Tiny Scots gran sits on hammer-wielding thief during terrifying botched raid caught on CCTV
A brave Scots gran helped foil an armed robbery attempt on a family newsagents by sitting on the hammer-wielding thief until police arrived. Roseann Gibson, 63, was working at Browns newsagents in Glasgow with young nephew Christopher Brown on December 27, 2021, when a man wearing a balaclava walked in.
George Kinnear brandished a claw hammer and demanded that staff hand over cash but was tackled by the 26-year-old who flew over the counter towards him. CCTV footage captured the impressive moment Roseann helped her nephew pin the bungling raider to the ground while an elderly customer moved the weapon away.
Prince Harry made 'hand flick' gesture during tense moment at Queen's funeral, says body language expert

Moment Holly Willougby and Phillip Schofield walked past Westminster queue in TikTok clip
Video footage of Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield walking past the long queue at Westminster Hall has been posted on TikTok. The This Morning hosts have faced extreme backlash from viewers after they were accused of 'skipping the queue' - which had a wait time of up to 24 hours - for the Queen's lying in state last week, writes The Mirror.
Both presenters and ITV have vehemently denied the 'VIP access' accusations, with Holly and Phil addressing the situation head on during Tuesday's episode. A social media user has since taken to TikTok to share a clip of the presenters appearing to be led to the hall by security personnel while a crowd (outside a fenced area) wait in line in the distance.
People claiming PIP will never need to report any of these six changes to DWP
Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is a benefit for people over 16 and under State Pension age who need additional help with daily living tasks or getting around as a result of a long-term illness, disability or mental or physical health condition. The benefit is being replaced by Adult Disability Payment which follows the same eligibility guidelines as PIP and is now available in 13 council areas in Scotland.
Successful PIP claimants could receive between £24.45 and £156.90 every week and as PIP is paid every four weeks, this amounts to between £97.80 and £627.60 every pay period.
