“‘MY CULTURE UNDER ATTACK’
In and around London’s Parliament Square, hundreds of people wearing football shirts, describing themselves as patriots and chanting “England, England” gathered alongside military veterans to guard the Cenotaph war memorial.
The far-right groups said they wanted to defend British culture, in particular historical monuments, after the toppling of the statue of a 17th century slave trader in the port city of Bristol last weekend sparked calls for others to come down.
“Winston Churchill, he’s one of our own,” they also chanted, near the statue of the World War Two leader, which last weekend was sprayed with graffiti reading: “Churchill was a racist”.
“My culture is under attack. This is my culture and my English history: why should Churchill be boarded up? Why is the Cenotaph attacked? It is not right,” said David Allen, one of the protesters.
While Churchill is admired by many for his role in defeating Nazi Germany, some in the anti-racism movement have called for more scrutiny of his overall legacy, noting he expressed racist and anti-Semitic views.
On Friday Prime Minister Boris Johnson called it “absurd and shameful” that the Churchill statue was at risk of attack. “Yes, he sometimes expressed opinions that were and are unacceptable to us today, but he was a hero,” he said.
Protests took place in other countries on Saturday, including in several Australian cities, Taipei, Zurich and Paris.
“wearing football shirts”
“far right”
“describing themselves as..”
No such labels for this lot though:
A high court judge has said activists protesting against LGBT equality lessons had “grossly misrepresented” what was being taught to children as he ruled that they would be permanently banned from demonstrating directly outside a Birmingham primary school.
Protesters went head to head with a local authority during a five-day hearing to stop demonstrations outside Anderton Park school. The school, in the Sparkhill area of the city, has become the focus of a long campaign to halt LGBT equality messages being taught in the classroom.
Most of the protesters have been of Muslim faith and some have stood regularly outside the school chanting “Let kids be kids” and carrying placards with the message: “Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.”
Tricky one.
Maybe… too many… ‘men’… with odd allegiances excused by Western tools kidnapping, raping and murdering and then heading to Calais?

The Asian girl interviewing an Asian red Tory with a posh accent about kids being jabbed . Huge entertainment as to whether 12 or 13 year old kids are competent to make decisions over vaccination .
A bit of Darwinism kicking in – and the kind of subject the woke metros can spend hours – days – arguing over .
I want me flu and booster jab – if somebody else doesn’t – good luck to them .

A useful short YT video on the unarmed ‘Mule Drivers’ from India who survived Dunkirk.
Spot the difference between the Black Broadcasting Corporation’s narrative and that of the YT video. Seems they plagiarised YT.
The Black Broadcasting Corporation must be trawling every news archive to find, ‘suitable’ articles to suit their propaganda.
I thought we remembered once a year all soldiers, do we now have to classify them by colour / race ?
If one wanted to create divison, racial tension and resentment, I could not think of a better way than the bbc’s insidious efforts, truly world class at that
As COP26 approaches the ‘narrative’ becomes ever more desperate
TOADY Watch #1 – the first of two items to raise fear of Global Warming and Climate Change – the world has seen extra hot heat
It is almost inevitable that the beanfest jolly that will be COP26 has to be justified by the ‘scientists’ who will attend and all the CO2 and methane emissions that they create will need some Considerable Conscience Easing. After a UK 2021 winter with snow and ice, a cool spring and a very poor ‘traditional British’ summer, it is inevitable that scientists with their collaborators, the BBC, need to talk up Global Warming and Climate Change.
So a study has been done. And in hot parts of the world there has been heat. Interestingly they all appear to be around the Equator. Funny thing is, when I was in Primary School all those decades ago, we were taught that parts of the world are especially hot and this is due to the sun. But of course this heat is nothing to do with the sun shining more strongly on the lands around the Equator, according to these scientists it must be due to burning fossil fuels.
Oh, and cows farting as well.

