    Defund the BBC. Lest we ever forget the Telly Tax robs the poor to make the rich even richer. In my listening to TOADY and TWatO today, several names new to me have popped up as ‘Correspondent for this’ and ‘Correspondent for that’ which means the BBC are still recruiting like crazy and depriving Simon Wolfson of much needed staff for his Next chain of shops.

    Stop paying the TellyTax and save energy and therefore the planet (according to the BBC) by not putting the TV on. Also by not paying the TellyTax of £159 you may well not have to choose between heating and eating this winter. Benefits all round. As they used to say in WW2 “You know it makes sense.”

    Have a good weekend everyone.

      Just cancel your direct debit to the BBC, claim any refund due and carry on watching the gogglebox regardless. Do you think any of the millions of invaders bother coughing up?

      You forgot to mention: All foreigners. Note at the time they are introduced as, “over to XYZ (foreign name), our correspondent for ABC”

      The benefits for the BBC in the listener having no vision. Just think if we had that vision and the number of foreigners might actually be seen putting the BBC television channel to shame.

      “Some people are really stupid…..”. Nigh on 50% of the population judging by these Mid-Terms. And they enjoy/prefer open borders; no law and order and all the other features of a civilised society.

      Sadly, I think the US had gone too far. There can be no reversal of the monumental decline promoted by extraneous forces. I’m thinking Marxists/Communists.

    Three quarters of asylum claims are passed , says the pro immigration lobby and the BBC .
    Which should be of no surprise to anyone who has dealings with senior civil servants.
    Firstly senior civil servants are lazy and it’s the easiest way out .
    Secondly it lends a veneer of respectability to their friends in the open borders lobby so the boats keep leaving France and everyone at the Home Office has a job .
    100% fail to get asylum or 100% are given asylum and we can see the futility of our public servants. 75% seems just about right .
    Thirdly it doesn’t cost the Powers That Be anything personally.

    Now imagine if everyone disputed the tax they have to pay !
    Obviously The Powers That Be wouldn’t pass 75% of the claims because that would mean they only get 25% of the taxes now gathered, and seeing that they can’t even run the country on the 100% they extract from us all without borrowing further from “ the markets “ that would mean drastic government cuts in spending, and no huge wages and pensions for the civil service .

    No it’s easy to see how they operate. If they don’t suffer they will inflict it on us ordinary proles . If they do suffer they will put a stop to it .

      75% of the gimmiegrants eventually stay because the process takes years.

      After they receive the first refusal, they appeal, and then appeal again, all on legal aid of course. Did you ever see a poor lawyer?

      By the time their final appeal is turned down, they will have been in the country for over 5 years, and have formed “family ties” (ie knocked up some scrubber whom we are now supporting). So it would be against his right to a “family life” to send him back now. So he gets “leave to remain” and that’s it. Another chancer gets to stay in our country, another slapper is on national assistance for herself and her kids, and the lawyer buys himself a new BMW. Rinse and repeat ad infinitum until Britain ceases to exist.

    So a Sky report on a couple (man and woman) from Albania who came on the boats – both with faces that belied belief ! heavily tattooed eyebrows, pearly white teeth, and she had enhanced lips that she could have sailed across the Channel on ! Claiming asylum because they want to live here. If you didn’t laugh you’d cry.

      Brissles
      Here is the SKY report. She claims to be a stockbroker who arrived in the back of a lorry, he arrived across the Channel. They are not escaping war or persecution, they in effect admit they are economic migrants pure and simple. Any interviews with Albanians and the story is just the same, they want a “better life” and see the U.K. as their best option with the result Albania’s population is rapidly diminishing. Won’t be long until other Countries with similarly poor economies start following Albania’s example. This couple seemed to have found themselves well appointed accommodation in Brighton.

    Can we get it straight BBC , eco loons , liberal/left and the Powers That Be .?

    Has Britain been a Good Thing in history or a Bad Thing ?

    One minute our politicians and senior civil servants must be at every international conference, leading the way in something , at the top table, at the centre of the EU / UN / international body of something — all because we have always done so and we’re so good and the world would miss our savvy and be in a worse place .

