    I don’t know if this is real or not.

    If it is, she’s either got real dirt on Biden or she’s barking mad. After all the build-up, if she can’t deliver in court, her career’s in tatters and SHE could be facing time behind bars.

    If it’s just bluff and psy-ops, it’s very high stakes.

    Either way it’s funny.

      I think the ‘laptop’ evidence should be enough to impeach a ‘President’ Biden alone, but that would pave the way for his running mate.

      What a pair. When asked ‘tough’ questions one says “come on man!” and the other cackles and flutters her eyelashes. Meanwhile Jon Sopel wets his pants with pleasure.

        Biden won’t be impeached if the Dems hold either the House of Reps or the Senate. What we are seeing in the US is the power of the elite to ignore the democratically expressed choice of the people. It’s just the same as in Brexit, or in those countries which voted against changes to the EU constitution but had them imposed on them.
        So what is happening in the US isn’t new it’s just a more brazen abuse of power and surely confirms to anyone who still had lingering thoughts that they lived in democracies , that they certainly do not.
        The West clearly lives under a state funded oligarchy where around 10% of the population, politicians at all levels of government , billionaire globalist business men, civil servants , charity bosses , academics etc run the show to feather their own nests regardless of what the other 90% want or think. The billionaires are the ones sitting at the top of the pile, what they say goes.
        We live in the post democratic world and democracy is dead. Biden’s inauguration will be its last rights.

    • JimS says:

      “Why do we need “laws” to cut UK overseas expenditure ?”

      Because in recent years governments have created a fad of putting policy targets into law.

      A government that carries out its policy declarations doesn’t need to do this. All it does is remove the ability to be flexible in the face of unforseen events and to give its opponents plenty of weapons for ‘lawfare’.

      Imagine if Chamberlain had declared ‘peace in our time’ by putting through a ‘German Peace Act 1939’. Not only would we have been fighting the Germans but a whole pack of expensive lawyers declaring that it was illegal to defend ourselves.

      As for foreign aid:

      The Labour Government introduced the Draft International Development (ODA Target) Bill in the 2009-10 session of the last Parliament, which would write the 0.7% by 2013 target into UK law, and require this to be the minimum level of future aid spending.

      While such legislation could hold a future government to account and act as a restraint on breaking the 0.7% limit, punitive measures for missing the target are unlikely, and an International Development Select Committee report recommended measures to strengthen accountability and consideration of making all – not just DFID – aid focused on poverty reduction.

      Thus another reason is to attempt to tie the hands of future parliaments, something that breaks parliamentary tradition and democracy. What is the point of voting in a different government if it is bound by law to act in the same way? (This of course is why they love the EU and the ‘New Normal’).

    I switched over at the end of Miss Marple with the excellent Joan Hickson on Drama to see the tail end of the 10pm news on BBC1. I feel sorry for those people who have bought flats where the cost of removing the cladding is prohibitive. We weren’t told the political makeup of the parliamentary committee recommending that the government (or as I prefer to say, us the tax payers) pay for it all, but I assume Labour has a strong input.

    But the BBC gets to interview a couple in Salford who have been affected . To be fair we weren’t told they were a couple but it seemed very obvious. At the end of the interview the couple, the two men, walked away from the camera with their two dachshunds on leads. So predictable of the BBC to chose this couple but I still find the idea of two pet dogs in a flat without a garden pretty horrible.

    A letter written by Joe Biden — and published here for the first time — in the midst of British efforts to extradite a leading IRA man from the US has thrown fresh light on the Presidential candidate’s favourable disposition to Irish nationalism.

    Speaking to Belfastmedia.com this week, Joe Doherty said he recalled Senator Biden as the lead opponent of moves to amend the extradition treaty to enable him to be handed over to the British.

