    I must know well over a hundred pensioners.
    None of them are millionaires yet 1 in 4 are millionaires according to lefties.

    I don’t believe these figures.
    Even if some down south are living in houses that may be worth a million, what are they to do, sell them and buy another house. All the other houses have also gone up in price.
    Live in a hotel perhaps.
    These things also cost money. At least your own house gives you security.

    Does every pensioner own their house. What percentage actually do own their home.
    I just can’t believe this 1 in 4 number.
    Up here in the North East there’s hardly any houses worth £1 million and any that are mainly belong to footballers and the like.
    It would be interesting to have these claims fully explained with facts and figures to show what the actual truth is.

    Then – after a lot of scrolling – this one came up where the comment made it all make sense:

    Once the free-press is so absolutely broken, the country is in a dark place. History is repeating itself and the rise of the new Nazis is well under way.

    The midwives who stopped murdering girls and started saving them
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvge858dvl5o

    Only the idiots at the BBC can turn a story about the killing of dozens of babies in India because they are girls into a ‘heartwarming victim survivor’ story.

    The ongoing murder of many more such babies is totally ignored. The BBC don’t care about that : they just want the ’empathy factor’ and maybe an award at the next incestuous BBC taxpayer-funded event.

    One of the many, many things these people do that the BBC ignore when it doesn’t suit their agenda.

    So I heard bits of the debate with the childless cat lady and the real US president.

    The high point for the feminazi-in-chief was when she started pulling on heart strings about wimmin being banged up for various reasons. Most of these reasons she gave would be criminal acts. Her solution was the extermination of an unborn child without any care or understanding that this was an innocent blameless victim.

    I try not to see too much news on the tele’ these days. I find myself shouting at the TV and it’s not good for the old blood pressure. Not at my age…

    However, I did witness a couple of things; Parliament’s vote to end the winter fuel allowance for pensioners…and the sight of gloating prisoners let out onto our streets…some of whom were whisked away in police vehicles to centrally heated hotels. You know, modern Britain often feels like a Monty Python sketch that’s gone badly wrong…

    The constant mantra from the politburo is that our prisons are overcrowded. So…we’re releasing drug dealers, gang members and axe attackers to accommodate upset grannies who put up nasty Tweets following the slaughter of three little girls.

    Starmer has previously warned that upwards of 4,000 older people could die if the winter fuel allowance was ended. He’s ended it, knowing the consequences.

    And he has backing in the media too! The very same people that think it’s a good idea for our pensioners to die from hypothermia are those that also back our policy of accommodating the dinghy dodgers in four star hotels.

    Be kind…

    They stay absolutely immaculate and their clothes always look brand new. I expect the white ones do as well – but we only ever see the black ones.
    Same as all those women soldiers we saw ready to fight in Ukraine. Right up until the war started. Then they all disappeared to be replaced by men with big beards.

      I have always wondered in the UK how they are going to apply the sexual equality act during a period of war. Should the death rate amongst service men rise above the death rate of service women then there would be substantive evidence of the failure to apply the act. No doubt Jolyon would step in at that point and seek judicial review.

    Who voted for all this? – complains our ever-excitable Daily Mail.

    Only 20% of the eligible electorate is the reply, sotto voce.

    The Mail grumbles, on our behalf, about: Starmergeddon… Prisoners soaked with celebratory bubbly as thieves, drug dealers and violent criminals are freed early…

    I thought it was Labour’s promise to soak the rich?

    Angela Rayner: I’m relaxed about the rich… if they pay tax (BBC, October 2022)

    So how does Labour differentiate between the rich and their supposed voters and support base ie working people?

    Labour leader’s remarks indicate savers, pensioners and private service users could face tax rises… Sir Keir Starmer has suggested that millions of Britons are not covered by his manifesto pledge to “not increase taxes on working people”… All those left out of Starmer’s definition of working people (Telegraph, June 2024) – so you can’t say you weren’t warned.

