Whoohooo, well done Brissles, Jimmy Greaves woul have liked that bit of ‘goal-hanging’. Back of the net. Well done!
Well done Brissles, I must have been asleep.
Well done that Gal!
It’s because you’re worth it Brissles!
I’m polishing the Diana .117 Airgun as we speak…
Fed, I agree. BBC bias is written in to the BBC’s scripts!
Just been reading about TTK’s interview with LauraK on the Beeb’s webshite and came away with the conclusion that his easy out will be to blame the Tories for the next five years. Trouble is the Beeb won’t disagree with that…
C_M, problem is the UK public – the voting public – will quickly tire of hearing that old line and will vote according to their bank accounts or ‘pocket books’ as the Americans call their wallets and purses!
Cooper_Man
I blame the useless Tories for not sorting out the Beeb in all the years that they were in power.
Vote Reform next time !
Don’t get fooled again.
Haha Taffman – in office, not in power!
2 hours of Musk talking with Trump (Last Month)
Oh Noes !!!
Quick… fact check !!! pronto!
Did they listen to it in an unbiased way or just pounce on anything they thought might fly with the management?

Did they find anything of substance?
Any follow up?
crickets……………………………..
It would be interesting to know how many Labour Ministers have BBC facebook friends.
Kuenssberg is friends with at least one. I suppose it could be argued that contact via facebook is a valid way of BBC reporters being in touch with senior Politicians. However the idea that they are “friends” could be considered as prejudicial to being unbiased.
Starmer’s going to end up “Billy no Mates”?
I get the feeling a ju-ju doll with a selection of sharps might sell well?
But pensioners don’t vote Labour, so there are few votes to lose. It’s not a tough decision at all, its vindictive payback time.
Sluff, think you are right. Starmer was in the Shadow Cabinet when the Conservative Government under Teresa May (who?) was thinking of ditching the WFP but increasing the State Pension to compensate. The Labour Shadow Government commissioned a report that stated 3,000+ (rounded up to 4,000 by the Daily Fail) needless deaths would result among pensioners.
We all know, except the BBC and the AGW/CC fanatics, that cold kills more elderly than extreme heat. That would seem to indicate that Labour wanted to kill off Conservative voters and reduce the State Pension bill at the same time while risking the extra burden on the NHS of frail, elderly patients wheezing out their last breaths in a hospital bed that is needed for a cancer patient.
Stupid is as stupid does.
What TTK has not realised is that most elderly people have families and that granny or grandad is loved and respected by their children and grandchildren who may have voted Labour but when they see what Labour has done to their parent or grandparent, may never, ever vote Labour again. Oooops!
And don’t forget, Sir Kier is a man who couldn’t afford his own spectacles.

Riot – 1)Where 12 or more persons who are present together use or threaten unlawful violence for a common purpose and the conduct of them (taken together) is such as would cause a person of reasonable firmness present at the scene to fear for his personal safety, each of the persons using unlawful violence for the common purpose is guilty of riot.
George Floyd Riot – mostly peaceful!
Not directly BBC related.
A few weeks ago I visited an unusual village in Scotland, called Inverie. It has some narrow roads and tracks but they do not link in to the main road system so is accessible only by boat.
It is a socialist nirvana. It is run by a ‘foundation’ on behalf of ‘the community’. The pub and shop are ‘community’ owned. The ‘community garden’ produces fruit and veg sold in the local shop,
What I noticed was the outrageous high prices of goods in the shop and, for that matter restaurants, tea room, and accommodation. They are way above normal supermarket prices. In other words, only the well-off middle class can afford them. The poor certainly cannot. Those on minimum wage cannot. Oh, the irony. The ferry across is subsidised by other taxpayers, as no doubt was the village hydro-electric scheme and recently installed radio/ phone mast.
This Socialist nirvana only exists because of the subsidy and support provided by the middle class. It cannot exist by its own efforts.
A telling example of the inherent failure of socialism. Does SirKier care?
Yes, it was Mrs Thatcher that said, “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.”
Very apt…
Anywhere near Findhorn perchance?
I suspect not.
But I’m sure Findhorn is entirely self-financed and not supported by the taxation of others.
Hahahahaha.
Sluff, Invererie or Inverurie?
I don’t read too much into the Glasgow Syrians video doing the rounds.
We know that actual machete fighting happens dozens of times per week in UK now.
The vid is supposed to Saturday night on Dumbarton Rd
There’s not much info to corroborate the date, except for 3 Twitter complaints about fireworks noise that night.
The 2 minute clip shows Syrians with Palestinians flags pulling up taking both lanes of the road, letting off a load of fireworks
Then 2 different ones pulling out larges swords and waving them on top of telephone boxes etc.

