I strongly recommend to watch Peter McCormack interview Liz Truss on you tube. She really does seem to have a full grasp of the problems facing any new right of centre party in firstly getting into government, then actually forcing change through and beating the blob.
She says much of what we on this site think. She recognises that the Tories are finished and advocates a merger between the non Wet Tories and Reform.
McCormack’s channel is sponsored by IREN which seems to be something to do with Bitcoin. I have no idea what Bitcoin is or how it works but I thought it best to alert anyone who might watch the interview to who the sponsor is.
Truss may have had the right objectives and strategy but she had lousy tactical and implementation skills.
Thus she was managerially incompetent.
She also had no gravitas. To be fair, she was not alone on that one.
The BBC don’t dwell on the looters. In fact they describe them as:
‘So far police have arrested about 20 people for raiding abandoned buildings, with a curfew put in place by authorities.’
Apologies for the lateness / earliness of the weekend post as I had to go to noo noo early because I was so stressed over all those lefty luvvies losing their 10th homes in a fire started by Trump in revenge. I guess the BBC is still into fire porn ….
I’ve seen Mel Gibson saying the loss of his home looked like ‘Dresden after bomber Harris finished with it ….’ Mel probably blames Jews too …
Is there really any anti-Semitism on Mel Gibson’s part? Or was it a meltdown of Lefty & atheist Jews from Hollywood that was enflamed by liberal media? What did he do other than make a film about the life, death & resurrection of The Jewish Messiah? It’s been done before.
Mel looks pretty fried in the interview . And now the wind has changed and pushing the fire toward where karmela Harris ( who?) has a home … popcorn ….
The fire department will sacrifice half of LA to save that..
Good Morning Fedup I was doing a Gary last night hanging around for the new thread. The problem was that the bottle of red disappeared, and so did I to bed.
Ok ok I feel guilty about my failure … not having a TV at the moment i see more YouTube and X . On YouTube there is an excellent war film called ‘12 o clock high ‘ which I first saw on a ‘management course ‘! Highly recommended …
It now transpires that the diverse mayorette of LA is not just incompetent; doesn’t just waste time and taxpayer dollars swanning around Africa for no good reason while her city burns to the ground; but she is also a hard core Marxist-Leninist ‘community activist’ – that’s code for revolutionary troublemaker (think Obama) – who spent years being trained in the dark arts of communist subversion in Cuba under Castro.
She has links with violent terrorist networks. She slashed funds for firefighters to squander them on lefty NGOs.
She should be in prison. Hopefully Trump will take care of business. Where are those internment camps we were promised?
We should play a quiz . What ‘success ‘,will Rachel from accounts come back to britainistan with ?
I reckon it will be a big ‘investment ‘ in wind machines that can spy on the population – and nuclear submarines capable of hitting any target in the UK within 1 minute ….
I’ve got to be careful about I write this – but it seems Wesley Wes streeting has done an interview with the guardian – saying that is the issue of the Muslim parka paedo rape gangs isn’t treated ‘properly ‘ the ‘ Pakistani community ‘ could be at risk of harm …..
This interview doesn’t feature in BBC news – strangely – as usually the BBC echoes what the guardian says ….
There are – apparently – 2 million ‘official pakis ‘ in Britain – so I reckon the real number is more like 5 million …. And already there are comments about why they are here . Why indeed …
Fox News catalogues some of the many failings in California. The Democrats, the lefties, the wimmins, the diversity hires, the radical policies, the DEI, the extreme liberalism, the mismanagement and the corruption.
The years of tolerating crime and looting and drugs and homelessness and lawlessness.
And even now, the BBC and the rest of the media are giving them an easy ride when, as DeSantis points out, they’d be crucifying Republicans for much less.
Thank you for posting this – excellent -Compare that coverage with BBC crap .But at least they’ve got a DEI fire department …vote democrat – and they’ve got the olympics in 4 years
Today
They have an interview with the daughter of a French rapist who invited around 50 men to rape his wife whilst she was drugged. The BBC ‘loves ‘ this story …. But just think of the interest it shows in this foreign case – and the rapist paki rape gangs in Britain ..
What does that tell us ?
It’s a thing with BBC news – because it has a fixed approved view it cannot report stuff objectively any more – it’s a far left pro foreigner propaganda organisation with ‘journos ‘ fully bought and paid for …. Really sad really …
The BBC love that story partly for the prurience. They are a strange mixture of prurience and puritanism when it suits them
Plus, it chimes with their toxic masculinity narrative, and their feminist view of women as victims.
