Not excusing the Notting Hill Crime Festival in any way but have you seen the images of the acres of crap left after the Reading Festival? Are all festival goers congenitally lazy, thick and entitled? Add £20 to each ticket to cover clean-up costs. All is sweetness and light in the BBC coverage of course 🤬
https://x.com/antspeaks/status/2094532674480123998?s=61
It’s also worth pointing out that the 560 arrests set a new record for Notting Hill Carnival, surpassing every previous year.
Hardly the picture of an event becoming safer.
Politicians + PoPo Supers + Client media = sick joke
“During the August 2026 Notting Hill Carnival, the Metropolitan Police recovered 62 weapons during the two-day event, including a handgun. This was accompanied by a massive pre-event crackdown designed to disrupt violent crime, resulting in the pre-emptive seizure of 107 knives (including 76 zombie knives, 30 flick knives, and a machete)”
Notting Hill Carnival criticism unfair, says boss https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c9dwl4qz9ypo
Notting Hill Carnival is Europe’s largest street festival
Carnival organisers have doubled stewarding levels for this year’s event
HA HA HA HA! Who is employed as a steward? HA HA AH AHHA
Man dies near Notting Hill Carnival after entering canal (Ella Kipling, BBC) – ah, Kipling… one wonders what sort of ‘man’ to whom she refers…? “You’re a better man than I am, Gunga Din!”
Let’s hope this sad demise near Notting Hill Carnival doesn’t prove a point and has nothing to do with: The mystery of why so many black Britons still can’t swim (Florence Freeman, BBC News) – oh the irony. I guess this could turn out to be a case one of those close juxtapositions of headlines that add truth to a mainstream media narrative.
Naturally, the Met police are now busy ‘sympathising’: Cdr Claire Smart said: “This is a tragic incident and our thoughts are with the loved ones of the man who has lost his life.” (BBC) – well, it’s the smart thing to do these days if you want to get on as a top cop.
Smart, gold commander for the Notting Hill Festival, said: “Any death following contact with the police is passed to the Independent Office for Police Conduct so the circumstances can be fully investigated.” (BBC) – I don’t know about gold… appointment as top cop for the carnival is a bit of a poison chalice, I’d have thought.
“I would encourage everyone to avoid speculation while this work takes place.” (BBC) – and there’s that other top policing catchphrase du jour.
There was a time… not so long ago – as we used to hear in the opening lines at the start of classic kid’s tv show Bagpuss… “Once upon a time, not so long ago, there was a little girl and her name was Emily. And she had a shop.” – but I digress from the sad story the BBC via the cop’s press release were telling us.
There was a time, not so long ago, when the cops said “Evenin’ all” and “What’s going on ‘ere then?”
Now it’s all: “Our thoughts and sympathises are with all those concerned” and the thinly veiled threat: “Don’t you dare speculate”
So we won’t. But we know, that they know, that we all do anyway.
Freebie giveaway ad-sheet, friend of the big supermarkets (think of the footfall) Metro appears pre-primed to celebrate: Notting thrills as crowds flock to carnival… More sequins than Strictly! – more sequins and more arrests…
There have been two separate high-profile arrests involving individuals linked to Strictly Come Dancing in recent years, though neither resulted in criminal charges – thank you A.I.
There were two assaults with knives – one stabbing and one slashing. Neither resulted in life-threatening injuries. On Monday evening, police said there had been 315 arrests that day, bringing the total number of arrests to 560. The Met Police said the two days of the festival had passed “largely without incident”. (BBC)
No, don’t laugh. It’s no joking matter. Not with 560 new arrests and our prisons already so full: Burnham to put prisoners in laundries… converted into cells (Telegraph) – well, I’ve heard of whitewashing the statistics.
On a far, far, lighter note…
Storm named after Shaun the Sheep… the Met Office… said it had been working alongside animation studio Aardman, and invited the public to submit ideas for storm names… (Telegraph) – Stormy MacStormface, anyone?
Stormy Daniels, surely?
Nope, seems our Met Office climate alarmists are targeting the kids: This year’s storms will be named after naughty pets, misbehaving children and Shaun the Sheep… Storm Ivy will commemorate a chaotic nine-month-old labrador puppy, while Storm Chloe is named after a five-year-old who can “create a storm by herself” when she is tired, according to her mother (Telegraph)

I’m wondering if Labour are trying to distance Britain from America and therefore help to justify re-entry to the EU.

