~Surprise, surprise! After three weeks of trolling about “Taliban 2.0”, the new regime in Afghanistan turns out to be, as I said last week, “an ‘inclusive’ government encompassing both mullahs with full beards and mullahs with three-quarter-length beards”. Or as The New York Times puts it:
Taliban Appoint Stalwarts to Top Government Posts
Stalwart? Yes, the memo’s gone out from Lamestream Media Central. My old chums at The Irish Times:
Taliban Name New Afghanistan Cabinet That Rewards Stalwarts
One man’s stalwart is another man’s mass murderer. For example, the new Interior Minister is Sirajuddin Haqqani, whose main experience of the Afghan interior is the last twenty years he’s spent blowing various bits of it sky-high. Mr Haqqani is on the FBI’s Most Wanted list with a $10 million bounty on his head.
2018 …. The EU plans to send 10,000 more border guards to tackle unlawful immigration by 2020, the European Commission’s president Jean-Claude Juncker said in his annual state of the union address.
He called for more solidarity, rather than “ad-hoc solutions” for people on migrant ships.
His speech also tackled the region’s other burning issues – populism, terrorism and Brexit.

But to trace out the history of the whole period, to say who was fighting whom at any given moment, would have been utterly impossible, since no written record, and no spoken word, ever made mention of any other alignment than the existing one. At this moment, for example, in 1984 (if it was 1984), Oceania was at war with Eurasia and in alliance with Eastasia. In no public or private utterance was it ever admitted that the three powers had at any time been grouped along different lines. Actually, as Winston well knew, it was only four years since Oceania had been at war with Eastasia and in alliance with Eurasia. But that was merely a piece of furtive knowledge which he happened to possess because his memory was not satisfactorily under control. Officially the change of partners had never happened. Oceania was at war with Eurasia: therefore Oceania had always been at war with Eurasia. The enemy of the moment always represented absolute evil, and it followed that any past or future agreement with him was impossible.
The frightening thing, he reflected for the ten thousandth time as he forced his shoulders painfully backward (with hands on hips, they were gyrating their bodies from the waist, an exercise that was supposed to be good for the back muscles) — the frightening thing was that it might all be true. If the Party could thrust its hand into the past and say of this or that event, it never happened — that, surely, was more terrifying than mere torture and death? https://orwell.ru/library/novels/1984/english/en_p_1
This site is a great place to go to check if there are any sane people left in the country. Its original aim of highlighting the extreme bias of the BBC was and remains a noble one. The site also allows views to be posted which are contradictory to the liberal establishment view that is so relentlessly pushed by the BBC et al. As such it is an increasingly rare outlet on which to express the incomprehension and bafflement that many users feel as they see the country going to the dogs.

