    I will go first beating Scrobie and non-lp to it. The BBC is vile. Although ian an attempt to redeem themselves the BBC on R4 this afternoon had a programme about the Israeli hostages.

      Fed, I looked at the clock and thought ‘I wonder if Fed has put the Midweek Thread up’. 🙂 … and so he had. The page would not load properly (internet gremlins?) so I was denied most of my editing time; I see I have had to leave a typo in my post.

      Ha ha ha – Fed and Uppers!

      I was actually doing just that – I’m the only bloke in the UK who’s organising a BBQ this Friday, so today was spent getting everything ready, and a box-set of ‘Hustle’, followed by a ‘Minder’ was the antidote to tiredness, and a general depletion of the tincture intake…

      Just to say, ‘Talk’ was on fire earlier about all the real victims of the rape gang cover-up leaving the cast, as it’s clear that the knobs in gummint have their grubby hands on the tiller, and are trying everything to delay the investigation to keep their voters happy in suspect cities.

      This one will run and run, and the bBC will have to take notice soon, whether they like it or not!

        The early series of Hustle were excellent with Mickey Stone played by Adrian Lester being the brains for the gang. It was never as good when Danny, played by Mark Warren became the supposed brains. In those days I wasn’t aware of there being deliberate positive portrayal of black men on the tv. I could believe that Adrian Lester was the best man for the role.

    Am I alone in sensing a strong whiff of hypocrisy at the sudden explosion of Far Left Labour MPs being concerned with poor value for taxpayers?
    Prince Andrew’s low annual rent for his accommodation may have cost us a few £ million over the last 20 years which I do not condone. MPs are aghast.
    So let us consider the costs of one full rubberised channel ferry crossing.
    Say, 50 people.
    In a hotel for a year, say £50 per night.
    That’s over £900,000.
    Now let’s say 36,500 illegals per year. Which it is, approximately, and enables easy calculation.
    100 per day. 2 boats of the ones described above.
    Suddenly we are at £665 million pa. Not to include legal aid, free healthcare, dentistry, eye tests, pocket money, free phones, entertainment, plus crimes committed and the costs of investigation, process, and prison time etc etc. Shall we just agree a round £1 billion pa?

    And what have the same Far Leftists complaining about Prince Andrew’s house got to say about that?

    Absolutely nothing.
    The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

      Sluff ,
      I also hear the lefties and thus BBC saying the same about anyone arriving here are welcome if they make a “contribution ” .

      Is this “contribution” voluntary ? As in someone with a bucket rings the new arrivals doorbell and asks can they “contribute ” to the UK economy , put in the pail whatever they think they can afford ?

      What they really mean is that the immigrants get a job and pay some tax .Which in the vast majority of migrants means they do not pay their way .
      They do not pay their way . Period . End of discussion .

      Have they already paid for the massive costs of increasing the infrastructure for the massive increase of the population ? Have they paid for the bureaucracy to to administer their arrival ? Have they paid for the security to monitor them ?

      Let`s remember if immigration is so good for a country then all our recent arrivals should be sent to countries and places that need a leg up more than we do – like Africa , Venuzuala , Bangladesh etc .

    Shabana Mahmood has said the enquiry will not be watered down ON MY WATCH.
    If it starts getting some truths coming out, even only 5% of what’s really happening, she will be promoted, moved or whatever. Too many police, politicians, council workers and the like are involved.

    Mind, if you were to have an enquiry into anything you would find huge corruption. HS2 costs, PPE during covid, NHS spending, so many snouts in troughs.

    The Nation wants Maggie Oliver to Chair this enquiry but I bet she will not be allowed to. Even some unknown NZ or Canadian Judge would likely be a labour sympathiser being nudged and encouraged to arrive at the correct conclusions.

    Nobody trusts the politicians and their State public servants.

    It’s Diwali.
    The Festival of Light.
    But here in Amritsar on Thames it’s more like the Festival of Noise.
    Bang bang bang crack crack bang bang. The fireworks go off incessantly from dusk to 11 pm.

    Whatever happened to courtesy and consideration for school kids, the elderly, and pets? We get all the warnings for Bonfire Night (remember that?) so why not Diwali?

    TTK.

    BREAKING: Bob Vylan accidentally admits that BBC staff cheered his “death to the IDF” chant.
    Louis Theroux tried to brush it off — but Bob just couldn’t keep quiet.
    The BBC is fully a propaganda outlet.

    This is true. Louis was the one Jimmy Savile bragged to as well?