Last week’s video about Grenfell is back up
(The Hillbilly Halfwit one) .. https://youtu.be/EuwTFDOw8C0
A comment
“I spoke to s.one who had a friend who went in the building after the fire to fix it up. He told me the police confiscated all their phones as they left.
They got them back later but they thought it was really weird.”
“Jun 23, 2017
Grenfell fire began in Hotpoint fridge freezer model FF175BP that was not subject to recall, police say http://bbc.in/2sxu0sC ”
People in the comments had said that seems unlikely and there was talk of an oil drum BBQ
They said Youtube then deleted such comments
Another person said there was soething about gas pipes being on the outside of the building
(I’m guessing such pipes are easily isolated when a fire chief gives the order)
Others asked why the iquirt didn’t mention severe overcrowding caused by illegal subletting
Youtube keeps pushing this story at me
“UK journalist under house arrest on terrorism charges”
saying terrorism police had come in heavy, ransacked the house
Sounded like a new Tommy Robinson
but we you check you find Sarah Wilkinson is known for her anti Israel activism and praise of the big Hamas attack etc.
“After a huge outpouring of anger at the violent arrest of journalist Sarah Wilkinson for speaking out on Gaza, the police have dropped most of her draconian – and potentially life-threatening – bail conditions.”
They had said she couldn’t touch any electronic device including a phone apparently
Her son has been running her Twitter account
but she is back on in with a 1pm Sunday video
discussion : https://youtu.be/fQlLfYsxBWQ?t=1742
Definitely not the new Tommy Robinson…he never got these headlines in the Mirror…
‘A worrying sign of Britain’s deepening authoritarianism’
Biden’s spent 48% of his time as POTUS “on vacation”
His mind is vacant 100% of the time.
Which reminds me of the opening line of ‘Pretty Vacant’
‘There’s no point in asking you’ll get no reply’
It somehow works.
Whatever you think of the Letby case and the fact that many professionals and experts think it is not as clear cut…
‘…a growing number of experts have been raising concerns about her trials, claiming that vital evidence may have been misinterpreted.’
…it’s remarkable how adamant some are in the broadcast media that she is absolutely 100% guilty beyond all doubt and anyone who says otherwise is completely mad….strangely it’s usually the men…a male BBC health correspondent, and Times’ Calum MacDonald and Adam Bolton for instance….almost aggressively hostile to any idea Letby might be innocent.
Their main stick to beat the doubters with is that ‘you had to be in court…you had to see the evidence’….but that’s not a point they make when questioning so many other legal judgements and in any case…the evidence is out there for all to read…or are they saying their reporting has been incomplete and partial?
Just odd.
Pug
Yes – the problems of the adversarial system and jury trial . It’s a lottery – where only the £legal mafia £ really win – see the political disorder cases …. Best avoided – like plod .
The red flag for me is when David Davis was quoted $100k to get the court transcript.
Until the transcript is released this was a secret court. I have been in a show trial in the Tony Martin case. They pack the audience and the jury with ‘right-think’ people I kid you not.

Atlas:
I believe you. Tony Martin definitely acted in self-defence. There is no telling what the gypsy burglars would have done to him. His only “crime” was to possess a shotgun without a certificate.
The 11-1 innocent verdict of the Colston four was two fingers to law abiding citizens. In statistical terms the outcome was highly unlikely and suggests that the jury was not randomly selected.
One law for good people and one law for bad people, or was it just chance?
In general, being the polar extreme of Adam Boulton is the position to be in.
Gravitationally, for most of the global population it is essential.
A MSM journalist who paid attention and understood evidence in court?
yeah, right………
The Telegraph somewhat optimistically states in relation to an analysis of BBC bias in regard to Gaza….
‘The BBC cannot ignore this evidence of bias’
They should know better…the BBC straight off the bat says…
‘ “We have serious questions about the methodology of this report, particularly its heavy reliance on AI to analyse impartiality, and its interpretation of the BBC’s editorial guidelines.
“However, we will consider the report carefully and respond directly to the authors once we have had time to study it in detail.”’
Going straight in the bin…let’s face it the BBC doesn’t like reports about its bias that are internal never mind external…so much so that they spend hundreds of thousands to keep them out of the public eye…what are they hiding?
Let’s see the Balen report…it was produced 20 years ago….surely it cannot be so explosive that it needs to be kept underwraps ‘for reasons of journalism’, lol, two decades on?
‘The BBC cannot ignore this evidence of bias’

