    Well, I will go first. I have had a day of internet woes caused by Malwarebytes. It has certainly bitten me!

    The BBC bite, too. They were biting Israel. The Montacutie was biting Israel. The BBC cannot get over their pro-Hamas bias. Defund the BBC! You know it makes sense. 🙂

    I think I can beat you – a currently by the med …. Bit stormy … but the power is less than dependable and goes for no reason at all . So when I’m in the UK I’ll be fully up to speed with third world power reliability …
    It certainly disciplines one to be fully charged all the time – including a full tank …. And reserve bottled water…. And a jet boil …

      Pretty sure we will be importing the 3rd world power unreliability into the UK. So called smart meters mean our power is easily turnable offable.

      Power people refer to our milliwatt grid having low inertia. As heavy turbines are turned off and new electronic power converters are switched on any small spike or disturbance means these devices instantly disconnect from the grid as what happened in Portugal and Spain recently.

      I well remember the day that a Sandy gas powered station and a North sea wind turbine went bang resulting in no trains in Cranebridge for the evening. I had cycled into Cranebridge with the Cranebridgeshire mayor that day, then when the trains would not run I had to drive into the city to pickup a stranded daughter.

      Apparently during the Ehewww power outage seven people died. Which brings into perspective the little khants drive to ban ICE cars from londonistan because a small girl *might* have died from traffic fumes.

      But vital medical equipment, folk trapped in lifts, doors that wont open? Welcome to the brave new world of non resilience.

      The thing is with the likes of the little khant and der starmer. They are addicted to power, in more ways than one.

        atlas_shrugged, I note that in her Spending Review, Rachel from accounts mentioned reviving the car industry. I assume that mean the electric car industry because when the lights go out you need a legion of hamsters to generate power to re-charge your EV. Those with horses or donkeys will be O.K.. 😉 🙂

    Gardens £10m revamp inspired by Southport victims
    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/crr74qw2pyko

    So what background do the BBC give us to the nature of what happened to these victims to warrant such a monument to their deaths ?.

    ‘lsie, aged seven, Alice, nine, and Bebe, six, were killed in the Southport knife attack at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in July.’

    That’s it. After that it’s pure empathy. Given the positive tone of the report, one might even think the attack was good thing !. They certainly don’t give any reference at all to the horror behind it all. No mention of who did it and no links to any other articles for people to read the background.

    ‘”By putting children, families and the arts at its core, we’re creating a space that honours the memory of Elsie, Alice and Bebe in the most meaningful way: by inspiring future generations.”

    It reminds me of George Floyd : the BBC would re-hash the story and retell it in every article for many months after this career criminal drug dealer got unlawfully killed while resisting arrest under the influence of drugs.

    This is how they push their agenda. Lies by repetition and lies by omission.

    I see the council who have originated this cover-up have 50 out of 56 members of the Labour party and this is the leader:

    bigpic.jpg

    Exactly what I expected.

    Clearly this is one of the Labour councils our disgraceful government removed from the local elections to preserve it’s Labour status. That’s democracy for you – Left style.

    Still no word on the name of the 21 year-old Graz school shooter? Will it be Franz, Hans, or Willie?

    The delay worries me that they are getting the Salzburg-choirboy-who-had-been-bullied narrative lined up. Given the 21 year-old was an ex-pupil it should not need much detective work to find out his name.

    But then I forget when I were a lad we were always getting slotted by ex-pupils who had been bullied.

      They hide them all now for the same reason : to stop people knowing they are Muslims or other immigrants until the story dies down for at least 24 hours.

      They stopped telling us it was whitey straight away when everyone realised their racist game.

      It makes me laugh when the Lefties try to tell us the police are just doing their job and keeping them anonymous until they are charged. I’ve seen PLENTY of accused named before that.

      The BBC live streaming Cliff Richards house being raided and telling the world it’s likely he is a peodophile springs immediately to mind.

      If the left didn’t have double standards, they would have none at all.

      Goody : can’t wait to see how many years Lammy insists Ricky Jones gets for telling a Muslim mob to cut the throats of right-wing protestors.

      At least 12 seems fair considering the other sentences handed out AND he pleaded not guilty. Someone starting a fire OUTSIDE an Asylum hotel got 9 years. No chance anyone would be killed because of that – they would just go out the fire doors.

      But of course the favourite is 2 years suspended. Because our disgustingly corrupt system put this judge on it and hence he has only been charged with ‘encouraging violent disorder’ instead of ‘incitement to murder’.

