I have commented before on how the BBC are quite hypocritical about interference in elections and other polls, happy to do it themselves but especially highly critical if someone else that the BBC do not like does it or the winner of the election or poll is not one that carries the BBC’s stamp of approval. The Naughty Naughtie was surprisingly (Ed S should have been presenting) in charge of today’s programme and as a Scot (in Edinburgh at Festival time) was busy interfering in the Conservative Party’s search for a new leader.
Videos by Sorelle Amore…very slick, sophisticated and right-wing….who knew….I don’t know what her motivation is, or what she’s selling or if she really believes any of it but what she says is all true as she calls out the WEF, recycling scams, green lies, big business and the media. Her videos say what so many others say about globalisation, the ‘Great Reset’ and climate change amongst many other issues but she says it better and with less shouting…ala Russell Brand who’d be much better if he calmed down a bit.
She does what the BBC should be doing but for some reason chooses not to.
The WEF, the World Economic Forum….unelected, undemocratic and yet extremely powerful and influential…and of course pretty much unscrutinised. You might think such an organisation, a bastion of capitalism funded by, and lobbying for, the biggest and richest corporations on the planet with just about every world leader in its pocket would be target No1 for the BBC et al but you’ll hear scarcely a peep out of them in way of criticism or any sort of sceptical examination of their actions and especially their motives. Curious huh?
The reason for this shocking lack of scrutiny? To ‘save the planet’…from supposed man-made climate change, consumerism, rampant capitalism, white supremacy. Of course all those capitalist corporations, and the politicians, realise that ‘communism’ pays…I know, the irony. Or rather what pays is a world where the workers are totally under the control of the bosses be they corporate or political….where workers or work can be shipped around a borderless world to keep costs down, where goods and services can be sourced from the cheapest provider, where a global economy is just that….one global government ruling one world, one economy, one society….to make things more efficient and the populations more biddable, the workers mere assets, drones, numbers in a ledger. It gives politicians enormous power…look at covid and how that was exploited to bring in extreme and oppressive measures…that they still keep either in force or on the statute books ready to use at will….and they want more….the World Health Organisation being lined up to run national policy in the event of another pandemic…sovereign nations to have no say in how they react to such an event….if they want to lock us down we’ll be locked down no matter what your parliament or people might think.
You can see the next set of oppressions being lined up as the heatwave is reacted to with hysteria and sensationalist alarmism, covid is again being ramped up to terrify us again and WHO is set to take the world in its iron grip as it looks set to probably declare monkeypox a ‘global health emergency’.
It is a world in which you will own nothing..and you will be happy. So reminiscent of something….work sets you free!
The government will decide where you live, what job you do, who you marry [just remember diversity is good], how many kids you have[what gender they will be ascribed at birth], where you travel, how you travel…you will not have a car that’s a certainty….and of course what you spend your money on. Rationing will be the order of the day….we already see the drive to digitise money, to make it a cashless society. This makes control easy…they know everything you buy and they can decide what you can buy if they want to….government thinks you’re too fat?…the till won’t let you buy that chocolate or the food packed with saturated fat. It can do this ‘for your own good’ or to punish you…it’s already happening….in Canada the government shut down bank accounts of people who supported the truckers…that’s not verging on totalitarianism it is totalitarianism…but the BBC et al barely noticed….if you don’t support the government they burn your life….so very Kristallnacht.
The BBC always likes to claim certain people, those it doesn’t like, are dictators or are taking us back to the 1930’s but oddly look away when leaders it likes genuinely tread that path.

