Lawmakers, Lawbreakers
When politicians get caught committing crimes, it's like watching a toddler deny eating chocolate with their entire face smeared in it. There they are, standing in front of a podium, sweat glistening under the lights, swearing they “had no idea” that embezzling millions and hiding it in a fake charity called “Save the Puppies Foundation” was wrong. Their excuse? “I was hacked,” “It’s a smear campaign,” or the classic, “This is all news to me,” as if their signature didn’t appear on every shady document like a kid writing their name on the wall with permanent marker. And yet, despite overwhelming evidence, they strut back into office like nothing happened—because in politics, apparently, crime pays... and also gets you a book deal and a Netflix docuseries.
Scammers Pose as Parking Attendants in New £1,300 Fraud
- Thursday, 17 April 2025
Fraudsters have been targeting motorists at car parks in Leicestershire by posing as parking attendants. Victims are guided to specific machines and asked to insert their bank cards and verbally "register" their PINs, allowing the fraudsters to access the victims' money. Three cases were reported in the past six weeks, with victims being elderly and vulnerable. The police urge people to be cautious and not enter their cards into the machine if unsure about the attendant's identity or if they are asked to verify their PIN.