    Drones buzz for hours over Kyiv as Russia steps up assault
    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvg5yjnw7dlo

    And once again the BBC churn out ridiculous rhetoric which only means people like me trust what they write even less than I did before.

    ‘The SBU’s Dehtiarenko says Russia is making constant modifications.
    “Russian engineers have been tasked with increasing their destructive power in order to maximise devastation and civilian casualties,” he said.’
    Propaganda Goebbels would be proud of. Where are all these civilians casualties BBC ?. Do you think they might be increasing their power for the targets they ACTUALLY hit but you do not tell us about ?. Where are BBC Verify for this ? – all you do is repeat Unranian propaganda these days.

    It’s just nonsense from start to finish.
    ‘Apartment blocks and office buildings were among the locations hit on Monday. Kyiv generally avoids saying if damage was caused to anything that might be considered a military target.’
    ‘But a statement from the culture ministry said that for the first time, Kyiv’s St Sophia cathedral felt the impact.’
    So was that a militray target BBC ?. And the deliberately misleading part with that statement is are the strange wording of ‘felt the impact’. It wasn’t hit at all. A shock wave damaged ‘a plastered cornice’ on an outside corner.

    No mention of why Russia might have stepped up their offensive. The story of the attacks on the airfields deep inside Russia seem to have been erased for some reason. Maybe to pretend Russia don’t have any reason. It seems to me that those attacks had been planned for a long time and had been waiting for a reason to use them to escalate the conflict. And also at the same time the West removed any range restrictions of weapon use against Russia.

    Isn’t it amazing how these events keep happening when someone is trying to stop the war ?. And the finger always points at the West.

    ​BBC’s doing their expected online screamer about Rachel Thieves’ SPENDING, SPENDING, SPENDING, SPENDING, SPENDING, SPENDING …

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c2lk21qz5vzt

    When TTK started this fiasco last July, it was all doom and gloom, with lies about a £22bn ‘black hole’ , and the Far Left BBC rolled over with the lie, because it was anti Tory and certainly anti Reform!

    Now, apparently, the economy has grown so much, and we are all so rich, that the snivel serpents will have £40bn to waste on more jobs for their underworked layabouts to ‘administer’.

    Er – where’s the money actually coming from Wendolene Ramsbotham? (No need to look her up, the likeness is exact – think Wallace and Gromit’s shopkeeper)!

    Oh yes, yet more tax in the autumn – silly me – this is just more of labour’s marxism in action once again. Expect more fawning from the financial ‘experts’ the Cubiclists roll out on occasions like this. I wonder who’ll they have on, because there must be an awful lot of short-dial lefties dribbling and waiting for the call and must be having a sh**, sh*** and a sh**** right now in preparation for the cameras.

    Noone will believe a word of the Beeboids’ unctuous subservience.

    The grim reality of the state of our country and it’s likely future is now being written about in the Telegraph. Today , Allison Pearson and Annabelle Denham both have columns in which they write about the breakdown of trust between ordinary Brits and those in authority.
    Alison’s reflects on how Telegraph readers are now anti police and Annabelle speculates on the growing likelihood of civil war! The most Tory , law and order , right of centre , patriotic newspaper in the land is talking about the growing gulf that exists between the governed and those who govern.
    Only last week another Telegraph columnist Allister Heath was warning that societal breakdown was becoming increasingly likely.
    Comments under all three articles indicate that the readership agrees with the columnist. If these columnists and this newspaper are writing and publishing this they must be getting really worried. And it they are then , although they may not admit it, so must the rest of the establishment. Will they reverse their policies of anti Britishness or will they double down on them?
    I used to think that , being 73 , the balloon would go up when I was dead but now I’m not so sure, it might happen sooner than that.

    If you’re the BBC, you’re presented with a bit of a conundrum reporting-wise to puzzle over this morning. There’s protests – race riots of a sort seemingly all over the place – but is you for or agin?

    On the one hand, there’s some somewhat violent burny looty ‘protests’ over there in the States: LA Mayor Karen Bass has declared a curfew for parts of downtown Los Angeles in response to looting and violence during protests against immigration raids… One protester has just run past showing me a large weald on his chest… a few small clusters of protesters, in twos and threes, some still carrying flags, engaged in a game of cat and mouse across this square mile of city centre space. (John Sudworth, Reporting in Los Angeles, BBC – apparently embedded with the protesters – or at least reporting from their point of view)

    But on the other hand: Fireworks and bottles thrown at police in second night of Ballymena violence… Petrol bombs, projectiles and fireworks were thrown at police on Tuesday night, in a second night of serious disorder… violent disorder, described by police as “racially motivated” (Lyndsey Telford & Faye Kidd, BBC News NIBBC – very much on the cop’s side of the barricades)

    Opposite sides of the immigration reation coin on opposite sides of the pond – there’s a common denominator behind all the aggro of course – rapid government-sanctioned mass immigration policies forced on western cities and towns. From the fabled west coast City of Angels to backwater boondocks Ulster… the multicultural test tube experiment inevitably fizzes and boils over.

