When it comes to passing laws have you noticed how one way they are.
The likes of Kahn when it comes to his LTN/ulez, Sunak with his scrapping petrol cars after 2030, 20 mph zones and seemingly all other controlling laws easily happen yet when it comes to things like getting the Brexit we voted for, controlling immigration and other things we actually want there always seem to be hundreds of reasons and objections stopping them happening.
It’s always one way.
They do what they want and do everything to stop what we want.
Emmanuel,,
That’s because wokists use empathy blackmail so you are an unfeeling twat if you object whereas common sense people use truth which is worth sweet FA to a lot of todays population.
It must of been a terribly hard decision for BIG BBROTHER
at the Diversity dept of the BBC to decide what the major
sports feature on the internet as I write this. Should it be the climax of the 5th test of the Ashes between England and Australia
for cis men(cricket) OR the netball match for cis women (i believe) between England and Tonga. The netball has been ruling
the roost some of the day. Earlier a live match on BBC TV
between something like Cape Verde Islands – Pitcairn
was the main feature. BUT I have to be fair right now TONGA
takes second place. Well done Big Brother,
When Israel raid Palestine terrorist havens and kill young men who are shooting at them, the BBC are very quick to plaster it over the front page (but don’t call them terrorists and don’t mention they were shooting at the Israelis).
But when those same religious nut-jobs squabble with each other in a refugee camp because Islam is riddled with different factions and in the name of their stone-age religion they murder 11 and wound over 40, you have to have eagle eyes to spot the report buried away from the main headlines.
Lebanon clashes: Thousands flee violence at Palestinian refugee camp
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-66354364
And surely the headline should be ’11 dead and 40 injured as rival Islamist groups clash in refugee camp’.
This is one of those odd ones where things don’t quite make sense – which is always a sign the BBC are covering it up. For example half way through we get ‘heavy fighting was again reported on Monday with gun and anti-tank fire echoing through the camp.’. What ?. Sounds like a bit more than a clash.
But of course the story must be played down as it’s not helpful to the pro-Muslim, antisemetic BBC agenda.
JohnC, had a temporary assistant in one of my jobs/’careers’ who was from Lebanon. Think he came from a suburb of Beirut, was from a nominally Christian family but spoke Yiddish. He grew up in a neighbourhood where Jews, Christians and Moslems lived next to each other, children of different faiths went to school together and were friends with each other.
Then came the Lebanese Civil War in 1975 and it all changed with about one million people including families leaving Lebanon.
The MSM reticence about the identity of the present fighting groups in Lebanon is pretty “off” imho.
The newsrooms know who the parties are and choose to withhold that information.
Farcical and wrong.

Interesting as it confirms what I’ve been told on other internet sites so it’s very likely true.
Basically Ukraine try to advance, have no chance to manouvre because of mine-fields then get gradually destroyed by artillery and aircraft.
None of this is reported by the BBC. Of all their distorted reporting, I would say this has been the most dishonest misrepresentation and cover-up I’ve ever seen. And that’s saying a lot when it’s the BBC and what we saw them do during the referendum.
It trashes any respect you might have for what they once were. Once you see just how far they are prepared to go to give you the ‘truth’ they want you to have, you realise you can never again trust a single thing they tell you. I might be true, it might be complete misinformation. They will do whichever suits them without a single journalistic ethic getting in the way.
We have won the Ashes, woo hoo! Well, a moral victory in that England would have probably won the Old Trafford Test but for the rain. A great final wicket to win it for Stuart Broad. Well done, England!
Reminds me of those occasions the BBC and its fellow travellers suddenly intone “only joking”.

I wonder how many people are alive today because of stop and search.
The police must have been responsible for saving lots of lives because someone carrying a knife was stopped before using it or perhaps they stopped carrying a knife in case they were caught with one.
My guess is there must be over 100 people alive now purely because of stop and search.
Yet, the lefties are against it because those doing the crime are more likely to be stopped and they then call it racist.
More to the point Emmanuel, how many people are now dead because the guy who stabbed them was not stopped and searched ?.
When the BBC report it, we get told black males are 7 times more likely to be stopped. They don’t tell us they are also 7 times more likely to be going to stab somebody.
All of that blood is on the hands of the Lefty activists and the BBC. But they are such stupendous hypocrites, they will never admit it – even to themselves.
JohnC, “They don’t tell us they are also 7 times more likely to be going to stab somebody.” and going to stab somebody who is also black!
Black Lives Don’t Matter when it comes to LeftLibbySocialists and the BBC and their views on Police Stop and Search powers.
Black Knives Matter.

