SG, seen post on previous thread of Spring and the whiteboard. The bBC are starting to insult swathes of their tax payers. Hopefully what goes around comes around.

Hey @bbcpress in this BBC article it is claimed that @RachelReevesMP is a “chess champion”. Is this true, what championship did she win? Can you get one of the BBC Verify team to check this is true?
My take is that the wind and solar biz want to be the only game in town
Energy from waste is a big competitor to them
essentially it’s quite green cos plastic comes from the mining of oil and gas
And if you take that plastic after it’s useful life and then safely burn it in high temp incinerators you are displacing the mining of of new oil and gas
I picked up that article in my scan of the bBC webshite. What were their local council doing locating a waste to energy in a part residential area. F…wits. No surprise but the solidly labour council has created the problem. The residents get what they elect.
The fact is that a lot of stuff just cannot be recycled. Any attempt to do so uses more energy than it’s worth, not that the greenoids at the BBC would understand the concept of “worth”.
Let’s look at the controversy over possible National Insurance rise in the Budget.
First things first. It’s not National “Insurance” it’s a Tax. So now we’ve cleared that one up, let’s carry on.
Smarmer in his Election Manifesto and many broadcasts promised there would be no increase in Taxes for “working people”, VAT, Income Tax and National Insurance. It seems though that the intention is to increase Employers NI contribution. Of course he might also have neglected to mention that not increasing allowances is effectively a Tax increase. However………..
Let’s look at National Insurance from both ends of the telescope. From the Employer’s side what they would look at is the cost of employing someone. From an Employees side he/she would look at the bottom line of his/her payslip, the amount of money that he/she receives in their Bank account. So you have the Employer’s cost less Employer’s NI less Pension contribution, less PAYE Tax less Employees NI contribution which equals what goes in the Employees Bank account. So the analysis shows two things, there is intrinsically no difference between Employer’s NI contribution and the Employees NI contribution.
It’s also clear that in reality it’s the Employer’s money that’s paying all the Taxes.
This brings me on to the situation where the Employer is a small business. Small businessmen are working people, they will be paying more taxes for their Employees.
Smarmer/Reeves assertion that working people’s taxes won’t be going up is at best a bit of sophistry.
People don’t realise that employer’s NI is a payroll tax. If it did not have to be paid to the government, it could be paid to them. Calling it “employer’s” NI just hides the fact that it is a deduction from their pay, just like income tax and employee’s NI.
Flotsam – elsewhere – unless I missed it – usually when there is a business ‘summit ‘ a deal is announced which was prearranged so that the PM gets the glory . But was there anything after Monday – there was a letter on Sunday from a dozen big outfits including 6 banks ! Saying Blighty is great – so really empty words ….
Would a top BBC reporter do a story about how hacker baddies have hacked 31 million accounts
and mix up the name with the name of the GOOD org that helps people ?
meet Daniel Thomas Senior journalist @BBCNews

HIBP “Have I Been Pwned” is an org which fights the hackers by telling you if your password has been stolen
They are not hackers…. and their founder is complaining

