    Presumably – with gas prices going through the roof there will be panic in number 10 mohammed street as they try to keep prices down … no windfall from the north sea – just the tax on increased hydrocarbon cost

      I reckon … the twerps in this administration don’t have a collective clue what they’re actually doing – their string pullers might – but the menagerie of fractionally witted twerps out front are an embarrassment – it’s an insult to the population to have such buffoons in high office.

      Thank you Rishi Sunak et al

      I would like to believe this …. I still get the feeling of money men with words that get people excited, because words are cheap and easy.

      “Ensure these historic places cannot be converted to places of any other faith.” – Zia

      p.s. by the time Reform get into power Islam will have a strangle hold on a lot of Churches. Will they be converted back? Will the new Lake District Mosque (sheep are nervous) continue? Do we need to build houses around the Lake District Mosque so Muslims can get to pray quicker?

    Zoe Lyons on QT – “comedian” apparently – a quick look at her biog tells you more than you’d perhaps want to know – but also why she’s a QT shoo-in…

    BBC box ticked up the ying-yang.

    Glad I don’t have a TV (it wouldn’t last long)

      Comment “Clearly, comedy is subjective. Having watched twenty plus videos and more podcasts featuring Zoe Lyons, I just don’t find her in any way funny.”

    Remember :

    In 2024, the government provided £6 million in match funding for Red Nose Day international work.

    Similar match funding occurred in previous years (e.g., £6m in 2023, £10m pledges in earlier campaigns like 2011–2015).

    According to Charity Commission report last week 26% of UK “charity” funding comes from government – and they wouldn’t favour ideologically correct recipients – would they?

      Lenny Henry calls for reparations for black British people
      https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5yqn2x490zo
      Writing in a new book titled The Big Payback, the comedian supports the case for the UK government to give £18 trillion in compensatory payments.

      How is it that slave-owners were paid compensation from our taxes, yet the enslaved and their families were not?

      Beginning with these simple but startling questions, Lenny Henry and Marcus Ryder explore the burning issue of how best can we resolve the inequality resulting from 400 years of the enslavement of African people and the ongoing racism still suffered by millions across the world.

      p.s. Islam and African slave traders are exempt from payments

    Moggie
    I have a sort of ‘inverse ‘policy – any ‘charity company ‘ asking for money never gets it from me – and when I fly BA and they ask for money at the end of the flight – my teeth grind …..

    Emotional blackmail sucks