Hmmmm…whose fault is it? The BBC folds, ironically, to pressure from the trans lobby.
‘‘We’re being pressured into sex by some trans women’
The Head of the BBC’s Executive Complaints Unit (ECU) has made a ruling on the article and the headline has now been changed to ‘The lesbians who feel pressured to have sex and relationships with trans women’ in light of the finding.’
So now it’s the lesbians’ fault is it?
Apparently ‘the headline gave the misleading impression that the focus of the article would be on pressure applied by trans women’
Hmmmm….read the updated article and it is nearly all about that pressure….so not at all a misleading headline…and anyway the new one doesn’t really change the narrative other than to subtly shift some blame onto the lesbians themselves….they ‘feel’ they are being pressured…but that could just be them and their paranoia or prejudices right?
The ECU decision is a extremely long one…..that seems to be bending over backwards to excuse its surrender to the trans lobby….over a trivial complaint that has no merit.
‘BBC apologises after interviewing transgender athlete who boasted of violence against women’ ‘Fallon Fox, an American former martial arts fighter, was invited onto BBC Radio 4’s Today programme last month after trans athletes were barred from women’s elite races if they have gone through male puberty.
But the BBC came under fire for failing to inform listeners that Ms Fox, 46, had boasted of violence against Terfs.
She had tweeted: “For the record, I knocked two out. One woman’s skull was fractured, the other not. And just so you know, I enjoyed it. See, I love smacking up TEFS (sic) in the cage who talk transphobic nonsense. It’s bliss!”’
The BBC reaction…
‘The BBC Complaints Unit said it was “unaware of previous comments made by Fallon Fox” and if it was, “we would have conducted the interview differently”.
The BBC told the group in a letter: “We have discussed your concerns with the team responsible and we’d like to apologise for this oversight.”’
OK…just how would it have conducted the interview differently? Would it still have interviewed him?
The complainant isn’t too impressed…
‘Dr Nicola Williams, director of Fair Play For Women, told The Telegraph: “If you knew that Fallon Fox was a trans fighter, you’d also know what Fallon Fox had said.
“It’s either that the woke producers didn’t do the basics with research, or they didn’t care. This apology means nothing unless they also issue an on-air clarification – they must do due diligence on this topic by bringing on true experts, not just trans people for the sake of it.”‘

Another tellystruck academic on the BBC …. whatever next? (She definitely seems to spend more time on BBC premises these days than in academia – is she the new Carol Voordermann?)
I wonder if she’ll mention the near complete lack of efficacy measured for mRNA against the Omicron fmily of bugs? – I’d guess not.
I’d pay more attention to David Spiegelhalter – but he seems to not care to be scripted / have words put in his mouth by the producers…
From the write-ups and PR it looks like a simplistic monstering of a few young dimwits.
In other words BBC SOP.
On such an important topic there should be more of a write up.
It’s infotainment – of a sort – but actually with a an outgunned setup of victims whose (carefully chosen?) daft beliefs we can guffaw at and scoff.
As dishonest as it is contrived…
I’d really like to be proved wrong – but I feel that rather than judging this book by it’s cover – we’ve seen snippets enough and PR enough to see a hatchet job on some lambs blinded by the telly headlights…
I wonder if they’ve invited some experts that do not agree … settled science it will be – BBC style.
elsewhere the tellystruck academics are out today.
Disappointed in the man – since there’s so much to communicate about nuclear power and electricity and all, where his expertise lies – he chooses to go down the “if we don’t burn the heretics were doomed” path…
Is working for the BBC as a specialist a Faustian pact? – it rather looks like it.
Probably not – again – they will lie to get your attention – then ignore you for the next 4 years.
600K Immigrants lost by the UK Home Office.
20K Terrorists on the UK terrorist watch list.
3K Extreme Terrorists on the UK terrorist watch list.
22 Lost in Manchester according to Theresa May.
1 More attack labelled bad driving this month of August.
The first duty of the government is to keep citizens safe and the country secure. The Home Office has been at the front line of this endeavour since 1782. As such, the Home Office plays a fundamental role in the security and economic prosperity of the United Kingdom.
‘The programme was broadcast after the announcement that Naftali Bennett had succeeded in forming a coalition government in Israel which included an Arab party. A listener complained that it contained a statement to the effect that this was the first time an Arab party had formed part of an Israeli government which was both inaccurate and a manifestation of habitual bias against Israel. The ECU considered the complaint in the light of the BBC’s editorial standards of due accuracy and impartiality.’
The BBC’s decision…partially upheld….there had been previous Arabs in the Israeli government but….
‘…the ECU also noted that participation of a party which is not only Arab but Islamist in an Israeli government headed by someone described in the programme by his chief strategist as right-wing and nationalist was a somewhat extraordinary development in Israeli politics, which could fairly be described as unprecedented, even if not precisely in the way the correspondent suggested. The ECU therefore did not accept that the statements in question reflected any underlying lack of impartiality.’
What? Ah….the complaint may have been absolutely right, the reporter was wrong but the ‘Arabs’ are islamists so it’s extraordinary. Well no…all Muslims are islamists and two that wasn’t the complaint….the complaint wasn’t that the reporter didn’t mention they were islamist….if it was so ‘extraordinary’ why did he not mention it?
And…usually the BBC is keen not to mention the Islamist or extreme nature of Islam itself…hence Hamas are ‘moderates’ or mere militias…or maybe pushed to violence by the oppression of the war criminal Israelis. Now however the BBC is keen to point out these are Islamists. Why? Could it be because they are in coalition with the Jews…thus they are bad Muslims and can be trashed? Maybe once in the Israeli parliament they set off a few suicide vests the BBC would then turn them back into kosha Muslims.
When you see that a Ukrainian transport has ‘crashed ‘ in Greece whilst carrying ‘mortar rounds ‘ to Bangladesh – and that specialist chemical warfare troops are dealing with the scene – you just go ‘which bit of that story is ‘untrue’?