The BBC has announced it’ll be axing a total of 130 jobs including the whole of BBC Asian Network News 💔
After working there for 2 years I’m absolutely gutted.
A unique & special platform serving British Asian audiences like no other place I’ve ever worked in before.
“BBC News to cut 155 jobs to ‘balance the books’.
Looks like NOT paying the TV Licence is working.”
Internal memo: the BBC plans to cut 155 BBC News jobs, including closing Asian Network News
and the HARDtalk program, to save £24M, or 4% of BBC News’ budget (@danielthomasldn / Financial Times)
OK if you pay 155 workers £10K each that is 1.55 million
so £20K is £3.1 million
So £24m is 8 times that
meaning each BBC worker costs £160K in wages and office costs
Translation of the official BBC Persian tweet
“…
The race between Ms. Harris and Mr. Trump is very close, and the vote of Muslims and Arabs in America,
especially in sensitive states like Michigan, can change the outcome of the election.
A population that strongly objects to the Biden administration’s support for Israel.”
.. https://x.com/bbcpersian/status/1846276057122693630
‘vote of Muslims and Arabs in America,
especially in sensitive states like Michigan, can change the outcome of the election’
And if one of them was a Muslim candidate, they would show their racism and vote for them. No matter how bad.
THIS is the ultimate problem with Muslim mass immigration. They hate us because they are taught that Infidels are inferior from a very young age. They are blatant racists. When the truth finally dawns on the idiot Left, it will be too late.
The problem with Muslims is that they believe ‘Allah knows their heart’. So if they have some warped idea about what to about something (eg stab some Infidels), the law does not matter because Allah knows they have a good reason for doing it.
This is how people like Hamas can commit such heinous atrocities without conscience.
The BBC supporting and defending them on the other hand is entirely different. That really is evil.
I’ve realised that when the Lefties accuse the BBC of being pro-Tory/Israel or whatever, it is always because they are so consumed by hate of those people themselves, they think the BBC are being biased because they are not being biased enough against them.
This is the warped world of hate the Left live in.
Reminds me of a book review by Sopel. One comment was that because of his BBC training, he wasn’t biased enough against Trump.
JohnC – the same can be said of the coming US election . If the Obama ‘fix ‘ fails Trump will be guilty of ‘stealing the election ‘ with the democrats ‘finding ‘ all sorts of ‘irregularities ‘ to paint a picture of an illegitimate president .
Unfortunately , truth be told , the Obama / WEF gang is very good at this stuff – including planting traitors in the Trump camp .
The ‘whataboutery ‘ method and accusing an opponent of the very thing they are doing feature heavily .
Btw – do you notice that the bbc has no interest in the sleaze and corruption of the PM and his crew? No constant daily campaign to demand an ‘independent inquiry ‘ led by sue gray …
The Sue Gray report on Partygate and the consequential toppling of Boris – who the BBC hate because of Brexit – followed by her defection and meteoric rise in Labour is one of the biggest political scandals of our time. It was nothing less than the coordinated removal of a duly elected Prime Minister by an utterly corrupt civil servant, the main opposition party and all in collaboration with the left-wing state broadcaster.
But because those same people now have the power they craved, the whole subject is under the carpet. People should be in prison for what happened.
This is the stuff of third world shitholes. They days when politics involved some measure of ‘honour’ and ‘decency’ are long gone. The title ‘The honourable’ is a complete joke now.
Can’t be long until we find out the last, desperate dirty trick by Team Obama to attempt to discredit Trump. First we had delaying the announcement of a COVID vaccine until after the election. Then we had the ‘hush money’. I wonder what they will do. They are truly desperate now so it could be a biggie – especially when they can use corrupt state agencies to do it.
And I admit I’m highly amused at the false president starting to get unpleasant and bitchy now he realises his time is almost up. He about to become a nobody who is kept hidden away to save him embarassing himself and the Democrats in public.
JC, if I were on the left I would know exactly what to do and I would be complaining every day about bias. I am fed up with hearing the tawdry argument from people who say that because both sides criticise the bBC it must be balanced. It could be if everyone was scientific but humans are not. The employees of the bBC know precisely what they are doing, as they did, for example, when they never reported the Hunter Biden laptop.
The only philosophy of the left is that the end justifies the means.
“Barbra Banda, the Zambian footballer who previously failed a ‘gender eligibility test’ at the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, is among the nominees for BBC Female Footballer of the Year 2024.”
a reply “@BBCSport not only have you put him top of the nomination list,
you’ve put out a blatant propaganda piece about him calling him ‘female’ and featuring a ‘Protect trans kids’ flag!!
This level of propaganda and MISINFORMATION is unacceptable.”

