The real priority

We don’t need to lead the world with net zero crap, as the Labour apologist lady was telling us on GB Views the other night.
    What we need to do is what’s best for Britain rather than letting the looney Left do lots of pointless virtue-flagging before they shove their fists back into the taxpayer’s pocket.

More wonkism

Is there anything more pathetic than the lengthy trigger warning that Legend feels is needed before episodes of series 3 of T.J. Hooker with its flashing name titles?
    You’d really struggle to come up with something dafter.

Vehicular Ambiguity

‘Trust Ford NOW’ read the sticker on the rear window of the car. Which means what? Ford has been untrustworthy in the past but they’ve changed their ways, honest, we really have?

Unsettling Uncertainty

We had a couple of flashovers the other evening well after dark; the lights went out and came back on again almost immediately. Nothing in the way of weather going on to cause them.
    Something to alarm all-electric houses with no solid fuel heating in at least one room?

Bill, Bill all the way

It was a real Shatner night last night. He was in episodes of Star Trek, then T.J. Hooker then The 6 Million Dollar Man. Curiously, there was no trigger warning about the last one even though Bill could talk to dolphins after a trip into space!

Educational lapse

Storm E followed by Storm H? Whatever happened to Storm Farq and Storm Ghoolies?
    Short-changed, or what!

Consumption is the key

That story about Thames Water commissioning a survey of the real population of the London area and finding that it contains 12% of unsuspected illegals, based on water consumption, has been outed as nothing new.
    The sewage output of an area has been used in the past to work out real populations. Which leaves us wondering why the government never goes after real world data instead of making guesses. Probably because it’s easier to lie about the guesses than actual facts.

Not going to achieve much

Murderers who won’t go to the court room should have victim impact statements piped to their cell, the boss of the Prison Officers’ trade union reckons. But what if the prisoner just sticks his fingers in his ears? It’s not as if the screws dare remove them as they’d be violating the criminal’s human rights.

Two ways to do it!

How do you stop a shoplifter in a powered wheelchair who just drives around a police car when it tries to overtake and stop in front of the criminal? [As seen on GB Views last night.]
    The best choices offered have been 1. side-swipe the wheelchair and knock it over, and 2. pull alongside the wheelchair and shoot the occupant in the head!

Not that reliable

Virgin Media’s broadband internet was really crapidocious yesterday afternoon in my area. Sometimes, it zips along. But yesterday, I was sitting watching nothing happening for long periods until I jacked it in in disgust and did something else.

Double Talk

The government is turning regulation into strangulation with even more red tape despite all the talk about reducing it.
    It’s the same scenario as the PM and the Chancellor going on about growing the economy when not talking it down and taxing it into a slump.

Good holiday destination?

Maybe it would be a good idea to take a trip to the United States to see if I can spend this!

 

Nothing changes human nature

Despite 80 years of remembering the day when Allied troops reached the death factory at Auschwitz, I can’t see that the retelling is doing anything to change attitudes to minorities and neighbours. Africa and the Middle East are still full of civil wars and assaults on neighbours, and the message clearly hasn’t reached China.

Instant Alert

As soon as you hear a council mouthpiece utter the word ‘carbon’ in an excuse for making refuse collections monthly, the dodgy geezer flag pops up.
    If the council is out of cash, you just know it has been wasted on diversity crap and global warming swindles.

Going from experience

The government’s apologists are frantically trying to throw a security blanket around the Attorney General, Lord Hermer, with respect to the Chagos Islands and Adams the IRA terrorist.
    But if it’s lawyers plus politics plus Labour, then there can be no presumption of innocence in the real world. We have to start off from a presumption of guilt and it’s up to the accused to prove he’s innocent.

Not wanted on voyage

What use to us is a lawyer, prime minister, attorney general, etc. who can accept only decisions against the best interests of the UK taxpayer from foreign courts of doubtful authority and relevance?
    What use to us is a system that doesn’t let us bin people like that before they can do permanent damage to the country?

No satisfying some people

South Cambridgeshire council thought it would be cute to lets its employees be paid 5 days’ wages for 4 days’ work. But all this has achieved is to turn some of the staff into mental wrecks, who think everyone who pays council tax hates them for being part of the swindle.

Untouchable

The lastest from Elon Musk about his alleged Nazi salutes at the Trump reinstatement is vague defiance. “I can get away with anything now”, seems to be the message. And he could well be right!

Unlikely allies

Major supermarkets traditionally screw every penny they can out of the farmers that supply them. But they’re now so worried about our wonderful government killing off traditional family farms that they’re now lining up alongside the protesting farmers. Things must be really desperate in the real world.

Just stop it

That smart meter advert with Angela Ripoff and an Einstein cartoon remains an affront to the human race. Everyone involved in making it should be dropped into a deep, dark hole and left to fester.
    Preferably, along with Edstone Miliband.

We need a Trump

Desperately! The Rape Crisis Scotland charity is being mocked mercilessly over its definition of a woman – anyone who says they’re one.
    Which sums up what has gone wrong with the country. Too many idiots unchallenged in positions of authority and influence.