The Times is reporting that the BBC is set to appoint the left-wing former editor of HuffPost Jess Brammar as Head of News. This appointment will be seen by many as a challenge to the claim that the BBC is an impartial news organisation…
Our present Home Secretary is very fond of adopting a strong stance on immigration; they all do it. Blimey, even David Blunkett came out with this sort of spiel…
There’s never been a government elected on the manifesto promise, “We’re going to let absolutely everybody in. Indeed, even those coming illegally will be escorted to our shores and put up (at your expense) in four star hotels.”
No one would vote for such insanity, but that’s what we’ve got…
I sometimes feel a bit like Benjamin, the old donkey from Animal Farm, who when these ludicrous pronouncements are made just raises an eyebrow or shakes his head. I’ve heard it all before. It pacifies the Daily Express readers, but it’s all utter bxllxcks!
Priti won’t do anything. If one illegal drowned in the channel the media, particularly the Beeb and The Guardian, would be after her blood. She ain’t going to do it. She’ll talk tough, the BBC will paint her as some rabid right winger and then she’ll quietly move on to the next department. I know it, the French know it and more importantly, the blokes on these dinghies know it.
Unfortunately Britain doesn’t have a Donald Trump.
If only…
As Martin Wolf, the chief economics commentator of the financial times, says: ‘The desirability of sizeable immigration is a matter more of values than of economics. It is not a choice between wealth and poverty, but of the sort of country one desires to inhabit.’
Towing back dinghies at sea is a stupid policy. Those on board are not daft, they will just jump into the sea and have to be rescued.
No, surely we should wait for them to land, and then round them up and take them back to France safely. They are illegal immigrants and we do not want them.
“Priti won’t do anything. If one illegal drowned in the channel the media, particularly the Beeb and The Guardian, would be after her blood. ”
And there’s the rub. As I’ve said before, its nonsense that ‘they’re risking their lives’. Hardly, when out of 13,000 plus who have come across, only one so far has died.
TOADY Watch #2 – the BBC are still upset by the Health & Social Care reforms
So much so that the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, is the big interviewee for Mishal at 8.10 a.m. on Global Warming and Climate Change. But he is also asked about the Health and Social Care reforms and whether it is fair to ask young people on low incomes to pay for them.
What Mishal should have asked the Archbishop of Canterbury “Is it fair that older people like us on large salaries should be asked to pay much, much more than young people on low incomes?” That would have been the honest question to ask as the tax route chosen by the Government is a progressive one, not a regressive one.
Mishal gave the Archbishop of Canterbury a very soft interview. He said that his children cannot afford to buy a house and then added that he didn’t own a house IN THIS COUNTRY (my caps) but we were not told what foreign abode he had. He is on £85,000 a year according to google and has his accommodation provided. He has just taken a sabbatical during which I presume he was still paid. I wonder what he does with his money.
However the Archbishop was much too worried about Climate Change and leftist policies to worry about his flock’s relationship with Him upstairs and Mishal didn’t ask.
Deborah, if that £80,000 is correct and it sounds right, the Archbishop of Canterbury will then be paying the same as an MP toward the Health & Social Care reforms – about £900. That is four times – maybe slightly more – than someone on Minimum Wage. Apparently the £5 per week for them was more like £4 per week. Mishal did not mention that.
Catholic priests
Catholic priests do not receive any stipend or salary. Their remuneration traditionally arises from the congregation collection. Also, there is no employer/employee relationship with the Catholic Church. They are therefore regarded as self-employed earners for NICs purposes.
Despite their National Insurance treatment, Catholic priests are regarded as office holders for income tax purposes and their remuneration is taxable as general earnings rather than under Chapter 2 of Part 2 of the Income Tax (Trading and Other Income) Act 2005 (ITTOIA). Therefore, no Class 4 NICs arises on their remuneration as section 15 of the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992 (SSCBA) cannot apply. https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/national-insurance-manual/nim74200
I’d be interested to know what the Archbishop actually knows about climate change and global warming. I suspect that he is as ignorant as those calling themselves “experts” in those particular fields, and just as big a bullshitter.
“NEW mom Janet Jackson fled her Muslim tycoon hubby, Wissam Al Mana, after living through a five-year hell of emotional and verbal abuse! Her brother Randy Jackson charges Qatar-born billionaire Wissam “kept Janet a prisoner in her own home,” and another insider says her husband subjected the singer to horrifying abuse — even when she was carrying their unborn son, Eissa.
“During Janet’s pregnancy, Wissam would yell at her, make her cry and call her ‘bitch’ and ‘whore,’ ” spills an insider. “He treated her like dirt.”

