    Life seems relatively normal in our rural Cheshire constituency. Aphra Brandreth, Gyles Brandreth’s daughter, was elected as a Tory with a substantial majority from a 71% turnout. It’s like going back to the old days:

    Brandreth, Aphra Conservative Party 19,905 (Elected)

    Davies, Steve Green Party 2,278

    Edwards, Gillian Independent 1,611

    Herd, Rob Liberal Democrats 5,430

    Langley, Peter John Reform UK 6,414

    Stogia, Angeliki Labour Party 16,848

    Angeliki Stogia is a Manchester Councillor, God knows why the Labour heads thought her a suitable cadidate.

    With its domestic fishing industry in long-term decline, the UK imports more than 80 percent of its seafood. China was the third-largest supplier in 2022, with the UK importing £278 million worth of Chinese seafood, compared to £164 million in 2012, according to Seafish, a public body.1 Dec 2023

      I have just been over in the Netherlands. With friends in a seaport town called Scheveningen. This had two docks with many fishing boats and fish processing warehouses.

      These docks were surrounded by eating places which were packed out.

      So if NL can have healthy fishing towns how come UK towns like Grimsby went into decline? Unless of course this was done deliberately to kill off our primary industries.

    Seems that Farage was right about the disrupters who tried to stop his press conference on Friday . There were seven they were actors . They were in a film called ‘the old oak ‘ by comrade Ken loach .
    It’s isn’t known whether comrade loach funded this anti democratic conspiracy – but wouid any one be surprised . The far left do ‘hate ‘ really well …

    If you saw the footage you could see each one had been briefed to leave once security got to them – no physical resistance to enable security to give them the beating they deserved …

    I have already got the ‘Bad Penny’ Blues, thanks Humphrey Lyttleton all the same, because of the Election result. Listening to Al this morning made it worse. The pound, let alone the penny, in your pocket is probably doomed. Got a feeling that Al will be a frequent visitor to the TOADY studio. Oh woe!

    I do enjoy watching the BBC’s narrative change when their political agenda changes. It’s so obvious, it would be funny if it wasn’t such a blatant abuse of power to interfere with elections.

    Now they want Joe to step down for no other reason than to stop Trump being elected. So after years of rank hypocrisy reporting about hime where they never even mentioned his dementia, all of a sudden they are writing multiple articles with much the same content over and over again.

    Biden interview fails to quell Democrat concerns over fitness
    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8971wl12r8o

    Yet again they take a quotation from someone else and present it in a paragraph all of it’s own with the message the BBC want to say but can’t:

    ‘She said that while she respected his decades of service, “there is simply too much at stake to risk a second Donald Trump presidency”.’

    and:
    ‘She said Trump “has openly talked about his admiration of dictators and his intention to be a dictator”.
    The beauty of this for the BBC is that they don;t have to provide context for exactly what Trump DID say. Because every single time they’ve done it, it has been completely out of context and he never said what they are trying to imply.

    It’s the same as they have done many times for Gaza. I am quite certain the BBC actually make some of these up themselves and present it as what others said. Often the English is simply far too good and incorporates specific keywords which the BBC commissars have stipulated the clones should use.

    But this caught my eye because I’ve been criticising the corrupt MSM for NEVER mentioning it and now I see it in 2 BBC articles on consecutive days:
    ‘In his interview, Mr Biden declined to take a cognitive test and make the results public to prove he was fit to serve another term.’

    Sorry BBC : 2 years too late. And you only mention it now because you want to stop Trump.

    The only good thing to come out of all this is to expose the MSM for what they are. Corrupt, partisan left-wing liars. Mostly ‘lies by deliberate omission’ which are lies just the same. And BBC are by far the worst because they have a mandate to be impartial.

    Keep going Joe : you and Kamala make a great team (for Trump). After watching Joe, I realise now that the senile old coot is being shielded from the real world by his sycophantic handlers and has been for many months. He really does think he has got what it takes. I suppose that’s the best thing abou tlosing your marbles : you are the only one who doesn’t realise.

      The delicious irony of all this is that the fact that the BBC (and MSM) lies-by-omission in covering up Joes very obvious decline is the reason they are in this panic situation now and the end result may well be that it tips the balance so Trump is the one elected !.

      I will really enjoy watching their desperation over the next few weeks until Joes fate is decided. I guarantee their strategy is going to be to try and pull Trump down. The Left have no ethics whatsoever about going for the man instead of the ball.

