The point is drag queens are not mere panto dames
They appropriate female sexuality
and exaggerate it into something perverse.
The female equivalent would be doing the same to masculine sexuality
maybe grabbing at a prosthetic crotch all the time
and having a super hairy chest and beard etc.
#metoo. In addition I don’t want to be aware of either drag queens or drag kings. The obsession is evidence, in my view, of a decline in society, especially the BBC’s obsession with all of it. Another reason to not watch TV and cancel the Licence Direct Debit.
Makes youwonder what the hell is going on in Britain when the IMF steps in to intervene in a G7 nation and criticises the flagship policy of a new administration:
“We are closely monitoring recent economic developments in the UK and are engaged with the authorities,” a spokesperson for the Washington-based crisis lender said Tuesday in an emailed statement. ”
“engaged with the authorities”? So they are in talks with the UK government about what exactly ? an emergency crisis loan? Last time that happened was another Socialist failure brought about by Red Labour
Russians are reported to be fleeing to neighbouring Countries trying to escape the war and being forced to fight.
They are being denied entry.
It’s strange that those genuinely trying to get out of their Country because of real fears and reasons are being rejected yet thousands of economic ‘migrants’ are being collected as soon as they dip their toe in the Channel on safe Country France’s beaches.

Question: How do I access the comments on the BBC website? I recall there was a special website where BBC articles with comments sections were posted in a nice format that included deleted comments. I wonder if that site still exists and if so I would be grateful for it.

A comment in favour got 500 Likes vs 100 dislikes
It was mentioned mods were deleting many comments and they could be seen at iHYSdb (now closed down)

Been watching with interest Michael Palin’s travelogue to Iraq. I know these programmes are heavily edited, but like elsewhere the population is either very poor or fairly wealthy. The oil companies belong to the government, so little of the benefits end up benefitting those in need. However, there didn’t appear to be much unrest, although clearly a lot of security checks, but everyone goes about their business whether its bustling neon lit cities or in rural areas enjoying communal festivities.
Seeing those who end up on our beaches ‘from Iraq’ are clearly not farmers, not if they can afford to pay traffickers £8,000, – money which would give them a reasonable lifestyle back home, I cannot understand why they’re here – ok they speak English, but aside from free medical treatment what do they gain from being here ? education they can get at home, likewise a roof over their head, so unless they plan terrorist attacks or opening an Iraqi restaurant, I’m asking why ? Or are they at risk at being called to do national service and flee before getting called up ?

The Italian election signals another battle in the war of ordinary people against the internationalist elites. Inside the EU this war has fronts in Poland, Hungary, Italy and Possibly in Sweden . There strongly growing opposition parties to the EU totalitarian state in France , Spain and Holland.
No doubt the EU will use every dirty trick it can to undermine the opposition to its rule but people are seeing through this and every time th Brussels elite resort to suppression of democracy a few million more folks join the barricades so to speak.
The potential fuel crisis in Germany this winter could seriously weaken the main pillar of the EU and leave it short of funds. The Brussels elite is keen to continue pursuit of Net Zero which will further distance ordinary folks from the elite.
I think that the cracks in the EU dam are beginning to widen.

Tony Blair famously mobilised a host of celebrities in support of his New Labour Party.

AISI, “Could this be the work of Rishi Sunak’s City pals extracting their revenge on Truss and Kwarsi?”
Could be.
More likely the Bank of England as Remainers deliberately keeping the interest rate low to cause problems for a Conservative Government who are in power, as well as then make a few bob for themselves and their City pals who are Remainers as Chris Odey has noted.
Think we are heading down a route that may include moves toward a World Government. Of course that might mean redundancy for a massive numbers of bankers and FX traders if there is just one world currency. Ooops!

