We were talking at breakfast about what the new cabinet would look like after July 4th. It is expected that David Lammy will be our new Foreign Minister. I cannot forget how well he did on Mastermind. We all know he went to Harvard. I have been searching google to find what qualification he received. I can find he attended, or studied there but not what he achieved.
WE ARE ALL EQUAL ….For wealthy individuals …. WE ARE ALL EQUAL

“Non-dom” describes a UK resident whose permanent home – or domicile – for tax purposes is outside the UK.
It refers to a person’s tax status, and has nothing to do with their nationality, citizenship or resident status – although it can be affected by these factors.
A non-dom only pays UK tax on the money they earn in the UK. They do not have to pay tax to the UK government on money made elsewhere in the world (unless they pay that money into a UK bank account).
For wealthy individuals, this presents the opportunity for significant – and entirely legal – savings, if they choose a lower-tax country as their domicile.
And yet he’s supporting Labour. A few million from him to Reform could transform the situation. But he obviously prefers to curry favour with the next government, even though he must know they will be the usual socialist disaster.

Slaves were owned in all Islamic societies, both sedentary and nomadic, ranging from Arabia in the centre to North Africa in the west and to what is now Pakistan and Indonesia in the east. Some Islamic states, such as the Ottoman Empire, the Crimean Khanate, and the Sokoto caliphate [Nigeria], must be termed slave societies because slaves there were very important numerically as well as a focus of the polities’ energies.

Saudi Arabia: Aramco’s profits, the largest ever by a company, should support funding a global transition to renewable energy
The US$161.1 billion annual profit posted today by the Saudi Arabian state-backed oil company Saudi Aramco, the most ever disclosed by a company in a single year, should be used to fund a human rights-based transition to renewable energy, Amnesty International said.
Whatever the political elite do, (any and all of them), the UK is finished and is in the process of ‘transitioning’ (I do like the current ideology around this word !) to a post Roman Empire decline.

Broadcasting watchdog ends investigation into remarks that triggered complaints last June
As Martin Wolf, the chief economics commentator of the financial times, says: ‘The desirability of sizeable immigration is a matter more of values than of economics. It is not a choice between wealth and poverty, but of the sort of country one desires to inhabit.’
“THE lynch mob has claimed another victim. This time the brutal incident occurred in Swat’s Madyan area on Thursday when a man accused of desecration was burnt alive. Even the fact that the victim was in police custody did not deter the mob from delivering ‘justice’ themselves.
Other measures can include lessons on co-existence and tolerance in schools and seminaries, along with disseminating similar messages from the pulpit.
The chilling alternative to not doing anything — which appears to be the state’s preferred option — is the advent of mob rule.
As per reports, the unfortunate individual was visiting the area from Punjab, and was accused of committing an act of desecration. While police had hauled him away, announcements were allegedly made from local mosques urging people to storm the police station where he was being held. The ensuing events are the stuff of pure horror, as the mob torched the police station, burning alive the victim in the process upon the law enforcers’ refusal to hand him over.”
Daniel Hannon – a big pro brexit type – writes in the DT that we will regret destroying the blue party because we will gift the red s a 400 majority …( no so sure ) . Anyway dannial asks what have the blues done to deserve destruction ?
Even to ask such a question evidences that he has become as detached from real life as the blue regime ….
So Danny – here’s a little list
Failing to use the 80 majority we gave you …
Overwhelming population growth
Failure to control legal / illegal entry
Resultant failing public services
Socialist economic policies
Borrowing beyond reason
Uncontrolled public spending
Permitting the woke agenda
Failing to advance Brexit and fight the EU
Green crap leading to dangerous winters
Overpriced energy caused by green crap planning
Under resourced military
Uncontrolled councils closing towns for green crap
Income tax rises
Institutional corruption
Failure to control the BBC
Allowing institutions to become lefty woke parasites

“We will (Conservatives) reduce net migration from the hundreds of thousands to the tens of thousands. It will not be easy. It will take hard work and a great deal of political courage. But the British people want us to do it and it is the right thing to do. So we will do it.” – Theresa May

