As UK problems pile up… worked in McDonald’s as a teenager… Ms Badenoch visits McDonald’s HQ in London… (freebie Metro) – Sorry, but you’re no Donald Trump, luv.
The brilliance of Trump’s McDonald’s stunt… in Featersville-Trevose, Pennsylvania. From the window, the candidate handed out some fries and fielded some questions in what made for a masterful PR stunt… “Happy birthday Kamala,” the former president riffed from inside the fast-food restaurant… In an interview with MSNBC… in an attempt to appear sympathetic to the concerns of the working class, Harris talked about her time flipping burgers at McDonald’s. “I worked there as a student.”
but in a 1987 résumé uncovered by Trump’s allies, the Democratic candidate makes no mention of her purported professional experience at Mickey D’s. Furthermore, Trump’s campaign has noted the overall lack of proof that she ever worked for the chain — a punch-back at her purported working-class bona fides. (Juan P. Villasmil, The Spectator World)

Dearly beloved, gathered here, here cometh the quitessential BBC headline…
Moment of relief as Romania and Bulgaria join EU border-free zone – Phew… I was almost as anxious for that to happen as I was for a loose alliance of various Turkish-backed, CIA-funded, Pentagon-armed, Islam-inspired, former Isis-linked rebel groups to suddenly seize control of the capital of Syria. What could possibly go wrong?

Dave Milliband must still be waiting for the call begging him to come back and save his party . It really is trait of such politicians to call for more of other peoples money to be thrown at overseas – lost – third world causes . It happens in both red and blue .

Meanwhile presidenr trump will cut nato spending and demand that EU states take up the slack …. A good move …

How much does David Miliband earn from International Rescue Committee?
It was reported that his total IRC remuneration for 2019 was c. $1 million. According to tax filings hosted by ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer, the International Rescue Committee CEO salary was $466,209 in financial year ending September 2012. In financial year ending September 2022, the salary was $1,142,413.
The Church of England has a large endowment of £8.7 billion which generates approximately £1 billion a year in income (2019),[1] this is their largest source of revenue. The 2019 Financial report showed that the size of the endowment has been steady or growing slightly in recent years, delivering a return of 10% (2019). In recent years, efforts have been made to make the Church’s investments more ethical,[2] by divesting from major arms manufacturers and divesting all fossil fuel investments in 2020.[3] The Church of England has been criticized in the past for investments in arms dealers, unethical loan companies and companies with poor environmental records[4] – however, the Church of England is now committed to being a strong ethical investor. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_and_finances_of_the_Church_of_England

We’re luckier than the Germans who, as I understand it – still pay taxes to The Church.
In Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg, church tax equates to 8% of your income tax. For the rest of Germany, church tax equates to 9% of your income tax.
Legal incorporation of the church tax in the Weimar Constitution in 1919, in 1949 adoption of the regulation in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Germany. In Germany, all religious and ideological communities that are corporations under public law are entitled to levy taxes by constitution law.
“Put simply, the church tax applies to registered members of the Catholic, Protestant and Jewish churches. Other faiths are not subject to a religious tax in Germany.9 Feb 2024”
Lawmakers from Germany’s grand coalition government said on Wednesday that they were considering introducing a “mosque tax” for German Muslims, similar to the church taxes that German Christians pay.

This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to renew our party, our thinking and our country. It’s time to tell the truth. The system is broken. Let’s develop a blueprint that looks at every aspect of what our state does and why it does it. The work to rebuild trust starts now.
A message from Prime Minister, Keir Starmer
I’d like to say a heartfelt thank you for the support you gave us on Thursday 4 July.
A mandate like this comes with great responsibility. I promise you this: Labour will govern for the whole country. We will put the chaos of the last 14 years behind us, turn the page and start to rebuild.