Anyway – more importantly – mortgages are now being offered at 5.99%. The markets are well ahead of the disfunctional Bank of England which is completely out of step with the real world .
If mortgages are really 6% now – what will they be in 6 months ? I reckon nearer to 10% – if Russia continues fighting and inflation continues up .
And the effect of this ? Maybe repossessions – a retraction of the southern housing market ? Certainly a deepening recession . More public sector strikes . More CCJs – more personal bankrupts …
Red Labour – then – has an open goal – but it has a tendency to cock it up . The chancellor has demonstrated not being up to the job .
. I’ve written here that any idea of cutting taxes when the fools are cutting down money trees is mad – well it is .
Solution ? Freeze public spending – by hook or by crook – increase interest rates by over 2% by December 2022 . Find a way of stopping the 45% tax cut
None of the above will happen ….
Funny isn’t it ? Now that the government is going to borrow money to subsidise your fuel bills – you don’t hear about people freezing now or riding buses to stay warm .
But come Saturday – when the new rate kicks in – we might here a ‘not enough ‘ narrative … with references to godless Christmas – which the Christ hating BBC always refers to …
All the so-called, “Leaders” of nations are collectively trying to screw their countries over. ‘Scorched Earth’. Take Turkey, with inflation at about 80% what does the clown Erdogan do? Go for another interest rate reduction when those before failed completely.

Liz Truss’s troubles leave Labour buoyant
Labour’s former leader Ed Miliband is in ebullient mood. He leans back in his chair, headphones on, chuckling, talking to us on the BBC’s Newscast podcast a few hours after Sir Keir Starmer’s speech to this year’s Labour conference. Now the shadow secretary of state for climate change and net zero, he knows what losing feels like and he’s been around long enough to see his party do its fair share of internal bickering. He, like others in Liverpool, are convinced something has now changed.
And there is, undoubtedly, a buoyancy here. A buoyancy borne of banishing the internal squabbles of the past; floating too on the self-made troubles of the new prime minister. People here have looked on open mouthed at what’s happened in the last few days in the markets and are worried about the consequences. But they are excited about the political chance they hope it might give them. Sir Keir calculates Liz Truss has chosen to sail away from the seas upon which an election can be won; he wants to be seen to be tacking straight towards them.
The Nordstream pipeline explosions. It couldn’t be Green eco terrorism could it?
There are other possibilities. Perhaps an attempt to increase gas prices and pressurise Europe by the USA or China ?
The Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer is live on @BBCr4today at 0810 and @BBCBreakfast at 0830 from here at the Labour Conference in Liverpool. Next week it'll be the turn of the Prime Minister, during the Conservative Conference in Birmingham https://t.co/f7C2yadNE9
“All the papers are focusing on the tax cuts,
but the IMF has also criticised the government’s energy price limiting policy too.”
What’s the IMF’s record on giving the UK correct warnings ?
Did it warn the UK about RUSHING into mad green policies
that left the UK with depleted gas storage & extraction
that now caused a crisis when IMPORTED gas prices went ballistic ?
The IMF actually promotes to countries that they should adopt “green growth” plans
when in fact those plans will
– cost countries £trillions
– cause their energy prices to rise
– cause their domestic energy to be unresilient to spurts in world gas prices
as been proven to happen
ie the US fracked and had more resilience.
cos they had gas on their doorstep and could export surplus at high prices.
Thinking about Rupa Hug’s grade A leftist racism against Kwasi Kwarteng, thus reminding us all BTW that race issues for the left are not an issue in themselves but just another tool of the left to create division and undermine society, reminds me of an old joke from the early 1970s.

