Suella Braverman is a committed Brexiteer and like Kemi Badenoch, she knows that the Conservatives have most of the print press against them, Whitehall against them, the BBC/C4 and possibly ITV against them, Carrie Antoinette against them, various sports people against them, over half the NHS against them, ‘the establishment’ against them, some Conservative MPs against them and the Parliamentary Labour Party against them.
Effectively the Conservatives in Government have been fighting with both hands tied behind their backs since June 2016 and that is why David Cameron quit as PM.
The worst lot are the Beebonic Plague, who are incessant with their anti-government shrieks and disgraceful bias towards Labour and even The Limp-Dems when they ever say anything more than, “ug”!
It has to be the case that this intentional, tedious smearing of Conservatism by the elitist-drones in W1AA must have a deleterious effect on normal people who really want them to do what they’re paid to do which is entertain and inform, not parade pompous gits like Robinson and Linker around as if they’re saints who know everything about what’s wrong, but never consider that there will always be a way back with the right people in charge. Their negativity is a disgrace, especially as scared citizens still have to pay for their rubbish.
I like Suella, she’s got more guts than most of them up there, and I hope she does pitch for the PM slot, because I’d vote for her!
2012 … “Two and a half years ago, the coalition government was formed, and we made a clear promise to the British public. After thirteen years of uncontrolled mass immigration, this government would reduce and control immigration.” – Theresa May 2012
2015 … “Because when immigration is too high (no figure given), when the pace of change is too fast, it’s impossible to build a cohesive society.” – Theresa May 2015
2018 … “Over the years, overall, immigration has been good for the UK. It has brought people with different backgrounds, different outlooks here to the UK,” – Theresa May 2018
She is a politician – paid to say what you need to hear for a vote – Cameron – I WILL BACK THE PEOPLES DECISION – Quits and gets contracts in China.

“I do not believe that the solution to our problem is simply to elect the right people. The important thing is to establish a political climate of opinion which will make it politically profitable for the wrong people to do the right thing. Unless it is politically profitable for the wrong people to do the right thing, the right people will not do the right thing either, or it they try, they will shortly be out of office.”
― Milton Friedman
As so may shirky councils are considering letting their ‘workers’ get away with only four days a week, can we agree that the Beebolics also do the same, so for three days, we can all have some decent broadcasting from some proper journalists who cover the whole spectrum of Britishness?
That would reduce the TV tax burden straight away, and I suggest that they also don’t do Saturdays, so the ghastly Linker bloke and his awful mates don’t get a look in as well!
Sundays can be used for true British devotional programmes, and any foreign religions can get their own stuff from whichever place they come from!

Dear Mr H,
Thank you for contacting me and sharing your views.

The Government is strongly committed to Sizewell C and securing the UK’s energy security through delivering new nuclear power.
Professor of Oncology at St George’s Hospital Medical School, London: “At the end of last year I reported that I was seeing melanoma patients who had been stable for years relapse after their first booster (their third injection). I was told it was merely a coincidence and to keep quiet about it, but it became impossible to do so. The number of my patients affected has been rising ever since. I saw two more cases of cancer relapse post booster vaccination in my patients just this last week.
Other oncologists have contacted me from all over the world including from Australia and the US. The consensus is that it is no longer confined to melanoma but that increased incidence of lymphomas, leukaemias and kidney cancers is being seen after booster injections. Additionally my colorectal cancer colleagues report an epidemic of explosive cancers (those presenting with multiple metastatic spread in the liver and elsewhere). All these cancers are occurring (with very few exceptions) in patients who have been forced to have a Covid booster whether they were keen or not, for many so they could travel.
So why are these cancers occurring? T cell suppression was my first likely explanation given that immunotherapy is so effective in these cancers. However we must also now consider DNA plasmid and SV40 integration in promoting cancer development, a feature made even more concerning by reports that mRNA spike protein binds p53 and other cancer suppressor genes. It is very clear and very frightening that these vaccines have several elements to cause a perfect storm in cancer development in those patients lucky enough to have avoided heart attacks, clots, strokes, autoimmune diseases and other common adverse reactions to the Covid vaccines.
To advise booster vaccines, as is the current case, is no more and no less than medical incompetence; to continue to do so with the above information is medical negligence which can carry a custodial sentence.
No ifs or buts any longer. All mRNA vaccines must be halted and banned now.” Angus Dalgleish

