Met Police apologise to Nottingham University philosophy lecturer who was ridiculed during strip search: Officers mocked academic’s ‘smelly knickers’ and called her ‘rank’ after cutting off her clothes
Dr Duff, an assistant professor of philosophy at Nottingham University, had been arrested after she intervened in the arrest of a 15-year-old boy.
She tried to hand him a card listing his legal rights and told him to give a ‘no comment’ interview.
The teenager, who has not been named, was later found to have a six-inch knife in his sock in May 2013.
Police originally claimed they acted with professionalism after the philosophy professor refused to give her name.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10436053/Met-Police-apologise-philosophy-lecturer-ridiculed-strip-search.html
So, police forced to apologise to a woman interfering in the arrest of a kid with a 6 inch knife who repeatedly refused to give her name or co operate, that is the real story here
@Zephir There is something astounding The Police took NINE years to settle
Yet Sadiq tweeted
Tweeter How ridiculous you look saying ‘the met are right to have apologised’
it took an 8 year legal battle in which £10,000s had to be raised and throughout which they denied anything wrong and wouldn’t release cctv.
Only when it was pushed to court did they issue their sorry appology
Koshka Duff “In October 2021, I received £6,000 in compensation and an apology from the Met. I don’t believe a word of it.”
The taxpayer has paid for an unnecessary trial where officers complained she had assaulted them
but she was acquitted cos they couldn’t explain her injuries
The taxpayer has paid years of legal fees.
Justice paid – cos the police say officer’s can be punished cos they have left the force.
https://novaramedia.com/2022/01/24/the-met-just-apologised-for-strip-searching-me-i-dont-believe-a-word-of-it/
The wronguns
#1 The kid for carrying the knife
#2 Koshka Duff (AKA Konstancja Duff) for interfering with the arrest
#3 The police for arresting her .. there was no need to do anything except push her aside
#4 The police custody officers for being insulting.
#5 The police lawyers for dragging in on
The correct action is to say “This was wrong, our officers were stressed and rude”
I note that in the very long 2018 BBC report about misconduct tribunal
the BBC ended by quoting her saying it was a sham.
I doubt the BBC report bout someone like Tommy would have allowed him to say that.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-45439954
She now runs a Defund The Police Campaign
so that is where any compensation from the taxpayer ends up.
officer’s can typo “officer’s can be punished ” = “officers can’t be punished
The police line is that they held onto the CCTV while the disciplinary tribunal took years to look at the case of 1 or 2 officers.
Then in Oct 2021 under threat of court action they released the apology and CCTV
but say the 1 or more other officers shown in the CCTV clearly abusing her, cannot be disciplined cos they have left the force.
just imagine, for a moment, Trump had said the following:
‘Stupid son of a b***h!’ Joe Biden lashes out after being asked about rising inflation
JOE BIDEN has called a reporter a “stupid son of a b***h” after he was asked whether inflation could cause electoral problems for the Democrats in November’s midterms.

Oh wait…….The Guardian
‘Dumb son of a bitch’: Trump attacks McConnell in Republican donors speech
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/apr/11/donald-trump-mitch-mcconnell-dumb-son-of-a-bitch-republicans-fauci-chao-mar-a-lago
And the Guardian this time, “appears To” and “seemingly”
Joe Biden appears to insult Fox News reporter over inflation question
President caught on mic seemingly swearing at Peter Doocy as journalists left a news conference
And on the bbc a while ago :
Supporters of Donald Trump have sparked outrage in US media with merchandise attacking Hillary Clinton that many people say uses lewd and demeaning language.
T-shirts saying “Trump that bitch” and badges with similar mottos were found on display at rallies.
That Guardian story about Trump calling someone a SOB generated very little Twitter attention
Tweets of just 5 likes, none with hundreds etc.
And on Biden, the bbc usual silence this time regarding their apparent former condemnation of “lewd and demeaning language”
suddenly the bbc becomes so prim and proper about language that their marxist syncophants seem to so often forget
A BOMBER who blew himself up outside a hospital was suspected of making up details in an asylum claim six years earlier, court papers show.
Emad Al-Swealmeen, 32, pretended to have Syrian heritage in paperwork he filed to try to persuade authorities to allow him to stay here.
He arrived in the UK in May 2014 legally using a Jordanian passport.
His asylum claim was dismissed and the next year he lost an appeal.
Iraqi-born Swealmeen claimed he had post-traumatic stress at the hearing in April 2015.
But the judge rejected his claims after hearing he gave vague details and knew little about Syria.
It raises new questions over why he was not pursued for deportation.
Swealmeen was waiting for a fresh appeal when his bomb went off in a taxi in Liverpool on November 14