    The Mail’s criticism of the early prison releases continues: One vows he’s now a ‘life-long labour voter’… Another was greeted by friends in a Lamborghini… – that old lag wants to watch out for his hidden stash, our Ms Reeves and her boss evidently regard all savings as ill-gotten gains and will be coming after them this autumn.

    As for the sudden up-spike in the probablity you may now meet an ex-convict in a street near you – I guess trust in former Tory law and order policies just didn’t convince.

    The Mail’s broadside blast concludes with the crescendo: All on the day Starmer’s MPs voted to axe winter fuel cash for 10million pensioners

    As for the lament: Who voted for all this? – one has to counter with… when did we ever get something… anything… for which we voted?

    Well, there was Brexit, I hear you cry. Well, that was akin to extracting teeth, was only partially achieved… and now is well on the way to being reversed.

    The news cycle moves on. If you thought the media hype around the impending Oasis shows was just a tad over-blown – wait until you check your BBC on the Trump Harris debate.

    Or Harris Trump – as the BBC prefers the billing.

    Harris puts Trump on defensive in fiery debate

    Kamala Harris and Donald Trump have had a fiery 90-minute debate in Philadelphia

    Harris said people leave Trump rallies early “out of exhaustion and boredom”

    Do you see what they’re doing there?

    Here’s one for the teenagers… I’m reminded of a controversy back in 1978 over the poster from the movie Grease. Olivia Newton-John’s image appeared on the left of the poster under John Travolta’s name – and vice versa. The explantion was that Travolta was the bigger name and he – the bigger box office star – perforce, got top name billing as we read left to right.

    We welcome TV Tropes [THE ALL DEVOURING POP-CULTURE WIKI] – in a debut appearance hereabouts to explain the phenomena of the: Misplaced-Names Poster taking the example of the movie Morning Glory (no, this is not more fan service for Beatles and Kinks tribute band Oasis) This film tells the story of an upstart television producer who accepts the challenge of reviving a morning show program with warring co-hosts. Starring Rachel McAdams, Harrison Ford and Diane Keaton.

    You look up at the names of the actors, and much to the annoyance of your inner neat freak, the names listed don’t match up with the actors. Why does this happen? Maybe the actor’s contracts stipulate whose name goes in which order (and the actor whose name comes first also has to be prominently in the middle of the poster). It could be that as is the convention for Hollywood posters, the highest paid or top-billed actor is displayed on the poster as the central figure in the image, and all lower-billed actors placed outward; whereas the names of the same actors are arranged in order of prominence from left to right. (TV Tropes)

    Or, in the case of the BBC’s news coverage of the US Presidential TV debate, the fact that the name Harris always comes first could simply be BBC bias against Donald Trump.

    George Peppard in his role as boss of the A-Team (there’s another one for the teenagaers) enjoyed the catchphase “I love it when a plan comes together!”

    And so it is with the BBC as they observe the latest US deep state media manipulation political fix…

    Taylor Swift endorses Harris in post signed ‘Childless Cat Lady’… Taylor Swift endorsed Kamala Harris for president moments after the end of Tuesday night’s presidential debate against Donald Trump (Madeline Halpert and – the wonderfully, proposterously surnamed – Ana Faguy, BBC)

    Win, lose or draw, Kamala has the Swifty insurance.

    I say there’s more than one way to steal an election. More than one way to skin a cat (lady), eh?

I did hear Rosie speak on R4 on, I think, TWatO but maybe her courage failed her at the last moment. She spoke well and some constituents had already contacted her to express disapproval of the WFP measure. Another Labour MP who is currently suspended for voting against the Labour Whip for the ‘Two Child Benefit Rule’ also had her courage fail her at the last moment.

    NOT A GOOD DAY FOR SUE GRAY….

    Yesterday was perhaps not a good day for Sue Greys government ( and her current front man TTK).
    The vote to FREEZE the old went through.but she must be concerned by the sight of criminals giving press conferences at the gates of various prisons, as they were released under her government’s early release scheme.
    Obviously ,not all were available for comment, choosing to jump into a Bentley ,a Lamborgini or whatever and leave the scene (Milipede must be concerned, no criminals being picked up in “good green” cars) but on any view this is not a good look, as the PR men say. On the bright side for her , there was the convict who announced his early release would mean he would be a “Labour voter for the rest of his life”.