        Judging by the excellent tactics Obama has used to degrade President Trump ( series of show trials / ‘corrupt investigations ‘) we will see more of the same – unless they’ve run out ….

        .. meanwhile the physical method of fixing the November vote will be boosted for the next candidate – who is being portrayed as ‘unifying ‘ and announced by acclaim – Mrs Obama ….

        I’m waiting for the msm to ask ‘how did we not notice that sleepy joe has dementia ‘…. ( must look back at this site to see when we were discussing it – 2020?)

    Air strike on Gaza school kills at least 16 people
    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4ng04kpv2do

    ‘At least 16 people have been killed in an Israeli air strike on a school in the Gaza Strip, Palestinian officials have said. Dozens more have been injured.’
    16 children ?. 16 terrorists ?. The BBC leave it open so we assum e it’s children because of the word ‘school’.

    ‘A local source said the target was a room allegedly used by Hamas police. The BBC is unable to verify this claim.’
    What ???. Why add that bit on the end BBC ?. You never tell us you can’t verify all the other quotes you use !. How ridiculous – why not just write ‘but they might be lying’ instead. Even though we ALL know it’s true.

    And then:
    ‘The head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (Unrwa), which runs the school, described the June incident as “horrific” and said the claim that armed groups might have been inside a shelter was “shocking” but could not be confirmed.’
    Agaian BBC : ‘but could not be confirmed’. Implying it may well be a lie. The second such trick and only ever used to discredit Israeli claims. Hamas on the other hand are given a free soapbox for their most ridiculous claims.

    The worst part of this story is the BBC telling us the head of UNRWA is ‘shocked’ implying this is the first time he has heard such an accusation. The BBC seem not to realise how EVERYBODY knows Hamas use UN materials and UN sites for their own bases. It’s impossible that they don’t : those tunnels don’t dig themselves and mix their own concrete. But of course the truth is that nobody dare stop them. So they turned a blind eye. And now the BBC are covering it up for them.
    A good one for ‘BBC Verify’ to ‘geo-locate’ some of the videos of the fighting to confirm it. I wonder why they don’t …

    Some election reflections –

    I think above all the election showed that if you do a bad job – however many words you use – you’ll get punished . And any politician who doesn’t realise this is dead .

    The clearest example is the SNP – which lands up with a former leader ( crankie ) as a £pundit £ on ITV being rubbished by a former best mate – the hateful Joanne Cherry – live on TV .you might remember Cherry admitted – boasted – of using every method possible to deny Brexit – the the blues – May- did that too.

    Turn out was low – with – I suggest the ‘all the same ‘ party winning a lot of votes at home – the uni party is real ….

    How could so many blue MPs not see that by not being conservative – which the voters thought they were – they were destined for the dustbin ?200 blue MPs . Forgive me about using ‘blue’ but I use this as they were not tories or conservatives – they only believed in themselves … they were largely dross – but sadly a few conservatives also died with them …

    The vote for the reds and yellows was largely half hearted – with reform splitting the blue vote in nearly 100 seats …

    Despite the msm – bbc – c4 physically attempting to destroy Reform – eg bb question time – c4 actor – the reform vote was massive . 4 million – which even after the election makes reform ‘other’ in the eyes of the BBC . The bbc cannot stand the existence of Reform .

    Starmer – who ? Can starmer develop a character which will be ‘loved ‘ in the way that – say – Boris was ? How long will people accept everything wrong is the fault of the blue party > ?I reckon 2 years .

    But something will come along which is wholely the blame of the reds . But opposition in the commons will be weak -Maude’s by comrade Hoyle in the speakers ‘ chair …. And the msm will act like the US media – covering up – providing uncritical support for the reds – particularly the BBC – the big winner ..

    PS – the other big winner was the independent Muslim vote – the shape of things to come … until they are stopped … we might need help from the IDF for that – and I write this on 7/7 – 18 years after Muslim mass murder in londonistan …. I remember … I was there ..

      Fed, the Conservative Party have been ruined by Teresa May opining was it at a Party Conference that the Conservatives were seen as the ‘Nasty Party’. Since then, they have been trying to be nice to everyone, except Brexiteers of course. So ‘Call me Dave’ went for Same Sex Marriage and staying in the EU, Bojo went for environmental issue of Global Warming & Climate Change plus fixing the Care Home crisis, Truss went for being nice to the higher rate taxpayer and Rishi Sunak went for something or other. All this just to appeal to people, to appear not to be the ‘Nasty Party’.

