    This school meals menu change reminded me of when I was at school.
    Every Thursday we paid 5 shillings, the weeks dinner money.
    In my last year or two I used to keep the 5 Bob and go to the sweet shop where I would spend the lot on sweets. The rest of the week I went without anything for dinner.

    If the unions take money from workers to give to a political party then it’s only fair that the worker should have a choice as to which Party gets his personal contribution.

    A simple tick box, filled in by every worker, with the Party names plus a no contribution option tick box, is an absolutely fair procedure and would be very simple to do.

    Reform could introduce this system in the first 100 days of a Reform government (not retroactively of course, that’s what dictators do)

      Staff falsified records, slept and were on their phones on the night one patient was killed by another on an NHS mental health unit in east London, an inquest has heard.

      During this period, the two nurses, Rosemary Chukwuji-Ohanachum and Raji Olagunju, were in the staff room with the door shut. Despite three patients having been seen walking around the corridor, no staff are seen. Nursing assistant Anthony Onuh was asleep for two hours in the therapy room.

    So let me get this right – the regimes in wales – Scotland – Northern Ireland – all want ‘independence ‘ so that they can join the reichEU … and give up their independence ….

    I remember that the likes of wales and Northern Ireland have a disproportionate number of ‘civil servants ‘ for the whole of the UK …. And if Northern Ireland – in particular – goes it alone there will be a lot on unemployed ‘civil servants ‘ – careful what you wish for ….
    At least England would be free of the Barnett Formula ….

      The people of Northern Ireland will decide our countrys’ future not Sinn Fein and polls taken for years now have consistently shown that only about a third of the NI population at most would vote for a united Ireland.

    BBC…..

    ‘This is what women in sport look like – female athletes hit back’

    What??!! BBC giving a positive editorial to women who oppose men in women’s sport? Wellll…no. Of course not.

    It’s that devil woman white supremacist Sydney Sweeney doing an ad for a betting app that only does ‘sports’ thus the tag line and the fact Sweeney is naked but for sports equipment….at no time does she claim to be a sportswoman….it’s an ad for a betting app that’s all.

    Cue complete outrage….oddly none at all about Nike’s depiction of ‘women’ in sport…

    The BBC has produced a long tract attacking Sweeney with no comments defending Sweeney unlike when the BBC reported on Sharon Davies and Martina Navratilova questioning men in women’s sports…then a good portion of the article was taken up by critics of Davies and Navratilova and putting the trans case….

    ‘One campaign group said Navratilova’s comments were “transphobic”.

    On Saturday, McKinnon said Davies was a “transphobe” and was “sharing hate speech”.

    “There is no debate to be had over whether trans women athletes have an unfair advantage: it’s clear that they don’t,” she said on Twitter, external.’

    I’m sure Sydney Sweeney will cry all the way to the bank and the next advert.

    No irony that the BBC puts runner Amy Hunt in the article as one athlete moaning about sexualisation of sport…hmmmm…from just 4 weeks ago…

    ”Glam helps mentality’ says sprinter Amy Hunt, but can it give you that winning edge?’
    ‘They say practice makes perfect, but for some athletes that means more than just training to be as fast as possible.

    For many, it’s also about what you wear or how you accessorise with things like jewellery.

    So can getting glammed up help your performance?

    British sprinter Amy Hunt certainly thinks so, and it seems to be working as she’s now secured two gold medals at the European Athletics Championships.

    The 24-year-old, who’s gunning for a historic quadruple win at the event this week, told BBC Newsbeat “the glam definitely helps that mentality because sprinting is such a confidence game”.

    “Everyone knows I love a bit of glam and I love my nails.”‘

    Not as if sportswomen don’t go for the sexy angle themselves…apparently this is banned…

    Timothy Miller appeared at Portsmouth Magistrates’ Court today (14 September 2026) and was remanded in custody until 14 October.

    Available reports do not name whether the bench was a District Judge (Magistrates’ Courts) sitting alone or a panel of lay magistrates. First appearances and remand decisions for summary offences of this type are commonly heard by lay magistrates, though a professional district judge can sit instead. No published court list or news account has identified the presiding judicial officer in this specific hearing.

    As Carney tries to join Canada to the sinking ship of the EU the Guardian now admits what should have happened post-Brexit….a sensible relationship based on mutual interests rather than the hostile and anti-British stance that the EU took to punish us and discourage others from leaving….egged on of course by the Remainiacs here including of course the BBC which seemed never to see a problem with the EU’s toxic approach….it was always our fault that there were any problems.