Why anyone listens to most media clowns mystifies.
A mathematician, an accountant and an economist apply for the same job.
The interviewer calls in the mathematician and asks “What does two plus two equal?” The mathematician replies “Four.” The interviewer asks, “Four, exactly?” The mathematician looks at the interviewer incredulously and says, “Yes, four, exactly.”
Then the interviewer calls in the accountant and asks the same question: “What does two plus two equal?” The accountant says, “On average, four—give or take 10 percent, but on average, four.”
Then the interviewer calls in the economist and poses the same question: “What does two plus two equal?” The economist gets up, locks the door, closes the shades, sits down next to the interviewer and says, “What do you want it to equal?”
The BBC employ many of their staff from adverts
placed in The Guardian. As an alternative do you
think it might be a good idea if they found out from
the OXFORD UNION. The names of all the 75% undergraduates
who put their hands UP at the Oxford debate on Israel
recently. Who said they wouldn’t report to the
Israeli authorities if they knew about the forthcoming
attacks on 7th October 2023 on Israeli civilian citizens ?
This surely would be a good box ticker for a job at the BBC.
Let me think, what was happening in October that might have triggered that? Might be all the companies shedding workers and the massive cash being piled by Labour into union workers pay packets for zilch increase in output maybe?
“Analysts said the contraction in the UK economy could make it more likely that the Bank of England monetary policy committee will vote to cut the base rate when they meet later this month.”
Right on cue, to start another season of slashing interest rates to near zero, to stoke the property bubble some more.
Leading to the exact same group of people benefiting.
Problem is after decades of the same policy, this group has everything they want already, and can’t eat in restaurants any more often etc, so it won’t help boost the economy.
There are so many anecdotal reports of police inaction regarding many different matters, good to see they have priorities:

Excellent post.
A little number crunching.
That’s about 300 worker/ pensioners per civil servant.
That’s about 6 ‘working hours’ per worker/pensioner per year.
Given most people just get automated letters it does rather beg the question, what are all these people doing? Who has spent 12 hours solid working time solely on the affairs of myself and Mrs S?
So called “green” policies only matter it seems, when it’s taxpayers paying more and subsidised jobs for the boy’s and girls…
Homes for heroes ? No bloody chance, it’s for millions of illegal immigrants heading for a life on the dole.

Just look what this Syrian who took Asylum in Turkey said:
‘Abdul, a 25-year-old mechanical engineer, returned to Aleppo four days ago, after spending 10 years in Turkey. “I thought I’d never come back. It’s a miracle. I’m proud,” he says. “I’ve already forgotten the racism and the humiliation I suffered being a refugee. We now have our dignity back. That’s the most important thing.”‘
Gratitude for all the free stuff not high on Abdul’s list – but of course he never even said it. It’s a child-like, clumsy attempt by the idiot BBC activist to infer that’s what they are suffering here in the UK. It’s completely made up : it just doesn’t fit at all in the story.
I bet he didn’t even realise he was calling other Muslims racists. His intent was to infer that’s what whitey is here in the UK.
More important than that BBC – when will all these refugees be sent back to Syria ?. After all, all your excuses are gone now. Something tells me that a) none of them will go back and b) the BBC will not go near the topic.
I’ve just been watching something on youtube telling me he couldn’t say much because the youtube censorship of anything going on in Syria is massive. Anything which doesn’t match the narrative is being censored and accounts being de-monetised.
It stink real bad. And it’s how completely the lies can now be enforced which concerns me.
Or of course maybe this terrorist has indeed suddenly become a moderate and has not been set up from the start to ‘play nice’ with the West until they have established their power. Then we have another Afghanistan and another rise of the Jihad. Coming soon to a Town centre near you.

