Hello Fedup
Just googled the SNP, and how many MPS in the House of Commons, 45 MPS. Not a bad percentage, seems far too many, based on the population of Scotland
Hello Andy
And I notice that the new Berkow gives them a disproportionate dig at the green card PM each week – not that it matters … pity the fat crofter isn’t leader any more – maybe be can do is act back in Scotland ….’the people of Scotland ‘’’’ …. Hitler would be proud …
My local londonistan paper reports a 32 year old plod with a bondage fetish getting 2 years for attacking an ex girl friend ….
… the number of plod arrested / charged / convicted / prison …is so high that the likes of the bbc don’t even bother putting them in the local news …..the attempted murder x3 machete attack in a pub did make the London local news though …. No names mentioned …
My brother in law is an ex-copper from Humberside and he said the pass mark for the entrance exam was 95%. He added that for the met, it was only 60% because of the dire quality of the people down there prepared to be police.
He also said that a few transferred up here to get away from London – but after having to deal with the kind of scumbags OUR area is full of, they usually went back.
Every Gumtree page a month ago had a recruiting advert for the Met

I understand they dumped entrance exams because they wanted the approve colour in – and to overcome language issues ….. and I think they don’t go to ‘school ‘ any more – just do some on line stuff … such as
There is a green sit down on the m25 . Do you arrest the protesters or the taxpayers trying to clear the road ?
Or
You are off duty and use your warrant card to abduct and rape a person who identifies as a woman ? Is that right or wrong ?

BBC Africa reporter @HemansSharon just appeared on FooC
doing an item about California legal dope growers
“This scheme represents a kind of compensation for an (old) policy that disproportionately TARGETTED African-American and Latino communities”
That’s BS the law did NOT specify police should go to African-American and Latino communities ..the law was colourblind.
The word she means is AFFECTED
Those communities WERE actually more affected by old drugs policy cos they had more dealers and producers in them.
Her previous programme
StewGreen,
“’This scheme represents a kind of compensation for an (old) policy that disproportionately TARGETTED African-American and Latino communities’.
That’s BS the law did NOT specify police should go to African-American and Latino communities ..the law was colourblind.”
See what you did there… classic “bait & switch”: You quote someone talking about POLICY and then switch to talking about LAW. They are not the same.
The POLICY was to use the law to target the African-American and Latino communities. This has been well documented and is the very reason why the “Social Equity Program” was introduced.
Of this, it’s obvious you know nothing, but never mind. Keep up the good work, Stew.
Maxi tgere was no bait and switch on my part
AFAIK the policy worked as I said it did
ie policy did the normal thing of following the law.
And the reporter did the switch of claiming those areas were targeted rather than had the actual criminals
She supplied no evidence to back her claim
It was just assertion.
Maxi, What you appear to be doing is asserting that CRT critical race theory is proven
Sure many do accept it
but many others contest it
It is not universally accepted.
BTW when was working in America soon after we arrived our group was in a black neighborhood at a bus stop
A group of kind black people arrived and insisted that we move to the bus stop in front of the church, cos they said “our neighbourhood is kinda dangerous”
So I can accept that the arrest rate in that neighborhood was higher cos of actual crime.
Not merely because police were deciding to target that area.

From Robert Spencer in ‘PJ Media’ on the BBC’s love of Shamima Begum (e.g. a documentary on R4, plus the 10-part podcast):
“… … …
The celebritization of Begum is just one episode in a long string of indications that the BBC has a deeply ingrained far-Left bias. What’s more, its notable lack of balance belies the mission statement contained in the BBC’s Royal Charter: “To act in the public interest, serving all audiences through the provision of impartial, high-quality and distinctive output and services which inform, educate and entertain.” Impartial? That ship sailed for the BBC a long, long time ago. The Beeb’s fascination with Begum demonstrates beyond any lingering doubt that the once-trusted broadcaster has reduced itself to being nothing more than a propaganda arm for the hard Left, which sees any enemy of Britain and the West as an ally and friend.

Honestly, is she really that important that the bBC needed to write this as if its the end of the UK. We still have the spongers in the HoCs to claim expenses, and answer to its masters in the WEF and EU
Absolutely zero sense of proportion. Just a small corner of the UK.