Amazing : the BBC use a BAME female reporter at HMS Belmarsh (69% of inmates are BAME) and HMS Isis (70% of inmates are BAME) and here’s the picture she chooses in the main article:
And just watch the video : the assault is also another whitey, but she pretends to make a phone call to someone from the back of a car. It is absolutely 100% fake. Listen to the voice, it’s an actor. And not a very good one. Notice how his response is always immediate : he already knows what he is going say.
Good old BBC. Dependable racist liars as always.
Here she is. Shame on you Sima.
You have no ethics whatsoever to report the truth. You fit in well at the BBC.
Network Centric Warfare is the best term developed to date to describe the way we will organize and fight in the Information Age,
• NCW is about adopting a new way of thinking to military operations.
• Myth 2**: NCW is all about the network. Actually, NCW is more about networking… about the
increased combat power that can be generated by a network-centric force.
• The power of NCW is derived from the effective linking or networking of knowledgeable entities…enabling them to develop shared awareness…to achieve a degree of self-
synchronization.
• NCW is about human and organizational behavior.
The last point is interesting no? Who do you think this woman works for?
“BBC analysis suggests the burden of the UK’s waste is disproportionately falling on deprived areas such as Runcorn, which are 10 times more likely to have an energy-from-waste incinerator in their midst than in the wealthiest areas.” You dont say bbc! I’m sure the wealthiest would enjoy the chance to live in the area!
Is it just possible that land values are lower in Runcorn, so it is economically feasible to site the incinerator there? Maybe it is a bit cheaper than siting it in Prestbury, next to Wayne Rooney’s mansion?
I realise that basic economics does not come easily to beeboids, who derive their income through the threat of imprisonment for non-payment, nothing so vulgar as providing a product people actually want.
If you can’t think of something nice to say, then say something controversial.
Here goes – I find Angela Rayner extremely attractive. Any woman with long red hair has pretty much got my heart, but she also has great legs and a fabulous figure.
When she wore that green trouser suit, I have to agree that it didn’t suit her. Critics showed pictures of the outfit, worn by a couple of models. It didn’t suit them either. A.R. is shaped like a woman, with boobs and assorted other curves where they should be. That red dress she took to wearing on the campaign trail was downright dangerous.
Would I vote for her? Never. She’s not the best public speaker and her accent isn’t the finest.
You can stick to the springster and her assorted classmates if you like. I’m too old for their kind.
I may do an article on Jess Phillips next, but don’t expect diane abbot to get a mention.
Brissles -dearest – please don’t suggest ms rayner gets a ‘stylist ‘ because she ll stick another £5k on expenses .
Now that she knows TTK has a taste for free Money – bribes – they’ll all be putting their snouts deeper in the trough . If a newspaper was ‘minded ‘ I’m sure a few backbenchers would fall for the honey trap …
I guess I’ll have to forgive her. Please tell me that you aren’t aware of any other hidden secrets? Incidentally I’m sure that one of the core fashion rules is “red and green should never be seen?”
I know it applies to, like a red top with a green skirt, but surely with that hair, anything green is off-limits?
I wouldn’t know, I’m a bloke.
Before any forum policelivingbeing pulls me up, I promise I’ll get back to the bbc now for at least 48 hours of hate.
According to the uncritical BBC, our taxes will have to go up to pay yet more money into the NHS. Today’s sob story is the £ billions needed to fund treatment of the clinically obese, with new injections, social and mental and dietary care.
We didn’t have this issue when I was a lad. Most people who are obese eat too much and don’t burn off the calories. It’s a simple in versus out calculation. Eat less ! Don’t complain. And don’t tax the rest of us for your lifestyle choices.
As for obese immigrants, words fail me.
Stuff
The injection is perfectly safe – there will not be fit 25 year olds falling over dead for no reason . Anyone criticising the jab will be cancelled . Next of kin will be harassed and threatened … a compensation scheme will start in 2030 . The pharma outfits will be indemnified by the state . There will be an inquiry whitewash…
I had to go into hospital recently for a couple of outpatient appointments (Old man routine checks).
My only concern was if I was asked about covid vaccine status. I usually reply that I’ve have all of the vaccines and boosters I need (none) which is of course true. I still daren’t say it out loud, and I don’t know what the nhs response would be.
I’d welcome any advice from similar refuseniks, in case it comes up in future!
Mick – that had never crossed my mind . I used to travel to exotic places so had every jab under the Sun —— but that was probably 20 years ago … I’m after a flu jab but I guess I will be paying £10 for it …
PS boots charging £21 for the flu jab – so pay pay pay …( under 65s and benefits junkies – fat people )
I had the first two Covid jabs, as at that time I had just finished treatment and had follow up appointments for check ups and blood tests etc. and felt really pressured in to taken them. One of the practice nurses who was also very reluctant to have the boosters suggested that it might be a good idea to continue with them, in case future treatment was needed and she feared the practice, could in the future, be issued with a ‘Covid jabbed only’ patient scheme.
The thing is if you want an appointment and ring our local practice you usually have to wait around forty five minutes, after listening to a long winded recorded message of how a wonderful new fast tracked system is now set up especially to save patient and practice time – REALLY??? Eventually, if one of the receptionists has time to answer between coffee breaks, an appointment is offered often for up to three weeks later or longer.
The ironic thing is that when I have attended for an appointment the place is deserted. The sullen faced receptionist who I check in with and have obviously interrupted her from something very very, important, – bit like Irma Grese, she directly points to a row of chairs and orders me to sit and wait. (us patients are such a bloody nuisance) Despite arriving on time I can wait for ten, fifteen minutes, sometimes longer, during which time you can literally hear a pin drop, whilst waiting to be called in to see the nurse.
— However when the time arises for Covid and Flu jabs they couldn’t be more happy to attend to you. they constantly bombard you with emails, text messages and phone calls with the choice of appointments, even for a weekend when they never normally open.
As for been asked directly about my Covid vaccine status I’m a bit like yourself, I am reluctant to give a straight reply. It depends on the health care professional who’s asking. (Sorry not much help) but I certainly won’t be having any more jabs
I am a little concerned though about your comments on Angela Rayner and Jess Phillips. You may be in need of some more old man routine checks before long if you’re not careful.
Who to trust? Surely signing the Hippocratic Oath beats a few quid in the surgery kitty?
I am headed for a double soon, and frankly uneasy. Many have had them together say it’s not fun afterwards. But with a variety of lung issues no choice.
But as you say, the oddly ominous tick box questions suggest further state manipulations.
NW the scenario you describe is the same throughout the land for surgeries.
Today I travelled back in time.
Turning up for the RSVP jab – Respiratory whatever, I faced a FULL waiting room ! something not experienced for getting on for 10 years, when we had a full compliment of 5 or 6 doctors – no housing developments to cock up the system and a telephone call that was answered without 25 options !
Of course we were all there for jabs, and the one nurse on duty was valiantly pricking her way through us all (lol!)

Then says
“Not many people these days know that the British Empire was the driving force behind ending the vast majority of global slavery.
Slavery or de facto slavery was standard practice throughout the world from the dawn of civilization until a few hundred years ago.
It is even discussed at length in the Bible, for example.”