The BBC fiddled whilst the Ukraine burned. And we are
supposed to pay £158 a year to this anarchist anarchist Marxist
organization.
The stabbing in Maida Vale yesterday struck me as particularly savage – before I knew they guy who did it was black. The guy repeatedly stabbed her again and again saying ‘take it, take it’ and threatening any onlookers who went close.
I have seen far less barbaric murders get front page coverage for a week on the BBC. If a white man did it that is. This one has been dropped already.
The headline today is that Boris had a birthday gathering at work in lockdown where people ‘sang Happy Birthday and were served cake.’
I would not believe our country could end up like this. The Left destroy everything they try to change for their ideological agenda. They are no different from the Nazis – who were also socialists.
This medialand habit of picking on small things by one side
whilst ignoring huge crimes by others
is very like a school bully gang.
This man will explain everything ..
The chap ( hero?) who has been affected for ( murder ?) will have a life changing media experience … whatever the outcome of the trial .
And there will be a trial – if there is ‘colour ‘ there will be a prosecution ( but please let me be wrong ) …
… on a personal note – has anyone here gone through the quarantine of the Day 2 test ? I know the lab has my sample and that I should get the result in the next 24 hours – reminds me of having a bet where you are on an ‘Acca’ and waiting for the last gg to win ….
Thank you for contacting us about the BBC News Website.
The BBC does not have a view on US President, Joe Biden or former president, Donald Trump. Our coverage is intended to be balanced and informative by speaking to range of contributors, including those who support and those who respond to criticism of any story we are covering. There may be times when there is a consensus view on an issue, which will become apparent in our coverage; this doesn’t mean that we are agreeing with it, but simply that we’re reflecting the reality of what is happening.
Another beauty.
The next Americast will doubtless be analytically interesting.
I wonder what Sopes is up to?
Ah…
He has, of course, offered to save BBC political reporting credibility, I note.
“Of course” – that is a political snide remark,
Seems that after his success in his StopTrump campaign
Sopel is being used in a StopBoris campaign.

‘They were like bandits’ – how did the rich get richer?
There is a perception that – since the financial crash 15 years ago – the wealthiest in society have become wealthier, yet everyone else hasn’t. Could one policy in particular – aimed at helping all sections of society out of financial trouble – be to blame? Sometimes you just need someone else to join all the dots.
As a political journalist, I have lived through the financial crisis, the coalition government, Brexit and the pandemic. A theme in all these periods since 2007 was the growing feeling that the rich were getting richer and everyone else wasn’t. Now, a two-part BBC documentary looks at possible links connecting each period with an ever-growing sense of wealth inequality. The main culprit? The Bank of England’s policy of quantitative easing – or QE – which began in March 2009.