          ON GB News yesterday, a panel was discussing the Reform Contract, and one member mentioned that it wasn’t far off the same as Liz Truss’s aspirations!

          I still think that she got a raw deal, because at least she was elected by ballot, not just chucked into No 10 as an also-ran, like Sunak.

          I wouldn’t be surprised if she joined Nigel Farage at some stage, and that could well make a difference – she certainly wasn’t a commercial lightweight when Trade Minister, but those around her were!

          Penny Maudaunt could also be another outsider having a chat with the proper opposition…

    Sportingly squeezing into a semi and pulling out with a stiff wrist in this astonishing edition

    Left-leaning Sunday Times cartoonist Newman celebrates our by default, Buggins’ turn PM, stuffed shirt Sir Keir, this morning with football imagery.

    He sketches England supporters wearing anathema to recently re-elected Labour MP for Islington South and Finsbury, her ladyship Emily Thornberry, St George’s cross flag T-shirts, as they jump for joy shouting “Broken Britain – It’s fixed!” – like an impatient schoolmaster sadly and resignedly irritated by some lame classroom prank I say “It’s not funny and it’s certainly not clever”

    Mind you: Sir Keir Starmer has appointed a lawyer who has taken cases against British governments as the new Attorney General, in an apparent snub to Emily Thornberry. In a surprise move, he has given a peerage to Richard Hermer, a KC from Matrix chambers, which Sir Tony Blair’s wife Cherie co-founded. On Friday night it was not clear whether Ms Thornberrry had a role in Sir Keir’s Cabinet. (Telegraph)

    Speaking of football, our press was recently roundly chastised by our BBC for daring to present an image of a black player as somehow emblematic of England failure: Media criticised for use of Saka image in England defeat… Gareth Southgate introduced Bukayo Saka off the England bench against Iceland (BBC) – happily there’s no such risk of those slings and arrows of outrageous race-baiting this bright morrow

    Heaven Trent! Prince cheers as penalty hero blasts England into the semi-finals (Sunday Express) – that’ll be Prince William not the diminiative now demised singer, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, record producer, actor and above all Artist, formerly know as.

    Yeeesss!!! Let’s celebrate with a giant Toblerone – exclaims the suggestive Daily Star Sunday

    Excuse me while this reviewer, despite media hype, fanfare, exhilaration and exaggerated tumescence – treat this one as merely a semi

    By the way, my brain may be in need of the sort of thoroughgoing MOT that US President Joe Biden tends to duck. My headline-addled thoughts are now pre-empting cheeky red-top tabloid humour: 5 perfect pens from Lions to beat Swiss… & we get a semi (Star)

    ‘Doctor, doctor, please help me, I can only speak in tabloid headlines’

    ‘Gotcha!’

    So we finally overcame that soccer powerhouse that is the alpine republic of Switzerland – and at the last gasp rock, paper, scissors tie-breaker at that.

    Despite Emily Thornberry, the Observer knows which side its bread is buttered emblematic imagery-wise: They’re through… England squeeze past Swiss into semis… Saka goal takes team to penalty shootout

    Meanwhile it’s a toss up between our complex nationality racket-weilding ingénue and the pale blue-blooded dure – anyone but England – saltire-waving Scot: Radacanu stuns Murray (Sunday Telegraph)

    What did they used to say in the schoolyard? Ummmm, I’m getting my mum onto you!

    Judy Murray’s jibe as Emma ends Andy’s SW19 dream (The Mail on Sunday); Judy Murray’s two-word response to Emma Raducanu’s Wimbledon doubles withdrawal… “Yes, astonishing” (Mirror)

    The gynaeceum that is the BBC online press frontpage pickers find nothing to offend their precious sensibilities in promoting the formerly Rishi lackey loyalist Sunday Express to their top spot to help the balance stats – what with: Heaven Trent! and: PM: Rwanda plan ‘dead and burried’

    Mr AsI foresees Starmer’s government promoting a scary admixture of globalist-inspired achingly PC cultural policy in the name of safety-first therapeutic one-world statism – this as his sop to the left; meanwhile lashings of corporate crony public-private finance contracts, administered with a heavy-handed managerial technocratic lawyerish, state surveillance and control apparatus to subdue potential opposition to the right.