The outcome of the COP thing will be a huge success for the planet and governments turning up . In fact – the planet will be saved and nut nut will be warmed by the glow of his international leadership .
The above will – of course – be a lie – loads of promises will be made but the big countries will ignore and fiddle them – everyone has their own agenda …
COP will still look like a success though .
Fed, it’s not Nut Nut who you have to keep happy, it’s his Boss, Princess NutNuts.

Normally Paul Homewood’s excellent web-site looks carefully at scientific and in this case, media claims about AGW & CC but the BBC ‘thing’ that I link to above has been debunked by Paul straight away. There is an obvious flaw in the BBC’s Gobal Warming claim that can be seen in the ‘interactive’.
Shenanigans at the UN, needless to say, Soros and Ford Foundations are the main financiers of “UN Experts”.
Nothing you did not know or guess was going on.
The Worlds population are skinned, gutted and ready for the oven.
Back on the subject of jobs . Because the BBC is so pro EU it cannot present facts or arguments about the subject without injecting propaganda into it .
For instance – the number of kids going into the University Industry at age 18 – and expecting to get ‘good jobs ‘ and ‘social status ‘ after coming out of it .
Maybe it would be better if less do their 3 years at university and get jobs – the BBC won’t deal with this – probably because as a ‘class’ BBC staff All went to university …..the argument cannot be properly put .
Which is a disservice to those who pay for their BBC .
I am wondering if any here have seen the same thing, one can visit any town or city in the UK and it is much the same : Starbucks, Costa, Tescos, Greggs, and of course a plethora of mobile phone shops, I have not the energy to drill down, but am pretty sure there are just a handful of companies running retail in the UK, there are a few exceptions where you may find independent shops, such as Bury St Edmunds and Saffron Walden but they are fast disappearing
want to buy a bicycle: Halfords
A computer ? Currys (Argos has run out)
And customer service ? Currys paid for new computer, and went to pick it up they would not give it to me because I could not provide them with the card number I paid with because it was at home despite having a driving license and many other forms of ID
They would not accept all the emails on my phone, eventually grudgenly handed it over and I asked for a paper receipt and : no your email is your receipt, what ? you just said you dont accept emails as proof of purchase FFS
Next time I need a computer I will get it from an antique shop in Saffron Walden
Our Emma feted, a lack of transparency, old hat and bondage trousers
Kicking off with a quick unofficial Project Fear fact check one finds that Ronaldo the Portugese football star’s transfer from his previous employment with Italian club Juventus to Post-Brexit Manchester United, appears to have gone through without undue border restrictions.
Daniel Storey, sports writer for the ‘i’ encourages us: ‘Let’s enjoy the Champions League while we can‘ – seems, just like the old Common Market, over-ambitious expansion is about to kill the original happy medium: ‘The proposed Swiss model will almost double the number of matches in the competition, bringing with it a raft of dead-rubber games‘
Conservatism seems to me to involve a careful examination of innovations and a bold rejection of those newfangled notions that would tend to disimprove the present status quo. So we happily welcome the ‘i’s‘ Mr Storey to the conservative fold.
Meanwhile in contemporary medical developments our press presage a veritable: ‘Jabs Blitz‘ (The Sun) – bravo the Sun.
Our hero, the in-house satirical doodler in the Telegraph, sketches a schoolboy informing his parents: “I said yes to the Covid jab, but no to maths homework – there’s too many unknowns” – bravo Matt.