    ‘The worst conclusion to draw from Iceland’s EU referendum result last month would be that the country, apparently now on Donald Trump’s imperial map along with Canada and Greenland, wanted to distance itself from Europe. Rather, the decision to refuse the reopening of EU accession talks shows that asking voters to choose between membership of the 27-nation bloc and staying outside the club is too binary. Some countries want to be inside the European tent without necessarily becoming members. The EU needs a new status for them.
    It is not about setting up a stepping stone to accession, nor is it primarily about access to the single market. Instead, it is about letting like-minded countries combine with the EU when geopolitical and geo-economic necessities demand it, without them having to sign up to a predetermined constitutional outcome….we need ambitious mechanisms for bringing like-minded democracies together. But full EU membership cannot be the only route to deep integration. ‘

    I would imagine a lot of Brexiteers would go with something along those lines….freer trade and travel but no single market and customs union with the compulsory ‘membership’ rules of obedience to the EU, and no political or judicial oversight and dominance by the EU.

    What women really look like….

    Who watched this? Apparently a big hit…but they’re not your friendly old drag queen from the pantomime, not Barry Humphreys in a frock or even Lilly Savage…they’re much more aggressive, sexualised, offensive and not at all humorous….way way too much like blokes in a dress with no charm.

    The BBC trying to ‘normalise’ drag queens misses the point…that they are freaky, fringe characters meant to shock and amuse…they’re not meant to be real…but the BBC pushes and pushes the idea that they should be real and in your street, library and school….

      As ever, there is the propaganda and there is the reality of the agenda (I nearly wrote ”reality of the gender’ there, which would have been more accurate). For years we were told that there was nothing untoward about these transvestites, that they were simply part of the great British tradition of pantomime dames and absolutely nothing to do with proselytising an extreme form of non-traditional sexual behaviour. But of course, now that the wheel turns in accordance with the zeitgeist, the bleating is that it is an attack not on comedy but the LGBTQWERTY lifestyle.

      In their recent report the BBC – gloriously self-unaware as always – used a caption of ‘Drag Race co-creator warns of TV representation ‘crisis’ after BBC drops show’. In it we learn that ‘Speaking exclusively to BBC News’ (of course) that the producer of this programme ‘feared “vulnerable communities are going to be even more vulnerable”.’ Vulnerable communities? We are talking about one of the most pampered, promoted and glorified groups in recent human history, which enjoys vast support and promotion from governments, big business and the media.

    For some reason I’m thinking Jacob Rees-Mogg versus Angela Rayner’s respective bookshelves. But I digress.

    The mildly conservative Telegraph appears to speak preferentially to an older generation: Love for reading may cut dementia risk

    And the junior poundshop cadet edition lower reading age Gruan that is the i paper has a moment of jovial self-deprecation: Reading The i paper (or books) is good for your health

    OK then, let’s play the game.

    ‘I thought, this is the end’ I was held captive by pirates for eight months (Guardian) – I’m guessing Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson…?

    The pirates arrived with AK-47s. They took us hostage – then the torture began – doesn’t sound quite like our Long John Silver and his jolly crew of west country-accented pirates “Oh ah, Jim lad!”

    Chirag Bahri was working on board a tanker… It had been a good job for a young man from landlocked Uttar Pradesh in India… when six men seized it. For almost eight months, he and his colleagues were held captive, an experience that would change his life for ever… held hostage by a gang of Somali pirates… About two days later, they reached the coast off Garacad in northern Somalia. The six pirates left but 40 others came aboard, including a man that spoke better English, who began negotiations with the shipping company for a ransom. The pirates were all ages, young boys to older men. They had one thing in common. “They were totally insane. Brutal always. Always abusing us and each other. They would fight over a piece of mutton.” At first, the crew ate from the supplies they had on board. When those ran out, the pirates brought rice and dal, and they slaughtered goats on the deck. Bahri paid close attention and began to understand the pirates’ behaviour; the evenings, after they had had their khat, was the most dangerous time. “The mood changes. The eyes get red.” (Rose George, Guardian)

    A turn up for the books as so-called ‘centrist’ turns fascist….

    ‘Rory Stewart: send small boat migrants back to France’
    ‘Speaking to Michael Gove on The Spectator’s Quite Right podcast, Stewart said that Johnson went ‘entirely mad’ on legal migration as prime minister. The centrist took aim at Johnson for letting close to a million people into the country in a single year through legal routes. ‘I don’t understand what was happening there. Why he, and I think it was Priti Patel as Home Secretary then, seemed to be a supporter of this kind of project,’ Stewart added.

    ‘This is a country which was taking, back in the 80s, 30-40,000 people a year and that found itself with David Cameron coming in… saying he was going to try to keep the number [of net migration] below 100,000, suddenly with a prime minister who’s deciding they’re going to let in close to a million. It’s mad.’

    ‘There is no argument that France is not a safe country,’ Stewart added, ‘and the basis of the entire refugee convention is the idea that you’re providing asylum to people who are in danger. People in northern France are not in danger and there is absolutely no reason for us to accept them.’’

    Though Rory Stewart is one of the BBC’s favourite go-to wetter than wet Tories I imagine they won’t be putting forward his latest ‘controversial’ views on immigration.

