DEFRA, the Environment mob, is demanding cash to stock the countryside with ethnic minorities. It’s too white and middle-class at present, according to the wonks with diversity quotas to fill.
And too many people out in the sticks speak English as their first language, as far as the wonks are concerned.

More useless wokeism
Another illusion
British Armed Forces, including the Royal Navy, are to be allowed to shoot down drones which buzz them or their bases stroke ships. If they ever get the equipment needed to do it from a government which is more interested in buying welfare votes.
Not a real solution
It’s all very well for Reform UK to come up with a 5-point plan to Save Our Pubs but will there be any left by the time Nigel gets a shot at being PM. Which is two and a half years away at the earliest.
It’s The System
Is it news that the Mandelsleaze got a big pay-off when he was sacked from the job of ambassodor to the USA? Of course, it isn’t. He’s a politician and they always cop for a loada dosh whatever they’ve done.
Was anyone taken in by displays of outrage from the usual suspects? Of course, not. Everyone responsible for giving the cash to the Mandelsleaze knew that there would be a row about it. They also knew they wouldn’t get the sack for doing it because of the degree of corruption and injustice in The System.
Neat Trick
In a newspaper story about a French bloke who stuffed a World War I artillery shell up his bum and needed hospital treatment to have it removed, we were told that bomb disposal experts were called to ‘diffuse’ the shell.
Does that mean the hospital staff made the 8" long by 1" diameter shell just disappear into the environment rather than defusing it?
The hospital’s severely dodgy customer was later interviewed by the police as a preliminary to being charged with bumming around with a bomb.
Smarmer Swindle
Our wonderful government is paying hospitals a total of £3 million per month to remove customers from their waiting lists so that the government can lie about reducing waiting times for treatments.
Worse, hospital figures show that fewer patients were treated in the months when the government claims an increase in treatments.
“Creating the illusion of doing something is more important that actual action.”
Some choice
“How can a man with a record for lying and poor judgement remain as PM?” we are being asked by pundits. Who obviously can’t see that all that the Labour party has to offer as an alternative is someone even worse than Bier!