Robot in action again?

The hyphenation A.I. strikes again. Netflix became Netf-lix at a line break. Wot next?

Demolish the alibi

Let us be clear about this: the pensioner Winter Fuel Allowance wasn’t grabbed to bolster the foreign aid budget or some other pretend good cause. Rachel Thieves used the cash to pay off the trade unions which shove cash into the Labour party’s pockets. As simple & as dishonest as that.

Lose either way

Why don’t people in L.A. build stone houses not wooden ones? has been asked. Because it’s an earthquake zone and stone houses fall down when wooden ones just shake a bit.
    Which isn’t much help if basic fire-prevention precautions in a known danger zone aren’t taken.

Near miss

When some cold caller rang up to ask if I’m the home owner, I made by excuses and hung up. It turns out that 01165 076 144 belongs to an outfit in Leicester, which those who listened longer to the spiel wrote off as operators of an energy scam.

Evolution in action

The severe criminal offence of mansplaining has spread to the female of the species. A study has revealed the womansplaining is just as common now, and it causes just as much offence to the target of the splanation.

If only

Could Donald Trump be persuaded to visit the UK to sign some more of his Executive Orders to pardon those railroaded into gaol by Bier Smarmer after he let the story that the Southport killer is an asylum seeker spread unchecked and the riots erupt?
    Especially those who just put rubbish on the internet out of sheer ignorance.

Thumbs Down

Should we have a death penalty for someone like the Southport killer? Definitely. Especially in cases like this where there is no doubt about who did what.
    Locking the creep up for 52 years is a total waste of resources which can be much better used. Unless some criminal in his gaol does us the immense favour of knocking him off.

Possibly?

Why sign a defence pact with Poland when we are unable to defend our shores? a Daily Mail reader asked.
    Maybe in the hope that our new allies will gallop to our rescue when the Russians start their invasion?

Woke equals waste

Why are local councils talking about global majority candidates when the subject is local jobs here? This is a scam out of the same box as the one that pretends anything done here affects the global climate. Councils should be picking new employees on the basis of merit and willingness to work only. Nothing else.

Cute!

The opinion that Israel agreed to the Gaza cease fire because there’s nothing left to bomb there.

Oily oligarch or man of the people

I’m still wondering why the London mayor thought he could get away with claiming he’d never heard of the grooming gangs of Pakistani immigrants. Unless he was lying, of course. Which is always on the cards when a politician is involved, especially one of the current Labour lot.
    Perhaps the answer lies in the observation that Boris Johnson used to charge round the city on a bike when he was the mayor but Khan daren’t to anywhere without his armoured limousine for fear of being knocked off by a disgruntled resident.
    The one bloke was out there and he knew what was going on. The other lives in his ivory tower and hasn’t got a clue what happens beyond it.

An enigma

Isn’t it strange that freebies offered to politicians are never denounced as bribes?

The way forward

What we need to do is turn the Chagos islands; especially the one with the air base; over to the United States instead of bloody Mauritius. It might buy us a bit of slack in the trade deal that we need after all the slagging off that the Labour lot have done about Donald Trump. And it avoids wasting £90 billion on renting the air-base island.
    But something that logical and sensible would never occur to a deadleg like Smarmer in a million years.

A constant

The H2S fast railway between London and points north is ridiculously over budget and behind schedule. Same with the ferries commissioned by the Scottish government. The latest in the line of flops is the Sizewell C nuclear power station plan, which will cost double the original guess if it’s ever built.

Make ’em squirm!

How inventive of the people in the Ceiriog Valley area of Wales to mock Wrexham Council by describing themselves a Pothole Land and a sort of theme park where the neglect of a local council can be viewed by connoisseurs of fragmenting roads.

Reality Bit?

Faced with spending 8 weeks being chewed to pieces in court, Prince Hairy rushed to an accommodation with the owners of The Sun. Cue floods of crocodile tears from the legal trade.

Another fantasy

The notion of sticking a tax of 100% on properties in Spain bought by foreigners from outside the EU is looking like a piece of political posturing by the prime minister, given the struggle he has to get his bright ideas through the Parliament.
    Looks like Greece and Cyprus, which would benefit from the assault on holiday home buyers, aren’t going to get a bonanza.

It’s all gone very quiet

About Labour’s dopey plan to surrender the Chagos Islands to Mauritius and hand over BILLIONs of our money for no good reason. In a sensible country, something like that happening would start a revolution.

Fantasy Fiction

I suppose it makes a sort of sense if the owner of a social media site sacks the independent fact checkers and lets the customers pick what they want to be the truth.
    It’s not as if anything you see online is reliable. In fact, it’s difficult to find anything anywhere that’s reliable these days.

Send her off!

Our dishonest fantasist of a Chancellor reckons she’s there for the long haul. Which amounts to taunting the rest of us.
    Blow your whistle, Ref, and send her back to the dressing room.

A hard life

Sergeant T.J. Hooker doesn’t half do a lot of running about. Poor old bloke, not having more than one minion to do his running for him.

