      No ‘believe’ about it….they have shredded their manifesto and gone full-on 70’s Labour….the laughable ‘growth’ budget, as any lowly complaints department employee at the Halifax could have predicted, would lead to exactly the opposite of ‘growth’.

        It is worth watching carefully how they re invent or repurpose language, it is a typical labour “spend ” policy (on public services and their salaries)

        And it is now called “investing for growth” well I would like some of that “growth and investment” please in my wage packet just like the train drivers and NHS workers and whoever else is next in line.

    Odd how the BBC keeps giving credibility and airtime to whingers like this…

    ”We knew Christmas before you’ – the Band Aid fallout ‘

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c9dl22gz3vlo

    Bandaid did an enormous amount of good but it seems, ala Lammy, ‘white saviours’ are a bit embarrassing and colonial.

    Strangely the BBC isn’t at all concerned about one of its own, Jonathan Dimbleby, who made a film for ITV about famine in Ethiopia…a film that instigated a revolution and a savage dictatorship…as Dimbleby himself noted in 1998…

    ‘I STOOD in the Central Jail in Addis Ababa surrounded by its 640 inmates, all accused of heinous crimes against humanity. One of them pointed at me, saying: “If we are guilty of genocide, Dimbleby, then you should be here with us.” It was a disconcerting moment.

    Twenty five years ago, in 1973, I was responsible for an ITV film called The Unknown Famine which exposed Ethiopia as a crumbling empire stricken by mass starvation. Within Ethiopia the film aroused shame and anger. As a direct result, The Unknown Famine became the catalyst for the overthrow of a feudal emperor in favour of that gruesome dictatorship which soon became synonymous with the name of Mengistu.

    Tens of thousands of young people, intoxicated by the televisual imagery of starvation and the rhetoric of revolution, signed up for Mengistu’s cause and, without a second thought, became footsoldiers for genocide. Within five years the “red terror” – as the slaughter was officially known – accounted for at least 100,000 lives.’

    BBC ‘Royalty’….so maybe best not to ask too many awkward questions.

    Three guilty of Comic Relief and Children in Need fraud
    Published
    4 August 2010

    Share
    Three people have been convicted of devising a scheme to fraudulently claim more than £500,000 of grants from leading charities.

    Children in Need, Comic Relief and the Big Lottery Fund were all targeted, Isleworth Crown Court was told.

    Kitumbula Mazambi and his wife Mapendo Kasiba, both of London, and his brother Kyalemaninwa Mazambi, of Coventry, were convicted of conspiracy to steal.

    The police said the men had “cynically betrayed” positions of trust.

    ‘Web of deception’

    Kitumbula Mazambi, a biology graduate who arrived in Britain in the mid 1990s, masterminded the fraud.

    After becoming aware of the plethora of small grants available from charities, he worked out a way of avoiding justifying how the money was spent.

    Working with his co-defendants, a network of different bodies were created to maximise the grants they could obtain.

    But a grants officer from the Big Lottery Fund raised the alarm after noticing similarities between a number of different applications.

      Never give to any charity, especially if they’re operating in the 3rd world.
      They’re mostly corrupt and politicised as hell.
      The old saying holds true, that charities are about poor people in rich countries giving to rich people in poor countries.
      Or, in some cases, going straight to terrorist groups.

        Why are American taxpayer dollars being spent to maintain empty

        n FY2024, U.S. Congress provided $516 billion to programs whose authorizations previously expired under federal law. Nearly $320 billion of that $516 billion expired more a decade ago.

        – Pentagon can’t fully account for $824 Billion
        – $236 Billion in improper payments in federal programs in 2023
        – $200 Billion in pandemic relief went to fraud/abuse
        – The U.S. failed to track $1 Billion in Ukraine Aid

    “Young people who refuse to work to lose benefits – minister”

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cp35r0v7q95o

    ‘Under new measures to reform the welfare system, a “Youth Guarantee” for 18 to 21-year-olds aims to train young people or get them back into work.’

    In other words the old boy network of provider companies are to be awarded with yet another round of multi billion pounds contracts, to run useless employability courses, and stress the youngsters out.

    And nothing new here, people already lose benefits , if they don’t jump through the government’s hoops in timely fashion.

    So many people are economically inactive…
    Could it be there simply isn’t enough jobs to go around.
    Don’t expect the BBC to ask.

      I’ve always got angry at feckless youth using the dole as a life choice. Having kids and expecting a free council house and free money from folk like myself.

