Shocking moment man cycles with child on his back merely gripping his neck - before biking the WRONG way through roundabout
This is the shocking moment a man in Northern Ireland was captured cycling on a road with a child strapped to his neck before riding the wrong way through a roundabout. Footage shows the unknown adult male cycling on Springfield Road in west Belfast while a small child clings onto him. The video also shows the pair going around a roundabout in the wrong direction, while a separate vehicle can be seen on the road driving close to them. The shocking clip has been circulating on social media and has sparked outrage among viewers, who have condemned the man for riding on a bike with a child in an unsafe manner. 'A rally should be held against this idiot!!', one X user wrote. Another called the man a 'headcase' for putting the child in danger. 'What a could have been killed,' a third wrote. The Police Service of Northern Ireland has said that they are aware of the footage and are investigating the incident. 'We are aware of a video circulating social media of an adult and a child cycling in an unsafe manner in the Springfield Road area of the city,' they said. 'If anyone has any information, or any further dashcam footage please contact us on 101 quoting serial number CC2025052901396'. MailOnline has reached out to the PSNI for comment. The clip comes a year after a father sparked outrage among doctors and social media users after a video appeared to show him swinging his infant around in the air. The 35-second video seemingly showed the dad performing acrobatic-like stunts with his child, swinging the baby by the arms back and forth, over his head and between his legs. Social media users were quick to criticise the stunt, noting not only the danger to his baby's joints but also the risk of brain injury. It also could have resulted in dropping the baby, potentially killing him. The video was captioned 'A bond between father and child', but thousands of viewers remarked that it appeared more like child abuse. Physicians were also rattled by the video. They said lifting a baby by the arms with no back support can result in a pulled elbow, in which the elbow joint dislocates the lower arm. It can also lead to a traumatic brain injury, possibly from the brain shaking back and forth in the skull, and if the baby were to be dropped on its head. Dr Stuart Fischer, an internal medicine doctor and former pediatrician in an emergency department, said: 'I would assume legally and morally that the infant should have a CAT scan or MRI. 'And that might not even show microscopic brain injury.' The action of swinging your baby back and forth can lead to shaken baby syndrome, a severe head injury caused by the baby's brain rebounding back and forth in his skull. It causes brain bruising and swelling, and possibly cerebral hemorrhage. It's not clear how old the baby is, but his approximate age could be less than one year. At that point, the baby's skull has not completely closed around the brain and hardened, protecting it from impact. Between 1,000 and 3,000 babies suffer from shaken baby syndrome each year in the US, and one-fourth of them die. Eighty percent of them suffer permanent damage to their brains. Shaken baby syndrome can cause severe effects long-term, such as cerebral palsy, blindness, hearing loss, learning disabilities, seizures, paralysis, and death. It can occur with just five seconds of shaking, and 35 seconds is likely to do far more damage.

Give them the sack! Lynx's ad for 'lower body spray' shows men sniffing each other's crotches as baffled Brits ask 'who came up with this?'
A new advert for Lynx's latest product has left viewers furious, with many branding the short clip 'disgusting', 'tasteless' and 'nothing short of perversion'. The ad, promoting the French brand's new Lower Body Spray, shows a young basketball player dousing his crotch area with the spray before leaping mid-air to net the ball. As he does this, his groin comes uncomfortably close to a fellow player's face - who then appears to take a long, contented sniff around his nether regions. While the awkward scenario leaves the sprayed man visibly disturbed, his teammate looks positively delighted in the 10-second commercial that has sparked outrage online. Lynx's ad ends with a product shot of the spray that is available in two scents, with the bizarre advert playing on TV and in some cinemas in the UK. Although Lynx has turned off comments under the original YouTube upload, viewers left uncomfortable by the promo took to social media to express their disapproval. 'Who the f**k comes up with these adverts? Saw this in the cinema last night WTF,' fumed one user on X, formerly known asTwitter. Another exclaimed: 'BRAAAH WHAT IS THIS LYNX LOWER BODY SPRAY ADVERT.' The bizarre sniffing scene struck many as wildly inappropriate, especially when viewed in a public setting. One person shared: 'Just saw the Lynx Lower Body Spray advert… What the hell? 'Not once has a man walked past me in the cinema and I've felt the need to sniff his a**e crack and follow him past the seats.' Another wrote: 'Actually losing my brain over the fact that Lynx has made a "lower body spray" for men. 'They're literally saying, without saying it, that men's a** and ba**s stink because they don't wash properly.' A third condemned the ad, writing: 'Lynx Lower Body Spray ads are f**king tasteless disgusting trash.' MailOnline has contacted Lynx for comment. Another added: 'For the love of God, Lynx have people smelling private parts in their latest advert.' One particularly incredulous viewer asked: 'When you told the actors in your lower body spray ads that they'd be sniffing each other's bits…?' But perhaps the harshest criticism came from one X user who raged: 'Whoever thought of that needs the sack. 