The heavily government department advertising-funded giveaway Metro is jonesing for a fix like some out of pocket junky: ‘12-year-olds to get jabbed. Whitty approves vaccine for 3.2m youngsters… but just one dose‘ – I’m imagining the Metro as addict complaining to his supplier “It’s light, man, it’s light!”
‘Over-50s to receive booster jab for winter‘ – so both the grandkids and the grandparents will be able to roll up a sleeve to compare old war wounds in the upper arm this Christmas – which Boris, quoted in the Times, seems to imply could be the rare highlight this: “Prolonged and unpredictable winter”
Climate change, anyone?
Whitty, the bloke reminiscent of a ghoul in the attic, gives the green light after having his arm twisted – let’s call it a Chinese Burn for the chap who was obviously bullied at school – despite previous scientific assessment that the health advantages of jabs for kids was ‘marginal‘
Suddenly ‘public health‘ seems to come a poor third place priority behind ‘disruption in education‘ (thank you, teacher unions) and ‘mental health‘ (thank you, government/media covid project fear)
‘How to help stressed children‘ – is the offer from: ‘Tanya Byron’s expert advice‘ in the Times. Whilst the BBC relishes: ‘Climate change: Young people very worried – survey. By Roger Harrabin‘
Kids will sometimes be very worried about monsters under the bed, Roger – let’s revolutionise western economies on that basis?
Here’s my advice to counter children’s fears – turn off the bloody news!
One remains amazed that the Left still fail to cry wolf over: ‘…No 10 accelerates vaccine programme‘ (Guardian)
The Mirror at least acknowledges a degree of hesitation: ‘Jabs for kids in days. Fears, delays & uncertainty may fuel parents’ concerns‘
No such caution headlined in the Guardian today as project fear is featured promimently: ‘“We see a lot of regrets” The vaccine-hesitant victims of covid‘
‘Have a day off, Tarquin‘ – is the Daily Star’s blunt commentary on: ‘Posh morons cause chaos as normal folk try to get to work‘
When they’re not busy jamming the M25 with Extinction Rebellion our white middleclass Guardinistas are jamming to the reggae beat: ‘Clint Dyer on directing the Bob Marley musical‘
The Left just don’t seem to call out any possible cronyism and graft when it comes to vaccines and big pharma. I guess they still think our drug companies are vaxing us as a sort of charity donation. The FT inadvertantly exposes the value of a State vax contract: ‘The government said yesterday it was cancelling Euro1.4bn deal with the French biotech to suppy 100m doses of its Covid-19 vaccine, sending shares in the group down 42 per cent‘ – I guess the market was simply disappointed this drug company’s philanthropy was declined?
The media are still smitten with their international tennis teenager Emma. For some reason I’m reminded of Johnny Rotten, his spilt with the Sex Pistols and subsequent lyric from the classic track Public Image: “You never listen to a word that I said, You only seen me for the clothes that I wear, Or did the interest go so much deeper, It must have been the colour of my hair”
The Mail seems a tad disappointed, sartorial-wise: ‘Emma bewitches America… in jeans and cardie! Sofa star: Emma Radacanu was feted on US television yesterday‘ – oh, to be feted.
Robert Crampton in the Times confesses: ‘I could never be a tennis dad‘
Oddly, the Mail frontpage teases a Sarah Vine feature decrying the latest fashion trend: ‘Why I’m appalled that bondage is the new black‘ – me too, luv. It’s all a bit unseemly. Dodgy, considering. And old hat. Our Johnny was already decked out in his bondage trousers a lifetime ago.
Straps and buckles and cutaways do seem to be a thing this year. The Daily Satyr pictures: ‘J.Lo’s top of the crops‘ and whilst we’ve little in the news by way of transparency about jab contract kick backs The Sun leaves little to the imagination with: ‘Thongs get ugly for Meg in VMA brawl‘ – I see the pic alright but I’ve no idea what the story’s all about.
Luckily the Moaning emole gets the real front page stuff up

