Carney loves China.
From the bbbc webshite four days ago.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c98pj370mjjo
Any follow up to this article after he’s actually talked with Xi?
Any trade announcements?
Any ‘closer ties’?
Tucked away in ‘World News’ under the ‘US & Canada’ heading two days ago.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cm24k6kk1rko
Two quotes from Carney in this piece stand out.
‘Carney told reporters on Friday that “the world has changed” in recent years, and the progress made with China sets Canada up “well for the new world order”.’
‘Canada’s relationship with China, he added, had become “more predictable” than its relationship with the US under the Trump administration.’
So Mark Carney, Canadian PM, ex- Bank of England, globalist shill, WEF stooge, chum of Starmer, Macron and Albanese invites China onto the same continent as the US, in what they regard as their hemisphere, and Trump is supposed to accept it?
This Canadian government, ideologically in cahoots with the EU and all of the others, including our own, who are actively attempting to destroy Western society as we know it to create ‘a new world order’ are jumping into bed with China and the US are supposed to suck it up?
A NATO ally granting a hostile nation further access to the resources it craves while openly insulting and disrespecting your largest trading partner and closest neighbour?
I’ve no doubt Trump covets the resources of Greenland but he also recognises it’s military and security significence and also it’s obvious vulnerability. The outrage of the Europeans is I think a red herring, the US haven’t put any troops on Greenland have they, it’s been all talk so far, but the ‘EU’ have. Why? Just another excuse for an EU Army, of funding European arms manufacturers and a way of avoiding any further NATO payments? Canada is a less than 4 hours flight away from Greenland and Canada have sold themselves out to the Chinese. What’s to stop the EU doing it next? Trump? But he’s the next Hitler apparently.
I think that a bit of research, and some honest reporting, might put the actions of the EU and their willing accomplice Starmer with regards to Greenland, and Trumps subsequent reaction to it, into a bit more perspective and calm the manufactured hysteria down a bit as well.
Forgot to mention that although Trump ‘extracted’ Madura supposedly because of his drug-smuggling into the US it was no coincidence that it was done a few hours after Venezuela had agreed to closer ties and more trade with China.
If I was Carney I’d be bricking it.
I remember the serious war games played only weeks ago by China. Bombard the air space, position warships around the island, fire missiles around the island, practice landing troops. All evidence of a hostile nation bent on intimidation eh? Only problem is, the island in question was Taiwan and the only report I’ve seen on any similar displays of hostilities in/around Greenland do not exist. I did see a video of some sort of senior Greenlander who said that Greenland has never seen any Russian or Chinese vessels hovering around their coastline.
On bonfire night, as a kid, I used to enjoy the Squibs. “Light blue touch paper and retire to a safe distance”. You watched the squib randomly fire off and unpredictably land somewhere before the next minor explosion taking the squib off in a completely random direction before exhausting itself with these actions. But, now a four year Squib.
“Zelensky says Ukraine’s air defence supplies ‘insufficient”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cj3vl3ezznno
Tried of this war and BBC’s love for Zekensky.
“Kyiv’s Mayor Vitali Klitschko said most of the capital had been left without heating and a “huge shortage of electricity” for the first time in the war.”
He’s a basically a draft dodger and his adult boys are safe in Germany.
Ukrainians have no interest in peace, I’m past caring.
They’re lucky Putin is fighting as a special military operation , and not a full scale war.

