    Whaaaaah…

    I clicked on another space to see something entirely different, and finished up ‘first’ here!

    I’m so sorry Brissles, i know you always deserve to get here first, but as my laptop is getting silly, I’ve reverted to the ‘mainframe’, so I can do just about anything as long as the varifocals behave…

      I got way laid by slow internet and an even slower PC! Scrobie, you have got another first; it is time for you to have a go at three in a row. Possibly only Snuffy is rooting for you. 🙂 Maybe Brissles as well.

        Snuffers, I tried to come second – as always, but I genuinely did the above, and stared at the screen with a rather lop-sided glance before realising the race had been won!

        I must ring Brissles, if only she’d give me her number…

      Is it a given that socialists wait until someone identifies a possibility to create money and jobs, and then decide to ‘regulate’ the new business, or just try and control the initiative…

      Lefties rarely work to the rules of opportunism, they just want to wait until someone cleverer than them comes up with an idea for a prosperous issue, and then they’re at it like leeches, wanting ‘evidence’ of substance, needing regulation of sorts of stuff they really don’t understand, but are ‘told’ by their gurus. Beeboids are manifest in their absorbance of this cancerous objective.

      (I wrote this much earlier, but as I felt very uneasy about Sucker’s stifling of the private sector these days, I wanted to shell it all out in some place…).

        National pay freezes during the late 60’s early 70’s it was a given that the annual pay increase was somewhat ‘tempered’ by being given a company car. All in sundry, including Office Managers were given a co. car. Until the ‘Righties’ (Ted Heath & Co.) spotted an opportunity: the first of the Benefit in Kind for Co. cars was introduced. So, not strictly “Socialist”.

          I was a very young sales rep’ in the early 70’s working Yorkshire, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire. I was a victim of the company car tax on my humble Hillman Avenger. But was a little peeved to see piles of free coal outside miners homes, a little perk which nobobody could begrudge, but nobody had the guts to tax this as a benefit in kind.

            Yes RP had the same experience in 1970 as a Regional Sales Manager and with a company car against which I paid tax for private journeys, which included getting to my place of work, which was of course ridiculous, as I could many miles away from my HQ on business any day of the week.

          Good point G…

          Most of the companies I worked for included a car, but the bigest ones never seemed to bother about the P11DS back in the eighties!

          When I started with a smaller firm in 1989, we were clobbered by the rules then, and I always had to take a hit on driving to my office an hour away, so I always tried to make calls elsewhere, and get over it that way!

          I guess we were supposed to take away the 72 miles I would have driven, from the business meetings, but somehow, these got overlooked…

          IMHO, Heath was one of the worst PMs we had back then, and his goal was always the – eventual – EU, so sod him twice then!

    After the sad loss of life by people trying to sneak into the UK illegally SirKier has announced an end to the danger….

    From tomorrow he is to start the migration of the whole African and Asian continents populations to the UK. This will by means of a continuous series of first class flights for everyone who wants to come to the UK thus avoiding the dangers of a channel crossing.

    To mitigate any issues of lack of housing, he will move everyone who currently owns a house in the UK to a bench on the local park before handing over their house keys to the newly formed wewillhouseyouall agency who will allocate the house to the new arrivals.

    And you think this could never happen? Fools!

    Educationland is controlled by leftmob, so no surprise that British Science festival in East London will have a exhibition focussing on dividing the world by skin colour
    ie a special exhibition only focussed on black people
    ..Did you know that only around 1% of all professors in the UK are Black?
    There could be multiple reasons for this, but lack of representation and visibility could be part of the problem.

    Black in Science is an interactive AR installation developed by Naida Redgrave from the University of East London.
    It aims to combat these statistics and celebrate the many faces behind amazing research.
    Immerse yourself and be connected to some of the fascinating contributions that scientists of Black African and Black Caribbean heritage have made to society.

    Are they saying this was just a puff piece intended to generate sympathy for Farah in difficult times? Of course no need for Farah’s own company to make this…the BBC would have been more than ready to produce it for him.