      I cannot believe how the media have completely controlled the narrative on Biden. All his ‘ unacceptable ‘ touching of young children – in plain sight. His ‘dodgy ‘dealings with Ukraine, which Ukraine are actually looking into now. The fact that he can not answer a question coherently. In fact at a press conference this week he was sarcastic to someone who dared to ask him a question. The fact that in his 47 years of polical life did plenty for his family but nothing for his country. He also used the ‘N’ word as recorded- could you imagine if Trump had used that awful word! Finally I have seen so much evidence of fraud in the recent election- not on MSM – building up against the Democrats but not one journalist has asked him to explain or comment. I just despair !

    Does anyone recall the endless spiteful yet joyful twitter and bbc comments about anything Trump may have remarked that was anything less than Presidential?

    see below for the new one (yet to be elected)

    Joe Biden clearly didn’t write the statement on Brexit and borders himself. Left to what remains of his own devices, Biden often rambles like a drunk on a park bench. On the same day that his handlers composed that communique from the virtual Biden, when asked about employment opportunities for veterans, the real Biden had a hot-mike flashback to the Fifties: ‘if you were a quartermaster, you can sure in hell take care runnin’ a, you know, department store, uh, thing, you know, where, in the second floor of the ladies department or whatever, you know what I mean?’

    Biden is not alone in directing his focus to a faraway country of which he knows nothing. Last week, Nancy Pelosi threatened that if the UK undermined the Good Friday Agreement, there would be ‘no chance’ of the House passing a US-UK free-trade deal. On the same day that Biden was ruminating on quartermasters in the ladies’ department, Boris Johnson received this same hard-border message in a letter from three senior Democratic Congressmen and one Republican, the IRA apologist turned Muslim-baiter Peter King.

    All of this is what Biden, a fifth-generation Irish American, would call ‘malarkey’. The Good Friday Agreement is constructively vague about borders. The British and Irish governments agreed only to demilitarisation, and that there should be ‘close co-operation’ on cross-border economic development. It is the European Union threatening to create a hard border in Ireland. Biden, Pelosi and the Congressmen should address their threats not to London, but to Brussels.

    Darcy – the irony is that if Biden gets power – his regime is going to get total support from the MSM whatever they do .

    But by the nature of things something will happen which even the MSM will not support – but switch to neutral / continue to blame President Trump .

    Even more so if biden has the “illness “ every one predicts .

    I can only assume that the MSM will hound President Trump out of office to cover up the sins of the Biden clan and his staff ….

    TOADY Watch #1 – Sackings? Resignations?

    The programme leads this morning with the waste of £10bn (estimated) of public (and National Health Service funds) in the PPE bungling of Department of Health’s Permanent Under-Secretary and the Director of Public Health (England). In the normal BBC way of things, if Matt Hancock had shouted at someone at the DoH or put his hand on the knee of a family friend who was a second or third rank journalist, the BBC would be shrieking for days for the PM to be sacking him or pestering him on air “Will you resign?” or “When are you going to resign?”.

    Today is there any such approach by the BBC to the Permanent Under-Secretary at the Department of Health? Today is there any such approach by the BBC to the Director of Public Health (England)?

    No.

    ‘Covid rules relaxed for Christmas. Three households can meet over five days. Scientists warn festive measures will cost lives’ (so reads this morning’s Times headline).

    Well, that’s put a complete dampener on the festivities. There we were thinking the only Christmas collateral casualty would be the Turkey.

    The Times, in recent times, has become a particularly distasteful rag, despite its historic pretentions. I blame PBSD (Post-Brexit Stress Disorder).

    Of course the newspaper that today portrays Ministers as endangering grandma by being too generous in relaxing the strict plague laws makes it to the number one spot in the BBC’s on-line press line up.

