      Iran severing its trade ties explicitly, with its Commerce Minister stating that the nation would “prevent all Danish goods from entering its customs areas.”

      A massive consumer-led boycott of Danish products swept through supermarkets across Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Sudan, resulting in severe losses for European dairy and consumer good exporters.

      The Ministry of Internal Security explicitly declared it “an offence for anyone to publish, produce, import, circulate or possess the caricatures.”

      Local newspapers in Yemen, Algeria, and Jordan that attempted to reprint the drawings for contextual reporting had their licenses suspended, and editors were arrested or put on trial.

    “New York mayor Zohran Mamdani has signed an order to create an office dedicated to helping workers organise – a first of its kind in the US.

    The Office of Worker Power will put workers in touch with union organisers and offer resources on organising their own workplaces. It will also help them report labour violations.

    Mamdani said: “The Mayor’s Office of Worker Power will make sure workers have a seat at the table before exploitation becomes a crisis and violations become routine.

    “We’re connecting workers to their rights, to each other and to the organisations ready to stand with them. Because when workers have power, this city works better for everyone.””

    ….

    “The results of a perverse incentive scheme are also sometimes called cobra effect, where people are incentivized to make a problem worse. This name was coined by economist Horst Siebert in 2001 based on an anecdote taken from the British Raj.[3][4][5] According to the story, the British government, concerned about the number of venomous cobras in Delhi, offered a bounty for every dead cobra. Initially, this was a successful strategy; large numbers of snakes were killed for the reward. Eventually, however, people began to breed cobras for the income. When the government became aware of this, the reward program was scrapped, and the cobra breeders set their snakes free, leading to an overall increase in the wild cobra population”

      An old friend of mine, around my age, has developed ‘Dowager’s Hump’, which is an unpleasant complaint where the spine curls forward at the top and near the neck, and causes him to stoop.

      Causes

      Poor Posture: Habitual slouching, looking down at phones, or hunching over computers puts stress on the upper spine.

      Osteoporosis: Weakened bones in the spine can experience tiny compression fractures, causing the vertebrae to collapse forward.

      Aging: Normal wear, tear, and muscle weakness over the years can degrade upper-body alignment.

      I reckon some kids will just grown extra vertebrae in future generations, especially from being forced to watch the bBC and pay the compulsory subscription…

      Last time we had a work do in Reading, one of my colleagues had too much too drink and was sitting outside the bar McCaffertys, in Friar Street. I went outside to see if she was all right.
      The illegals in The George Hotel in nearby King Street, kept walking up and down, eyeing her up. Even after telling them to f**k off and tell the police, who did nothing, they were still loitering around.

      Reading isn’t safe.

      Plenty of male foreign groups walk through the bars on Fridays and Saturdays, never buying drinks, looking very shifty, there’s plenty of vulnerable university kids that need to be cautious.

      “Lady Hillingdon is famously, though likely apocryphally, credited with originating the phrase “lie back and think of England” in her private 1912 journal.

      The original journal is lost, and historians consider the quote unconfirmed folklore rather than a verified historical fact.

    We’re living through extraordinary times.

    Over the weekend we have witnessed working class patriots doing their level best to defend our borders from alien invasion. We know…everybody knows…that a good number of the illegals being ferried in will be paedos, rapists and terrorists, so by my reckoning our lads were doing God’s work.

    Okay, some of them might look a bit “rough and ready”, but if you’re on a sticky wicket you don’t really want some limp jessies like Chris Bryant and Wes Streeting at your back, do you?…or at any other time come to that…

    However, almost to a man, our media and political elite are portraying our defenders as thugs and fascists, mainly because our lads were masked and clad in black and comparing them to Moseley’s Black-shirts…though these same hypocrites had only praise for black clad and masked Hamas and BLM supporters. Strange, isn’t it?

    And perhaps strangest of all is the conduct of our police force. The people coming in are ILLEGAL. The patriots were trying to stop them…and the police pepper sprayed and baton charged the British men, who were trying to uphold the law.

    I know I’m stating the bleeding obvious, but

    We are in very deep sh1t…

      I dreamt of a Prime Minister who knew that a man had a penis, who looked forward to 650 debating for their constituents and who wanted to smash some gangs like his USA President.

      I awoke to a man saying everyone can have a cervix, Davos is better than Parliament and the only only gangs that got smashed were a bunch of Ukrainian arsonists.

      The entry prohibitions to Southampton and Portsmouth are very interesting and surprising. Very unusual for the RNFI (Royal National Ferryboat Institute) to be refused entry to any Port. I can possibly understand Portsmouth refusing as it’s a Naval Port controlled by the QHM, Queens (Kings?) Harbour Master. Southampton is a commercial port so unsure about that.

