    Interesting article in the Mail today that the NI rise will not even cover the cost of Tory incompetence over Covid, whether its fraudulent loans, or PPE there is enough government waste to require 3% increase in NI just to cover it.
    That of course doesn’t include the amount spent which actually went to the right place over covid.

    As Margaret Thatcher observed Socialism only works until you run out of other peoples money, and Boris the Bottler certainly is a Socialist.

    Black Actor goes out and finds some dodgy drug dealers to feed his habit. He ends up dead from the effects of the drugs….

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-60238194

    “Treat this case as if Michael K Williams was hit by a bullet,” one police official instructed his officers, he later told the website. “Make believe he got shot.”

    So the blame rests entirely with the drug dealers and Williams was an entirely innocent victim, so much so that he was in fact murdered.

    The moral of this story to all the BBC’s drug user viewers is to make sure you only deal with ethical drug dealers to feed your addiction and not to simply stop taking narcotics. Maybe demand a clinical breakdown of what you are buying along with a guarantee you won’t end up dead.

    The problem really is the massive and widespread acceptance of drug-taking, particularly in the entertainment industry and other media professions including the News media because they are rich enough to be able to indulge. Without this the dealers would go out of business.

    The drug dealers were nothing more than retailers and would have no idea what was in the drugs, the manufacturers in South America are the ones who need to be taken down but Biden has simply opened up the US market to them and initiated a free-for-all.

    Williams might as well of put a gun to his own head and played Russian Roulette.

      Driving my car – mistake to have 5 live on. The comrades are in orbit . Fuel price rises . Governments fault .

      Ok – it is a bit because it has delayed nuclear- refused to be fuel independent and screwd things over decades

      But who else do they blame ? Oil companies for being oil companies . Not enough welfare . Not enough tax subsidised energy.

      There was no contrary view – no debate – just the blame/ entitlement narrative of the BBC

      Whatever the blue labour party does will not be enough – and any help will be linked to the party crap

    quote-it-s-the-labour-government-that-have-brought-us-record-peacetime-taxation-they-ve-got-margaret-thatcher-89-83-66.jpg

    Keith Vaz, the Minister caught up in the Hinduja passports affair, owns at least five properties worth more than £1 million, it was revealed yesterday.

    He has two houses in his Leicester constituency, two London flats and a large detached house on the outskirts of the capital.

    Only a week ago, the Foreign Office Minister pulled out of buying a £1million Victorian house in Central London after making a £900,000 offer.

    But the Cambridge-educated socialist is still believed to be second only to Environment Minister Michael ‘Eight homes’ Meacher among the property owners on Labour’s front bench.

    Land Registry documents show that Mr Vaz, who earns a Ministerial salary of £82,000, owns the Leicester properties and the leases on the London flats in his own name. The family home in Stanmore, Middlesex, is owned jointly with his wife Maria, a solicitor.

    BREAKING NEWS ALL DAY ON THE BBC but no apology from the BBC at all

    The BBC have pushed their blind and wrong-headed environmental message of Global Warming and Climate Change on the public and their politicians and now we are reaping the consequences. We know in part whose faults caused this energy price rise. Will the BBC apologise for their part in it and reduce their Licence Fee to mitigate the rise in gas and electricity bills?

    If you have not yet cancelled your TV Licence may I suggest that it is a great way to save electricity, especially if you leave your TV and any other devices linked to it on standby overnight, week in and week out.

      Z,

      Let’s put that sum of taxpayers money another way,

      ONE BILLION, SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN AND A HALF MILLION POUNDS a Year.

      Certainly a sum that would help many peoples energy bills and more for a good period.

      What right do these wasters in No.10 and the Home Office have to squander that sort of money, particularly when most of the 85% are struggling? Makes you wonder what the total DHS bill for all the rest of the foreigners totals a year. Bet they’d fight tooth and nail to hide that.