The Clean-Up ScaleTotal Waste: The event generates about 330 tonnes of debris, which equals the weight of roughly 25 double-decker buses.Recycling: Workers recycle about 30 percent of the collected material.Common Items: Crews mostly pick up plastic bottles, food containers, cans, and costume pieces. They also collect large amounts of discarded laughing gas (nitrous oxide) canisters
Meanwhile – 10 year gilt yield hits 5.21 % – the highest since 2008 …. Wow … looks like any taxes burnham raises will be wiped out by borrowing costs – he will have to cut welfare… surely …

Am I right in recalling that the Tories made a big thing about giving prisoners their own cells, because some cells had three criminals housed in each one?
Perhaps there could be a reversal of all that, and shove in some more bunks – sorry about the overcrowding but there it is…

As the year winds down form the ‘hottest year ever’ claims by the Met office and its global media outlet’ BBC’, it will soon all be forgotten with other crisis predictions. The BBC is among the most vocal (state funded) and ‘urgent’ claims of a “Super” El Nino – will soon be upon us — and we are all DOOMED (again). Here is an example of the endless BBC claims ‘authenticated’ by its own BBC VERIFY service in the same manners that the London Notting Hill Carnival was a great Success, despite over x600 arrests, deaths and knife fights and armed robbery.

But the tide has turned. it no longer valid. its been proved false and even the avid listeners are realsing that there are other more urgent matters and the Politics has changed. As this video clearly explains. the priorities have changed, and the BBC is increasingly on its own, claiming the end of the world… when the world has moved on…

Official forecasters had expected a surplus of £500m, meaning the government borrowed £2.3bn more than predicted.
Despite falling from June to July, the borrowing figure was higher than expected. Experts pointed to increased welfare spending, including benefits and other payments such the state pension, with social payments coming in £2bn higher than the same period last year.

Oh, no Keir come back , how could we cope without you? ( very well actually). Strange a number of know- alls hit the airwaves to utter such crap as, Keir’s got better things to do….hmmm.

“Unfortunately, incompetent people tend to attract other incompetent people, in a vicious circle. Incompetent people do not want to be outshone by people who actually can do their job and prefer to use competent people to claim their achievement for themselves. Sometimes they will hire others who are not a threat to them and fire competent people. This may lead to an organisational culture that thrives on self confidence (often crossing the line to pure arrogance) but lacks actual competence. In some cases, the situation could be so bad that the only reasonable thing to do is to leave the organisation and look for a new job.”

‘Romesh Ranganathan reveals his young sons have faced ‘horrible and abhorrent’ racist abuse at school’ ‘Romesh, 48, admitted his boys have faced the same ‘abhorrent’ racism he experienced himself in the town, but says ‘it was worse back then’.
‘The boys have had racist abuse. Not loads, not as much as I did, but they have had comments,’ Romesh told his Wolf and Owl podcast co-host Tom Davis.
‘We had a bit of an incident. One of the kids was chatting to a girl, just some friend at school, and one of the other kids said, “I don’t know why you’re bothering to chat to her. You’re going to end up marrying your cousin”.’
Gotta say…that’s pretty funny culturally based satire no? Not really classic racism is it?
Ranganathan isn’t above a bit of prejudiced finger pointing himself…
‘The comedian explained he places blame with the kids’ parents, pointing out that ‘at a certain point you’ve got to go “they’re obviously hearing that at home”. So whenever I see that or I hear that a kid’s done it, the next time I see their parents I’m thinking “you’re racist”, right? And that’s a horrible thing.”
Blaming the parents? Really? How does he know? I imagine the language and jokes came from a broad range of sources and the parents likely totally innocent….but Ranganathan is quite happy denouncing the parents based purely on his own prejudices.
Another one of those ethnics who have been given huge success by this country and the people in it and yet all they can do is harp on about how awful it is to be black in this country ala Lenny Henry [who took a role in Amazon’s Rings of Power without realising it was a very racist part…the Irish and Blacks being portrayed as primitive hedgemonkeys in it].
What’s that phrase? Oh yeah…Black fatigue…everyone’s pretty f**king bored with the whining which in fact just makes people more racist than they might ever have been as they get sick of Blacks droning on about how terrible life is from their multi-million pound mansions….

