“U.S. inflation up 6.2% in October versus a year ago – the highest inflation since 1990. Inflation was up 0.9% in Oct. alone, a much higher increase than 0.4% in Sept. and 0.3% in August. Bloody Brexit…”

Guest, Anna Soubry was complaining yesterday that now that she has lost her seat, she cannot get a third (now second) lucrative job. She is having to get by on her House severance pay (generous, iirc) and the pittance she earns as a defence barrister getting sweaty crims off the hook. “Is it ‘cos I is anti-Brexit, pro-Remain?” she whined.
Dear Anna Soubry,
Can you tell me why people have to “Suck It Up” regards immigration when your party leaders have said the following:
1978 … “Every country can take some small minorities and in many ways they add to the richness and variety of this country. The moment the minority threatens to become a big one, people get frightened.” – Margaret Thatcher 1978
2012 … “Two and a half years ago, the coalition governme nt was formed, and we made a clear promise to the British public. After thirteen years of uncontrolled mass immigration, this government would reduce and control immigration.” – Theresa May 2012
2015 … “Because when immigration is too high (no figure given), when the pace of change is too fast, it’s impossible to build a cohesive society…. And we know that for people in low-paid jobs, wages are forced down even further while some people are forced out of work altogether. … So there is no case, in the national interest, for immigration of the scale we have experienced over the last decade.” – Theresa May 2015
Yours sincerely

The very day before the Capitol event Prince Harry warned Jack Dorsey
‘Your platform is being used to mount an insurrection”
That makes it sound like it was an inside job
Harry’s mates were planning to stage something that looked like and insurrection, and that’s how Harry knew about it.
Bit strange that Harry who has all these deals to SPEAK
has waited 9 months to SPEAK anything of this.

YOUR COMPLAINT:
Complaint Summary: Follow up UK MP expenses of 2009 – MP paid £65K
Full Complaint: Dear BBC £3.5 billion paid under threat of prison complaints department,
Could you revisit the 2009 UK MP expenses again, I would not like to find out that MPs like Tony Blair have ran to the shredder prior to your investigations.
Here are some details, can you use Journalists who are avoiding the BBC Gary ‘£1.75m’ Lineker Pay Gap and see why an MP on £77K salary tops up their money with a job giving them £65K extra a year.
Maybe find other MPs on such amazing schemes and why they are getting free tickets to concerts when they have so much cash sloshing around in their MP expenses accounts.
Chuka Umunna MP, Streatham (tax payer pays him £77K per year) is being paid £65,040 a year Advisory Position at Global Progress (London) Ltd …
1) Look into what he produces for £65K a year. 2) Look at who owns the company and other players – Tony Blair is linked to it. 3) Find other MPs doing the same. 4) Ensure they are paying taxes on the extra money. 5) Maybe interview them and ask some questions rather than how they feel today? For a head start you can find the details on : THEY WORK FOR YOU https://www.theyworkforyou.com/regmem/?p=24950americanprogress.org https://www.americanprogress.org/about/staff/browne-matt/bio/ COMPANIES HOUSE https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/11079851/filing-history Good luck and let me know how you get on.
p.s. I also see that MPs claim their MP Office BBC TV Licenses Tax on their expenses, thus the UK tax payer has to pay their own TV License and their MP’s TV License. Might want to consider stopping this for the 650 MPs.

But how easy is it to build up a thriving TV industry in a new part of the country?
And faced with an influx of US programmes, should the government lay down legal requirements for ‘Britishness’ on TV?

The diplomat, who was part of a debate at the union, carried flowers while thugs yelled ‘aren’t you ashamed’
An Instagram handle called LSE Class War called for students to ‘smash her car window’ and ‘storm building’
Ms Hotovely said that she ‘will not be intimidated’ by a demonstration, adding the event itself was ‘excellent’

China – 3 child policy.
Three-child policy (Chinese: 三孩政策), whereby a couple can have three children, is a family planning policy in the People’s Republic of China. The policy was announced on 31 May 2021 at a meeting of the Politburo of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), chaired by CCP General Secretary, Xi Jinping, on population aging.
Human being have tamed nature
and can live in many areas of the Earth where other apes cannot live .
“Misanthropy is the general hatred, dislike, distrust or contempt of the human species, human behavior or human nature. “
Nope…. it’s a demand for white western people to have less children so their countries will have more room for immigrants to move in and control, and thats it!
It wrote before the incident: ‘Whoever smashes the Ambassador car window gets pints.’ The account later added: ’18:25: we’re storming in. Let’s make her shake. F*** the old bill.’
LSE Class War has previously been mocked from trying to ban private school students, eradicate free market economist Friedrich Hayek from the curriculum, no platform speakers and introduce minority quotas for staff at the university.
The LSE–Gaddafi affair was a scandal in the United Kingdom that occurred as a result of relationship that existed between the London School of Economics (LSE) and the Libyan government and its leader Muammar Gaddafi and his son Saif al-Islam Gaddafi.
The NGO Gaddafi Foundation pledged to donate £1.5 million over five years to a research centre, LSE Global Governance, of which £300k were paid. In addition, LSE Enterprise established a contract worth £2.2 million to train Libyan officials. In 2008, the LSE granted a PhD degree[1] to Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, the son of the Libyan leader, for a dissertation. Currently, allegations circulate that Gaddafi’s thesis was ghost-written and/or plagiarised.