Bake Off contestants revealed
Where would you find a detective with a penchant for Greek-Cypriot delicacies, a chief engineer with a precision to his pastry and a sales manager who spent lockdown working on “complex bakes and chocolate work”? In the Great British Bake Off tent, of course. Channel 4 has revealed the dozen bakers competing for the title in the 12th series of the much-loved show. Judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith return, with Matt Lucas and Noel Fielding back for hosting duties. Hollywood says the series – once again filmed in a “bubble” because of the Covid pandemic – produced a standard of baking that was “certainly the highest I’ve ever encountered”. It airs from 21 September. Meet the contestants.

Anything else on Ch4?
I know Channel 4 isn’t the BBC but how I hate all the blatant PR stuff. Paul Hollywood said the standard of baking this year was the highest he’d ever encountered. Doesn’t he say that every year? And I can predict the contestants, at least 2 non British born or from an ethnic culture as well as two either African or Caribbean, the old lady (at least 60 who usually cooks for her grandchildren, the old gay, and the young gay and perhaps two young pretty white women and if one of them turns out to be gay and turn down Paul’s advances so much the better (Ruby). Unless there has been a change since I stopped watching it, it is no longer about baking but more about food art. Add into the mix that it is how many contestants can the producers encourage the audience to laugh at, not with, and you have the programme.
Most of the above could be said of Strictly. I once read that each contestant gets their own PR person. It explains all the stories which get leaked to the MSM.
Meanwhile, Stevo in Moscow…
Critics crushed ahead of Russia’s managed polls
“Together we choose!” declare the election posters around Moscow. The slogan is punchy. But it’s misleading. Critics say that, in today’s Russia, it is the authorities who choose – who’s on the ballot, and who’s not. “Our elections are like a puppet theatre,” believes sociologist Vladislav Inozemtsev. “Many independent candidates have not been allowed to run.”
The list of politicians and activists excluded from these parliamentary and local elections reads like a Who’s Who of the Russian opposition. “Alexei Navalny is in prison and all his team are off the ballot; [opposition politicians] Ilya Yashin and Lev Schlossberg are barred, too,” explains former MP Dmitry Gudkov.

What are emergency powers?
The term “emergency powers” usually refers to government powers to respond rapidly to a public emergency by:
making regulations without an act of parliament
taking actions without complying with statutory duties that it would normally have to comply with
taking actions that it would not normally be allowed to take.
Those powers can be set out in new primary legislation or, sometimes, in regulations made by ministers using existing primary legislation.
Emergency powers allow the government to introduce measures that may affect fundamental rights, such as the right to liberty. These measures can only be introduced in exceptional circumstances and should be temporary in nature.
When can these emergency powers be used?
Emergency powers are only intended to be used in exceptional circumstances. The Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984, which contains powers to deal with pandemics, specifies that regulations may be introduced to manage an infection which presents or could present “significant harm to human health.”
https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/explainers/emergency-powers
Regulations brought in under the Public Health Act 1984 have to be approved by parliament within 28 days or they cease to have effect. However, in the first months of the pandemic, the health secretary brought these in using the ‘urgent procedure’ whereby they came into force before parliament had a chance to debate and vote on them.
https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/explainers/emergency-powers
“Most of the provisions in the Act are limited to two years, but a parliamentary debate must be held in both Houses of Parliament one year after the bill becomes law.”
https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/explainers/emergency-powers
However the drug companies have a worldwide legal ‘clause’ on the global vaccination program that they cannot be prosecuted -ever, if it is found that the drugs cause or have severe side affects or lead to future drug dependency, or death by complications.
So all the side affects, cannot be used in court to halt the program. Death is a side affect for some and others are (alleged) birth control on extended use (i.e. Vaccinations are only effective for six months, so its for life, if you choose it).

Using London, Edinburgh, and the northern and southern extremities of the UK (Out Stack in Shetland, and Pednathise Head in the Isles of Scilly respectively) as reference points, it’s clear just how far north we’re situated.
Even the southernmost point of Britain is further north than the northernmost part of the contiguous United States (the 48 adjoining states, so this does not include Alaska or Hawaii), while London lies further north than almost all major Canadian cities, including Vancouver, Montreal, Quebec City, and Toronto.

That’s hardly a 50C day really.
#2 Years ago you’d sample the temperature a few times a day
Today sensors continually monitor the temperature
So you are much more likely to spot it crossing an arbitrary line like 50C than before.

8am BBC local news had a PRasNews item
“New research by the Humber Net Zero org, says that 4 out of 5 firms say they have a responsibility to take care of the environment”
… The weird thing is that 20% of firms don’t think they have a responsibility to take care of the environment.
From Twitter I see the report is having its PR launch at Hull University right now.
Taking care of the environment is entirely different from ‘net zero’.
What a dirty, misleading trick question to use.
I wonder why they didn’t ask them ‘If you are forced to have net zero carbon emissions, do you think it will affect climate change in any significant way at all ?.’
Taliban are at net zero carbon … !!!
Yes – or else!
That’s cos’ they don’t burn journalists in cages any longer. I think.