It only takes a camera to change her mind

And she has been checking nearly all the men
She’s playing the media game so (for some reason) we now care what she has to say
She is looking good, for beauty we will pay
She’s posing for consumer products now and then
For every camera she gives the best she can

Speaking of which, by the way, how’s that who blew up the Nord Stream gas pipeline investigation going?
In August 2024 media reported that in June German authorities issued a European arrest warrant for a Ukrainian national suspected of having used the yacht Andromeda together with two others to sabotage the Nord Stream pipeline. The suspect fled to Ukraine in a car belonging to the Ukrainian embassy in Poland. (Thank you Wiki) – despite: Some Biden administration officials initially suggested that Russia was to blame for what President Biden called “a deliberate act of sabotage”… U.S. knew about Ukrainian plot to bomb Nord Stream… U.S. had intelligence of detailed Ukrainian plan to attack Nord Stream pipeline… The CIA learned last June, via a European spy agency… (Washington Post, June 2023)
Remember folks, it’s not a conspiracy theory, if it’s true.
Asiseeit – so there are threats to the ‘international order ‘ are there ? Well that’s good because I don’t see the current ‘order’ do much for the people … maybe there’s a better ‘order ‘ – one which won’t choose to freeze pensioners for a lousy £2 billion – which will now be going to the third world ….

Obesity prevalence was high across all occupational groups including: among nurses (25.1%, 95% CI 20.9% to 29.4%); other healthcare professionals (14.4%, 95% CI 11.0% to 17.8%); non-health-related occupations (23.5%, 95% CI 22.9% to 24.1%); and unregistered care workers who had the highest prevalence of obesity (31.9%, 95% CI 28.4% to 35.3%). A logistic regression model adjusted for sociodemographic composition and survey year indicated that, compared with nurses, the odds of being obese were significantly lower for other healthcare professionals (adjusted OR (aOR) 0.52, 95% CI 0.37 to 0.75) and higher for unregistered care workers (aOR 1.46, 95% CI 1.11 to 1.93). There was no significant difference in obesity prevalence between nurses and people working in non-health-related occupations (aOR 0.94, 95% CI 0.74 to 1.18).

You have awakened an old fear which was promulgated when Gordon Brown was busy trashing the economy and creating quangos and charities to keep sucking at the public purse as soon as he was kicked out.
It a memory of Guido’s campaign against ‘The Sith’, (not the Synth – Kraftwerk), and these shadowy figures were all taking up their positions to screw the UK Inc., whatever government was going to take power!
We’re certainly seeing the results of this scandal nowadays, with idiots, (but very wealthy idiots), making millions from the taxpayers’ money to pay for their bloated charities and manic obsessions with the non-existent ‘climate change’ scam.
Guido and many others saw it all coming, and so here we have it now!
The Sith is with us still…
Morning all.
Not biased BBC related as such but a story on their webshite that has triggered a thought.
A woman who adopted a child in Scotland in 2014 who turned out to have an unmentioned severe condition had to give the child up. She has just won a ‘six figure’ damages settlement from ‘the council’ (which is of course the council tax payer).
Do the courts and public authorities have any idea of the ludicrousness of some of these telephone number payouts? Especially though not exclusively when the taxpayer foots the bill? Do they give a toss?
For instance how much would you have to earn to be able to save say a round £2000 per month. An awful lot I suggest, way over average earnings. Heck even a train driver might not be able to afford that level of saving. But let’s say £70000 a year.
Not many earn that kind of money and to be fair most that do work hard for it.
So working with that level of skill and endurance for 10 years, you might save £240,000 (Labour would of course regard you as rich and want you to pay extra tax on this)
A damages payout of £1m thus equates to a nest egg of a typically professional person with skills who has worked solidly for 40 years. It is way beyond the reach of the vast majority. Do even the Post Office Subpostmasters or Infected Blood scandal victims deserve this level of public largesse? Possibly. But they are at the top end of justification. What about families of the bereaved at Grenfell? Or those ‘traumatised’ by seeing the fire from down the road? Or the firefighters that….errr…….did the job they were paid to do?
This is the context the courts and public authorities should consider when making awards. But they don’t. Because they don’t have to pay for the results of their decisions. We do.
Councils normally pay compensation to employees they want to sack. Because Employment Tribunals are expensive for the employer it’s easier to pay compo even for totally incompetent employees. It’s particularly prevalent in the public sector because the public sector Unions have a stranglehold on Councils and of course, it isn’t their own money.
Biased BBC did a fair job reporting child malnutrition in Afghanistan this morning.
But strangely they just could not quite join the dots from there to the government in charge and the religion that defines them. I wonder why not?
Presumably because the evil capitalists of the West are just not sending in enough aid cash.
“Johnson and Carter both argued that the intervention in Afghanistan had helped foster fundamental changes in the country, citing improvements in access to electricity, water and education, with 8.2 million more children in school.”