    Shabana Mahmood was part of a demonstration outside a branch of Sainsbury’s in Birmingham, protesting that it was ‘stocking goods from illegal settlements’. She also took to social media to back a boycott of Israel, a position that is contrary to Labour Party policy.”

    I fully understand the incomprehensible behaviour of the so-called, “Lefties”. But, I’ve come to realise that same mindset surprisingly exists on the Right as well.

    Take the MAGA supporters for Trump. They seem impervious to the lunacy which now occupies the White House ‘Ballroom’ and all. Here, take a look at the sport that has developed around Trumps ramblings.

    Truthfully, would you really want such a deranged individual’s hand on the Nuclear Button?

      Section 25 of the Immigration Act 1971:

      “it is an offence to knowingly be concerned in making or carrying out arrangements to secure or facilitate the entry or arrival of an illegal entrant into the UK.”

      This includes helping an asylum seeker to arrive or enter illegally (see Section 25A).

      These are known as “facilitation offences” and can result in a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.

    “Singapore’s government says it will raise the annual salaries of its ministers and other office holders, including its prime minister who is the highest paid political leader in the world.

    Lawrence Wong will see an increase of 1.4 million Singapore dollars ($1.1m; £818,000) in his annual pay package. He has said he will donate this pay increase to charity over the next five years.

    Wong said that raising the pay of ministers was necessary to attract better talent. The government has previously argued that paying ministers high salaries deters corruption.”

    ….

    According to a Transparency International survey, an overwhelming majority of people in Singapore view cases of corruption by public officials or institutions as an extremely rare occurrence. In 2025, Singapore’s public sector was ranked by Transparency International as the third least corrupt in the world.

    ….
    One theory of Singapore’s low corruption is that, compared to neighboring nations such as Thailand and Malaysia, the powers of the state were able to pressure private interests into funneling capital into sectors that would ultimately benefit the public in the long term

    Lim Cheng Hoe (2014)
    On 20 February 2014, Lim Cheng Hoe, a former protocol chief at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was sentenced to 15 months’ jail for cheating. From February 2008 to May 2012, Lim had made false claims for S$89,000 worth of pineapple tarts and wine as gifts for foreign diplomats.[41][42]

    Interesting to listen to the government[and BBC] berate Israeli settlers…those ‘illegal occupiers’ as the BBC prefers…I prefer ‘undocumented migrants’…what’s the problem? The government is very upset that they are moving into Palestinian land and pose a threat to the local inhabitants. The Mad Monk is very outraged.

    However…this is the same government that helps ferry dangerous illegal migrants across the Channel and then builds massive facilities for them next to tiny villages and allows hundreds of these foreigners to roam at will around these small villages creating enormous fear and concern…and not without good reason. Life in locations where these occupying camps have been established will totally change…no one will be able to rest easy in their own land as long as these foreigners are allowed to lurk around at will with no control.

    They should all be in detention camps and not allowed out until their claims are assessed.

      The contrast between Gaza and Israel is stark. Israel has a series of wonderful beach resorts and hotels along its Mediterranean coast. Gaza’s coastline is well………..a shithole.
      Everyone laughed at Trump’s idea of having hotels and resorts in Gaza but the beach and sea is there, but Palestinians are more interested in gangsterism, terrorism and exercising anti Israeli grudges than cleaning the place up, and doing something positive.

    ‘Flights have been grounded throughout Britain after an air traffic control technical failure.

    All flights into London Heathrow and Gatwick have been halted until at least 7pm, with airports including London City, Manchester, Stansted, East Midlands, Birmingham, Belfast City, Aberdeen, Glasgow and Southampton also experiencing disruption.’

    Getting way too regular these technical hitches in so many areas of infrastructure….some might suspect enemy action.

      Largely symbolic? Surely ‘totally symbolic’. The purpose of this charade is to placate hard left Labour MPs and stop them losing votes to the Green Party and independent Islamist & ‘Gaza’ MPs in the forthcoming General Election. Of which the by-election in Holborn and St Pancras is the opening shot.

      A lot of people would prefer more attention was given to illegal settlers in this country than to those in the West Bank/Samaria and Judea.

    The BBC reports that tickets for the BBC-adjacent ‘Glasto’ festival will be going on sale for just £408 a pop. Well, the cost of building a perimeter wall all the way around to keep out the riff-raff (think of it as a ‘border’) can’t be cheap. Now c’mon TV licence payers – between 700-1000 BBC staff are reported to attend each year and they’ll need tickets. Wonder if the BBC will insist on the return of Bob Vylan for a bit more anti-British hate and racism?