“UK borrows more than expected in July as Healey prepares for first Budget”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cly8kzkyvwgo
Official forecasters had expected a surplus of £500m, meaning the government borrowed £2.3bn more than predicted.
Despite falling from June to July, the borrowing figure was higher than expected. Experts pointed to increased welfare spending, including benefits and other payments such the state pension, with social payments coming in £2bn higher than the same period last year.

social payments coming in £2bn higher
The ONS also said Britain’s overall debt pile is approaching £3tn, having grown by £127.2bn a year earlier. The Conservatives said Labour’s spending would leave “ordinary families” left to cover the bill.

As Andrew Neil points out…
‘We’re growing faster than the three biggest economies in the EU. Productivity is picking up. Exports are strong. We have smaller fiscal headroom because Labour has added over £300bn to borrowing 2024-29.

What a laugh, you would need a heart of stone not to laugh out loud on hearing “Gang smasher” Keir Starmer has decided to pack up and go. His statement about the long list of acheivements he has given us all nearly broke my jaw ,as it dropped so far it hit the floor, it stayed there as the BBC had yes, of course, Alistair Campbell ( on BBC speed dial) to confirm Keirs brilliance.
Oh, no Keir come back , how could we cope without you? ( very well actually). Strange a number of know- alls hit the airwaves to utter such crap as, Keir’s got better things to do….hmmm.
Rather at odds with his honour, privelage stuff , representing Holborn etc, best constituency on the planet,blah,blah.not to mention his pack of lies about going nowhere, yet, thinking about it Keir was always going nowhere ,the problem arose when he took us all with him.
Perhaps he will go to Davos….
And on the subject of Europe….Unelected Ursulla was making speeches recently , demonstrating her grasp of basic economics.
The Empress of Euroland thinks money,savings in bank accounts is a problem.
Much like Rachel Reeves, she doesn’t seem to realise it isn’t left in a big pile in a vault. The money savers put in the Bank is lent to others and they are charged interest….it’s how banking works, how banks make money. Just as well she was appointed ,who would actually vote for her?

“Unfortunately, incompetent people tend to attract other incompetent people, in a vicious circle. Incompetent people do not want to be outshone by people who actually can do their job and prefer to use competent people to claim their achievement for themselves. Sometimes they will hire others who are not a threat to them and fire competent people. This may lead to an organisational culture that thrives on self confidence (often crossing the line to pure arrogance) but lacks actual competence. In some cases, the situation could be so bad that the only reasonable thing to do is to leave the organisation and look for a new job.”

The 1976 IMF Crisis
The Cause: Plunging value of the pound, high inflation, and massive budget deficits forced the Labour government under Prime Minister Jim Callaghan and Chancellor Denis Healey to seek outside help.
The Loan: The International Monetary Fund (IMF) agreed to a $3.9 billion financing package (equivalent to about £2.9 billion at the time).
The Conditions: In exchange for the rescue funds, the British government had to enforce strict public spending cuts and control union wage demands.

‘Romesh Ranganathan reveals his young sons have faced ‘horrible and abhorrent’ racist abuse at school’
‘Romesh, 48, admitted his boys have faced the same ‘abhorrent’ racism he experienced himself in the town, but says ‘it was worse back then’.
‘The boys have had racist abuse. Not loads, not as much as I did, but they have had comments,’ Romesh told his Wolf and Owl podcast co-host Tom Davis.
‘We had a bit of an incident. One of the kids was chatting to a girl, just some friend at school, and one of the other kids said, “I don’t know why you’re bothering to chat to her. You’re going to end up marrying your cousin”.’
Gotta say…that’s pretty funny culturally based satire no? Not really classic racism is it?
Ranganathan isn’t above a bit of prejudiced finger pointing himself…
‘The comedian explained he places blame with the kids’ parents, pointing out that ‘at a certain point you’ve got to go “they’re obviously hearing that at home”. So whenever I see that or I hear that a kid’s done it, the next time I see their parents I’m thinking “you’re racist”, right? And that’s a horrible thing.”
Blaming the parents? Really? How does he know? I imagine the language and jokes came from a broad range of sources and the parents likely totally innocent….but Ranganathan is quite happy denouncing the parents based purely on his own prejudices.
Another one of those ethnics who have been given huge success by this country and the people in it and yet all they can do is harp on about how awful it is to be black in this country ala Lenny Henry [who took a role in Amazon’s Rings of Power without realising it was a very racist part…the Irish and Blacks being portrayed as primitive hedgemonkeys in it].
What’s that phrase? Oh yeah…Black fatigue…everyone’s pretty f**king bored with the whining which in fact just makes people more racist than they might ever have been as they get sick of Blacks droning on about how terrible life is from their multi-million pound mansions….