Thank you for noticing – that one was chosen more carefully than usual . It’s like the term ‘coloured ‘ I use .
I use it because in the not so far future the race industry will adopt it and demand everyone uses it of be declared a witch / racist …
Some would red my comment and think’ that writer is obviously a dinosaur because of the words he uses . Absolutely the opposite – as I’ve said here before – I have dirty hands because I once carried out ‘ racial awareness’ training – a sin I can never forgive myself – so I’ve been on courses to ‘enlighten ‘ on the causes and expressions of racism .
Hasn’t stopped me from being a racist though …( site monitors – one for the ‘file ‘)
Fed, terminology is becoming an unnecessary minefield in today’s climate.
Growing up in the 50’s and 60’s and when black people were as rare as hen’s teeth, the odd one could be seen from the US Air Force base nearby. I remember saying ‘black man’ and Dad reprimanding me for being ‘rude’ and should use the word ‘colour’ instead. Well, that’s all been turned on its head, they want to be called ‘black’, but it seems that ‘colour’ is back in fashion !!
Mum used to have a ‘costume’ (old word for suit) in ahem n……r brown, but I can’t remember it being detrimental to the colour of human beings, it was just a colour, like fuschia pink – but now I can understand the connotation. And we don’t dare mention Guy Gibson’s black labrador dog !
As for the nonsense with Trans……. I never waste my time with all that. He is he and she is she.
Kier starmer – apparently the leader of the red Labour Party – when asked – whether a labour MP called rupa huk – sister of BBC presenter should be in the Labour Party . Huk described the coloured Tory chancellor as ‘ superficially ‘ coloured because he didn’t sound coloured .
Now I don’t like ms Huk – in fact a think she is either loopy or vile or both
But I believe in free speech – and to effectively destroy her for her comment is wrong . Challenge – yes – but surely the red Labour Party shouldn’t disown her ….
Mind you – it has a record on loopy coloured female MPs ….

Latest in the live-feed the BBC are running to allow them to publish every criticism of the government they can find. It’s exactly as they did with ‘Partygate’.
Meanwhile the headline for Labour is:
‘Labour promises free breakfasts at primary school’
The destruction of Boris by the BBC using this non-stop onslaught technique was one of the most outrageous acts of politcial assasination I have ever seen. And because they got away with it, they are doing it again.
What am I missing here ?. Why is everybody just quietly accepting it ?. Are they afraid the BBC will give them the same treatment ?.
Having free school breakfasts and free summer hols meals isnt just the cost of the food, there is the cost of getting all the staff in to run all of it, security of the school and cleaning up afterwards, and most of the staff won’t want to do it either, I worked in schools for 15 years.
Christine Lagarde has been found guilty of negligence in approving a massive payout of taxpayers’ money to controversial French businessman Bernard Tapie but avoided a jail sentence.19 Dec 2016
The sabotage of the Nordstream gas pipes is a big story and has disappeared from the BBC sub-panes completely.
That tells me 100% that the Russians didn’t do it.
The question I keep asking myself is whether is is right for the Western media to blatantly and deliberately lie to us about what is going on in Ukraine.
Russia are clearly the agressors – but their reasons are much deeper than we are told.

The Tucjer show last night covered this . Public comments by both Biden – and his psycho hence girl declaring they will ‘end it ‘ does suggest that the US did it …

I commented here several weeks ago about the 15 minute song and dance at my local Tesco Extra superstore when I paid for a £10 grocery buy with a £50 note.
I was talking to a mercenary returning to the UK from Syria on a flight a few years ago and I asked him who played the most dirty, the USA or Russia – basically trying to confirm to myself that we are good guys and Russia are not.
His response surprised me a bit : he said they are both more or less the same in what they are prepared to do.
That was a very interesting conversation.
As was the time a clearly extremist Muslim going back to Pakistan was sat next to me and I engaged him in conversation as the only chance I would ever get in a ‘friendly’ environment to learn what made him tick. But that’s another story …
I would guess that their recruitment over the last 10 years has been based on quotas and half their staff are basically such low grade, they can only be given trivial things to do. So they have them writing absolutely pointless rubbish and making cheap-trick videos to fill the web site.
My personal favourite is still one about a crazy black woman in London who danced everywhere she went.
More than eight months after the underwater volcano near Tonga erupted on Jan. 14, scientists are still analyzing the impacts of the violent blast, and they’re discovering that it could warm the planet.
Recently, researchers calculated that the eruption of Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apa spewed a staggering 50 million tons (45 million metric tons) of water vapor into Earth’s atmosphere, in addition to enormous quantities of ash and volcanic gases. This massive vapor injection increased the amount of moisture in the global stratosphere by about 5%, and could trigger a cycle of stratospheric cooling and surface heating — and these effects may persist for months to come, according to a new study.
It’s one of my big argument against acceptance that human activity is the cause of adverse climate change – there are long term cycles which we do not have records of – they disciples claim they understand how the climate works – no they don’t – so don’t base future economic plans ( carbon zero crap ) on unknowns –
For all we know the planet might be heading for an ice age and human activity is slowing that down a tiny bit …
… or even that by slowing it down, we cause other changes to occur which break the natural cycle and cause complete catastrophy in hundreds or thousands of years.
The point is that they have no clue what WILL happen. They just observe what DID happen then make up a story as if to say they know why it happened. Then they tweak their story when something they did not predict happens.
I am quite certain they have no clue what we actually need to do to limit global warming to any specific number of degrees. They just say whatever happens to fit what could realistically be paid and which they can then tap into themselves.
At least another year to go before there is any chance of getting rid of her. She’s still helluva popular believe it or not.
I’ve have noticed that more people are able to see through her now and it is looking like she may just lose the next election.
The media are so tame and woke controlled and they spout WEF propaganda all the time.
Meanwhile her mission to stifle free speech and subvert democracy continues unabated.

