    A crime syndicate involving prostitution and drugs were operating from an expensive location in Mayfair.
    A concerned local resident filmed their activities, recorded their conversations, and logged their comings and goings over several weeks.
    He then handed over his abundant and detailed records to the police.
    They did absolutely nothing.

    “Chris Philp, the shadow home secretary, said: “Labour had 14 years to come up with new ideas – but all they have done is copied and pasted what the last government had already announced.”

    Pathetic they’re still pretending Labour isn’t just a continuation of the last globalist government, just with a different coloured tie.

          The Lib Dems had loads more years to ‘Return to their constituencies, and prepare for oblivion’… (D.Steele – er- years and years ago).

          72 seats is the best they can do, Reform can’t really count on these seats, as no Lib Dem has ever made a decent political statement, or decision, except whinge and yap about bugger all!

          The ‘coalition’ was a farce, especially with Cameron farting about somewhere or other, and the Clegg bloke wondering where he was going to go next!

    My new hypothesis. Its been growing on me for the past two/three weeks. All subsequent actions, so far, seem to suggest I’m on the right path.

    The Trumps endgame:
    Keep the American people on side as much as is necessary and for as long as necessary. Hence the broadcasting of everything he and his new team of inexperienced, “Merry-Men” do. Hoping the people see and understand they’re all working hard for the people. “Look at us, we’re doing these things for you” Meanwhile, we know he respects the two other principal dictators in Moscow and Beijing and my overriding feeling is that he wishes to align himself as ‘one-of-them’. In fact, he see’s himself as better than them.

    All the actions to date i.e. Greenland, the 51st State, Ukraine “Negotiations” etc suggest just below the surface is a nasty dictator who has not been exposed …………….yet.

    What goes up, must come down on this planet.

    BBC failed people regarding some one call ‘Timmy Tim westwards’ who apparently played records on the radio. .

    18 ladies complained against his naughty conduct

    And there are to be cuts to the ‘give away money to foreigners ‘ package ( nooo ) and a huge £22 billion to be spent on offence / defence …. I wonder what 22 billions buys you? Once the MOD and its mates have had a taste ?

    And then there’s the CEO of the NHS – Mandy Pritchard ? Throwing the towel in in exchange for the peerage . How will the NHS survive without Mandy . Many tears will be shed …

    I was looking for the news regarding Ukraine/Russia this morning.
    It’s notable that Forbes posted the Macron/Trump press conference without commentary & edits.

    Watching it didn’t give me the same impression as BBC & other MSM headlines did.

    BBC “Macron Corrects Trump”
    CNN “Macron interrupts Trump” Another one “Macron humiliated Trump”

    They really are trying to spin it. Trump is the bad guy as always.

    One of the American press agents wasted questions hounding The President about DOGE. A stupid & rude thing to do when another head of state is visiting and the order of the day is an attempt to bring a war to a close.

    They got an on top trougher called ‘Mallock – brown ‘ – nice chap – eton – FCO – nice chap – good trougher ..

    Any way this chap told us with a straight face that foreigners will die because the overseas tax give away is cut – I was waiting for him to call for ‘crowd funding ‘ of jonnie foreigner ….

    It didn’t come – he wanted the defence money to come from somewhere else – probably -you – dear reader . Malloch has got his FCO / UN pension so he and the family will be ok . Which is nice ….

    Btw – apparently 2000 USAID ‘employees ‘ didn’t take the 8 months redundancy money for are fired … if they existed of course ….

    … btw2 nut nut Johnson wants the defence budget up to 3% – he says he will sell a few of his kids and write another book about Churchill no one will read …

    Pps – the extra 22 billion will pay for 2thirds of a new nuclear submarine – which is nice …

      We’ve long been told private firms are more efficient than the state. This is a dangerous myth.
      I spent 20 years at ITN, a private firm almost destroyed by a huge black hole in its accounts. And accounts depts of private firms for whom I work, seem just as chaotic as the BBC.

      It sounds like they are going to redirect some of our stolen tax money from foreign aid to a military.

        Where Is the Missing $100 Billion in U.S. Aid for Ukraine?
        https://www.csis.org/analysis/where-missing-100-billion-us-aid-ukraine

        On February 2, President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine said he had only received $75 billion of the $175 billion the United States had spent on Ukraine. The cry went up, what happened to the other $100 billion? Was it lost or stolen? The answer is no. Only part of the aid goes through Ukrainian control. A large part pays for activities as a result of the war but not to Ukraine directly. These include the United States training of Ukrainian forces, global humanitarian assistance, additional costs of U.S. surge forces in Europe, and intelligence support for both NATO and Ukraine.

        As CSIS has reported before, “aid to Ukraine” is a misnomer because 90 percent of military aid is spent in the United States. Of aid overall, 60 percent is spent in the United States, about 25 percent is spent in Ukraine, and the final 15 percent is spent globally.

    Over the last few years I have been aware of the shift in political tone at what used to be the working British man’s paper.

    Yes that would be The Daily Mirror.

    It has relentlessly moved to the left and is now almost indistinguishable from the Socialist Worker.

    Today they are running an opinion poll…..

    The question, “Do you think Trump is more unhinged this time than last time he was president?”

    I don’t know which crazy Mirror bitter manchild or more likely womanchild came up with that question but it surely ranks alongside the famed question “When did you stop beating your wife?

    Pathetic juvenile shite!

    When a news organisation becomes this partisan, blinkered and warped it loses the right to regard itself as a news source and is instead simply an activist slogan spouting pamphleteer in my opinion.

    It would be interesting to know how many junior Mirror “News” staff gravitate to the BBC, they do have so much in common

    I happened to look at a bbbc series called Dope Girls about a bunch of wimmin, set in 1918 and onwards.

    I never thought there were so many diverse races in England over a 100 years ago.
    As usual there’s girl on girl action.
    The diverse ones are the goodies.
    The first white girl steals money from a place she worked.
    The diverse ones give shelter to the grubby white wimmin.

    I lasted barely ten minutes.

    I tried World on fire.
    White bloke is a right wet Willy.
    Coloured soldiers all kind and sensible.
    Diverse lot all brave and lots of man on man action.

    You just can’t believe any of this box ticking drama anymore.
    I’m watching ever more catch up.
    Even ten years ago is not so bad (Happy Valley)
    X Files daft but somehow more believable than the current woke over representation and box ticking rubbish.
    Auf wiedersehen pet, Sweeney and Minder all watched 2 or 3 times now.
    Currently on the old Bill and Z Cars which are also more believable.
    That’s a good thing about getting old, you can watch stuff over and over and enjoy it (leaving a few years between watching)
    It works on books as well. I’m re-reading the Tom Sharpe books and the Flashman series for the third time.

      It will be interesting to see how the BBC operates on a reduced Foreign aid budge. Its overseas reach as largely funded by the Mysterious “Foreign office’ under the last Charter Review. The BBC was asked to pay for it out of the TV license, and it did get grants for that, but the said it would push up the TV license. Now its hidden, by whoever pays the BBC for ‘export’ propaganda. Its a mix of slush money from the EU, Dubai or Qatar, Bill Gates or Soros as well as unofficial ‘aid’ doled out by the Clinton, Obhama, Biden administration for ‘overseas aid’ to pervert nations for profit.

    I think Reform should publish the price it would be without all the green crap/subsidies.
    Using the local fuels we used to use and building small nuclear reactors instead of shipping in gas from the Middle East or wood pellets from Canada.

    No carbon capture or GB Energy (£27 billion cost)

    Just think of the poster showing something like with Reform it would cost £800 per annum (a guess)