BBC News
Labour’s “red wall” across the Midlands and the north of England – the bedrock of the party’s support for generations – crumbled as the Conservatives claimed key marginal seats.
Leave-voting former mining towns like Workington, which was seen as representative of the voters parties needed to win over, backed the Tories.”
Yes I’m surprised he being ‘of the Right’ doesn’t recognise that once `borisovich got power his regime was completely transformed into the Labour Party – whether it was because of the enormous power the `state gave itself during the virus ( having frightened us into compliance ) I suppose history will tell …..
But the level of denial is just – breath taking – for instance Priti Patel and that dolt cleverley are popping up as future leaders of the blue party – don’t they know they are done ?
Anyone with any connection to that outfit might as well go get non exec £ Board £ jobs with betting companies …

From a Theresa May speech …
As Martin Wolf, the chief economics commentator of the financial times, says: ‘The desirability of sizeable immigration is a matter more of values than of economics. It is not a choice between wealth and poverty, but of the sort of country one desires to inhabit.’

“THE lynch mob has claimed another victim. This time the brutal incident occurred in Swat’s Madyan area on Thursday when a man accused of desecration was burnt alive. Even the fact that the victim was in police custody did not deter the mob from delivering ‘justice’ themselves.
Other measures can include lessons on co-existence and tolerance in schools and seminaries, along with disseminating similar messages from the pulpit.
The chilling alternative to not doing anything — which appears to be the state’s preferred option — is the advent of mob rule.
As per reports, the unfortunate individual was visiting the area from Punjab, and was accused of committing an act of desecration. While police had hauled him away, announcements were allegedly made from local mosques urging people to storm the police station where he was being held. The ensuing events are the stuff of pure horror, as the mob torched the police station, burning alive the victim in the process upon the law enforcers’ refusal to hand him over.”

Resultant failing public services
Socialist economic policies
Borrowing beyond reason
Uncontrolled public spending
Permitting the woke agenda
Failing to advance Brexit and fight the EU
Green crap leading to dangerous winters
Overpriced energy caused by green crap planning
Under resourced military
Uncontrolled councils closing towns for green crap
Income tax rises

“We will (Conservatives) reduce net migration from the hundreds of thousands to the tens of thousands. It will not be easy. It will take hard work and a great deal of political courage. But the British people want us to do it and it is the right thing to do. So we will do it.” – Theresa May

Daniel Hannon seems to forget that they had power, and did nothing with it …
“By Daniel Wainwright
BBC News
Labour’s “red wall” across the Midlands and the north of England – the bedrock of the party’s support for generations – crumbled as the Conservatives claimed key marginal seats.
Leave-voting former mining towns like Workington, which was seen as representative of the voters parties needed to win over, backed the Tories.”

Yes I’m surprised he being ‘of the Right’ doesn’t recognise that once `borisovich got power his regime was completely transformed into the Labour Party – whether it was because of the enormous power the `state gave itself during the virus ( having frightened us into compliance ) I suppose history will tell …..
But the level of denial is just – breath taking – for instance Priti Patel and that dolt cleverley are popping up as future leaders of the blue party – don’t they know they are done ?
Anyone with any connection to that outfit might as well go get non exec £ Board £ jobs with betting companies …

In the 2022-23 financial year, India imported Russia’s Ural oil at an average discount of nearly 9 percent a barrel, compared to the price offered by its second largest source, Iraq.23 Feb 2024

For some reason I get the feeling that the culprits will be found and prosecuted by the wet-police unlike the scumbag that stabbed Hatun at Speakers Corner in broad daylight.

How will this case pan out ? I guess the judge will dodge the issue on questioning the state’s attitude to the vaccine – and just discuss whether BBCOFCOM had the power to do what it did ….
But the description of BBCOFCOM as the State Censor is right – and whenever there is discussion about ‘freedom of the media ‘ – there really isn’t any –
The media self censors to meet the demands of almighty BBCOFCOM …