    Then it’s we started the industrial revolution that blighted everyone else and caused the end of the world because we’re wicked greedy exploiters and must pay trillions to afflicted areas and people .

    If it’s the first then we should not pay trillions in compensation.
    If it’s the second then we should not send politicians and civil servants to international seminars and world organisations.

    Excellent news – a bunch of coloured folk have got the ‘order of merit ‘- one of then ‘for services to playschool ‘ – the late Queen had a sense of humour after all …..

    Elsewhere
    The met plod commissioner has his begging bowl out – writing in the DT about his excellent idea of setting up a ‘command ‘ to investigate his own outfit on top of the ‘complaints command ‘

    The new ‘woke command ‘ will use clever methods to root out non woke plod and ensure there is no room for anyone wanting to fight ‘real crime ‘ ….

    …the responses where wholly negative …. But on the upside in 5 years time this current chief drone can trade his knighthood in for a peerage – if he were coloured he might even get an OM for ‘services to wokedom’….

    Today
    Bee lady in Norfolk hospital -apparently the hospital is full up so the ambulances fill the car park . Their engines must be very bad for the environment .

    The manager £ of the hospital doesn’t have a solution . I do . Cut the number of ambulances . This would stop people troubling hospitals turning up and enabling punters to die at home and not upset hospital stats .

    In fact – why not cut the number of hospitals – with less ambulances there would be less demand and funding of the NHS staff could be cut … the diversity managers could be kept on though as well as ‘change managers ‘…

    Don’t forget to clap

    The bbc /civil service has moved its’ targeting from braverman – to Raab .I think there was someone else but forgotten in the tedium . Did they have to resign ? Who cares …

    It looks like civil servants are upset about having to ‘do work ‘ and need counselling or ‘enablers ‘ to learn how to work on an ‘office ‘ again .
    They deserve compensation for being forced to work from home …..

    Ps – as I write apparently there are girls playing rugby and it’s exciting . The ‘raspberries ‘ and taking on the ‘kiwis ‘ in a sort of fruit salad contest .

    Do you notice how the BBC attempts to lever a ‘nickname ‘ onto some tedious girl team playing some third rate ‘World Cup ‘.

    Hello, hello, hello, what’s all this then?

    Petty disputes and woke stunts edition

    Met warns strikes will hurt war on crime – cautions today’s Telegraph

    Firstly, if the Metropolitan police reckon they are out there waging a war on crime, then evidently they’re losing it: Knife injuries heading back towards record highs of before pandemic, A&E data shows (Daily Express, October)

    Although we note our cops are keen to massage their own publicity these days and do like to quibble over the statistics: Crime figures being warped by recording petty disputes as crime – police chief (East London Advertiser, October)

    The Telegraph report has the bobbies fretting they will perhaps be drawn in as a stop gap in the plethora of up-coming public sector industrial disputes: Met Commissioner warns of ‘unsustainable’ demands from health and care services

    We know the police have willingly metamorphosied from a force into a service – so is it such a stretch to envisage the blue boys driving ambulances or feeding granny with a spoon in a care home? They brought this on themselves.

    Thought policing couldn’t get more farcical? – here we go with one of those Daily Mail PC-gone-mad reports…

    By the way, you read that sentence – did you think policing couldn’t get more farcical – not Thought Policing…

    Now male officer dons jacket to experience menopause. Woke stunt row over Met terror chief’s ‘hot flush vest’

    Woke stunt temps one toward a Matt Hancock segueway, but one must resist.

    So coppers, tell us more about your supposed war on crime – one hardly dare refer to a war on terror these days?

    What are our police priorities? I’m afraid we’ll have to quote extensively from the Guardian

    Met records its highest ever number of female police officers… Metropolitan police said its female officer representation is 30.4%, equating to 10,386 officers… It added that its target is for 50% of all new recruits to be women. Sir Mark Rowley, the recently appointed commissioner of the force, and the mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, attended a Met outreach team event in Stratford, east London, on Friday. The force is trying to increase the proportion of officers from racially diverse backgrounds, as out of its 34,112 police officers, only 16.6% are from black, Asian and multiple ethnic heritage communities. A mere 3.6% of officers are black – and so it goes on.