“Bacha bāzī (Persian: بچه بازی, lit. ’boy play’)[1] is a practice in which men (sometimes called bacha baz) buy and keep adolescent boys, or dancing boys, for entertainment and sex.[2][3] Pederasty is a custom in Afghanistan and in historical Turkestan and often involves sexual slavery and child prostitution by older men of young adolescent males.[4][citation needed]
According to German ethnographic research, the phenomenon is over a thousand years old. As far back as the 9th or 10th century, the mountainous regions that are now northern Afghanistan were known for this practice.[5]”

I hope that the media, possibly the Daily Mail, will publish a complete list of how the MP’s vote on Labour’s winter fuel payment bill.
Then, every pensioner (and probably those soon to become pensioners) can show those that do not oppose the bill, how they will vote the next time.
Every MP voting for this bill deserves all that’s coming to them.
Maybe they will decide like FOIs on BBC antics (and more crucially, Home Office visits to Curry’s), such stuff the public really needs not to be bothered with?

BBC webshite front page story
‘Jacqueline Wilson ‘delighted to be viewed as gay icon’ after coming out’.
She actually came out in 2020.
So. Is this news? Or yet another pro LGBTqwerty BBC agenda item, from its overly LGBTqwerty staff?
In other news. Millions of people admit to being straight.
Thought it was back in the 70’s?
2020 ? Blimey you only had to look at her years ago to realise she batted for the opposition.
Jacqueline Wilson is one of the people that the BBC just seems to
have a ‘thing’ about. The miserablist poet Michael Rosen is another and then there is that blushing flower of womanhood, Miriam Margoyles.
“Dame Jacqueline Wilson DBE FRSL is an English novelist known for her popular children’s literature. Her novels have been notable for tackling realistic topics such as adoption and divorce without alienating her large readership. Since her debut novel in 1969, Wilson has written over 100 books.”
I find this article on the BBC website a bit strange to say the least.
They first describe how a lady managed to stop using her mobility scooter after starting to take medical cannabis….
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c87g5qjz8jxo
Then they move on to a mention for an outfit called Curaleaf who supply private medical cannabis and currently are advertising on some TV channels.
Then even more strangely they move on to a story about a young chap who has opened the first medical cannabis consumption lounge. It then transpires that this bloke is the son of the lady mentioned earlier.
I am at a loss to understand this preoccupation with cannabis by our National Broadcaster really!
Wait until they find out Errol Flynn’s preferred method of sampling coke.
I caught a bit of Kuenssberg’s interview with Starmer. He’s worried about the rise of the far-right and is convinced the answer is ‘delivery in government’, and delivering the change. On the winter fuel payments — he’s willing to make unpopular decisions to deliver the change.
I remember his predecessor was fond of repeatedly talking about delivering for the British people to the point it became a sort of Swindon Regional Manager (hat-tip to AISI) background white noise.
Same uniparty managerial sloganeering bereft of insight. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Rishi – the opposition – says he has renewed his Green Card.
Very sad that TTK conflates objection to the invasion with racism – it’s not the same thing – but I suppose Sue gray has told him he needs to keep feeding the Far Left beast before he gets outflanked by kamela – sorry – I meant ginger scum …
Everyone is keen on delivering change.
Turns out the LGBTetc endpoint requires ‘liberation’ and changing society. Who would have guessed it wasn’t just about equal rights after all?
No equality = superiority!
Equal LGBT+ rights are not enough.
Equal

So non-equal rights?