Security guards hired to prevent Somali pirates from taking ships.
They strayed (apparently) into Indian waters and were arrested and jailed in awful conditions for many years.
I bet they would steer clear of Indian waters now.
Can we not contract out our channel operation (don’t laugh) to the Indians.
Failing that, jail every immigrant illegally landing in the UK and keep them there with no chance of being granted permission to stay.
Keep them in prison, not hotels, until they agree to go back.
It will not be long before they get the message that it’s not worth popping over illegally and the numbers will drop dramatically.
That would free up places for genuine asylum seekers.
Pathetic obviously but not surprising, no more than the usual shallow signalling expected from groups like this, run as usual by cliched chancers, though they’re unusually undiverse in this case. No doubt comfortably connected and well remunerated their quango-queen, Julia Weston, apparently used to work for an organisation called the Norbulingka Institute, a group connected to the Dalai Lama whose main aim is to “preserve Tibetan art and culture”.
Just not that interested in preserving her own British culture it would seem.
Of course it won’t happen. There’ll be so many legal challenges from Refugee groups that it will be a non-starter, tying up the Government for years in the courts.
I want to know where all these “safe routes” are supposed to be that all the bleeding hearts constantly refer to.

When the twenty-nine-year-old writer and performer Vanessa Kisuule moved to Bristol, England, ten years ago, to attend Bristol University, she didn’t know much about the city’s links to the transatlantic slave trade. “My only cultural reference point was, like, ‘Skins,’ ” she told me, referring to the British drama about teen-agers growing up in the city. At some point, she became aware of the ubiquity of the word “Colston” on Bristol’s streets and buildings. Kisuule, who is black, would walk down Colston Street, pass a pub named Colston Yard, and visit Colston Hall, the city’s largest concert venue. They were named after Edward Colston, a British slave trader and politician who was born in the city in 1636.

BBC still running with the story about Pantomine Dame Cressida Dick, the commissioner of the metropolitan police, after calls for her (other personal pronouns are available) to be replaced. They list some of the many calamities with which the commissioner has been associated, and in fairness, give air to those who are also critical of the BBC.
Perhaps she will go, given that the Prime Minister and Home Secretary have publicly backed her – usually a death knell if ever there was one. When it comes to a replacement, they might consider appointing somebody based upon their experience and ability, rather than simply on the basis of their gender and sexuality. Oh yes, and a sensible name might be a good idea as well.

As there are ladies present, if not the reasons that get Fed excited, I’ll will share with cautious commentary.
Not OT, but industry generic, and if a BBC favoured son sticks their head above the parapet enough to get fragged it can intrigue. It also opens a delicious can of non vegan meat alternatives.
This, right here, is why I've always hated the institution of makeup.
Effectively relegating the value of every woman's (in the West) natural face, due to the expectation.
It’s the Indy so maybe six people saw it, but they do seem to be pervasive in Amol’s new crib despite this.
Personally the thought of everyone in a BBC studio from BS to Andy Burnham having a fit of the vapours is too delicious not to contemplate.
I particularly despise the IndyGraunBBc arbiters of acceptability’ utter hypocrisies on matters female (and associated males) fashion, from the gunk they pour on their hair to the distances they travel to look at each other in clothes they wear once or sporting hair dos that they think will get the Sarpongistas to commission a story.
GW.
What is it with these lip fillers.
Some of these pictures of girls who have had their (perfectly good) lips filled up so that they look grotesque makes me wonder why they do it.
It looks as if they have had a toilet plunger fitted instead of their mouth.
When they then pout (for every picture it seems) they exaggerate the effect.
Just so unnatural.
Hmm Sofology have only just stopped using Owen Wilson in their adverts.

The answer is simple.
DONT.
1. Put them in hotels, tents will do.
2. Give them any kind of money.
3. Let them speak to lefty lawyers.
DO.
1. Confiscate all mobile phones to stop them doing 3 above.
2. Put anyone without papers on the first plane to Afghanistan. They’ll claim to come from there anyway
3. Not allow them to vote in British elections for 30 years.
4. Not allow them to stand in any British election of any form.