BBC Test Match Special.
Commentary pair.
Sir Alastair Cook, ex England opening bat, captain, 12,000 runs.
And
Isa Guha, who crucially is female and non-white.
She did however play cricket, which obviously made her an ideal BBC presenter for…..errrr……Wimbledon!! ????
Equality, BBC style.
It is the most ridiculous nod to women’s lib/equality. Why are female presenters presenting and commentating a man’s game? I’ve noticed the opening credits/ title sequence to Test Match Special features female players. Just another bit of BBC woke nonsense.
Reposting this from letters page of DT. Something we long suspected but had no proof of was collusion between Coutts and Nat West Bank and the BBC. Well here is the link (from another writer) linking to George Soros and ‘Common Purpose’ back to the BBC.
What do you know about ‘The Octopus’ and Common Purpose and the part, it is alleged, they may have played in the activities of two ladies whose recent resignations have caused such a stir?
Read more in this intriguing article –
https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/dame-alison-rose-portrait-of-a-climate-and-diversity-fanatic/
In another letter following the above…..I read, that it had WEF stamped all over it, googled ‘ is there a link between common purpose and WEF’? got this…“The Data for Common Purpose Initiative was featured at the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting 2022 in Davos. A session on Strengthening Trust in Public-Private Data Exchanges and Building Responsible Data Ecosystems were held and broadcasted to stakeholders all over the world.” Scary indeed if true.
More revelations of the ‘usual suspects’ are on conservativewoman.co.uk. just reading that Alison Rose was clearly planted as a ‘Climate activist’ and I learn from other Business page postings that she was also a complete disaster at all her previous employments. You have to ask how much rot extends from the BBC? And why was she appointed? WEF, CC, DAVOS and links to the BBC. Well, well. All deniable by the BBC, of course!

22 dead by toxic religion … Police find more explosives in searches following Manchester bombing – Independent
By Reuters Staff
1 MIN READ
LONDON (Reuters) – Police and security services have found more explosives which could have been used in follow-up attacks to Monday’s bombing which killed 22 in Manchester, the Independent reported citing security sources.
The publication’s Thursday edition said one device had been blown up in a controlled explosion, and that security services were concerned that further bombs could have been created by a network intent on carrying out further attacks.

As an extra and relevant point further to Pug’s comment about Labour pumping massive amounts of money into the NHS.
It wasn’t just the NHS that they featherbedded. It was the whole public sector.
How can we know this? Because all the recent public sector strikes about pay, including the NHS, reference the relative decline since 2010. Why 2010? Because it was the high watermark of public sector pay courtesy of Labour largesse, while many of us in the private sector at that time endured 2 years of pay freeze post the banking crisis, as company solvency and cash flow was under great stress.
An inconvenient truth totally ignored by the biased, selective memory, BBC.

I wonder how many council schemes would’ve qualified for the “surcharge of councillors” treatment that Blair’s gubbermint removed from the legal controls on local government.
Locally Bath LibDem twerps have invested *borrowed* money in retail malls that by many accounts are failing badly.
Accountability is MIA
My hatred for local councils is only matched by Westminster – but for fools with huge amounts of public money to pee it into a fraud like that really pushes something else .
This must be happening all over the country to a less extreme extent …. So who regulates councils – and allows them to use taxpayers ‘ cash in this way ?
Have any councillors or officials been fired / done time ? Had their assets seized ?

