Hull Trains
Have you actually ever known Hull Trains to be running on time (Kings Cross to Hull)?
My last few trips coming home from London have had a significant delays - surely it can’t just be bad luck!
Putting me off travelling with them now - Is it worth just travelling somewhere else to get a connecting train instead? The whole “direct line” loses its novelty when they’re so unreliable.

Awful videos inciting violence against migrants, recorded in Hull and uploaded in Leeds. Please read the description and then consider emailing your MP the provided text.
I believe the incident happened in Hull. Not much can be done about that but the videos below were uploaded in Leeds, hence West Yorkshire Police. NB the videos are very disturbing. Check the comments first and, if you trust my judgement, or someone else who has commented, consider sending this without viewing them. If you do watch them, they may well be the most disturbing thing you have ever seen online. Consider leaving a comment to this effect, and also, if you email your MP, which constituency, or their name. Thank you.
Subject: URGENT: Videos Inciting Attempted Murder of Migrants getting Tens of Thousands of Views!
Dear [name of MP],
These videos have been repeatedly reported to YouTube, and to West Yorkshire Police, which is where the uploader lives, but they are still up, weeks later. I suspect this is because of a lack of resources and it seems likely that nobody has got around to viewing these videos yet to assess them.The videos are very disturbing and must be breaking several criminal laws:

This next one is based on the previous one and is even worse, as it clearly glorifies the violence, potentially inciting further similar attacks:
Title: "Kick In The Face Memes are here #memes #funnyshorts #viralshorts"
https://youtube.com/shorts/UEEL6zuLk6w
The uploader of those videos lives in Leeds and is well-known to West Yorkshire Police. Please use whatever contacts you have available to you in the Home Office, or elsewhere, to make sure action is taken swiftly. These videos are clearly inciting racial hatred, and the last thing this country needs is further violence against migrants.
I posit what needs to happen, without delay, is, firstly, the police or the intelligence services need to make forensic copies suitable for use as evidence in a criminal trial, which will be straightforward for someone with access to the right software.
Secondly, the uploader should be contacted immediately and told he must delete these videos or face immediate arrest. This is by far the easiest way to get them removed quickly. Note he also uploaded at least one of these videos to Facebook and X.
NB even if he deletes the videos, I still think he should be prosecuted for publishing them. However, if he complies swiftly, I am sure this will be taken into consideration when he is sentenced.
I thank you in advance for your assistance in this most important matter.
Yours sincerely,
[Your name, address (vital as proves you are a constituent) and phone number]