Channel 4 news reporting quite seriously from a dig somewhere up North where a bunch of obviously totally nutty old wild-haired and wild-eyed septuagenarians (won’t call them archeologists) announce they have found evidence that black people came across the channel from Calais in small boats 10,000 years ago (how accidentally fortuitous and probably not on inflatables!) and showed us how to use salt, make cheese and farm. The same people then went on to build Stonehenge, and probably the Clifton suspension bridge.
They found all this by digging a great big hole 20 feet deep and shining their torch on the dust which means these early immigrants were possibly mole like people who preferred to live underground.
They claim the evidence is irrefutable because they have a special Torch available from Lidl which can look back 10,000 years which proves it beyond doubt.
Begs the question of why the immigrants didn’t bother to do the same back in Africa. Not many giant stone monoliths over there that I know of and very little cheese I would warrant.
It gets more and more stupid and desperate every day!
Yes but the people who built the pyramids probably had rulers and tape measures unlike the Stonehenge crew most probably random druids from Celtic nations, or did these African arrivals simply forget to bring their rulers etc when they landed in Kent?

As Martin Wolf, the chief economics commentator of the financial times, says: ‘The desirability of sizeable immigration is a matter more of values than of economics. It is not a choice between wealth and poverty, but of the sort of country one desires to inhabit.’

Towing back dinghies at sea is a stupid policy. Those on board are not daft, they will just jump into the sea and have to be rescued.
No, surely we should wait for them to land, and then round them up and take them back to France safely. They are illegal immigrants and we do not want them.

TOADY Watch #2 – the BBC are still upset by the Health & Social Care reforms
So much so that the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, is the big interviewee for Mishal at 8.10 a.m. on Global Warming and Climate Change. But he is also asked about the Health and Social Care reforms and whether it is fair to ask young people on low incomes to pay for them.
What Mishal should have asked the Archbishop of Canterbury “Is it fair that older people like us on large salaries should be asked to pay much, much more than young people on low incomes?” That would have been the honest question to ask as the tax route chosen by the Government is a progressive one, not a regressive one.
I can’t see this one lasting another day …….

Mishal gave the Archbishop of Canterbury a very soft interview. He said that his children cannot afford to buy a house and then added that he didn’t own a house IN THIS COUNTRY (my caps) but we were not told what foreign abode he had. He is on £85,000 a year according to google and has his accommodation provided. He has just taken a sabbatical during which I presume he was still paid. I wonder what he does with his money.
However the Archbishop was much too worried about Climate Change and leftist policies to worry about his flock’s relationship with Him upstairs and Mishal didn’t ask.

Deborah, if that £80,000 is correct and it sounds right, the Archbishop of Canterbury will then be paying the same as an MP toward the Health & Social Care reforms – about £900. That is four times – maybe slightly more – than someone on Minimum Wage. Apparently the £5 per week for them was more like £4 per week. Mishal did not mention that.
Dishonest, BBC!

Catholic priests
Catholic priests do not receive any stipend or salary. Their remuneration traditionally arises from the congregation collection. Also, there is no employer/employee relationship with the Catholic Church. They are therefore regarded as self-employed earners for NICs purposes.
Despite their National Insurance treatment, Catholic priests are regarded as office holders for income tax purposes and their remuneration is taxable as general earnings rather than under Chapter 2 of Part 2 of the Income Tax (Trading and Other Income) Act 2005 (ITTOIA). Therefore, no Class 4 NICs arises on their remuneration as section 15 of the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992 (SSCBA) cannot apply.

Failing that, jail every immigrant illegally landing in the UK and keep them there with no chance of being granted permission to stay.
Keep them in prison, not hotels, until they agree to go back.
It will not be long before they get the message that it’s not worth popping over illegally and the numbers will drop dramatically.

When the twenty-nine-year-old writer and performer Vanessa Kisuule moved to Bristol, England, ten years ago, to attend Bristol University, she didn’t know much about the city’s links to the transatlantic slave trade. “My only cultural reference point was, like, ‘Skins,’ ” she told me, referring to the British drama about teen-agers growing up in the city. At some point, she became aware of the ubiquity of the word “Colston” on Bristol’s streets and buildings. Kisuule, who is black, would walk down Colston Street, pass a pub named Colston Yard, and visit Colston Hall, the city’s largest concert venue. They were named after Edward Colston, a British slave trader and politician who was born in the city in 1636.