9pm Stanley Johnson”Oh this debanking thing is nothing, it’s a campaign by rightists to destabilise the banks pro-freen ESG policies”
big Conspiracy Theory
nwxt “Net zero is the law we have to do it”
First published in 1982, Stanley Johnson’s The Virus is more than astonishingly prescient, with uncanny parallels to the current Covid-19 pandemic. It is also a fast-paced Cold War thriller that stands the test of time. Dr Lawrence Kaplan, one of the United States top epidemiologists, aided and abetted by the beautiful eco-warrior Stephanie Verusio, jets across the globe in a race to discover the secrets behind a deadly novel disease that threatens to wipe out half the world. A brilliant tale of geo-politics in the manner of Robert Ludlum. Funny, romantic, terrifying and totally relevant to today’s pandemic crisis, this is a dazzlingly deft page-turner.
About the Author
Stanley Johnson is an outspoken environmentalist, former MEP, and the author of 25 books including 12 non-fiction works on environmental topics, two volumes of memoir and 10 novels
Stanley Johnson “We, we, we signed up to NetZero”
Who is this “we” Stanley is speaking of ?
On Twitter no one supports him
He’s also backing the banks
‘This ESG is a good thing . It’s important banks stop supporting fossil fuels and only fund green energy’
At last.
Found a post with a bank link – even though what Boris’s dad says is complete testes.
Are the banks going on a charm offensive after the negative press recently perhaps?
Anyone else had anything similar from their bank ?
Here’s the clip which end with Stanley Johnson saying “We, we, we signed up to NetZero”
#WeFiles https://twitter.com/GBNEWS/status/1686129221226082304
Lying apparently, runs deep in the Johnson family
MARKY AT LEAST ATTRIBUTE YOUR COMMENTS ( so I don’t bother needing to read them the old stuff )
I’d just like to say for the record that I absolutely despise Stanley Johnson. He has the same buffoonish schtick as Boris, but he is mean to the bone. A truly vile man, and a wife beater to boot.
Rob
At least you can be consoled that the entitled father of a failed PM didn’t get the knighthood his son promised him . Even the venal corrupt honours system stopped at that – but the 29 year old boris babe still got a life peerage £££££££££……

All Boris’s worst qualities with none of his endearing ones.
The DT is reporting the evidence in the discipline proceedings of a very senior met plod – a commander no less – who wrote the Met drugs policy . … his sin. Alleged industrial level drug use. …
But surely – who better to write the drugs policy that a drugs user ? He could also give advice on the best kind of narcotics and their effects …
Perhaps instead of busting him – they should make him the next rank up – Drug Czar or chief constable of Liverpool …
The case continues
The Co-op scandal: drugs, sex, religion … and the humiliation of a movement
Revelations about the behaviour of former Co-op Bank chairman Paul Flowers are very bad news not just for the Methodist minister, but for mutual societies in general – as well as Labour
https://www.theguardian.com/business/2013/nov/23/coop-scandal-paul-flowers-mutual-societies
On 13 November an acquaintance of Flowers phoned the news desk of the Mail on Sunday offering a trove of information on the Methodist minister-turned-councillor-turned-banker. Four days later the paper published, under the eye-grabbing headline “Crystal Meth Shame of Bank Chief”, three pages of allegations, including incriminating text messages and video footage, reporting on purchases of Class A substances ranging from cocaine to ketamine and his hopes for a “drug-fuelled gay orgy”.
I went to see an evening with “Mr Nice” Howard Marks some years ago in a Bath club.

Carbon dioxide getting blamed, but was it water vapour all along..
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2023/07/what_nasa_and_the_european_space_agency_are_admitting_but_the_media_are_failing_to_report_about_our_current_heat_wave.html
“The current heat wave is being relentlessly blamed on increasing levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, but there is a much more plausible explanation, one that is virtually endorsed by two of the world’s leading scientific organizations. It turns out that levels of water vapor in the atmosphere have dramatically increased over the last year and a half, and water vapor is well recognized as a greenhouse gas, whose heightened presence leads to higher temperatures, a mechanism that dwarfs any effect CO2 may have.
So why has atmospheric water vapor increased so dramatically? Because of a historic, gigantic volcanic eruption last year that I — probably along with you — had never heard of. The mass media ignored it because it took place 490 feet underwater in the South Pacific. “

‘First English slave fort in Africa’ uncovered on Ghana’s coast
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-66359512
You just know 100% this is going to be a full-on agenda piece when you see that headline.
So I read through it and it’s your usual BBC attempt to steep it in empathy to make the story much more than it really is.
For example, what’s the point of this in a news article ?
‘A canopy protects the team and the site from the weather and despite the intense sun and the occasional shower, the archaeologists’ work continues.’
‘Ghana’s coastal fishing towns, known for their colourful boats and the melodies sung by the fishermen, remain scarred by a past of European exploitation and human cruelty.’
From THREE HUNDRED YEARS AGO ???. What absolute rubbish.
I went on holiday to Ghana once. I bet a lot of people have only been once. It has nothing whatsoever except a corrupt government and fishing. Far from ‘scarring it’, Europeans were giving it income to keep it going.
And I didn’t see any happy fishermen at all. We weren’t allowed out without a guide because we would be mugged. In a market, a woman was breastfeeding in her tent and when we walked by without buying anything, she started shouting at us in a very aggressive manner.
The BBC are absolutely out of control now. Their staff are all racist/sexist activists.
The author Favour Nanoo from his own LinkIn:
‘I form part of the BBC’s talented multimedia journalists in Africa working to expand the digital growth agenda’
Nearly right Mr Nanoo. But it’s ‘racist agenda’.