    Now for one of those prized State of the Nation moments from the newspapers: Anyone got a spare jet? Red Arrows running out of planes… Top brass told: Display fleet soon down to 6 (The Sun)

    And there we were hoping the Red Arrows were about to do a seven colours of the rainbow smoke trail over Buckingham Palace in celebration of Pride Month.

    As Britain suffers from the loveless landslide election win by the honeymoon-less least popular most quickly lowest rated PM…

    Our junior poundshop Guardian that is the i paper turns its attention to foreign affairs: Has Putin’s downfall begun? i writers offer their perspective

    But on the other hand: Exclusive Russia could attack Europe again within three years, warns Nato official (i paper)

    So which is it? Putin on the way out or marching west with snow on his boots?

    Escape to Victory, 1981, was sports war film (ah, that somewhat neglected male audience friendly genre the sports war film) directed by John Huston and starring Sylvester Stallone, Michael Caine, Max von Sydow and Pelé. The film is about Allied prisoners of war who are interned in a German prison camp during the Second World War who play an exhibition match of football against a German team.

    Just think, if we’d lost World War Two our newspapers might be written in German – the England football team manager might be a German… Tuchel’s England flop again (i paper)

        Grok : For the financial year 2024/25, the UK government’s total managed expenditure is budgeted at approximately £1,226 billion. With a UK population of around 69 million, this equates to roughly £17,768 per person
        Dividing the total expenditure by the economically active population 33m gives approximately £36,707 per economically active person.
        The economically active population (those aged 16-64 who are employed or actively seeking work) is estimated at around 33.4 million, based on ONS labour market data for 2024.

        Spending is lower in England and higher thru Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland

    Allison Pearson in the DT on the TTK plod – good stuff – she’s at the top her game – cut their pay until they do their job

    START
    Readers of this newspaper will, throughout its long history, have been among the most ardent supporters of the police. We are traditionally pro law and order and take a dim view of rotters. It feels like that time is well and truly over.
    Monday’s main Telegraph story, in advance of Wednesday’s spending review by Rachel Reeves, which reported the concerns of senior officers that the police service is “broken” and that underpaid and overworked personnel are leaving in droves because of funding cuts, attracted well over two thousand comments. They ranged from “Diddums” to “It’s all your own stupid fault” with a good deal of colourful hostility in between. Honestly, you would struggle to find more derogatory remarks among the police’s long-running foes at The Guardian.
    I noticed a similarly unsympathetic reaction a week ago when Met chief Sir Mark Rowley protested that police would have to choose which crimes to investigate if they didn’t get more cash. As if the public, until now, had enjoyed a superb and rapid response to its burglaries, muggings, car, bike and phone thefts and our town centres positively thrummed with the purposeful presence of bobbies on the beat

    Yes, Sir Mark, times must really be hard if you can only send six officers to arrest a retired police volunteer over a single tweet,” sneered one disgruntled taxpayer, perfectly capturing the mood of seething resentment.

    This collapse in trust is as precipitous as it is shocking. A widespread feeling has clearly taken hold that police are no longer doing the job we expect them to do, while interfering in things that are none of their damn business.
    The story of the London couple who were obliged last week to “steal back” their own car after being told by police they did not know when they would be able to investigate thieves who took the Jaguar away on a flat-bed truck (but do call 101 if you find it, they were told) presents a snapshot of a frustrated public having to take the law into their own hands like a group of extremely polite, Emma Bridgewater-owning vigilantes.
    While many physical crimes go largely ignored, activist constabularies are doing a roaring trade in online offences. The preposterous yet sinister non-crime hate incidents (NCHIs), an Orwellian development of the College of Policing back in 2014, are frequently cited by police critics, as is the clampdown on free speech which is increasingly used to suppress popular discontent about things like the annual £4.7 billion bill to keep migrants in hotels and look after them.
    Those of us who, for some strange reason, think it’s outrageous to spend the equivalent of every single penny in tax paid by the population of Manchester on accommodating tens of thousands of young males who broke into our country, used to be called “racists”. But I see we have got a promotion, ladies and gentlemen. According to Prevent [a counter-terrorism programme], we are no longer racists, we are “terrorists”! If we dare to express doubts about uncontrolled immigration and lack of integration, that is.
    That’s the same Prevent which failed to prevent Axel Rudakubana slaughtering a dance class of little girls. And which, according to a 2023 report by Sir William Shawcross, concentrates too much on the largely mythical “far Right” and not enough on Islamist terror.
    The College of Policing, I am reliably informed, encourages the same delusional appeasement of the group which poses by far the biggest threat to our national security. The criminalising of the white indigenous population, running in parallel to the woke appeasement of actual criminals, goes some way to explaining this new cordial loathing of the police, I think. Unbelievably, over 60 of our fellow citizens are slapped with an NCHI every single day for “hateful” thoughts or conduct, many of them Monty Pythonesque in their absurdity