The BBC is all over the Prince Andrew/China story….shame they weren’t so eager to report on Hunter Biden and family’s dodgy dealings. Not as if the Vice President and then President of the USA isn’t important enough to have dodgy deals investigated…surely?
‘…the Bidens and their associates have received over $20 million in payments from foreign entities.’ ‘China- CEFC: On March 1, 2017—less than two months after Vice President Joe Biden left public office—State Energy HK Limited, a Chinese company, wired $3 million to a Biden associate’s account. This is the same bank account used in the above “Romania” section. After the Chinese company wired the Biden associate account the $3 million, the Biden family received approximately $1,065,692 over a three-month period in different bank accounts. Additionally, the CEFC Chairman gives Hunter Biden a diamond worth $80,000. Lastly, CEFC creates a joint venture with the Bidens in the summer of 2017. The timeline lays out the “WhatsApp” messages and subsequent wires from the Chinese to the Bidens of $100,000 and $5 million. The total amount from China, specifically with CEFC and their related entities, to the Biden family and their associates is over $8 million.’
Remarkable attack by the BBC on the ‘riots’ in relation to Southport….why is this the top news story or a news story at all…the police bleating about how hard their job is?…and look how they talk about the rioters…
‘”I think they were just on a rampage,” said PC Teeley who described rioters as parasites. “These people have no place in society, the ones that were causing the carnage – are the people that draw everything out of the community, draw the life and soul out the community, give nothing but take everything”.’
‘Parasites’…with no place in society? ….imagine if he’d said this about the immigrants who come here to commit crime and hate this country…the BBC would hound him out of his job.
And very sad that one had a heart attack…but that just means he was unfit to be on duty…he could have had one chasing a burglar…but the BBC is keen to try and ramp it up to make it appear the rioters were terrible people doing enormous damage…oddly not the same narrative for the rioting immigrants in Leeds just a short while before where the police were sent packing…or indeed Manchester airport where ‘your boys took a beating’….and here’s the sickest comment….
‘Insp Dack has more than 20 years’ experience in some of the town’s most deprived communities.
He’s also a dad and coaches a girls football team, “I think about the kids growing up. I want them to grow up somewhere safe”.
But he is quick to add that if disorder does break out, he’ll be back on the front line.
“Yes, I don’t even need to think about that one” said Insp Dack, ” If that comes again – am I ready? Are the officers ready? Yes”.’
Really? How about policing those migrants who kill little girls with a knife or a bomb?…or maybe stopping them coming here in the first place as 600 crossed the Channel illegally yesterday…and the BBC doesn’t report it.
The sick irony of that comment considering the riots were in response to three girls being murdered and others attacked.
BBC Radio Humberside coverage of Ed Miliband was the total travesty you’d expect, as it made out that people only objected to his Net Zero dream and Wins, solar mgic solutions on minor grounds.
Rather than it being cos they are million miles away from proper maths and science.
ITV local news was a tone lower but still read from the Labour PR sheet.
Lines like “will lower bills”
and “Under the Tories onshore wind was EFFECTIVELY banned”
.. entirely false onshore wind was built every year
and large landowners are free to built them on their land,
The thing was the SUBSIDIES were low, and it’s such a rubbish power source no one builds them without huge huge SUBSIDIES.
BBC local TV news
Presenter “Hardly any onshore windfarms have been built in the past decade
relatively truthful
Eco nut enviro presenter “This is Sangton onshore windfarm , before the Tory government EFFECTIVELY banned them”
..that is a lie
Also “Miliband will say that wind offers a CHEAP green source of energy”
lie .. It’s not cheap, and not very green
Miliband : “Without wind/solar We will be exposed as country to risks of fossil fuels”
FFS solar and wind GUARANTEE the UK needs to import fossil fuels
They are energy sources which only turn up when they feel like it. So gas plants have to be on standby all the time.
A mountainous low population country like Norway can use hydropower as backup.. the UK can’t
Now Tory MP Grahan Stuart ..a supporter of mad greenness
His only caveat was that local communities should not be overruled
BBC bigging up on the main news the ‘trauma’ of the plod dealing with the summer so-called riots.
I don’t remember the BBC having the same level of interest in the welfare of the Police after, for example, the Orgreave miners’ confrontation or the Poll Tax riots in Trafalgar Square.
But protests against mass immigration after three murders? Suddenly they care.
Looks like TTK does not apply only to the government.
The same BBC that now eulogises and romanticises the Tottenham riots as ‘rebellion’ and ‘resistance’ where this happened…
‘PC Keith Blakelock’s unit was attacked with a “flame-type thrower” before he was hacked to death by a mob during the Tottenham riots in 1985, a court heard.’
‘BBC reporters should know better. It is utterly remarkable that correspondents reporting on conflicts in the Middle East seem to know so little about the region’s history and are so uninterested in supplying audiences with the crucial historical context which helps us all understand the present.’
It’s not just the BBC’s ignorance on Jewish history but just about any history in the Middle East……they insist the Sykes-Picot agreement disastrously ‘carved up the Middle East’ and is the cause of all the problems there now. In fact Sykes-Picot had little to do with the final agreements which were hammered out over years with the locals deeply involved in the negotiations.
The line that Britain ‘carved up the Middle East’ is a line that the Jihadis use….and it’s a lie….why does the BBC parrot terrorist lies? The same BBC that is the cheerleader for Hamas and was a mouthpiece for Putin as it pumped out anti-Trump disinformation such as the ‘dodgy dossier’ that came directly from….Russian intelligence officers….the BBC doing Putin’s dirty work as he tried to destabilise and divide the US political system…which he did successfully thanks to the likes of the BBC.