    Blest be the tie that binds
    Our hearts in Christian love;
    The fellowship of kindred minds
    Is like to that above.

    (John Fawcett, 1782)

    The ties that bind

    See here: Labour in talks with Germany over ‘closer EU ties’ (Telegraph); Blair ally drafted in to drive NHS reform… Alan Milburn backs private sector involvement… (Telegraph); Blair tells Starmer: You need plan for immigration… Ex-leader moots digital IDs to control borders (Times)

    Our BBC no doubt will play a leading role. Such new powers held in adoration by our national broadcaster rather than held to account.

      A frightening article . An academic who notices words and grammar … dangerous . But the stricter claim that Starmer is looking for a formal constitution … redrawing the British State ?
      I don’t think so . How could he do it ? Surely ( ugh ) he’d need a brexit style referendum to get people to vote for the abolition of the House of Lords – and as we have just seen `PMs love the Lords for all sorts of reasons ….
      I’m side tracked – but I’ve just worked out that Starmer will engineer thornberry to take ermin or mink or milk or milf and get Ashworth back into a safe seat and the cabinet by the New Year honours ….

      Anyway back to the starmer paper . From personal experience – writing long and complex reports for very senior people – they don’t actually read them – that’s the staffys’ job – the staffy then writes a single sheet briefer or tells the boss over a drink ( if they are good ) – so I reckon Starmer had no idea of the content of that document ….

      .. and as for proof reading … memories of sitting on tube trains doing my proofing and re proofing until it was making my nose bleed .

      No one proofed that – no one cared to …

      I can’t see starmer going anywhere near the constitution – his crew are gonna be far too busy trying to work out how to get re elected in 2029 …

    estimate the earliest a visitor levy could be in place in any part of Wales is 2027. We would be required to
    charge visitors to the hostels and pass on the levy to the Council.”

    Robin Aitkin in the DT on the reds and their State Broadxaster

    STARTS They did their best to hide it, but there was no mistaking the air of quiet satisfaction (some might say smug complacency) which has infused BBC output these past few weeks. As usual, the Corporation’s weapon of choice was story selection; during the campaign, it selected for greatest prominence those stories which did the Tories (and Reform) most damage. And, having done their bit, BBC people feel that at long last the era of Tory terror is ending; in New Broadcasting House it will have been “trebles all round” when the votes were counted.

    In one way, you cannot blame them; the relationship between the BBC and recent Conservative administrations has been an uneasy one. The quite obvious anti-Conservative bias provoked a reaction – though not an especially effective one – from the Tories. The BBC was kept on short rations, the licence fee was squeezed and complaints about a lack of impartiality were loud and many. But here we are, entering a new political era and the Corporation is still standing, its prerogatives and prejudices intact, looking forward to what it hopes will be a mutually supportive relationship with a new Labour government.

    The BBC will be expecting to be enfolded in a warm embrace, and history suggests its confidence is justified. After Labour’s 1997 landslide, the BBC was one of the first beneficiaries. At that point it was operating under a five-year plan agreed by John Major’s administration which kept downward pressure on the licence fee. One of Gordon Brown’s first decisions as chancellor was to rip up that agreement and take the financial pressure off. And why not? As a loyal Labour ally, it was payback time. So maybe in the next few weeks, history will repeat itself and if so senior BBC management will heave a sigh of relief.

    But even if the new Government is feeling generous, financial largesse will not, of itself, be a permanent solution to the BBC’s troubles. Because the licence fee is running out of time; as the BBC begins a second century of existence, finding some alternative funding mechanism is becoming an urgent priority. Before the election was called, there was a working party within the Department for Media Culture and Sport (DCMS) which had been meeting for some months and was halfway through its deliberations. That work stopped immediately the election was announced, and whether it begins again will be entirely up to the new Secretary of State. If they’re wise, they should recall the committee because the BBC needs a fresh approach.

    However sympathetic the new Government is towards the BBC, there’s widespread agreement in the media that something will have to change. And there is a deadline: the Royal Charter, under which the BBC operates, is due for renewal in 2027, and by then there is an expectation that decisions will have been made about the future. Even those who would like to see the licence fee simply extended for another 10 years fear that it is not the long-term solution, for three big reasons.