    Starmer was quick to use language that vilified anti-migrant protestors as far-right, racists and thugs…the BBC had no objection and indeed this kind of language is one they use themselves despite voicing loud objections at language used by anyone on the right however tame it is….the BBC deciding such language is ‘dangerous’ and a threat to democracy.

    So Starmer and Co got a bye on their characterisation of people with views they didn’t share as basically Neo-Nazi racists…and it seems Angela Rayner also gets a bye…as she did when declaring all Tories were scum and Boris was a racist, homophobic misogynist. [Boris who let in a million migrants and fathered countless children with numerous women….though can’t speak about ‘homophobic’…no evidence on that either way]

    Rayner now let’s rip again despite saying

    ‘ in a Facebook post, Ms Rayner said she had since reflected on “our political debate” and the “abuse that now seems to feature all too often”.

    She added that in the future she would be “more careful” about her language. ‘

    I guess she just can’t help it…Reform donors and probably voters are fascists….but then this is the standard Labour take on Reform…why does the BBC not ‘hold them to account’?….

    ‘Angela Rayner has used a big speech to the TUC to brand Reform’s biggest donors ‘a couple of off-shore billionaires trying to buy our democracy’. Labour, she went on, would defend that democracy against any ‘fascist oligarch’ who ‘seeks to divide our country and buy our politics.’’

    This of course the Angela Rayner who crawled before a room full of Muslim men and begged for their votes…Labour would do anything to appease them she reassured.

      …..but potholes are just speed bumps upside down.
      And speed bumps are there to reduce speed and improve safety. And ‘safety is our number one priority’

      Did I once hear that Halfords and Kwikfit were thinking of sponsoring potholes or was that just a rumour?

      In other news, driving along a narrow road in the dark last night, the council for years and years have failed to repaint white lines on the road, nor clean the verges, making it impossible to easily pick out the traffic lane. Really quite dangerous when being dazzled by oncoming traffic headlights.
      However they have plenty of yellow paint to repaint box junctions so they can issue penalty fines should you have to stop in one.

      So maybe safety is the number two priority, behind revenue raising.

    Budget prediction

    1 additional level on council tax bands – maybe 2 levels

    2 changes to private pension tax free allowance – they were going to do it last time

    3 increase in capital tax rate

    4 no additional defence expenditure beyond book fiddling

    Whatever they do – it won’t be enough …. By then the gilt rate may well be 5.5% or above which will absorb all that tax money into interest repayments

    I wonder if there will be A run on the pound in November to push up rates even further …..?

    RNLI lifeboat volunteer retires after 54 years
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvgy8n7x50lo

    The entire article is aimed at lecturing the Right about what brave and good people the RNLI volunteers are. The point they have missed (or are deliberately missing) is that nobody denies that. What we don’t like is the management decision to send these boats out to ‘rescue’ illegal immigrants and bring them to our country where they will stay forever and be a burden on the white taxpayer whilst dragging the local areas we put them in down to the level of the shithole they came from.

    By ‘rescue’ of course they mean taking all the passengers off a boat which has travelled for 10 hours and 170 miles without incident – and ‘refused rescue’ from the French along the way who were only too happy to leave them in their ‘dangerous’ boat.

    It’s so utterly farcical, I still have trouble believing it.

      JohnC, you are 100% spot on with that post. Anyone with a reasonable intelligence level would agree with everything you say. Lefties do not have a reasonable intelligence level and an ability to open their eyes to reality.

      Last week the RNLI’s chief executive responded to criticism of the RNLI by claiming that only 1.2% of its ‘lifeboat launches last year were for people “in distress in the Channel” . What he didn’t say was that around 28% of those ‘people in distress’ who were rescued were illegal immigrants trying to break into the country, and the figure for 2024 was even higher at around 50%. But then, that would put a somewhat different perspective on the matter.

    Give Councils more power says Andy Burnham….”Schools, care homes and sports clubs sold off to pay spiralling council debt”
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cq87497v8ypo
    26 August 2025
    Communities across the UK are paying for spiralling levels of council borrowing with a fire sale of publicly owned facilities, a BBC study has found.

    Schools, care homes, a boxing gym and even an Olympic legacy equestrian centre are among hundreds of buildings being sold as struggling councils seek to reduce a debt pile totalling £122bn.

    debt pile totalling £122bn.

    I guess debts will be written off like the 13 billion NHS debt?

    Small boats are down because the criminals are using bigger boats!

    I am of the opinion that a lot of MPs will lose their seats because of the army of criminals arriving in our land.
    “Stop the boats”, “Crush the gangs” .

    Today interviewed some leader of a large Trade Union earlier this morning. All talk of the total of the two contributions to Reform. BBC interview to the one leader refers to their contribution to the Enemy only. Elephant was in the studio – no equivalence between the Reform gift, x2 and ONLY one trade union gift. BBC sneaky as usual.

    Tell us BBC what the total sum of money given to the Enemy is from ALL trade unions.