The president of the World Bank will step down from his post in June, leaving the organisation almost a year before his term was due to end.
David Malpass announced his decision on social media, without providing a specific reason for his departure.
The pick of former US President Donald Trump,
he has been criticised as a climate-change denier.
Last year, the White House rebuked him after he said he did not know if fossil fuels were driving climate change.
He later apologised for the remarks.
News is done with dramatic pauses “3 point 3 billion pounds !”
Em Centrica profits mostly come from abroad
whereas the BBC itself sucks “3 point 3 billion pounds !” per year off the British public directly
350.org is so upset about the cold it is asking £3.50 to heat up the planet.
Or something.
So much explained.

Talking today to a Canadian I know with an interest in politics and definitely not a Trudeau fan, says Adern has fallen, now Krankie, and next it’s Trudeau.
When I said the elections weren’t that long ago he said things are so bad in Canada at the moment there could well be an uprising to remove him or even a revolution.
It strikes me though that many Western countries have allowed themselves to fall into the mess they are because of allowing entitled old men to lead parties to defear after defeat.
These old men have no political vision what so ever and are only in their positions by entitlement and because they want to hold onto their wealth at all costs.
And that’s it, the sum total of their political ideology starts and ends at that.
Free market capitalism is a wondeful free enterprise vision which should inspire anyone. The market doesn’t care about which race or creed or sexual identity you are if what you produce is what the market wants then you will thrive, if not you will have to either change or fail.
No one is criticising the horrible soul destroying vision of ‘equality’ and especially not equal opportunities.
Equality is the Mao Suit ! next time you hear someone mention it ask them why they aren’t wearing a Mao suit. That is the philosophy of equality, no one ever being able to aspire, to improve their lives or to rise above by virtue of hard work talent or enterprise, the best you can ever do is to be equal.
Then there is equal opportunities which has foold many sheeple into thinking it means a level playing field when it comes to jobs and promotions and fairness when it in fact means nothing of the sort and is far more sinister.
Equal opportunities means not teaching your child to read or write because that gives them an unfair advantage. It means not helping them with their homework, not hiring a private tutor or buying items which might assist their education in any way because that would give them an unfair advantage an unequal opportunity.
We hear none of this. Just old men talking about taxation and laws designed to keep the poor where they are and the rich, rich, it’s all about freezing social mobility by what ever means necessary.
How sad it is that this is reflected all over the West, and why is it that although the far Left Cameron gave honours to all the remain team the leave team including Farage got nothing at all ?
Guess at the latest WEF meet up they decided to replace the “in your face” politicians with a different brand but with exact same agenda of course.
Thoughtful
I wonder if the current state is the inheritance of the 1960s? The children of the air heads of that social change ?
On today this morning the now retired CEO of unilever was effectively spouting the sort of ani capitalist – diversity – environmentalism- social justice crap which has taken root in too many companies .
I do wonder if such an attitude is a phase or something else .
But the woke cancer is everywhere and the longer it goes on the more kids growing up will accept it as ‘normal ‘ – aided by the MSM .
Adapting too it is tricky . Rebelling against it even more difficult – and fighting it ? Becoming a casualty of cancellation or worse to come.
Maybe only true hardship will cure it…

