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.

Right – time to get togged up, (well, better than I’m wearing now, anyway) and hit the trail towards ‘an homage to Mr Burns and his works’ as it has been described to me.
“Fair fa’ your honest sonsie face…….”, as far as I can recall, but I am sure if that needs amended, so it will be, by someone !
Happy Burns’ Night to all – wherever.
How many will end up in the NHS Burns unit tonight ?
Robert Burns, Scotland’s national poet, is loved the world over as the bard of freedom, liberty and the common good of humankind. So it comes as a great shock to many that he once accepted a job to help manage a slave plantation in the West Indies. What is the real story here? How could our Burns, the people’s poet, look to become an instrument in what many now call ‘The Black Holocaust’?

Lame excuses from Man United stars Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard – known for their stance against racism – after they were pictured partying with disgraced ‘anti-Semitic’ rapper Wiley in Dubai
Wiley was banned from Twitter in July 2020 after being widely condemned for a series of posts, including one which called Jewish people ‘cowards and snakes’.
He caused further controversy when he claimed his Jewish associates in the music and entertainment industry ‘still see us as slaves’ in an interview with The Voice newspaper

Construction Workers in Dubai – Modern Slavery in the UAE
Before we begin: modern slavery in Dubai is something that I’ve written about before. In my previous article, I gave an overview of the conditions that migrant workers in Dubai have to deal with and why this amounts to modern day slavery before questioning why tourists continue to flock to Dubai despite its shocking human rights violations. If you’re new to the topic of slavery in Dubai then I suggest you check out that article first, before coming back to this one.
https://travellingjezebel.com/construction-workers-dubai-modern-slavery/
The process of recruiting foreigners as slaves in Dubai is really very similar to that of modern day slavery and human trafficking all around the world.
What is shocking about slavery in Dubai is that the recruiting of slaves is done right out in the open, with the slave owners hiding in plain sight.
First, you create a dream to be sold.
With a city like Dubai, that isn’t hard to do. You simply show glittering panoramic shots of the skyline, dangling the luxury of Dubai on a thread and emphasising the huge salaries and excellent quality of life that is yours to enjoy in this adult playground.
Dubai has marketed itself for years as a cosmopolitan paradise where dreams are made, and so it isn’t difficult to convince a poverty-stricken man from rural Bangladesh who is struggling to feed his family that life in Dubai must be better.
Next, you have to sell that dream.
slavery ?
Doesn’t look much different from immigrant workers dorms in SE Asia.
Surely submarine dorms are similar.
Nor much different to where we slept whilst working in Hong Kong in 1994.
Same as lads in Auf Wiedersen Pet
Thai builders erect a basic shelter on-site made from corrugated iron and they all happily live in there until they have finished. They are far worse than that room and they always seem perfectly content to me. It’s what they are used to and being cold is not an issue.
The problem in places like Dubai is that they treat people they consider to be inferior like animals. I regularly go through the airport there and I can say without any doubt that the men parading around there in their brilliant-white dishdashas are the most ignorant and arrogant people I have ever encountered.
Of course the Left have nothing to say on the subject because Muslims can only be ‘victims’ to use against white people. Which makes me despise them even more for their rank hypocrisy.

“It’s time to impeach DHS Chief Mayorkas
The secretary’s brazen dereliction of duty is directly harming the American people
hose sworn to uphold the United States Constitution are given a sacred trust by the American people. When people violate that oath, they attack the principle of government by consent of the governed. In the case of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and the ongoing border crisis, violations of that oath can endanger American lives. As representatives whose state has come under siege by these policies, we are calling on Congress to begin impeachment procedures.
The case against Mayorkas is as lengthy as it is clear. In simplest terms, he has failed to faithfully execute America’s laws, and harmed Americans as a result, all to achieve a political outcome not supported by the law: establishing a wide-open border to issue legal status to as many illegal migrants as possible.
During this time, Secretary Mayorkas terminated construction of the border wall, despite Congressional appropriation. Worse still, the already purchased construction materials are rusting while paid-for contracts go unfulfilled.

Well if it were possible for the totally useless Rees Mogg to fall any lower in my estimation he managed it today.
While government ministers were unwilling to utter a word in defence of the rotten PMs partying Foggy leapt to his defence, whilst all the time knowing that the inevitable is on its way on swift wings.
To me it proves Foggy is a man who cannot be trusted to put either his country or his party first. As an alumi of the rotten school at Windsor he chose to sacrifice both for the old school tie, whilst all the time knowing what he was doing was wrong, but doing it non the less.
How can this man ever be trusted again, he may have some misplaced loyalty but to put that before everything when even colleagues can see the ship is sinking is disreputable.
yeah… a real must have….
Re the partygate crap oozing out. It is becoming clear to me that the left wing press and the BBC are actually busily trying to reverse Brexit, they are rolling on talking head after talking head claiming that Brexit was down to a few nasty Conservatives. They are reluctant to mention the referendum result. Just trying hard to build equivalence with the party crimes committed by Boris and the decision to leave the EU.
Their devious machinations stink to high heaven.