    Firstly, the licence fee is highly unpopular. John Curtice, the BBC’s favoured polling guru, has tracked public attitudes and found there is a large and consistent majority in favour of scrapping the licence fee. Curtice points out that when the pollster Public First asked people, in 2021, to name the most unfair taxes, the licence fee was nominated by 33 per cent (only inheritance tax, at 34 per cent, was viewed less favourably).

    Secondly, because of its unpopularity, raising the licence fee is politically difficult for Labour. It is a regressive tax and, at £169.50, weighs heavily on the poor. Simply increasing the fee will not be popular with the new Government’s voters. And thirdly, the licence fee is no longer even providing a stable and rising revenue stream which the BBC says it needs to compete; for several years now, increasing numbers of people have refused to pay. Some of these refuseniks say the BBC is politically biased against them; others, largely younger people, don’t use the BBC much and object to what they see as an arbitrary tax.

    Taken together, these factors underline the need for a new method of funding – one which will give the Corporation the money it needs without arousing the ire of those forced to pay it. What are the options? One is to copy the Germans, who have a “rundfunkbeitrag”, which is a broadcasting tax levied on every household and business.

    Peter Bazalgette, co-chairman of the Creative Industries Council, recently wrote that because German businesses and other organisations contribute, it is “a way of getting civil society to support public service media. By this means the household licence fee could actually be reduced without damaging the BBC.” There’s an obvious problem though: throughout the election campaign, Labour promised not to increase taxes, and a new broadcasting tax, even if it was made more progressive by making business and the rich pay more, would be a highly visible way of breaking that promise.

    Many industry insiders want the BBC to embrace the subscription model; they argue that the Corporation should emulate the success of streaming services such as Netflix. David Elstein, former chief executive of Channel 5, who was a member of the DCMS panel, says the problem is persuading the BBC hierarchy: “As long as the licence fee survives, you cannot. The BBC sees subscription as an existential threat to the licence fee. If it were found to be successful as a ‘top-up’, the pressure to replace the licence fee would be irresistible.”

    Elstein believes that to bring the BBC to a point where it accepts subscription, the Government should offer a system of “split financing” under which public service output should be free to all and funded by a public broadcasting authority. Other output – drama, sport, etc – would be available only to those who paid a subscription.

    Labour will be tempted to stick with the licence fee, but Elstein believes this would be a strategic error, and would risk “killing the BBC with kindness”. The Corporation believes that it should be available to all, and there has been a refusal to trade in the certainties of the licence fee for anything else. But the moment may now be approaching where this line cannot be held.

    Of course, if the BBC were doing its job properly, were truly our “national broadcaster”, the licence fee would never have become controversial in the first place. Imagine a situation in which all shades of political opinion and all sectors of society felt they were given a fair hearing. If that were so, would there be any pressure now to replace the licence fee? At its current level it’s not an excessive price, certainly compared with the other streaming services. And you get a lot for your money – all the radio services as well as some high-quality non-news programming.

    The trouble is that, even if the Corporation now has friends in government, it has many enemies out in the country; people who believe it has betrayed its central mission by becoming ideologically aligned with elite opinion. The right way for the BBC to secure its long-term future would be by making real the impartiality it so loudly proclaims – if that could be done, maybe the clamour to replace the licence fee would subside because a properly impartial BBC would be in everybody’s interest.

    The Tory governments of the past decade promised to sort out the BBC but failed to do so (thus adding another to the long list of things left undone). A Labour government will probably take the pressure off the BBC for now, but the Corporation should understand that its long-term security relies on it regaining the trust of the whole country: it’s a long way from that right now.ENDS

    Those BBC staff and production companies must be so happy to have another 5 years on taxpayers’ money without any need to produce good stuff any more – just – the message …

    Seeing that the various factions scheming to be the next leader of the blues just re enforces the denial they are in . Apart from personal ego – why would anyone want that job ?

    I know the leader of the opposition gets the same tax free pay and pension that the PM and speaker get – but what’s the point >
    The shadow cabinet will be the dregs of the last failed blue regime – hunt as shadow chancellor – IDS at home or foreign office – but the rest ? Who cares ?

    I suppose it’s between the coloured girls who failed to stop the rot – reform won’t want to know any blues wanting to come over – far too toxic to pollute a positive – honest – yes honest brand …
    Gonna be a long 1800 ish days …. Time for a new thread …