The AA warns of back-to-school traffic jams
Pop-up cycle lanes and wider pavements could cause ‘localised gridlock’ if parents chose to drive, warns road group
MEASURES implemented during lockdown to allow safer cycling and social distancing could cause “localised gridlock” if parents drive children to school, the AA has warned.
As traffic levels approach pre-lockdown levels and pupils return to classrooms, Covid-19 safety measures combined with new pedestrian- and cycle-friendly neighbourhoods have the potential to make the school run even more hellish for motorists and local residents.
Edmund King, president of the AA, said: “If it all goes wrong we could see localised gridlock with limited public transport, more cars and less road space due to ‘pop-up’ closures.”
The saving grace would be if “fewer parents drive kids to school as they are working from home and more children walking and cycling”.
It could be worse of course

The bbc has some things to say on the anniversary of 9 11 and yet some voices will never be heard
https://fillmorecountyjournal.com/is-islam-a-peaceful-religion/
“Jason Dahl was the Captain on United Flight 93 that crashed on September 11. Jason was my friend. I was also a Captain for United Airlines. Jason and I worked together as instructor pilots for United at the training center in Denver, Co. The Muslim terrorists that took out the four flights that day were considered “radical” Islamic. Fifteen of the 19 were Saudi.
Recently a Saudi pilot-in-training at the Naval Air Station Pensacola killed three Americans. Why did he kill? The same reason the terrorists did on 9/11. The Islamic Quran commands it.
How can the majority of Muslims claim it is a peaceful religion? Because… most have not read the Quran, or the “Hadiths” that expound on the verses in the Quran and the life of the prophet Mohammed. The culture of Eastern Muslims is to rely on and believe what those in authority say. And most of the leaders, or Imams, proclaim an innocent and tolerant version of the Quran and Mohammed. Obedience is a sacred trait of the Muslim faith. The word Islam means “to surrender.”
There are peaceful chapters or “Surahs” in the Quran. They were “revealed” to Mohammed in a cave called Hira near Mecca in 610 A.D. Mohammed’s god, Allah, wanted to correct the Jewish Old Testament and the Christian’s New Testament (with Jesus as part of a Triune God.) His gentle and tolerant Meccan revelations were intended to bridge the gap between Jews and Christians, winning both over to Allah’s “correction.” It didn’t work.
Mohammed was run out of town. He went to Medina. It was in Medina where the rest of the Quran was revealed to him by Allah. And there was a marked change. The Surahs became violent. And Mohammed became violent. He beheaded Jews. He fought wars. He raided and killed. He took “booty” in his victories. And the booty included human captives. Women. Unspeakable acts were allowed that I will not include here. You can read them for yourself… Surah 4:24, 23:5, 70:29.
This sexual injustice is reprehensible, but Allah wills it.
All of this was commanded by his Allah in the Medina Surahs. And those chapters in the Quran still apply today. It is not “radical” Islam. It is just Islam.
The hostile Medina Quran calls for Muslims to kill anyone who leaves the Islamic faith. Also, Medina Surah 9:5 command Muslims to “kill the infidels (non-Muslims) wherever you find them and take them as captives and besiege them and lay wait for them with every kind of ambush so if they repent (and become Muslim) and perform prayer, leave their way free.” Convert or die, and many other violent commands.
Allah also revealed to Mohammed…. If one is quoting from an early Meccan Surah and there is a contradicting Surah given later in Medina, the Meccan quote is no longer valid. It is called the Doctrine of Abrogation. This abrogation applies to 60% of the Quran. The early peaceful Surahs of Mecca no longer apply, but they are still in the Quran! And the Quran is not written in chronological order, so the reader can’t say which Surah is applicable. So peace-loving Muslims can claim Islam to be peaceful! And Medina Muslim followers can justify violence and killing! All in the name of Allah.
The unpleasant truth is that the Quran teaches faithful Muslims to be at war with non-Muslims until they are all subdued. That is one wacky religion. “
0. Islam asks you to have zero thought about it’s origins and practices. And make zero comparisons with successful cultures.
1. Islam asks for one simple thing. Islam asks for everything – finance, religion, police, morals, schools, law, food, science, clothes, art and your body to be Islamic.
2. Islam only has two problems – Muhammed and Mohammed. Once the first problem has been solved then the second one can be solved easily.
3. Islam offers three things. In the Koran it offers Peace, War and then a Continuation of War. In your life Islam wants you to subjugate yourself, subjugate your family and then subjugate everyone else.

