The idea is to encourage people to hand their wartime souvenirs or heirlooms over to police. With four days left of the great guns amnesty, Torquay police have been showing off the latest haul of firearms handed in at the town's police station. The guns and ammunition add to an already-impressive collection of guns taken out of circulation. The idea of the fortnight-long firearms surrender is to encourage people who have guns at home - possibly wartime souvenirs or heirlooms - to hand them over to police. The amnesty period runs until Sunday November 26 and they can be handed...

Nightmare neighbours smoking cannabis inside their own homes is a common problem for communities across Britain. The notoriously pungent stench may be a sign of a recreational user smoking the odd joint next door or the drug being grown in large quantities close by. And while you may not be bothered by what other people get up to in their own homes, there’s no denying the smell can be off-putting. So what action can you take if you suspect the drug is being used near your home? The Derby Telegraph and DevonLive took a closer look at the law surrounding...

In the wake of three high-profile mass shootings — Las Vegas, Sutherland Springs and Rancho Tehema — I wonder if firearms freedom fence sitters are starting to get the message: gun control doesn’t work. Background checks don’t stop criminals, crazies and terrorists from tooling-up and going postal. Background checks don’t stop them. Assault weapon bans don’t stop them. Ammunition capacity laws don’t stop them. A bullet to the brain? That stops them! Here’s more proof [via dailyrecord.co.uk] . . . An eccentric pensioner who was found to have a massive arsenal of weapons after the fire brigade rushed to...

The man behind a website to help Muslim men find 'second wives' has insisted the service can 'empower' women. Azad Chaiwala, from Sunderland, set up SecondWife.com, for the 'small section' of Muslims who are looking to have multiple wives. Appearing on ITV's This Morning, Mr Chaiwala said his website would discourage women from being mistresses and instead 'empower' them by legitimising the relationship in a way that allows it to be regarded as more than just an affair. Viewers were shocked by Azed's beliefs, saying he was using the website to justify cheating. One tweeted: 'He says it empowers women......

In January, I wrote in these pages about the Democrats’ dossier on Donald Trump. Much of what seemed likely about it at the time has since been confirmed. No surprise there. Hillary Clinton has confessed. But what is surprising is the general lack of appreciation for the significance of this sordid episode. Democrats have elevated delusion to an art form by insisting the funding of the dossier is irrelevant, and that what really matters is its unverified and unverifiable allegations of collusion between President Trump and Russia. Alternatively, the White House has asserted that the dossier proves that it was...

A British tourist facing execution for taking prescription painkillers into Egypt is crammed into a tiny cell with 25 other women and a hole in the floor for a toilet. Laura Plummer, 33, was arrested with the tramadol tablets in her suitcase after she flew into a Red Sea beach resort for a two-week break with her Egyptian husband.

ritain's reaffirmation of Peel's proposed "two-state solution" is long overdue Britain’s Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson has acknowledged that Jordan and Israel represent the only viable “two state solution” that can end the Arab-Jewish conflict. Writing in the Daily Telegraph on 29 October—ahead of the centenary of the Balfour Declaration on 2 November—the Foreign Secretary stated:

They are the last remaining heroes of the glorious Few, whose daring and bravery saved Britain from Nazi tyranny. Of the dwindling band of men, who were part of the near 3,000-strong aircrew who served with the RAF Fighter Command between July 10 and October 31 1940, just eight surviving members of the Battle of Britain Fighter Association remain. Many of the men were still teenagers or in their early 20s when they repelled Hitler's Luftwaffe in what may be the most important battle this country has ever fought.

The British-born jihadi bride who was married to the most senior American member of ISIS has spoken out, revealing her new life as a suburban mom in Dallas. Tania Georgelas, 33, detailed her radicalization, her dream for her children to become terrorists and the ultimate split with her jihadi husband in a new interview with The Atlantic, released Friday. 'Our dreams were to have land of our own, raise a family and train them be assassins or whatever, soldiers, and then eventually go join the jihad,' she said of her ex-husband John Georgelas, an American-born convert to Islam who has risen to...

DEFENCE Secretary Sir Michael Fallon ­sensationally resigned after ­admitting that he has been a sex pest. The Cabinet minister, 65, told PM Theresa May his past behaviour had “fallen below the high standards” he asked of troops he presided over.

Nuts are an on-the-go snacking staple, yet they are also potentially deadly to a small fraction of the UK population. So is it time to crack down on eating nuts in public and if so, where should we start? About two million people in the UK have a food allergy, with fish, shellfish and nuts among the most common types. More than 25,000 people were admitted to hospital in England for allergies between 2015 and 2016 - a third higher than four years earlier - and the number of people treated for anaphylactic shock is also on the rise. So...

In the audience were forty students from nine surrounding schools and students studying journalism from Gloucestershire University, but Newent pupils had questioned lined up too. A spokesman said: "The talk was based around an interview with Mariella Frostrup who asked questions regarding her book 'What Happened'; which is her in-depth study of the 2016 presidential...

Donald Trump has an "absolute duty" to prepare for military intervention against North Korea in the face of the mounting nuclear threat posed by the regime, Boris Johnson will say. The Foreign Secretary will warn that Kim Jong-un, the North Korean leader, is on the verge of acquiring that capability of "make good his threat" to reduce New York to "ashes". It comes after the US President yesterday said that the US is "totally prepared" for war with North Korea as he increased the US military presence in North Korea. He has previously threatened to unleash "fire and fury". Mr...

Bill Clinton suggested that people who backed Brexit did not understand the impact of their vote as he accepted an honorary degree in Ireland on Tuesday. The former US President told Dublin City University that voters are only just starting to understand the consequences of leaving the European Union. Mimicking a voter, he said: 'Oh my God, I didn't know I was going to lose that customs thing and all these economic benefits. Why didn't anyone tell me that?' He also told the audience that Britain's decision to leave the EU was motivated by people focusing on differences, rather than...

Chi Onwurah, the MP for Newcastle Central, has begun the formal process which could see shamed Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein stripped of his UK honours. Harvey Weinstein. “The allegations against Harvey Weinstein are growing by the day and it is imperative that we start the process of stripping him of his honorary CBE. “This is about demonstrating that survivors of sexual assault and harassment need to be taken seriously – and it is also about ensuring that the economic opportunity of women is not constrained by the predatory actions of powerful men.” The Labour MP has written to Cabinet Secretary...

Yesterday evening Hillary Clinton appeared in front of an audience of thousands to be interviewed live by BBC special correspondent James Naughtie. She was promoting her book What Happened in which she dissects the 2016 election campaign from a range of angles in order to identify how the most qualified, experienced and seemingly popular candidate ended up losing to Donald Trump. While in the past year American politics has been at the forefront of many people’s minds, it’s hard to imagine another former US secretary of state selling out an auditorium within hours of the tickets going on sale. It...