BBC More Or Less explaining people shouldn’t be looking at the gas SPOT market, cos British energy corps don’t buy on the spot market
they buy far in advance.
“Those long term markets have fallen from 10 times normal prices , to now 7 times”
Priced in Dollars and Liz Truss has tanked the pound. Oil prices have fallen like a stone, but prices at the pumps are still high as they ever were.
Where is the outrage from Libore? Why are they so quick to jump on useless silly bandwagons but so slow to tackle things which really matter.
They will moan and carp about high profits, they will look to these to seize and squander for themselves, but they will not help the common people when they have the chance.
Prices at the pumps are clearly NOT as as high as they were
It’s not so much that the pound has fallen
rather that the dollar has risen against all other currencies
cos each country has to buy more dollars to buy the same amount of gas.
In July, the UK bought electricity on the spot market from Belgium at a premium of 5000% (average price £178 per megawatt hour, UK paid £9724). Nice work if you can get it.
If you’d travelled across the world to pursue a better life, would you move back in return for money?
Germany is betting that the answer is yes.
The country has long offered migrants and asylum seekers financial incentives to leave its shores, and until 28 February 2018 it’s prepared to pay out extra.
Individuals will get €1,000 and families up to €3,000 (£2,650; $3,540) to cover rent or resettlement costs back in their home countries – things like basic kitchen or bathroom facilities.
Critics say Angela Merkel’s government is trying to bribe its way out of a tricky situation, but supporters say the scheme will help sad, exhausted migrants who just want to go home.
Germany is by no means first to this approach. So where else has done it – and is it morally wrong?
Slava is reporting the lunatic German liberals and potentially traiterous Merkel signed a contract with Russia for 40 Billion cubic meters of gas per year until 2030 which they are contractually bound to pay for whether they take delivery or not!
If that’s true then the Russians would be getting paid come what may for the next 8 years!

Persecution of people with albinism (sometimes abbreviated PWA[1]) is based on the belief that certain body parts of albinistic people can transmit magical powers.

