Police in Uvalde face mounting criticism from parents and local residents over the time taken to bring the massacre to an end, the Financial Times reports. The shooter entered the school unobstructed around 12 minutes after crashing his pick-up truck near the school and firing several shots at bystanders. He had earlier shot his grandmother, who is in a critical condition.
If this timeline is correct, the criticism appears well founded. Car crash? Shooting at bystanders? Shot his grandmother? Surely any of these would have prompted instant police response, well within 12 minutes – or even 10. And the grandmother shooting must have taken place at least another few minutes earlier. Did no one notice or report that gunfire? Seems to me he could have been intercepted well before he even got close to the school.

Why does Ted Cruz say that the rest of the world envies America and wants to go there? It is on a par with Patel saying that the UK (I use the term reluctantly) is so attractive to refugees because of the generous social security system we have here.
I originally typed ‘think’ and ‘thinking’ but changed the words because they do not think or believe these statements. They know they are lies.
I would like Cruz to go to a gathering of bereaved parents and repeat his words to their faces. I would like Patel to retrospectively review her parents’ applications for acceptence here, consider her own position and then cosider getting medical help to relieve her sociopathic disorder.

SIR Jeffrey Donaldson:
“And I reminded Congressman Neal and his colleagues that this too is our mantra: that today Northern Ireland is subjected to laws and taxes into which it has no say, that not a single member elected to this Assembly can influence many of the laws that now oversee how we conduct trade in our country because they are imposed by the European Union, and there is no democratic accountability to this institution or any democratic institution in this country,” he said.
Sound familiar?
Substitute Westminster for the EU as far as Scotland is concerned.
Presumably,on that basis,we can expect the DUP to support Scottish independence.

The Indiaina thing is a memorandum of understanding on some trade facilitation details. It’s not nothing but it’s definitely not what Penny Mordaunt says it is.