Dave Milliband must still be waiting for the call begging him to come back and save his party . It really is trait of such politicians to call for more of other peoples money to be thrown at overseas – lost – third world causes . It happens in both red and blue .
The uk ‘interest test ‘ is never applied ? What do I get in return ? Nothing – ever . Yet on they go sending borrowed tax money overseas . … both partys – every year …
Meanwhile presidenr trump will cut nato spending and demand that EU states take up the slack …. A good move …
Another move by presidenr trump was demanding Canada sorts out its ‘ border …. When Trudeau turned up in Florida to beg the true president not to impose tariffs at the end of the meeting he was told to go find a hotel – rather than stay in the Trump compound …. Nice bit of symbolism .
Trudeau will be looking for a new job soon …

……………………………………….
The Church of England has a large endowment of £8.7 billion which generates approximately £1 billion a year in income (2019),[1] this is their largest source of revenue. The 2019 Financial report showed that the size of the endowment has been steady or growing slightly in recent years, delivering a return of 10% (2019). In recent years, efforts have been made to make the Church’s investments more ethical,[2] by divesting from major arms manufacturers and divesting all fossil fuel investments in 2020.[3] The Church of England has been criticized in the past for investments in arms dealers, unethical loan companies and companies with poor environmental records[4] – however, the Church of England is now committed to being a strong ethical investor.

A mathematician, an accountant and an economist apply for the same job.
The interviewer calls in the mathematician and asks “What does two plus two equal?” The mathematician replies “Four.” The interviewer asks, “Four, exactly?” The mathematician looks at the interviewer incredulously and says, “Yes, four, exactly.”
Then the interviewer calls in the accountant and asks the same question: “What does two plus two equal?” The accountant says, “On average, four—give or take 10 percent, but on average, four.”
Then the interviewer calls in the economist and poses the same question: “What does two plus two equal?” The economist gets up, locks the door, closes the shades, sits down next to the interviewer and says, “What do you want it to equal?”

Leading to the exact same group of people benefiting.
Problem is after decades of the same policy, this group has everything they want already, and can’t eat in restaurants any more often etc, so it won’t help boost the economy.

‘Today we are celebrating a new Syria’: Mass rallies mark end of Assad regime
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cn9g1rg0y7yt
Just look what this Syrian who took Asylum in Turkey said:
‘Abdul, a 25-year-old mechanical engineer, returned to Aleppo four days ago, after spending 10 years in Turkey. “I thought I’d never come back. It’s a miracle. I’m proud,” he says. “I’ve already forgotten the racism and the humiliation I suffered being a refugee. We now have our dignity back. That’s the most important thing.”‘
Gratitude for all the free stuff not high on Abdul’s list – but of course he never even said it. It’s a child-like, clumsy attempt by the idiot BBC activist to infer that’s what they are suffering here in the UK. It’s completely made up : it just doesn’t fit at all in the story.
I bet he didn’t even realise he was calling other Muslims racists. His intent was to infer that’s what whitey is here in the UK.
More important than that BBC – when will all these refugees be sent back to Syria ?. After all, all your excuses are gone now. Something tells me that a) none of them will go back and b) the BBC will not go near the topic.