Fixing the foundations: public spending audit 2024-25 (HTML)
Updated 2 August 2024
2.4 Pressures on public spending due to recent events
In addition to pressures from inflation and pay, recent events have increased pressures significantly on public spending since SR21, including:
Military assistance to Ukraine – The UK has committed £3 billion of military assistance to Ukraine in 2024-25 including £1.5 billion RDEL, in response to its invasion by Russia.
FREEZE THE PENSIONERS … Asylum – Asylum seeker arrivals, and the costs associated with supporting them in the UK, have exceeded SR21 forecasts. As a result spending on asylum support has increased seven-fold in the last three years, with asylum and immigration resulting in a pressure of £6.4 billion in 2024-25. The Rwanda migration partnership and Illegal Migration Act would have caused these spending pressures to continue rising even faster than before.
Rail services – Pressures have emerged on rail finances, primarily due to the weaker-than-expected recovery in passenger demand following the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to a pressure of £1.6 billion in 2024-25.
Some interesting polling analysis from the USA which examines voting intentions v consumption of various sources of news.
Those who consume most legacy media are the most likely to intend to vote for Halfwit Harris. Those who don’t use the legacy media are the most likely to vote for Trump.
This effect is seen across a lot of different topics , climate alarmism, support for Hamas Hezbollah Iran , support for migrants , the need to protect democracy , are all more favoured by legacy MSM consumers than non consumers
Their perception that Trump is a threat to democracy and that the Democrats and their Globalists puppet masters aren’t in my view demonstrates how easily people can be manipulated.
There is a lot of good news.
Trump is ahead in the polls. Only outrageous outliers are keeping Harris’s numbers up eg there can be six polls showing Trump a point or three ahead and one single poll showing Harris with a ten point lead but it is given equal weight to the others six which hugely reduces Trump’s polling numbers. These outliers always come from the same sources.
Secondly, the average age of the legacy media consumers is 70 , the average age of the non consumers is under 30!
The MSM is losing control. Probably the best news for years !
I tink the editor of ;time’ came out criticising Harris for refusing an interview – apparently the first presidential candidate to do this since the magazine set up
Naturally the msm isn’t making anything of this . But Obama is using the same technique he used for Biden – not airing the candidate because they are dumb / demented and relying on the fixed vote counts to steal the election again .
And maybe Obama will manage another assassination attempt – there more there are – the less the polls react .
That period 30 October – budget – 5th November – US election – will be ‘interesting times ‘…

The bliss and blessings of unregulated open door immigration as Albanian drug gangs run amok in our towns and cities, Vietnamese drug gangs peddle the weed, East Europeans divert plant machinery to their homelands and Romanians pickpocket and shoplift their way across the country….not to mention the racial tensions and ‘decolonisation’ attacks on Whites.
That’s not including all the other unnecessary crimes that were inflicted upon us and could have easily been avoided if we hadn’t just let ’em all in.
The BBC and fellow travellers hate white people, their society, culture and history so much that they think this crime is an acceptable and necessary part of the Great Reset where ‘Britain’ is erased from history and the future.
I need to correct the record – yesterday I thought that the 3rd anniversary of the murder of David Ames’s by an Islamic terrorist wouldn’t get much of a mention .
Well TTK did mention it at PMQs – obviously leaving out the fact of his murder and the circumstances …. An ex Scottish politician who died in the course of opening a tomato sauce bottle also got a mention ……
“A lifeguard club has unveiled a new rescue boat named in memory of a murdered local MP. The ‘Sir David Amess MP’ patrol boat will be officially launched by Chalkwell Lifeguards Club in Southend-on-Sea at a ceremony later this month.”

BBC: “The court previously heard that Sara was hooded, burned and beaten during more than two years of abuse.
She had suffered 11 fractures to her spine, burns to her buttocks, caused by a domestic iron, and signs of a traumatic brain injury, the court was told.
Prosecutor Bill Emlyn Jones KC previously said a bloodstained cricket bat, a rolling pin with Sara’s DNA on it, a metal pole, a belt and rope were found near the family’s outhouse.