As all this information slowly emerges, you can only conclude the Pharma conspiracy was founded upon Government instruction to, ‘Kill off as many of the population as you can, particularly the old ones’.
Notice how the MSM are still gatekeeping both coronavirus and vaccine information.
I’m more inclined to Hanlon’s razor being a large factor – with much energy devoted to cover-up of stupidity or worse.
That said, my cynicism on the early vaccine was rooted in knowledge about RNA virus mutation rates, pharma fails like Tamiflu and massive underreporting of quite severe seasonal flus going back decades.
The present suppression campaign is imho in no small part down to the intoxicating delights of wielding power over people.
No one in the public space is denying the present anomalous mortality stats or the increased reporting of obvious+diverse undesirable “vaccine” side effects – they are very simply refusing to discuss it – big style.
The BBC fielding naïve, low information dishonest attack dimwits like Rachael Schraer only really serves to irritate.
In tweeting about the new role, the reporter added that it would “hopefully help you through the thicket of weaponised stats, charts and scientific papers that get chucked out there to confuse, by people who want to push an agenda, gain influence or even make money.”
Rachael is correct but is so dim as to not realise her real role ?
Remember how the BBC was filled with outrage and shedding hot tears over the ‘cages’ along the southern US border? All Trump’s fault – boo!
Well, it’s got a whole lot worse under Biden but the lying media are nowhere to be seen, as the indefatigable Ted Cruz points out.
One of many consequences of Democrat policy is child labour for boys and sex slavery for girls. And the destruction of whole cities – as even the Democrat mayor of NY admits – and whole states due to crime and drugs.
And zilch from the rotten BBC. The evil media even tried to kill The Sound of Freedom which exposes the trafficking.
All to protect the rotten, criminal, incompetent, senile old fool in the White House, and to keep Trump out.
One point that the Republicans haven’t yet cottoned on to is that the Sinaloa cartel which owns the Mexican government have been buying NATO weaponry on the black market from Ukraine, and when any attempt is made to close that border those weapons are going to come into use and American border patrol & contractors are going to die.
Worse still is the distinct possibility that Russia will directly arm Sinaloa and the US will be faced with a proxy war of the kind it visited on Russia on its own doorstep, only it’s going to be worse because not only have Sinaloa managed to have their people in every major US city, they also have illegals who they have smuggled across who owe money and will carry out terrorists acts to pay that off.
Biden has destroyed America, and the propagandists tell you it’s kindness.
“Being a decades-old and very successful criminal group, the Sinaloa Cartel’s self-presentation is one of buttoned-down criminals whose oppressive rule comes with predictability and some level of moderation. Indeed, a key hallmark of the Sinaloa Cartel has been a rather careful calibration of violence that imposes its domination in a form to which local politicians, businesses, and people can develop predictable coping mechanisms. In contrast to CJNG, the Sinaloa Cartel keeps a lower, behind-the-scenes profile, one of “polite extortionists who bring in order, who are civilized criminals, who don’t just drag in violence for the sake of violence,” as a businessman in Baja California Sur whom I interviewed phrased it.”
“Most of the big hotels in Cabo [San Lucas] pay Sinaloa. But it’s much better than before [2015-2018] when CJNG was fighting Sinaloa over the control of Baja Sur. The payments now are very predictable and the collectors [from the Sinaloa Cartel] polite and calm. It’s very civilized dealing with them. And you don’t have to pay once a week and crazy sums, just every few months at a reasonable rate”
A colleague of mine moved from Houston, TX to Cartagena, Columbia and declared that Pablo Escobar’s control resulted in a better deal for the locals than was the case for Houston.
It’s only exchanging one mafia for another – the ones who pretend to be democratic and ‘care for the people ‘ are morally worse than pharmaceutical merchants in my view – at least the drug dealers are self financing from sales of their product rather than being a parasite of taxpayers ( 77 brigade to note )
Maybe it is like comparing the real mafia with a corporate mafia. The real mafia is run efficiently as anyone swinging the lead gets slotted.
The corporate mafia has lots of inefficiencies and so has to steal more money from the public. For instance there is the pure theatre of a parliament and the cost of sham elections. Then there are all the hairdressers you have to employ and pamper them with assistants and security guards and free travel and pensions and free housing and working from home and wasteful technology etc.
Real mafia rarely make it to pension age. The real mafia would never pay for daft things e.g. illegals to enter our country.
So my guess is that paying the real mafia is cheaper for all these reasons.

Do you wonder why some pieces of ‘news’ allow comments and others don’t ? Today is a good example . A RC church roof in Mexico collapsed on Sunday during communion and killed at least 8 people ( RIP) … so the Daily Telegraph allowed comments .
Can you guess the nature of those comments ? The devil is alive and well – certainly in the Godless DT editorial staff …
Yet other subjects … you can predict absense of a comments section ..( I really don’t bother looking most of the time because too much crap is typed and very few comments of sanity laid down ) and never the BBC ..