I get the feeling that some of the Corbynites have been given soft focus, rational, cuddly reasonableness personas – but even still it’s piss-poor behaviour on stilts from the Labour central bureaucracy.
What is interesting is the procession of well known faces whose antics wrt to skulduggery are rarely if ever exposed.. Harriet Harman at Angela Eagle’s leader launch party ferinstance…
I’ve never been a fan of Labour internal struggles – but this is, I feel, – on a different level regardless of what you think of Corbyn (me: I don’t like the bloke – or his “policies” and regard him as delusional)
The involvement of the BBC in the promulgation of smear campaigns doesn’t get any mention that I can see. For the lies to get as far, as fast as they have – BBC collusion is a given.
I’m trying to look at @BBCradio4 Twitter, but this Corbyn supporting lot are showing themselves to be deranged
They have spammed Radio 4 by tweeting hundreds of times about this ProCorbyn documentary
One guy tweeted them 20 times within 2 minutes
Meanwhile Corbyn supporter @Naomi4LabNEC
Naomi Wimborne-Idrissi has been tweeting a crazy PR stunt
“Today my guest pass was taken away.
How to make left wing *Jews* welcome in Keir Starmer’s Labour Party”
.. but she also tweeted prior to that she had been suspended
and now again tweets that
“As a *Jewish* woman elected to Labour’s NEC and suspended last week by the party”
Yet it seems she is a strange troublemaker as if she’s run by the Iranians or something
She got elected to the Labour National Executive
then she went off to a meeting with a group banned by Labour
and therefore she got suspended last week
and therefore when she turned up yesterday at the Labour conference her pass was taken, cos she is suspended
Yet she in her tweets plays the Jewish card
She has no need to mention that she is Jewish in her tweets
In 1975 a beer in Austria was 12 schillings and there were 40 schillings to the pound.

What happeed in between? UK inflation reached 26%. There had to be an IMF emergency bailout.
Our useless government have forgotten that inflation kills everything economic. You can pretend otherwise but all that happens is that the day of reckoning comes later and harder.
Pensioners whose companies went bust and whose pensions had to go into the Pension Protection Fund have a maximum inflation increase of 2.5%. The government doesn’t even know they exist.
G those who govern us are not paid enough to be “Very Bright” and yet again you see the consequences of poor pay bringing poor quality talent to a job.
Of course there will always be a queue for any job with a 6 figure salary and the only qualification being a big enough gob, but is it really only people like Fick Ange a woman with more kids than O levels you want to attract to the job?
Just remember the pay for the Prime Minister in Winston Churchills day was 2.5 times what it is now, and if it were the same the PM would be being paid £450K which is still less than the governor of the Bank of England and the DG of the BBC !
R4 now “The 55 Tufton St lobby group people won’t come on air to talk about funding
.. So here’s Ed Davy”
FFS righty groups are NOT free to list their funders
cos what happens is Greenpeace and all send intimidation letters
“we know where you live, so you’d better stop giving money to that righty org,”
Lefty lobby groups like Client Earth filter their donations through various funds
so their funding is opaque too
Ultimately “who funds the messenger” is not important
what counts is the validity of the message
the logic and evidence it presents.
It doesn’t matter that Putin may fund anti-frackers
What counts is that when they say fracking is dangerous
they are unable to present a list of dead bodies.
This BBC prog is now pushing a conspiracy theory
“First Tufton St focussed on getting government spending down
then they focused on getting Brexit done
and now they are turning to Climate Change”

and actually said “he has been fighting these policies for 10 years”
So they have just contradicted their own conspiracy theory.
oh “clip of Ed Davy speaking against Matthew Sinclair’s article about Climate Change taxes”
oh now “Tufton St won’t comment, so here’s more Ed Davy”

Research in Sweden showed that women CHOSE to stay out of tech jobs

In communist countries there was a high number of women in tech jobs cos they were forced into them.
A more likely scenario is that the Americans would use somebody else to make such mischief, thereby ensuring they are in a position to claim ‘plausible deniability’. For example, the Norwegian special forces would have the capability to deal with undersea pipes. The use of British pilots by the Americans on U-2 spy flights was in a similar category
e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_U-2#United_Kingdom
The Russians are frequently accused of using paramilitary forces from the Donetsk and Luhansk regions in the same manner.
Think you will find that most of the fighting is being done by the Donbas militia. They are being supported by Russian artillery and air force and of course the Wagner units. The Russian regular army is only involved in infantry combat when the militia require infantry support. C’est la Guerre.