How can we trust a government to defend this nation when it cannot secure its borders?
We have been run by a liberal/socialist government for the last twelve years.
This nation cries out for a new political, patriotic party.
As Martin Wolf, the chief economics commentator of the financial times, says: ‘The desirability of sizeable immigration is a matter more of values than of economics. It is not a choice between wealth and poverty, but of the sort of country one desires to inhabit.’
The former home secretary Jack Straw has admitted that dropping immigration restrictions on eastern European migrants was a “spectacular mistake” on Labour’s part.
Breezes in lots of parts of Lincolnshire today
I must be outside the hot zone
ITV local news starts off with Skegness item
Female reporter her hair is flying around as she tries to talk up the heat.
– They just had a black family on the beared dad doesn’t seem bothered
the reporter is in glee about his ebony kids dressed in Beau Geste desert caps with the draped fabric
– Next the guy selling £1 waters, he’s supposed to be the good guy.
This morning I made all the preparations, then the curtain I’d draped outside the patio doors started flapping in stronger than predicted breeze.
Went to the lunchtime car boot sale… I was cooler than last week, cos the sun mostly stayed behind clouds.
Occasionally it would break through for a few mins
Came back up the hill on a bike , no big sweat.
4pm to the shop ..breeze even stronger
I got the fan out of the loft but I haven’t switched it on yet.
Yep its certainly not Singapore here
7pm biked to next village
..nope not sweating
still wearing long sleeved shirt to protect skin
but didn’t need the wide brimmed hat
As I said last Sunday I needed the anti-glare sunglasses, but cloud today meant I hardly put them on.
I just looked at Scampton observations
seems it’s been warmer
Scunthorpe’s observations are similar to here
but we are already a few degrees cooler
cos we are rural and straight onto fields bring a constant breeze from the south
Forecast now says breeze will be all night.
There’s a Facebook post for a nearby village saying how people enjoyed the open gardens day. A similar event in Surrey was cancelled
due to Hot-mageddon fears
Like a complete muppet I listened to the endless warnings about today’s weather. “It’s going to be 90 degrees plus in the London area”, the BBC warned me. “Don’t travel unless you absolutely have to. Take plenty of water.” Then there were the maps of Blighty coloured in a dangerous crimson hue. Blimey, I thought, is it worth it?
So, instead of nipping up to Regent’s Park and enjoying a couple of hours listening to the lovely restful drones of a brass band, I stayed at home, sheltering in my living room. What a plonker…
As it turned out the weather has been pleasantly warm, sunny with a gentle and refreshing breeze, but certainly nothing like the 90 degrees plus of burning Hell we were threatened with.
What ever these idiots say I’ll make sure I attend next weekend.
But Jeff – the hot day is monday – or maybe the day after – or maybe not at all.. where i am the forest burnt for 3 days .. and its 40 ish at 3pm … nice
Watching the blue labour contest – if that idiot – toocanhart mentions being in the army again – ill say vote for the indian wallah …
Liz still look unwell in my view . Im waiting for etchingham to get them to juggle ..
Richi has been schooled by someone who coached obama .. just saying
Forget Freedom of Movement from the EU, forget Easy Movement from Labour … we now have Human mobility from Dimitris Avramopoulos (European commissioner for migration) ….
Dimitris Avramopoulos, the European Commissioner for Migration, Home Affairs and Citizenship, recently published a startling opinion, advocating for more immigration as an inescapable reality to which European citizens should just adapt without any further discussion.
. . How does this stack up with Theresa May’s idea that . .
““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. ” – Theresa May 2015
Emmanuel Goldstein I would not expect immigration to be mentioned.
These debates are for the media not the people of this country. And once the media have chosen the leader, the people will be told who to support in a General Election
