Start the Week 5 September 2022

Dear PM – please get your new Culture Secretary to tell the BBC to plan for self funding when the charter ends in 2027 – and that public funding will be ended . Please note that many of us would like to see the Far Left Anti British monster ended .

      Are the Americans silly enough to go in for the Smart Meter craze? It seems a bit daft to me to introduce a sender unit powered by electricity into an enclosure that was previously devoted to gas alone.

    Government logic:

    The Jamaican population in the UK took a hit a few years ago when it was agreed that the UK Government would finance the building of prisons in Jamaica to house all the criminal Jamaicans languishing in UK prisons. So at the taxpayers expense, hundreds of criminals were flown back to Jamaica and no doubt the UK Government also pay for the upkeep, wages and maintenance etc of the prisons along the way.

    There is now a suggestion that ditto above for Jamaica, be negotiated with Albania. All at the taxpayers expense needless to say. Meanwhile, I cannot get an NHS appointment with an ENT specialist for two years.

    It escapes the brains of our political “leaders” and their inevitably, “tirelessly working” Civil Servants that the abuse can be short-circuited by not letting the barstewards in in the first place. That’s what Degree level brains lack.

    Not BBC but a good scam

    You get an email from ‘royal mail ‘
    There is a parcel fro you – here’s the tracker
    Go to the link and put in the tracker
    Put your details into the link page
    Go to second page – your card details
    Please include PiN

    I’m waiting for a parcel . It looked real . I got to the card page and wondered what I needed to pay for ? – nothing .

    Went to the Real royal mail tracker site ( real )

    Energy companies would take out government-guaranteed loans to bridge the gap between the wholesale price in the market and the fixed price they are charging customers. Those loans would be repaid over the next 10-20 years through supplements to customer bills.

    So basically keep the energy prices high, energy firms still make BILLIONS, and the plebs/bill payer pay is back over 10-20years!

    The World Service News BBC News at I pm said “that the once biggest lake in the world in Iran is in danger of completely drying up “due to rising temperatures ” This a complete distortion of the truth and the BBC is parroting the same excuses that the Iranian government gives to its own people ie climate change, drought etc and sanctions when in fact it is ‘routed in decades of disintegrated planning and managerial myopia’ . Population migration to the cities, inefficient agriculture, and mismanagement of infrastructure development.

    See https://www.researchgate.net/publication/264936452_Water_management_in_Iran_What_is_causing_the_looming_crisis

    By the way, Israel has more or less the same climate as Iran and doesnot have a problem with its key water sources.

    Just a bit of news re last night’s shooting in south London…

    Apparently, the young man who was shot by police after a car chase was due to become a father in November. Local sources also told the media he was a talented musician (rapper) but his girlfriend’s mother denied this and said, “he was an apprentice architect.” I didn’t know they did apprenticeships for architecture, but we’ll leave that there…

    She also said, “If he was a white lad he wouldn’t have been shot, they’d have given him a chance.”

    Things are looking just a tad febrile and I’m reminded of the shooting of gangster, Mark Duggan, over a decade ago. That really kicked off.

    Just waiting for the ever reliable BBC to start stirring the pot…

    Israeli Public Elfs sit on vax data…

    ( Source)

    Summary of key points

    On August 2nd, the Israeli Ministry of Health (MOH) released a report on adverse events reported following vaccination from December 9th 2021-May 31st 2022 based on a new reporting system.

    The MOH tasked a team of medical researchers from Shamir Medical Center with experience in pharmacovigilance to analyse the data from the system. Here is a subtitled video with excerpts from the Zoom meeting on this issue.

    The Israeli MOH subsequently misrepresented the findings stating that no new adverse events were found, there was no new signal, and the events were not necessarily caused by the vaccine, even though the researchers themselves said the exact opposite.

    The Israeli MOH artificially minimised the extent of reporting by comparing the number of reports submitted during that period to a much larger number of vaccine doses administered over a longer period of time and a much larger population than the one reporting.

    The Israeli MOH sat on these results for nearly two months and did not disclose them to the expert committee that met in late June to decide on recommending the vaccine for children under five.

    Wonder if it’ll attract any BBC peeps to fact check it?

      ” late June to decide on recommending the vaccine for children under five.”

      The assessment by the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) is that the health benefits from vaccination are marginally greater than the potential known harms. However, the margin of benefit is considered too small to support universal vaccination of healthy 12 to 15 year olds at this time.