    Casey [Louise Casey, full report is due next year] was commissioned by the Met in the wake of the kidnap, rape and murder of Sarah Everard by a serving officer – OK, there are clearly issues arising from that regretable case. Prominent among them being the extraordinary Lockdown powers gifted to the police which enabled the rogue officer to plausibly lure a random passing woman into his car – but one doubts those powers will be examined. Far more palatable for outrage fodder will be: “systemic problems” with racism and misogyny in the Met – quite how race entered into the Sarah Everard case fall out is a bit of modern mystery – but hey-ho, Lenny Henry-oh.

    Things have been going wrong since back then – I refer of course to the Blair years: Harman defends wearing stab vest… Deputy Labour leader Harriet Harman has defended her decision to wear a stab proof jacket during a police walkabout in her south London constituency. Ms Harman, also Commons leader and Labour chairman, rejected newspaper claims it suggested she did not feel safe on the streets (BBC 2008)

    Home Secretary Jacqui Smith humiliated by police leader… In a brave move, Ms Smith appeared before angry bobbies at the federation conference… But Ms Berry [Police Federation chairman] mocked her for smoking pot as a student and for wearing armour on a walkabout in South London last month (Daily Mirror 2008)

    It’s a digression, I know, but the calibre of Labour female politicians has actually gone down since the likes of Harriet Harman and Jacqui Smith were running the show – imagine the damage this beauty might do: Angela Rayner ‘underestimate me at your peril’ Lunch with the FT; and Angela Rayner: I spent £5,600 on a boob op (Daily Mail) – wot, luv, yer didn’t go NHS?

    Back to policing…

    Matt Jukes [Britain’s anti-terror chief] donned the garment, which has heat pads to simulate hot flushes, in a meeting to mark Menopause Awareness Month (Daily Mail) – well I suppose it’s a natural progression from standard issue stab vests?

    Have our cops taken leave of their senses? Have they gone collectively doolally tap?

    London crime: Met Police boss reveals only 1 in 5 calls to police are about crime. Sir Mark Rowley said he plans to begin “pushing back” on dealing with non-police issues such as mental health callouts (My London) – he could start with his woke stunt colleague.

    The result of the US election is still in doubt! In case you had forgotten it happened last Tuesday but there are still three states counting for the Senetorial election and about 20 districts still counting for the Representative elections.
    Surely such sluggardly counting leaves the opportunity wide open for all manner of fixing, rigging and corruption. This needs fixing in time for 2024. Otherwise the most powerful office in the world, well certainly one of the most powerful, will be filled by someone who’s legitimacy is open to doubt.
    Perhaps they could use motor transport rather then stage coach to bring in the outlying polling stations boxes. Oh hang on what about the CO2 !? Mind you the horses flatulance will give rise to lots of potent methane. You just can’t win.

    The court decision about immigration hotels came after 6pm on Friday
    That’s a strange time. And despite the headlines the council’s have not yet fully lost.
    a judge refused to extend the injunctions, saying it is the “statutory duty” of the Home Office to provide accommodation to asylum seekers “who would otherwise be homeless”.

    We had been told the decision on the Humber Hotel in East Yorkshire would come on Monday morning
    then it kept getting delayed.
    Media never explained the case had become bundled together with the Ipswich one,
    nor that it was about getting the judge to extend the temporary injunctions.
    Migrants will be allowed in for now, but there are still full court cases to come.

