Slow Horses geography error?

Just catching up with the new series of Slow Horses (which is magnificent) and I heard a character (won't name them as it is a bit of a spoiler) refer to a place called Upper Richmond.Am I right in thinking that there is no such place and the road is named thus due to where it stands in relation to the Lower Richmond Road?

Lady sitting Putney station

I don't if this older lady is wanting money from people or not, but just thought I would say, I've seen her marching down the road quickly smarter dressed with a gold watch on her wrist. But when at the station the other day she was wearing an old wooly hat. She has been there in the day time for a while now usually sits on the steps to the station.

Danny Tommo ~ Judge Tan Ikram

It is disgraceful that Danny Tommo was refused bail! 🤬Danny Tommo Bail Refused ~ Meet the Judgehttps://www.instagram.com/p/Ddvva6-iJap/?stkn=cGQ2d2xyM3lrbGtxDeputy Senior District Judge Tan Ikram is the judge who refused Danny Tommo bail and remanded him in custody.Danny Tommo has pleaded not guilty, yet he remains behind bars awaiting his next hearing.Whatever your politics, this case has reignited the debate around two-tier justice, bail decisions and public confidence in the British justice system.Ikram is no stranger to controversy:The Spectator ~ March 2024Judge Tanweer Ikram is not your usual judge. Ikram, who has a CBE to his name for services to diversity, has tirelessly insisted that minorities need to see people looking like them in senior positions (he has Pakistani Muslim heritage). Whether you see him as an innovative radical or a dreary progressive, Ikram is now mired in less savoury controversy. Last month, he notoriously gave a 12-month conditional discharge to three women guilty of publicly displaying paraglider images supporting Hamas, a banned terrorist group. It was quickly pointed out afterwards that he had previously ‘liked’ a post on LinkedIn accusing Israel of terrorism in Gaza (something he says he did mistakenly). Understandably it was suggested that having done this he ought to have recused himself from the trial for apparent bias.

Ranulph Fiennes

I'm seeing this non stop on facebook that Sir Ranulph 2nd wife keeps hiding him in Care Homes. The strange thing is his Stepson is asking for Donations (Why). After the King and Ben Fogel  have been trying to find him with no luck surely his wife should be arrested until she discloses his whereabouts. Obviously if he has been hidden for 2 years, his relations must be really concerned. Why has it taken relations so long to start worrying. At one point I think he was also in a care home near here before being moved to Wales or somewhere.  Why are they unable to check on medical records to find his whereabouts. Come on all you brain boxes on here.

Mandy Burnham

Jeremy Vine is just talking to a Quaker Chaplain from Swansea called Emma Roberts who looks just like Andy Burnham. Emma gets called Mandy Burnham.  She does look very much like the PM.

Russia this, Russia that..

But the truth is that the evil ruling Cabal is trying to start a NATO led war with Russia, and using its Western 'leader' puppets to put out propaganda, and drum up fear. We (UK) have already put ourselves in danger, wilfully, with all the weapon supplies to Ukraine (another provocative war), but neither can a false flag 'Russian attack' be ruled out to help get things started, and see your kids sent to the battlefield to be slaughtered..

Vehicle Control Services Limited Sheffield.