'Whoever thought that that advert would be a good thing and signed it off needs the sack. 'Sniffing strangers c**ks and a** on an advert is nothing short of perversion. Madness but in the modern world not a surprise.' Although the advert was perceived negatively by most, it remains unclear whether it will knock the men's beloved deodorant brand off its pedestal. Indeed, the scent has famously won over the hearts of many, and even roused one person from a coma. A schoolboy, who had been in a three-week coma woke up after his mother brought his favourite Lynx deodorant into intensive care. A few years ago, Kacper Krauze, then 13, got into difficulty while paddling with friends in the River Eden, Cumbria. Unable to swim, he ended up completely submerged in the freezing water for 25 minutes, according to witnesses. Many viewers were immediately outraged, rushing to X to express their vehement disapproval His lifeless body was eventually pulled from the river by emergency services, when medics from the Great North Air Ambulance worked to restart his heart. He was brought back to life on the way to hospital, but was fighting for his life in a coma after being starved of oxygen because of his ordeal. It wasn't until his mother, Wioletta Krauze, brought the deodorant he used every day into the intensive care unit that Kacper woke up. Mrs Krauze of Appleby, Cumbria, said: 'It was a miracle. 'We had tried everything to wake him up. A nurse had suggested I bring in some of his toiletries to wash him with. 'As soon as I spayed the Lynx, he opened his eyes immediately. He must have remembered that was his favourite smell. 'He has always absolutely loved Lynx and he still wears it to this day. 'We had tried so hard to get him to wake up from his coma. We had played music, we had spent hours talking to him.' Mrs Krauze added: 'But in the end it was the Lynx which did it. I just couldn't believe it.

White House pressures Starmer over Lucy Connolly case
Connolly expressed her outrage on social media platform X hours after Axel Rudakubana murdered three girls at a Taylor Swift-themed holiday club in Southport. She posted: 'Mass deportation now, set fire to all the f---ing hotels full of the b------s for all I care, while you're at it, take the treacherous government politicians with them. I feel physically sick knowing what these [Southport] families will now have to endure. If that makes me racist, so be it.' Connolly deleted the post less than four hours later, but by then it had been viewed 310,000 times. She was arrested on Aug 6 following widespread riots across the country over the stabbing attack, and later jailed for 31 months. Connolly, who has no previous convictions, also sent another tweet commenting on a sword attack, which read: 'I bet my house it was one of these boat invaders.' Last week, the Court of Appeal judges said they did not accept that the original sentence for inciting racial hatred was 'manifestly excessive'. The judges also said they did not accept that Connolly had entered her guilty plea without fully understanding what it entailed. Robert Jenrick, the shadow justice secretary, said: 'In recent months, shoplifters with hundreds of prior convictions have avoided prison. A domestic abuser with 52 prior offences got off with just a suspended sentence, as did a paedophile with 110,000 indecent images of children. 'And yet Lucy Connolly has received a 31-month prison sentence for an appalling – albeit hastily deleted – message on social media. How on earth can you spend longer in prison for a tweet than violent crime? This crazy disparity will only fuel perception that we have a two-tier justice system where the law is enforced selectively.' Nigel Farage, the Reform UK leader and an ally of Mr Trump, said: 'Our American Republican friends seem to care more about free speech in the United Kingdom than our own Government.' 'The North Korea of the North Sea' Lord Young, the general secretary of the Free Speech Union, which helped fund Connolly's appeal, said: 'This is the third national humiliation in a week under Sir Keir Starmer's premiership. Has it really come to this? That the US government now has to monitor human rights abuses in the United Kingdom? 'Britain is rapidly becoming the North Korea of the North Sea.' Sir Keir has been forced to defend Britain's record of free speech in recent months, which has become a point of tension with Trump administration officials. During his meeting in the Oval Office in February, the Prime Minister claimed there had been free speech 'for a very, very long time in the UK, and it will last for a very, very long time… Certainly we wouldn't want to reach across US citizens, and we don't, and that's absolutely right. But in relation to free speech in the UK, I'm very proud of our history there,' he said. In a speech at the Munich security conference in February, JD Vance, the US vice-president, cited British pro-life campaigner Adam Smith-Connor, who was convicted for breaching a buffer zone outside an abortion clinic, suggesting 'free speech in Britain and across Europe was in retreat'. No case has raised concerns in Washington more than the prosecution of Livia Tossici-Bolt, an anti-abortion campaigner whose case threatened to jeopardise Sir Keir's trade deal with the United States. The 64-year-old praised the Trump administration for its support after she was handed a two-year conditional discharge and ordered to pay £20,026 in costs for breaching a buffer zone around an abortion clinic in Bournemouth. Her case alarmed leaders within the US state department, which made the highly unusual step of warning Sir Keir that it was 'monitoring' developments closely. At the time, a source familiar with trade negotiations insisted Ms Tossici-Bolt's arrest was being considered amid Britain's attempt to win an exemption from US tariffs, saying 'no free trade without free speech'.