You will also notice this (immigration) is a one way street. Not once in my adult life have I heard anybody say that the thing that Eritrea (Africa) needs most is an injection of Welshmen. They could do with some Welsh cooking or singing. ” Douglas Murray {@7:24 youtube}
Currently the UK government is planning to deport some male asylum seekers to Rwanda. The decision is sad. Migrants have made hideous sacrifices to get secure lives in this country. I have seen what the voyage in the dark looks like.
….
We have called out abuses by all sides to the conflict and committed more than £75 million of aid to those affected in the Afar, Amhara and Tigray regions. The UK is committed to working with all actors in northern Ethiopia to bring the conflict to a close and to promote long-term peace and development.1 Apr 2022
Thoughtful
Maybe Obama will use one to get bidens numbers up … or the feds will fit someone up with all this bits to make one – maybe the same chap they used to get the gullible into the `Capitol Building to discredit the stolen election claims …
‘Mordaunt sounds like a folksy Hovis advert not a Prime Minister.’
Mordaunt is huffing and puffing and trying to shield herself with a wall of moral indignation as she is asked to explain her position on trans. She, and her many supporters, not least in the media as I listen, try to downplay the importance of the issue and to demonise those who ask her questions….but naturally it is a big question that most people will have very strong views about.
The media and trans-lobby try to say that polls show it isn’t a high priority for the voters…but that’s disengenuous…yep, they’ll think the economy and NHS are the major issues but that doesn’t mean the attempt to erase women from the world is not also of importance to them.
Oddly, of course, Mordaunt herself thinks the issue is supremely important…it is one of her ‘priorities’….
‘Mordaunt also told attendees at the event that ‘for however long I hold this brief, the LGBT+ agenda will not stall’ as ‘you’re my heroes and my inspiration: I know what needs to be done and I will not let you down.’
We will win this but it will take effort and it’s one of my priorities in this post to do that.’
She of course is being hugely dishonest…we know she thinks trans-women are women but dodges around that…and indeed the BBC dodged that today as Sophie Raworth limited her questioning to the easily batted off question of her support or otherwise for a medical diagnosis before someone can be called trans.
The Spectator has found a recording of her admitting she can’t be honest about her views and aims….I wonder if this will inform future BBC interviews.
‘Mr S has obtained a recording of a speech Mordaunt gave to LGBT+ Tory activists in June 2018, in which she did seem to suggest that it was her strategy not to be straight about what she was doing. At the time she was minister for women and equalities and was responsible for overseeing the consultation on reform of the Gender Recognition Act and whether it should be made easier to change gender.
She told the room that she ‘can’t even be seen to be helping with’ some of the proposed legislation she was privately championing.
She also argued that ‘we have to have a huge campaign’ on transgender rights to aggressively combat the ‘hate and the ignorance’ of the ‘media’ and ‘campaign groups.’’
Mordaunt, I suspect, would be the BBC’s choice of candidate….shame she’s not little less white and blond….a Brexiteer but she is a Nut Zero advocate, wants to stay in the EHCR and is woke as hell.
Maybe the best of a bad job for the BBC.
I see Sunak has topped the polls after the latest debate…and accusing Truss of being a socialist for wanting to cut taxes…hmmm…would rather think it’s someone who soaks the workers to fund ever bigger government might be the socialist.
I really disagree – where in the PM job spec does it say you have to define a binary or non binary subject ( I didn’t understand what I just wrote ) .
But there is one thing with penny to the sex thing – but another skirting ( sexist ) round it . Smacks of dishonesty – lies – lack of integrity –
Actually – maybe a new version of the nut nut ….
I think that Femi one will be a scream – she hasn’t done the ‘misidentified as the cleaner gig ‘ some people of colour use to self victimise ….
Winds affect local weather
if they blow in from a hot area , you get abnormal heat
usually that means that somewhere else in the world abnormal cold weather is blown in