Next week we have the yearly BBC love in with the Red Labour Party – who can promise to kill the most ‘Tory scum ‘? Will it be the loopy thick abbot or that loopy thick ginger girl ?
While the pretty, young, black schoolgirl from the well-to-family was being hacked to death by another enrichment, Max Moy Wheatley (who is white) was stabbed and murdered by two others (who are not white) and now they have been charged with murder.
But for some reason, the BBC haven’t even reported it. I wonder why ?.
Here they are:
These Leftist scumbags don’t actually care one bit about who murders who. They are only interested if they can use it to virtue-signal and push their agenda.
All we have to do is think what the response would be if this was a black victim with two white assailants. Can you imagine?
Diane Abbott wouldn’t be off our screens. There would be tear jerking interviews with Baroness Lawrence, mother of the murdered Stephen, by white racists over thirty years ago. There would be the inevitable accusations of institutional racism and we’d be told that it is still dangerous on our streets for young black men.
BLM would “protest” in Parliament Square, our pathetic police would be grovelling on their knees and they’d allow some of these thugs to desecrate the Cenotaph.
As it stands, the victim is a young white lad, as usual the killers are black and the media don’t give a flying xxxx.
They say sugar is bad for our health. Then they tell us about: The health fears in artificial sweeteners (FT)

British exporters? Just in case you thought we were still actually manufacturing anything here in the UK (that anyone overseas might want to buy from us) – let the FT explain your school boy mistake – in the words of one Marcus Ferdinand, chief analytics officer at carbon consultancy Veyt: “UK windfarms that had planned to send a lot of what they generate to the EU on very windy days could find themselves priced out of the market”
Round like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning on an ever spinning reel
Like a snowball down a mountain, or a carnival balloon
Like a carousel that’s turning running rings around the moon
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an apple whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find in the windmills of your mind!
– music by French composer Michel Legrand and English lyrics written by Americans Alan and Marilyn Bergman as introduced in the film The Thomas Crown Affair (1968)
Bill predicted at hundreds of millions… Treasury set lose revenue… Emissions price collapses… “UK wind farms… could find themselves priced out of the [EU] market” Adam Berman, Energy UK (FT)
Says who? Well, so says Veyt (Norwegian-based consultancy with a global team of experts, we provide objective and forward-looking analysis for all significant low carbon markets – and UK Energy (The voice of the energy industry. We are the trade association for the UK energy industry with over 100 members covering the breadth of the sector including suppliers, generators, aggregators, flexibility providers, electric vehicle charging operators and software companies. We work with the sector, government, regulators and wider stakeholders to champion a sustainable UK energy industry.)
Check out their websites. You’ll be amazed how many repetitive references they make to the pet buzz words like Sustainability, Carbon Free and Net Zero. And note the rather scant reference to the interests of energy customers in obtaining reliable energy at low prices. It’s all about fixing and regulating the market in their commercial interests.

This title is the “New York Times” bestseller – now in paperback.

He gives us the brutal facts on these threats and why there is no choice but for America to fight for the cause of freedom – alone.
Funny, but there is no Islamic terrorism when Russia or China goes to those countries, it just appears to evaporate, however you can bet your bottom Dollar that if it does arise, those two will deal with it far more effectively than the corrupt USA will

Hello up2
Being ‘today / r4 free’ I only comment generally and wonder how the BBC is going to behave once the Red Labour lot take over next year .
The ‘blame the tories ‘ narrative will survive the first 2 or 3 years but after that ? Will they ever say that the red policies are not so different from the blue ones … bit like the ‘in the loop ‘ thing where you can’t tell the difference between one set of loops and the other ….
I can only imagine that the drive for the licence to be subsumed into general taxation- which might appear ‘popular’ but is a death sentence for any reform
Otherwise there will be demand for further left policies and even more spending of other peoples’ borrowed money …
The scummy SNP have used that ‘blame the Tories’ very successfully here in Scotland for the last 14 years. Whether it’s natural Tory hatred, or the low IQ portion of the population, but they still appear to trust a Pakistani chancer of low intellect with no discernible skills.
There is no smoking-gun evidence demonstrating that Live Aid achieved nothing, or only did harm. But there is ample reason to conclude that Live Aid did harm as well as good. It is also arguable that Live Aid may have done more harm than good.
…..
Live Aid eventually raised $127 million in famine relief for African nations, and the publicity it generated encouraged Western nations to make available enough surplus grain to end the immediate hunger crisis in Africa. Geldof was later knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for his efforts.24 Nov 2009
…………….
One night at dinner in late 1985, a friend talked about Ethiopia being in a civil war. Neither I nor anyone else at the table had heard that. It hadn’t been covered in the American press. This was just six months after the Live Aid concerts in Philadelphia and London had directly and indirectly raised over $100 million dollars for famine relief in the African nation. The next day I asked my sister Nina, an assistant at SPIN then, to research this, because if the country was at war, it would surely be difficult to move aid around and get it to people who needed it.
In those days we didn’t have the Internet, so research was done by going to the library and trawling through endless spools of microfiche — film of newspaper pages from around the world. That evening she came into my office ashen faced — she had discovered it was clear, and very well evidenced, that this famine, the awful depictions of which had pulled on the world’s heartstrings, was man made, by government planes deliberately napalming rebel farms. https://www.spin.com/2015/07/live-aid-the-terrible-truth-ethiopia-bob-geldof-feature/