TOADY Watch #1 – The Carrie “Let them eat cake” Antoinette Edition
6 a.m. on TOADY. Hoist by his own petard, the PM is, has been and always will be. What is behind his trouser fly should have been locked up or lopped off long ago. What an irony, his mistress, now his wife in his Roman Catholicism (another ‘Antoinette’ link) phase has sunked him.
Or at least, that is how it appears. No way back now?
I gather the Heseltine shark was already circling the water where the PM political corpse will be tossed, baring his teeth, licking his lips and wanting to take the UK back into the European Union. That is what this is all about.
UP2 – speaking as a not very good RC – I respectfully don’t equate the religion with Mrs nut nut truly exhibiting all the attributes of a woke snowflake kidult . Is she over 30 ?
I read a situation where the ‘glamour ‘ of such a high profile existence – with lots and lots of ‘sisters ‘ really zapped an already zapped head .
A totally uninformed view of course – but deductions based on favoured loony subjects – green crap – cycling – happy clapping – obscene expensive tastes paid for by dodgy donors – peerages for pals – and get togethers in the bunker – but no Russian artillery in the distance – yet . ….
Renewed the no ‘today ‘ new year resolution ….
As an aside – as I was doing my day 2 covid self test yesterday (£40) that imbecile grant Shapps ( of cycle highway fame ) was telling us the day 2 test is a waste of time but won’t be ended til 11 February – …. these characters have no regard for us – almost all politicians of all flavours …
Another btw for Piku – I took your sniping post down last night – it had nothing to do with this site ….troll elsewhere comrade
Fed, I was linking my post to a bit of history ie. Marie Antoinette’s husband and all that was going on in France at the time, Cardinals, Popes, etc. No slur intended on good or even bad RC’s here and now. Even four good
musketeersBrexiteers cannot save the PM now. Or will he miraculously escape somehow?With my apologies for being too obscure in my original post.
Maybe Guest Who understood it?
PS re tests: Because the Cabinet don’t come from a science or engineering background they do not have the knowledge to interrogate scientists and medical people on accuracy and other important issues, eg. facemasks – why they are used; scrubs – why they are used, etc.
Up2 – unlike too many others – I would not be offended at what someone says about the religion ….. anyway if I was meant to – I would forgive you …. ( pity the same doesn’t apply to certain teachers with pictures …) …
As for the intellectual level of the cabinet – not much there – and as I’ve said too many times – nut nut just cannot do detail – I reckon he is a bit like the false coloured VP would can’t be bothered to read the Janet and John briefs for her .
Others here have talked about what should or should not be in a public inquiry – which by the look of it won’t be done by 2030 … unless of course – a labour government drives nails into the current regime – instead of it doing it to itself .
The Gray Report looks more distant too ….
( btw – I’m glad you didn’t bite on the cycling mention )
Fed, and I gladly forgive you for not understanding my post’s ‘between the lines’ 😉 . You do a difficult job on here really well; it must be a nightmare having to read and understand every post including obscure references, hidden phrases, etc.
As to cycling, I despair at what the imbecile politicos (incl. L Authorities and even greater imbecile ‘climate campaigners’ do with taxpayer monies and cycling lanes, etc.
Up2
I’ve watched something about ‘the Highway Code ‘( anyone know what that is ?) and how cyclists can now ride in the middle of the road or side by side ….
…\
I wondered if this is a kind of Darwinian experiment or an attempt to get more cyclists killed or at least in the A & E …..
Certainly all those head camera footage s will be on the twitter in a few days – as well as taped of roads …
Again I don’t see any new laws
cyclists have always had the right to ride 2 abreast
The law always has been that when you turn left, the pedestrian walking straight on has priority.
However in the city it’s practical on both sides not to do either.
However in a village a parent might well ride on the outside of their child to give some safety
Likewise people tuning left do often stop and signal a pedestrian to keep walking.
Though of course some countryside people drive like rally drivers.
Cyclists in Kent, and probably everywhere else, have to cycle a good way out in the road to avoid the drain cover repairs, where here, they like to reseat them about two inches below the road surface, and let the tar and aggregate break up at the edges!
If we don’t finish up over the handlebars, we get the skids on all the loose gravel, and when avoiding them, there’s always a foreign lorry ready to force you into the kerb.
And all those trucks on the M20, which according to the thicker autocue readers, can be seen from space! So what? Half of them are foreign anyway, so Brexit really is working for us!