      It is not within the JCVI’s remit to consider the wider societal impacts of vaccination, including educational benefits. The government may wish to seek further views on the wider societal and educational impacts from the Chief Medical Officers of the UK 4 nations.

    “BORDERS word search = 0”

    Good afternoon,
    I have just accepted Her Majesty The Queen’s kind invitation to form a new government.
    Let me pay tribute to my predecessor.
    Boris Johnson delivered Brexit, the Covid vaccine, and stood up to Russian aggression.
    History will see him as a hugely consequential Prime Minister.
    I’m honoured to take on this responsibility at a vital time for our country.
    What makes the United Kingdom great is our fundamental belief in freedom, in enterprise, and in fair play.
    Our people have shown grit, courage and determination time and time again.
    We now face severe global headwinds caused by Russia’s appalling war in Ukraine and the aftermath of Covid.
    Now is the time to tackle the issues that are holding Britain back.
    We need to build roads, homes and broadband faster.
    We need more investment and great jobs in every town and city across our country.
    We need to reduce the burden on families and help people get on in life.
    I know that we have what it takes to tackle those challenges.
    Of course, it won’t be easy. But we can do it.
    We will transform Britain into an aspiration nation…with high-paying jobs, safe streets and where everyone everywhere has the opportunities they deserve.
    I will take action this day, and action every day, to make it happen.
    United with our allies, we will stand up for freedom and democracy around the world – recognising that we can’t have security at home without having security abroad.
    As Prime Minister, I will pursue three early priorities.
    Firstly, I will get Britain working again.
    I have a bold plan to grow the economy through tax cuts and reform.
    I will cut taxes to reward hard work and boost business-led growth and investment.
    I will drive reform in my mission to get the United Kingdom working, building, and growing.
    We will get spades in the ground to make sure people are not facing unaffordable energy bills and we will also make sure, that we are building hospitals, schools, roads, and broadband.
    Secondly, I will deal hands-on with the energy crisis caused by Putin’s war.
    I will take action this week to deal with energy bills and to secure our future energy supply.
    Thirdly, I will make sure that people can get doctors’ appointments and the NHS services they need. We will put our health service on a firm footing.
    By delivering on the economy, on energy, and on the NHS, we will put our nation on the path to long-term success.
    We shouldn’t be daunted by the challenges we face.
    As strong as the storm may be, I know that the British people are stronger.
    Our country was built by people who get things done.
    We have huge reserves of talent, of energy, and determination.
    I am confident that together we can:
    Ride out the storm,
    We can rebuild our economy,
    And we can become the modern brilliant Britain that I know we can be.
    This is our vital mission to ensure opportunity and prosperity for all people and future generations. I am determined to deliver. Thank you.

    Liz Truss

    The Black Broadcasting Corporation are delighted to inform us that a black man was shot dead after a car chase in S London.
    He was, apparently, an extremely gifted drill rapper, drill being an even more violent sub-genre of rap.

    Already the beeb are dropping hints of – you guessed it – police racism, by their favourite trick of quoting others:

    – ‘Ms Alleyne said had her daughter’s fiancé been white he would have been given “a chance to get out the car”.’

    – “He had a young family on the way and it just feels like his life has been cut short for no reason… I think something needs to be done to hold police to account.”

    – “nobody deserves to be killed by the police unless there is an imminent or direct threat to the public, which at that moment in time, from what I’m hearing, he was not.”

    Political race-baiters are getting in on the act too: Bell Ribeiro-Addy, MP for Streatham, said tensions were rising in the area following the shooting and called for police to release more information about what happened.
    “People are drawing their own conclusions,” the Labour politician said.

    With a bit of luck, the BBC could have a new George Floyd situation to exploit for months ahead. They might even whip up a riot or two.

      The original cobra effect

      The Indian cobra
      The term cobra effect was coined by economist Horst Siebert based on an anecdote of an occurrence in India during British rule.[2][3][4] The British government, concerned about the number of venomous cobras in Delhi, offered a bounty for every dead cobra. Initially, this was a successful strategy; large numbers of snakes were killed for the reward. Eventually, however, enterprising people began to breed cobras for the income. When the government became aware of this, the reward program was scrapped. When cobra breeders set their now-worthless snakes free, the wild cobra population further increased.[5]