Its now reported that Michael Gove has been accused of using racial slurs and vocal sexual abuse when he was in his 20’s !!!?????
I can’t stop laughing. This man is 54 which makes it over 30 years ago – no internet, no Twitter to look back on, no mobiles to record conversations, so who the hell remembers this stuff, and, actually makes a record of it ? Can anyone on here recall remarks or conversations by anyone a week ago let alone 30 odd years ago ?
I expect its emails from when he was a student at Oxford Bris. I was at Uni 30 years ago (that makes me feel old) and we had access to the internet and emails through the Uni PCs in those days. Mind you, home internet use started nearly the same time, around 1992/3, if I recall rightly. Some of my mates were computer geeks and paid to have access to it from day one.
There were all kinds of interesting things you could find on the internet in those early days…ok, perhaps not, but you could already search, download things, post in online chatrooms, and send each other emails with attached video clips or photos (as 90% of users were teenage boys, 90%+ of what was sent was almost certainly illegally copied music, or video clips, clips of people pulling silly stunts, porn, obscene jokes, or photos of your butt, or yout weiner, as Americans say, none of which was ever intended to be taken very seriously).
No policing of the internet in those days, so we said and sent whatever we felt like, it was playground stuff mostly, and unlike today’s youth we had a lot of fun, and not all of it socially acceptable these days, I’m sure… hmm… probably best no one EVER looks at my internet history aged 18.
I don’t particularly like Gove, but it’s a huge infringement to go back and search through someone’s correspondence from decades ago, and I feel really sorry for younger generations growing up with the internet and social media, recording their every move, and juvenile act, from infancy onwards. I’ve tried to deliberately avoid that with my children, but a lot of their friends have already come unstuck with things they, or their parents regret having posted online.
Luckily we have the new fangled interweb thing, where an unshaven tramp can provide broadband to eveyone via a “green fund” that arrives on the shores of Albion from nowehere, (Avalon ?)
Where have I heard this before oh yes hes Merlin and now back in his cave until next time
Jeremy Corbyn, Labour Party Leader, Outlining Labour’s British Broadband plans in a speech at the University of Lancaster today, said:
Thank you for that welcome.
At the start of this election I promised to put forward the most radical and exciting plan for real change the British public has ever seen.
We haven’t even launched our manifesto yet, but our campaign is already electric. On the ground it’s bigger and more exciting than 2017.
And I’ll let you into a little secret – when our manifesto arrives next week, it’s going to knock your socks off.
I don’t want anyone to be able to say, a few years into a Labour government, that nothing ever changes or that politicians are all the same.
I want everyone to feel the positive difference to their own life when you have the government and the people working together, collectively, to take on the system and make life better for the many, not the few.
And do you know what? We’re so confident that’s what our manifesto will do that today we want to give you a sneak peek.
A taster of the kind of fresh, transformational policies that will change your life.
So here it is: a Labour government will make broadband free for everybody.
And not just any broadband, but the very fastest. Full-fibre broadband to every home, in every part of our country, for free – as a universal public service.
And once it’s up and running, instead of you forking out for your monthly bill, we’ll tax the giant corporations fairly – the Facebooks and the Googles – to cover the running costs.
That is a policy for the many.
Making broadband free and available to all will open up opportunities for everybody.
It will put us at the cutting edge of social and economic change.
Because what we’re about is building a country that’s fit for the future.
The internet has become such a central part of our lives. It opens up opportunities for work, creativity, entertainment and friendship.
What was once a luxury is now an essential utility.
That’s why full-fibre broadband must be a public service, bringing communities together with equal access in an inclusive and connected society.