Liffted from Southfront.org. Make of it what you will:
In January, Zelensky blamed Russia for the helicopter crash in Brovary, because of which the leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine was killed:
“War is not only on the battlefield, war has several directions. There are no more accidents. All this is the result of war. All these steps, everything that happens, missiles that hit our people, on the civilians, deaths of children…”
In response, the President of Ukraine received the following appeal from a Ukrainian woman:
“Tell me please, how can you constantly blame everyone, but not yourself? Never yourself! Everyone is always to blame, not you! What are you sitting there for? Why did you run for president of our country? To destroy our nation? Right now, that’s what it looks like!
For you, everyone else is to blame for everything. You collect all the scrap metal from all over the European Union! You make young guys who have newborn babies and pregnant wives go to the front. You changed the law, so now even sixteen year olds are conscripted, and seventeen year olds go to the hot spots. You’re even the official sponsor of fucking British scientists who dissect our guys for organs.
You bastard, your wife walks around in a 40 thousand euro raincoat, and this wasn’t even a New Year’s gift! She lies that she knows the prices in her country and claims that mackerel costs 8 hryvnia… Have some conscience, Zelensky! Haven’t you ruined everything? Are you not afraid that your children will pay for your sins?
You laugh, mock and jeer the common people, thanks to whom you became a millionaire! You’re a dollar millionaire, for fuck’s sake! Where did you get it – from the war, fucking hell, from bones! I understand that you don’t feel sorry for anyone, you bastard, but don’t you even feel sorry for your children? Just get out of Ukraine!
Take all these fuckers that you sponsored, all these Banderites… and just fuck off to Britain! People are tired of you, tired of your regime, tired of your lies, do you understand or not? You lie all the time, you brute! You’ve never told the truth! Go out now to Khreshchatyk and prove that you are in Ukraine!
Turn on the live broadcast on all social networks, kneel down, you faggot, and ask forgiveness from every mother from whom you took a son! Because you are not going to negotiate with Russia, because you are not sitting down at the negotiating table with Putin, because you are fighting until the last Ukrainian and because you are still bombing Donbass! You stinking faggot!!!”

Ex-Chancellor Philip Hammond has bravely decided to sell his soul in public, calling for the UK-China relationship to “return to business as usual”, despite the ongoing evidence of security threats, espionage and mass human rights violations. Hammond chose to deliver this call for a renewed Golden Era in… the CCP propaganda outfit China Daily.

He describes all the aforementioned concerns about China as “background noise” to the UK-China relationship over the past three years, and insists they’re still an essential trading partner.
“Political differences have never been and must not become an impediment to Britain’s strength. The UK’s history is one of trade-led diplomacy — a trade-first approach. We are, after all, the nation that sold boots to the Napoleonic armies while we were fighting them and ultimately defeating them. You cannot get more trade-first with that. And, quite honestly, if we only trade with people with whom we have no political differences, we can close half our ports tomorrow.”
Presumably Hammond would sell boots to China and then be only too happy to lick them…

Forgive my late appearance after a night of celebration.
Don’t let the #scummedia say otherwise – most Scots were celebrating last night.
The obituaries last night on all channels including GB News were unbelievable. I wondered which world leader had died.
Then I realised it was the wee ned! No achievements in 16 years, other than turn Scotland into the most divided and bitter nation possible. If you think Brexit tore families and friendships apart, that was nothing compared to their Campaign.
Laughable to hear the comments about Misogyny in the wake of her departure, particularly when you consider her reaction to the loss of Jo Swinton’s seat.
Not an ounce of consensus or compromise.
Simply hate.
I suspect this sudden resignation is the result of an upcoming scandal that even she couldn’t bury.
For what she has done to my country, and the image of my country, may she rot in hell.

Giant desert solar farms might have unintended climate consequences
Turning deserts into solar energy farms could raise temperatures across the globe and cause devastating droughts in the Amazon.
https://www.greenbiz.com/article/giant-desert-solar-farms-might-have-unintended-climate-consequences
Drought in the Amazon, cyclones in Vietnam
Covering 20 percent of the Sahara with solar farms raises local temperatures in the desert by 1.5 degrees Celsius, according to our model. At 50 percent coverage, the temperature increase is 2.5 degrees Celsius. This warming is eventually spread around the globe by atmosphere and ocean movement, raising the world’s average temperature by 0.16 degrees Celsius for 20 percent coverage, and 0.39 degrees Celsius for 50 percent coverage. The global temperature shift is not uniform, though — the polar regions would warm more than the tropics, increasing sea ice loss in the Arctic. This could further accelerate warming, as melting sea ice exposes dark water which absorbs much more solar energy.
This massive new heat source in the Sahara reorganizes global air and ocean circulation, affecting precipitation patterns around the world.

The BBC has set aside up to £12m to pay off the past tax liabilities of BBC presenters being pursued by HMRC for tax avoidance using personal service companies, the latest BBC annual report has revealed.
However, the National Audit Office (NAO) has questioned whether the payments are a legitimate use of BBC funds, and has issued a qualified opinion of the BBC accounts as a result.
https://www.taxwatchuk.org/bbc-tax_avoidance/
Surely if the BBC pays its employees’ tax liabilities that is a benefit in kind on which both the employees and BBC should pay tax and National Insurance? Or are they trying to wriggle out of that as well?
Trust and independence that the bbc inspires takes a lot to inculcate.

