    2024 “More sentencings taking place in connection with violent disorder”
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/clyg90d4d14t

    ……………………………..

    There were examples of children who had been doused in petrol and threatened with being set alight, threatened with guns, made to witness brutally violent rapes and threatened they would be next if they told anyone.

    Girls as young as 11 were raped by large numbers of male perpetrators.

    This abuse is not confined to the past but continues to this day.
    https://www.rotherham.gov.uk/downloads/file/279/independent-inquiry-into-child-sexual-exploitation-in-rotherham

    Several staff described their nervousness about identifying the ethnic origins of perpetrators for fear of being thought racist; others remembered clear direction from their managers not to do so.

    “Labour swore it wouldn’t hike VAT – see sneaky way Reeves could make us pay more anyway.

    During the general election, Labour leader Keir Starmer repeatedly pledged the party wouldn’t hike income tax, national insurance (NI) or VAT. That could change in the autumn Budget.
    Labour-backing tax campaigners want chancellor Rachel Reeves to raise more revenues from the last of these three taxes: VAT. She may be tempted to do so.
    VAT, which stands for value added tax, is a flat rate charge applied to most products and services we buy. It’s the UK’s third-largest tax, after income tax and NI.
    In 2023/24, receipts totalled £169.25billion. By comparison, inheritance tax generated just £7.5billion. VAT is charged at a flat rate of 20% which falls to 5% on home energy bills. New housing, children’s clothing and most foods are zero-rated.

    If Reeves hiked the 20% charge or scrapped VAT exemptions, this would spark even more outrage than her move to abolish the winter fuel payment for 10million pensioners. I doubt she’ll do that. But there’s something else she could do. Small business owners will hate it. So will their customers.

    Today, businesses only have to register for VAT if their annual turnover tops £90,000. Former Tory chancellor Jeremy Hunt increased the threshold from £85,000 in his March Budget saying it would “reduce the administrative and financial impact” of the tax and encourage them to invest and grow.

    Now campaigners want Labour to slash the VAT registration threshold to £45,000 or even £30,000. This would smother small businesses in red tape but could happen.

    VAT-registered businesses must keep records of everything they buy and sell, send a VAT return to HMRC every three months, and pay any tax due. There are hefty fines for getting it wrong.

    It’s a lot of cost and bother for people who are already working flat out. Many deliberately hold their annual income below the £90,000 threshold to avoid it.

    Many tax experts want to put a stop to that, including Labour’s new advisor Sir Edward Troup. When Hunt hiked the VAT registration threshold to £90,000 he said halving it instead “would have been a better way to remove a barrier to growth.”

    This will see ordinary people pay more VAT, too. Here’s just one example. If your plumber is registered for VAT, they are required to add an extra 20% to customer invoices to accommodate the added tax.

    You will pay this and can’t claim it back.

    Think tank The Resolution Foundation, led by former Labour adviser Torsten Bell, wants to go even further.

    It has proposed slashing the VAT registration threshold to just £30,000 as today’s higher threshold “acts as a disincentive for small firms to grow”.
    That could hit more than 500,000 businesses. Not to mention their customers.”

      I think the 30 October budget will be a real stinger. The left will be delighted when reeve lifts the 2 kid benefits / welfare limit – and throws money at the feckless using increased stealth taxes ranging from stamp duty to – as said – reducing VAT thresholds .
      She is screwed on increasing VAT rates as it hits the most feckless most . Me being from a ‘don’t work don’t eat’ background it will all be a far left fest …

      There is no way labour is going to achieve real commercial growth – borrowed public money will just be re circulated to make things look better but the reality is money makers will just go find a better country …. A lot of CGT avoidance action going on at the moment …

        Fedup, I think that it would be too early after cutting the fuel allowance to raise the child threshold. Cynicism tells me that this will be kept as a desirable for the next manifesto. Needless to say there will be no comment from the green lobby that population reduction is one way to prevent growing carbon emissions which they are so worried about.

    Smarmer, Rayner and Reeves are running a despotic regime. With the BBC and other media onside they will be targeting other contentious area.

    Think MMGW is alarmist hocus pocus? Anyone protesting extortionate energy bills and power cuts will be jailed. Anyone questioning their eco narrative will be jailed.