A petition to remove a statue of Mahatma Gandhi in Leicester has received nearly 5,000 signatures.
The online petition accuses the Indian independence campaigner of being “a fascist, racist and sexual predator”.
Last year, students from Manchester called for a similar statue of Gandhi to be removed because of his “well-documented anti-black racism”.
Leicester East MP Claudia Webbe called the petition a “massive distraction” from the Black Lives Matter movement.

Buy IKEA – pay for the rise of a dictator.
“There are major logistical problems worldwide. For example, there is a great scarcity of containers and container ships on important sea routes because the economic recovery from the corona pandemic is proceeding faster than expected. There are also congestion in ports due to the crowds and Chinese terminals were temporarily closed due to local corona outbreaks. Many IKEA products are made in China.”
(order-order)
China is IKEA’S largest manufacturing center globally. 22% of its products are made in China. Currently IKEA has around 350 suppliers in China.
Some of the high priced items sold in China are made in Europe, such as Slovakia, Czech Republic and Sweden etc. IKEA would arrange their productions based on origins of raw materials, transportation cost and buying power of their markets etc.

We discuss the bilateral investment and trade outlook between China and the Central Asian country of Tajikistan. China is currently Tajikistan’s largest source of foreign investment and a significant trading partner. Tajikistan, on its part, is a keen BRI participant as its difficult terrain and connectivity challenges require major infrastructure and construction investment, the cumulative outcome being better economic integration and boost to trade.
China and Tajikistan have maintained regular high-level contacts and cooperation since the establishment of diplomatic ties after the settlement of their border issues. Since 2018, China and Tajikistan have been comprehensive strategic partners.

BBC still running with the story about Pantomine Dame Cressida Dick, the commissioner of the metropolitan police, after calls for her (other personal pronouns are available) to be replaced. They list some of the many calamities with which the commissioner has been associated, and in fairness, give air to those who are also critical of the BBC.
Perhaps she will go, given that the Prime Minister and Home Secretary have publicly backed her – usually a death knell if ever there was one. When it comes to a replacement, they might consider appointing somebody based upon their experience and ability, rather than simply on the basis of their gender and sexuality. Oh yes, and a sensible name might be a good idea as well.

As there are ladies present, if not the reasons that get Fed excited, I’ll will share with cautious commentary.
Not OT, but industry generic, and if a BBC favoured son sticks their head above the parapet enough to get fragged it can intrigue. It also opens a delicious can of non vegan meat alternatives.
It’s the Indy so maybe six people saw it, but they do seem to be pervasive in Amol’s new crib despite this.
Personally the thought of everyone in a BBC studio from BS to Andy Burnham having a fit of the vapours is too delicious not to contemplate.
I particularly despise the IndyGraunBBc arbiters of acceptability’ utter hypocrisies on matters female (and associated males) fashion, from the gunk they pour on their hair to the distances they travel to look at each other in clothes they wear once or sporting hair dos that they think will get the Sarpongistas to commission a story.

Channel 4 news reporting quite seriously from a dig somewhere up North where a bunch of obviously totally nutty old wild-haired and wild-eyed septuagenarians (won’t call them archeologists) announce they have found evidence that black people came across the channel from Calais in small boats 10,000 years ago (how accidentally fortuitous and probably not on inflatables!) and showed us how to use salt, make cheese and farm. The same people then went on to build Stonehenge, and probably the Clifton suspension bridge.
They found all this by digging a great big hole 20 feet deep and shining their torch on the dust which means these early immigrants were possibly mole like people who preferred to live underground.
They claim the evidence is irrefutable because they have a special Torch available from Lidl which can look back 10,000 years which proves it beyond doubt.
Begs the question of why the immigrants didn’t bother to do the same back in Africa. Not many giant stone monoliths over there that I know of and very little cheese I would warrant.
It gets more and more stupid and desperate every day!