      Always made me go on a rant stuff like that

      But now?

      I don’t blame them really.

      Our ‘leaders’ have flooded the country to the point that property prices are out of the reach of most people. Job security is lower than it’s been in decades. Everything costs a fortune and they need to work like Trojans just to pay their rent to a greedy landlord and eat cheap, processed food every day.

      A lot of them lead shitty, wage slave lives with little hope of things getting better. They see things getting worse.

      I don’t blame them really. Well, unless they are rampant leftists, of course. They’re asking for it.

      For the rest, why work your arse off if you can have a better quality of life by not working at all?

      I speak to more and more young people who feel this way, to some degree at least.

      I think it explains the reason why so many younger job applicants either don’t turn up for interview or leave their job after a few days.

      Why bust your arse if your boss is a nobhead? No future for you anyway.

      It’ll be a major issue at some point though, when we’ve got too many people needing money from the few of us left working.

    “Major farm tax U-turn from biggest cheerleader of policy spells nightmare for Labour.

    A Labour-supporting tax expert cited by MPs and the BBC in defence of the farming tax has now changed his view of the policy in a damning move for the Chancellor.

    Rachel Reeves has been humiliated and left “completely isolated” after a senior tax expert who previously supported her tractor tax published new evidence revealing it will clobber hardworking farmers.

    Dan Neidle, a Labour supporter, had spent much of the past week backing Treasury figures regarding how many farms will be affected by the changes to Inheritance Tax.

    He admits that the number of farmers affected by the tax will be much higher than previously thought.

    Mr Neidle concludes that the Budget does nothing to stop rich people taking advantage of the current low taxes for farmers, and that the cap should be raised “dramatically” so that only the wealthiest farms become subject to inheritance tax.

    The research also casts huge doubts on the Treasury and OBR’s figures regarding how much the tax will actually raise for the country’s coffers, with Mr Neidle concluding they look “optimistic”.

    He was cited by Labour MPs in defence of the policy, and held up by the BBC as proof that farmers are wrong to believe they will be hurt by the tax hikes.

    However in a major U-turn this morning, Mr Neidle published detailed new evidence revealing that the Budget will clobber ordinary farmers, while failing to go after the mega-rich tax avoiders it purports to.

    After expensive analysis, he has concluded that the few hundred mega rich people who have bought farm estates to take advantage of the current tax relief will be “unaffected by the Budget changes”, while the 125 estates worth more than £1.5 million will only be “somewhat affected” and are “not being hit hard enough”.

    “A ten year, some years ago, got cross with me and said to me “YOU DON’T GET IT”. He said “You grew up thinking polar bears would be there forever”. “I’ve grown up knowing they will go extinct.” Three quarters (of kids) think the future is frighting.

    7pm click the BBC local radio on
    The music is a jolly little sea shanty

    Good morning Mr Colston I see your ship’s come in
    …. the Master needs his coffee and the master needs his rum
    And the Missus needs her sugar to make her sugar plum
    Good morning Mr Colston when will your kingdom come?

    … Good morning Mr Colston bless your generosity
    It’s thanks to you there’s hospitals and poor-folk property
    It’s thanks to you a hundred thousand souls were sold as slaves
    And a quarter died in transit and the ocean was their graves

    … whoaa Colston profited from slave ships, but I doubt the credibility of the hundred thousand claim, and the 25% transit death claim

    Did the Lord give you permission to take me from my land?

    (So the character in the song ia an African slave ..The black slavers took the people from their villages, NOT Bristol people)

    For each white child you educate another black child killed

    (The Colston school has existed for 314 years and has 823 pupils
    I’m guess the school has at least 20,000 ex pupils )

    Am I not a brother and a man
    With a right to breathe the Bristol air
    And walk this pleasant land?

    (No slaves came to Bristol, so they were not prevented from walking there .. rather the ships went from Africa to the Americas)

    19:52 GBNews .. Gary Sinyon, the producer of new award winning comedy show Hapless called for the BBC Director to resign because when he offered the BBC it for a knockdown £6,000 per episode they refused it
    And then engaged in a news blackout against it

    @afneil
    BBC not created new TV hit for five years, according to National Audit Office (NAO). Its commercial division makes most of its money from old shows that were first released decades ago.
    Of the BBC’s 10 most profitable shows last year, only one
    – a “soft drama” series from 2019 – was created by BBC Studios, while three were bought from rival producers.
