Solas rules again folks .
Part of chapter 5 is regulation 9.
Misuse of Distress signals prohibited.
Regulation 10 ;
The master of a ship shall be released from the obligation imposed by para (a) … if he is informed another ship has reached the distressed boat and his assistance is no longer necessary.
So there’s no need , in fact it is illegal, for RNLI or Border Farce vessels to venture from port and go into our waters OR FRENCH WATERS to “ rescue “ bogus asylum seekers .
You know you just made a very good point
libmob say of the illegals
“They are not illegal cos it’s not illegal to claim asylum in the UK”
Look OK if a Chinese or Soviet athlete were to slip his minder yes they are able to claim asylum
but if a Syrian is in SAFE France
and then pays a smuggler
Then someone in the boat calls the RNLI or UKBF to get rescued, that’s a false distress call
PLUS they are putting the British staff in danger cos there could always be an accident.
I’m guesssing it’s usually one of the illegals who calls rather than the smugglers

The BBC FINALLY run an article with Biden saying something ‘unexpected’. So – full of suspicion – I went to check.
And – entirely as expected – it’s a rare one where he is not as slurred as usual and he just says ‘God save the queen’.
Far, far more important than this are the many times he completely loses the plot and changed to be a complete gibbering idiot. THAT is the real news BBC. You are giving a free pass to the most powerful man in the world while he takes us to WW3.
Watching him in that video and comparing him to other times, I’m absolutely certain they dope him up for these speeches now.
I think the motivation for putting this article as front-page, world news is more about showing Joe at his most lucid to quell all the stories about his dementia.
The BBC are now so predictable with these stories where immigrants murder people, it’s almost painful to watch them unfold.
This is how they handle news like this. The headline is about a man charged with murder. But absolutely as expected, it hardly talks about the man himself at all. It meanders away to discuss the victims and lays on another thick layer of empathy.
The BBC do not even show a picture of the man who is the whole point of the story !. We just get the same pictures of the victims again. It’s no secret : lots of other places have his picture. Here he is:
But worst of all – and to my absolute amazement – they include this:
“Our investigation will consider whether the actions of the van driver were influenced by the police car’s presence shortly before he collided with the two pedestrians.”
They are actually trying to infer it might be the police’s fault he did it !!!.

Listening to Yanis Varoufakis on Today this morning it struck me why he is not representative of his compatriots, indeed why he can’t even seem to understand their hostile feelings about migrants.
The guy is very intelligent. He speaks foreign languages fluently. He is open to new experiences and comfortable in cosmopolitan environments. He is financially astute and has no problem earning a living even in hard times. In fact he is comfortably off. His natural human compassion for others never comes into conflict with his self-interest as it does with most of the rest of us who have to compete with immigrants for jobs and housing and basic services. Nor does the increasing number of immigrants threaten his sense of identity as it does the ordinary person whose identity is solely located in the traditional character of the local community.
Yanis, like most of the European intellectual and political class, are cut off from the feelings and attitudes of ordinary people by virtue of the security they acquire through their intelligence, sophistication and acumen. His type just cannot see that what they regard as xenophobia is simply an instinct for self-preservation amongst the ordinary native people of Greece and Europe as a whole.
I’m now, unusually often, experiencing, “Wrong Password/Passcode” to access regular sites I have hitherto had no difficulty in accessing. Then go through all the nonsense of changing passwords too often for my liking. The ‘Tech’ zealots want to trap you in a never ending cycle which demands an enormous amount of time devoted to, ‘putting things right’ and/or making access that much more difficult incrementally. Increasing time taken up for superfluous reasons is my idea.
Then, out of the blue, for perhaps many relief arrives, Angel Gabriel in the form of Google Chrome steps in to offer to manage the now increasingly taxing requirements of the internet and store all your passwords. Two + two = 4.
Amazing how ‘Nudge Units’ are evolving and their techniques.
It’s this 2 step verification that annoys me, I needed it to get into my email account, because I had the cheek to log in from a different device.
You used to have the safe guard wherever you were in the world, if you lost everything, at least you could use your email, no longer.
I went through a gap of three months in my dealings with Ebay when I constantly entered a loop on signing in to Ebay. Never got in to my account. “Round and round the Mulberry Bush”. It went on and on and on. I confess to prefer to deal with Ebay over the likes of Amazon as I don’t see executives of Ebay becoming political and foisting their thoughts on me and the World. Anyway, I obtained the Registered Office address of Ebay UK and wrote to the principal Director listed. They all (including others) detest the written letter with a Certificate of Posting backing it up – without the recipient knowing the sender has a legal record. Anyway, not even the decency of an acknowledgement much less a reply.
It is satisfying to know that the tech companies believe they are so proficient. When, in fact, when things go wrong, they resort to shattering their image.
G, every now and then, a site, say eBay for example will accept my correct password but tell me it is wrong. It then asks me to re-enter the password. It may be a way of the site guarding against robots. Maybe our Stew can advise on that. In a similar way, if you make a string of contactless purchases by credit card, every so often the card company will ask you to enter your pin. Those manning checkouts have counted for regular customers and reckon that it is an entirely random thing.
That’s the exact moment when you forget your pin, Uppers!
I wanted to use my card to buy a car once, spending quite a lot of dosh and found I was totally blanked on my pin! It took ages on the phone to the bank, and my dealer was not best pleased either…
The same happens in Tesco occasionally, but at least I have a Nigerian Prince to help out after I ring him!