Lithium deposits in Ukraine
“This may not be the main reason for the invasion, but undoubtedly Ukraine’s mineral wealth is one of the reasons why this country is so important to Russia,” said Rod Schoonover, former director of the Environment and Natural Resources Section of the U.S. National Intelligence Council.
A wealth confirmed by the fact that Ukrainian lithium had begun to attract global attention as early as last year, before the Russian invasion halted exploration. Last November, in fact, the Australian company European Lithium said it was close to securing the rights to two promising deposits of lithium in the region of Donetsk (eastern Ukraine) and Kirovograd, in the center of the country. In the same month, the Chinese company Chengxin Lithium has also asked for the rights on some deposits, a move that would allow China to win the first deposit in Europe.

During her tenure as United States Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton drew controversy by using a private email server for official public communications rather than using official State Department email accounts maintained on federal servers. After a years-long FBI investigation, it was determined that Clinton’s server did not contain any information or emails that were clearly marked classified.[1] Federal agencies did, however, retrospectively determine that 100 emails contained information that should have been deemed classified at the time they were sent, including 65 emails deemed “Secret” and 22 deemed “Top Secret”. An additional 2,093 emails were retroactively designated confidential by the State Department.[2][3][4][5]

Talking about ethics at the BBC, proof that the BBC is run by Global Fascists or International Socialists (InterNazis).
No mainstream media interest in the 150th anniversary of Speakers Corner or the 75th anniversary of the Nuremberg Code.
So a book called “The Nuremberg Code and Its Modern Enemies” will explore potential reasons why the 75th anniversary of the Code was almost universally ignored by the medical ethics profession and the mainstream media, and why, starting in 2020, attempts to undermine the Code’s authority have become a cottage industry for literally dozens of writers.

Turkey’s ‘marry your rapist’ law has taken women’s rights right back to the 1950s
To say this is alarming is an understatement. With the president conveying this message, it will only be a matter of time before society buys into the idea that women’s rights don’t matter

BBC didn’t like centrica making money – but not so much mentioning that out of the £3.3 billion only £75 million came from British Gas …. Peanuts …. The rest from global sales of petrol products ….
Conservative party leadership candidate, Liz Truss, is facing questions on her involvement in the closure of the Rough gas storage facility off the coast of East Yorkshire.
Closed in 2017, Centrica Energy at the time cited safety issues at the plant as the reason for its closure, however, the opposition is pointing out that this report came nine days after Ms Truss started as Chief Secretary to the Treasury.
Truss’ supporters deny she had any involvement in the plant’s closure and Centrica at the time said the closure was “not a decision for ministers”.

Thank you for contacting us about BBC News.
I understand you feel we should cover alleged expenses abused by MPs.
We know that not everyone will agree with our choices on which stories to cover, or the order in which they appear. Our news editors make these complex decisions, based on the editorial merit of all the stories at hand. We accept that not everyone will agree with each decision – various factors are at play and there’s often debate in the newsroom too.
A range of factors affect how we put together our news bulletins. Is it breaking news, or a dated story? Does it follow on from a recent event, or change our understanding of things? Is it unusual, or attracting national interest? We consider these things and also put great importance on verifying events and building up a clear picture – before reporting in a reliable and trustworthy way.
Editorial decisions are more of a judgement call, than an exact science – so you’ll even find variety from one BBC programme to the next. Time constraints, the expected audience profile and the style of each bulletin or current affairs programme can all play a part.
Nevertheless, we appreciate the feedback that our viewers and listeners give us when they feel a story has been overlooked or marginalised.
All complaints are sent to senior management and programme makers every morning and we have included your points in this overnight report. These reports are among the most widely read sources of feedback in the BBC and ensures that your complaint has been seen by the right people quickly.