I keep hearing from anxious liberal circles that democracy is under threat, but bribing the electorate with money and drugs doesn’t seem to be a problem. I wonder what the BBC/Guardian etc would say if Reform announced cash giveaways for white people only to develop amphetamine business startups.
Should we celebrate? CPI @ 1.7%. No. Just convenient for the increases in benefits including Pension for next April. The “CPI”, adjustable level depending upon the way the wind blows.
Whereas, RPI, the more accurate measure is, 2.7%. CPI? still a daily drain, trickle by trickle on your pockets but at a lower rate.
Not sure that I can trust ONS anymore after “changing the way excess deaths are calculated”. After a couple of years of many excessive deaths the “new” method of calculation shows none! And they don’t publish the “old” results alongside the new as I would have thought they should have done.
Of course the new, lower CPI is of massive benefit to the treasury and next year’s pensions
Key elements include a formal invitation to join Nato, the lifting by allies of restrictions on long-range strikes on Russia, a refusal to trade Ukraine’s territories and sovereignty, and the continuation of the incursion into the Kursk region of Russia.
The Kremlin dismissed the plan with a spokesman saying Kyiv needed to “sober up”.
Addressing MPs, Zelensky also criticised China, Iran and North Korea for their backing of Russia, and described them as a “coalition of criminals”.
He said he would present the victory plan at an EU summit on Thursday.
Some seven hours after the submission of our complaint we received the following response from the BBC:
“Thank you for contacting us on the BBC News website. I see that David’s Sling was correctly named in the graphic accompanying this article entitled Israel’s air defence systems, but unfortunately the wrong name appeared in the body of the article. This has now been corrected and we apologise for the error.”
The bbc wish to apologise regarding the misprint on the news story about the possible missile attack on the Air India passenger plane which exploded in 1985.
We meant to say “heat seeking” not “Sikh heating”.
The new manager of woke united ( England ) is yet to decide whether to sing the British national anthem . Quite easy – no – because he is German . However the dolt who refuses to sing it now is a different matter . He played for Ireland but was born in Britain . No excuse for him . Good riddance – truly rubbish … ( see Greece match )

If you begin to notice a sudden increase in press reports concerned about swathes of the UK coast being swamped by the sea in a few short years time due to, yes you guessed it…. Climate change….you might, like me wonder where this stuff is coming from,
Apparently there is a new not for profit outfit in the US who are busy creating scare articles to be planted in news outlets in countries they say will be affected around the World.
So news organisations such as the BBC don’t have to research this phenomenon, they are supplied with a tailored narrative specific to their country by this siren factory in the states. Of course, this means free content to such as the BBC so is very likely to be cut and pasted with enthusiasm.
A look at the US outfit reveals that the staff appear to be recent uni and college leavers so it would be interesting to know who is paying their salaries. My money is on either Soros or Gates.

This is on par with the BBC being a hive of warmongering Zionists.
The new admin has been held to almost no account for a deluge of insane polices based on a ‘mandate’ of 20%, rushed in across every Ministerial brief with no thought bar pleasing their ideological ambitions.
I wonder how the swamp is going to react when power is rationed on very cold still midwinter days ? With councils setting up ‘warm rooms ‘? And calls for additional money for heating … ?
I reckon this will definitely happen within the next 5 years ….the Green crap might become very unpopular then …even with the wokes,,

For some reason the RAF is unable to fly the body of an ex Scottish politician back from eastistan . It seems a private flight has a starting cost of £26 000 …. Reports don’t say whether there is a ‘crowd funding ‘ site or whether airoflot ( spelling ) have offered to run the body back to Scotland …. Maybe the Scottish government will get English taxpayers ‘ to pick up the tab …
Sturgeon could have sent the SNP RV down to pick his body up. After all they did not pay for it and it could be put to good use at last if plod release it.
Doc – surely there must be some wealthy Scot nationalist living in a tax haven happy to stump up the cash to repatriate the body and give it a state funeral ?
Just think – in 2 weeks time the reeve budget will be out of the bag . I think the tax take will be above the 40 billion currently being floated …
There will be a long list of tax hikes – many will be too ‘technical ‘ for we ordinary types to understand – I suppose the leaks will come this and next weekend … but don’t worry – the ‘vulnerable ‘ and the benefits junkies will be looked after very well …

Met up with a friend the other day who is very involved with the Church of England. She went on diversity training and has been trained that black people no longer belong an ethnic minority but the ‘global majority’. I have started to hear this expression more frequently (perhaps Black History Month has something to do with it.). I expect the term to be used with increasing frequency on the BBC.
‘The statement says officers were dispatched to the hotel after an emergency call in which they were “informed of an aggressive man who may have been under the effects of drugs and alcohol”.’
‘And then fell off his balcony’ ??.
Clearly a proper scumbag and most likely it wasn’t an accident. But he’s on the BBC”s ‘preferred list’ as he is ‘one of them’ so we will have to wait until the empathy and adolation phase is over before we get some truth.
I am presuming the BBC put ‘Bowen’ at the start of that headline in some kind of feeble attempt to infer that making such an unfounded and outrageous direct assertion is just an opinion.
Then Bowen writes:
‘It even challenges Israel’s long-standing attack on UNRWA, the UN agency that looks after Palestinian refugees.’
It doesn’t ‘look after them’ by stopping Hamas operating from in the middle of them does it Jeremy ?.
And according to the actual information given near the end of the article by this anti-semetic, terrorist-supporter, (presumably because he knows he simply cannot just make assertions like that without some kind of facts to back it up) ‘Challenging Israels attack’ is simply:
‘The US says it acknowledges Israeli concerns about UNRWA, but that restrictions on it would “devastate” the humanitarian effort in Gaza’
That’s not challenging it in the slightest Jeremy. It is ACKNOWLEDGING it. They are just saying there is no alternative for now.
Bowen at his very best. Lying through his teeth to support terrorists with the full weight of the BBC propaganda machine behind him
Time this mad-cow was retired. He is a complete embarassment.

