I wonder what Keith Blakelock had been assigned to do the noght he was murdered. Short memories it seems….
Firefighters reportedly attended an automatic fire alarm at the Radcliffe Camera library in Oxford this morning.
During previous demonstrations, police have asked firefighters to help remove protesters.
Firefighting is a humanitarian role. The FBU advises members not to assist with law enforcement activities.

Hmmm
I've been quiet on here because my life has been turned upside down. My daughter Zoe is in prison 💔
She's being treated like a terrorist for taking action against an Israeli arms firm

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Zoe Rogers is accused of participating in a violent raid which left police and employees suffering injuries having been attacked with a sledgehammer. Although “aggravated burglary” is the charge it was politically motivated, hence the suggestion it constitutes terrorism.

Your periodic reminder that armed police officers almost never fire their weapons on duty. Last year (2023/24) there were 17,589 firearms operations in England and Wales, in only 2 of which were shots fired at people. gov.uk/government/statistics…

I regret to inform you I just heard a tour guide outside of my work tell a bunch of tourists that ‘barristers get allocated their wigs by an expert in the way Harry Potter gets allocated a wand’.
