Rumours that the BBC will start closing stations no one bothers with – eg BBC 3 to save Money … let’s hope that true …..and further – elsewhere – notice how the … man .. charged with killing Anne Widdecombe is charged with a terrorism offence against Nigel Farage 2 days after the Labour Party conference and 2 days before the Tory conference – political plod or what?

Andrew neil on trigonometry on you tube describing the decline of the BbC – and the rise of far left bias…
I suspect the main culprit in the French riots will turn out to be the ‘Far-Right’ who look to exploit and weaponise the legitimate concerns of young French citizens when the BBC has analysed and verified the facts….as they see them.
Interesting how the BBC and others desperately play down the violence, if not ignore it altogether, in a way they would never do even for an entirely peaceful anti-mass migration march such as Dover which is portrayed as sinister Far-Right thugs spreading fear and division in the community[that absolutely in no way supports them…lol] and are a huge threat to society.
During the French riots a teacher was doused with petrol…the BBC told us that in fact he was merely ‘splashed’ as a protester lit a fire. Hmmm…looking at this video [3 mins in] you can clearly see someone run up to another person and throw a large quantity of liquid onto that person. Why would the BBC et al try to report that as merely an accident? And note the communist flags…and the fact that the unions are urging yet more riots…oh…er…protests. Funny how the BBC doesn’t shout ‘Far-Left thuggery’.
It’s often said that we are paying more and more (public services) yet we get less and a much worse service.
For an example ….everything.
Why it’s happening, in my opinion, is there are ever more layers of people being employed in councils etc, almost all managerial posts, on big salaries and all empire building, accumulating more staff.
These manager types all have strange job titles like head of human diversity or some other crap which is a nothing (woke) job to make the department look good to other (woke) people.
It’s virtue signalling through employment.
All these new departments have to find a reason to exist so they micro manage tiny parts of everyday employment which nobody knew was a ‘thing’. Maybe making a big deal of having different rooms for lunch in case somebody has a ham sandwich and they don’t want to offend some other lot.
Maybe having an interpreter in so that they can hire somebody from a hilltop tribe who has asylum seeked his way here.
All of these are new ‘problems’ we didn’t realise we had when we just got on with the job.
These new managers all seem to be on very big salaries (£50k – £80k) and with their departments will be very expensive (so they sack a couple of bin men or a nurse)
The end result is we pay more and get less.
We could get rid or a third to a half of the civil service type jobs and improve it.
If Reform get in and get rid of all the useless and pointless empire building departments two things should happen.
Services will improve and happen quicker.
Costs will reduce.
One thing about the people being employed in councils etc, – those “executives” visibility is disappearing as their numbers and salaries multiply … I recall that one used to know the names of senior officials – I feel that that has become much less prominent…
Quangos on the other hand are pushing up through like Japanese knotweed… Starmer (snort, spit) gave us Great British Energy, Border Security Command, the Fair Work Agency, the Independent Football Regulator, Skills England, the Regulatory Innovation Office, and a series of taskforces (solar, jet zero, child poverty, new towns, and others). Some of these are statutory bodies; others are taskforces or units whose “quango” status is looser.
All stuffed with “executives”
Accountability and governance
The TPA’s standard line is that these bodies are unelected, operate at arm’s length from ministers, and are hard for taxpayers to scrutinise. Chief executive John O’Connell has called the set-up a “ministry of quangos” that “dwarfs that of any single government department” and should have functions axed or brought back under ministerial control.
In April 2025 it reported that, across 398 quangos in 2022–23, there were 4,605 board positions costing £125.8 million in remuneration, and that 285 people sat on more than one board. One individual, Martin Spencer, sat on nine.
Reporting of events in France on BBC web site – none this morning…
EG “we get less and a much worse service”
The International Wealth Service
My GP is now refusing to fill repeat prescriptions without a digital ID. I don’t blame my local surgery because they are just doing as they’ve been instructed.
They will no longer use my pharmacy service which worked perfectly. It has to be done by a smart phone QR code thingy or a facial recognition scan, which I’m not doing. I have my passport photo but they won’t take that.
The only alternative is to hand write the prescription request and take it to the surgery. Which is what I am going to do for Mr P & myself. I asked what happens to people who are unable to do that. “A carer” is the answer.
inconvenient….
There goes another B1B overhead
Tomo – it sort of supports my earlier comment about the calibre of the political class. I dont even think
They choose not to answer the numbers question- they just dont know
And they know they are unlikely to get a hard time on the BBC . Only the likes of nick ferrari or brillo come to mind as to fry politicians who dont know their brief …
As for tagging – i think we might find there are neither the number of tags – people to put them on – or people to monitor them .
And sickness in the probation service must be sky high …
Fedup2 – calibre of UK pols…? it’s not an inspiring spectacle is it?
£80K +£200k expenses should attract better – the uniparty SOP is to recruit compliant, ignorant dolts to parrot Civil Service opaque twaddle.