It seems that HS2 is the latest splurge of our taxes to get a few worthless gongs and lordships for the elite in Khanistan, plus huge contracts for their mates.
The whole shebang reminds me of the shenanigans around Concord, The Channel Tunnel and the Dome – all having billions of our money chucked at them regardless of value.
And in the background, slowly griniding out even more of our money, we have the ridiculous global warming fiasco, false news on fossil fuels and silly trash like air pollution manics charging £12.50 a day to get to work.
Luckily, with Beeboid’s TV taxpayers hemorrhaging at a very satisfying rate, we’ll eventually get a news broadcaster which will get up on its hind legs and start really supporting the Uk Inc.
I expect to see that in five years time, after Kow-Towler and Growler have trashed the country even more and we have to start again!
(I’ll be 81 then, so fingers crossed…)!
As it’s the first day of the month, two lucky winners will be getting a call from NAS&I to tell them that they have won a million folding pictures of KFC3!
I’d love to see the scenario, whereby a winner rings up Coutts, and tells them that he /she now has the required amount to open an account!
The Coutts flunky would then say, ‘This is good news Sir/Madam, may we have your name, address and details please’?
The winner could then say, ‘No, piss off’, and chuck the phone down…

ajs, “Maybe just maybe bbc, you are the ones out of touch with the public” and some of the MSM, also. Never has a more true word been spoken.
BBC = Out of touch, out of control, seriously out of order.
They’ve been on the wrong side of public opinion on major political issues for years now. But they don’t care. They think that ramming it down our throats will eventually make us think like they do.
Which is a compelling reason why that same public should not be forced to fund them.
The Dr Who admission about black people everywhere in history was a rare glimpse of truth when we were told ‘They know they are lying, but if it changes the present to be like they want then it’s justified.’. Many a Leftist ideological movement used similar excuses. Usually ending up with the extermination of those people when they DIDN’T change their views. Just ask Hitler, Pol Pot, Stalin etc etc.
JohnC: “They’ve been on the wrong side of public opinion on major political issues for years now. But they don’t care. They think that ramming it down our throats will eventually make us think like they do.”
“Which is a compelling reason why that same public should not be forced to fund them.”

The Mirror’s persistently pro-alarmist polemic headlines bag them second place in the BBC’s online press line-up, after the FT pips them to the post and wins the game – presumably for their cricket coverage: Special delivery Broad’s final ball before retirement secures victory over Australia – and not this vital slice of hold-the-front-page market data: The EU’s production of summer fruits fell 6.3% to 8.6mn tonnes last year. This drop was largely driven by a decline in the harvesting of watermelons and muskmelons, or canteloupes…
One takes a chance and types in the term ‘muskmelons‘ and the Google machine pre-empts a question: Are cantaloupe and muskmelon the same thing? The answer: While all cantaloupes are muskmelons, not all muskmelons are cantaloupes. (Healthline)