In the midst of this dismal verbiage and euphemism, the plain statement—”There’s one law for everybody and that’s all there is to be said”—still stands out like a diamond in a dunghill. It stands out precisely because it is said simply, and because its essential grandeur is intelligible to everybody. Its principles ought to be just as intelligible and accessible to those who don’t yet speak English, in just the same way as the great Lord Mansfield once ruled that, wherever someone might have been born, and whatever he had been through, he could not be subject to slavery once he had set foot on English soil.

Thanks Markh for reporting this. It is how the BBC distorts the education of children that needs to be highlighted and challenged more than anything else.
In Sep 2020 -Stormzy’s latest single from his new album which was a tribute to Black Lives Matter and that black actor who played Black Panther who had recently died, got promoted in schools .
The BBC was glad to report Stormzy has some sort of deal where the video for this Black Lives Matter tribute was played in school classrooms across the UK and Ireland as part of a BLM Diversity awareness program:
The video had been shown in classrooms in London, Dublin , Glasgow and Manchester. .

Some might say that being chief executive of Ofcom – state censorship organisation mainly staffed by BBC has beens – is not a good qualification for running a large retail organisation.
Some might say that a total absence of commerical experience was not a good qualification, either.
Some might say that working in Downing Street during the Blair regime, or at the World Bank, or as director general at the Department for International Development, are qualifications for precisely nothing in the real world.
Unfortunately, these are the sort of people who are running/ruining Britain.
What utter tripe. The article tries hard to big up “crossing the Alps on foot”, making it sound like a Scott of the Antarctic venture or they are scaling the North face of the Eiger. The fact is that they are crossing the low Alps which barely rates as a hike up Snowdon. Sure, the weather can turn bad up any hill and people unused to the hills can suffer but it’s hardly worth the empathy.

DEADLY STUNT YouTuber shatters skull jumping off 100ft bridge with no bungee after posting ‘there’s no fun in living a normal life’

As some might remember there is a project , sponsored and developed by some villagers, to erect a large wind turbine near to our village . There have been a couple of recent meetings about it and I attended one of them.
The local ‘worthies’ had brought along a professional climate emergency speaker complete with an all singing all dancing presentation. He took the floor and held forth for an hour. The basic message was that massive detrimental climate change is inevitable over the next thirty years but that provided vigorous and rigorous action is taken immediately to reduce CO2 emissions even greater damage can be avoided in the second half of this century.
His presentation was full of scary pictures , fires, floods , droughts , famine , melting glaciers , rising sea levels etc . Young mothers were shielding their infants ears and eyes so they wouldn’t know the terrible fate which inevitably awaited them in adulthood.
David Attenborough was invoked as a holy man , a prophet, the IPCC was referred to the only true source which all scientists agreed with. I don’t watch the BBC but I assume that this is the sort of stuff they spew forth non stop.
It was like a revivalist meeting where the preacher threatens the congregation with hell fire and eternal damnation.
I pointed out one or two of the many errors ,inconsistencies and exaggeration in the presentation but it was like trying to stop a tank with a pea shooter.
What was so depressing was not the error strewn presentation itself but the way it was unquestionably lapped up by the audience of my fellow villages. Years of conditioning has done its work , perhaps even to the point where they are willing to make huge personal sacrifices to the Climate Gods!
It certainly hasn’t conditioned me, DT! I’ve seen the big con coming for ages now, and all I do is see who’s ‘following the money’!
I think it goes back to the awful Bliar years, when he started the rot, then scampered away and let the idiot Brown do the nasty stuff, both to the British population, and to private business in general, and I’ll never forgive him for that.
Climate change is the socialist way to thieve money from the gullible – the Beebolics adore it all, but that’s the civil service for you!
I don’t want to reveal my name and village . Anonymity is protection. A mob of mothers fighting on behalf of their children is a force to be reckoned with!
Diversity monster and wrecker of the once lovely department store John Lewis has announced she will step down from her Tory appointed position in 2025 by which time the store will be completely unsavable with her having spent untold millions on useless diversity training for staff which has not generated a single penny in income for the company.

