    Naturally we are all devastated about the Islamic prayer centre fire. No doubt it was just an accident, like the fire at Notre Dame.

    So the New Labour Leader / King / first woman leader wants to build the biggest number of council houses since the war.

    The history of council housebuilding is defined by three distinct eras:1945–1979 (The Boom): Driven by post-war reconstruction and the 1946 New Towns Act, this era saw councils building an average of 126,000 homes a year. The post-war peak was in 1954, when local authorities completed 198,210 homes. The last time councils achieved high historical figures was in 1978-79, delivering over 90,000 new homes.

    If we say 125,000 a year, at roughly £250,000 each, more if built in the south, will mean spending £31 Billion a year.

    AND who will build them? We will need more just to house the immigrant brickies

    He wants to devolve Government but Burnham seems to have forgotten that the Starmer Government had already put in motion a local government devolution. The idea of that was to agglomerate various Councils into Mayoral Combined Authorities. As an example Cheshire East, Cheshire West and Warrington combined with an election due in May 2027. It’s already happened.

    The really stupid thing is it wasn’t that long ago in 2009 that Cheshire was divided into two separate Councils, Cheshire East and Cheshire West, 2009. Lots of bits of Cheshire bits have been hacked off over the years in a number of government reorganisations. All I see is more waste and empire building.

    Andy’s ‘radical rewiring’ and ‘it’s coming homes’ – exclaims our BBC, quoting the in-the-tank for Labour Daily Mirror: It’s coming homes… Burnham’s housing ambition… PM in waiting promises massive drive in council houses – plus that odd somewhat meaningless quote from our “sparky” the man himself: Burnham… vision for ‘rewired Britain’ (corporate adsheet Metro); Burnham wants to ‘rewire’ Britain (Mail); Burnham… bid to ‘rewire’ Britain (Guardian)

    Pinko Van Man?

    What is he, a politician or an electrician? I guess he’s attempting to tap into the apparent public enthusiasm for nursery school assistant plumber and plasterer Hannah Spencer types?

    The formerly Socialist party may now be the preserve of our public sector managerial classes: workers of the world unite – you nothing to gain but a clipboard and rainbow lanyard! But they still have to pretend to be horny-handed manual types – Sir Keir was the son of a toolmaker, you know. Who must have impregnated an adenoidal android to conceive such a tool.

    No tools – or actual detailed concrete plans – left in the van overnight.

    NHS unions… on yer marks, get set… Strike!

    Burnham sets out 1970s vision for Britain… state intervention and a mass social housing programme (Telegraph)

    And it’s left to the tabloid Sun to hint who might actually benefit from all those new council homes: Migrant Street… 83 asylum seekers moving into £250,000 newbuilds… Twenty-one smart newbuild houses have been earmarked for their families

    There’s a points system, you know – regular in-work healthy local law abiding people, forget it – you’ve no points.

    Speaking at the People’s History Museum in Manchester… (Guardian) – one wonders what people will be history by the end of Burnham’s self-proposed 10-year stint as PM?

    Burnham pledges growth, housing and No 10 North in his vision for ‘rewired’ Britain (left-leaning i paper)

    Cue Manchester punk rocker classics The Fall (a big favourite of your Mr AsI) with their 1982 hit Totally Wired (Mark E – RIP)

    And now we go over to the weather non-forecast…

    Another UK heatwave could be on the way – or not, as the case may be? (Simon King, Lead Weather Presenter, BBC)

    We had packed lunches every day for 10 years and retired at 40… Katie and Alan Donegan were able to retire when he was 40 and she was 35 (Alice Kantor, Business reporter, BBC) – Mr AsI contends that Lockdowns demoralised the British workforce – sounds as though this couple were planning to check out some years prior to the moment the rest of us realised we were on a hiding to nothing working for The Man. One has to admire such log-term pre-planning and restraint. You may or may not be surprised to know Getty Images were not required to supply photo imagery of the couple. No kids, obviously.

    Cheetham Hill, Manchester

    2026/mar “‘Everybody’s making money’: how two backstreets become the vape capital of Britain
    This article is more than 2 months old
    In Cheetham Hill, Manchester, there are more than 50 shops specialising in vapes and vaping paraphernalia. Why did they open here? And how long can they last?”
    https://www.theguardian.com/society/2026/mar/31/the-vape-capital-of-britain-manchester

    Candy-coloured boxes bursting with fruity flavours line the shelves, although body sprays, soft drinks and a plentiful selection of bongs are available too. His customers come “from all around the UK”, he says, although he names only “Leeds, Bradford, Hull”. He shrugs at the fact that, compared with his neighbours, his sales are modest. He is not one of the “big men” here, he grins.

