Time to arrest the traitors first.
Our legitimate leaders need to find the strength of their convictions and perform their job: arresting the criminals openly committing treason.
they swore an oath to do this, and case law comes down real hard on helping traitors

Here's the alt-text for the image:
The image is a bright, digitally-created graphic with a vibrant, swirling pattern of colors. The dominant colors are pinks, purples, and blues, blended together in a nebula-like effect. There's a slight gradient from a darker purple on the left to a brighter pink on the right. In bold white text overlayed on the image reads: “Dear Thieves could you think of the files?” The font used is sans-serif, and the words are spaced evenly. The overall impression is a visually striking and playful composition.

'Scrapheap challenge' response to hotel blaze shows #IsleOfWight #fire service on brink of critical failure
The service was unable to initially send the right number of fire engines (three) due to the poor availability of appliances on the Island. Instead, it initially sent two, leaving just two fire engines available to cover the whole of the Island.The service was also unable to provide a second aerial ladder platform, again due to a lack of firefighters.
Island services were transferred to the mainland for cost savings. Unreliable ferry service to #IOW used in emergency to move mainland fire engines