No bias guv, honest
In a parallel train of thought, I wonder what the reception would be if a bunch of Brits started protesting against Starmer in Libya?
Why do these rag-tag third World geezers think they can run amok in this country when they would get short shrift in their own?
Because of our laughing stock ‘PM’ Starmer. Weak, indecisive and irrelevant now on the world stage. Gets pushed around and capitulates in every negotiation. He must hide in his room every weekend and prepare for humiliation at every Prime Ministers Questions mid week.
Now we are going to let the Chinese open a dodgy mega embassy against the advice of experts. Think the official announcement is tomorrow. He will probably be out of the country again, so no UK press can grill him.
‘News’ from the BBC Moaning Emole
“Starmer to give speech amid Greenland row”
I’ll alert anyone who cares.
Soft targets, they couldn’t cope with anything more. The shower of shit shown here, containing more female officers than can possibly be effective in any real riot situation, surely must realise that.
Or maybe not. The group hugs and pats on each others backs kind of suggests otherwise, they really think this is how it goes. It’s no wonder so many of them get hurt when there is any semblance of real violence. They really do think they are in control, that they’re calling the shots. Throw them over here to NI for a bit of a wake-up the next time it really kicks-off.
Policing like this relies on the ‘rioters’ still possessing some sort of self-control, still maintaining boundaries, respecting the ‘rule of law’, but any level of respect is being eroded daily across the country by policing like this. It really relies on the native population accepting the status quo and on appeasing those non-natives who won’t. The truth is that while the police ‘services’ believe that they are in control our nation in the main still polices itself because at the minute it can. Inadequates like these can’t and won’t when the need inevitably comes.
It’s really only a matter of time before the physical capabilities and weaknesses of our police services are really highlighted and some seriously deluded people in uniform are going to get seriously hurt.
YouTube suddenly pushing anti-Trump MSM videos at me.
IT used to be biased in the way it hid a lot of righties videos
Then since Trump2 it changed, as if no longer acting for libmob.
But just the last 2 days it’s started giving me a news bar which it’s never done before
And that features anti-Trump videos about Greenland all from MSM
The algorithm must know I never watch MSM news videos. I blocked most UK newspapers ages ago
So this bar pushes London Evening Standard then The Irish Mirtor, Then Manchester Evening News
.. I click “never recommend this channel” each time
And the page is also filling up with 2 and 3 year old videos
So it’s hiding newer videos from peopke I follow
Doing exactly the same to me Stew, all left-leaning news channels full of anti-Trump rhetoric, and I am suddenly plagued with the TikTok-like YouTube Shorts.
Any from Don Lemon?
Or has BBC Editorial dealt with them?
Yep, YT is sneaky as …. depending on if I’m on phone or on PC desktop things change – but – they are jamming the message and people that score low on the actively like Labour / Starmer scale are getting their video watching and subscription notifications buggered up big time – I’ve see several channel subscriptions just deleted….
Then there’s the AI slop and also infuriatingly they were messing with autorolling video as you scroll – it was maddening as YT Android app kept killing audio from podcast I was listening to in the background – never happened before.
Curated just for you …..
The plan was hatched pre COVID?
Pitchforks at the ready folks!
With advertisements a necessary extra……………..
How will our Worlds Most Trusted Broadcaster deal with that counter feature?
What nobody is mentioning or maybe making a song and dance about is that when Starmer says 16 year olds can’t access social media everyone else has to prove their age as well…and reveal their identity….which is something they have wanted for a long time.
This long BBC report somehow fails to mention this Stalinist requirement….there’s more to it than just a ‘ban on under 16s’….

Times Radio reporting that 56 Tonnes of copper cabling has been stolen from RAF Wyton.
The cable drums were loaded onto a flat bed truck and the gang smiled and waved at the security gate as they drove out of the base.
RAF Wyton is home to the ‘rock apes’ who were spying on us during the covid plandemic. They are the RAF answer to 77-brigade.
This gives such a warm comfy feeling that all our digital information will be secure in our guberments hands. Our bank details, health records, address, tax info, library books etc etc.