    While senior police moan about Home Secretary Yvette Cooper not winning them a big enough payout in the spending review, there seem to be adequate funds to arrest and stigmatise law-abiding people. Only this week, I got a very worried email from a reader, Carolyn, who had complained to the police about a man who has been camping for several weeks in the park where her children play. The surrounding area stinks of urine and faeces and there are scattered remnants of drug use. When Carolyn and other mums walk past they have seen the man put his hand down his trousers to play with himself. The camper’s appearance suggested to her that he was an African migrant. “Using the term ‘migrant’ therefore did not strike me as anything other than a fair assumption,” says Carolyn.
    Uh-oh. Obviously, in the bonkers world of PC policing it will now be the anxious lady who complained about a threat to her community who is warned about causing trouble. “It would seem that any offence caused to me is secondary to the offence of Hate Crime,” Carolyn says. Correct.
    An officer emailed Carolyn to say that police did not have the powers to remove the tent from the park. “With regard to the hand down the trousers,” he said, “Many people from all different backgrounds do this as a cultural/social trend and have done for a while, we often see members of the public doing this all around the city. We will speak with him about this though and advise him of the perception this could cause. I also suggest you reframe (sic) from referring to him as a ‘migrant’ and making comments about ‘Are we paying him to take the proverbial out of us all?’… These can be seen as derogative (sic) terms and possibly a hate crime, especially when you probably know nothing about him.”
    If you seek a perfect illustration of why the police service is “broken” and officers are deserting in droves, look no further than this jaw-dropping inversion of good and bad guys. Intimidating man from alien culture seemingly exposing himself in public and peeing, crapping and doing drugs where your kids play? Completely fine, culturally appropriate, nothing to be done about it. Englishwoman suggests the man is a “migrant” who is taking advantage of our absurdly generous system? Oh dear, oh dear – your hurty words will be taken down, Madam, and used in evidence against you.
    Now, it’s a fair bet that many of the public-spirited young people who aspire to become police officers still think it is Carolyn’s side they should be on. A rookie error, I’m afraid. “Recruits who join the force don’t realise the police are so captured,” a senior source tells me.
    Officers now lack maturity and experience
    Police retention has been a problem for a long time. It’s got much worse since the higher echelons subscribed to the anti-white Critical Race Theory and adopted a witless, Leftist ideology that would have been abhorrent to their predecessors. The number of resignations in the police started to exceed the number of retirements nationally around 2023.
    What this means in practice, as I was told after Essex Police came to my own door on Remembrance Sunday, is that many officers now lack the experience and maturity to make common-sense decisions and bin spurious allegations of racial hatred that flatter the identity-politics obsessions of their superiors.
    “It’s not uncommon for uniform shifts to be about 50 per cent probationers, and they might be running with an acting sergeant barely out of his probationary period (two years) in some cases,” warns my source. The Conservatives’ decision, in 2020, to lower the application age to 17 (to join at 18) as part of their training means that a lot of young people without much life experience, who don’t know what they’re letting themselves in for, find policing a nasty shock to the system. Once they’re in, probationers have to cope with complicated, badly-designed computer systems that add hours to already heavy workloads. They have very little time to conduct inquiries and pick up more and more stressful cases, meanwhile having to deal with the aggressive, ever-more-volubly-entitled, human-rights-aware dregs of our society.
    After all that, if you can still muster the courage to be a first-class constable who fiercely defends the public against wrong ‘uns but swears a bit and leaves violent offenders feeling they weren’t treated with enough dignity then expect your Pontius Pilate of a chief constable to throw you under the Hurty Feelings bus. That is exactly what happened to Lorne Castle, a Dorset officer who has twice won a national bravery award, including one for rescuing an elderly woman from a swollen river in 2023.
    A shameful betrayal
    The 46-year-old father of three was dismissed without notice for gross misconduct after bodycam footage captured him trying to arrest a teenager who was believed to have assaulted an elderly man (the boy, who later turned out to be carrying a knife). If you watch the footage, you can experience the frightening, febrile atmosphere in which Lorne Castle was trying to carry out his thankless task. He shouted and swore, telling the lad: “Stop resisting or I’m going to smash you.”
    A veteran officer tells me that “it looked like a good arrest”. But a panel found PC Castle did not treat the teenager with “courtesy” or “respect”, and Dorset Police said “his shouting, swearing, finger pointing, taking hold of the boy’s face and throat and suggested use of leg restraints was not necessary, reasonable or proportionate”. The force said no further action was taken against the teenager – of course it wasn’t! – but he was issued with an out of court disposal for possessing the knife.
    I ask you, why would anybody risk phone seizures, suspensions and months of stress over complaints that usually turn out to be baseless but which see them treated like criminals? While clueless top brass in their woke ivory towers put saving their career before protecting their officers. In my book, a man of the calibre of Lorne Castle is worth more to the people of this country than every chief constable put together.
    So let us hear no more whingeing about underfunding leading to reduced services and driving officers away. Blame a warped sense of priorities promoted by activist police chiefs, a shameful betrayal of the British bobby and the demonisation of ordinary people for expressing legitimate fears. If the police have lost the support of Telegraph readers, then they are lost indeed.ENDS