These are 3 posts that I put on my Facebook page over the past few days. Is anyone else having grief from this Sheffield based company.(1) ICELAND CAR PARK ABERTILLERY. (£400 COMPENSATION OFFERED FOR ME TO DROP THE CASE WHICH I HAVE.REFUSED.)Private car parking company Vehicle Control Services Limited were summoned to appear before Blackwood Civil Court tomorrow (23-9-26.)  But I have been informed today that the hearing is now being held tomorrow at Cardiff Civil and Family Justice Centre. VCSL have been summoned to answer allegations of continued harassment between March and December 2025 following them issuing me with 5 illegitimate fines between those dates and also threatening bailiff and High Court action. All 5 fines were eventually cancelled. I am not confident on winning the case tomorrow being a small fish up against a trained solicitor. Bu one thing I am confident of is that I will prove 100% that VCSL have provided myself and the court with false evidence which I won't disclose until tomorrow. This false evidence has been provided by a legal executive with VCSL who signed the documents and who is well aware that false evidence already provided and which will be given tomorrow attracts possible criminal action for perjury and contempt of court.(2) ICELAND CAR PARK ABERTILLERY.You couldn't make this up. Today's Civil Court hearing against VCSL at Blackwood Civil Court was yesterday moved to Cardiff Civil Court. We arrived at the Cardiff court at 12.45pm today to make sure we were there early for the 2 hour slot at 2.00-4-00pm. After waiting for more than 1 hour, at 3.15 we were informed by the acting Judge in the case that as there was only three quarters of an hour to hear the case there were 2 options. One was to rush through the case or adjourn until a later date. The VCSL Barrister who again tried to buy me off with a £400 sweetener to drop the case was of a mind to continue but I objected and the case was adjourned to a future date. The acting judge apologised for the delay of over 1 hour explaining that the Judge who was assigned to the case fell ill after hearing a previous case this afternoon. Also the Legal Executive who prepared the 55 page defense witness statement didn't turn up in court. Neither did the Area Manager of VCSL turn up knowing that he would have given evidence to the court that was false. The matter has now been moved back to Blackwood Civil Court. (3) Sorry to bore ones NOT affected by the Iceland Abertillery car parking scam by Vehicle Control Services Limited.I now have absolute proof that the exclusion camera that covered the 4 Blaenau Gwent Borough Council free 24 hour public parking spaces in the Iceland car park Abertillery (See Below) failed a number of times in 2024, for 11 days between 16th and 26 March 2025, again in October 2025, and for 14 days between 10th and 23rd December 2025. Despite VCSL falsely claiming to DVLA that the failure was a short term technical issue  the exclusion camera failed again in February 2026 and July 2026. This has led to hundreds if not thousands of illegitimate fines being issued to innocent motorists. If you were parked in one of those 4 bays and were pressured into paying the fine owing to a threat of bailiff and High Court action being taken I would suggest you contact VCSL legal Executive Jake Burgess and ask for a refund. VCSL have absolute proof from still photos of whether you were in those bays or not. Mr Burgess' email address is                                   jakeburgess@vehiclecontrol.co.uk

781 Illegal Migrants Arrived Yesterday

The Home Office confirmed 781 migrants arrived on Wednesday, beating the previous high for this year of 752 on July 29. It means 1,085 migrants reached Britain across the Channel in the first three days of this week. It means 1,085 migrants reached Britain across the Channel in the first three days of this week. On September 2 she said: 'We are boosting officer numbers to record highs to crack down on small boat launches and the gangs behind them. This work is bearing fruit.'On Wednesday ten small boats reached British shores, picked up at the mid-point of the Channel and ferried to Dover by UK Border Force.This week has also witnessed two 'uncontrolled landings' in which migrant boats reach the UK without being intercepted by the authorities.Meanwhile we are repeatedly being told by this Government that thenumbers are falling.   We are being lied to in my opinion and this issue, illegal immigration, will ensure that Labour will lose the next GE.   Bring it on!!

The challenge of Islam to British society

'Immigration, segregation and Islamist activism are creating a crisis.'A long but thought provoking read.Do readers agree or is it just hyperbole ?https://www.spiked-online.com/2026/09/19/the-challenge-of-islam-to-british-society/?utm_source=Spiked+Subscribers&utm_campaign=34172c6618-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2026_09_20_01_50&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_-34172c6618-297294498Extract -'There is little doubt that Islam poses a challenge to British society. It is growing in influence and has political as well as religious ambitions.'It is already affecting our democracy and changing our culture. Former home secretary Suella Braverman didn’t hold back in a Telegraph op-ed in February 2024: '‘The truth is that the Islamists, the extremists and the anti-Semites are in charge now. They have bullied the Labour Party, they have bullied our institutions, and now they have bullied our country into submission. This is a crisis. And the fightback must start now, with urgency, if we are to preserve the liberties we cherish and the privileges this country affords us all. If we are to have any chance of saving our country from the mob.’
