's more likely they are seeking some compo for having the misfortune of being born when they were and facing such a steep rise in pension age over such a short period of time. I'd be pretty angry too and cursing my bad luck if I were one of them, but i don't think I could pretend I didn't know it was about to happen when it did.
That's not the point though. The point is that leading figures in this governement - Starmer, Reeves and Rayner, all took photo opportunities to support the Waspi's when they were in opposition, and have all done U turns now that thay are in government, claiming 'it's not fair' to ask the tax payer to pay compo. Yet they think it fair that the tax payer should be paying huge amounts for housing illegals and asylum seekers plus foreign aid.
Women wanted equality in all areas with men but not the higher retirement age .........

The news reports would have you believe the car drive itself...
Looks like Deutschland is a little broken tonight too.
Horrific..😳😕
That car drove through the crowds at around 70 or 80 an hour by the looks of it. Footage of it on X.
I saw the video. If the death toll stays at 11 they will be lucky.
Wonder how many others are paralyzed for life?
Sky and BBC are saying 2 dead, including a small child.
Watching the video, if only 2 are dead, it'll be a miracle.
I read 11 at first, now it's down to 2.
Based on the video you would think there would be two dozen dead..

They are also hinting he's far right. In that case, if he's so anti islam, why didn't he target a mosque? The whole think stinks.
I think Germany is now at the end of its tether regarding mass immigration.

I'm sure they will be thrilled to have Starmer's support "We stand with the people of Germany."
I know he's supposed to say something like that, but everything he says comes across as being fake and insincere.
I hope his support for the Germans lasts a bit longer than his support did for OAPs, workers, Waspi's etc

Surprised he hasn't adopted that faux sincere voice and expression, as he mentions the private talk he shared with Frau Hoffman and how she is suffering because of the way the Cons left the Brits in such a dark hole.

It's reported that the driver was known to the authorities. He is apparently known for posting Islamophobic views on social media, so why target a Christmas market where many none Muslim families would be visiting?
It doesn't make sense.

No it doesn't Syl. My guess is they don't know and making up anything.

It does if you have a cynical mind. How long has he been known to the authorities exactly?

It seems this nutter has spent years targeting ex muslim women with filthy and threatening texts. I don't think he's anti Islam at all.

" A mother who failed to send six of her 17 children to school has effectively been deemed unpunishable - because she has so many kids. The single mother found it impossible to get her children to school because she ran out of time in the mornings. Four of her children are meant to go to a primary school but their attendance records were well below the 97 per cent expectation. The other two are older and refused to attend secondary school despite attempts by their mother to 'encourage, bribe and punish them'. Their attendance records fell to as low as 48 per cent.
The 46-year-old mother, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was taken to court by her local authority for failing to ensure the six children attended school.It is the second time she has been prosecuted for the offence. Last year she was given a two-year conditional discharge which she breached with the new offences.
Her defence lawyer argued that her client could not be sentenced to a community service order because 'adding a single thing to her daily schedule' would 'set her up to fail'. "
Speaking to the mother, chairman Colin Stupack said: 'The bench is full of admiration in such difficult personal circumstances, we applaud you for that." https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14236229/Mother-17-court-children-school-fine.html
It seems that there is no father(s) on the scene, and there is no deterrent to breaching the two-year conditional discharge from last year. There is just admiration from the magistrates and them wishing her good luck..."we hope you will get the support from the external agencies that you clearly deserve.' "
Contraception would have been the best and first service she should have approached but a tad late for that.
17 kids.

Muslim scholars teach that Muslims should generally be truthful to each other... unless the purpose of lying is to "smooth over differences" or "gain the upper-hand over an enemy."There are several forms of lying to non-believers that are permitted under certain circumstances, the best known being taqiyya (the Shia name). These circumstances are typically those that advance the cause of Islam - in some cases by gaining the trust of non-believers in order to draw out their vulnerability and defeat them.
Following the Southport murders it was later found that the purpetrator was a first generation immigrant who found his identity and meaning through Islam. When many people protested and rioted they were jailed in their thousands. When many people protested the death of George Floyd and rioted it was called mostly peaceful protesting.

Analysis of his social media also reveals tweets in support of Germany's anti-immigration party AfD, while he has also made comments supporting Elon Musk, far-right thug Tommy Robinson and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.