    Anyway, I tuned in for only the 2nd time to see how First Ministers Questions was going….as the SNP are trudging from one disaster to the next.

    Q1 from the leader of the Scottish Cons.

    Can I ask the 1st Minister what instructions her Govt, have given out regarding the sawing off of the bottom of doors in all schools.

    What followed was truly Pythonesque …Krankie could only have ridiculed herself more if she had put on one of those brown overalls and produced an SNP approved saw!

    The knock-out blow came next following her tirade of an answer#
    during which defended the proposed door sawing.

    Conservative Leader.. Can I ask the 1st minister with whom her Govt had consulted about this door sawing.

    He then dropped her with a report from a retired Fire Chief who said that this door sawing risked dangerous smoke problems in the event of a fire and doors were specified in schools to prevent just that fire risk and smoke inhalation.

    Unfortunately this weekly Krankie show is possibly only watched by serious insomniacs.

    Defund the bBC and close Holyrood Tinpot.

      The issue of the Uighurs is an interesting one. There are many Muslim sects in China and the Uighurs are a minority one so why are they being singled out for this treatment?

      The answer is a simple one and its the same as the Rohigyas, they simply will not stop fighting Jihad.

      A silly thing to do given what the Chinese are capable of, but it will interesting to see in a generation or so whether the Chinese have succeeded in beating the need to wage a holy war out of them or whether the drive to die for the cause of Allah is still as strong in them.

      The BBC don’t care one bit about that man or anything that happens to him if it doesn’t help their current agenda. If it did, it would be front page headlines for weeks. Like ‘Partygate’.

      They and the rest of the Leftists are the most disgusting of hypocrites.

      Chinese President Xi Jinping buys normal steamed bun
      Close
      The Chinese president has visited a popular Beijing dumpling shop where he bought and paid for his own pork and onion bun.

      Xi Jinping’s weekend visit to the restaurant was an unusual display of normality for a Chinese communist ruler and is reported to have unleashed a media storm.

      Why shouldn’t an anarchist Marxist organization
      such as the BBC support China? They don’t

    BBC searching the country for the very worst ‘energy poverty’ case … but theyve just interviewed a man about he will be affected .
    He said he wont be affected by energy cost increases because he can reclaim the cost on expenses and keep the swimming pool heated – because he is an MP …( this may be made up )

    I read that Biden has backed a motion to ban the use of the words “Mother” and “Father” in teaching in schools.

    Its obviously related to the fact that so many black families become “fatherless”.

    Apart from being totally disgusted with this lunatic I am wondering if this will all end up in either his removal from office or a violent people’s revolution.

    His actions at present seem to guarantee Trump a clean sweep at the next election if he doesn’t step down first. The Mid-Terms might just seal his and the Democrats fate.

    I am convinced that the World is growing weary of these nut-cases who are entrenched in so many institutions especially the so-called teaching profession.

      Forget that, there’s onlt another 10 months to the mid terms and it is highly likely that Biden and several other Democrat reps will be impeached, including Pelosi and Harris.

      There are several areas in which the Democrats have flagrantly broken the law, not least the failure to police the Southern border and the completely illegal relocation of illegal migrants into states which didn’t even know they were being placed there.

        Saudi Arabia’s religious police stopped schoolgirls from leaving a blazing building because they were not wearing correct Islamic dress, according to Saudi newspapers.
        In a rare criticism of the kingdom’s powerful “mutaween” police, the Saudi media has accused them of hindering attempts to save 15 girls who died in the fire on Monday.

        About 800 pupils were inside the school in the holy city of Mecca when the tragedy occurred.

        Saudi hospital staff carry a victim of the girl school fire to an ambulance in Mecca
        15 girls died in the blaze and more than 50 others were injured
        According to the al-Eqtisadiah daily, firemen confronted police after they tried to keep the girls inside because they were not wearing the headscarves and abayas (black robes) required by the kingdom’s strict interpretation of Islam.