Local lunchtime carboot sale suddenly today has security patrols
Why ?
Boss said Romanian Roma
#1 last week they tried to barge the start queue
#2 some were nicking stuff off the tables
.. The carboot is cheap enough already
no need to nick stuff.
It’s cultural – bit like nicking from charity shops – we should celebrate the Roma skill of thieving – the piky skill of turning anywhere into a tip – and those strange creatures who wander about with a polystyrene cut saying ‘please’ …
Apologies if this has been shown on here, but I’ve just been sent it. Typical Munchetty putting a younger colleague down while doing her job. Disgusting. At least her colleague Stayt called her out on it. Cue eye roll from Munchetty with a grudging apology.
Oh dear – the queen up breakfast TV – ugh – being upstaged by a younger model – nice that the kidult commentator has the time and effort to put such stuff up – I still wish ‘naga ‘ would be referred to by her full name rather than the Anglo abbreviation- namely
Subha Nagalakshmi Munchetty-Chendriah- which is how she should be addressed – or ‘dame’…

From the write-ups and PR it looks like a simplistic monstering of a few young dimwits.
In other words BBC SOP.
On such an important topic there should be more of a write up.
It’s infotainment – of a sort – but actually with a an outgunned setup of victims whose (carefully chosen?) daft beliefs we can guffaw at and scoff.
As dishonest as it is contrived…
I’d really like to be proved wrong – but I feel that rather than judging this book by it’s cover – we’ve seen snippets enough and PR enough to see a hatchet job on some lambs blinded by the telly headlights…
I wonder if they’ve invited some experts that do not agree … settled science it will be – BBC style.
elsewhere the tellystruck academics are out today.
The originally estimable Jim al Khalili out and about trying imho to turn science into an election process.
Disappointed in the man – since there’s so much to communicate about nuclear power and electricity and all, where his expertise lies – he chooses to go down the “if we don’t burn the heretics were doomed” path…
Is working for the BBC as a specialist a Faustian pact? – it rather looks like it.

LOL….an interesting interpretation by the BBC’s ECU…
https://www.bbc.co.uk/contact/ecu/today-radio-4-3-june-2021
‘The programme was broadcast after the announcement that Naftali Bennett had succeeded in forming a coalition government in Israel which included an Arab party. A listener complained that it contained a statement to the effect that this was the first time an Arab party had formed part of an Israeli government which was both inaccurate and a manifestation of habitual bias against Israel. The ECU considered the complaint in the light of the BBC’s editorial standards of due accuracy and impartiality.’
The BBC’s decision…partially upheld….there had been previous Arabs in the Israeli government but….
‘…the ECU also noted that participation of a party which is not only Arab but Islamist in an Israeli government headed by someone described in the programme by his chief strategist as right-wing and nationalist was a somewhat extraordinary development in Israeli politics, which could fairly be described as unprecedented, even if not precisely in the way the correspondent suggested. The ECU therefore did not accept that the statements in question reflected any underlying lack of impartiality.’
What? Ah….the complaint may have been absolutely right, the reporter was wrong but the ‘Arabs’ are islamists so it’s extraordinary. Well no…all Muslims are islamists and two that wasn’t the complaint….the complaint wasn’t that the reporter didn’t mention they were islamist….if it was so ‘extraordinary’ why did he not mention it?
And…usually the BBC is keen not to mention the Islamist or extreme nature of Islam itself…hence Hamas are ‘moderates’ or mere militias…or maybe pushed to violence by the oppression of the war criminal Israelis. Now however the BBC is keen to point out these are Islamists. Why? Could it be because they are in coalition with the Jews…thus they are bad Muslims and can be trashed? Maybe once in the Israeli parliament they set off a few suicide vests the BBC would then turn them back into kosha Muslims.

Breezes in lots of parts of Lincolnshire today
I must be outside the hot zone
ITV local news starts off with Skegness item
Female reporter her hair is flying around as she tries to talk up the heat.
– They just had a black family on the beared dad doesn’t seem bothered
the reporter is in glee about his ebony kids dressed in Beau Geste desert caps with the draped fabric
– Next the guy selling £1 waters, he’s supposed to be the good guy.
This morning I made all the preparations, then the curtain I’d draped outside the patio doors started flapping in stronger than predicted breeze.
Went to the lunchtime car boot sale… I was cooler than last week, cos the sun mostly stayed behind clouds.
Occasionally it would break through for a few mins
Came back up the hill on a bike , no big sweat.
4pm to the shop ..breeze even stronger
I got the fan out of the loft but I haven’t switched it on yet.

