    The leading banking dynasties that have so kindly lent the UK loads of money during this Plague time, have globally used a financial debt creating mechanism, along with their excessive use of usury, to put nations, communities and families into unsustainable levels of unlawful debt. And with severe debt, of course, comes ruthless, top down Orwellian corporate control and, in many cases, blatant corporate theft. So where will the UK stand after its £billions of borrowing?
    In Britain, there is the black art of money creation which has serious ramifications for the humble taxpayer. When the bankers have created their fresh air money and this ‘nothingness’ is then lent to HM Treasury in return for bonds (IOU notes), the British taxpayers then have to find the money to pay the interest on this ‘nothingness’. Don’t let us be fooled that we can borrow the amount we have and not pay for it. The question is when will the grim reaper come for his money?

      Tarien.

      If we go into negative interest rates, as some think we might (some might say…) does that mean the banks have to pay you interest if they lend you money.

      Will credit cards still charge you 40% interest?
      Where will interest rates go when inflation gets to 4-5%
      Or, is it only savers who get hit with negative interest rates.

      Of course, we all know the answers to the above.

      By the way, have they found out what flavour the Russian opposition’s tea was, Plutonium flavour or Novichok flavour.
      Maybe a new flavour this time, Ebola or good old Black death flavour for the nostalgic amongst us.
      You would think with all their resources they would come up with a better way of killing off those they don’t like.

        Good job I have got two Gold coins bought in the 1980’s.

        £450 each on eBay last time I looked. I could be a billionaire soon.

          Richard It will be like Germany pre-WW2 when you needed a barrow filled with notes to buy a loaf of bread-in other words WORTHLESS. Concerned, worried, anxious, feeling uncomfortable about the nations future? I should dam well say we are. Now thousands of illegal immigrants occupying luxury hotels at the tax payers expence-yes I have seen recent videos of these mostly Islamic individuals occupying such hotels in Birmingham and Essex particularly. Yet there are still British ex military personnel sleeping rough-words are cheap as they say-ears have been closed by the Government so it would appear to such hardship, yet they would rather accommadate these illegals in luxury who have provided not one ounce of anything to this nation and unlikely to. Hang on to your Gold coins Richard Pinder you will need them sooner than you thought!

                Hi, I haven’t looked into it but was thinking of maybe starting my own blog if I found time to get started. I have visited other peoples blogs on wordpress so wordpress looks like a place to start. I have also seen people start their own “youtube channel” – there is a guy here who has one – he draws politically motivated cartoons, but that requires creating video and audio rather than just text and images.

                  Yes know of WordPress, it was back a few years when I was an absolute beginner with such complicated mechanisms-a little better now, so I might try again, but my writing takes a lot of my time-no matter how good, one has to edit and edit again. Getting published in fiction which my genre is, is very very difficult no matter how good the subject matter of the writing-if you already have a know name, be it in any of the media outlets or sport then you are more than half way there. Anyway good luck and let us know how you get on.

    From the ITBB OT.

    Arthur T

    Jon Sopel has been given an unlimited budget to produce a website extravaganza: ‘Were these the three hours that upset Trump’s campaign?

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/extra/58ewrgxuoa/us-election-2020-donald-trump

    The clue to Jon’s bias is of course the question mark. Without that the story reads: ‘these were the three hours that upset Trump’s campaign’. Ditto from Zurcher yesterday: ‘DNC 2020: Did Joe Biden succeed in making his case?’ Again without the question mark – ‘DNC 2020: Joe Biden succeeded in making his case’

    Rhetorical questions the both, to be answered in the affirmative. This is biased reporting BBC, of the highest order.

    #questionasaheadline is now pervasive across the entire MSM when a bit of backside covering is required, just in case, but the BBC has turned it into a dark art form.

    American Booty and his BS will likely win many awards.

      GW,
      I just hope that this time round, someone, somewhere, is compiling a montage of important snippets of those in condemnation of DJT on the basis of their, “facts” including the current polls that will be contrary to DJT’s eventual success. Just like the expressions on the BBC ‘Team’ when the results of the EU Referendum came in and which, people like me can play over and over again. One massive slap in the face for non-believing deceitful Commies.

      I saw that headline on the BBC’s news page and immediately suspected the hand of Jon “Ouch” Sopel. And on that basis declined to read it. Or indeed any of their myriad social justice agitating articles.

      Though I see Mr Sopel has graduated to slightly longer words, if still from the usual political direction.

    I see Manchester’s answer to Sadiq Khan, Andy Burnham in his latest rant has now criticised the Government for the failure in test and trace for the rise in coronavirus cases in his area.He apparently says that people can’t afford to self isolate. Nothing to do with social gatherings in large numbers or other matters then ? This follows on from his idea to take legal action against Ofqual. He obviously still believes he is in some sort of powerful government position.
    So that seems fine then, if you can’t afford to, please throw common sense in the bin, be selfish and carry on socialising.

    From the BBC website

    Were these the three hours that upset the trump campaign ?
    By Jon sopel – and it goes on and on and on and on . I read a few paragraphs – but you can see that Sopel wants the world the way he sees it and writes it that way .

    I’m trying to think how Sopel will take a President Trump victory ?

    I suppose they’ll go into low turn out – or ‘weird ‘ voting systems – or someone bought the election – Russians again – or it was a ‘bitter campaign ‘ based on ‘lies ‘ –

    You take your pick on which one of Sopel s views you take .