I’ve read the BBC article on Black Hysteria Month. It repeats the usual lies, including the discredited Cheddar Man fantasy. No reference to Britain’s role in ending slavery throughout the world. The BBC is taking comments, but at the time of writing, more that 2 hours after the article appeared, only 1 has been posted. And that’s been removed – guess it wasn’t too positive.
The BBC are wetting their panties again -this time because Trump is in court.
This alone sums it up for me:
‘The group of news organisations has argued in a letter to the judge that if there’s ever a case where arguments should be broadcast live, it’s this one: “The need for the broadest possible public access cannot be overstated. Quite literally, the world is watching these proceedings.”’
Then later we get:
‘Justice Arthur Engoron has just walked into the room and has taken his seat.
The first item the court is dealing with is whether cameras should be allowed in the courtroom today.
Engoron says he has to deny the request.’
The Judge is a Democrat.
The charge is brought by the first black woman New York Attorney General:
‘Letitia Ann James is an American lawyer and politician. She is a member of the Democratic Party.’
What a surprise. It’s a complete farce.
Stand by for the BBC to report every bad thing anybody says about Trump. That’s what their ‘Live Update’ feature is for.
Next we have the ‘election fraud’ where the judge Tanya Chutkan is another Democrat black woman who was appointed by Obama.
Justice Arthur Engoron has clearly set out, in collusion with the NY AG to nettle and provoke DJT via whatever powers the pair of them can arbitrarily abuse and he’s wallowing in his new found prominence + smirking at the media…
Engoron already said publically that Trump’s guilty and said no jury – he will decide.
A lot of commentators , even lefty ones, think this lawfare against Trump is increasing his support as the American public see it as grossly unfair and hypocritical.
Perhaps the Dems know that they have a series of insurance policies which guarantee them victory in the GE and so don’t care if these show trials drive voters to Trump. They are doing them to show anyone else who wants to follow the Trump MAGA agenda in future years what they can expect to happen to them if they do.
My Grandsons primary school have a montage of flags on the wall.
When he mentioned the Union (Jack) Flag was upside down his teacher said “it didn’t really matter”
Al,
My local council had a couple of Diamond* Jubilee flags flying last year, with a crown and some words centred over a Union Jack. Unfortunately they were printed the wrong way up, so the Union Jack part had to be flown upside down.
She probably hadn’t clue anyway. I despair sometimes at the level of intelligence that our esteemed teachers possess.
On one occasion my conversation with a teacher was of christmas presents received decades ago. I mentioned I always had “annuals” regularly every year. I was then asked by said teacher (in their late 20s) what an annual was. I just pursed my lips and rolled my eyes with a look of “really ?” on my face.

You are right, Nibor, and MM is wrong.
Suella Braverman is a committed Brexiteer and like Kemi Badenoch, she knows that the Conservatives have most of the print press against them, Whitehall against them, the BBC/C4 and possibly ITV against them, Carrie Antoinette against them, various sports people against them, over half the NHS against them, ‘the establishment’ against them, some Conservative MPs against them and the Parliamentary Labour Party against them.
Effectively the Conservatives in Government have been fighting with both hands tied behind their backs since June 2016 and that is why David Cameron quit as PM.

The worst lot are the Beebonic Plague, who are incessant with their anti-government shrieks and disgraceful bias towards Labour and even The Limp-Dems when they ever say anything more than, “ug”!
It has to be the case that this intentional, tedious smearing of Conservatism by the elitist-drones in W1AA must have a deleterious effect on normal people who really want them to do what they’re paid to do which is entertain and inform, not parade pompous gits like Robinson and Linker around as if they’re saints who know everything about what’s wrong, but never consider that there will always be a way back with the right people in charge. Their negativity is a disgrace, especially as scared citizens still have to pay for their rubbish.
I like Suella, she’s got more guts than most of them up there, and I hope she does pitch for the PM slot, because I’d vote for her!

As so may shirky councils are considering letting their ‘workers’ get away with only four days a week, can we agree that the Beebolics also do the same, so for three days, we can all have some decent broadcasting from some proper journalists who cover the whole spectrum of Britishness?
That would reduce the TV tax burden straight away, and I suggest that they also don’t do Saturdays, so the ghastly Linker bloke and his awful mates don’t get a look in as well!
Sundays can be used for true British devotional programmes, and any foreign religions can get their own stuff from whichever place they come from!

Notice how the MSM are still gatekeeping both coronavirus and vaccine information.
I’m more inclined to Hanlon’s razor being a large factor – with much energy devoted to cover-up of stupidity or worse.
That said, my cynicism on the early vaccine was rooted in knowledge about RNA virus mutation rates, pharma fails like Tamiflu and massive underreporting of quite severe seasonal flus going back decades.
The present suppression campaign is imho in no small part down to the intoxicating delights of wielding power over people.
No one in the public space is denying the present anomalous mortality stats or the increased reporting of obvious+diverse undesirable “vaccine” side effects – they are very simply refusing to discuss it – big style.
The BBC fielding naïve, low information dishonest attack dimwits like Rachael Schraer only really serves to irritate.