Tomo -once Upon a time some called ‘thoughtful?” Popped here arguing for better pay for politicians to attract a ‘higher calibre ‘ and less corruption … this might work in Singapore – but it would just mean a bigger trough and bigger snouts ….
… once the £100 k class of MP is exposed to big money – it’s all they want …. Along with the big gong of course …
They only think one headline ahead….get the good news out there…but have no plan for when their half-baked plan inevitably fails and the bad headlines start.
It’s all virtue signalling or ‘something must be shown to be done’ reactionary slop…no thought out plan with consideration of the long, or even medium, term consequences…covid and nut zero spring to mind but releasing hundreds of serious criminals for quick headlines doesn’t seem like a plan…not least for those women terrified of having a visit from the ex.
Jaw-dropping refusal to mention Islam in relation to the FlyDubai 9/11 terrorist attack.
The BBC dodges all over the place reporting this and that but scrubs all mention of ‘Muslim’ or ‘Islamism’ from just about every report….here’s it’s latest…no headline mention of ‘Islamist attacker’….just some anonymous co-pilot….
‘Australia investigating Flydubai co-pilot’s links to country’
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cxly4nym57q9o
Not as if a huge amount isn’t known about the terrorist…from the Telegraph…
‘Flydubai hijacker’s hateful rants while studying at British university’
‘The co-pilot accused of an attempted jihadist terror attack on an Israel-bound plane advocated violence against women and called for severe religious punishments while studying aviation at a British university, The Telegraph can reveal.’
The Mail…
‘British-educated Flydubai terrorist was found with Al Qaeda propaganda and plans to target Israeli planes three years ago – but was still allowed to fly’
How is it that the BBC refuses to report his Islamist background? You can guarantee if he’d been a member of Reform for a few days or had a dog that did joke Nazi salutes the BBC would plaster that all over the news and tell us how the Far-Right is the biggest threat to the world now.
Pug – maybe – in way – the event might do a bit of general good – and the assumption that all pilots are sane – not taken as a given … same with those looking to be trained ……
PIA get a free pass ?
All too easy to imagine that any “qualifying” foreign licences’s provenance is not checked. I wonder what’s going on with insurance companies?
Zimbabwe: 1,277 (2021), 6,390 (2022), 15,371 (2023), 17,004 (2024), 7,064 (2025)
Ukraine: 2,899 (2021), rising to 10,199 (2023), then 4,930 (2025)
South Africa, UAE and Hong Kong also run into the thousands in recent years
Moldova only appears from 2025 (1,424), after the exchange agreement.
Anecdotally the Met police have stopped mass ANPR stop operations (A4 Hammersmith “thousands” (no insurance, no MOT, no license) gridlock fiasco was the tipping point imho)
“They” can see the quantity – and *choose* to ignore it…. and conceal it…
BBC news is going big on strife in Spain over the rent market ….not so much on schools being torched in France – RICU on the case ..
Luckily the uk rental market is being destroyed anyway ….
I wonder if the dead Tory conference will have any effect on voting intentions ? The telegraph says that Penelope Mordent can stand as an MP again … she’ll need a big parachute – whilst the awful lefty grant shapes has been refused a ‘come back ‘…
His fame being to chuck 100 million at councils to close roads when he was ‘transport Secretary’ .. he has many sins …
Might do… – but most people are triggered when reminded of the traitorous Johnson and his uni party predecessors…
– I know I am – and wholly fed up with elected representatives who tippy-toe around issues that actually concern voters – sinecures for lazy dullards has to end.
“At the Labour Party Conference in Liverpool, Lisa Nandy said the social media ban was just a “staging post” and vowed to go further: “We shouldn’t accept that this is the end.”
Ahead of her conference speech, Ms Nandy said the ban was “a staging post to what must be a very active interventionist state, policing and regulating the online space so that people are safe”.
The mask has finally slipped.
The state is already far too interventionist, with officials monitoring and flagging people who criticise the Government and its policies online. Between 2021 and 2025, 62,199 people were arrested for communications offences — for things they had said online or over the phone.
Let us be clear: this push for greater online safety and regulation is no longer solely about protecting children online. It is also about giving the state greater control over what people can say online.”
of course it’s OK when they do it – eh
Ricky Jones is still on Dartford Borough Council and afaics not formally actually ejected from The Labour Party.

Apparently they have 1,000 hijabs to hand out to the channel crossers.
That lot should last about 30 years if they are just giving them to the women.

I suspect it’s not true. Far easier done from a keyboard in Cheltenham after a few words to the mobile network bosses + there’s now just three networks.
That area around Cheltenham is a ‘target rich ‘ environment …
Can anyone explain to me why being a climate looney-nutter (Green Party member) automatically makes one an anti-Jew Fascist Nazi thug?

No one seems to describe how the green loons turned into the Muslim party – but then the blob has been captured too – self censorship all around – the same will come from the corruption of English footy by Muslim oil money – ‘etihad stadium ‘ is a clue ….

“The suicide of Britain is unprecedented in human history. Many nations have been conquered and disappeared. Many nations have lost the will to fight to defend themselves (think of France in 1940). But national suicide by immigration and willful acceptance of Islamization on the part of the political and media elites? It’s something new. That’s one thing you can say about the British: they’re innovators.”