    The Times is not simply on a mission to ruin our Christmas. The Grinch does attempt to cheer its EU-loving readership with some humour: ‘From brat to wurst: Britain in EU sausage war’ – this is an unsourced (un-sauced?) report by Oliver Wright, Times Policy Editor, with all the familiar ‘coulds’ and ‘threatens’ of a classic Project Fear article. Our Oliver scoops up some crumbs from the Brexit negotiation table and cooks them up into a pot-luck hash. ‘The dispute could result in Irish sausages being taken off supermarket shelves…’ His aim here is to reverse the old joke in that vintage Yes Minister Common Market Sausage episode – funny because the gag reflected and exposed to ridicule a reality of decades of european protectionism – and spitefully turn the joke back on Brexiteers. ‘It also has the delicious irony of British trade negotiators telling Brussels that they intend to use the EU’s own rules to exact revenge on European producers’ – Yes Oliver, just as Brussels has exacted revenge on British industries and consumers for forty years.

    The Guardian is shameless, if not particularly precise in its Project Fear headline: ‘UK admits stark risk of big crisis after Brexit’ – I can’t be bothered to read on about this Big Crisis.

    Unfortunately, we’re sticking with the Times for: ‘Billions to help jobless as historic economic rebound predicted’

    To which I will counter with a headline from the FT: ‘Hard-hitting ONS report find Britons understand little about economics’

    The Times puff piece on our debt laden economic outlook has three bylines. I note just one of the three has the title of Economics Editor whilst the two-thirds majority have the word Political in their job title. Enough said.

    To be fair, not all journos are cringing crony-capitalist painfully woke anti-Brexiteers. One brave soul is Suzanne Moore who gives her ‘First interview’ in the Telegraph: ‘I was bullied for saying women should not be silenced’

    Our Suzanne is the former Guardian writer whose fellow guardian-sistas wanted to burn as a witch for failing to tow their latest Trans line. She found herself bullied out of a job because she stood up for free speech, difference of opinon and the rights of actual women.

    Kudos to another female journo unafraid of the wokerati – Dawn Neesom in the Star: ‘Do not let Begum back’

    Meanwhile a feature on the frontpage of the Times has fashion reporter Anna Murphy: ‘Over 50 and flaunting it’

    I’m going a little autobiographical here. I feel as though I grew up in a transitional period. Whilst I was at school first marbles and then conckers were banned in the playground. My mind turns to this early seeding of the notion of paternalistic (maternalistic?) official health and safety culture, prompted by a couple of rather headmasterly (headmistressy?) annoucements in the Telegraph: ‘Teenagers prohibited from using airguns’ and ‘Councils awarded new powers to close shops’

    And finally: ‘Police to investigate bushtucker TV stunts’ (Guardian), because, as the Sun explains: ‘Welsh cops probe invasion of the Celeb cockroachs… non-native I’m A Celebrity bugs are invading Wales’

    Well, the closing mic drop gag is obvious – best of luck to the plod with finding those cockroaches, our police do bugger all to investigate non-native people invading Britain.

      Just how stupid do these frauds think we are? This is getting very dangerous. Why would you need an untested mRNA vaccine for a virus that doesn’t exist? Even Pfizer et al admit the trials have not even been set up to prove the vaccine can a) prevent infection b) prevent transmission.
      Isn’t it funny how you have never heard anyone talk about how the virus was isolated and the experiments that have been carried out to prove how ‘deadly’ it is? I’ve met no one over the last year who has even been ill let alone die from anything. Strange for a ‘deadly’ pandemic.

      Here’s convincing evidence it is a total fraud , a trojan horse to accelerate the implementation of Agenda 21, aka the Great Reset.

      Would this woman be able to respond to the disturbing issues raised in this article? Has she read ANY of the ‘scientific’ papers that have been published proving a) the virus has been isolated and biochemically characterised and b) the virus, if it exists, can be transmitted between humans and shown to cause the symptoms they claim it does (just about everything including heart attacks and being knocked over by a car)?
      I doubt it.
      Of course the whole house of cards collapses when you analyse the origins of the Drosten et al RT-PCR test.

He is in effect putting pressure on the UK to agree a deal. Of course, the pro-EU BBC will not see it like that but that is the effect of that little interference.

      Oh the burglar was non-white
      The homeowner is black
      The TV corp would have buried the story if the homeowner was white.