Fast and free broadband for all will fire up our economy, deliver a massive boost to productivity and bring half a million people back into the workforce.
It will help our environment and tackle the climate emergency by reducing the need to commute.
And it will make our country fairer, more equal and more democratic.
The full-fibre broadband Labour will deliver is the gold standard. It is the fastest, most secure and most reliable form of broadband, using fibre optic cables to take data directly into people’s homes and businesses.
And it will help to boost 5G to people’s phones too.
Full-fibre will deliver lightning-fast download times.
It will put an end to patchy and slow coverage once and for all.
And it will save the average household £30 a month on bills.
Britain’s broadband network is lagging well behind other countries.
Just 8 to 10 per cent of the UK has access to full-fibre broadband, compared to 98 per cent in South Korea.
Something clearly isn’t working.
This is core infrastructure for the 21st Century. I think it’s too important to be left to the corporations.
The most efficient and rapid way to deliver a broadband network fit for our times, and make it a genuine public service for all, is for the public to take control.
So under our plans, we will create a new public enterprise – and we’ll call it British Broadband.
British Broadband will oversee a publicly-owned full-fibre network and deliver free broadband to every home, with a phased roll-out over ten years.
To do that we will bring the relevant parts of BT, including Openreach, into public ownership.
By creating British Broadband as a public service, we will lead the world in using public investment to transform our country, reduce people’s monthly bills, boost our economy and improve people’s quality of life.
And it will have national security benefits too.
To me, that’s common sense. The corporations have been unable or unwilling to roll out full-fibre fast enough, and they have little incentive to invest in rural and remote parts of Britain.
But under our plan, the priority will be those with least connectivity, mainly in rural and remote areas but also in some inner-city areas, unlocking new opportunities across huge swathes of our country.
And we will then move on to towns, giving a boost to local economies and making it easier for people to run successful businesses outside the big cities.
And finally, we will complete the roll-out in the well-connected urban centres.
Ask people about their experience with private broadband companies and many will tell you about internet dropouts and hours spent on hold listening to Vivaldi, waiting to speak to an overworked and underpaid customer service worker who probably can’t fix the problem anyway.
Full-fibre will provide the most reliable service, and British Broadband will be properly staffed, with guaranteed jobs for everyone currently working in broadband.
Under public ownership, key universal services can be run for the British people instead of for profit.
In July, when he was running for Conservative leader, Boris Johnson also promised to make full-fibre broadband available across the country – except he expected you to pay for it.
But it will surprise nobody that this was just another case of Johnson’s signature move: the broken promise.
So what is he now offering instead? A low-budget option using old copper cables that are already out of date.
Johnson’s plans are yet another billionaire wealth grab, bunging public money to big corporations including Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin instead of putting the technology in the hands of the British people.
We need real change.
But I know the question that will be on everyone’s lips: ‘how are you going to pay for it?’
Well let me tell you.
The initial upgrade to our infrastructure will be funded through our Green Transformation Fund.
And when it comes to the running costs, we’re not going to put that onto the British public, who have already forked out far too much for rip-off broadband.
Instead, a Labour government will close down tax tricks used by giants like Google and Facebook, who make millions in Britain while paying next to nothing to the public purse.
I pay my tax.
Everybody in this room pays their tax.
Small businesses pay their tax.
So why can’t the giant multinationals?
They think they can get away with not paying their share. Well I’ve got news for them: not anymore.
Labour believes that the British people deserve the very best.