Remember how the BBC was filled with outrage and shedding hot tears over the ‘cages’ along the southern US border? All Trump’s fault – boo!
Well, it’s got a whole lot worse under Biden but the lying media are nowhere to be seen, as the indefatigable Ted Cruz points out.
One of many consequences of Democrat policy is child labour for boys and sex slavery for girls. And the destruction of whole cities – as even the Democrat mayor of NY admits – and whole states due to crime and drugs.
And zilch from the rotten BBC. The evil media even tried to kill The Sound of Freedom which exposes the trafficking.
All to protect the rotten, criminal, incompetent, senile old fool in the White House, and to keep Trump out.
Defund the BBC, now.

One point that the Republicans haven’t yet cottoned on to is that the Sinaloa cartel which owns the Mexican government have been buying NATO weaponry on the black market from Ukraine, and when any attempt is made to close that border those weapons are going to come into use and American border patrol & contractors are going to die.
Worse still is the distinct possibility that Russia will directly arm Sinaloa and the US will be faced with a proxy war of the kind it visited on Russia on its own doorstep, only it’s going to be worse because not only have Sinaloa managed to have their people in every major US city, they also have illegals who they have smuggled across who owe money and will carry out terrorists acts to pay that off.
Biden has destroyed America, and the propagandists tell you it’s kindness.

“Being a decades-old and very successful criminal group, the Sinaloa Cartel’s self-presentation is one of buttoned-down criminals whose oppressive rule comes with predictability and some level of moderation. Indeed, a key hallmark of the Sinaloa Cartel has been a rather careful calibration of violence that imposes its domination in a form to which local politicians, businesses, and people can develop predictable coping mechanisms. In contrast to CJNG, the Sinaloa Cartel keeps a lower, behind-the-scenes profile, one of “polite extortionists who bring in order, who are civilized criminals, who don’t just drag in violence for the sake of violence,” as a businessman in Baja California Sur whom I interviewed phrased it.”
https://www.brookings.edu/articles/how-the-sinaloa-cartel-rules/
“Most of the big hotels in Cabo [San Lucas] pay Sinaloa. But it’s much better than before [2015-2018] when CJNG was fighting Sinaloa over the control of Baja Sur. The payments now are very predictable and the collectors [from the Sinaloa Cartel] polite and calm. It’s very civilized dealing with them. And you don’t have to pay once a week and crazy sums, just every few months at a reasonable rate”

It’s only exchanging one mafia for another – the ones who pretend to be democratic and ‘care for the people ‘ are morally worse than pharmaceutical merchants in my view – at least the drug dealers are self financing from sales of their product rather than being a parasite of taxpayers ( 77 brigade to note )

Maybe it is like comparing the real mafia with a corporate mafia. The real mafia is run efficiently as anyone swinging the lead gets slotted.
The corporate mafia has lots of inefficiencies and so has to steal more money from the public. For instance there is the pure theatre of a parliament and the cost of sham elections. Then there are all the hairdressers you have to employ and pamper them with assistants and security guards and free travel and pensions and free housing and working from home and wasteful technology etc.
Real mafia rarely make it to pension age. The real mafia would never pay for daft things e.g. illegals to enter our country.
So my guess is that paying the real mafia is cheaper for all these reasons.

While the pretty, young, black schoolgirl from the well-to-family was being hacked to death by another enrichment, Max Moy Wheatley (who is white) was stabbed and murdered by two others (who are not white) and now they have been charged with murder.
But for some reason, the BBC haven’t even reported it. I wonder why ?.
Here they are:

All we have to do is think what the response would be if this was a black victim with two white assailants. Can you imagine?
Diane Abbott wouldn’t be off our screens. There would be tear jerking interviews with Baroness Lawrence, mother of the murdered Stephen, by white racists over thirty years ago. There would be the inevitable accusations of institutional racism and we’d be told that it is still dangerous on our streets for young black men.
BLM would “protest” in Parliament Square, our pathetic police would be grovelling on their knees and they’d allow some of these thugs to desecrate the Cenotaph.
As it stands, the victim is a young white lad, as usual the killers are black and the media don’t give a flying xxxx.
And that’s the truth…

But we were advised to take the artificial sweeteners to avoid the deadly sugar. What does that put you in mind of? Cough cough.
The term Crony Capitalism refers to a situation in which corporations profit from a close relationship with State power, either through an anti-competitive regulatory environment, government largesse, and/or direct corruption.