The point is drag queens are not mere panto dames

Makes youwonder what the hell is going on in Britain when the IMF steps in to intervene in a G7 nation and criticises the flagship policy of a new administration:
“We are closely monitoring recent economic developments in the UK and are engaged with the authorities,” a spokesperson for the Washington-based crisis lender said Tuesday in an emailed statement. ”
“engaged with the authorities”? So they are in talks with the UK government about what exactly ? an emergency crisis loan? Last time that happened was another Socialist failure brought about by Red Labour

Been watching with interest Michael Palin’s travelogue to Iraq. I know these programmes are heavily edited, but like elsewhere the population is either very poor or fairly wealthy. The oil companies belong to the government, so little of the benefits end up benefitting those in need. However, there didn’t appear to be much unrest, although clearly a lot of security checks, but everyone goes about their business whether its bustling neon lit cities or in rural areas enjoying communal festivities.
Seeing those who end up on our beaches ‘from Iraq’ are clearly not farmers, not if they can afford to pay traffickers £8,000, – money which would give them a reasonable lifestyle back home, I cannot understand why they’re here – ok they speak English, but aside from free medical treatment what do they gain from being here ? education they can get at home, likewise a roof over their head, so unless they plan terrorist attacks or opening an Iraqi restaurant, I’m asking why ? Or are they at risk at being called to do national service and flee before getting called up ?

The Italian election signals another battle in the war of ordinary people against the internationalist elites. Inside the EU this war has fronts in Poland, Hungary, Italy and Possibly in Sweden . There strongly growing opposition parties to the EU totalitarian state in France , Spain and Holland.
No doubt the EU will use every dirty trick it can to undermine the opposition to its rule but people are seeing through this and every time th Brussels elite resort to suppression of democracy a few million more folks join the barricades so to speak.
The potential fuel crisis in Germany this winter could seriously weaken the main pillar of the EU and leave it short of funds. The Brussels elite is keen to continue pursuit of Net Zero which will further distance ordinary folks from the elite.
I think that the cracks in the EU dam are beginning to widen.

More likely the Bank of England as Remainers deliberately keeping the interest rate low to cause problems for a Conservative Government who are in power, as well as then make a few bob for themselves and their City pals who are Remainers as Chris Odey has noted.

Who cares ? Honours are dishonest …..
Anyway – more importantly – mortgages are now being offered at 5.99%. The markets are well ahead of the disfunctional Bank of England which is completely out of step with the real world .
If mortgages are really 6% now – what will they be in 6 months ? I reckon nearer to 10% – if Russia continues fighting and inflation continues up .
And the effect of this ? Maybe repossessions – a retraction of the southern housing market ? Certainly a deepening recession . More public sector strikes . More CCJs – more personal bankrupts …
Red Labour – then – has an open goal – but it has a tendency to cock it up . The chancellor has demonstrated not being up to the job .
. I’ve written here that any idea of cutting taxes when the fools are cutting down money trees is mad – well it is .
Solution ? Freeze public spending – by hook or by crook – increase interest rates by over 2% by December 2022 . Find a way of stopping the 45% tax cut
None of the above will happen ….
Funny isn’t it ? Now that the government is going to borrow money to subsidise your fuel bills – you don’t hear about people freezing now or riding buses to stay warm .

Liz Truss’s troubles leave Labour buoyant
Labour’s former leader Ed Miliband is in ebullient mood. He leans back in his chair, headphones on, chuckling, talking to us on the BBC’s Newscast podcast a few hours after Sir Keir Starmer’s speech to this year’s Labour conference. Now the shadow secretary of state for climate change and net zero, he knows what losing feels like and he’s been around long enough to see his party do its fair share of internal bickering. He, like others in Liverpool, are convinced something has now changed.
And there is, undoubtedly, a buoyancy here. A buoyancy borne of banishing the internal squabbles of the past; floating too on the self-made troubles of the new prime minister. People here have looked on open mouthed at what’s happened in the last few days in the markets and are worried about the consequences. But they are excited about the political chance they hope it might give them. Sir Keir calculates Liz Truss has chosen to sail away from the seas upon which an election can be won; he wants to be seen to be tacking straight towards them.