BBC has been running PR for the anti-incinerator cause all day
There’s a long article with open comments
and a lot of criticism of the BBC within the comments/
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cp3wxgje5pwo#comments
My take is that the wind and solar biz want to be the only game in town
Energy from waste is a big competitor to them
essentially it’s quite green cos plastic comes from the mining of oil and gas
And if you take that plastic after it’s useful life and then safely burn it in high temp incinerators you are displacing the mining of of new oil and gas

Let’s look at the controversy over possible National Insurance rise in the Budget.
First things first. It’s not National “Insurance” it’s a Tax. So now we’ve cleared that one up, let’s carry on.
Smarmer in his Election Manifesto and many broadcasts promised there would be no increase in Taxes for “working people”, VAT, Income Tax and National Insurance. It seems though that the intention is to increase Employers NI contribution. Of course he might also have neglected to mention that not increasing allowances is effectively a Tax increase. However………..
Let’s look at National Insurance from both ends of the telescope. From the Employer’s side what they would look at is the cost of employing someone. From an Employees side he/she would look at the bottom line of his/her payslip, the amount of money that he/she receives in their Bank account. So you have the Employer’s cost less Employer’s NI less Pension contribution, less PAYE Tax less Employees NI contribution which equals what goes in the Employees Bank account. So the analysis shows two things, there is intrinsically no difference between Employer’s NI contribution and the Employees NI contribution.
It’s also clear that in reality it’s the Employer’s money that’s paying all the Taxes.
This brings me on to the situation where the Employer is a small business. Small businessmen are working people, they will be paying more taxes for their Employees.
Smarmer/Reeves assertion that working people’s taxes won’t be going up is at best a bit of sophistry.
38 likes
People don’t realise that employer’s NI is a payroll tax. If it did not have to be paid to the government, it could be paid to them. Calling it “employer’s” NI just hides the fact that it is a deduction from their pay, just like income tax and employee’s NI.

OK if you pay 155 workers £10K each that is 1.55 million
so £20K is £3.1 million
So £24m is 8 times that

I’ve realised that when the Lefties accuse the BBC of being pro-Tory/Israel or whatever, it is always because they are so consumed by hate of those people themselves, they think the BBC are being biased because they are not being biased enough against them.

The ‘whataboutery ‘ method and accusing an opponent of the very thing they are doing feature heavily .

Quite Fed.
The Sue Gray report on Partygate and the consequential toppling of Boris – who the BBC hate because of Brexit – followed by her defection and meteoric rise in Labour is one of the biggest political scandals of our time. It was nothing less than the coordinated removal of a duly elected Prime Minister by an utterly corrupt civil servant, the main opposition party and all in collaboration with the left-wing state broadcaster.
But because those same people now have the power they craved, the whole subject is under the carpet. People should be in prison for what happened.
This is the stuff of third world shitholes. They days when politics involved some measure of ‘honour’ and ‘decency’ are long gone. The title ‘The honourable’ is a complete joke now.
Can’t be long until we find out the last, desperate dirty trick by Team Obama to attempt to discredit Trump. First we had delaying the announcement of a COVID vaccine until after the election. Then we had the ‘hush money’. I wonder what they will do. They are truly desperate now so it could be a biggie – especially when they can use corrupt state agencies to do it.
And I admit I’m highly amused at the false president starting to get unpleasant and bitchy now he realises his time is almost up. He about to become a nobody who is kept hidden away to save him embarassing himself and the Democrats in public.

Network Centric Warfare is the best term developed to date to describe the way we will organize and fight in the Information Age,
• NCW is about adopting a new way of thinking to military operations.
• Myth 2**: NCW is all about the network. Actually, NCW is more about networking… about the
increased combat power that can be generated by a network-centric force.
• The power of NCW is derived from the effective linking or networking of knowledgeable entities…enabling them to develop shared awareness…to achieve a degree of self-
synchronization.
• NCW is about human and organizational behavior.
The last point is interesting no? Who do you think this woman works for?

Is it just possible that land values are lower in Runcorn, so it is economically feasible to site the incinerator there? Maybe it is a bit cheaper than siting it in Prestbury, next to Wayne Rooney’s mansion?

Apologies, Fed, comletely off-topic –
Morning Zeph,
If you can’t think of something nice to say, then say something controversial.
Here goes – I find Angela Rayner extremely attractive. Any woman with long red hair has pretty much got my heart, but she also has great legs and a fabulous figure.
When she wore that green trouser suit, I have to agree that it didn’t suit her. Critics showed pictures of the outfit, worn by a couple of models. It didn’t suit them either. A.R. is shaped like a woman, with boobs and assorted other curves where they should be. That red dress she took to wearing on the campaign trail was downright dangerous.
Would I vote for her? Never. She’s not the best public speaker and her accent isn’t the finest.
You can stick to the springster and her assorted classmates if you like. I’m too old for their kind.
I may do an article on Jess Phillips next, but don’t expect diane abbot to get a mention.