The president of the European commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, spent years in his previous role as Luxembourg’s prime minister secretly blocking EU efforts to tackle tax avoidance by multinational corporations, leaked documents reveal.
Years’ worth of confidential German diplomatic cables provide a candid account of Luxembourg’s obstructive manoeuvres inside one of Brussels’ most secretive committees.
‘make life better for the many, not the few’
Except Labour is all about the few: blacks, Muslims, illegal migrants and vanishingly-small minorities, gays, lesbians, transsexuals, deviants, cosplayers, adult babies, gender nonconformists and mentally ill weirdos of every description.
But not Jews, strangely.
That went well then
economics is not one of my strengths, but, I do recognise it rules all human activites,
something Merlin fails to recognise, about who owns infrastructure, who invested in it and will they let you just take over without a fight
As I said a while ago it does remind me of the Kray twins, we are in charge now this is ours or else

True. The Romans praised English wine. England was covered with dense forest. It was warmer than today.
And then the left discovered the media could be easily manipulated with greed, and we end up where we are. denying the obvious, that there is no such thing as a ‘stable’ climate over long term. And CO2 has not much to do with it. Net zero is a pointless exercise by left wing zealots who believe CBBC predictions of doom and drugs give them a higher level of stupidity.

They have so much to say about slavery for example, let us just “explore that” for a moment:
What is modern slavery?
Forms of modern slavery
Modern slavery takes many forms. The most common are:
Human trafficking. The use of violence, threats or coercion to transport, recruit or harbour people in order to exploit them for purposes such as forced prostitution, labour, criminality, marriage or organ removal.
Forced labour. Any work or services people are forced to do against their will under threat of punishment.
Debt bondage/bonded labour. The world’s most widespread form of slavery. People trapped in poverty borrow money and are forced to work to pay off the debt, losing control over both their employment conditions and the debt.
Descent–based slavery. Most traditional form, where people are treated as property, and their “slave” status was passed down the maternal line.
Slavery of children. When a child is exploited for someone else’s gain. This can include child trafficking, child soldiers, child marriage and child domestic slavery.
Forced and early marriage. When someone is married against their will and cannot leave. Most child marriages can be considered slavery.
People end up trapped in modern slavery because they are vulnerable to being tricked, trapped and exploited, often as a result of poverty and exclusion. It is these external circumstances that push people into taking risky decisions in search of opportunities to provide for their families, or are simply pushed into jobs in exploitative conditions.
Yep lets pull down some statues in the UK that will help

Or, we could explore the “cultures / race ” of the main proponents of this, and I will bet you it is not whitee
Many societies throughout history have practised slavery, and Muslim societies were no exception.
It’s thought that as many people were enslaved in the Eastern slave trade as in the Atlantic slave trade.
It’s ironic that when the Atlantic slave trade was abolished the Eastern trade expanded, suggesting that for some Africans the abolition of the Atlantic trade didn’t lead to freedom, but merely changed their slave destination.

sModern slavery at UK Traveller site may be tip of iceberg, warns judge
Timothy Spencer QC, sentencing 11 people from one family, says such abuse could be happening nationwide on ‘shocking scale’ ?
Travellers across Britain may be exploiting thousands of victims of modern slavery “on a shocking scale”, a judge has said.
Timothy Spencer QC said he feared the “chilling” abuse of vulnerable men by a Lincolnshire family was being replicated at other Travellers’ sites.
Sentencing 11 members of the Rooney family at Nottingham crown court on Tuesday, he said: “You claimed that what went on at Drinsey was no different from what was going on at any Travellers’ camp around this country, that all Travellers had workers operating under similar conditions.
“Sadly, I very much fear that you may be correct about that. But that does not make any of it right.”
Last month, detectives said modern slavery and human trafficking was far more prevalent than previously thought, with the number of victims estimated to be in the tens of thousands.
There are more than 300 live policing operations in the UK targeting modern slavery, according to the National Crime Agency (NCA), which said there were 111 arrests in May and June related to 130 potential victims.
Travellers’ groups reacted angrily to the judge’s remarks. “The judge’s fears that this is a general issue are not founded in fact,” said Bill Forrester of the National Association of Gypsy and Traveller Officers.