Fedup, I could not agree more. The bBC has developed a sophisticated narrative and if the story does not support the narrative then it goes unreported or buried and disappears as soon as is decently possible.
Just a guess but the bBC will account for well over 50% of political news gathering spend in the UK and if you are over 50% blind you do not see much.
It is a binary choice between democracy and the bBC.
The DT reports losses on pension pots caused by the labour generated bond market thingy . Basically the pension companies shift assets into ‘low risk ‘ bonds as pension funds get nearer to retirement thinking it is ‘safe ‘ .
But now – and in 2022 ( truss ) this view became dangerous – and people retiring now / taking their pension pots may be bigly out of pocket as their pension values fall .
The pension industry has operated on faulty / lazy thinking – and people are suffering because of it . For the record I have no skin in this game – but it shows – assume nothing …
But in the public sector of course, your pension, as well as being astonishingly generous, is rock solid safe as it is paid by taxpayers out of annual revenue.
Something the authorities like you not to be aware about.
Hot news out of LA – Hot flushes, hot sex and Hollywood’s last taboo edition
Our BBC are still transfixed by local news from California: Death toll rises… – runs the top line of the top headline of the BBC’s top online news story – the death toll in justificatory importance mode.
That old journalistic adage says ‘if it bleeds it leads’
As 11 are confirmed dead… (BBC) – that’ll be one up on the: at least 10 confirmed deaths – as of yesterday’s headline. So of course the story still leads.
Our print press followed the BBC lead yesterday going big with ithe LA wildfires (when precisely does a fire become a wildfire?) on their frontpages – but staff long haul travel expenses ain’t what they used to be even at our big national titles – and certainly not what they are at the Beeb.
The hoi polloi public’s thoughts may now turn to dreams of holidays in sunnier climes as: One week’s supply of gas left (Telegraph) – meanwhile that mildly conservative upmarket broadsheet hints instead at the après-ski: Behind the scenes with the chalet girls
Infact we witness a veritable Ladys Day of features throughout our press frontpages.
Your Telegraph pin-up today is a movie starlet photographed with a rather odd expression on her face – not so much come to bed as meet me by the barn yard pig pen: ‘Perfect sex scene? It’s all about the grunting’ Nicole Kidman says her new film Babygirl, in which she plays a frustrated boss who has an affair with an intern half her age, made her realise sex is not properly explored on screen
Talking of frustrated girl bosses… sometimes these segueways write themselves…
Reeves: UK needs China (Times); Gilts rout threatens policy agenda… Bid to avoid need for more tax rises (FT); Now Labour plots to delay defence boost until 2030s… as Reeves flees market turmoil to cosy up to one of our biggest foes (Daily Mail); No 10 set to axe billions from disability bill to ease debt crisis (Telegraph) Mortgage rates set to rise, as Reeves faces crunch week on UK economy (i news)
Thank goodness our first female chancellor, Rachel from accounts with the dodgy CV, broke that particular glass ceiling.
But don’t let those budgetary misfortunes at the hands of the market as experienced by the likes of Liz Truss and Rachel Reeves put you off, ladies.
BBC Radio 4 Today presenter Emma Barnett turns up in the left-leaning junior poundshop Guardian that is i news to insist: Women, beware the comfort of staying at home – we get left behind
Such direct instructions delivered to the female sex as a group, prefaced with the bold announcement: ‘Women…’, inevitably reminds one of that Harry Enfield comic creation, the cut glass 1930s BBC-style television preseter, Mr Cholmondley-Warner (played by Jon Glover) and in particular the classic sketch: Women, Know Your Limits!
An ordinary dinner party, the sort of occasion we all enjoy. The men are exchanging witty stories. And look at the women, aren’t they pretty? Look at the way they laugh. They’re delightful. But now the conversation turns to more serious matters. “I wonder if the Government should make a return to the Gold Standard?” But oh dear, one of the women is about to embarass us all! “I think the Government should stay orf the Gold Standard” The lady has foolishly attempted to join the conversation with a wild and dangerous opinion of her own. What half-baked drivel.
Apparently wildfires aren’t the only hot news out of Hollywood this week: Hot flushes, hot sex and Hollywood’s last taboo. Naomi Watts (the formerly serious Times)
Now we’re somewhat overdue a calm down dear. The largely female interest Times will oblige: Badass Gran Meet the fitness world champion at 70
Meanwhile our male sportsmen making the headlines are either crook (as Aussie slang would put it): My demetia shock… Prem star Dean Windlass, 55, on his bombshell diagnosis (Mirror) – or had up on a charge: Training ground shock… ‘Sex tape’ Prem ace arrested on pitch (Sun)
Us chaps really are caught without a paddle, unable to even think about making any progress up the proverbial creek: Single men on the horror of dating apps (Times)
It’s just not cricket to ban women! (Daily Express)
Your Mr AsI loves to find those sign of the times, state of the nation quotes lurking in plain sight in our media. Frank admissions of the regime sentiment and policy. And right there you have the British justification for toadying to US post-911 costly foreign policy entanglements: Pressure growing on England to boycott Afghanistan match in protest at Taliban (Express)
So we went to war for a decade so Afghan women can go to university and the pride flag may fly over Kabul.