It’s just media mock outrage again
The reporters were taking the P by asking off topic questions
Biden asked for on-topic questions “Lowering prices”
Doocy asked one on-topic phrased in a gotcha way.
“Is inflation a political liability ?”
Biden is annoyed at the phrasing cos of course inflation is a liability not an asset… so he mutters “SOB”
At that point the staff were already clearing the room, so Doocy didn’t even hear it.
Afterwards Biden calls him “It’s nothing personal pal”
If a reporter asked Trump a gotcha question he might call him a son of a b*tch too. .. It’s no big deal.

Rotherham sex abuse investigation to cost £90,000,000
https://metro.co.uk/2018/10/29/rotherham-sex-abuse-investigation-to-cost-90000000-8086256/
The full investigation into child sex abuse in Rotherham is set to cost more than £90 million by 2024.
A gang of seven men has been convicted today, with one victim telling a trial at Sheffield Crown Court how she had sex with ‘at least 100 Asian men’ by the time she was 16 and another described how she was gang-raped in a forest and threatened with being abandoned there.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) is conducting its own investigation into the police response to what was happening in Rotherham.
Another day another party event
Moreover: the events of the party…
What – according to the BBC – links Boris Johnson and the NHS?
I’ll give you a clue – Queen and David Bowie sang about it.
That’s right – both the PM and our nationalised health service are constantly under pressure.
BBC: ‘Boris Johnson is under renewed pressure after Downing Street admitted staff gathered inside No 10 during the first Covid lockdown to mark his birthday.‘
Oddly, the BBC’s top story is borrowed from and attributed to their commercial rival.
‘ITV News reported that up to 30 people attended the June 2020 event, sang Happy Birthday and were served cake.‘ – Blimey, what with that orgy and all the cheese and wine, bring your own bottle, it must have been something akin to the last days of Rome down there in Downing Street.
Party boy Boris to blame again. Although, we read the actual ITV account and note this little extra detail: ‘A surprise party, with cake, and up to 30 guests‘ – the definition of which would tend to be that it was a surprise for Boris and he didn’t know it was planned. And if you think I’m getting a bit lost in the weeds, harping on about silly details, just read and digest the tone of the preamble to the ITV report: ‘ITV News UK Editor Paul Brand outlines the events of the party, ITV News understands took place during lockdown‘
There used to be a saying implying things were being blown out of proportion – don’t make a Federal Case out of it.
Seriously, if anyone were really so naive as to believe that our leaders were abiding – to the letter – by their own daft lockdown social distancing rules, then I’ve got a Ukraine War that’s in our interest and some Global Warming to sell them.
The Daily Mirror headline reveals at least a certain degree of self-reflection: ‘Another day… another party. PM’s No10 birthday bash in lockdown‘ – there comes a point in a determined media pile on, all you Labour supporters and others still so sore about Brexit that Boris has to hang for it – where less is more – the public will increasingly feel sympathy for the scape goat. Poor Bojo, standing there in the frontpage pics like a guilty schoolboy with his birthday cake the Guardian and Times have to admit was one a school he visisted earlier in the day gave him.
The Telegraph has a similiar notion as to the maturity of the present administration: ‘Tory peer resigns over “schoolboy” handling of covid loan fraud‘
The fact is – I have to tell the media – this No10 party story – thank you all the same, I just couldn’t manage another slice, thank you. Not another spoon-fed crumb.
The Daily Mail plays this one down a bit and suggests – perhaps typically for Boris – you’d have to ask Carrie or do a vox pop of gals around the posher parts of West London – this latest party was a bit of a quicky: ‘New storm over Boris’s 10-minute birthday ‘party’ at No10‘- ten minutes yet ITV boldly promise a blow by blow account – in case you thought you were missing out on any important details.
‘Singing & cake as nation stuck to the rules‘ – claims the maudlin Mirror, as I’m frankly, about to be sick.
‘You can’t have your birthday cake… and eat it Boris‘ – says the Sun rather reasonably, in my opinion. However, more fool us plebs for happily digesting all the lockdown, social distancing, social gathering restictions on the healthy nonsense – when we should have known better.
