We have recently been doing some work behind the scenes with updates and changes to the website. A recent server upgrade uncovered a small number of form submissions that were 'stuck' in the system and had not made it through to us. These will be added shortly and apologies if you have not been contacted by a case handler. These will be kept on the system as usual. We may contact you regarding images, as some are not able to be opened. Apologies and thanks in advance for your patience.

An ideal solution with no planning required. It is also insurance approved and at an event just yesterday we met people who keep their bikes in a wooden shed or open back yard. Drones are used by thieves to find bikes in gardens - think smarter, and if you are really smart use our members discount code!

Half a million garden thefts. One smart solution. 🔒

Keep your bikes, tools, and valuables protected with an Asgard Shed.

I hate talking to cameras! Come along to the Burton Banter Birthday Bash to celebrate their 5th year. Big bike night which is always popular. Good food, plenty of drinks, plenty of banter. See you there.

A VERY important story if your child riders an illegal or on the roads anywhere in the UK.

As a parent, YOU are responsible. YOU will be prosecuted and your child will also receive an IN10 for driving without insurance and licence which will affect their passing of their driving test when they are older, and in some cases, can mean further tests or instant bans under totting up as soon as they pass.

If you cild injures or fatally wounds someone - YOU will be the one going to Prison!

Ed Ashman, 81, was walking home when he was allegedly hit by a 14-year-old who was "doing wheelies" on an e-motorcycle - the boy's mother was warned against letting her son ride illegally

Had an interesting chat with Facebook....
It all started when a Fake Facebook account asked us for a ransom in 50k bitcoin or they would interfere with our website and tell everyone we were terrible across social media. He did do this, stating the charity did not exist on posts where we were helping victims etc, despite having nearly a decade of searchable history. The response from Facebook was to put us on notice....stating the page was 'pretending to be a celebrity' -whatever that means. I guess this is what our troll stated when we reported his fake account. No evidence or confirmation was offered. Just the charge and a demand to see the COMPANY passport - Trustees or Founder not enough. That isn't a thing, and there is nobody that can clarify after weeks of asking.
Cyber Security traced the fake account down to a sheltered housing development in Birmingham. We could involve Police, and I am tempted, but the guy has learning difficulties and has been booted out of several shelters for this type of behaviour. I think his life is sad enough. He has several fake accounts, and for some bizarre reason, facebook are fine with that. Because of what we do with crime prevention, we get many malicious attacks to take down our pages and groups by theft gangs - but usually Facebook had someone to support that could see what is going on. That is no longer the case, with AI in sole control of the entire system - or so it claims.
Sounds like a scam - but that cannot be confirmed as according to the in control of facebook help centre, there is nobody that can help and the AI does not understand the issue. No escalation, no complaints procedure - just 'sorry, nothing I can do', just advised on how to delete your account and data and go to another social media platform.
This chat uncovered some deeply concerning security issues regarding data and the security of it with AI describing a complete lack of understanding of it's obligations, as well as some destructive business ethics of telling users to go elsewhere when it does not understand. It appears the sole charge of the company has been left with tech that cannot control it, does not understand. That is very worrying when you consider the amount of data it collects from you, and it doesn't understand what it can and can't do.
I have reached out to confirm before releasing a story in Facebook Security issues, but there is nobody there....apparently! Maybe Javier Olivan as COO is no longer there? Has vanished? What is to happen when AI cannot understand and tells you to use competitors? Doesn't sound the astute business choices that got them where they are, or is it a data collection device now? That would make sense with taking you eyes off the ball, and let it autonomously harvest data that it 'doesn't know' how to protect. Deeply concerning, and there is no way of getting an explanation. Maybe this is get a response - oddly the AI gave permission to publish a story online...no press office either then?

A little 'Off Topic', but coming from a military family I had to say something. stated allies were freeloaders that stood at the back - so does USA really need anyone in Iran? Should we leave him to it? Do they need no assistance in the future?

We asked the top three AI platforms one simple question: How many wars initiated by the USA did they win, WITHOUT ANY allied involvement;

Chat GPT:

The short answer: Only a very small number of U.S. wars were both initiated by the United States and won without any allied military involvement. The clearest examples generally cited by historians are the Mexican‑American War, the Spanish‑American War, the Barbary Wars, and the U.S. Civil War (a domestic conflict)

GROK:

Unable to answer

MS CoPilot:

No clear historical record shows any major U.S.-initiated war being won without allied involvement. The United States has fought several conflicts largely on its own, but even in those cases it typically relied on at least limited coalition, local partners, or foreign support.

Emergency Blood Bikers had the blue lights rights removed a number of years back now, and had to resort to amber lights alone. Since then, Blood Biker Deaths have risen to an unacceptable level.

Amber lights are often abused by road workers or civilians that leave them on when away from sites, there purpose is to outline a hazard. This has resulted in many amber lights being ignored as they are everywhere, and they are no longer effective - this has been seen in the deaths of many vehicle recovery operators who have long campaigned for reds to be added for just this reason.

Blood Bikers are the hidden heroes we all rely on, and really should have retained the Blue emergency service lights in our opinion - However, that has been ruled out.

Below is a petition for Green lights - used by Doctors/Vets to be used which would help combat the significant rise in deaths of Blood Bikers that are volunteering to keep us all alive with organs, blood and urgent life saving test results.

Please sign the petition, to ensure that should you or your family ever need the service - that it arrives, and the rider is not put at risk by having Green Lights to announce that a medical emergency service is in progress.

We would like to thank all Blood Bikers for their service an contribution without which, many lives would have been lost. You can read more on this vital service at bloodbikes.org.uk

Grant permission for blood bikers to use green lights
