The Irish government had to rush into denial after videos made at public expense were seen as trying to equate grandparents with paedophiles. Woke, indeed.
● The Irish Republic is now being condemned as a sewer of anti-Semitism, where they hate Israel almost as much as the UK and fossil fuels.

Battered, but not quite broken
Brighton has been selected as the image of what Labour government does. The iconic pier was closed to the public in 1975 and left to be battered to bitz by the weather because the council didn’t dare demolish it. It has been wrecked a bit more by Stiorms A & B.
The fact that some of it is left is a tribute to the Victorian builders in the 1860s, long before Labour was invented.
● Brighton also offers the tourist the opportunity to view holiday apartments owned by government ministers and wonder how many millions of taxpayers’ money were blown to buy the favours needed to raise the purchase price.
Talk, snag, inaction
The Education Sec., not the world’s brightest spark, sez a 4-day week and more pay for teachers in state schools is a good idea.
Told it can’t be done, she reduces it to a target. Can kicked successfully down the road.
File under ‘F’ for Fail
Wot was our posturing prime mayor doing on the Channel 4 show Celebrity Gobbledegook? He’s not a celeb. He’s just a clueless attention-seeker.
Something to look forward to
The alleged energy regulator, OfGem, is getting its alibis in place for running out of gas and the lights going out if we have a very cold winter. Meanwhile, the Labour loonies are working at pace to halve our gas storage capacity, which is only about 4 days at present.
Bad mistake
The law firm at the forefront of the campaign by Henry Sussex Windsor and others to shut down the Daily Mail has gone broke.
Pay up, or else
The senile doctors’ union is recycling the various legends used by their juvenile counterparts during their 3 years of industrial inaction. The Seniles don’t want to go on strike [yeah, right] but they want 25% more to get back to where they were ages ago and anyone who wants to see their arithmetic is a rotter.