Exporters face hefty EU carbon tax after Sunak weakens climate policies – whines the FT.
British exporters? Just in case you thought we were still actually manufacturing anything here in the UK (that anyone overseas might want to buy from us) – let the FT explain your school boy mistake – in the words of one Marcus Ferdinand, chief analytics officer at carbon consultancy Veyt: “UK windfarms that had planned to send a lot of what they generate to the EU on very windy days could find themselves priced out of the market”
Round like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning on an ever spinning reel
Like a snowball down a mountain, or a carnival balloon
Like a carousel that’s turning running rings around the moon
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an apple whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find in the windmills of your mind!
– music by French composer Michel Legrand and English lyrics written by Americans Alan and Marilyn Bergman as introduced in the film The Thomas Crown Affair (1968)
Bill predicted at hundreds of millions… Treasury set lose revenue… Emissions price collapses… “UK wind farms… could find themselves priced out of the [EU] market” Adam Berman, Energy UK (FT)
Says who? Well, so says Veyt (Norwegian-based consultancy with a global team of experts, we provide objective and forward-looking analysis for all significant low carbon markets – and UK Energy (The voice of the energy industry. We are the trade association for the UK energy industry with over 100 members covering the breadth of the sector including suppliers, generators, aggregators, flexibility providers, electric vehicle charging operators and software companies. We work with the sector, government, regulators and wider stakeholders to champion a sustainable UK energy industry.)
Check out their websites. You’ll be amazed how many repetitive references they make to the pet buzz words like Sustainability, Carbon Free and Net Zero. And note the rather scant reference to the interests of energy customers in obtaining reliable energy at low prices. It’s all about fixing and regulating the market in their commercial interests.

I do wonder if the decision not to offer tax paid flu jabs to – say – the over 60s is one of those schemes to see how many they can blame flu for killing as opposed to the Chinese virus jabs ( I won’t call them vaccines ) .
I saw that the flu in the southern hemisphere hasn’t been very nice so maybe they want more ‘vulnerable ‘ people finished off in the next few months .
It does seem strange doesn’t it – every year there is a campaign for the flu jab – but 2023 sees – zip – I can’t even buy one yet ….

The ‘blame the tories ‘ narrative will survive the first 2 or 3 years but after that ? Will they ever say that the red policies are not so different from the blue ones … bit like the ‘in the loop ‘ thing where you can’t tell the difference between one set of loops and the other ….
I can only imagine that the drive for the licence to be subsumed into general taxation- which might appear ‘popular’ but is a death sentence for any reform
Otherwise there will be demand for further left policies and even more spending of other peoples’ borrowed money …

Live Aid concert to be turned into stage musical
Published
9 hours ago
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-66948358
……………………………..
There is no smoking-gun evidence demonstrating that Live Aid achieved nothing, or only did harm. But there is ample reason to conclude that Live Aid did harm as well as good. It is also arguable that Live Aid may have done more harm than good.
…..
Live Aid eventually raised $127 million in famine relief for African nations, and the publicity it generated encouraged Western nations to make available enough surplus grain to end the immediate hunger crisis in Africa. Geldof was later knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for his efforts.24 Nov 2009
…………….
One night at dinner in late 1985, a friend talked about Ethiopia being in a civil war. Neither I nor anyone else at the table had heard that. It hadn’t been covered in the American press. This was just six months after the Live Aid concerts in Philadelphia and London had directly and indirectly raised over $100 million dollars for famine relief in the African nation. The next day I asked my sister Nina, an assistant at SPIN then, to research this, because if the country was at war, it would surely be difficult to move aid around and get it to people who needed it.
In those days we didn’t have the Internet, so research was done by going to the library and trawling through endless spools of microfiche — film of newspaper pages from around the world. That evening she came into my office ashen faced — she had discovered it was clear, and very well evidenced, that this famine, the awful depictions of which had pulled on the world’s heartstrings, was man made, by government planes deliberately napalming rebel farms.

Christopher Hitchens’ thoughts on this …
To Hell With the Archbishop of Canterbury {slate.com feb2008}
In the midst of this dismal verbiage and euphemism, the plain statement—”There’s one law for everybody and that’s all there is to be said”—still stands out like a diamond in a dunghill. It stands out precisely because it is said simply, and because its essential grandeur is intelligible to everybody. Its principles ought to be just as intelligible and accessible to those who don’t yet speak English, in just the same way as the great Lord Mansfield once ruled that, wherever someone might have been born, and whatever he had been through, he could not be subject to slavery once he had set foot on English soil.