9pm BBC2 ‘The Decade the Rich Won‘ begins tonight
The latest co-production between The OU and the BBC
The show looks at the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, as desperate attempts were made to save the UK economy, with first-hand accounts from key figures.
If Labour were to make a film about 2008 wouldn’t they use a similar title
Yes sure it’s easy to name people like Jeff Bezos that have done well
but I bet quite a few rich people went bankrupt or got sacked etc.
The BBC page uses 2 graphics
I first tried to use the pig graphic direct from the BBC website, but that one wouldn’t embed, so I used the same image from Twitter
Give all cleaners £1 million?
Yes but they neglect to mention that the party in power for 11 years leading upto 2008 was left leaning. Tony Blair wasn’t that rich in 1997, what’s he worth now?
More enrichment on its way:

A report into child sexual exploitation will be published early next Spring.
The Independent Inquiry into Telford Child Sexual Exploitation was set up after the Sunday Mirror claimed up to 1,000 girls had been abused by gangs in Telford since the 1980s.
Chairman Thomas Crowther QC said sections of the report will be shared with those criticised before Christmas.
The report will “provide a picture of how instances of CSE have changed over the years”, he said.
The Local Democracy Reporting Service said the former judge told an update meeting 164 witnesses had so far given evidence, but 12 former council employees and 17 ex-police officers or staff had “chosen not to assist us”.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-shropshire-58885608
Those found guilty could all legally have been deported, the far left cowardly useless incompetent Tories chose not to. Even the few who were judged should be deported have not been.
It’s difficult to understand how a party could be so useless and ineffective.
The report said several staff members were afraid they would be labelled racist if they identified the race of the perpetrators, while others said they were instructed by their managers not to do so.

Some were doused in petrol and threatened with being set alight, while others were threatened with guns, made to watch “brutally violent rapes” and warned they would be next if they told anyone.
AP “Tariq was arrested in September at Camp Upshur in Quantico after Marines observed him fondling the girl, who was not related to him, above her clothes on her private parts.
According to court papers, Tariq tried to explain through interpreters that his conduct was acceptable in his culture.
Efforts to have his statements suppressed were rejected by the judge.

The 34-year-old then led her into a churchyard of St Mark’s where he pulled down her top and licked her breasts despite her desperate pleas to stop.
He then tried to pull down the zip on her jeans before she walked off.
“He has three children and has been married for 13 years and has had recent difficulties with his wife and they are now living separately.”
Judge David Fletcher sentenced Zeynalov to 10 months in prison, suspended for 18 months, with a 30-day of rehabilitation requirement, six months of an alcohol treatment requirement and 120 hours unpaid work.

“You followed her and you ushered her into the grounds of a church, where you exposed her breasts.”

So Ms Gray’s “Partygate” report is being referred to the Met for their input. The talk was always that her report would be “factual” and not judgemental, i.e. she would not analyse each party and offer her opinion as to whether or not the rules were broken. Hardly surprising the Met is now deferred to in order to take these decisions as the final arbiter. Goodness knows how long this will take and how much it will cost. With all the serious crime being committed in London, stabbings, drugs, fraud etc the highly paid detectives working on investigating cheese and wine parties must be wondering what the hell is going on. Comment was made on GB News that the Met has to start from the beginning and re-interview all participants under caution.
Odd that the Met had consistently said they do not retrospectively investigate potential breaches but have backtracked and are now willing to make an exception for No. 10. They say it is because of the seriousness of the matter: so it’s nothing to do with the media and the Labour Party complaining their previous approach was unacceptable?
Also strange that the police who constantly patrol outside No 10 never became aware of any “parties” but if they were, a quiet word or even a £100 fine would have had the desired effect.
Interesting fact that came out of tonight’s Farage piece on GB News: looks as if any breaches of covid restrictions have to be laid before Magistrates within 6 months of the event otherwise they become time barred. That would wipe out any potential breaches that could have resulted in fines as the most recent event was April 2021. However, the Met may decide to say if any breaches had occurred even if fines can no longer be issued.
If Bojo somehow survives at least it will serve as a kick up the backside and there is some hope, maybe forlorn, that he will gradually row back on the green agenda with some decisive action on immigration and lower taxation. With an improving economy and if he starts acting more like a true blue Tory he could recover lost ground to some extent and resign at the end of 2023 to give his successor a year to settle in thus avoiding a build up of media and Labour Party hysteria against him about partygate, Paterson, No 10 refurb etc. as the election date approached.
Johnson might yet have his cake and be around a bit longer to eat it!