Dover – i am sort of fascinated by the anti ICE videos I get fed of middle aged white American women fighting federal agents to stop baddies being deported . Thd derangement is weird – as is the demography …
@Fedup2
In essence, the same as over here.
Remember the Greenham Common women? The Imperial War Museum at Duxford has a special display about the ‘Greenham Women’ which can be seen in the US Air Force aircraft display hangar. Seems wrong somehow, but that’s the woke museum managers of today. They’ll be wimmin of course, same as with the National Trust.
Dover
I don’t get it – is it some sort of sexual frustration thing ? Screaming about ‘rights ‘ and ‘entitlements ‘ when put in their place as the federals do their job … maybe they get off on being ‘victims ‘…
Combination of multiple things:
1. Many of these women do not have male partners. Being overweight, physically unattractive, having strange coloured hair and possessing deranged feminist attitudes are not useful characteristics for attracting mates.
2. Women have different drivers than men. Men are focused on protecting the group, the tribe, against external threats. Women have more focus on producing and protecting their own offspring, regardless of its source, and are more adept at fitting into different groups in pursuit of that end. These are evolutionary characteristics, not things which are necessarily considered on a conscious level.
3. Multiple studies have indicated that liberal women often tend to think of migrants as vulnerable and child-like and in need of protection. This brings out the mothering instinct which, being inherent, can apply to even the most hardened feminist.
4. The media constantly pushes the message that White women should partner with coloured men. Mixed race couples of this genre dominant advertising and are massively out of proportion to reality by a factor of up to 50 in Western media. This is reinforced by the portrayal of White men as foolish, stupid, boorish and hence not good partners. This constant drip-drip propaganda does eventually take hold.
5. Not withstanding point 3 above, coloured migrants can also be seen as strong and forceful, showing initiative and dominance by their actions. The violent nature of some migrants also has an appeal to some women, resulting in a sort of Stockholm Syndrome whereby they are driven to try to subdue and manage them.
Good answer, Ian Rushlow.
Calais Jungle volunteers accused of ‘sexually exploiting’ camp’s refugees Exclusive: The allegations have caused anger and division among charity workers at the camp
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/calais-jungle-volunteers-sex-refugees-allegations-facebook-care4calais-a7312066.html
The Independent has discovered a serious row has broken out among some unpaid charity workers at the camp in northern France, with some believing forging sexual relationships with adult refugees is natural in such circumstances, while others say it breaches all usual codes of conduct.
One man who raised the alarm was later subjected to a barrage of online abuse.
TTK is to do one of those grave and serious lecture jobs today – Monday – presumably he is going to declare war on the US … with all white males being instantly conscripted ….
Pop corn time … i am routing for President Trump …
BTW – Starmer wasn’t planning to see his WEF masters at Davos this week – but I’d bet he will be going after today …. Meanwhile Farage has been criticised because he has been planning to go all along .
Farage must go to position Reform as a valid government party in waiting …but I saw how much criticism the BBC and rest of the Far Left dished out to him …
The Islamic Broadcasting Corporation are clearly hoping the Iranian uprising story will just go away and die down. Still almost nothing on their webshite. The most significant event in the world right now, and the BBC prefers to endlessly fret about Greenland.
The only article about Iran is some useless piece about the Internet shutdown, which is really just an excuse for not reporting the real story of the heroic uprising against Islam and the murderous crackdown by the Islamic regime.
They haven’t got any journalists near there apparently, Vlad.
Well, we knew that already…

You find your Mr AsI in a particularly disagreeable state this morning – no, I don’t refer to Starmer’s Yookay – I’m in a bad mood after reading our media this Monday morn.
Starmer to give Downing Street speech as Trump plans 10% tariffs in Greenland row… Watch Live – salivates our BBC
As if I give two hoots.
Of course our personality by-pass victim failing PM is going to lean into this prize turkey of a non-issue. There’s the epidemic of Trumpophobia to consider and an opportunity to pal up with his mates in Brussels and Davos. That’s where his friends are. Afterall, the British public, his own back benchers and even his cabinet colleagues all dearly wish the man would go away.
I’m oddly reminded of that ancient gag about the chap who declared on a Monday morning “I don’t want to go to school. I hate the school, all the pupils hate me. All the teachers hate me” – “But you have to go to school, dear” replied his mother “You’re the headmaster!”
One jokes how the EU besotted FT ought to rebrand itself as The Brussels Trumpet – or perhaps The Mid-Belgian Courier and Advertiser: EU primes €93bn retalitory tariffs to parry Trump’s Greenland threats… Leverage meeting at Davos
Parry – there’s your unexpected verb of the day.
But it’s not just the FT – crony capitalist echoes socialistic public sector doyen the Guardian: EU weighs €93bn retaliation for Trump’s Greenland ‘blackmail’
Are the EU priming or are they weighing, so as to parry, we wonder?
Time for a tabloid take on the story to clear the confusion: ‘Pirate’ Trump snubbed (Daily Star)
As if all this wasn’t depressing enough…
Greenland’s future is for its people to decide, Nandy says… Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy (BBC)
She has a point perhaps. Maybe people should decide on the future of their own land? Or maybe not: Shadow Foreign Secretary Lisa Nandy has said one of her “biggest regrets” as an MP is her 2015 abstention on whether to hold an EU referendum as she should have voted against the bill that paved the way for Brexit. (LabourList, 2020)
Seems our Lisa has mastered the art of speaking out of both side of her mouth at one and the same time – she’s clearly a better politican than we’d taken her for.
Fears Iran’s internet shutdown could lead to ‘extreme digital isolation’ (BBC); …abusive behaviours can be hard to spot. They are often pretending to be something else. Control is camouflaging as care. Manipulation is mistaken for love. Sinister behaviours can slip by unnoticed. It’s time to see these behaviours for what they are. Abuse… “Tracking her every move, restricting her from going online… is abuse. Enough. (Enough Campaign Gov.UK)