    May I summarise – plod is run by woke careerists who hate the British public but love the imports – plod on the ground is mainly a bunch of kids who done last very long unless they such up to their woke bosses .

    So don’t trust them –

      ‘MI5’s watchlist includes approximately 43,000 extremists, with the vast majority being Islamist extremists’

      If the infidels clamp down on one Muslim, they ALL take offence at it as an insult to Islam. And if they think Allah (via his instruction book) wants them to kill whoever did it, any one of those tens of thousands would do it in a heartbeat.

      Hence the only way to avoid serious social confrontation and violence which might spiral into civil war is to put down those who might make them angry. And the way to do that was demonstrated perfectly after Southport.

      The part I remember most was a group of Muslims carrying weapons running right through a group of police to confront the whiteys – and the police did absolutely nothing. They totally ignored them.

      That kind of behaviour tells me that they were following direct orders to leave the Muslims alone. It represented a step-change to me of how bad things have become here.

      The media are supposed to be the check and balance to stop this kind of thing developing. But they are now infested with left-wing activists and have failed completely. The police are the last line of defence.

      I often wonder what the Leftist idiots think the end game is here. A society where everyone lives in harmony ?. The world is littered with examples : first they take over areas, then they change those areas to mini-Islamic states. Whitey is gradually expelled with their form of ethnic cleansing (usually involving murdering schoolteacher and the like) and they impose their own rules and laws. If the ‘state’ tries to bring them back under control, the terrorism starts.

      They don’t have the numbers here yet – but they will have before too long. And then it is too late.

      Lisbet Rausing, who owns 57,000 acres of land near Fort William, has donated hundreds of thousands of pounds to energy secretary Ed Miliband…..!!!

      Heiress to the Swedish Tetra-Pak billions and Highland landowner Lisbet Rausing paid more than £400,000 to Labour last year, with some of the cash used to cover staffing costs related to energy secretary Ed Miliband’s “frontbench role” when he was in opposition.

    Labour are to decriminalise rough sleeping in the UK after 200 years….

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/czdyz848j0no

    No plans of course to provide the rough sleepers with lodging, cash, bank cards, phones, health care etc. free of charge as they do with another group of people with no income or houses etc.

    Talk about unfairness…. Smacks of sheer hypocrisy to me!

      The problem of homelessness could be solved for much less than the approximately £5 billion being spent annually on housing invaders and illegals in hotels and such. But when the country is being (mis)ruled by fanatically anti-British, globalist xenophiles, the needs of the indigenous population are not just low on the list – they’re not even on the list at all.

There is a monthly expectation that within the first week of a new month, the Met Office will declare the last month’s temperatures will be the, “highest on record”. Personally, I think they’re misleading the public. We all know why…………..

    If a chain can be set up round the country of interested volunteers armed with enthusiasm and a fairy accurate thermometer and a program the volunteers could doubtless prove the met office are lying. Any takers to volunteer?

    Percentages?

    new social housing(10%), to green energy schemes(90%), to new transport links (0%)

    One of the reasons the chancellor has been able to do this is that <sshe changed the fiscal rules in her 2024 Budget to target a balance in only day-to-day spending, rather than total spending, enabling her to borrow more for capital projects.