According to the uncritical BBC, our taxes will have to go up to pay yet more money into the NHS. Today’s sob story is the £ billions needed to fund treatment of the clinically obese, with new injections, social and mental and dietary care.
We didn’t have this issue when I was a lad. Most people who are obese eat too much and don’t burn off the calories. It’s a simple in versus out calculation. Eat less ! Don’t complain. And don’t tax the rest of us for your lifestyle choices.
As for obese immigrants, words fail me.

I had the first two Covid jabs, as at that time I had just finished treatment and had follow up appointments for check ups and blood tests etc. and felt really pressured in to taken them. One of the practice nurses who was also very reluctant to have the boosters suggested that it might be a good idea to continue with them, in case future treatment was needed and she feared the practice, could in the future, be issued with a ‘Covid jabbed only’ patient scheme.
The thing is if you want an appointment and ring our local practice you usually have to wait around forty five minutes, after listening to a long winded recorded message of how a wonderful new fast tracked system is now set up especially to save patient and practice time – REALLY??? Eventually, if one of the receptionists has time to answer between coffee breaks, an appointment is offered often for up to three weeks later or longer.
The ironic thing is that when I have attended for an appointment the place is deserted. The sullen faced receptionist who I check in with and have obviously interrupted her from something very very, important, – bit like Irma Grese, she directly points to a row of chairs and orders me to sit and wait. (us patients are such a bloody nuisance) Despite arriving on time I can wait for ten, fifteen minutes, sometimes longer, during which time you can literally hear a pin drop, whilst waiting to be called in to see the nurse.
— However when the time arises for Covid and Flu jabs they couldn’t be more happy to attend to you. they constantly bombard you with emails, text messages and phone calls with the choice of appointments, even for a weekend when they never normally open.
As for been asked directly about my Covid vaccine status I’m a bit like yourself, I am reluctant to give a straight reply. It depends on the health care professional who’s asking. (Sorry not much help) but I certainly won’t be having any more jabs
I am a little concerned though about your comments on Angela Rayner and Jess Phillips. You may be in need of some more old man routine checks before long if you’re not careful.

Murdered muslim girl, with her loving muslim dad next to her. Or perhaps on top of her, and perhaps a bit too loving?
Notice her grown up make up… her earrings… her décolleté dress… at under 10 years of age?!
Oh, I forgot, that’s the age of consent in certain communities. (Or non-consent; just do as you’re told.)
I wonder if dad did more than ‘just’ beat her to death? Perhaps he didn’t want her to talk?

‘Life and Death in Dresden’
If WW2 were going on today you could quite easily see the BBC reporting from wartime Germany and telling us how awful life was for the Germans. The BBC would be propagating enemy propaganda.
‘Life and Death in Gaza’
‘A film made by four Palestinians living through extraordinary times. Filming from the first days of the war, Khalid, Aya, Adam and Aseel document their own lives as they endure bombing raids, multiple evacuations, family separations and reunions, deaths, and even the birth of a new life amidst the chaos.’

Fixing the foundations: public spending audit 2024-25 (HTML)
Updated 2 August 2024
2.4 Pressures on public spending due to recent events
In addition to pressures from inflation and pay, recent events have increased pressures significantly on public spending since SR21, including:
Military assistance to Ukraine – The UK has committed £3 billion of military assistance to Ukraine in 2024-25 including £1.5 billion RDEL, in response to its invasion by Russia.
FREEZE THE PENSIONERS … Asylum – Asylum seeker arrivals, and the costs associated with supporting them in the UK, have exceeded SR21 forecasts. As a result spending on asylum support has increased seven-fold in the last three years, with asylum and immigration resulting in a pressure of £6.4 billion in 2024-25. The Rwanda migration partnership and Illegal Migration Act would have caused these spending pressures to continue rising even faster than before.
Rail services – Pressures have emerged on rail finances, primarily due to the weaker-than-expected recovery in passenger demand following the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to a pressure of £1.6 billion in 2024-25.

Some interesting polling analysis from the USA which examines voting intentions v consumption of various sources of news.
Those who consume most legacy media are the most likely to intend to vote for Halfwit Harris. Those who don’t use the legacy media are the most likely to vote for Trump.
This effect is seen across a lot of different topics , climate alarmism, support for Hamas Hezbollah Iran , support for migrants , the need to protect democracy , are all more favoured by legacy MSM consumers than non consumers
Their perception that Trump is a threat to democracy and that the Democrats and their Globalists puppet masters aren’t in my view demonstrates how easily people can be manipulated.
There is a lot of good news.
Trump is ahead in the polls. Only outrageous outliers are keeping Harris’s numbers up eg there can be six polls showing Trump a point or three ahead and one single poll showing Harris with a ten point lead but it is given equal weight to the others six which hugely reduces Trump’s polling numbers. These outliers always come from the same sources.
Secondly, the average age of the legacy media consumers is 70 , the average age of the non consumers is under 30!
The MSM is losing control. Probably the best news for years !