Is Britain becoming a bit of a banana republic?
The giveaway Metro freesheet meanwhile carries news of: ‘Jabs joy for hols abroad‘ and a big advert for an estate agent – we consider the possibility for a moment that we’ve mistakenly picked up the Lagos Nigeria or Kingston Jamaica late edition, since every person pictured on that frontpage advert and features – bar Boris and Carrie – is Afro-Caribbean.
I have watched the Netflix offering of ‘Munich the edge of war ‘ last night. I read the book a year or two ago and found it ok , started well and then got silly after half way. The film , as is often the case, wasn’t as good as the book.
I wondered how a few BAMES could be crammed into 1938 London or Munich. Perhaps we could have Adolf payed by a black chap , or have SS bodyguards played by Syrian refugees clutching their welcoming teddy bears. But no, we had a black senior civil servant in No 10 and one of secretaries ,who was supposedly related to the head of the British Secret Service , played by a lady of south Asian origin.
I admit that after several years of the MSM shoehorning BAMES into British history I’m not adjusting to the new Britain they want to create. It stills annoys me and I watch films like this to be entertained and enjoy a little escapism . I don’t want to be reminded what modern Britain has become and therefore what has been lost.
What grates with me the most is how over-representation of white people was deemd unacceptably racist, but now it’s the other way round is celebrated as ‘diversity’. It’s shameless hypocrisy and double standards – though I suspect most of wokeys don’t even realise. They are just swept along in group-think.
I’m at the point now that I turn a TV program off as soon as it’s very clear a BAME has been shoehorned into a role which should be white. Which means I watch a lot of older stuff like The Rockford Files which still has BAME in it, but in roles which match real life.
‘Vera’ is the worst of the bunch at the moment for me, but all popular programs have been hijacked by the Left now. They steal their popularity as vehicles for the agenda.
The ‘General’ (Brigadier) in Darling buds is an Indian (I think), and Charlie is now tinted as well!
What utter crap these beeboids spurt out these days, H.E.Bates was a great writer in his day, so why can’t the W1AA bunch get someone to write their own sort of stuff, so that nobody needs to watch it!
What a pathetic bunch of wokers we have for £159 a year.
Doublethinker- I also watched “Munich the edge of war.”
Robert Harri’s book Munich also a “faction novel” was
a degree superior to the film. To be honest I expected
Hitler to be played by a black actor.
George MacKay the star of the film as Chamberlain’s
PPS, had the same expression on his face the whole film.
The redeeming part of the film for me was seeing the
German actor August Diehl playing a similar role to
the one he played in ” Inglorious Bastards” He was the
the SS officer who joined the table in the bar scene.
For me the best part of Inglorious Bastards.
A better book on partly the same subject is Graham
Hurley’s ” Estocada.” Estocada is part of a group
of books , which are faction novels on the Second World War.
Although perhaps only 20% factual they are terrific reads.
His last book ” Last flight to Stalingrad” for which there
is going to be a sequel is one of the best page turners I
have ever read. The depravity in Stalingrad is brilliantly
portrayed.
Double – thank you for not giving a ‘spoiler ‘… did it end well ?
Well the story seeks to rehabilitate Chamberlain’s reputation . Stressing that he didn’t have the ability to oppose Hitler’s take over of the Sudetenland as the British and French rearmament programmes were well behind that of Germany. ( Chamberlain’s role in opposing rearmament in the mid thirties wasn’t touched on) .
It argues firstly that he bought the allies a vital 11 months , albeit at the expense of the Czechs , during which time they became militarily much stronger , which is very true. (Indeed if the allies generalship had been able to cope with the revolutionary tactics of Blitzkrieg they would probably have won a war of attrition and material in 1940. It was German generalship not material which won the battle of France)
Secondly , it argues that by persuading Hitler to sign his memorandum stating that Germany had no more territorial claims and was committed to peace , that when Hitler broke his word , as it claims Chamberlain expected he would, Hitler was shown to the world to be a duplicitous liar and not a man to do business with. The book suggests that this was important in persuading Roosevelt that Germany must be opposed and paved the way for Churchill to work with FDR in 1940/41 to bring the US into the war.