‘…the Bidens and their associates have received over $20 million in payments from foreign entities.’
‘China- CEFC: On March 1, 2017—less than two months after Vice President Joe Biden left public office—State Energy HK Limited, a Chinese company, wired $3 million to a Biden associate’s account. This is the same bank account used in the above “Romania” section. After the Chinese company wired the Biden associate account the $3 million, the Biden family received approximately $1,065,692 over a three-month period in different bank accounts. Additionally, the CEFC Chairman gives Hunter Biden a diamond worth $80,000. Lastly, CEFC creates a joint venture with the Bidens in the summer of 2017. The timeline lays out the “WhatsApp” messages and subsequent wires from the Chinese to the Bidens of $100,000 and $5 million. The total amount from China, specifically with CEFC and their related entities, to the Biden family and their associates is over $8 million.’

Remarkable attack by the BBC on the ‘riots’ in relation to Southport….why is this the top news story or a news story at all…the police bleating about how hard their job is?…and look how they talk about the rioters…
‘”I think they were just on a rampage,” said PC Teeley who described rioters as parasites. “These people have no place in society, the ones that were causing the carnage – are the people that draw everything out of the community, draw the life and soul out the community, give nothing but take everything”.’
‘Parasites’…with no place in society? ….imagine if he’d said this about the immigrants who come here to commit crime and hate this country…the BBC would hound him out of his job.
And very sad that one had a heart attack…but that just means he was unfit to be on duty…he could have had one chasing a burglar…but the BBC is keen to try and ramp it up to make it appear the rioters were terrible people doing enormous damage…oddly not the same narrative for the rioting immigrants in Leeds just a short while before where the police were sent packing…or indeed Manchester airport where ‘your boys took a beating’….and here’s the sickest comment….
‘Insp Dack has more than 20 years’ experience in some of the town’s most deprived communities.
He’s also a dad and coaches a girls football team, “I think about the kids growing up. I want them to grow up somewhere safe”.
But he is quick to add that if disorder does break out, he’ll be back on the front line.
“Yes, I don’t even need to think about that one” said Insp Dack, ” If that comes again – am I ready? Are the officers ready? Yes”.’
Really? How about policing those migrants who kill little girls with a knife or a bomb?…or maybe stopping them coming here in the first place as 600 crossed the Channel illegally yesterday…and the BBC doesn’t report it.
The sick irony of that comment considering the riots were in response to three girls being murdered and others attacked.

Rather than it being cos they are million miles away from proper maths and science.

Lines like “will lower bills”
and “Under the Tories onshore wind was EFFECTIVELY banned”

and large landowners are free to built them on their land,
The thing was the SUBSIDIES were low, and it’s such a rubbish power source no one builds them without huge huge SUBSIDIES.

‘BBC reporters should know better. It is utterly remarkable that correspondents reporting on conflicts in the Middle East seem to know so little about the region’s history and are so uninterested in supplying audiences with the crucial historical context which helps us all understand the present.’
It’s not just the BBC’s ignorance on Jewish history but just about any history in the Middle East……they insist the Sykes-Picot agreement disastrously ‘carved up the Middle East’ and is the cause of all the problems there now. In fact Sykes-Picot had little to do with the final agreements which were hammered out over years with the locals deeply involved in the negotiations.
The line that Britain ‘carved up the Middle East’ is a line that the Jihadis use….and it’s a lie….why does the BBC parrot terrorist lies? The same BBC that is the cheerleader for Hamas and was a mouthpiece for Putin as it pumped out anti-Trump disinformation such as the ‘dodgy dossier’ that came directly from….Russian intelligence officers….the BBC doing Putin’s dirty work as he tried to destabilise and divide the US political system…which he did successfully thanks to the likes of the BBC.