YOUR COMPLAINT:
Complaint Summary: Follow up UK MP expenses of 2009 – MP paid £65K
Full Complaint: Dear BBC £3.5 billion paid under threat of prison complaints department,
Could you revisit the 2009 UK MP expenses again, I would not like to find out that MPs like Tony Blair have ran to the shredder prior to your investigations.
Here are some details, can you use Journalists who are avoiding the BBC Gary ‘£1.75m’ Lineker Pay Gap and see why an MP on £77K salary tops up their money with a job giving them £65K extra a year.
Maybe find other MPs on such amazing schemes and why they are getting free tickets to concerts when they have so much cash sloshing around in their MP expenses accounts.
Chuka Umunna MP, Streatham (tax payer pays him £77K per year) is being paid £65,040 a year Advisory Position at Global Progress (London) Ltd …
1) Look into what he produces for £65K a year. 2) Look at who owns the company and other players – Tony Blair is linked to it. 3) Find other MPs doing the same. 4) Ensure they are paying taxes on the extra money. 5) Maybe interview them and ask some questions rather than how they feel today? For a head start you can find the details on : THEY WORK FOR YOU https://www.theyworkforyou.com/regmem/?p=24950americanprogress.org https://www.americanprogress.org/about/staff/browne-matt/bio/ COMPANIES HOUSE https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/11079851/filing-history Good luck and let me know how you get on.
p.s. I also see that MPs claim their MP Office BBC TV Licenses Tax on their expenses, thus the UK tax payer has to pay their own TV License and their MP’s TV License. Might want to consider stopping this for the 650 MPs.

The “black book” of Jeffrey Epstein, a wealthy financier and now-accused child sex trafficker, is a smorgasbord of high-profile, powerful people, including Presidents Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, Britain’s Prince Andrew and former Prime Minister Tony Blair, and convicted sex assailant and comedian Bill Cosby, Epstein’s former neighbor.
Then there’s supermarket mogul Ron Burkle, Clinton’s daughter Chelsea Clinton, former Secretaries of State Henry Kissinger and John Kerry, late Saudi arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi, media titan Rupert Murdoch, and movie director Woody Allen, New York magazine notes in a new article detailing the contents of Epstein’s private phone book and private plane’s flight logs.
The article contains summaries of Epstein’s relationships with various well-heeled people whose names appear in those documents including President Donald Trump, who once called Epstein a “terrific guy” in an interview with New York, and Bill Clinton, who traveled multiple times on Epstein’s plane.

That’s a lot of peroxide gathering.

Wow. The amount of hot air generated here will be enough to power a few more balloons over the US airspace.
Seems that the Obama administration is now saying the 3 UFOs shot down by the heroic USAF at the weekend were not Chinese spy devices .
It’s possible that they were not balloons – maybe it was the first shots in an inter galactic war.
Funny isn’t it ? All those science fiction stories about what would happen if aliens turned up – now we know – they’d be designated as Chinese and shot down ….
Certainly would have made ‘The Day The Earth Stood Still’ shorter.
Speaking of an excess of peroxide…

