A proposed social media ban for under-sixteens by spring 2027 is sparking heated debate, with critics—including Councillor Tanisha Bramwell and Huddersfield students—calling it a lazy fix. They argue that harmful online content stems from adult misuse and platform negligence, not just age restrictions. Students say social media’s dangers are real but blame tech companies for failing to protect users, urging accountability over bans and advocating for education and platform reform instead.

Your scalp is getting sunburned—and you’re probably ignoring it. Dermatologists warn that even with full hair, your scalp is vulnerable to UV damage, especially if you have thinning hair or a prominent part. Sunburned scalp can feel tender, itchy, and red—different from dandruff—and if left unchecked, it could lead to skin cancer. Protect it with a hat, gentle shampoo, and aloe vera. If it doesn’t heal in a few days—or if you see blisters, swelling, or fever—see a doctor. Your scalp deserves sun protection too.

Two Bradford shops, Lynxes on Sunbridge Road and Kirkgate, were shut down after raids uncovered illegal cigarettes and throwing knives — with the owner, Mohammed Jamal, in Iran and claiming he knew nothing, blaming a staff member who allegedly sold the items to help cover financial debts. Authorities found counterfeit tobacco hidden in odd places, including behind a toilet wall, and deemed the criminal activity systemic. Despite Jamal’s plea that the closures would devastate his businesses and livelihood, the licensing panel revoked both licenses, stating he couldn’t guarantee compliance with licensing laws. The employees involved are no longer with t...

A chilling case of serial murder comes to a grim conclusion as 62-year-old Rex Heuermann is sentenced to life in prison for seven confirmed killings — and likely an eighth — of sex workers across Long Island between 1993 and 2010. The Gilgo Beach murders, first discovered in 2010, were solved through DNA, cell phone records, a pizza crust, and a disturbing trove of weapons and planning materials found in his home. His arrest in 2023 followed years of investigation, and during sentencing, victims’ families delivered raw, emotional pleas — one sister even demanded he look at her. Justice is served, but the real work remains: healing...

A 77-year-old retired vicar is heading to prison after police found him viewing animated child abuse material during a surprise home check. Despite claiming he didn’t realize such images were illegal, this isn’t his first offense—he previously received a suspended sentence and was placed under a sexual harm prevention order. Charged with possession of a prohibited image and breaching that order, he pleaded guilty. The court activated his suspended sentence, sentencing him to 12 months and 12 weeks in jail plus a $187 fine. Police stressed that viewing such content fuels demand and is deeply disturbing, reaffirming their commitment to pro...

Get ready for the longest non-stop commercial flight ever: Qantas is launching a 22-hour London to Sydney route in October 2027, covering 16,900 km without a single stop.

Trevor Chambers, a community center treasurer in Wakefield, stole over £63,000 by skimming cash and transferring funds to personal accounts, leaving the charity in crippling debt. When caught, he escalated his crimes—posing as a landlord and son of an Emmerdale actress to scam friends out of thousands, even forging court docs and stealing jewelry. He targeted a former coworker with fake housing offers and beauty course scams, and duped a couple with a property scheme, then used cancer lies to stall. Arrested with searches for “how to fake symptoms,” he admitted to fraud and theft, receiving a 4.5-year sentence for cal...

Leeds police shut down a brutal drug gang that terrorized Halton Moor for years, led by Christopher Hargreaves who weaponized family and friends to run a cocaine and cannabis empire fueled by fear. Armed with machetes and Tasers, they fortified homes with metal grills and cameras—only to be dismantled after a multi-year investigation. Hargreaves fled but was caught with cash and a phone full of evidence. Eight people now face prison or community sentences, sending a stark message: organized crime won’t be tolerated.

A shocking verdict in Teesside Crown Court: 23-year-old Bradley Thomas found guilty of causing fatal brain injuries to his 14-week-old son Emmerson-Oak by violently shaking him during a restless night. The baby died three days later, and medical experts confirmed the injuries were non-accidental, matching the trauma of a fall from height. Thomas claimed the infant fell from his lap, but prosecutors argued he lost control — aided by cannabis found in the home — while the mother testified their relationship was “near perfect.” Justice, though imperfect, has been served as Thomas awaits sentencing on July 15th, with police calling it a necess...

A chilling tale of captivity and brutality: Ashley Crowder, 36, was convicted of murdering Graham Cox, 37, after holding him hostage for two weeks, draining his bank account, and beating him to death. Cox, already vulnerable from drug addiction and health issues, went 14 days without food or water before escaping through a window and reporting the ordeal. Crowder initially pretended Cox had fallen and suffered a brain bleed, but prosecutors revealed he was strangled and assaulted. Cox described how Crowder first appeared kind—offering food and a bath—before turning violent when money ran out. Crowder is now awaiting sentencing.

A UK nurse was struck off the register after telling a chemotherapy patient that COVID vaccines caused her cancer — a claim she presented as fact, causing severe distress. She also distributed anti-vax materials and accessed patient records without authorization, claiming it was for “research.” Though she apologized, the Nursing Council found her actions deeply unprofessional and damaging to public trust, leading to her removal — with an 18-month appeal window.

Sheffield United’s coaching staff just got a major overhaul as Phil Jones, ex-Man Utd and England star, joins as first-team coach — marking a big step up for the club. Alan Knill, Wilder’s longtime right-hand man since their Northampton days, is departing after being more than just a coach — he was a confidant. Micky Collins, previously a first-team coach, is promoted to assistant manager, while Guilherme Ramos also leaves. With Jones’ top-flight experience and Collins’ proven loyalty, the squad aims to build on last season’s 13th-place finish — and Wilder’s team is clearly reshaping for the future.

A man renovating his kitchen stumbled upon a sealed bag of Golden Wonder crispy bacon crisps tucked behind a cabinet—dating back to the late 1970s or possibly 1986, based on packaging clues. After posting the find on X, fans raced to compare vintage bags and consensus leaned toward 1983. The crisps, still unopened and full, sparked nostalgia for when snack bags were packed tight and bacon flavor was pure, uncut intensity—some even calling them the ultimate bacon snack. Golden Wonder, founded in 1947 and later acquired by Tayto, got a nostalgic boost from this time capsule discovery.

Three inmates stand trial for the brutal stabbing of Kyle Bevan, a prisoner convicted of murdering his two-year-old stepdaughter — a crime the prosecution claims was no accident but a calculated, “business-like” hit. Tensions in prison allegedly fueled the attack, with the defendants reportedly coordinating in the days before the murder. After Bevan was stabbed 25 times, one defendant allegedly praised staff for “nice working with you,” painting a chilling picture of pride in their alleged teamwork. The defense counters with a lack of direct evidence — no CCTV inside the cell — arguing presence alone doesn’t equal guilt. The jury must now weigh the pr...

A former London Clinic employee got a formal caution from the UK’s data watchdog after attempting to access and sell private medical records of the Princess of Wales during her January surgery. The clinic reported the breach, triggering a criminal investigation by the ICO, which found no systemic failures — just one rogue actor trying to profit from sensitive health data. The King, also treated at the clinic around the same time, was unaffected. The case underscores the deep trust placed in healthcare professionals and the serious consequences when that trust is betrayed.

New research shakes up the long-held belief that calcium and vitamin D pills prevent fractures and falls in older adults. A massive 11-year study of nearly 154,000 people found these supplements offer little to no real benefit for the general population. While still potentially useful for those with specific bone conditions or under medical guidance, the evidence now suggests widespread use may be unnecessary—and even cause stomach issues like constipation. The outdated idea likely stems from a 90s study targeting a very specific, high-risk group. It’s time to rethink current recommendations.
