            order-order.com

            Overnight the Home Affairs Committee released a report warning that Israel-Gaza marches are placing ‘unsustainable‘ pressure on the police, as Scotland Yard spent £19 million of taxpayers’ money on policing events in London, and £6 million outside the capital. The strain on the Metropolitan Police has caused over 4,000 officers to abandon rest days to ensure protests don’t get out of control. The City is tearing itself apart over the demonstrations…

      Well most of that is never going to happen! Loads of tax cutting and nowhere near enough tax saving means higher government borrowing and the Liz Truss effect comes back.

      We can’t leave the Human Rights charter – but then we don’t need to .
      Can’t deport foreign criminals if their countries won’t accept them back !

      Why ban Trans ideology in schools and leave all the other far Left ideology untouched? Critical Race Theory is far more dangerous.
      Teachers in the education act are forbidden from any kind of political indoctrination of pupils yet I don’t believe a single one has been prosecuted for it. Begin active prosecutions long overdue.

      How about scrapping junk degrees and why should someone ‘studying’ Lesbian Dance Theory have an interest free loan to do so?

      How about making benefits dependent of first having done 5 years of work ? Then all the single mothers who have no intention of working and whose kids grow up to a life of crime destitute and forced to work to provide for their unwanted sprogs?

      I am just thinking of the one on the list of writing off university fees for doctors and nurses. Sounds simple until I thought of the practicalities. Would these medics pay nothing until the 10 years were up? But then the ones who had gone off to Australia, if in those 10 years would have paid nothing back. Would all medics pay off something every year and then get a lump sum at the 10 year mark? But then would the women who had given birth and taken time off, and then gone part time have to do a longer time. You can imagine the squeals.

      Besides I know a mature student nurse. He is getting his fees paid plus I think £18,000 a year while he is a student at the moment. He also has time to do some of the work he was doing prior to starting his degree. I don’t know his exact situation, but it seems somehow ahead of Mr Tice’s manifesto.

    Division = bad
    Diversity = good

    A clue should be that both concepts share the same root word… to differentiate between types; separate from each other. You can’t unify separate elements without losing diversity so gov and media should at least understand what they’re talking about.

    Seven years ago it looked like Lutfur Rahman’s political career was finished. An excoriating High Court judgment by the Electoral Commissioner Richard Mawrey QC had found the mayor of Tower Hamlets and his agents guilty of multiple counts of corrupt and illegal practices.

    Last Friday Mr Rahman’s ambitions were fulfilled once again as he was swept back into power, winning the Tower Hamlets mayoralty with an even bigger margin of victory over Labour’s John Biggs than in the 2014 election.

    How on Earth could the ancient continent of Europe end up with leaders so absolutely awful that we are now facing the destruction of the entire continent.

    Of course there is one constant with Socialism or liberal leftism and that is the ending of lives in the tens if not hundreds of millions and the total; destruction of what ever they come into contact with.

    Thanks to the corrupt Jews in Bidens Demonrat party we have a major conflict rumbelling on in Ukraine, and the destruction by the Demonrats of the Nordstream pipeline in order the enrich their backers has destroyed the European manufactuing powerhouse Germany.

    At the same time the muppets of the Left have been bringing in violent fighting age men from other countries who appears devoid of any useable skills we are having to support.

    And now because the muppets have realised that we the West are losing in Ukraine they are considering sending troops into the country in order the escalate the conflict. They have been warned that doing so will provoke a nuclear response and yet because they know they have private bunkers and will be safe they don’t care.

    These are the delusional people so far detached from reality that the famers are having to bring violent protest to their doors, only then do they temporarily relent, before going straight back to the business of trying to destroy that which they have been given to care for.

    .. discussed a plan to attack an Islamic Education Centre in Leeds.”

    So they had half a weapon .. and discussed a plan
    That is something, you can’t print bullets .. so they weren’t fully prepared

    The Four Evils campaign (Chinese: 除四害; pinyin: Chú Sì Hài), was one of the first actions taken in the Great Leap Forward in China from 1958 to 1962. Authorities targeted four pests for elimination: rats, flies, mosquitoes, and sparrows. The extermination of sparrows – also known as the smash sparrows campaign[1] (Chinese: 打麻雀运动; pinyin: dǎ máquè yùndòng) or the eliminate sparrows campaign (Chinese: 消灭麻雀运动; pinyin: xiāomiè máquè yùndòng) – resulted in severe ecological imbalance, being one of the causes of the Great Chinese Famine of 1959–1961.

    t is widely regarded as the deadliest famine and one of the greatest man-made disasters in human history, with an estimated death toll due to starvation that ranges in the tens of millions (15 to 55 million).[note 1] The most stricken provinces were Anhui (18% dead), Chongqing (15%), Sichuan (13%), Guizhou (11%) and Hunan (8%).[1]

    There are specific rules/Laws regarding RTB Council or Housing Association property.
    The buyer has to be a Tenant be living at the property which must be the buyer’s sole property. And has to be a tenant for at least three years.