KHAT USE IN
LAMBETH’S SOMALI
m r
COMMUNITY
Click to access lambeth-khat-report.pdf
Over the last ten years, Streatham and
Stockwell have emerged as centres for the
Somali community in Lambeth with shops, cafés
and other services. The sale and use of khat by
Somalis was implicated as a factor in
community tensions in 2004
There is no established relationship between khat
use and crime in Lambeth. Such crime as can
be attributed to members of the Somali
community is predominantly being committed
by young people. According to the police the
crime generated by the Somali community is not
above, and possibly below, average.
Ditto; Wembley in North London when I was last there (three years ago). The High Streets are plastered with Council warning to not Spit ‘KHAT” onto the pavements for health warning. Its everywhere on the streets, ‘spitting-out’ what is a form of CHEWING TOBACCO that is popular in poor (the poorest) third world countries. Some think ‘world famous’ Wembley Football but when you move ‘off’- the Wembley stadium, into not far away central – its like stepping into the third world centered around the the Mosque which closes all roads near it every midday. Your Shoes literally stick to the pavement outside the station. This you could say is The Mayor of London manor. And has spread to Labour controlled Streathem and Lambeth Councils, in South London is no surprise. Crime at night is usually violent and tribal related to ‘DRUGS’. Scooters everywhere with warning on many shops to alert customers to ‘hand bag’ snatchers theft and Mobile phone thefts locally. To be repeated across the country to a place near you….