More than eight months after the underwater volcano near Tonga erupted on Jan. 14, scientists are still analyzing the impacts of the violent blast, and they’re discovering that it could warm the planet.
Recently, researchers calculated that the eruption of Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apa spewed a staggering 50 million tons (45 million metric tons) of water vapor into Earth’s atmosphere, in addition to enormous quantities of ash and volcanic gases. This massive vapor injection increased the amount of moisture in the global stratosphere by about 5%, and could trigger a cycle of stratospheric cooling and surface heating — and these effects may persist for months to come, according to a new study.

For all we know the planet might be heading for an ice age and human activity is slowing that down a tiny bit …

… or even that by slowing it down, we cause other changes to occur which break the natural cycle and cause complete catastrophy in hundreds or thousands of years.
The point is that they have no clue what WILL happen. They just observe what DID happen then make up a story as if to say they know why it happened. Then they tweak their story when something they did not predict happens.
I am quite certain they have no clue what we actually need to do to limit global warming to any specific number of degrees. They just say whatever happens to fit what could realistically be paid and which they can then tap into themselves.

If you’d travelled across the world to pursue a better life, would you move back in return for money?
Germany is betting that the answer is yes.
The country has long offered migrants and asylum seekers financial incentives to leave its shores, and until 28 February 2018 it’s prepared to pay out extra.
Individuals will get €1,000 and families up to €3,000 (£2,650; $3,540) to cover rent or resettlement costs back in their home countries – things like basic kitchen or bathroom facilities.
Critics say Angela Merkel’s government is trying to bribe its way out of a tricky situation, but supporters say the scheme will help sad, exhausted migrants who just want to go home.
Germany is by no means first to this approach. So where else has done it – and is it morally wrong?

Slava is reporting the lunatic German liberals and potentially traiterous Merkel signed a contract with Russia for 40 Billion cubic meters of gas per year until 2030 which they are contractually bound to pay for whether they take delivery or not!
If that’s true then the Russians would be getting paid come what may for the next 8 years!

Another non-entity who has created a persona on the back of cookery programmes. She isn’t a chef, she is a one time band member, and then opened a restaurant in conjunction with another. Don’t like her, don’t watch her, but like others she has been forced upon an audience that WILL accept diversity regardless of whether there is talent or not.
The same with another ‘Andi’ – Peters, this kids tv presenter, who for reasons known only to others, has been included as a judge on Masterchef, and to the much annoyance of viewers has a 2 hour slot selling food and acting idiotically on QVC.

“Here’s the beautiful thing … these are British products, selling Islamic Products, selling Halal Products (Halal – throat cut whilst conscious, slaughtered by Muslim only employee, incantation to animal from a Koran by Muslim only). That is niche and general, but it’s gone main stream. {Sadiq Khan – youtube Chicken Cottage Award Ceremony 2012}”
– Mayor in charge of 7000+ pubs of London with moral conflict with his religion?
– Mayor in charge of betting shops of London with moral conflict with his religion?
– Mayor promises fewer chicken shops (2017) but was promoting more Halal chicken production (2012)!
– Mayor promotes Halal food process – which is positive discrimination for Muslims! {halalfoodauthority.com}

Persecution of people with albinism (sometimes abbreviated PWA[1]) is based on the belief that certain body parts of albinistic people can transmit magical powers. Such superstition is present especially in some parts of the African Great Lakes region, it has been promulgated and exploited by witch doctors and others who use such body parts as ingredients in rituals, concoctions and potions with the claim that their magic will bring prosperity to the user (muti or medicine murder).[2]

I watched “The Purge” and will watch the rest.
I get the feeling that some of the Corbynites have been given soft focus, rational, cuddly reasonableness personas – but even still it’s piss-poor behaviour on stilts from the Labour central bureaucracy.
What is interesting is the procession of well known faces whose antics wrt to skulduggery are rarely if ever exposed.. Harriet Harman at Angela Eagle’s leader launch party ferinstance…
I’ve never been a fan of Labour internal struggles – but this is, I feel, – on a different level regardless of what you think of Corbyn (me: I don’t like the bloke – or his “policies” and regard him as delusional)
The involvement of the BBC in the promulgation of smear campaigns doesn’t get any mention that I can see. For the lies to get as far, as fast as they have – BBC collusion is a given.

