The EIB is the investment arm of the EU, it is underwritten by the states, which means in practice their taxpayers. So, when the EIB provides £80m to Ford for them to invest in their Turkish plant, whilst simultaneously closing plants in the U.K. and Belgium, we have an example of political...

A failure by elected politicians, the civil service and other organs of the establishment to deal with “immigration” cannot be the fault of the Brexit voting electorate. It’s a measure of the determination of all the above on “net zero” matters that some political shit can get “done” in this...

I have no doubts it’s a complex issue which people feel passionately about, but certain aspects require clarity. Immigration has winners and losers, the losers will ALWAYS be the working class. It’s a UNDENIABLE fact, it was a fact when Empire Windrush docked in Tilbury in the 50s and it held...

Blimey, you must think when football players kiss the badge on the shirt that they really love their clubs? I thought it was only kids that thought that………….sheesh. Kinda explains how we have our new citizens chucking acid and planting bombs around the place doesn’t it?

The ignorance you refer to is a 2 way street. I would suspect the vast majority of people understand legal conventions and the UK’s responsibilities, however when the reality (or perception) indicates that those obligations are working against the interests of native British people then there...

I have no doubt that’s true, the BBC generate huge amounts of revenue by distributing its output to other broadcasters, and years ago it would be disclosed (as it was on how much they spent on pensions and prosecuting non payers). I think (at the time) Tellytubbies was the all time champion...

Scraps from the men’s game, however…………. https://www.sportspromedia.com/news/wsl-media-tv-rights-tender-deal-broadcast-live-games-sky-bbc-tnt-dazn/?zephr_sso_ott=qVd9gY You are going to be able munch yourself senseless on games from the friends of Dorothy league.

The use of the term “Windrush” is childish at best, insulting at worst. For a start if it’s genuinely being referenced to the ship that docked at Tilbury then was the Empire Windrush. A ship originally built in Germany and used by that lot before the war, whilst during the war it was used to...

Surely it would only make sense to spaff over £6m on these changes if Khan wasn’t warning Londoners that they face rising council tax bills (or increasing TfL fares). https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/sadiq-khan-city-hall-london-council-tax-b1047693.html As for promises in manifestos...

This country has a poor record in the deportation game, Professor Tanja Bueltmann needs to up her game on Brexit if this is all she can come up with...

You sound like you may have been in a coma for the last 30 years or so……… https://www.talk-english.co.uk/rochdale-celebrations/ it may be quicker to translate your sentiments into Urdu.

Actually in 2021 it was at 36%. I guess if it wasn’t so substantial the election of their local MP would be a simple affair which would focus on local issues as oppose to the tiresome squabbles of peoples living in a shithole far far away, and which has nothing to do with the metropolitan...

Like there are no agendas at play from the cohort that seek to suppress the implications of crimes committed by our new fellow citizens by equalising them to crimes committed by native U.K. born individuals. A reprehensible position if ever there was one. Every crime committed by those that...

This planet at the current best scientific analysis is 4.5bn years old, give or take a margin of error of 50 million years. This best guess is based on the analysis of the oldest rock that has so far been tested. It will be a brave scientist that suggests there isn’t another rock out there...

The kicker is the “on record” bit isn’t it………how many years are on record over the last 4.5bn years? At the beginning of the Tertiary period the global climate was tropical, and at the end it went into an ice age, humanity didn’t even exist...

Coppers getting away with it, state institutional incompetence, ruined lives……………………… https://jordanssolicitors.co.uk/2024/01/report-declares-children-were-left-at-the-mercy-of-their-groomers-as-greater-manchester-police-failed-to-prevent-the-rochdale-grooming-scandal/ The investigative media...

You shouldn’t be worrying about that, on the Viaplay Extra channel John Terry is just getting an award at the Global Soccer Awards being hosted in Dubai. I think it’s live!! I think that’s represents a royal flush in the NSC screamers heirachy of contemporary offence. I would have thought...

To be fair he didn’t get much at Wembley vs Italy, I didn’t hear any. https://talksport.com/football/1605494/boos-jordan-henderson-drowned-out-cheers-england-italy/ Fella sat near me who was at Australia game said it was audible at that game but it was a different crowd; much more like a...

Twas always thus, our recollections if we wanted would also include multiple NHS failure cover ups, the Cambridge 5, BBC and Savile, cash for honours, politicians expenses, Railtrack, Weapons of mass destruction, ignoring child sexual abuse by grooming gangs, Libya, RBS, demutualisation of...

It’s worse than that where I work, the HR team (or whatever they are called these days) sent out a circular encouraging staff to wear such garments during the “festive season”. Given how obsessed they usually are about sustainability I fired an email back to their Director pointing out the...