    BBC reporter
    A High Court judge has refused to continue the injunction which stopped the Humber View Hotel, at North Ferriby being used to house asylum seekers.
    Hon. Mr Justice Holgate said East Riding of Yorkshire Council had “not presented a case of substantial planning harm.
    It was argued the loss of the hotel would be detrimental to key employment sites in the area, including Humber Bridgehead and Melton.
    But the judge also considered the use was temporary and there was evidence the hotel might have to close if the injunction were continued.
    The judge also said the Home Office had notified ERYC of its proposals and invited discussions.
    “In the case of ERYC the authority first raised the possibility of enforcement action just over 3 weeks after the Home Office notified them of its proposal”

        Surely when the judge is having his 3-month holiday in the Seychelles he could put a few thousand up in his mansion back home.

        Maybe he could even take a few hundred on holiday with him to act as personal waiters and stuff like that.

    TOADY Watch #1 – Anarchy in the UK

    Led by the BBC, the fire is now directed at 8 a.m. at Dominic Raab. Suella Braverman can take off her helmet and flak jacket for the weekend but I’m sure the BBC will be hoping to dredge up something they can use against her tomorrow and for the next week.

      PS: I see the fire at Dominic Raab is being directed by Pippa Crerar. What a coincidence?!

    The UK has signed up to one of PESCO’s most important projects – ‘Military Mobility’ …
    The reason the EU Commissioners were so clearly delighted to sign up the UK yesterday was, we suggest, threefold:
    1. Access to the UK’s superior armed forces
    2. Money
    3. A step on the road to sucking the UK back into EU control, one step at a time

    TOADY Watch #2 – “Crisis? What Crisis?”

    More SunnyJim-ism from the BBC programme and the print media (newspapers) who are pushing books and their authors at us for Christmas. The Telegraph and i are both pushing books and TOADY featured David Baddiel whose previous book helped an autistic lad whose mother thanked the author for helping her son. We were told that Baddiel has a new book coming out, no doubt in time for Christmas.

    Has Lady Glenconner written a book? If so, add the Times to the list and then the FT is all acronyming over Christmas with their unfortunately monickered HTSI. It may include books.

    DM says at least 200 hotels have now been taken over by the Government, housing some 37,000 migrants.
    LittleBoats have recorded 332 hotels – “sacking staff, abusing paying guests & endangering local communities in an orgy of greed.”

    From our own correspondent

    Now that the danger of a democrat wipe out in the US has passed it gets top billing . Even BBCOFCOM might have winced at the level of pro democrat bias / propaganda expressed by the beeboid – don’t know who he was ….

    It was offensively biased and signposts maybe how the BBC is going to develop into clear overt bias and omission …. ( eg no mention of the frankly dodgy vote counting methods in many States )..

    Just to add – a story about an alleged racial killing of a kid in Australia
    The green crap COP thing –
    Something about rich people buying houses in Portugal
    More green crap about about a forest fire

    Just woke propaganda messages -BBC – just dire .

        Fedup2
        In the good year of 1955 at the age of 15 years I left school to work as a builders labourer and the guys on site informed me that self abuse will make you go deaf and blind. Well I think my tormenters may have had a point because now I can no longer HEAR the BBC or SEE their point of view. Those days were like attending the University of Life. An institution which has now,unfortunately for our young people, been deemed an abomination. Life will show them the way.

          Part of the problem is expectation . The people running the MSM think those who went to university are better than those who didn’t . Brexit is an example of this . Only thick uneducated people voted for brexit – in fact they are so thick they didn’t know what they were voting for – they were deceived by the likes of the evil Farage …

          Clever university educated people know better – and that’s why they will take what used to be the UK back into the EU ( not that we left ) . If we’d left we’d have control of our borders – pulled out of any conventions or treaties harming the UK – but we did t leave so there is no border control –

          – and as a result the problems are building – as seems to have happened today …. Some serious blood will land up being
          Spilt.

    This so called ‘Tory’ Government will go down in infamy, as the Ukraine defends its borders from invaders our feeble leaders put up invaders in hotels . Not only has it wrecked our economy, it has failed our health care and allowed eradicated diseases to enter our nation . In the interest of our people, it has got to go!

    Tory MPs are letting down their constituents. Has anyone heard a peep of protest from them?
    The Tory Party should now be renamed “The OXO Party”, because they are now the laughing stock .
    Next time vote for UKIP & The Reform Party .