    Further thoughts on Local Government reform. I think a major motive for many of the local government reforms has been a blurring of accountability, diffusion of responsibility.
    LG hasn’t been working effectively, they pay their chief executives handsomely but Councils have morphed from being our servants to being our masters. Very poor financial control is the norm, the Unions have more power than the electorate. This is all the more prevalent in the largely Labour One Party States that inner City Councils have become. They have failed to act on ethnic rape gangs for example.

    I think I heard Burnham talking about reforming Business Rates, making the setting and collection local. I should remind everyone on here that Margaret Thatcher abolished localised Business Rates by introducing the Uniform Business Rate with centranlised setting of Valuations and rate. The reason for this change was due to certain left wing Councils seeing businesses as a soft target for extra taxation via business rates. Liverpool under Derek Hatton increased Business Rates substantially leading to an exodus of businesses and jobs out of the area. Thatcher solved the problem but Burnham seems to want to revert.

    In all cases where local Councils are given tax and charge raising powers, left wing Councils apply them unreasonably and unfairly often justified by Green agenda. More powers to Councils, no thanks.

      Strength in numbers….or rather no numbers…or indeed coherent thought…..diversity is not our strength….

      ‘Revealed: How the Treasury abandoned numeracy to boost diversity’
      ‘For many years now, the Treasury has run its own talent scheme for highflying graduates.
      But then came 2020, the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, and the subsequent mental breakdown of the British state. The Treasury’s response to the death of a man in a completely different country, it appears, was to remove the numerical reasoning test from its graduate scheme.

      ‘The Numerical Reasoning Test (NRT) was removed due to evidence of the test having adverse impact on candidate diversity. Subsequently, the levels of adverse impact decreased in the 2020 campaign.’’

      Not only numbers that were the problem….seems a good grasp of English and the ability to understand sentences was way too much for our diverse applicants and so…

      ‘Already following the 2019 application run, the department had noted that in other years the programme’s verbal reasoning test had higher rates of ‘adverse impact on ethnicity’ than the numerical test. This was backed up by expert advice from the ‘ethnic diversity recruitment specialists Rare’, who noted that ‘their candidates tend to struggle with verbal testing in particular.’ Lo and behold, in 2024 the department removed its verbal reasoning test too, to avoid adversely affecting diversity outcomes. It was replaced by the ‘Civil Service Strengths Test’, a hard-hitting assessment which asks candidates if they agree or disagree with statements like ‘I prefer not to have to concentrate on one thing for too long’ or ‘It is important for me to exceed expectations when I am given a task to do.’ Gruelling stuff.’

      Yep, that’s what we need at the British Treasury….people who can’t add up and who can’t comprehend English language.

      Still could be worse…might be your doctor…surely not?

        http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/1738487.stm
        The army’s new policy of making all recruits undergo the same physical training has resulted in many more injuries among female soldiers, research suggests.

        Until recently, although female army recruits were trained alongside the men, they were not expected to reach the same level of physical fitness.

    The other day the Mail on Line had a really strange piece by Alex Brummer, one of their financial journalists. It was all about Red Ed and what a marvellous Chancellor he would make. Have you noticed the common theme how people like Starmer, Red Ed and Gordon Brown are such charming people in private but it doesn’t come over in public?

    What I have noticed with Burnham is that no MSM journalists ask how he did when he was last a minister. I think we all know the answer. Mid Staffs appears all forgotten (except on sites like these when he is referred to as ‘body bags). We do hear Andy lent Manchester money to a pal to build luxury flats and if you dig deep you might hear his wife got contracts relating to evs. But ask about Mid Staffs hospitals and all goes quiet.

      Legitimate refugees are just that and historically quite likely to return whence they came from *refuge* – and often self fund anyway (it they managed to gather up some funds before fleeing….)

      Immigrants are people moving for reasons other than fear of persecution / threat to life and, if they want to come, let them come but NOT AT A COST TO THE INHABITANTS of their destination country. Immigrants generally want to improve their situation – better jobs / opportunity etcetera – we ABSOLUTELY shouldn’t be funding them.

    Meta has paused a new company-wide program of tracking its employees’ computer usage which has been plagued by internal frustration.

    The program was started only two months ago as part of an effort by Meta to gather data on how people used computers, including mouse clicks and keystrokes, that could be used to train artificial intelligence (AI) models.

    It was met immediately with upset from employees who were to have their every online action at work tracked and recorded, but also concerned about where the data was going and how it would be protected.

    Meta halted the program on Monday after realising some of the collected data had been left potentially accessible to anyone inside the company.”

    This is the bald truth that the Left and public sector fail to understand.

    The Government only spends money, it doesn’t make a penny of money itself. The only money Government has to spend is that generated by business.

    Socialists will say it’s the workers that make the money. They don’t, it’s the business that employs them that does.

    Socialists will say workers pay taxes, they don’t, the money they pay comes from the business that employs them. There is a persistent fiction that operates around taxation relating to employment. An employer pays NI for an employee, the employee pays NI as well as PAYE income Tax but in reality it’s the employer who pays all of those taxes out of profits created from enterprise.

