You would think that after your various children had ended a night of being on a crime spree while riding in a stolen car and terrorising the local community, and ended that criminal rampage by driving that stolen 1.5-ton car at high speed the wrong way on a dual carriageway which ended with the obliteration of another car with two police officers inside who were travelling in the correct direction. An obliteration that killed everyone in both cars As one of those parents you would think that you would feel a little guilt, a little responsibility, a little sadness! Not only for your own child but for the children who were now fatherless directly because of your childs criminal stupidity. You would think you would feel a world of regrets and a lot of "if onlys" and "what ifs." You would think you would be forced to take a good hard long look at yourselves and ask the questions of what you could have done better as a parent ! To own up to your own failings. But oh no, not some of the parents and relatives of these young men. They are looking to cash in and blame everyone else but their feral wannabe gangsta, idiot children, who they couldn't be arsed to parent or discipline or teach the basic rights and wrongs of normal behaviour. For them to say that the police should have called off the chase earlier in an attempt to detain their idiotic sons - who had been involved in several criminal incidents leading up to the police finally identifying the car that they were all packed into, and who then decided to goad the police into a high-speed pursuit? The young men in that car had previously taunted police into chasing them in various vehicles a number of times before, knowing that if they drove at high speed in built-up areas or the wrong way on busy lanes, the police would end the pursuit. Which they would then film, gloating about it all on social media platforms while wearing balaclavas, making gun signs and torching the car. Yet these so-called parents are pointing their fingers at the police, and I am sure they are already looking for a settlement while phoning the first "where there's a blame, there's a claim" advert they could find on the internet. They were utter shit parents, and they are now proving they are utter shit human beings as well. They deserve every bit of ridicule and condemnation that they are receiving. They can't even do the right thing by their children in death. That's how utterly fucking useless they are.

EXCL: Reform are telling voters they will abolish VAT on heating costs and reduce fuel duty if they get into government in Scotland. Sounds great, right? One problem. They can't. Scotland (sadly) does not have these powers ๐Ÿซ  Read more ๐Ÿ‘‡ thenational.scot/news/260600โ€ฆ

In 2023/24 (latest) NHS Scotland payed out ยฃ47.3m for health-related complaints.All things being equal with ten times the population, you might expect the NHS England to be around ยฃ480m. It was ยฃ3.1bn! More than 6 times as high, per head population.Scotlandโ€™s hospitals are safer โ€“ at Wishaw, Scotland

Did Labour at WM duel the A9..No, Did the Tories at WM duel the A9...No, Did Labour at HR duel the A9..No, Did the Labour/Lib-Dems at HR duel the A9..No. Funny how much time Unionist parties spend talking about duelling the A9, but when they had the power, did nothing about it

Hi @ChrisMasonBBC - why are you ignoring this bloke's dodgy tax stuff? Have you got to the bottom of Farage's house-buying confusions yet, or his crypto dealings? Did you investigate Lord Lebedev for 7 months? #r4today #BBCbias #ReformBBC @BBCpolitics

#HS2 was supposed to be a ยฃ36bn high speed rail network connecting London to Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds, and be finished THIS YEAR. Now only one phase, it could cost over ยฃ100Bn with huge amounts of fraud baked in, and not until 2033. But... ferries. ๐Ÿ™„

Remember the NHS before 15 years of Tory austerity.. Same day GP 95% seen within 4 hours in A&E No queuing ambulances 92% specialist treatment within 18 weeks 85% started cancer treatment within 62 days Itโ€™s not the NHS model thatโ€™s the issue, itโ€™s our choice of leadership!