Shhhhhhh ….. ‘But how can you control matter?’ he burst out. ‘You don’t even control the climate or the law of gravity. And there are disease, pain, death—’
O’Brien silenced him by a movement of his hand. ‘We control matter because we control the mind. Reality is inside the skull. You will learn by degrees, Winston. There is nothing that we could not do. Invisibility, levitation — anything. I could float off this floor like a soap bubble if I wish to. I do not wish to, because the Party does not wish it. You must get rid of those nineteenth-century ideas about the laws of Nature. We make the laws of Nature.’
‘But you do not! You are not even masters of this planet. What about Eurasia and Eastasia? You have not conquered them yet.’
‘Unimportant. We shall conquer them when it suits us. And if we did not, what difference would it make? We can shut them out of existence. Oceania is the world.’
‘But the world itself is only a speck of dust. And man is tiny helpless! How long has he been in existence? For millions of years the earth was uninhabited.’
‘Nonsense. The earth is as old as we are, no older. How could it be older? Nothing exists except through human consciousness.’

So, Malala is settled here (in Birmingham) then.

Her BBC Breakfast co-host Dan Walker added more than £15,000 to his £295,000 BBC salary with external engagements.
Meanwhile, Newsnight anchor Emily Maitlis was paid around £20,000 for three events to compliment her £370,000 salary from the corporation.
Long-standing news host Huw Edwards also added up to £10,000 to his annual £529,000 paycheck with engagements.
While none of the stars has done anything wrong – news of the payments came as the Tory Party remains mired in a sleaze scandal.
Can anyone else detect a slight difference in how the Poles are dealing with their illegal immigrants and how we attempt to do the job? It’s a tricky one…
The Poles erect vicious looking barbed wire fences and have thousands of tough looking troops lined along the length, armed to the teeth. So far they’ve only used pepper sprays and tear gas, but they have plenty of backup.
On the other hand…we collect them, bring them to Britain, put them up in four star hotels, feed them three meals a day and even give them spending money.
I wonder which will prove to be the greater deterrent?
Hmm…
And as soon as the illegal migrants enter UK waters they dial 999 for a taxi. Mind boggles
The bit which REALLY bugs me is how they know what they are entitled to and start demanding to be taken to their accomodation as soon as they are ashore.
Absolute madness.

Yoof and Con26 seem to have deranged most of the TV channels producers, they appear to be making an enormous push to shelve known presenters and replace them with stubble-faced uni aged nonces to trumpet their woke credentials.
If they think for a second that this obvious charade will bring hordes of new young viewers they are in cloud cuckoo land.
The most likely outcome is a rapid increase in jumping ship by their traditional (paying) older viewers.
It’s almost insulting what they are trying to do.
GB News could do worse than tempting all the older well known faces to build a powerful channel which truly represents its viewers. It would quickly overtake and crush the current hideously distorted mainstream outfits.
I’m beginning to wonder if they have secretly recruited Harry as an advisor as it’s such a dire direction they are moving in.
I think we are now in for the most boring and intensive climate propaganda onslaught which can only end in tears for the lot of them.
They are even saturating Children in Need with this climate crap now. (A sort of double whammy in their eyes I guess!).
The sooner they all crash and burn the better.
Ahhh, what a touching advertisement I just saw on TV for an over 50’s dating site.

***
Residents are being invited to help shape how Herefordshire Council meets the challenges of climate change by taking part in the Herefordshire Citizens’ Climate Assembly.
The Citizens’ Assembly brings together a representative group of people from across Herefordshire who have been independently selected. The people who attend will learn about issues, discuss them with one another, and then make recommendations about what should happen and how things should change. The assembly will support a range of voices from different walks of life to be heard, to contribute to decision making and in turn contribute to democracy.
A letter has been sent to 14,400 households in the county inviting them to register their interest in taking part in the Herefordshire Citizens’ Climate Assembly. From those who respond, a minimum of 48 participants will be selected by independent organisation The Sortition Foundation, to ensure that the final group represent the diversity of Herefordshire’s population.
The Citizens’ Climate Assembly will then meet in January to hear from expert speakers, discuss the issues involved and decide together what steps should be taken. Recommendations from the assembly will be used to influence council policy and spending priorities to help Herefordshire become a zero-carbon nature-rich county by 2030.
***
The BBC relevant part is how all the BBC funded, account holding local democracy reporters will throw behind this when very little I read there comes across as anything democratic and more rigged to the heavens.