I’m trying to look at @BBCradio4 Twitter, but this Corbyn supporting lot are showing themselves to be deranged
They have spammed Radio 4 by tweeting hundreds of times about this ProCorbyn documentary
One guy tweeted them 20 times within 2 minutes
Meanwhile Corbyn supporter @Naomi4LabNEC
Naomi Wimborne-Idrissi has been tweeting a crazy PR stunt
“Today my guest pass was taken away.
How to make left wing *Jews* welcome in Keir Starmer’s Labour Party”
.. but she also tweeted prior to that she had been suspended
and now again tweets that
“As a *Jewish* woman elected to Labour’s NEC and suspended last week by the party”
Yet it seems she is a strange troublemaker as if she’s run by the Iranians or something
She got elected to the Labour National Executive
then she went off to a meeting with a group banned by Labour
and therefore she got suspended last week
and therefore when she turned up yesterday at the Labour conference her pass was taken, cos she is suspended
Yet she in her tweets plays the Jewish card
She has no need to mention that she is Jewish in her tweets
She’s on video
..https://mobile.twitter.com/LatestMessiah/status/1573236134171541504
She previously had to pay £200K libel
for saying this on the Vine Show and Facebook about a BBC journalist
“The journalist who did that so-called investigation has a terrible record of Islamophobia, far-right politics, he’s been disciplined at – BBC has had to apologise.”

In 1975 a beer in Austria was 12 schillings and there were 40 schillings to the pound.

What happeed in between? UK inflation reached 26%. There had to be an IMF emergency bailout.
Our useless government have forgotten that inflation kills everything economic. You can pretend otherwise but all that happens is that the day of reckoning comes later and harder.
Pensioners whose companies went bust and whose pensions had to go into the Pension Protection Fund have a maximum inflation increase of 2.5%. The government doesn’t even know they exist.

G those who govern us are not paid enough to be “Very Bright” and yet again you see the consequences of poor pay bringing poor quality talent to a job.
Of course there will always be a queue for any job with a 6 figure salary and the only qualification being a big enough gob, but is it really only people like Fick Ange a woman with more kids than O levels you want to attract to the job?
Just remember the pay for the Prime Minister in Winston Churchills day was 2.5 times what it is now, and if it were the same the PM would be being paid £450K which is still less than the governor of the Bank of England and the DG of the BBC !

R4 now “The 55 Tufton St lobby group people won’t come on air to talk about funding
.. So here’s Ed Davy”
FFS righty groups are NOT free to list their funders
cos what happens is Greenpeace and all send intimidation letters
“we know where you live, so you’d better stop giving money to that righty org,”
Lefty lobby groups like Client Earth filter their donations through various funds
so their funding is opaque too
Ultimately “who funds the messenger” is not important
what counts is the validity of the message
the logic and evidence it presents.
It doesn’t matter that Putin may fund anti-frackers
What counts is that when they say fracking is dangerous
they are unable to present a list of dead bodies.

and actually said “he has been fighting these policies for 10 years”
So they have just contradicted their own conspiracy theory.

A more likely scenario is that the Americans would use somebody else to make such mischief, thereby ensuring they are in a position to claim ‘plausible deniability’. For example, the Norwegian special forces would have the capability to deal with undersea pipes. The use of British pilots by the Americans on U-2 spy flights was in a similar category
e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_U-2#United_Kingdom
The Russians are frequently accused of using paramilitary forces from the Donetsk and Luhansk regions in the same manner.

Think you will find that most of the fighting is being done by the Donbas militia. They are being supported by Russian artillery and air force and of course the Wagner units. The Russian regular army is only involved in infantry combat when the militia require infantry support. C’est la Guerre.
