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?
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.
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 tarien, do you have your own blog? You are coming up with some excellent comments some of which maybe deserve a thread of their own (e.g. comparison between OAP and Asylum seekers support).
Hi BOBOTC, thank you, appreciate some of what I submit often is off actual bias however, there are so few sites where one might drive ones discontented issues. No I don’t have a blog-appear to suggest I should have one-suppose I had better look into it. Any ideas?
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.
EG, amazing … the BBC was certain on R4 that the warehouse full of Ammonium Nitrate in Beirut spontaneously exploded …. but haven’t pinned the Navalny poisoning on a (there are others – it is a collective name) Novichock administered by Vladimir Putin himself.
No deal enough on return of investment for him, besides it does not match his world power issue. He controls with other Central Banks most of what goes down in the European Union, that is why his lackey Barnier is making such a pigs ear of his stutterings against the UK.

That piece by Craig over at our friends’ site is – in itself – a better piece of journalism than youd find on the BBC ….
……,.. but then again thr drowned character was just one of the thousands trying it on.
His planning ability made him an ideal candidate for a place on SAGE or NHS procurement ( which is a misnoma)
Note; BBC editorial integrity, and career advancement, means when there is not time or space in a piece that could go on as long as the author wanted, know what to put in. And leave out
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.
But the Mail is only interested in two ex-royal knobs , living in some plastic drum out west.
Normal people couldn’t really give a flying faquar what they do, so why the Mail thinks it sells rags, is beyond my comprehension!
I think that when I go to Waitrose tomorrow (Senora O’Blene has requested a special lunchtime purchase, and I’ll go on my electric bike), I’ll get ‘The Times’ and be utterly bored instead!
May have to use the panniers, as ‘The Times’ uses up quite a lot of unsustainable wood pulp, but there you go, so does the BBC, buying thousands of ‘Guardians’ every day…
I only buy the Daily Mail on Tuesday because of Littlejohn. But if its got Megan on the front page, I buy the Express. If the Express has got Megan on the front page, I buy the Telegraph. If the Telegraph has Megan on the front page, I buy a local paper.
Its like Diana in the 1980’s. Megan and Diana only want to be left alone. So if Diana was on the front page of the Sun, then I buy the Daily Star, but if Diana was on the front page of the Daily Star, then I buy the Today newspaper, etc & etc.
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.
Not picked up by the Beeb just yet, but only a matter of time….
Fair point Mr Liddle makes about the disconnect between what ordinary British people think and what the likes of the BBC and ‘woke ‘ industry think ….
In my local supermarket someone left the freezer door open where they keep the Ben and Jerry’s – 2 for 1 ….. and if there’s a shortage of bacon – look in the halal section ( no not me )
Of course Highate near Hampstead so even more BBC.
I was mixing it up with the park near Brixton
where I used to live, I used to go to acting workshops in Highgate.
A lot of helicopter activity, including the yellow/blue Police helicopters, in north Kent today, started late morning and has been building up since then. Could be RTAs on the motorway & A roads to the coast or troubles at sea in the blustery conditions or, possibly, some criminality happening in the sunshine.
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 ….

I mean presenter Fergal Keane OBE, Order of the British Empire
The prog first aired 5 weeks ago
so it’s weird its still being aired
@CliveMyrieBBC presents episode #1
“How the Toxic Legacy of Empire Still Affects Us”
… loaded language or what ?
The irony is that the BBC is the cornerstone of the new colonial masters the metroliberal London woke-supremacists that rule over all our lives in the UK now.
"Racism and statues: How the toxic legacy of empire still affects us" The BBC want all (white) British People to be ASHAMED of being British Ashamed of their country, their past, their culture. Ashamed of themselves I am PROUD of Britain. I despise the BBChttps://t.co/mRh2z0BLOv
— Free Speech Matters (@OutragedMary) July 7, 2020
Fergal Keane is a traitor to the United Kingdom, and throughout his miserable career has continually down trodden anything of any real value this nation has achieved in the world and for the good of the world. He will cling to and pull apart all good, apeasing the gullable and unsuspecting with his duplicity. No doubt you have got the message that I not like the fellow!
Latest news not on the BBC. Queen still reigns over a hundred territories, comprising over, ten and a third million square miles, of the Commonwealth Realms. Including the Trump Islands, Newfoundland, and the Trump Islands, British Antarctic Territory.
AFAIK the new Netflix promotion/paedo poster and the original French film are two different things
The film apparently being aimed at saying adults sexualising young girls is bad thing.
Those that wish to stop young girls expressing any sexuality are Islamic extremists.
Folk doing journalism journalists don’t do is fascinating (unverified).
So exactly how credible is the story of Boris' aborted cottage holiday in Scotland, which the Daily Mail allegedly ruined by covertly photographing the location?
I think I can answer that question with just three images. /1
Fingers being pointed up here at Ian Blackford, whose constituency it is, letting Boris’s whereabouts be known. A long shot, but I wonder if this is a Cummings set up to bring Blackford down. Blackford would almost certainly have known the Prime Minister was there and Cummings may have been banking on Blackford’s inability to keep his mouth shut.
Ian Blackford claims he had nothing to do with exposing the location of Boris Johnson's holiday in Wester Ross.
Scotland was the most welcoming country in the world. That a British PM – or indeed anyone at all – might feel unsafe here is more mortifying and heartbreaking than I can say.
‘Lickspittle’? It’ll be ‘Titoist’ next. Or possibly even ‘Imperialist spy’ or ‘cosmopolitan tool of the Zionists’. In 2017 this person was elected as a Labour MP. Amazing. https://t.co/FqonbjufjJ

Try using absolute numbers rather than % . It might surprise you. Take one example if knife crime in a shire county goes up from one to two that is a 100% increase. Only the absolute numbers really count. London has the most by far.
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?
Why is Al Beeb not reporting all the News ?

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.
“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.
Yes there was the news an then Paddy went into his sneery language against the Tories.
10 years ago I used to be a regular listener
and then it became infected with the sneery cancer & HATE that effects BBC comedy.

(5) All of the above

*** but not too black, mixed race with frizzy hair is preferred
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?
Experience in the relevant business is pretty low down the requirements these days. It may take some time, but simple economics will eventually deal with the companies who are more interested in choosing the correct skin tone or genital credentials.
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.
The BBC is discussing whether to drop Rule Britannia and Land of Hope and Glory from the Last Night of the Proms in the wake of the Black Lives Matter movement. https://t.co/ZH3eeNIkJ8
Yes – of course they should be dropped – and there should be no ‘last night ‘ either – it should end on the ‘penultimate Night ‘ .
Or maybe there should be no Proms at all …. it can be replaced by the forth coming “history of Slavery “ – a 13 part series featuring various coloured types wondering around their favourite bits of the planet saying ‘bad whitee – where’s my handout ?”
I think the BBC will get one of those ‘Caribbean’ oil drum outfits in ( the type they put on at the end of the Marr show to get the coloured face numbers up ) to do a ‘diverse ‘ land of hope …. Whilst ‘taking the knee ‘ to an effigy of Doreen Lawrence ….

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.

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?

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 ?

“ 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 ….

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?