Remember: Diversity is our strength.
I was surfing through youtube the other evening (I must get out more) and I noticed a lecture entitled “Why is there only one species of human? Watching the video above, I’ve realised that the question should be “Is there only one species of human?”
These people are not the same as us, there are three, maybe four or more, distinctly different sub-species. Other species, such as the fine example above, are not like us. For years people like the bbc have spouted bollocks like “diversity is our strength.” The blacks in apartheid regimes are not held down, disadvantaged and exploited. They merely revert to type when left to rule amongst themselves. It’s a mistake to keep spouting the multiculti myth that we can all get along just fine.

When people point out that very rich people do not need the winter fuel payment they often say something like Mick Jagger has tens of millions so why should he get this £300.
Mick must pay £millions in tax so £300 back is nothing to him
It’s a tiny price to pay him when you compare it to what he pays to the treasury.
If he pays £1,000,000 a year in tax then when you take the wfp off it’s a measly £999,700
The same goes for the rest of those very rich people who get this payment, they pay in a fabulous sum and get very little back.
These same rich people pay for their children’s state education yet will send them to private schools meaning they pay for something they don’t use.
Labour don’t like successful people, they can’t control them.
Exactly EG!
Means testing means those that pay in never get anything out.
Those that pay nothing in get everything out, with little incentive for self-improvement.
But they do get a vote. To rake in even more cash from others. And now they are in the ascendency. Be afraid.

He took the LA mansion off the market a few weeks ago which has caused dissent between him and the missus – keep up MM !
HA HA HA! Rod Stewart will fill our Road Holes up!
“Rod Stewart’s pothole-filling campaign pays off as council promises him new road that won’t damage his Ferrari. Sir Rod Stewart has won his battle to fix the potholes near his home in Essex after complaining they were damaging his Ferrari.13 Aug 2022”
MM, Rod Stewart has been back in the UK for some time?
He d do well staying in the US .. even with obama as president it’s got to be better than Englandistan …
They never go back to Scotland.
MM, thought Rod Stewart lived in Essex and complained and campaigned about the poor road maintenence there. Is your source up to date?
He does. He also has his LA mansion which his wife wants to sell so they permanently live in the UK
MM should get his up to date articles on slebs from weekly magazines, not some obscure websites or out of date BBC info.
THE STRUGGLE IS REAL COMRADES … 30 ROOMS … “The Duke of York will have to pay his own costs for the upkeep and security of the Royal Lodge mansion in Windsor if he is to remain living there, the BBC understands.
Substantial subsidies from King Charles III and the Royal Family are not going to be available indefinitely for his accommodation in the 30-room house in Windsor Great Park.”

Asos shoppers hit out at new £3.95 returns charge
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ce9zlrmp2y7o
Some customers received an email over the weekend saying they had been identified as having a “frequently high return rate”
Sounds fair then bbc! A business is there to make money, not subsidise the people who take the p
Blimey.
Even the Have Your Say webshite contributors think the BBC victimhood agenda has gone OTT on this one.
A good example of how the BBC is totally divorced from and out of touch with its remaining viewers, listeners, and readers.
“If you’re a serial offender of buying large volumes and returning everything at the cost of the retailer then this seems fair.
If you don’t like it then go back to high street shopping and try stuff on in-store.”

andyjsnape – maybe Starmer can arrest those who complain about the returns? HA HA HA HA HAHA !
We have an infitinte spectrum of policing … ha ah a haha
.. equal before the law ….
“Twist, however, brushed off any talk of “two-tier” policing, offering the baffling claim that there are actually an “infinite number of tiers of policing” instead”

Lee Anderson sets a fine example to the Nation by ripping up a BBC extortion letter.
LOL…love to see them rock up at his house…..the BBC woud no doubt make that front page news whilst completely ignoring the claims of anti-Israel [let’s be generous and call it that] bias….can’t see a single mention of it on the website.