    ‘Eyebrows were raised by The Real Mo Farah, the BBC documentary which revealed the Olympic athlete had been trafficked into the UK from Somaliland, as it aired just two years after Panorama revealed accusations of doping by Farah’s former coach Alberto Salazar. Whilst the runner’s name doesn’t appear on the credits, the show was made by Atomized Studios, the production arm of Farah’s PR company Freud Communications. It would take quite a bit of searching to find this out – the BBC credits don’t mention Farah’s name at all. ‘

Number of people actually in thr block that night ‘unknown’ due sub letting and illegal occupancy – number of fraud cases ‘unknown’ .

    I’ve seen no msm coverage of the Muslim occupation of the Oxford and Regents Street areas that took place recently. I only saw it on alternative media. There were no police and no arrests they say but I must say that it was a sickening sight. It was the area once famous for swinging London back in the sixties and seventies. What I saw on those clips was a place I associate with clothes, colour, music and lightheartedness being transformed into a nightmare scenario as hundreds of black clad orcs took over the streets unopposed as they chanted and yelled in the tongue of Mordor.

    I’ll say this for the Guardian this morning, they say what they mean and mean what they say.

    This comes in stark contrast to Tory distractions about Rwanda and bluster about stopping the boats and now Labour snake oil about smashing the gangs.

    There’s no equivocation, no ambiguity, no evasion, in the Guardianista policy solution to our illegal migrant issue – just open up them borders to the world… safe legal routes – ie an open door to the world and his wife.

    Calls for legal routes to halt ‘shockingly high’ death rates on crossings (Rajeev Syal, Diane Taylor, Angelique Chrisafis, Boulogne-sur-Mer, Guardian) – I do hope the Gruan hasn’t overloaded their rather flimsy lead report there – before setting out into the rough cross currents of this debate.

    Six children among 12 dead after boat ‘ripped open’ in the Channel (Guardian)

    Children, eh?

    Five children arrested after fatal attack on dog walker, 80… group of young people in Braunstone Leicestershire… Yesterday two boys appeared in court charged with the murder of a 13-year-old in Oldbury near Birmingham… Last month an 11-year-old child was arrested on suspicion of joining the riots that spread across Britain (Times)

    Don’t expect any detailed explanation of whodunnit from our Ben Ellery Crime Editor over there at the Times. Even ace detective Ellery Queen (there’s one for the teenagers) would find himself stumped in any explanitory investigations by our under-18-year-old legal anonymity reporting restrictions.

    Naturally the gynaeceum that is BBC news staff liked the Guardian for their top pick in their online press review line-up today.

    Just like David Cameron and Theresa May before him, our Sir Keir finds the softly-softly makey-nicey approach to the EU tends to end in a snubbing…

    Starmer’s shout out for bands touring Europe falls on deaf ears in Brussels (FT)

    As is often the case that overloaded FT headline reads rather akin to a crossworld puzzle clue.

    Speaking of word games – yurt is famously a valid word in Scrabble – worth 7 points…

    Mongolia visit Putin defies arrest warrent… with Mongolian counterpart… in a traditional yurt in Ulan Bator’s state palace yesterday (FT)

    Sonny Curtis of the Crickets originally wrote the song “I Fought the Law” (and the law won) as more recently popularised by the Clash in 1979.

    Anyway, despite – or inspite of – the wonderful invention that is international law – a fabulous concept so dear to the heart of our present government (and our last): Diplomats seek to de-escalate tensions with Israel… Former Labour minister calls for ban to include F-35s (‘i’) – that’ll be the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning, an American family of single-seat, single-engine, stealth multirole combat aircraft – as opposed to General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon, an American single-engine supersonic multirole fighter aircraft. You will of course perceive the difference – legally permitted export-wise… to a warzone?

    Meanwhile: Ukraine says soldiers among 51 killed in Poltava missile attack… the Poltava Military Communications Institute… More details could not immediately be given due to security reasons (BBC) – sounds like a valid military target then? More details? Sounds as though there’s something sensitive we’re not being told.

    Unconfirmed reports suggested Swedish instructors were among the dead at the Military Institute of Communications at Poltava in central Ukraine (Daily Mail)

    How’s that Nato membership workin’ out fo’ yer, Sweden?