      But you won’t find any bad black people in TV programs now. Mostly they are falsely accused by racist whites then are instrumental in catching the real villain (whitey) near the end.
      Even the most unlikely situations have that same story now. Even one of my (ex) favourites Father Brown was been contaminated.

    Jordan Peterson is trending due to Canada employees being triggered at the announcement of his forthcoming book for March 2021

    @andrewdoyle_com said
    If you think Jordan Peterson is “far right” then you either haven’t read his work or haven’t understood it.
    If you start crying because he’s written a book, & call for it to be cancelled, you’re not behaving like an adult.
    In either case, you shouldn’t be working in publishing.

    Post-Brexit trade deals going well, fisheries protection signed into law yesterday, Team Trump with all the legal apparatus and the evidence of leftist corruption…and now more signs that the BBC’s grip on the narrative is falling apart thanks in large part to presenting a direct distortion of the facts in 90% of their output.

    2020’s been a terrible year, but it may be about to be the ‘great reset’ – not the one promoted by the global elite, but one of a populist resurgence.

      The number 1 thing Brexit and Trump have achieved for me is to make the Left so desperate, they abandoned all attempts to hide their true selves and showed the world what they really are.
      I have been astounded at what nasty, spiteful, deceitful liars they are who have no conscience or shame about what they are prepared to do to get what they want.
      Now I understand why their history is so dispicable in places where they didn’t have to hide it. The genie is out of the bottle for me and can never go back in.

    The Sussex’s suffered a miscarriage during the summer. Any child lost is a tragedy. However, she’s not the first and wont be the last, – but writing an all revealing article about it in the NYT brings out the actress in the Duchess, ensuring the couple keep in the spotlight, and promoting sympathy rather than the negative reports they have instilled on themselves. Zara Phillips her cousin by marriage, has suffered two miscarriages in the past, and there was barely a mention, quite rightly keeping it private.

    The article tells us (as only Americans can put it so syrupy) to be kind and help one another. Pity she cant do that with her own Dad then, who hasn’t even seen his first grandchild.

    Then a list of 18 tick boxes of which you pick 3
    – The first one is Immigration (I guess they know most will tick this)
    – Then Brexit
    – The Animal Welfare
    – Tackling Racism was the last box

    Then 3 “How you vote ?”
    Then next instead of asking you more details about your concerns,
    the next page moves on to “how can you help us ..deliver leaflets etc.”

    The chancellor has announced that the overseas give away budget is to be cut from 0.7 to 0.5 percent of national product – which knocks off a couple of billion pounds but still gives away £10 billion of borrowed taxpayer money .

    We shouldnt be giving it at all . If people wanna buy coloured babies or save donkeys let charities do it .

    You can be sure that the BBc will home in on this small cut …

      Add to that he made sure we knew they would be breaking the law doing this (0.7% legal) and there will be challenges in the COMMONS ahead.

        The attempt to sabotage Boris by the Lefties who hid outside his flat and recorded the argument told me everything I needed to know about Ms Symonds : it was all her screaming at him for spilling wine while he told her to calm down. Though the shameless Left tried to say he beat her !.

      OT but we had a brace of pheasant this week from our excellent local butcher. As we do every year around this time.
      Pheasant. With those connotations of landed gentry and toffs.

      Errrr…….no. A brace cost £8.

      We had six superb portions. Works out at £1.33 per portion.
      Well within the budget of those with free school meal vouchers.

      Fed, wish I could remember the name of the chap who spoke very eloquently and insightfully about that UK Foreign Aid commitment many years ago.

      Think he may have been a Civil Servant at one time, maybe even ex-F&CO, and he spoke on BBC R4 probably about eight to twelve years ago. He may have even writtent a book or written for our UK broadsheets on the subject. His basic premise was that too much of the aid the UK gives is either wasted in unnecessary schemes or is siphoned off by corrupt officials in the recipient countries.

      He said specific trades with specific areas in poorer countries were much better at raising people out of poverty. He may or may not have cited the deals made between UK flower importers and the growers in Kenya.
