Just self-interest

Despite continual moans about lack of prison places when in Opposition, Labour has no intention of building more gaols and no plans for repairing defects in existing ones.
    Hence the early release plan to restore Labour-voting criminals to the community.

Wreck everywhere

Labour’s borders minister is applying D.I.E. to illegal immigrants. Putting them in cheap housing in poorer areas leads to civil unrest.
    This means that they should also be put in more expensive homes in better areas to allow everyone to experience the disruption they bring on equality grounds.

Labour-inflicted disaster

Labour’s rewilding agenda is getting the blame for destroying vast areas of countryside by creating the conditions that make wildfires readily containable.
    Still, no need to worry about repeats of the wildfires in the scorched areas for a good long while.

Questions

A doctor who was a friend of imprisoned nurse Lucy Letby has died after being sacked over text messages sent to her a decade ago. What was the agenda behind putting this on the front page of a national newspaper?
    An attempt to distract attention from something extra dodgy? Something that the government is trying to hide? Or am I being over-suspicious because I’m reading Brief Candle by Robert Arion, in which everyone, especially the government, its minions and persons of influence, is up to something dodgy?

Today’s Observation

When you read that someone who went on a 5-week holiday in Thailand came home to a phone bill of £159,230 and endless hassle from the phone company, the first thing you do is make sure you have nothing to do with that outfit. Ever!

Another unwanted record

The Milipede Madness record for paying wind farms to switch off was shattered on the 2nd Saturday of this month. That’s when it reached £1 billion of our money darn the drain for nothing in return.
    These constraint payments wasted £1.5 billion in 2025. They expected to reach £3.2 billion this year.

Off-target quibble

Jonah Burnbum is always droning on about Manchester being in the north, but a cartographer has worked out that the geographical centre of Britain is 40 miles north of Manchester, which puts the city in the midlands. And ignores the fact that the context of Up North is England, not Britain, as there is another government beyond the border at the north end of England.