    I can’t remember quite what the situation is currently .ln the not so distant past ,it was the case that those in prison lost the right to vote. l have a feeling that the much admired ECHR declared that was some sort of infringement of rights or other, if that is the case , in or out, there’s one voter who will show the rest of us the way to go.. I for one hope he will be a Labour poster boy ,or even candidate come the 2029 election.

    China to train thousands of overseas law enforcement officers to create ‘more fair’ world order

    The forum is part of ongoing efforts by China’s ruling Communist party to position itself as a global security leader. In 2022 China’s leader, Xi Jinping, launched the Global Security Initiative (GSI), which centres China as a facilitator to “improve global security governance … and promote durable peace”.

    Reform Leader Nigel Farage blasted the “extraordinary celebratory scenes” as serious criminals walked free to the sound of popping champagne and raucous cheers – all to make room for rioters and those who said “unpleasant things on Facebook.” Farage didn’t hold back, questioning whether Starmer was aware about the public’s growing “anger” over the blatant “two-tier policing and justice system” in this country. The real Leader of the Opposition…

    I am pretty sure I saw an article earlier which described the historical situation of midwives in India killing unwanted female babies seen as inferior to male babies and a financial liability by some Indian parents and instead have now switched to providing care.

    Just found the link again…

    I am sure Harold Shipman actually provided care to some of his patients from time to time but didn’t really get the same stamp of approval for some reason.

    Not on the anti-Semitic BBC due to anti-Semitism against holocaust survivors by the BBC not reporting about Nuremberg 75.

    I and the international human rights community, the World Council for Health, the Nuremberg Code Society and holocaust survivors lead by Vera Sharav, demand the immediate release of Dr. Reiner Füellmich, a lawyer and prominent critic of COVID-19 measures, who has been incarcerated by Germany since October 2023. Inalienable rights are fundamental entitlements that cannot be transferred, taken away, or denied to individuals. Freedom from arbitrary detention is an inalienable right. Please stand up for truth and justice and join the call to release Dr Reiner Füellmich immediately. Thank you.

    TOADY Watch #1 – the BBC R4 were all over the Harris v Trump debate …..

    …. and needless to say reckoned that ‘Karmarla’ Harris came out the winner. However, the BBC rubbished the claim, no doubt inadvertently, that former President Trump was a Putin supporter by playing a clip of Trump saying he would visit the leader of one side and then visit the leader of the other side and try to bring peace. The BBC have very short memories. Too much TV makes your brain soft, BBC!

    Prior to 2016 the President of North Korea was making threatening noises against the US and against much nearer neighbours such as South Korea. What did President Trump do after he had been officially inaugurated? He visited North Korea and talked to the President of NK and SK and made them shake hands in the DMZ. The BBC forget that former President Trump is a businessman. What do businessmen do? They broker deals.

    Volodymyr Zelensky has called on Britain and America to make a “strong decision” by letting him use long-range missiles deep in Russian land.

    The Ukrainian President made the public call at a conference on Crimea for international leaders being held in Kyiv on Wednesday.

    The conference was attended by David Lammy, the Foreign Secretary, and Antony Blinken, the US secretary of state, who are visiting the city together.

      No mention on the Beeb webshite of the £600M of extra support that Lammy has just announced according to that Telegraph article – I’m sure that news will go down well with all the pensioners due to lose their winter heating allowance. The fact that Lammy and Blinken can still travel to Kyiv to attend such conferences shows how much restraint Russia continues to show despite the constant provocations, but the Beeb would never admit that fact either.

    IMPACT ASSESSMENT … NOT MURDER .. .NOT DEATHS …. IMPACT REPORT …

    “On Tuesday, the government won a vote on its plans to remove winter fuel payments, worth around £200-300, from 10 million pensioners in England and Wales.

    The policy is expected to save around £1.3bn in 2024/25 and £1.5bn in following years.

    Only one Labour MP voted against the measure, but around 20 others appear to have abstained in protest at the cut.

