Hard-right Restore Britain MP Rupert Lowe has caused uproar by telling grating Yank podcaster Joe Rogan that the 1996 Dunblane massacre was only ‘one murder’. The tone-deaf right-winger also lamented that his father lost his pistols due to changes in law brought in after the killings. Well, boo-bloody-hoo, for daddy. The Oxford-educated ex-banker was talking about UK gun laws with Rogan, who is himself the human embodiment of divorced-man-whose-kids-won’t-speak-to-them energy. Let’s get this straight. In March 1996, Thomas Hamilton, an alleged nonce, walked into a primary school in Dunblane, Scotland, and massacred 16 primary school pupils and a teacher. He stalked…

A prestigious private school full of rich kids is facing backlash after its huntsman admitted to an illegal wildlife murder. Done footage captured the controversial hunt as Stowe Beagles were seen tracking and ripping apart a European Brown Hare. It then shows members of the elite Buckinghamshire boarding school congratulating each other on the kill. We, the public, only have until 18 June to back a total ban on the trail hunting — that’s when the government consultation closes. It is our last chance to close this legal loophole for good and stop these senseless killings. Blood sports for posh schoolboys…

Israel’s contempt for the lives and wellbeing of children, and for international law, is on show daily. As well as attacking Lebanese hospitals, the invaders have blown up a school for disabled children in southern Lebanon. The destruction was not a stray shell or even a targeted airstrike. Instead, it was wanton destruction using planted explosives.

Teaching assistants, residential workers, and other support staff at Ash Field Academy, a Leicester SEND school, completed their third day of strike action on Thursday 14 May. They’re demanding that Discovery Schools Academy Trust (DSAT), which runs the school, reinstates their trade union rep, Tom Barker. DSAT suspended Barker from Ash Field on 30 October 2025. This was just four working days after the closure of a ballot in which UNISON members voted for strike action over staffing cuts. DSAT linked the suspension to unspecified conduct concerns. Almost seven months on, DSAT has still produced no evidence to support any allegations…