    In fine art news

    With the news: Starmer rehomes ‘unsettling’ Thatcher painting (Spectator); ‘He needs to get a life’ – Grantham reacts to Keir Starmer’s removal of Margaret Thatcher portrait (a welcome debut hereabouts for Lincolnshire Live)

    Well, in the role of your art curator Sir Starmer, Mr AsI has a suggestion for a replacement artwork – something diverse and rather appropriate to the odour currently emblematic of the present Labour government…

    Christopher Ofili, CBE is a British painter who is best known for his paintings incorporating elephant dung. He was Turner Prize-winner and one of the Young British Artists.

    And finally, confirmation – if it were needed – that Britain is now a haven for foreign criminals: BADA BING! Feared Mafia mobsters have moved away from their traditional homes in Sicily and New Jersey and taken up residence in leafy suburban towns like Woking in Surrey (Daily Star)

      In his 2010 memoir, Sir Tony said he always had a passion greater than politics, which is religion.

      That can be keenly felt now.

      When, in preparation for this interview, I spoke to over a dozen people who know him well, including former prime ministers, the word they most frequently attached to him was “messianic”.

      At 71, he retains that zeal. Whether for good or for ill you can decide; but his continued influence around the world, and in 10 Downing Street, is not in doubt.

      https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c36n2gz8k78o

      Use the adjective messianic to describe something that has to do with a messiah, or savior, especially a religious one. In Judaism, a messianic figure is predicted to appear in the future, and in Christianity that messianic role is filled by Jesus Christ.

          “The Party that bought the national minimum wage and bought equality back to this great country by giving the people its voice again, he hoisted the NHS from the depths of degradation the tory government had left it in just like many of our other great public services, i’m not disputing he was an idiot for getting involved in the iraq war but he did so many good things for this country that was on a lead from a crippling Conservative government for so many years, Just what we needed at the time not old fashioned Conservative politics.

    Or, of course, maybe it’s just the same plain old BBC racist double-standards we see every day.

    As expected the globalist establishment in Germany is seeking to form a coalition with the ‘leftist’ BSW to keep the largest party AfD out of power in Thuringia.
    The BSW is not a typical leftist party and has a strong nationalist element to it .( National Socialists in Germany !) The globalists must be getting desperate to form such an alliance. BSW and AfD have much in common and if they join forces they are close to a majority. It must be the way forward and if it does happen the Globalist EU will collapse.
    I use ‘leftist’ in inverted commas because the old left right spectrum as a descriptor of politics is obsolete . A much more appropriate spectrum or descriptor being globalist/ nationalist .
    The West is controlled by globalists and they find that most ‘leftists’ have a strong internationalist streak ( not the BSW) and so are much more compatible with globalism than are patriotic nationalists.
    So we see nationalist parties , despite winning most votes, being locked out of power by coalitions . This has happened in France and now in Germany and to an extent in Holland and Italy where nationalists have had to abandon much of their agenda in order to get into power in a coalition. In the USA Trump May not be ‘allowed’ to win by the globalists masquerading as Democrats.

    The far right tag is used by the globalist MSM because it still frightens off some voters and allows governments to act illegally against nationalist parties. The far right tag is of course nonsense as it applied to parties with very leftist economic policies but patriotic homeland first foreign and cultural policies.

    In the UK Globalism has created the Uniparty of LibLabCon robbing the voters of choice and led to the creation of the patriotic nationalist Reform . Reform is now going to receive the full force of attack from all elements of the globalist Uniparty and MSM for the next 5 years. The stronger the attacks the more the globalists fear them.

      War declared!

      ………………

      Today the BBC journalists Michael Keohan and Colin Campbell released a shocking report on the channel crossings. It showed people smugglers selling their wares brazenly in the migrant camps and many children living in unsafe and dangerous conditions, as well as—this is breathtaking—a free French public bus service that migrants can use to travel directly from the camps to the Dunkirk departure beaches. Will my right hon. Friend allow a statement on the issue of tackling the small boat crossings and the Government’s response in their work with France?

    And, increasingly, the smugglers use violence too. Stones hurled at police on the beaches. Sometimes knives brandished too.

    He did condemn the smugglers, but most of his comments focused on the lure of what he views as Britain’s loosely regulated job market, that acts like a magnet, drawing young Eritreans, determined Sudanese, Afghans, Syrians and Iraqis to this coastline, convinced that they if they can just make it across this last, short stretch of water – or even half way across – they’ll end up in a country where they can find work, even without the right paperwork.

