A building collapsed in the centre of Oldham on Tuesday. Five people were injured. Two were taken to hospital. Workers were inside when it came down. Members of the public were steps away. It is a miracle no one died. The building owner called the event 'unfortunate'. The property at 31 King Street is owned by a company whose director is Kamran Ghafoor. Ghafoor is a serving Oldham councillor, leader of the Oldham Group, officially aligned with @georgegalloway's Workers Party, he sits on the very council that carries enforcement responsibility for dangerous buildings in this borough. He has previously been prosecuted over housing offences connected to properties he owned. Inside the council chamber, elected members who sit alongside him branded him a slum landlord. He remained in post. Ghafoor's brother appeared on Greater Manchester Police's most wanted list. Cllr Kammy G has yet to condemn him. His Deputy Leader's brother is a convicted international drug runner. Not one councillor in the town dare raise this. No surprise then, that a convicted heroin dealer and getaway driver for a cop killer is now running for election in the town. Representing one of the poorest wards in the country. Kammy G drives around the town in a supercar. It appears as though he has a fleet of them. Previously, he was criticised for leaving his Rolls Royce parked next to the town's war memorial. He then changed his Rolls for a German Porsche and parked that there instead. No, I'm not making any of this up, he even posed for a picture with it next to the war memorial, such is his power. The Council Knew This Building Was Dangerous Before It Fell Works were underway to address structural concerns already identified before Tuesday. A neighbouring property had been demolished years earlier, leaving the exposed wall to deteriorate. The risk was known before a single worker went inside. Someone identified it, decided repairs were needed, commissioned them, and sent workers in. While those workers were inside a building already flagged as structurally compromised, it came down. Someone made a decision about that building and got it catastrophically wrong. The Law Makes Clear Who Bears Responsibility The Building Act 1984 requires dangerous structures to be made safe before anyone is put at risk. The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 places explicit legal obligations on those who commission construction works to keep workers and the public safe. These laws exist because buildings that fall on people tend to kill them. Tuesday was luck. The kind that does not come twice. Neither the HSE Nor Greater Manchester Police Have Confirmed They Are Investigating. Why? When a building collapses during active construction works in the UK, the investigation cannot sit with the local authority. The Health and Safety Executive holds primary jurisdiction. If criminal negligence is in question, @gmpolice must be involved. Neither body has publicly confirmed a formal investigation has been opened. @OldhamCouncil cannot investigate a collapse involving one of its own sitting councillors. Ghafoor cannot be permitted to shelter behind the protection that holding office in this borough affords him. The bodies with actual teeth must now use them. If the HSE has not opened a formal investigation, that decision requires a public explanation. Ghafoor Has Been Protected Long Enough The people Ghafoor represents live in the kind of housing linked to his property interests. They have no lawyers and no way to force an inquiry. They depend entirely on public institutions to enforce the law without calculating whether Ghafoor is worth protecting. The enforcement record against him does not suggest those institutions have been rushing. Prior housing prosecutions are on his record. His brother was named on Greater Manchester Police's published most wanted list. The words slum landlord were put on the public record by his own council colleagues, in his presence, and he carried on regardless. He drives a supercar through streets his constituents cannot afford to heat their homes on. A building he owns fell in the middle of Oldham and put people in hospital. The local college is yards away. The HSE and Greater Manchester Police must open formal investigations now. If they do not, the question stops being about Kamran Ghafoor. It becomes about them. _________ I’m Raja Miah MBE. For seven years, I led a campaign that exposed how senior Labour politicians helped protect Pakistani rape gangs.

The situation with Reform, Restore and Advance: Nigel hates Ben. Ben hates Nigel. Nigel hates Rupert. Rupert hates Nigel. Ben loves Rupert. Rupert's fans would deport Ben.

Hearing various politicians and journalists refer to this grifter as an exceptional politician is vomit-inducing. He voted for the Iraq war. He REPEATEDLY tried to block an inquiry into it. Old Andy does love a cover up. Just ask the survivors of the grooming gangs. Nauseating.

Since Andy Burnham is apparently lining up to be the next Labour leader, here’s a reminder: Andy accused victims of Pakistani-Muslim grooming gangs of trying to “propagandise” the issue. He tried to block the grooming gangs inquiry in Manchester and nationally. He claimed that Pakistani-Muslims grooming gangs are a “thing of the past” despite clear evidence that little girls are still being victimised to this day, including in his local area. He tried to shift the blame onto victims by refusing to acknowledge them as children — Children who were raped, exploited and even murdered by Pakistani grooming gangs while powerful people like him turned a blind eye. Andy Burnham belongs in prison, not in Parliament. And certainly not in 10 Downing Street.

I started writing what was intended to be a 3 or 4 part 'tweet', got somewhat carried away, and the ended up writing my first (and quite possibly last!) Substack post... Link below 👇

THIS is how they curtail free speech, not by putting you in prison.

This is the first article Miri wrote about the 100% controlled asset Lucy Connolly @LucyTCWife last May and it's aged extremely well indeed... The only people still falling for /defending this utter shit show are either in on it or are lazy finger pointing surface scratchers...

I’m guessing I’m not the first to suggest that the whole Alaa Abdel Fattah thing had been propagated to get people to accept a law in which our social media posts can be scrutinised for travel purposes.

I sometimes wonder if these reports ever register with the people who attacked us for warning them. Do they notice the number of people dying suddenly, or the previously healthy young people with sudden onset serious illnesses?

The truth about the BBC and Trump

It’s tiresome hearing endless chatter about “illegal immigrants” when the mass migration is being deliberately orchestrated by the ruling establishment; the same parasites who control the laws and can make everything they engineer “perfectly legal” according to their own rules.

Amazing seeing so-called medical freedom movement Together bigging a party (Reform) whose leadership endorsed compulsory vaccination and wanted Blair to run vaccination in 2021 (and therefore roll out Digital ID via the COVID Pass) 🤯🤯🤯 These organisations are also tied at the hip via Revolutionary Communist Party alumni 🤯

Francis O’Neill on The Delingpod An excellent and eye-opening discussion between @JMCDelingpole and @FrancisxONeill covering the topics that for many are just too hot to handle. Expect the usual “smear and silence” trolls to descend as this is just too over the 🎯 - link 👇

Miri examines the implications of the promotion of JD Vance who, like Barack Obama, was writing media amplified memoirs when he was still relatively unknown.

Can you tell us how he died, where, and why?