Double – I don’t think this is the place for the subject – but – do you think Roosevelt would have ever taken the US into a European Civil War ? The US didn’t do much when the luffwaffe was flattening Blighty ….
Then the French – I know hitler was fighting his generals over the attack to the west because they thought they weren’t strong enough – but one version was that France was in a political and social mess although they had more and better tanks – as well as the maginot? Line
Strange echoes of putin chancing it with crimea and now Ukraine ….rebuilding the Greater Russian Empire …
I too watched it the other night, and totally agree with DoubleT. I would also add it was badly miscast. One of the young male leads only had one blank expression on his face throughout the film, and Hitler was put together by a wardrobe mistress in the dark !
With the never ending shoe-horning in of BAMEs in unrealistic historical roles, I believe its a way of indoctrinating future generations who watch these ‘diversity ridden’ films, that its a true depiction of how Britain has always been, and they will believe it, because these parents of the future are not in the slightest bit interested in REAL history. And to add credence to their belief, the population of BAMEs will have more than tripled the current numbers.
Brissels,
Yes present day entertainment learnt a lot from 3rd Reich propaganda and from Lenin . Tell a lie often enough and it becomes the truth.
The answer to wether or not the US would have entered the war against Germany without Pearl Habour and Hitler’s looney declaration of wAr on the US is, who knows! But I’m sure the main thrust of the book that Chamberlain’s now infamous piece of paper did make it easier for FDR and Churchill to bring the US in and make Germany enemy No1 ,must be correct. Although the extent to which it did that is also unknown.
Double – reckon that the US would have just left hitler to it – let him take Europe – Divvy up the British Empire – let him deal with Russia – leave the japs have china and their bits of the European Empire .
Always self interest ….
Laura has a source backing up Paul’s husband’s allegation.
At around 0720 I was listening to the short business report – a rare brighter spot in the Toady schedule thanks to the intelligence of the interviewees. But even this is not free from the BBC’s ‘journalism’.
In this slot a journalist who would otherwise never hear of talks to a City person who have never heard of.
And yet.
The journo talks in clipped, fast, almost angry intonation. Disdainful, disrespectful, condescending. Full of her own importance. Barely interested in the answers given, more eager to go on to the next question. Who the hell does she think she is?
It made me wonder. How are these journos trained ? To believe they are God? To search only for the ‘gotcha’ moment? I think I can answer my own questions. The BBC training department is clearly run with the aims of subversion and undermining.
When even the junior nobodies behave like this then you can see the BBC is rotten to the core.
Training starts with a brief camera pan of subject walking towards interviewer – this has become an essential technique but for no apparent reason, perhaps to prove sentience of interviewee.
All speech to camera is delivered with arm and hand movements of varying severity and/or dynamism, a visual enforcement of (a) the vital importance of the interview, and (b) the personal importance of the interviewer.
Movements can be self-conscious double hand jerks, simple up/downs (generally confined to local TV) up to and including theatrical sweeps (perfected by Justin Rowlatt, currently top go-to climate change guru).
Whether these extraneous gestures add any merit or focus to the subject is a grey area but seem based on a sliding pay scale with the most emphatic probably attracting the highest remuneration.
Yes BBC journos generally speak too fast
.. Andrew Neil doesn’t.
Yes, that’s very true, and when they get over-excited they move their heads from side to side in a peculiar jerky fashion, as if they’re so pleased to shout at something! It’s an infantile reaction and not very pleasant really, especially in the worst of them, Sopes, who jerks his mug so furiously, that his face becomes a bit of a blur, which is actually hilarious, and very welcome!
Maybe someone should give him some training?