    Anyone objecting to wide scale housing developments or the need for them? Jail them.

    Anyone protesting land grabs? Jail them.

    Tax increases. It will be a picking off excercise, they will target all sorts obvious targets and some subtle stealth ones. VAT could be raised selectively for ‘luxury’ goods and services that Communists think should be reserved for them. Anyone unhappy? Jail them.

    Anyone unhappy with cutting winter fuel payments for Pensioners? Jail them. I think Smarmer and Co have got away very lightly with that one, hardly a murmur. Of course announcing it during a heat wave months before it could have been paid helps.

    I knew I disliked Smarmer before he even became Corbyn’s deputy. How right I was.

    Afternoon fellow far right racists.

    There’s lots of places we can build housing for our rapidly increasing population.

    Look at the Lake District. Why not bulldoze the mountains into the lakes. Helvellyn into lake Thirlmere would fit nicely. Once it’s all flat, multiple blocks of flats could be built freeing up hotel beds around the Country for tourists.

    It’s already flat on Salisbury Plain so knock down Stonehenge (you can give it to Greece) and get building.

    All the golf courses could be built on.
    Cut the forests down and build there.

    They say we need more babies yet at the same time we are overpopulated. Proper Orwell stuff there.

    Well, yet another vile knife attack in London; this time Leicester Square…

    A young woman and an eleven year old girl were attacked by a knifeman this morning in broad daylight. So far, there are no suggestions as to the reasons for this unprovoked attack…and God forbid anyone hint at anything in Starmer/Stalin’s Britain.

    Hang on though, wasn’t it just yesterday that uber-smug Jon Sopel, ex BBC Luvvie and bestest friend of paedo Huw Edwards, was taking the piss out of Elon Musk’s warning about Britain heading towards civil war.

    Sopel put up a photo of Londoners and tourists enjoying the sun in one of London’s lovely parks. He chortled as he told his followers that London was the most vibrant city in the world. It clearly suggests that London is safe.
    It looks idyllic.

He might have had anger issues or was there some grooming going on? I suspect we won’t know for months until a trial.
    We do of course do know all those convicted protestors, the arrested protestors and online posters are Far Right Fascists, Keir Stalin told us that and the Courts have taken their instructions.

    Sir Keir Starmer has said he wants to reduce the number of people going to prison……..
    ….. ….he appointed a businessman as his prisons minister who has previously said only a third of prisoners should be there.
    James Timpson, boss of the shoe repair chain which has a policy of recruiting ex-offenders, said in an interview with Channel 4 earlier this year that “we’re addicted to punishment”.
    …. The businessman told a Channel 4 podcast in February that prison was a “disaster” for around a third of prisoners, and another third “probably shouldn’t be there”.
    He said too many people being in prison for “far too long” was an example of “evidence being ignored because there is this sentiment around punish and punish”.
    “We’re addicted to sentencing, we’re addicted to punishment,” he added.

    Top headline on the BBC:

    Another ‘Live update’ rehashing the same stories they’ve been trumpeting for days.

    Meanwhile the fact an 11 year old girl and her mother were stabbed on the street in broad daylight is somewhere over on the right in a subpane. And of course even though it will have had many, many eyewitnesses, every single newspaper avoids telling us anything at all which might identify the ethnic origin of who did it.

    Which of course means they have been directed by the government not to. These protests have been a real eye-opener to just how far down the path to being a fascist state we have gone.

    The ferocity of the suppression by the Left is breathtaking. It rivals the response of the Democrats to the Jan 06 protests. Their response to being accused of making a two-tier, anti-white society is to clamp down on the dissent even more.

      Not condoning it, but I do wonder if this 12 year old was just copying what the older males from his street were doing?

      Typical kid’s behavior to fit in if so.

      I’d hope they’d have investigated that possibility before announcing an arrest.

      Looks like this ‘no mercy for whitey,’ policy is not ending anytime soon.

      They ,just won’t look at the causes (politicians causing absolute chaos with their insane obsession with multi culti – it was ‘the final straw’ for many normal people).

      That would require some inward reflection and a lot of powerful people losing a few quid.

      Allegedly.