WATCH Starmer Gives Emergency Downing Street Press Conference
————————————————————————————–
Keir Starmer has cleared his diary to deliver a Downing Street press conference on Donald Trump’s Greenland threats. Over the weekend Trump announced 10% tariffs on the UK and seven other European countries, rising to 25% on 1 June. Starmer told Trump over the phone yesterday that this was “wrong“. The commentariat is clamouring for Starmer to lay down the law. Good luck with that…
UPDATES:
Starmer says Trump’s tariffs over Greenland are “completely wrong” :
“There is a principle here that cannot be set aside… any decision about the future status of Greenland belongs to the people of Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark alone. That right is fundamental and we support it.”
[…]
“Alliances endure because they’re built on respect and partnership, not pressure. That is why I said the use of tariffs against allies is completely wrong. It is not the right way to resolve differences within an alliance. Nor is it helpful to frame efforts to strengthen Greenland’s security as a justification for economic pressure.”
Starmer says the UK will not respond with retaliatory tariffs:
“A tariff war is in nobody’s interests. We have not got to that stage, and my focus therefore is that we don’t get to that stage.”
Starmer adds he does not believe Trump will use military force in Greenland. Calling his bluff…
Read Starmer’s speech in full below:
The world has become markedly more turbulent in recent weeks.
Events are moving fast, and in moments like this, what matters most is being clear about the values and the interests that guide us, even as circumstances change.
The United Kingdom has a long history. Our values were not improvised – they were built patiently over time.
And while we are pragmatic in how we pursue our interests, we are resolute in defending those values when it matters.
So let me begin with the United States.
The UK and the US are close allies and close partners. That relationship matters profoundly – not just to our security, but to the prosperity and the stability that people here at home depend on.
Under President Trump, as under previous Presidents, we are determined to keep that relationship strong, constructive, and focused on results.
And that approach is delivering.
Through sustained engagement, we have seen significant US investment into the UK economy, running into the hundreds of billions of pounds, supporting growth, skills and jobs right across the country.
And our cooperation on defence, nuclear capability, and intelligence remains as close and effective as anywhere in the world – keeping Britain safe in an increasingly dangerous environment.
We have secured good trading terms in key sectors, including cars, steel, aerospace and life sciences – protecting British jobs and manufacturers.
That is why we take the approach that we do. Because it delivers concrete outcomes in the national interest.
I talk regularly with President Trump. My team is in daily contact with all the key figures in his administration. These relationships matter, they deliver concrete outcomes in the national interest.
Mature alliances are not about pretending differences don’t exist; they are about addressing them directly, respectfully, and with a focus on results.
On Greenland, the right way to approach an issue of this serious is through calm discussion between allies. Let’s be clear, the security of Greenland matters and it will matter more as climate change reshapes the Arctic.
As sea routes open and strategic competition intensifies, the High North will require greater attention, greater investment, and stronger collective defence.
The United States will be central to that effort, and the UK stands ready to contribute fully alongside our allies through NATO.
But there is a principle here that cannot be set aside because it goes to the heart of how stable and trusted international cooperation works.
And so, any decision about the future status of Greenland belongs to the people of Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark alone. That right is fundamental, and we will support it.
Denmark is a close ally of the United Kingdom and of the United States – a proud NATO member that has stood shoulder to shoulder with us, including at real human cost, in recent decades. Alliances endure because they are built on respect, and partnership, not pressure.
That is why I say the use of tariffs against allies is completely wrong. It is not the right way to resolve differences within an alliance. Nor is it helpful to frame efforts to strengthen Greenland’s security as a justification for economic pressure.
Such measures hurt British workers, British business and the British economy and that’s why I’ve been so clear on this issue.
A trade war is in no one’s interest and my job is to act always in the UK’s national interest. That is why yesterday I spoke to President Trump, to European leaders and to the Secretary General of NATO, to find a solution rooted in partnership, facts and mutual respect.
Because that is how strong alliances protect shared interests.
The same is true on other issues. In the Middle East, we welcome President Trump’s focus on sustaining the ceasefire in Gaza and moving onto Phase 2. We are open to participating constructively in such efforts.
On Ukraine, I will be brief. We strongly support efforts to bring the killing to an end and to secure a ceasefire as soon as possible.
We recognise President Trump’s role in pushing that process forward, and we will work closely with the United States, Ukraine, and our other allies to apply pressure where it belongs: on Putin.
Finally, let me say why all of this matters so directly to people here at home.
In today’s world, geopolitics is not something that happens somewhere else.
It shapes the cost of energy, the price of food, the security of jobs, and the stability that families rely on to plan their lives.
When war drives up fuel prices, it is households who feel it first.
When supply chains fracture, it is small businesses and working people who absorb the shock.
And when instability grows, it is rarely those with the most power who pay the price.
That is why this Government’s approach is rooted in a simple belief: that we must use every tool of government – domestic and international – to fight for the interests of ordinary people.
At home, that means active government.
It means taking responsibility for economic stability so that inflation is controlled, interest rates come down, and family budgets are protected.
It means stepping in where markets fail, strengthening resilience, and ensuring that global shocks do not always land on the same people, in the same places.
The people least able to withstand them. That is why we’ve taken action to reduce energy bills, to freeze rail and prescription charges.
But tackling the cost of living today also means engagement beyond our borders.
It requires shaping the world around us, not retreating from it.
It requires strong alliances, steady diplomacy, and rules that reduce uncertainty rather than amplify it.
That is why our commitment to international law and to alliances founded on trust is not abstract or ideological.
It is practical.
It is about stability, predictability, and fairness – the conditions that keep prices down, jobs secure, and economies resilient.
This is what active government looks like in an age of uncertainty: steady at home, engaged abroad, and always focused on protecting the people that we serve.
Britain is a pragmatic country. We look for agreement. We believe in partnership. We prefer solutions to slogans.
And we will not indulge in commentary and gesture politics that harm the British people.
But being pragmatic does not mean being passive.
And partnership does not mean abandoning principle.
That is why it’s important to be clear about who we stand with, what we stand for, and where our interests lie.
Now this is a moment for the whole country to pull together.
So I warmly welcome the support we have had with regards to Greenland and the proposed tariffs from the Leader of the Opposition. I thank her for her support.
And moments like this, there will always be people who reach for the performative, who think an angry social media post, or grandstanding is a substitute for hard work.
That’s an understandable instinct. But it’s not effective, it never has been.
It may make politicians feel good, but it does nothing for working people whose jobs, livelihoods and security rely on the relationships we build across the world.
So to conclude:
We will work with our allies – in Europe, across NATO, and with the United States.
We will keep dialogue open.
We will defend international law.
And we will use the full strength of government – at home and abroad – to protect the security, living standards, and future of the British people.
That is the approach I will take as Prime Minister.
And that is the responsibility this moment demands.
Thank you.