And the formerly Old Labour Mirror is now well and truly right-on and down with the kids: Just stop Sunak… Fury as PM allows more oil and gas wells… He caves in to big business & Tory MPs… Critics say it won’t help keep bills down
Setting aside the fury: “Life’s but a walking shadow; a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” (Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5)
Let’s attempt to parse those Mirror subheaders somewhat. One takes the Mirror’s point as to the former office boy at Goldman Sachs, green card Sunak’s, reflexive tendency to cave in to big business. But you can hardly blame our Swindon regional district manager for bending to the will of MPs of his own party.
“I didn’t get where I am today…” you’ll recall was the favoured line of Reggie Perrin’s boss at Sunshine Desserts, C.J.
Was Rishi parachuted into No10 for his tendency to please the likes of Caroline Lucas?
Margaret Thatcher
Remembered for her shortlived “green period” in the late 1980s when she helped put the climate crisis, acid rain and pollution on the political map.
Boris Johnson
Johnson made much of his green credentials. They were in his blood, he claimed. And during his time in office, he was credited for overseeing plans to phase out petrol and diesel cars
David Cameron
Posing with huskies in the Arctic remains one of the most eye-catching images of his rise to power. Shortly after his trip, he pledged that his administration would become the “greenest government ever”
Thank you the Guardian for all the above.
Back to the Mirror – Critics say it won’t help keep bills down – there’s another prime example of the left’s refusal to accept basic supply and demand economics. You know, like they won’t acknowledge our current state of hyper-immigration might just possibly have some modicum of an impact on the excess demand for housing.
Some people will never learn
The mother driven to despair by daughter’s refusal to go to school (Daily Mail)
Whereas the Telegraph – dare one claim – is apparently learning from Mr AsI’s work herabouts correcting media headlines utilising the terms pandemic and covid as the source of various of our present woes: Lockdown ‘harmed nearly half of children’ – bang on, bravo, journos Louisa Clarance-Smith and Blathnaid Corless – you nailed it: Lockdown damaged the emotional development of almost half of children a study has shown
Meanwhile, what’s the official inquiry been up to?
Covid Inquiry has spent nearly £40m after just 23 days of hearings… Figure only includes costs up to the end of June with lawyers handed more than £20m as critics voice concern at ‘enormous waste of money’ (Telegraph)
Covid Inquiry: What have we learnt so far? In total, 69 politicians, civil servants, scientists and other experts have been asked about the UK’s planning for a pandemic and the state of the healthcare system when Covid struck. (BBC)
Watch out, you might catch Covid… at the Covid Inquiry! Officials fear people attending its hearings could contract coronavirus, guidelines suggest… Document published last night urges ‘staff and visitors’ to take lateral flow test… People also told they can wear masks if they feel ‘more comfortable’ doing so (Daily Mail)
One does notice a few poor frightened souls still wearing masks about the streets.
But many residual mask-wearers are of Chinese appearance.
You can’t blame them – if you were a China émigré, would you want to be easily identified (dare one say tracked and traced) on the streets of Britain?
Chinese ‘secret police stations’: Everything we know… Beijing denies community centres on foreign soil being used to monitor and intimidate Chinese dissidents… investigations underway in at least 12 countries, including the UK, Canada, the Netherlands and Germany. (Independent)
UK has ‘no strategy’ to tackle China threat as spies ‘aggressively’ target Britain, scathing report warns (Independent)
On a lighter note: Yorkshire pudding deviants (Daily Star); An outrageous ‘Yorkshire pudding pizza’ now exists (Mirror); Brit supermarket chain Morrisons has sacked 1,500 middle managers – but fear not, they’ve also vomited out an unholy creation that is part pizza, part Yorkshire pudding. The 6½” thing is made by filling an oversized Yorkie Pud with tomato sauce, cheese and typical pizza toppings. (The Register) – Morrisons has sacked 1,500 middle managers – opportunities, opportunities, opportunities – perhaps after his spell seat-warming for Starmer, our Rishi Sunak won’t need that green card of his all. He’d fit well in the role of a Morrisons middle manager
How common is Jam with your Yorkshire Pudding? (Reddit)

Pops out another kid – you must stop having kids – but not those who lead the way – HA HA HA HA HA HA A
Can’t wait for the Wandsworth Wolfie version from the tribe at BBC Pidgen.
After they have dealt with the whites, a period of inter tribal shenanigans and then off to Calais for Lily and a BBC crew to tearfully follow to a Tottenham drug and machete refuge.
Wimmin and kids excepted.
David Lammy will love it.
One comment so far.
‘Dylan and Huw go down the Heath’ might be popular.
1984?
“A thoughtcrime is an Orwellian neologism used to describe an illegal thought. The term was popularized in the dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell, first published in 1949, wherein thoughtcrime is the criminal act of holding unspoken beliefs or doubts that oppose or question Ingsoc, the ruling party.”
BBc cock a hoop this a.m. that the floating hotel may not take any asylum seekers apparently due to fire certificate not being signed off.
Some woman representing the asylum seekers say 250 would be an acceptable number.
Strange, when the structure is designed for 506 guests……..
Mik the sceptic ,
Better use would be for local homeless and our own Veterans…..but that’s not the BBC way is it !
How many boatloads is that?

His listener getting a lot of value from Amol’s market rate.
GW,
Inter alia, they’re just trying hard to put a label on the ‘Home Working’ disaster the Government created during the, so-called, “Pandemic”. Last time I looked, most of the civil service refuses to return to their offices………….

MM,
Just think, most of the labourers seen (or their families) will be seeking Reparations decades from now………..
I found a very rare ‘satisfied’ customer of the BBC yesterday; a certain ‘Ruth from Oxfordshire’ got what she wanted, 45 mins later after this request on TMS at 7hr 46 min mark.