A video that needs, er, colorizing…..BBC will have to do a bit of ‘blackface’ on ’em to get that authentically multicultural, multi-ethnic Britain that we know was the real Britain not this white supremacist propaganda……
Look as I might I didn’t see a single black ‘brit’ in the video until we got to the Windrush….no mention of coming here to rebuild Britain and save the motherland…just that they were unemployed in the West Indies and came looking for jobs [the government didn’t want them to come and had to find jobs for them…there were no jobs…just like after ww1 when returning troops had to flog matches on the streets etc]]…and wasn’t he a miserable sod?
Housing was a problem then…homeless Brits lived in old army huts and then prefabs….maybe a solution for the migrants today….live in such accommodation and work here for 5 years and you can apply for a house. Just a thought….or don’t let them flock in here in the first place….and then hand ’em free brand new houses.
Well said Pug. All the time we’re forced fed as to how the Windrush migrants were brought here to help rebuild Britain when in fact it was a different story. Those few sentences should be reproduced in the dailies.
LOl…I hadn’t noticed as I rigorously avoid 14:00 on 5 Live….and if tuned in by mistake rapidly tuned out….
‘Nigal Arthanayake to leave daytimes on BBC Radio 5 Live’
‘His last weekday 1-4pm show will be on June 27th, and will host interviews each Sunday on 5 Live at 8pm from September.
Nihal said: “I’ve got a second book to write and I need some time and space, and do some other things that I’ve always wanted to do.”’
Deep joy…the race-baiting little Tw*t has been vanished….was he sacked from the frontline or did he walk given that being with so many white people made him mentally ill?
However….the drone that is Nagger has been given an extra hour to let her personality shine through and Nigal has been replaced by lefty Chorley from the Times…on the one hand…..at least, you have to hope, Chorley won’t fill every programme with some anti-White, anti-Britain black propaganda as our little friend used to do to ‘rub the right’s nose in diversity’.
And an extra little thought…just why are Asians on the BBC so miserable and dull? Compare the Nagger or Nigal to Aasmah Mir and it’s night and day…she’s lively and fun, even Ayesha Hazarika is better….maybe it’s not white people that make ’em ill but working for the BBC.
I read an article in the Telegraph listing the oncoming problems of private school pupils being forced into the state school system by the Socialists VAT grab…if they can find places…it was looking pretty disastrous…Guido reports Tice…
‘The Reform MP said: “I have a list of 20 schools in Buckinghamshire alone that have no places whatsoever. In Bristol, the City Council is considering buying places from an independent school.” If this happened, it would mean a child attending private school at the taxpayers’ expense, despite having just been there at their parents’ expense. ‘
You couldn’t make it up…but that’s what happens when ideology trumps reality and common sense…shame the BBC doesn’t seem at all concerned.
pug, Socialists always run out of taxpayers’ money. Just thinking back to that 1940s newsreel, my father used to say that a Labour Government here always ruined the UK economy.
Up2
Perhaps that’s why a few people are talking about the UK having to call in the IMF again as tax intakes fall – and the UK defaults on loan repayments as it doesn’t have the oil revenue to fall back on – in maybe 2 years time ….
If people who pay the most IT go somewhere else the UK may well be a basket case …
What does anyone think ?
Fed, Colin Moynihan was on TWatO this lunchtime explaining that the Labour handling of the UK economy would not result in growth. Cannot now remember all that he said. The Montacutie was more worried about him being made a Peer by Liz Truss as PM.
Agree with the scare stories about the wealthy leaving the UK. High tax regimes always do that. I’m old enough to remember the 1950s and 1960s.
Up2 – I can’t do the 50s but I do recall Jim Callaghan doing the ;crisis what crisis act ( or was it healey ?)
I wonder what the great leader will do if the markets do they sums on the UK and decide the economy just doesn’t work without serious public spending cuts / higher interest rates …
I somehow think the Uk hasn’t got any friends in the world – apart from maybe the Chinese …
Btw – the honours list for the great leader is going to run into volumes …
Bristol eh?
This really isn’t going to end well. Those imposing these rules don’t abide by them. Businesses will flee and local taxes will go up to compensate.
tomo, the UK economy depends on the motor car. I live not far from Whitstable on the north Kent coast and go to church there. The amount of cars streaming into Wibble on a nice Saturday or Sunday is incredible. What do they do in the town? Spend money. Buy food and drink. Shop. Buy souvenirs.
The local economy benefits. The UK economy also benefits. Labour: ruin this at your peril.
And eat oysters .. when in season .. and drink that stout I can’t remember anything about. …zzz