    11:21
    Starmer is asked about the delays to the defence investment plan and how important Andy Burnham will be to its future – and if Burnham, likely to be the next PM, has given assurances on funding.

    Starmer says “a test of any prime minister is if they leave the country in a better state than they’ve found it”.

    He says that is “undoubtedly the case” on the economy, public services and defence.”

    A woman was banned from working as an NHS nurse after her poor understanding of the English language was deemed to be a risk to patients.
    The NMC panel found she did not notice when a patient was having a seizure while she was cleaning them in February 2022 and failed to pull an alarm bell.
    She also drew up the incorrect dosage of insulin to be administered to a person under her care, according to the report, external.”

    “Andrew Bruce joined the company in 2015. His job was to buy all the land and property for phase one of the project.

    He says that in his first week he was given two sets of figures.

    According to Mr Bruce, one set was to be used to show the government in presentations. He says these showed HS2 was on track to purchase the land on time and on budget.

    He says he was also given a second set of figures which showed there was no way HS2 could buy all the land and properties needed while keeping to that budget. And he says his own work subsequently found even higher estimates for land and property costs.”

    This new idea of how to get more immigrants in but dressing it up as something good by ‘sponsoring’ them is another disaster.

    Instead of having to pay the boat people thousands to get them into GB they can get a family to ‘sponsor’ them.

    In Rochdale, Birmingham or many other places there will be thousands of families saying they will ‘sponsor’ somebody (a cousin or some family member, a friend or any number of others) and they can fly in, just like that.
    Once in it will be almost impossible to get rid.

    There’s also the possibility of families here being forced to ‘sponsor’ somebody such as a terrorist type or soldier for future operations.

    It will not lower the incoming, it will offer a new route in with all the usual routes operating normally. It will increase the number coming in.

    Will the ‘sponsor’ have to pay for medical treatments,I bet they don’t.
    Schooling costs and lots of other living costs? Nope.

    Will they end up qualifying for payments from the government? I bet they will.

    Will they be paying their way or be a cost to have here. We all know the answer to that.
    And that’s assuming they are behaving themselves as perfect citizens. Will they turn to crime with the costs and heartaches it brings.

    It’s a barmy idea trying to fool people that some Pakistani English family here will pay everything and the ‘sponsored’ person will make no difference at all.

    “Government ‘cannot deport’ grooming gang ringleader”
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx2wl6ynn2no
    The Home Office said Ahmed’s crimes were “appalling” and that he would be subject to stringent licence conditions upon his release from prison.

    Ahmed must initially live in supervised accommodation 24/7 and will be subject to an “exclusion zone” centred on Rochdale.

    The papers published online said Ahmed cannot be deported back to Pakistan due to provisions under the Immigration Act 1971.

    The act says because Ahmed arrived in the UK before 1973 and lived in the country for at least five years before his deportation was considered, his removal is barred.”

    “Rupert Lowe MP
    The BBC has issued an official explanation on why it has failed to cover our rape gang inquiry.

    ‘Complex choices’ are made for editorial and practical reasons.

    These choices ‘should not be taken as indicative of bias.’

    Their words.

    But the BBC were very quick to cover malicious complaints against our inquiry, in an attempt to smear our efforts? They were then forced to later apologise about how they covered the story.

    So either the inquiry is worth reporting on, or it’s not.

    They can’t pick and choose.

    We’re told ‘complex choices’ are made, meaning that efforts to uncover the industrial rape of young girls is not near the top of list.

    Let’s take a look at a few stories on the main BBC news page, right now…

    ‘Osaka pays ‘love and respect to Japan’ in Wimbledon kimono’

    ‘Why £15 durians are being sold at half price – or given away for free’

    ‘We had packed lunches every day for 10 years and retired at 40’

    Are these stories more important than the rape gang inquiry?

    I think not.

    You cannot hate the BBC enough.

    I expect no fair coverage from them, I’ve stopped expecting it.

    But the BBC is funded by the British people.

    Their continued suppression of our inquiry is a disgrace.”

      Key Recent StatisticsOfcom News Consumption reports (2024-2025): BBC News (across TV, radio, online, iPlayer, Sounds, etc.) reaches 67-68% of UK adults. It remains the single most-used news provider.

      ofcom.org.uk

      BBC’s own reporting (2024/25): 74% of UK adults use BBC News on average per week, well ahead of competitors.

      bbc.co.uk

      Earlier Ofcom data (around 2024) also cited 68% across platforms or up to 75% in some actual usage analyses.

      bbc.com

      For context, UK adult population (16+) is roughly 55-58 million out of a total ~69-70 million people.

      And … many visitors here well know that that position of trust has been thrown away for ideological reasons – the goons running it are intent on propagandising their audience regardless of reality.

        ‘News’ it is not.