    Outgoing Tory leader Sunak used the weekly PMQs session to demand the government publish an impact assessment of the measure.”

    A mum who went on holiday to Ibiza rather than attending her son’s sentencing for his role in riots has been ordered to pay compensation to the victims.

    Her 12-year-old boy kicked a bus outside a hotel housing asylum seekers in Manchester on 31 July, before joining a mob that targeted a vape shop and threw missiles at a police van on 3 August.

    The 30-year-old mother was ordered to pay £1,200 compensation – approximately the same price as her holiday – and attend a six-month parenting course.

    BBC et al going wild for Harris and rejoicing that she performed better than Trump….allegedly. One notable ‘fact-check’ that you might think the pro-abortion zealots at the BBC would be eager to deploy was when Trump said Walz would allow abortions at any time even right up to just before birth…..hmmm..oddly not a mention…

    ‘On abortion, Trump defended his handling of the issue, saying that Americans across the spectrum wanted Roe v Wade abortion protections overturned by the Supreme Court – a statement that polling does not support. He struggled to make his position clear and his answer was at times rambling.’

    Reason no mention? Could it be because that pretty horrible fact is true….legislation he introduced in his state allows abortion right up to full term….with no legal action against the ‘mother’ nor the people carrying out the abortion.

    The BBC knows that is pretty unsavoury and unacceptable to most and so…hide it and ignore it….you can kill a baby right up until 9 months.

    A similar situation when Farage spoke during PMQs today… and met with a barrage of jeers and abuse…from all those people who represent us…and thus have shown that they don’t give a damn about what we think.

    In the little chat they hold after PMQs the BBC mentioned that Starmer made no comment reference Farage’s ‘rabble rousing’ comments about the riots…now why might that be? We wouldn’t know because the BBC forgot to mention this….

    ‘Jonathan Hall, KC, the independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, warned of an “information vacuum” after the Southport attack that led to riots across the country, and said that lessons needed to be learned.’

    ie Farage was right…no wonder Starmer didn’t want to accuse him of stirring up the riots and the BBC didn’t want to explain things further….they even failed to mention the absue aimed at Farage by just about all MPs by the sound of it….but Guido noticed….

    ‘Every constituency where Reform came second to Labour will now be memed night and day with their MP hooting, “Not only is my grasp of reality tenuous but I call out my constituents as bigots and racists who should be ashamed of their deplorability!”’

    Let’s hope the voters also note that their MPs hate them and their ‘far-right’ views.

    The Nagger added in that ‘of course, Farage seemed a bit quiet [no he didn’t] whereas usually ‘he likes to agitate and stir things up’…..hmmm…that’s pretty sneering and dismissive of Farage’s serious and very relevant points….didn’t the BBC have to apologise a while back for saying something similar?

    Russian interference?

    Makes you wonder how the BBC’s recruitment policy works when another lefty, and white male, is slotted into the schedules….Chorley may not pack his programme with endless claims that Britain is a nasty racist place as Nigal used to do but he pads it out with pro-Labour propaganda it seems….as Guido notes…

    ‘Matt Chorley is making waves in his new role presenting BBC 5 Live. His first interview with Prime Minister Starmer unearthed the explosive story that Keir’s daughter was getting a Siberian kitten, and today he was discussing the ins and outs of the benefits of Labour’s new Renters’ Rights Bill. Chorley brought on the director of Generation Rent, Ben Twomey to heap praise on the new policy. Though the top hack forgot to mention the rest of Twomey’s resume…Twomey stood as the Labour candidate for Police and Crime Commissioner in Warwickshire in 2021. He’s also a long-standing member of the Labour Homelessness Campaign. No surprise that the activist was so supportive of Labour’s plan, then…’

      Starmer’s daughter is getting a Siberian kitten? Siberia is in Russia, isn’t it? Putin is in charge of Russia, therefore Starmer must be a Russian agent!

      Well, hey, it’s just as plausible as the Russiagate hoax which Hillary Clinton, Rachel Madcow and CNN have been promoting for the past 8 years…