As I said last Sunday I needed the anti-glare sunglasses, but cloud today meant I hardly put them on.
I just looked at Scampton observations
seems it’s been warmer
Scunthorpe’s observations are similar to here
but we are already a few degrees cooler
cos we are rural and straight onto fields bring a constant breeze from the south
Forecast now says breeze will be all night.
There’s a Facebook post for a nearby village saying how people enjoyed the open gardens day. A similar event in Surrey was cancelled

Like a complete muppet I listened to the endless warnings about today’s weather. “It’s going to be 90 degrees plus in the London area”, the BBC warned me. “Don’t travel unless you absolutely have to. Take plenty of water.” Then there were the maps of Blighty coloured in a dangerous crimson hue. Blimey, I thought, is it worth it?
So, instead of nipping up to Regent’s Park and enjoying a couple of hours listening to the lovely restful drones of a brass band, I stayed at home, sheltering in my living room. What a plonker…
As it turned out the weather has been pleasantly warm, sunny with a gentle and refreshing breeze, but certainly nothing like the 90 degrees plus of burning Hell we were threatened with.
What ever these idiots say I’ll make sure I attend next weekend.
It will probably be pissing down…

Currently the UK government is planning to deport some male asylum seekers to Rwanda. The decision is sad. Migrants have made hideous sacrifices to get secure lives in this country. I have seen what the voyage in the dark looks like.

We have called out abuses by all sides to the conflict and committed more than £75 million of aid to those affected in the Afar, Amhara and Tigray regions. The UK is committed to working with all actors in northern Ethiopia to bring the conflict to a close and to promote long-term peace and development.1 Apr 2022

‘Mordaunt sounds like a folksy Hovis advert not a Prime Minister.’
Mordaunt is huffing and puffing and trying to shield herself with a wall of moral indignation as she is asked to explain her position on trans. She, and her many supporters, not least in the media as I listen, try to downplay the importance of the issue and to demonise those who ask her questions….but naturally it is a big question that most people will have very strong views about.
The media and trans-lobby try to say that polls show it isn’t a high priority for the voters…but that’s disengenuous…yep, they’ll think the economy and NHS are the major issues but that doesn’t mean the attempt to erase women from the world is not also of importance to them.
Oddly, of course, Mordaunt herself thinks the issue is supremely important…it is one of her ‘priorities’….
‘Mordaunt also told attendees at the event that ‘for however long I hold this brief, the LGBT+ agenda will not stall’ as ‘you’re my heroes and my inspiration: I know what needs to be done and I will not let you down.’
We will win this but it will take effort and it’s one of my priorities in this post to do that.’
She of course is being hugely dishonest…we know she thinks trans-women are women but dodges around that…and indeed the BBC dodged that today as Sophie Raworth limited her questioning to the easily batted off question of her support or otherwise for a medical diagnosis before someone can be called trans.
The Spectator has found a recording of her admitting she can’t be honest about her views and aims….I wonder if this will inform future BBC interviews.
https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/revealed-penny-mordaunt-s-hidden-equalities-agenda
‘Mr S has obtained a recording of a speech Mordaunt gave to LGBT+ Tory activists in June 2018, in which she did seem to suggest that it was her strategy not to be straight about what she was doing. At the time she was minister for women and equalities and was responsible for overseeing the consultation on reform of the Gender Recognition Act and whether it should be made easier to change gender.
She told the room that she ‘can’t even be seen to be helping with’ some of the proposed legislation she was privately championing.
She also argued that ‘we have to have a huge campaign’ on transgender rights to aggressively combat the ‘hate and the ignorance’ of the ‘media’ and ‘campaign groups.’’
Mordaunt, I suspect, would be the BBC’s choice of candidate….shame she’s not little less white and blond….a Brexiteer but she is a Nut Zero advocate, wants to stay in the EHCR and is woke as hell.
Maybe the best of a bad job for the BBC.
I see Sunak has topped the polls after the latest debate…and accusing Truss of being a socialist for wanting to cut taxes…hmmm…would rather think it’s someone who soaks the workers to fund ever bigger government might be the socialist.