Well done England and well done ‘Goldenbails’ Broad.
I only wish ‘Aggers’ would not interview failed politicians like the intellectual giant David Lammy and with vitriolic ‘celebs’ like infamously Lily Allen, a sort of Carol Vorderman without the maths..!
Times like this you are reminded of Lineker picking up Megharry off Kerry’s offset Lear in his 6 litre Merc… ausgezeichnet peons!
Indulgences
In the teaching of the Catholic Church, an indulgence (Latin: indulgentia, from indulgeo, ‘permit’) is “a way to reduce the amount of punishment one has to undergo for sins”.[1] The Catechism of the Catholic Church describes an indulgence as “a remission before God of the temporal punishment due to sins whose guilt has already been forgiven, which the faithful Christian who is duly disposed gains under certain prescribed conditions through the action of the Church which, as the minister of redemption, dispenses and applies with authority the treasury of the satisfactions of Christ and all of the saints”.[2]

Anyone agree that our great British Weather confounds the weather forecasters almost every day ?
taffman ,
Eddy Booth put up a link earlier on the massive undersea South Pacific Volcanic eruption in 2022 that’s affected the Earths weather……..seems to have been almost completely ignored by the MSM
Greta to ban all Volcanic Activity ?
Charlie Farley
Ha !
Greta who?
When it rains it’s just wet weather, but when the sun comes out, it becomes an international climate catastrophe costing the planet trillions of pounds, or more likely giving even more of our taxes to the clever charlatans and weak politicians who shorted the industries years ago, and we’re all going to die!
Looking at his counter, Roger still howling at the nation’s wilderness as he did when hired by the bbc.
GW,
Let’s face it, this country, historically, has manifested itself to be a decision-making disaster with a major absence of common sense. No joined up thinking. Prime example: Bliar. ‘Let’s open the borders to millions of foreigners’. Did anyone predict that the millions would need housing? Did anyone predict the millions needed services (water, NHS etc)? Apparently, NO, nothing.
Did anyone hear the Minister for Transport, Richard Holden interview on Today earlier? He fumbled and flustered when asked where the power would come from to fuel the EV’s in 2030. ‘Here, Richard, I can help out with an answer’
It aint gonna happen. Bleat, bleat, “we’ve allocated £950 million (yes, the 6 figure million) for the infrastructure”.
Seems to me that apart from the absolute nonsense, lies and obfuscation, the Trillions of pounds really needed will be sprung on the taxpayer later down the road. Right now, its all to do with momentum which cannot be halted.
Anyone like a bit of reality, this time in the morning?
“Mark Mills: The energy transition delusion: inescapable mineral realities”
At least some people have looked at the predictions and are not afraid to comment.
“Electric cars are the future, but is the UK ready?”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-66222554
IMHO, No!
If they burst into flames when on transport ships , on charge and involved in accidents……then Definitely NO !
Something tells me that the Tories are thrashing about in a panic as the next GE is looming, trying every to lure their former supporters back to the party .
Now, here is an idea , “Stop the boats” and deport illegals ?
Any one agree ?
What I don’t understand is why Border Farce and RNLI Taxi Service continually picks them up every day……how do they sleep at night betraying this once Great Britain and all those that gave their Lives to keep us Free ! ….Sickening
Charlie Farley
Britain is still Great but the woke idiots in Parliament aren’t.
And we are still not given any numbers on how many are drowning in a year! which belies the continued assertion that “they are risking their lives…..”. Bo….cks!
TOADY Watch #1 – Brissles, my dear old thing, this is for you as we have won the Ashes in a moral victory
Report on the News @ 6 a.m. this morning that it is reckoned that thousands are leaving Pakistan and trying to make the hazardous(!) journey to the UK. Three hundred Pakistanis may have drowned after the boat they were on sank in Greek waters.

Their advisors have finally realised the slaughter they are going to achieve next year . I don’t think they can even buy votes now .
I’m trying to think of a single achievement in their time . I won’t include brexit because that hasn’t happened and they are all in position to ‘badge up ‘ again – dump the pound and any remaining national identity and dance to the kraut tune
Their woke SPAD’s without any common sense and life skills have got a lot to answer for .
The answer will becoming in about 12 months time -those months will be spent plotting to get new lucrative jobs in the likes of the BBC
Image of suspect released after girl, 12, robbed at knifepoint
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-66362709
Here he is:
So why has it taken 3 weeks for them to release this picture ?.
This two or three week delay before identifying something they knew early on and it just happens to be ‘enrichment’ happens far too regularly for it to be coincidence. And it’s not just the BBC doing the cover-up : the met are just as bad.
Why? Well, likely they were hoping he was arrested before the need to publish a photo.