      Never forget Starmer took the knee and sided with far more violent rioters when a black criminal was killed (hmm?) in the USA. But then says there were ‘no excuses’ for violence when 3 white girls were slaughtered by a non white.

      That to me makes it sound like he thinks George Floyd’s life was worth more than those three little girls, doesn’t it?

    then we can expect them to use it not just to force mass migration and Islamification down our throats but also the imposition of the full range of Net Zero measures , and all the rest of their hidden agenda including the suspension or abolition of democracy.

    Leicester Square stabbing books itself a spot on bbc:

    “A shop security guard has described how he disarmed a knifeman after an 11-year-old girl and a 34-year-old woman were stabbed in London’s Leicester Square.

    Abdullah, 29, said he “heard a scream”, then “jumped on” the man who was attacking the child before holding him down and taking the knife off him.

    “I just saw a kid getting stabbed and I just tried to save her. It’s my duty to just save them,” he said.

    Abdullah said he and his colleagues gave first aid to the child before police arrived.”

    TOADY Watch #1 – Hamas must be completely believed, says Harsh Headmistress Mishal

    Quite why Mishal went all the way to Scotland this morning was something of a mystery to me. Don’t know if it was explained at all in the rest of the programme. I only listened to the first 15 minutes and then the 8.10 a.m. Big Interview. Perhaps she was there to go grouse shooting?

    Mishal was pushing the Hamas line and she became very interrupty and talkovery with the with this morning’s guest who was either a spokesman for the Israeli Government or the IDF. I’m not sure whether this gentleman was introduced properly by Mishal after a Palestinian Doctor had got his Hamas propaganda in first. I wish the BBC would go back to publishing a ‘Running Order’ for TOADY. Anyway the Israeli stood up to Mishal and refused to take her nonsense about casualties from the so-called ‘school’ attack. The Israelis have aerial footage from drones and they do their best to prevent civilian casualties.

    I can only echo our very own Fed: go on IDF! Get the Hamas held-hostages back! Win the war on Hamas.

      And the telegraph reports that meesh is in the frame to take on the Huw Edwards gig ….ahead of the lightweight coloured one – myrie –
      Meesh doing the heavy stats stuff – one small step for a Muslim ….
      Another seat for ‘today ‘ …. Gotta be a tick box coloured type – perhaps myrie himself … interesting for those still using the BBC …

      Ps – and I think the board of deputies have put a formal complaint in concerning meesh and her love for Hamas / Palestine …

      Keep going IDF

      Might be worth topping up the tank if Iran decides to ‘do one ‘ to Israel or its’ embassies …

    Two boys, 12, admit violent disorder during unrest
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c990yn1xkxmo

    ‘Two 12-year-old boys have become the youngest to be convicted following recent disorder in the UK.’

    This headline struck me because we are actually now at the stage where the BBC are celebrating the conviction of 12 year old children for ‘violent disorder’.

    ‘The prosecution said the boy, who also cannot be named for legal reasons, was seen in footage handing a rock to another youth during the disorder and was part of a group attack on a bus.’

    ‘District judge Joanne Hirst said the case was “very serious”, adding it was the first she had dealt with of a person “attending both incidents” of disorder.’

    A 12 year old child being singled out and prosecuted like this for handing another youth a rock !.

    Meanwhile black boys ‘too young to be named’ who regularly stab other young boys get ‘basic facts only’ articles which quickly disappear into regions.

    Just try to imagine what these people would be doing if they had absolute power.

    This persecution of the rioters has gone way, way beyond ‘justice’. It is the most blatant of political persecution exactly like what the Democrats did to the Jan 06 protestors.

    How much more can people take before real violence starts ?. I strongly suspect it will be after the American election (especially if Trump wins) and will quickly spread here.

    Meanwhile, having been handed a massive mandate by not very many, Ed stampedes the horses further over the cliff. Doubtless Rowlatt and Capo Hallam in chokey are well happy.

    When I was a kid back in the day, I recall being obsessed with that sci-fi series ‘V’.

    When Starmer gave ‘that’ speech, it made me sick to my stomach. I knew I had felt that feeling before. A terrible foreboding because I really wasn’t expecting that.

    It reminded me of that scene in ‘V’ when Diana extended her jaw and ate that guinea pig, revealing her true self.

    Almost shat meself.