How very British – if we can’t beat them on the battlefield, we’ll take away our bat and ball and refuse to play them on the playing field.
But but but – where’s the gas – there’s only a weeks ‘ worth – and they are bored by paki rape gangs now … time to find another headline – back to ‘strictly ‘?
An early contender for the juxtaposition of the week award.
On BBC radio news an article about global warming (2024 being the warmest year since whenever) was followed in the very next item by the news that it had been the coldest night of the year in the UK!!!!!!!
Also on radio 5 dead yesterday. A phone-in about global warming.
The randomly selected callers ( hahaha) consisted of one eco-fanatic after another, including some spokesperson for Just Stop Oil !!!!! Each caller seemed to try to outdo the maniacal outrage of the previous one. Laughable in its own way.
But as bias goes it was as unapologetic, in your face, two fingers to alternatives as it can get.
An absolute disgrace.
Not throwing hot tea over a servant this time, or screaming and shouting reducing them to tears, but, making sure it’s being followed around with cameras….
“Meghan and Prince Harry comfort LA fire victims and first responders as Fox is slammed for saying ‘Princess Markle’ is ‘hanging out with the commoners’ while city continues to burn”
And…it didn’t take long for the push back from far left racebaiters did it ?
THIS is the VERY attitude that enabled it all to thrive in the first place:
“Rape case councils brand the term ‘Asian gang’ racist – as it’s revealed Pakistanis are four times more likely to be child groomers.
Council areas where British-Pakistani men raped young white girls have endorsed an Islamophobia definition which labels the phrase ‘Asian grooming gangs’ racist.
Oxford, Newcastle, Manchester and Calderdale are local authorities backing a report that critics believe will silence whistle-blowers raising the alarm about child abuse.
This report says that using the term ‘Asian grooming gangs’ is a repetition of ‘age-old stereotypes and tropes about Islam’ of ‘sexual profligacy and paedophilia, or Islam and violence’.
This, the report concludes, ‘heighten[s] the vulnerability of Muslims to hate crimes’, the Times reports.
Labour has adopted this definition and the report, produced by the all-party parliamentary group for British Muslims, which is co-chaired by the health secretary, Wes Streeting.
It comes as new unreleased data suggests Pakistanis are up to four times more likely to be responsible for child sex grooming offences reported to police than the general population”
She told LBC: ‘We have report, after report, after report telling us the same thing. We know what’s happening in this country because people like myself have been giving thousands of interviews to the mainstream media telling you about it.
‘What’s not happening is action – there’s not enough paedophiles being taken through the courts and when they are, they’re walking free. There’s no professionals being held to account.’
“The Rochdale grooming gang that has run up £2m bill for taxpayers after fighting attempts to deport them.
A top immigration judge accused lawyers acting for the group of ‘weakening the rule of law’ by obstructing the courts and using time-wasting tactics.
The groomer who racked up the highest amount of fees was gang ringleader Qari Abdul Rauf, who received legal aid totalling £285,000, The Times reported.
Rauf, now 55, has returned to Rochdale since his release from prison in 2014 after serving two-and-a-half years of a six-year-sentence for trafficking a 15-year-old girl for sex and for having sex with her himself.
When sentenced in 2012, the father-of-five – who worked as a taxi driver and was a religious studies teacher at a mosque – was described as a ‘deeply hypocritical individual’ by Judge Gerald Clifton.”
The big news interest on the bbc, and any other media I view, is whether the grooming gangs are “asian”, “British asian”, “pakistani”, etc.
This is rapidly becoming the big diversionary story. It’s a shame there isn’t a term which covers all bases and allows us to get back to more important matters..
Could I suggest the much more accurate “moslim grooming gangs”?

This is rapidly becoming the big diversionary story. It’s a shame there isn’t a term which covers all bases and allows us to get back to more important matters..
Could I suggest the much more accurate “moslim grooming gangs”?

If Hitler had the brainwave of inventing the word ‘Naziphobia’
Would WW2 have ended differently as nobody would want to offend them.
Good job there were normal people in those days.