What’s the betting that some of the same Nottingham students who are currently hugging and weeping will be virtue signalling at the next demo against curbing immigration?
In fact, it’s already started. The BBC are keen to report that the mother of one of the victims urged crowds at a vigil to “hold no hate that relates to any colour, sex or religion.”
(Incidentally, do we really believe that such statements – after every ethnic or jihadi killing – are spontaneous? I don’t believe that’s the first thing that occurs to a grieving parent. Rather, I suspect some politician, police or BBC type has had a word in their ear.)
No, the statements are not spontaneous. On the contrary, they are carefully orchestrated by the government. Here is a link from the other day describing what goes on behind the scenes:
The sentiment “hold no hate that relates to any colour, sex or religion” is a fine one and most people would agree with that. But it could be appended with: “reserve your hate and anger for the politicians who have created and maintain this state of affairs. Always look back in anger at them, and never forget what they have done.”
And we have been at war since the passing of the British Nationality Act 1948, when Parliament decided that 25% of the World’s population had the right to come and live in Britain, a country that comprises 0.16% of the planet’s total land area.

We’ve got 99 problems – all miraculously predicted by former BofE boss edition
Our BBC likes the Daily Mirror for their top press pick as the Labour-supporting tabloid takes a quick side swipe at Boris via: King’s first birthday honours list… Take note, Boris… these are honours for people who actually deserve them… an array of unsung heroes who do Britain proud
Kick a man when he’s down – just to make sure he stays down?
Whereas forgive and forget is the media mantra in other contexts – as for Nottingham… yesterday was forgive and today is certainly forget as far as the frontpages are concerned.
Another dog with a bone, bee in his bonnet – choose your own synonym: Carney blames Brexit for inflation… Former Bank of England boss says he was right about high prices and slow growth (Telegraph) – one questions whether Carney’s bold told you so includes implied pre-knowledge of the intervening Lockdown new money printing splurge or the self-inflicted economic stress of the Ukraine war Russia sanctions? Careful Carney, you’ll have us thinking it was all a Planned-demic or that Russia was deliberately provoked into an invasion – and remember folks it’s not a conspiracy theory if it’s true
Our bestie favourite cartoonist mate Matt (what… no King’s honours list gong?) is back with a sketch of a Tory busy canvassing door to door: “Will you vote Conservative in the by-election? If so why?”
We’ve got 99 problems – that’s the Daily Star worrying about ice cream cornets – don’t scoff at the blokey jokey tabloid – the BBC were onto this one three weeks ago: Cadbury Flake too crumbly for 99s, moan ice cream sellers – blame Brexit?
Think I’m joking? Vendors say they’ve seen quality plummet since production of the chocolate stick switched to Egypt… when they are unusable he turns to a German alternative… (BBC) good old EU, eh?
But we were admiring Matt’s summing up of our cartoonish political moment
And that concise comic snippet, ladies and gentlemen, rather neatly sums up the situation and ought to save us acres of political analysis and commentary.
Likewise the Russian leader who doesn’t tend to fluff his lines or randomly fall off the podium arse over tit tells it like it is: Putin tells west to ‘go to hell’ over nukes (Telegraph)
Making the world a safer place
Good old bumbling Joe Biden, our leader of the west showing us how to make friends and influence people.
Proving it’s not only Mark Carney who can do the old Mystic Meg routine, Mr AsI correctly predicted yesterday (sort of, he knew it was a good each way bet): Harriet Harman look away now! The new Mail column the whole world’s talking about…BORIS (Daily Mail)
“Trying to cut the big guy out, huh?” That’s a quote from the classic all-star comedy movie It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World [1963] specifically the scene where Jonathan Winters, who plays the heavy-set blue collar truck driver, suspects the mixed bag of compatriot treasure seekers are attempting to cheat him of his fair share of the loot. “We’ve talked about dividing the money up fifteen different ways, and which ever way we do it… I get less!” (or some such)
For a moment one thought one spotted Rishi Sunak pictured beneath his prime ministerial predecessor Boris Johnson the prize new columnist on the Mail frontpage.
Picture exclusive Has Emma found love match with tycoon’s son? – it must be nearly time for Wimbledon since this is media darling plastic Brit polyglot internationalist tennis princess Emma Ride-a-canoe