BBC crew + Katty backpedalling there on Fetterman I feel – totally medically unfit for any elected office being dragged along by a very ambitious wife.
Joe Biden has a stutter I’m told in addition to being a robust and sharp 80 year old.
Fetterman is a warning signal for anyone not of the welfare party thinking of running . He demonstrated that the Obama Biden method of fixing elections still works and will work again in 2 years time .
4 more years for Obama Biden ….
It is absolutely improper for the BBC to pay contractors tax liabilities. There are two parties to these contracts and it has always been the case that the contractor makes good the tax shortfall because they have money that’s been invoiced and paid. The BBC will be liable for unpaid employers NI and possibly penalties.
I do however have some sympathy with the idea that companies can “employ” people on a freelance basis and people to work in whatever way they want. HMRC have gradually whittled these freedoms away, I think there have been test cases in the Courts.
A piece from the Daily Telegraph about BBC funding –
STARTS
The director-general of the BBC has said it is “truly amazing” that the broadcaster is “pulling off” forcing households to pay the licence fee.
Speaking to staff at a meeting on Tuesday, Tim Davie said it was “glorious” that the BBC had “better budgets than some of the commercial operators” and did not “need to make a profit on everything”.
“It’s truly amazing what we’re pulling off by the way,” he said. “That most households are pretty happy paying a licence being a forced payment. It’s amazing what we’re pulling off.”
Mr Davie’s comments come a week after Richard Sharp – the BBC chairman who has faced calls to resign over his friendship with Boris Johnson, the former prime minister – branded the £159 annual licence fee “anachronistic”, pointing out that those prosecuted for non-payment are disproportionately female.
The BBC’s future funding model is currently under review after a report by peers last year said the licence fee was “regressive” and should be replaced with a “viable alternative”.
Snippets from a recording of the one-hour meeting, seen by The Telegraph, show the BBC boss speaking candidly to staff at BBC South as journalists prepare to strike over cuts to local BBC radio services.
There is also internal upset over the decision to merge the BBC News channel and BBC World News, halving the number of presenters as a result.
Speaking about the licence fee settlement – the agreement with the Government on how much BBC users can be charged – Mr Davie, 55, said: “We’ve got to be careful at the BBC in terms of our message to the outside world.
“People think we’re the cat with the cream at the moment and I know it doesn’t feel like that internally and I really am very sensitive about saying that.”
Insisting that both ITV and Sky are “in crisis”, Mr Davie said: “Our budgets are slightly better than some of the commercial operators and the lovely thing is we can play long term as well, we don’t need to make a profit on everything which is glorious.”
‘People are switching off’
Sir Iain Duncan Smith, the former Tory party leader, said the comments reflected the “arrogance” of the BBC.
“People don’t actually think the BBC gives them what they want,” he said. “People are switching off. They are fed up getting spoon-fed this very central London, wokeish, apologetic view of their country.”
Peter Bone, the Tory MP for Wellingborough, added: “The comments seem to be from a parallel universe.
“My constituents hate being forced to pay a tax for a TV service that most of them don’t want. If the BBC is as good as he says it is, then surely he won’t mind it being a subscription service?”
Mr Davie also addressed the issue of bias. He said: “There’s a whole load of waffle talked about, you know, the Left. It’s not largely a Left or Right thing at the moment, it’s social issues, it’s rural affairs, what you think about the countryside, what you think about climate change, what you think about diversity.”
Describing the BBC as “incredibly important to democracy”, he also suggested that corporation staff are underpaid – saying: “We’re in a fight for something, that’s why you work for the BBC, that’s why people take less money coming here.”
In Sept 2021, Mr Davie’s annual salary rose from £450,000 to £525,000, an increase of 16.6 per cent. It came after pensioners lost free television licences as the corporation sought to make £1 billion worth of cuts.
“You know I get extremely well paid,” he added. “But everyone in my top team takes a lot less money that they can get.
“The BBC pyramid is actually not that bureaucratic compared to most. I can feel it at times but it’s me, 12 at the top, 60 very senior people, 300, then 1,000 line managers.”
The former marketing director’s appointment to succeed Tony Hall in 2020 raised eyebrows, because he has no career history in journalism.
After working for Pepsi, as well as Proctor and Gamble, he joined the BBC in 2005. He controversially recommended that 6 Music be shut down when he was director of audio and music in 2010.
Tim Davie defends local radio cuts
Joking that “I’m on my 16th sec of state”, he invited staff to ask him whatever they liked, including: “What the hell are we going to do about what’s happened with the chairman?”
Mr Sharp has become embroiled in a row over how a distant family member came to secure an £800,000 loan for Mr Johnson while he was prime minister.
Appearing to address the proposed cuts to BBC local radio, Mr Davie insisted: “No one loves radio more than me but look at the Rajars,” referring to the official listening ratings body.
“I say it with a heavy heart but we’re just not going to be able to deliver that through linear radio alone. No one can.”
Quoting an unnamed newspaper executive who said stories with “BBC, trans or royal” in the title got more clicks, he added: “The quickest way of getting reach is, you know, cat falling off fridge.”
A BBC spokesman said: “Tim Davie has been speaking to teams across the BBC about the organisation’s strategy, alongside taking questions from staff. It’s not unusual for these topics – among many others – to be raised in internal discussions.
“In talking with BBC teams, Tim regularly discusses the privilege of having the licence fee; the continued need to deliver outstanding content and distinctive journalism; the challenging circumstances facing the media industry, including the BBC; and the fact that the BBC can take creative risks that are harder for others to do.
“The commercial media sector generally pays staff more than the BBC does, however many people work at the BBC because they believe in public service and have access to great opportunities.”ENDS