    On the other hand – if Biden wins – or turns out to be just a demented puppet of the ‘bitter wimmin brigade ‘ then Sopel will talk about
    ‘The end of the nightmare “
    Or
    ‘The American people getting their sanity back “
    Or
    ‘Business as usual ‘

    In any event it will be a victory for politics and all will be happiness in BBC towers . And there will be tears ….

    But there’s a bit of me that thinks maybe the same will happen in the states that happened here . That a large – quiet constituency – see what the MSM and the ‘woke ‘ have been doing – the violence they have created – and gives them the first true chance to kick them in the teeth ….

            Maxi, your beloved BBC produced this on the subject last year:

            https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-42749089

            Ten charts on the rise of knife crime

            The ONLY relevant chart really is the one labelled:

            Regional variation in knife crime offences
            Knife offences per 100,000 people by region, England and Wales, year ending March 2019

            Note how London has more than TWICE the rate of knife crimes PER CAPITA of ANY other region.

            My home region (SW) has less than a quarter of the rate per capita as London, which is interesting, Wales, South, and South East England are all similar.

            Another thing which would be interesting (but, which you’d probably consider ‘waycist’) is what ethnic groups were committing these ‘knife related offences’. Oddly enough, that’s not one of the ’10 charts’, is that because it’s:

            a. Not relevant as all ethnic groups are roughly equal?
            b. Distorted by the much higher percentage of white people in the population?
            or
            c. Goes against the BBC’s agenda?

    True answer , how about – Because our Liberal Government is not trying to stop them?
    What secret deal has Tweezer or BoJo signed with France or the EU to let the illegal queue jumpers in ?
    Remember its us tax payers that are funding the luxury 4 star accommodation for these criminals while our own people have far less a grand life style. Ex-Forces men sleeping in the streets and pensioners living on a pittance although they have worked hard all their lives and paid taxes. There are genuine asylum seeker that wait patiently in the queue following stringent checks to get in to the UK while these crooks get in before them. What is our Civil Service up to ?
    This Liberal government got into power under false pretences . Remember that when you vote next.
    Remember that you Tory MPs when you next face your constituents.
    Remember that Al Beeb as your funds are falling.

    ‘Oradour-sur-Glane: Uproar after France Nazi massacre site vandalised’

    Barks the headline. I knew it. I just knew I shouldn’t ever go back to its website but curiosity got the better of me. This is what happens when you apply woke ways of describing things instead of simply describing them in a way that we can all understand.

    Disregarding the vandalism that took place, which was shameful, what on earth does that headline mean?? It’s utter nonsense.

    Even if you replace the ‘Nazi’ with ‘Germany’, to follow ‘France’ it would still read incorrectly.

    Argghhh!!!!

      “massacre site vandalised” On Wikipedia it says that it was vandalised on 10 June 1944, after the massacre in the church by national socialists. So that was during a previous German presidency of a united Europe.

    From the telegraph on the selection of a new coloured female chairman ( my prediction )

    “ Speaking to the Telegraph on Saturday, a Government source said: “There is a considerable concern around impartiality and objectivity. It’s not that the BBC is left-wing and Labour supporting, it clearly isn’t.

    “But lots of people think its news programmes seem only to be interested in picking holes in the Government or digging up embarrassing quotes.

    “They are far less interested in listening to what ministers have to say than trying to trip them up in a way that is not entirely relevant.

    “The job of the Today programme is not to chase headlines, but to ask probing questions. Newsnight is no better. It’s a relatively recent trend.”

    Worrying words . I still don’t think the £4 a month I pay for the Telegraph is well spent money ….

    Now Paddy O’Connell tries to get Gavin Williamson to resign on R4. A typical Paddy hatchet job, maximum attack on the ‘exam fiasco’ to keep the Labour/bbc narrative alive. Lord Kerslake is supposed to help with both.
    Sunday is always a special day for undisguised lefty/Labour attacks
    on government. Think Mark Mardell at lunch or Carolyn Quinn tonight on the Westminster Hour.
    Paddy did manage to find Edwina Curry to have a slightly different point of view, to show how balanced his programme is.
    Chris Grayling is also under attack from Paddy.
    The theme is the ‘kindergarten cabinet’. We can guess that Labour would be the mature version for Paddy. Ha ha. Ha Ha. Ha Ha, ha ha ha ha!
    Paddy says he may return to discuss this with his ‘guests’, later on.

      It does make me wonder why on earth this particular woman has been made the new Chairperson of one of the great British bastions of the retail fashion and food outlet markets. As far as I can judge this lady has never had any real experience of the type of John Lewis retail business. Mostly working in the civil service in Treasury areas, worked in no 10 Downing Street in the Blair governments periods, later for the World Bank as director general at the Department for International Development, then Ministry of Justice, then Dept of Work and Pensions. Mainly all her experience has been in the financial sector but no major multiple retail experience at all, yet she is now the Chairperson of John Lewis? My father-in-law was the for many years the Chief Internal Auditor of JL and brought JL into the modern computer age, don’t know what he would think now if he were alive. We shall see what happens, but not just a woman which is fine but a coloured one to boot- are we being given a message here? The BBC et al will of course enjoy this promotion at a salary of £ 990,000 per annum, yes you read it correctly-just incomprehensible for an organisation that is struggling. So those employees are going to have to work very hard to pay that woman’s salary, time will tell whether she is worth it?

        The company will not survive in it’s current form for long now. Nothing to do with who runs it but it is out of date and becoming irrelevant. The food section will last a bit longer but it’s quality edge is going and the prices are too high .We use the local farm shop now and it is better priced and better food. .The rest of John Lewis should liquidate now and save a lot of heartache. These dodo companies cannot move into the internet age. The new companies are so much better at it.