Funny that rishi is going to be another failed PM who wasn’t voted into office … democracy right ?
There is a headline on the Guardian about nut nut and trump ‘undermining the justice system ‘( or similar ) needless to say I didn’t even bother with the first paragraph –
But neither Obama ‘owning ‘ the Dept of justice ( feds ) and the vile Harmon running her star chamber don’t – I’m sure – get a mention .
There is no democracy in the UK – it’s just a word smokescreen used against us … nut nut wasn’t removed ‘by the people ‘ – it was by politicians …

I switched today back on at about 750am and some Greece £ politician € was spouting off about how Europe should encourage the third world in to fill gaps in unemployment- and how the coloured ‘ Muslim folk are an asset .
He went on and on – no interruption for maybe 2 minutes – then comrade Robinson thanked him – said he was an opposition politician and went to the weather ….
Evidence of BBC replacement support . It’s good there is a labour shortage – keeps pay up – and will lessen the effect of the coming recession/ labour depression …

Listening to Yanis Varoufakis on Today this morning it struck me why he is not representative of his compatriots, indeed why he can’t even seem to understand their hostile feelings about migrants.
The guy is very intelligent. He speaks foreign languages fluently. He is open to new experiences and comfortable in cosmopolitan environments. He is financially astute and has no problem earning a living even in hard times. In fact he is comfortably off. His natural human compassion for others never comes into conflict with his self-interest as it does with most of the rest of us who have to compete with immigrants for jobs and housing and basic services. Nor does the increasing number of immigrants threaten his sense of identity as it does the ordinary person whose identity is solely located in the traditional character of the local community.
Yanis, like most of the European intellectual and political class, are cut off from the feelings and attitudes of ordinary people by virtue of the security they acquire through their intelligence, sophistication and acumen. His type just cannot see that what they regard as xenophobia is simply an instinct for self-preservation amongst the ordinary native people of Greece and Europe as a whole.

I’m now, unusually often, experiencing, “Wrong Password/Passcode” to access regular sites I have hitherto had no difficulty in accessing. Then go through all the nonsense of changing passwords too often for my liking. The ‘Tech’ zealots want to trap you in a never ending cycle which demands an enormous amount of time devoted to, ‘putting things right’ and/or making access that much more difficult incrementally. Increasing time taken up for superfluous reasons is my idea.
Then, out of the blue, for perhaps many relief arrives, Angel Gabriel in the form of Google Chrome steps in to offer to manage the now increasingly taxing requirements of the internet and store all your passwords. Two + two = 4.
Amazing how ‘Nudge Units’ are evolving and their techniques.
Whatever happened to, “keep your password safe”?

I went through a gap of three months in my dealings with Ebay when I constantly entered a loop on signing in to Ebay. Never got in to my account. “Round and round the Mulberry Bush”. It went on and on and on. I confess to prefer to deal with Ebay over the likes of Amazon as I don’t see executives of Ebay becoming political and foisting their thoughts on me and the World. Anyway, I obtained the Registered Office address of Ebay UK and wrote to the principal Director listed. They all (including others) detest the written letter with a Certificate of Posting backing it up – without the recipient knowing the sender has a legal record. Anyway, not even the decency of an acknowledgement much less a reply.
It is satisfying to know that the tech companies believe they are so proficient. When, in fact, when things go wrong, they resort to shattering their image.

G, every now and then, a site, say eBay for example will accept my correct password but tell me it is wrong. It then asks me to re-enter the password. It may be a way of the site guarding against robots. Maybe our Stew can advise on that. In a similar way, if you make a string of contactless purchases by credit card, every so often the card company will ask you to enter your pin. Those manning checkouts have counted for regular customers and reckon that it is an entirely random thing.

That’s the exact moment when you forget your pin, Uppers!
I wanted to use my card to buy a car once, spending quite a lot of dosh and found I was totally blanked on my pin! It took ages on the phone to the bank, and my dealer was not best pleased either…
The same happens in Tesco occasionally, but at least I have a Nigerian Prince to help out after I ring him!

What’s the betting that some of the same Nottingham students who are currently hugging and weeping will be virtue signalling at the next demo against curbing immigration?
In fact, it’s already started. The BBC are keen to report that the mother of one of the victims urged crowds at a vigil to “hold no hate that relates to any colour, sex or religion.”
(Incidentally, do we really believe that such statements – after every ethnic or jihadi killing – are spontaneous? I don’t believe that’s the first thing that occurs to a grieving parent. Rather, I suspect some politician, police or BBC type has had a word in their ear.)

No, the statements are not spontaneous. On the contrary, they are carefully orchestrated by the government. Here is a link from the other day describing what goes on behind the scenes:
https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/mind-control-secret-british-government-blueprints-shaping-post-terror-planning
The sentiment “hold no hate that relates to any colour, sex or religion” is a fine one and most people would agree with that. But it could be appended with: “reserve your hate and anger for the politicians who have created and maintain this state of affairs. Always look back in anger at them, and never forget what they have done.”

In times of war or invasion, a little hate might not be such a bad thing.