“Matthew Paris in The Times this morning:
“For Badenoch it’s time, now the nutters have gone, for an olive branch towards men like Kenneth Clarke, Michael Heseltine, David Gauke, Dominic Grieve … all driven away by Johnson. James Cleverly and the sensible shadow chancellor Mel Stride could be her envoys to the wilderness into which moderate conservatives feel we have been cast.””
Matthew Parish is the worst hand wringing liberal you can get. He was head of an eco-zealot charity for a while, ‘GreenPeace’ or similar left leaning eco-nuts. Parish is NOT a Conservative in any form, he is the enemy of industry and Conservatives. Parish claims he is Right wing thinking then spends all his time on Corbyn thinking issues. He also writes for The Spectator for some reason (closet lefty queer liberal) on GREEN party issues. He is a totally false Conservative.!!!!

What happened to UK INDUSTRY?
Something you would never learn from the smug infested BBC, that would never report what SKY has just admitted is happening,
‘High energy prices cause de-industrialisation.’ Who knew? Well, this groundbreaking discovery appears to be the implication of a short documentary film from Sky News’s Ed Conway. “Our film is up,” he told followers on X, “we spent months making this.” And it’s “about how Britain shut down many of the factories we need to feed us and defend us”.
Anyway watch:
“At 18 minutes long, it barely scratches the surface. After visiting a decrepit salt processing works, we hear a short history of Britain’s former chemicals industrial glory fading in the story of chemicals giant ICI being broken up. A visit to yet another site, Wilton, formally operated by ICI, which “used to be one of the, if not the biggest chemicals complex in Europe, if not the world”, bemoans Conway. “Pretty much everything has shut down, we’re visiting one of the last places that hasn’t shut down.” Eight minutes in, and an interview begins with Peter Huntsman, CEO of US firm Huntsman Chemicals, which bought part of the old ICI estate, amid acres and acres of mothballed plant… DuPont… Ineos… Nylon… now mere graveyards. “My biggest cost over the next five years,” says Huntsman at nine minutes 30 seconds into the film, “will not be an increase in oil and gas prices, it will be an increase in climate taxes.”!!!!!
I say: Strange that this revelation has just dawned on (UK) SKY TV. Something the (AUS) SKY knew 10 years ago (SKY TV is totally different to the UK imposed version) before the ‘Westminster media babble’ banned Murdock from buying his own UK Channel TV even though its was based entirely in Luxembourg – due to UK Broadcast ‘licensing’ restrictions — i.e. none as its was all owned by the BBC and The Post Office (GPO). (He also bid for the ailing ‘The Times’ and i think still owns it, but cannot impose his own EDITOR, alas UK Sky TV went due ‘south’ with a new UK media management with its own Left leaning Editors who follow the BBC line in Climate and Racism group-think. So for SKY admitting NOW – that ‘we have a problem’! is almost heresy within SKY editors and would never be mentioned by the BBC, – only as much as its all caused by ‘Climate Change’. Which of course its not, none of it actually is… its total Ministerial incompetence of a liberal elite who still control the media editorial… notably the BBC who think ‘climate change’ is the fault of UK Industry, Colonialism, Racism and being out of Socialist run Europe… they think industrialization – is the future along with vegan based meats and Islamic appeasement and banning ‘hate’ talk.
I read over the weekend: – that this government are the last crop of failures that were in the last ‘Gordon Brown’ government. They have learned nothing (zero) since being ‘out-of-office’ and won’t stop until we really are bankrupt AGAIN by signing us up to net zero policies well into 2040. REFORM has said they would junk them all. I hope they deliver on that and defund the BBC at the same time.
To think that we cannot even make our own SEA SALT is now bordering on the absurd, the once might ICI is no more as our petro-products (which include PLASTICS). Nylons, Polyesters and even the bank-notes we use are made from petro chemicals including Windmills (Synthetic fabrics and Glass-fibre technology which we now all import from China.