I tink the editor of ;time’ came out criticising Harris for refusing an interview – apparently the first presidential candidate to do this since the magazine set up
Naturally the msm isn’t making anything of this . But Obama is using the same technique he used for Biden – not airing the candidate because they are dumb / demented and relying on the fixed vote counts to steal the election again .
And maybe Obama will manage another assassination attempt – there more there are – the less the polls react .
That period 30 October – budget – 5th November – US election – will be ‘interesting times ‘…

The bliss and blessings of unregulated open door immigration as Albanian drug gangs run amok in our towns and cities, Vietnamese drug gangs peddle the weed, East Europeans divert plant machinery to their homelands and Romanians pickpocket and shoplift their way across the country….not to mention the racial tensions and ‘decolonisation’ attacks on Whites.
That’s not including all the other unnecessary crimes that were inflicted upon us and could have easily been avoided if we hadn’t just let ’em all in.
The BBC and fellow travellers hate white people, their society, culture and history so much that they think this crime is an acceptable and necessary part of the Great Reset where ‘Britain’ is erased from history and the future.

The man accused of murdering his daughter (below) told the police: ‘I legally punished her, and she died’
Legally? I don’t recall any British law saying it’s ok to beat and torture a child to death (for at least 2 years!!)
Maybe he’s thinking of Sharia law.
BBC: “The court previously heard that Sara was hooded, burned and beaten during more than two years of abuse.
She had suffered 11 fractures to her spine, burns to her buttocks, caused by a domestic iron, and signs of a traumatic brain injury, the court was told.
Prosecutor Bill Emlyn Jones KC previously said a bloodstained cricket bat, a rolling pin with Sara’s DNA on it, a metal pole, a belt and rope were found near the family’s outhouse.

Not BBC but USA Today reporting that as part of Kamala’s outreach to the black ‘community’, on top of $20k freebies she’ll also work to get them high.
“… the vice president will ‘break down unjust legal barriers that hold Black men and other Americans back by legalizing marijuana nationally’ […] Harris will ‘fight to ensure as the national cannabis industry takes shape, Black men – who have, for years, been over policed for marijuana use – are able to access wealth and jobs in this new market…’
I keep hearing from anxious liberal circles that democracy is under threat, but bribing the electorate with money and drugs doesn’t seem to be a problem. I wonder what the BBC/Guardian etc would say if Reform announced cash giveaways for white people only to develop amphetamine business startups.

Not sure that I can trust ONS anymore after “changing the way excess deaths are calculated”. After a couple of years of many excessive deaths the “new” method of calculation shows none! And they don’t publish the “old” results alongside the new as I would have thought they should have done.
Of course the new, lower CPI is of massive benefit to the treasury and next year’s pensions

Key elements include a formal invitation to join Nato, the lifting by allies of restrictions on long-range strikes on Russia, a refusal to trade Ukraine’s territories and sovereignty, and the continuation of the incursion into the Kursk region of Russia.
The Kremlin dismissed the plan with a spokesman saying Kyiv needed to “sober up”.
Addressing MPs, Zelensky also criticised China, Iran and North Korea for their backing of Russia, and described them as a “coalition of criminals”.
He said he would present the victory plan at an EU summit on Thursday.

If you begin to notice a sudden increase in press reports concerned about swathes of the UK coast being swamped by the sea in a few short years time due to, yes you guessed it…. Climate change….you might, like me wonder where this stuff is coming from,
Apparently there is a new not for profit outfit in the US who are busy creating scare articles to be planted in news outlets in countries they say will be affected around the World.
So news organisations such as the BBC don’t have to research this phenomenon, they are supplied with a tailored narrative specific to their country by this siren factory in the states. Of course, this means free content to such as the BBC so is very likely to be cut and pasted with enthusiasm.
A look at the US outfit reveals that the staff appear to be recent uni and college leavers so it would be interesting to know who is paying their salaries. My money is on either Soros or Gates.

Bowen: US threat to cut Israel military aid is sign of anger at broken promises
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c3e9q4nylwjo
I am presuming the BBC put ‘Bowen’ at the start of that headline in some kind of feeble attempt to infer that making such an unfounded and outrageous direct assertion is just an opinion.
Then Bowen writes:
‘It even challenges Israel’s long-standing attack on UNRWA, the UN agency that looks after Palestinian refugees.’
It doesn’t ‘look after them’ by stopping Hamas operating from in the middle of them does it Jeremy ?.
And according to the actual information given near the end of the article by this anti-semetic, terrorist-supporter, (presumably because he knows he simply cannot just make assertions like that without some kind of facts to back it up) ‘Challenging Israels attack’ is simply:
‘The US says it acknowledges Israeli concerns about UNRWA, but that restrictions on it would “devastate” the humanitarian effort in Gaza’
That’s not challenging it in the slightest Jeremy. It is ACKNOWLEDGING it. They are just saying there is no alternative for now.
Bowen at his very best. Lying through his teeth to support terrorists with the full weight of the BBC propaganda machine behind him
Time this mad-cow was retired. He is a complete embarassment.