From 2018…. from me to the BBC….
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 :

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.

Beth Rigby re-appeared on Sky News on Monday after being removed from air for three months over a breach of coronavirus rules.
The channel’s political editor, who regularly held top politicians to account in her reporting of Covid restrictions during the pandemic, was dramatically taken off duty in December when it emerged she had attended a non-compliant birthday event with anchor Kay Burley.
Burley was removed from air at full pay for six months, as revealed by i, while Rigby and north of England correspondent Inzamam Rashid were handed three month punishments.

TOADY Watch #2 – oh dear, BBC, you have put your big feet in it now
Brains clearly not working at the BBC. The TOADY prog played a clip of the statement by a Treasury Peer, Lord Agnew, in the ‘other place’, yesterday. He was quite clear in his resignation statement that Treasury ‘officials’, ie. Civil Servants, were not doing their jobs properly. That confirms what I have always thought was revealed by the Pandemic in February and March 2020. We are in a Civil War in the UK at present, it is caused by Brexit and especially who the PM is. The Civil Service, the remainer MSM, the Labour Party (who are themselves divided over the EU), the BBC and other TV/radio providers are all hostile to a Brexit providing Conservative Party and are out for revenge.
There is a coup attempt going on, in fact more than one. PM. Conservative Government. Monarchy. It is being done in a very British way, the usual British way, no guns, no bombs, no actual violence. Various houses are all under attack.

There must be some kind of chicken game going on where Conservative MP,s taunt each other to appear on that r4 8,10 slot.
I tuned in to see if much had changed to hear Grant Shaps being tortured by DJ just remain-in webb,
All Shaps had to say was ” Give it a rest mate” the moment Webb brought up the latest partyGate ,,,,it made me chuckle though to hear Webb,s voice contort with venom when he described the production of a Birthday Cake as if it were a large plate of steaming dung.
If he had treated me like that I would have force fed him a spoonful.
Trubble – I wonder when the day will come where politicians regularly and strongly bite back – even going on the attack – for instance – talking about personal details of the interviewer – something the media trainers seem to believe is forbidden …
It’s a great kicker for the BBC to harangue a Government Minister each day for virtually the whole 10 minutes of the 08:10 am ‘long’ interview on Radio 4’s Today programme about nothing other than the BBC’s vendetta against Boris Johnson, then a few minutes later to have another beeboid complain that Government Ministers are spending all of their time discussing ‘Partygate’, so they therefore can’t be paying proper attention to their ministerial duties.
BBC ….. biased ? …. no, really ?
Fedup….
Does make you wonder if these top Conservative politicians dont have the nous to handle these DJs …a casual mention of their state funded salaries in comparison to the UK average might be a starting point?
Trubble – I don’t get it – if someone walks out of an interview it’s big news – but if there was regular challenging of the existence of – say – Robinson – maybe the interviews might start having value –
Juxtapose with those conducted on GBNEws where time is given to the view of the interviewee – it seems like going back to a better time – no ‘ now the weather ‘ but still too many techy issues for me …
Remainer godfather Michael Heseltine made a helpful intervention on the PM’s behalf this morning, telling Sky that Boris’s resignation would re-open and threaten Brexit.

The Westland affair in 1985–86 was an episode in which Margaret Thatcher, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, and her Secretary of State for Defence, Michael Heseltine, went public over a cabinet dispute with questions raised about whether the conventions of cabinet government were being observed and about the integrity of senior politicians.
The argument was over the future of Westland Helicopters, Britain’s last helicopter manufacturer, which was to be the subject of a rescue bid. The Defence Secretary, Heseltine, favoured a European solution, integrating Westland with a consortium including British Aerospace (BAe), Italian (Agusta) and French companies. Thatcher and Trade and Industry Secretary Leon Brittan, while ostensibly maintaining a neutral stance, wanted to see Westland merge with Sikorsky, an American company.
Is it my imagination or is GB News now interviewing more and more left wing and Labour MP’s ? is it because in previous months no left winger would dare to be seen on a clearly right wing news programme. What’s changed ?