I’ve resorted to binge watching Rake on Netflix. The funniest laugh out loud non wokist drama (about a Sydney Barrister) I’ve seen in a very long time.

Silly old Meghan: she clean forgot that she HAD briefed the authors of her biography after all, via her secretary – contrary to her previous denials.
Often and in detail.
“But in new evidence heard on Wednesday, Mr Knauf, the couple’s former communications secretary, said the book was “discussed on a routine basis” and “discussed directly with the duchess multiple times in person and over email”.
He also discussed planning a meeting with the authors to provide background information and said Meghan had given him briefing points to share with them, including information on how she had “very minimal contact” with her half-siblings during her childhood.
Mr Knauf’s evidence also included emails with the Duke of Sussex, discussing the proposed meeting with the authors and the need to conceal any involvement by Prince Harry and Meghan.
The former aide said Prince Harry replied: “I totally agree that we have to be able to say we didn’t have anything to do with it.
“Equally, you giving the right context and background to them would help get some truths out there.”

BIAS, OR JUST JOURNALISTIC IGNORANCE?
‘Calendar’ tonight had a piece about some women who were going to cycle around Sheffield or something to save the planet (I wasn’t really listening at that point). Of course they wheeled in an ‘expert’ (it was, it appeared, some university bod who makes a living from climate scaremongering). We were chastised for using our cars because they emit 200 to 400mg of CO2. Presumably they meant per kilometre. Apparently busses are better because they only emit 200mg per passenger. (The assumption was that a car has a driver but no passengers.)
Steady on lass! Busses emit 200mg per SEAT, not per person*. By definition service busses have a lot of empty seats on average, because they fill up en route. And that, of course, is if they do fill up. Most busses I see seem to be half empty. This reminds me of the claims made whenever a new wind farm opens: “The farm provides enough electricity to power over 22,000 homes…” Yep, it probably does, when there’s the right amount of wind. Most of the time there isn’t, so the actual output tends to average 20 to 25% of the quoted figure, and sometimes it drops to zero.
What a pack of half-truths and downright lies the media feeds us.
*apparently this is calculated on a ‘high’ occupancy rate (just how high no one wants to say!)

James Gray, a Tory MP and chairman of the All Party Parliamentary Group for the Armed Forces, told The Times: ‘These three, as I understand it, were in a British Airways lounge in Heathrow and made full use of the facilities.’
He said that by the time they got to the airport the three MPs were ‘pretty well-oiled’.
The two SNP men were reportedly ‘lairy’ and ‘rude’ when their coronavirus passes did not work at the airport gates, and it is claimed that military staff needed to intervene to calm them down.
MoD bosses received reports of the MPs’ conduct from military escorts on board the flight.
And the standard SNP response is called “whataboutery” countering an accusation with another
The SNP said in a statement: ‘These suggestions are inaccurate. Drew Hendry MP and David Linden MP were honoured to be invited to this important event and attended all engagements, including the welcome meeting and dinner shortly after landing.
‘Instead of trying to divert attention from the Tory corruption scandal engulfing Westminster, Ben Wallace should be apologising for his role in it, including voting to get Owen Paterson off the hook.’

.. also – the 3 drunk MPs on a jolly were named in the press but the BBC news refuses to name the female labour MP – who is ….one Charlotte Nichols … …
Bunter did not grope staff did he?
BBC asks a question.
What does that even mean?
GW,
The day they stopped saying, “thank you” when I held a door open for them is the day I stopped any, “responsibility” for women.
The BBC again has a vision of Gen Z.
Range extending.

I am genuinely confused at the lack of fight back by the Tories..
Why is it the media are solely approaching the Tories over sleaze..??
Why is it the foul mouthed Angela Rayner can rake in £120k in various donations and no mention. Why is it that Ed Davey can rake in £78k a year and no mention. Why is it that Keir Starker rakes in £ 28k a year and has earned £128k doing legal work since being in Parliament no mention. Why is it that Ian Black ford can rake in £40k a year working for an investment company and employ his son at tax payers expense and no mention, etc etc etc.
The BBC and other media outlets have yet to approach an MP from another party and scrutinize there conduct.
Where’ s the impartiality gone, we know it never existed in the BBC but even right wing media won’t approach other MP’s..

I reckon that it me three minutes to fill the petrol tank of my car and I can go 600 miles on that full tank. As far as I can see from the electric car manufacturer’s data , which is probably so optimistic as to be nearly a lie, it takes a minimum of 40 minutes to an hour to charge and can go a maximum of 300 miles on a nice flat track.
So I calculate that the refuelling rate for my car is around 3 miles per second whilst that for an electric car is 0.1 miles a second , 30 times slower.
I think that there fortunes to be made of setting up burger vans by all electric charging stations.
The Sky eco moppet first came to attention getting excited about ice melting in 12degrees.
