A Russian man has become an unlikely internet legend after waking up covered head-to-toe in coal dust on a freight train bound for Siberia — with no memory of how he got there and his first priority being to call off work. Dmitry, a young man from Yekaterinburg, had apparently blacked out during a heavy night at a local club before somehow climbing into an open coal freight car and passing out. He woke up bruised, filthy and approximately 330 kilometres from where he started, on a train heading to Tyumen in western Siberia. Rather than panic, he picked up…

Polish police have arrested four Swedish citizens who allegedly robbed a Norwegian tourist at knifepoint in the historic centre of Gdańsk, detaining them at the city’s airport the following day as they prepared to board a flight back to Sweden. The robbery took place on Stągiewna Street on 7 May 2026. The suspects — Mohamad H., 17, Aran Acib A., 23, Jabril H., 18, and Senal Saned O., 19 — allegedly held a knife to the victim’s chest while taking his mobile phone, bank card and PIN. They subsequently used the card to withdraw several thousand Norwegian kroner from ATMs…

More than 570 candidates who centred their local election campaigns on Gaza and other overseas Muslim grievances rather than issues within their council’s remit have won seats across England, according to analysis by the Henry Jackson Society — a finding that has reignited debate about the influence of identity politics and transnational issues on British local democracy. The Henry Jackson Society identified 572 “sectarian-style” candidates elected across 58 councils and two mayoral races, with the figure expected to rise to 574 once Birmingham City Council completes its final count. The breakdown by party shows the Green Party accounting for the…

The owner of a west London Indian restaurant says he was held by the Metropolitan Police for nearly 24 hours after defending his family from an attack on his premises — while the man who allegedly assaulted his daughter, spat on his wife and smashed his restaurant’s front door walked free. Kapoor, who runs Rangrez restaurant in Hammersmith, was released without charge on 10 May 2026 following his detention. He had been arrested, he says, for defending his family during the incident.

A Lidl security guard has been caught on camera attempting to remove a blind man and his guide dog from a London supermarket, insisting the animal was not permitted inside — in an apparent breach of disability law that has sparked widespread outrage online. The approximately 40-second clip, posted on X by @OliLondonTV, shows a guard in a high-visibility vest repeatedly ordering the blind customer and his guide dog to leave the store, near the entrance and fruit and vegetable section. When the customer explains that it is a guide dog, the guard doubles down, saying “I’ve not seen you…

A viral video of a man taunting Polish taxpayers while waving banknotes and boasting about living on state benefits has exploded across social media in Poland, prompting a prominent Polish MEP to publicly crowdsource the man’s personal details — as the clip exposes deep tensions over immigration and welfare in one of Europe’s most tightly controlled benefit systems. The video, posted to TikTok by a user identified as Ibrahim Pantera — described in local reports as a personal trainer based in the Brzeg area of Poland — shows a man speaking directly to camera in English while flashing Polish zloty…

Green Party candidates who won seats in the UK local elections have delivered victory speeches in non-English languages, with footage showing newly elected councillors addressing supporters primarily in Bengali and opening with the Arabic greeting “As-salamu alaykum” — meaning “peace be upon you” — in what has sparked fresh debate about identity politics and integration in British public life. The scenes, captured in Newham, east London — home to one of the largest Bangladeshi-origin communities in the country — show a newly elected Green councillor greeting supporters in Arabic before switching to Bengali to address what he described as “our…

A British independent journalist and YouTuber with more than 200,000 subscribers has been hospitalised with multiple facial fractures and a concussion after being attacked while filming the annual May Day protests in Paris, in an incident he has attributed to Antifa militants.

He says his attackers used knuckle dusters, stole his camera and microphone, and that the assault felt…

Tony Robinson, the 79-year-old actor best known for playing the bumbling Baldrick in Blackadder, has become the unlikely target of widespread ridicule on X after posting an energetic video urging voters to back Labour on one of the most consequential election days since the party’s 2024 general election victory. The clip, which circulated rapidly on Thursday morning, shows Robinson dancing and jogging down a street in a green shirt, arms flailing, with bold red text overlaid on the screen reading “Vote TODAY Vote Change Vote Labour.” The TikTok-style video sees him pointing at the camera, grinning and spinning toward a…