    Under normal tenancy rules for social housing sub letting is disallowed.

    Rayner looks to have some questions to answer although she could be innocent.

      “Former neighbours of the council house at the centre of a row which has left Angela Rayner facing a potential police probe, say they had never seen her living there.

      They said that in the time she owned it, the only time they recall the future Labour deputy leader visiting the property, was when her brother was living there – who he described as his landlady, despite her denying she ever was.

      She appeared on the electoral roll at the property – on Vicarage Road – until it was sold, official documents seen by the Mail on Sunday show.

      That is despite her husband Mark Rayner being listed as a voter at another property a mile away – in Lowndes Lane – following their 2010 marriage.

      Yet when Ms Rayner re-registered the births of her two youngest children that same year, she gave his address on Lowndes Lane.

      Anyone who knowingly provides false information about the address they are registered to vote at could face conviction and a prison sentence.”

      Further to the Right to Buy rules. There is the so called ‘Right of First Refusal’. If the RTB buyer wishes to sell within Ten years of buying, it has to be offered back to the Council/Trust who have the Right to Buy it back at market value.

      She may of course have complied with the requirement however a lot of Solicitors are not familiar with Right to Buy and I’m unsure if it appears on the deeds.

    The BBC says that BBC Verify checks the facts with the authorities and removes malinformation, misinformation and disinformation to instil order and trust in important people, appointed by those in authority due to protected characteristics, who regard news of deaths and injuries as less important than news about racist or sexist words. News about laptops and presidents with dementia is false news and is banned by the BBC. In fact Joe Biden is the font of all knowledge and truth. This truth is passed down to the CIA, then through FVEY to OFCOM and then on to the BBC to be broadcast on BBC News.

    One of those who did that, BAME leadership contender Vaughan Gethin, accepted a £200,000 donation from a dodgy environmentalist.

    This may go some way towards explaining why we have islamic extremists allowed to vent their racism every weekend:

    “Sadiq Khan’s past links to extremists are the basis of questions about his record as Mayor.

    ANALYSIS: In 2016 Sadiq Khan successfully portrayed questions about his links to extremists as “Islamophobia” – but his record as Mayor raises new questions.

    In August 2002, Khan was denied access to the US to help defend Zacarias Moussaoui, a member of Al Qaeda who was part of the 9/11 terrorist atrocities.

    In 2016, convicted terrorist Babar Ahmad, who supported the Taliban and ISIS, tried to play down his relationship with Sadiq Khan in a BBC interview.

    However, Ahmad’s sister Sara had a different recollection: “Sadiq Khan has been a friend of Babar’s since they were boys and a wonderful supporter since his arrest.”

    In 2004, Khan and Jeremy Corbyn attended the Palestine: The Suffering Still Goes On conference at the Tooting Islamic Centre.

    Sharing the platform was Stephen Sizer, who has promoted conspiracy theories that Israel was responsible for 9/11; Ibrahim Hewitt, chairman of Interpal, designated as “global terrorist organisation” by the US ,who supports Hamas and is also a member of the organisation that invited the “blood libel” cleric Raed Salah to Britain; and Dr Daud Abdullah, who led the Muslim Council of Britain’s boycott of Holocaust Memorial Day and advocated attacks on the Royal Navy if they tried to stop arms for Hamas being smuggled into Gaza.

    Then in 2007, Khan attended and spoke at the 10th anniversary celebrations of the Palestinian Return Centre (PRC), alongside Corbyn. PRC is banned in Israel and is described as “Hamas’s organisational branch in Europe” which organises “radical and violent activity” and has branded Israelis “Nazi Jews”.”

    Khan has also advocated the introduction of Islamic law into parts of the UK.

    In 2004, he wrote: “There are some other uncontroversial areas of Islam law which could easily be applied to the legal system we have in the UK.

    In 2007, he opposed the banning of forced marriages, describing the Bill as stereotyping “ghetto” legislation.

    There were other allegations including claims of links to the pan-Islamic group Hizb ut Tahrir, which preached an end to democracy and the “illegal” state of Israel, propagated jihad, and wanted to establish a unified “Islamic State””

    “There are some 150,000 practising solicitors in the UK. A legitimate question to ask: why did so many extremely violent Sunni jihadists approach his firm? (The context was he became one of three bosses and an equity partner). They had around 50 employees to choose from! Why did he specifically work with these jihadi leaders? How on earth did they know to approach his firm and him?”