With the right wing Tories defecting to Reform it will leave the remaining Tory party just like another libdem party.
I wouldn’t care for a coalition with them if they are full of lefties.
I would guess there are about 15, maybe 20 ‘proper’ Tories who would fit in with Reform but the majority would not (I hope) be allowed to stand as Reform MPs.

Starmer says that Ukraine and Greenland’s borders should be protected from Christians. Starmer plans to protect the Ukraine border using British troops. Starmer also wants to protect a restaurant in Nuuk, Greenland, from boat loads of American Christians. The restaurant owner Wassam Azaqeer, is the only known Muslim living in Greenland. He lives in Nuuk, where he runs a restaurant, saying he wants to remain despite 21-hour fasts in Arctic summers. He believes if he leaves, there would be no one left to fast and pray in Greenland.
Keir Starmer is an atheist who does not believe in God, and refuses to make a religious oath when pledging allegiance to the monarch saying “I am not of faith, I don’t believe in God”. Although Starmer regularly attends a synagogue with his family and likes Islam and Satanism, he does not like Christians, calling them ‘right-wing free speech fascists’.

NZT Power aims to be the world’s first gas-fired power station with carbon capture and storage
Providing flexible, low-carbon power to the UK
Up to ~2 million tonnes of CO₂ a year will be captured from NZT Power and transported and stored by the Northern Endurance Partnership, who are building the CO₂ transportation and storage infrastructure to serve NZT Power and other East Coast Cluster carbon capture projects in the industrial heartlands of Teesside and the Humber.

Carbon capture, usage and storage (CCUS) is a process which captures carbon dioxide emissions from industrial processes and power generation and transports them to secure storage areas. The Committee on Climate Change, the independent advisor to UK Government, has stated that CCUS is a necessity not an option to meet net zero for the UK.
That CCS is simply nuts / crazy & epically pointless.

Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation where someone makes another person doubt their own memory, perception, or sanity, often to gain power and control, making the victim dependent. It involves denying reality, trivializing feelings, shifting blame, and lying, causing the victim to constantly second-guess themselves and lose self-confidence. The term originates from the play and film Gas Light, where a husband subtly manipulates his wife into believing she’s going mad.
Trump considering Asylum for British Jews, to Flee Starmers anti-Semitic, Islamo-Socialist, Democratic People’s Realm. Many British Jews fear that their ‘fear’ of Islam will mean that Keir Starmer will put them in Concentration Camps. All for the crime of ‘fear of Islam’ due to anti-Semitic attacks on Jews, by Starmers Muslim friends, in Labour voting areas and hotels, causing illegal Islamophobia amongst Jews.

I occasionally click on the bBC’s online stuff – usually to see why great Posters here have looked at the reality of any breaking story, and of course, you Gals and Guys have called the lefties out much better than I can.
It’s a dirty job, but someone has to do it…
But isn’t The bBC website a load of tripe these days – all ads for their silly uneventful progs, sycophantic pap about useless slebs, some sort of toothpaste ad-git for a third-form essay on bollocks, and a tiresome reliance on interest in football, (sorry, foobollers, it just ain’t my game)!
I have to admit that the recipes are sometimes useful, as I’ve had to learn to cook stuff over the last couple of years, but that’s about it!
I think my generation has eventually realised that the bBC is just a left-wing gob-piece, squirming to pander to socialism, foreigners, fiddlers etc., at every turn, but when they still charge quite a lot of money just to see their pretty poor output, it all seems a bit Dickensian to me!