As some might remember there is a project , sponsored and developed by some villagers, to erect a large wind turbine near to our village . There have been a couple of recent meetings about it and I attended one of them.
The local ‘worthies’ had brought along a professional climate emergency speaker complete with an all singing all dancing presentation. He took the floor and held forth for an hour. The basic message was that massive detrimental climate change is inevitable over the next thirty years but that provided vigorous and rigorous action is taken immediately to reduce CO2 emissions even greater damage can be avoided in the second half of this century.
His presentation was full of scary pictures , fires, floods , droughts , famine , melting glaciers , rising sea levels etc . Young mothers were shielding their infants ears and eyes so they wouldn’t know the terrible fate which inevitably awaited them in adulthood.
David Attenborough was invoked as a holy man , a prophet, the IPCC was referred to the only true source which all scientists agreed with. I don’t watch the BBC but I assume that this is the sort of stuff they spew forth non stop.
It was like a revivalist meeting where the preacher threatens the congregation with hell fire and eternal damnation.
I pointed out one or two of the many errors ,inconsistencies and exaggeration in the presentation but it was like trying to stop a tank with a pea shooter.
What was so depressing was not the error strewn presentation itself but the way it was unquestionably lapped up by the audience of my fellow villages. Years of conditioning has done its work , perhaps even to the point where they are willing to make huge personal sacrifices to the Climate Gods!

I think it goes back to the awful Bliar years, when he started the rot, then scampered away and let the idiot Brown do the nasty stuff, both to the British population, and to private business in general, and I’ll never forgive him for that.
Climate change is the socialist way to thieve money from the gullible – the Beebolics adore it all, but that’s the civil service for you!

Diversity monster and wrecker of the once lovely department store John Lewis has announced she will step down from her Tory appointed position in 2025 by which time the store will be completely unsavable with her having spent untold millions on useless diversity training for staff which has not generated a single penny in income for the company.
A shame governments don’t go bankrupt in the way businesses do.

How Black History month is celebrated around the world

I’ve read the BBC article on Black Hysteria Month. It repeats the usual lies, including the discredited Cheddar Man fantasy. No reference to Britain’s role in ending slavery throughout the world. The BBC is taking comments, but at the time of writing, more that 2 hours after the article appeared, only 1 has been posted. And that’s been removed – guess it wasn’t too positive.

The BBC are wetting their panties again -this time because Trump is in court.
This alone sums it up for me:
‘The group of news organisations has argued in a letter to the judge that if there’s ever a case where arguments should be broadcast live, it’s this one: “The need for the broadest possible public access cannot be overstated. Quite literally, the world is watching these proceedings.”’
Then later we get:
‘Justice Arthur Engoron has just walked into the room and has taken his seat.
The first item the court is dealing with is whether cameras should be allowed in the courtroom today.
Engoron says he has to deny the request.’
The Judge is a Democrat.
The charge is brought by the first black woman New York Attorney General:
‘Letitia Ann James is an American lawyer and politician. She is a member of the Democratic Party.’
What a surprise. It’s a complete farce.
Stand by for the BBC to report every bad thing anybody says about Trump. That’s what their ‘Live Update’ feature is for.
Next we have the ‘election fraud’ where the judge Tanya Chutkan is another Democrat black woman who was appointed by Obama.
All information the BBC WON’T be telling you.

Justice Arthur Engoron has clearly set out, in collusion with the NY AG to nettle and provoke DJT via whatever powers the pair of them can arbitrarily abuse and he’s wallowing in his new found prominence + smirking at the media…
Engoron already said publically that Trump’s guilty and said no jury – he will decide.
How’s that work?

Letitia James is an embarrassment to the American legal profession. She actually ran on a “get Trump” slogan campaign!
Tanya Chutkan? pfff… look at her record.

A lot of commentators , even lefty ones, think this lawfare against Trump is increasing his support as the American public see it as grossly unfair and hypocritical.
Perhaps the Dems know that they have a series of insurance policies which guarantee them victory in the GE and so don’t care if these show trials drive voters to Trump. They are doing them to show anyone else who wants to follow the Trump MAGA agenda in future years what they can expect to happen to them if they do.

My Grandsons primary school have a montage of flags on the wall.
When he mentioned the Union (Jack) Flag was upside down his teacher said “it didn’t really matter”

Al,
My local council had a couple of Diamond* Jubilee flags flying last year, with a crown and some words centred over a Union Jack. Unfortunately they were printed the wrong way up, so the Union Jack part had to be flown upside down.
*Edit: Oops, I should’ve written Platinum.

If I recall my Hornblower, the Union Jack upside down is a distress call.

She probably hadn’t clue anyway. I despair sometimes at the level of intelligence that our esteemed teachers possess.
On one occasion my conversation with a teacher was of christmas presents received decades ago. I mentioned I always had “annuals” regularly every year. I was then asked by said teacher (in their late 20s) what an annual was. I just pursed my lips and rolled my eyes with a look of “really ?” on my face.