Both figures are correct. The Iraq Inquiry, chaired by Sir John Chilcot, spent just over £13 million over the eight years it was in action. The Leveson Inquiry into press culture and standards, back in 2011 and 2012, came in at about £5.4 million over roughly a year.

Liverpool bomber lied to stay in UK, documents released to BBC show
The bBC could easily pursue the ineptitude of the HO and use it against Boris but are unwilling to do so (ditto with the dinghies). Why don’t they I wonder? The reason is that the bBC constantly supports and encourages all actions by civil servants, activists, lawyers and lefties that keep illegals here. This seems to take priority over everything.

Interest payments on government borrowing last month hit a record high for December as surging inflation increased the cost of debt.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said interest on government debt hit £8.1bn last month – up from £2.7bn a year earlier.
The increase came as soaring energy costs sent inflation to a 30-year high.

Just thinking about the new changes to the Highway Code. If motorists are obliged to give a 1.5 metre gap between themselves and cyclists, surely that must cut the other way ?
For instance, surely cyclists must create a 1.5 metre gap between themselves and cars ? So, for instance, no weaving through traffic lanes, or undertaking motor vehicles at traffic lights, corners, etc.
And, if not, why not ? Surely that will potentially create far more safety for cyclists than any other rules ? Or would that just p*$$ off tyrant cyclists, such as the likes of the BBC’s Jeremy Vine ?
Drivers are in a metal box doing 60mph
Cyclists are doing 10mph so can stop quickly.
In practice drivers give cyclists a lot of room, perhaps knowing there are big potholes.
Sometimes I come up an un busy dual carriageway 2 mile hill, 95% of motorists switch to the other lane
but 5% think they can pass me in my lane, that is reckless.

Boris orders a review of ‘Partygate’ by well-regarded senior Civil Servant, Sue Gray.
The left (including the BBC, naturellement) screams ‘blue murder’, loudly proclaiming that this isn’t enough, and the Police must be involved…
…..the Police agree, and set about their own investigation…
….Sue Gray interrupts her investigation because she cannot prejudice any police investigation….and it may now be some months before the Sue Gray report is finished.
….the left’s response … “Whaaaaaaa ? No, No, No….. we didn’t want that….”
Unintended consequences are a bitch, right ?
richard, Sue Gray wouldn’t be a Civil Servant by any chance? Might explain ‘the Left’s’ position.
Think if I was an MP, and definitely if I was a Minister or Junior Minister or Whip (Sen or Jnr), I would now want a shorthand wielding secretary or a tape/digi recording of every meeting that I was in whether in DSt, the House or in a Ministry. Even in the constituency offices I would want a diary record of where I was and what was said.
Up2snuff, I fully appreciate your point, but…..then any discussions never get past what the participants think will be OK to say, just in case the media gets hold of it.
So, the media rules the country. As Dave Allen might have put it…. may your deity forbid that !
richard “So, the media rules the country.” true, so very true and the civil war against the Conservatives continues unabated.
Reflecting on the current accusations that the government let people get away with huge amounts of fraud as we sank into the COVID pandemic….weren’t the same people who are now complaining, battering the government for not allocating contracts fast enough, because Ministers wanted to properly vet any companies getting these very valuable contracts ?
I certainly recall the demands at the time, widely promoted by the BBC as well, that the Government just get a ‘move on’, because ‘COVID’, and to hang with any subsequent problems.
‘Problems like fraud’, I remember saying when these tantrums were being thrown. But these little obstacles seem to have gone straight down a memory hole as far as the BBC is concerned.