    No…it’s first and foremost they know that they’ll get free everything if they can make it to our shores. They know they’ll almost certainly never be forced to leave and that it can take maybe 10 years to get through the process to claim asylum here and in that time they’ll be paid for and treated on the NHS and probably have kids and thus never be deported.

    And of course it’s not as if illegal, or undeclared, work isn’t part of the French economy…so they could get illegal jobs there as well as in the UK…so not the draw the BBC claims…

    ‘11.8 % of total labour input in the private sector in France was undeclared ‘

    The BBC just doesn’t want to admit that the migrnats are primarily here because they know they will get free handouts and they won;t have to work if they don’t want to.

    Guido….

    ‘Out-of-work migrants are costing the taxpayer an eye-watering £8.5 billion a year, according to a new report from the Centre for Migration Control. This comes as ONS figures reveal a record 1,689,000 non-UK nationals are either out of work or simply not bothering to look for a job. And that excludes students and asylum seekers…’

    Can’t be long before the BSW are in the BBC’s naughty corner for Far-Right Fascist types….

    ‘The rise of ‘left-conservatism’’

    ‘When the BSW first arrived on the political scene, the great hope of the elites was that it would splinter the anti-establishment vote, helping to put a lid on the seemingly inexorable populist revolt. But Sunday’s elections have shattered that illusion. Instead, the BSW has broadened the populist base.

    The BSW gets its name from its founder and leader, Sahra Wagenknecht, formerly a leading figure in the Left Party (Die Linke). She left last year out of frustration with its abandonment of the working class and its embrace of what she calls ‘lifestyle leftism’ – that is, an obsession with identity politics, consumption habits and political correctness. Instead, she argues for a ‘left-conservatism’ – a mixture of redistributive economic policies and more conservative, or at least anti-woke, social policies.

    She and her voters are repelled by a left that seems more interested in chastising workers than winning them over. ‘People don’t like being told by politicians what to eat, how to talk, how to think’, she says. ‘We want to meet people where they are – not proselytise to them about things they reject.’ Voters resent feeling like they have to ‘apologise’, she argues, for expressing their views while being ‘straight’ or not coming from a ‘migration background’.’

    Sounds pretty much like the hated Reform here…and that ‘lifestyle leftism’…isn’t that the ‘cultural Marxism’ that the Left were so desperate to deny existed or tried to dress up criticism of it bizarrely as anti-Semitism? Is the Guardian saying Marxism is a Jewish plot then? [As the BBC ironically claims criticising globalisation is anti-Semitic because so many billionaires are Jewish…thus itself continuing that old anti-Semitic trope of rich Jews running the world.]

    So Rayner wants to end right to buy, I’d like to know how many houses that will free up? As far as I can work out the house, with inhabitants will still exist after it’s bought so there’s a net zero change to the UK housing stock. Rayner was of course a beneficiary of Right to Buy.
    As far as can determine Rayner is virtue signaling her anti Thatcher/Tory credentials.
    What an ignorant left wing hypocrite Rayner is.

    Right to Buy was far too generous initially, I accept that and it was wrong. There were many benefits to the scheme which did generally raise the quality of life in Council Estates because people who bought in most cases looked after their properties.

      I suspect the reality is that the best stuff was bought decades ago and it is a symbolic -stupid – thing for her to do – particularly how she benefitted from the scheme.

      Morality these days seems elastic – once upon a time someone of the Far Left like her wouldn’t have been morally allowed to buy like she did .

      I do wonder if anyone in her party will raise this with her but somehow I suspect the are still eager to get government jobs

    It is remarkable how they can absolutely believe the lie as they write the complete opposite that disproves the lie…..the Guardian denying cultural Marxism exists…it’s a barmy Far-Right conspiracy theory…

    ‘The culture war that so defines current debates between the left and right sides of politics has its history in the barmy theory of ‘Cultural Marxism’

    What are they talking about? The tale varies in the telling, but the theory of cultural Marxism is integral to the fantasy life of the contemporary right. It depends on a crazy-mirror history, which glancingly reflects things that really happened, only to distort them in the most bizarre ways.’

    Except er….in the next section they describe exactly what Cultural Marxism is…as accused…lol….it does exist…as we all know…Cultural Marxism…otherwise known as The Great Reset [which the BBC denies is happening]….

    ‘When the socialist revolution failed to materialise beyond the Soviet Union, Marxist thinkers like Antonio Gramsci and Georg Lukacs tried to explain why. Their answer was that culture and religion blunted the proletariat’s desire to revolt, and the solution was that Marxists should carry out a “long march through the institutions” – universities and schools, government bureaucracies and the media – so that cultural values could be progressively changed from above.

    Adapting this, later thinkers of the Frankfurt School decided that the key to destroying capitalism was to mix up Marx with a bit of Freud, since workers were not only economically oppressed, but made orderly by sexual repression and other social conventions. The problem was not only capitalism as an economic system, but the family, gender hierarchies, normal sexuality – in short, the whole suite of traditional western values.’

    https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/jan/19/cultural-marxism-a-uniting-theory-for-rightwingers-who-love-to-play-the-victim

    So yes…Cultural Marxism exists and is being implemented and imposed right now.

    And ‘Marxism’ itself? ‘It all sounds pretty reasonable’ says the BBC…..

      Gramsci is now central to our political culture; not through the ballot box but through marxist ‘democracy’. When all the cultural norms have been destroyed does the hegelian dialectic become relevant and is civil war the synthesis. One or two in our government bubble might do well to consider the risk.

      I vary from this because it looks like the firebrigade has learnt how to deal with medium sized tower blocks … how would they deal with ‘the shard ?’

      Anyway – back to my over arching theme – the tedious ( word used again ) and the ritual of mock anger or distress together with loud MPs playing out their games ….

      I once worked on a fairly high level government project which involved talking to opposite numbers in other countries . I went into one office and met my opposite number . He rolled his eyes at me and pointed at a tray on his desk which was full of papers . He said to me ‘ don’t you people ever stop writing reports / inquiries ? ‘ and meant it . That was probably 30 years ago – I think this are even worse now …

    A NEW TERM IN PARLIAMENT…..AND NO MORE SLEEZE..

    There are those who are critical of the “new” government, some say that there are hypocrites at large in both Houses of Parliament.

    But ….what about non-politician (ex-civil servant) Sue Gray ?

    The fact that she has a role may point to the reality of this government’s approach to life more generally.

    GRAY , you will remember was Director general of PROPRIETY and ETHICS in the Cabinet Office 2012-18.

    She was appointed in 2022 to head the inquiry into “parties” in Downing St during covid….interestingly Simon Case, her boss couldnt do the job..Why?…Well he had held a party during this period, so he ruled himself out!

    The next time she hit the headlines was when she landed the job with Labour and the enquiry into how that had come about which followed.
    By May 2023.. Gray came to notice again ,as she was refusing to co- operate with the enquiry, thus delaying its conclusions, which when they finally came found that she had broken the “rules” by having talks with Labour.

    All very curious , for someone with such detailed knowledge of PROPRIETY and ETHICS. But l suspect l may have misunderstood something.

    It seems to me that it won’t be very long before Ms Gray is spoken of as a national treasure , that usually confuses enough people to curtail a whole raft of criticism. We know that Sir Keir thinks very highly of her and of course her son, who found himself elected in a Labour seat in the recent election and is so capable and gifted that he is already a parliamentary private secretary in the Dept of Transport. He has been a bit unlucky though, because he apparently accepted a donation of £4,000 from Britain’s largest train drivers union , just before that “big,big” pay rise was announced by the very Department he works in.

    However, having heard so much from Labour about how much they hated SLEEZE and wanted to see the end of it , we can all rest easy , the matters I have referred to merely look bad , nothing more and we can look forward to a different style of Government, otherwise we will all be so very disappointed….won’t we!

    And finally …has any of this ever been reported by the BBC….?

        I actually think ticket touting is an ultimate expression of free enterprise and entrepreneurship. The whole of the music industry is Capitalism defined. There is a chain of businessmen mostly Jewish financiers involved in putting on a concert tour like the one Oasis are doing. Without them the tour would not happen. They all take a cut, tickets are block sold to those with the Capital to underwrite the tour costs and re-sold with profit to other agencies. In effect the whole thing is large scale ticket touting.