Some Ordeal

Crumbs! With every marching band in creation having to do a lap of Donald Trump endlessly after he was sworn in, he must have amazing bladder control! Great for filling up TV time, not really anything worth watching for the suckers at home here.

Attention Seeking

Bloody typical! Elon Musk trying to make the Donald Trump inauguration all about himself with his victory speech.
    And what was that all about – spraying Nazi-style salutes to all points of the compass? Weird lot, these Yanquis.

Legal Levelling

Spotted by a Daily Mail reader: if kids of 16 and 17 involved in a murder can’t be named in court, then they’re not entitled to cast a vote at an election.
    Beer Smarmer take note.

Really Golden

Donald Trump was getting doses of the Smarmer mute button on GB Views last night. There’s just so much you can take from someone ranting on and bloody on endlessly about stuff that isn’t anything to do with you.
    Especially if you were expecting to get the Headliners show with a preview of the headline issues on today’s papers. WFT happened to that?

Not our problem

The feeling in the Mansion among the sports fans is that as long as Donald Trump doesn’t mess about with the CFL, he can do what he likes with Canada.

Another way out

That was a cute observation about the Israeli prime minister. He’s reserving the right to call off the cease fire with the bad guys in Gaza if he looks like being dragged into court on these corruption charges he’s been dodging for so long.
    Practical politics, I guess you’d call it.

One way out

An appropriate ending for a dedicated crossword fanatic who knows the end is near – clue: poison (7), the fan manages the first four letters of the answer then expires!
    A fitting comment on a premature end!

No More!

Why, oh, why do we still get a total sentence for a gang of bad guys? It’s a silly cliche and a meaningless number without details of how many BGs and their individual sentences.
    Maybe if the editor of the rag that does it were to be fined £1,500 plus the victim surcharge for each offence, that might put a stop to it.

Unlikely tale

How could a round of spending cuts be political suicide for the Labour party? If they choose to, they can cling on to mid 2029 and they have already blown their credibility.
    They are at rock bottom and can’t sink any lower.

Vulture Bait

About all you can say about Rachel Thieves now is she gives the pundits on GB Views plenty to laugh about. Being so desperate for ideas that she’s hoping to get some from the stultifying oafs running qangos is particularly risible.

The next move?

Could it be that electric scooters will have to have a breathalyzer built in to the power circuit? Sounds sensible if 70% of the serious crashes at night involve riders who have been drinking to excess.

No, not a big deal

My history guru tells me that the Daily Mail is yelling old news with its World Exclusive about Hitler’s ‘girlfriend’. It’s well known to anyone who paid attention at school that the Mitford ladies were smitten by Adolf Hitler. And, no doubt, he was rather surprised and please to be courted by English arisos.

Beer boggs it

Our prime minister’s brilliant response to the agitation about the people who covered up for the Pakistani rape gangs getting away with it is to blow £5 million on 5 local inquiries, which won’t have the power to drag the coverers-up before them for interrogation.
    Typical lawyer’s ‘solution’ – the illusion of doing something without actually achieving anything.

A Blair consequence

Why is there an A&E waiting time crisis? Because New Labour closed community A&E departments & concentrated the service in large regional centres.
    Chairman Mao is infamous for killing 50 million of his subjects via a famine, which was an unexpected consequence of one of his Big Ideas. Looks like A&E is in a similar state of disaster; one of the Labour party’s making.

The next plague

Apparently, it’s going to be a form of bird flu, which can transfer to human very sneakily. It can infect cattle, which pass it on via the unpasteurized milk the wokes insist on having.

Crafty manoeuvre?

Could our PM be is hoping that if the news media go on endlessly about the rape gang cover-ups, then the fickle British public will lose interest in the subject?
    Which will mean no embarrassing inquiry and all the Labour politicians, council staff & police who let the attacks go on won’t be held accountable for their abuses in office.

Is life too complicated?

Apparently, drinking coffee in the morning protects the human body against heart attacks and strokes. But if you drink it in the afternoon as well, that protection vanishes.
    Whoever designed the human body has a lot to answer for.

Mugs Shuffled

Tiny Tulip has been replaced at the Treasury by the pensions minister, who has a history of lobbying for the Chinese. Her job has gone to a former civil servant turned MP, who came up with the idea of the Edstone, which made such a laughing stock out of Ed Miliband during the 2016 election campaign.
    One thing you can never accuse Bier Smarmer of is being short of duck eggs to put in important jobs.

Why not?

Was there any point in not letting Rachel Thieves go to China? That’s the Chancellor who has trashed the economy, by the way. It’s not as if she has any fixes to offer. All she can do is keep on blundering and make things worse.
    Shame she wasn’t made to pay for the junket out of her own pocket rather than ours, seeing she came back with a shower of wibble but nothing concrete and of value to the taxpayer.

The Smarm of Death

Our wonderful PM declared he had full confidence in his anti-corruption minister. The next day, the Chancellor’s deputy, Tiny Tulip, was gone from the gang at the Treasury.
    Beer also has full confidence in Rachel Thieves.
    Shame no one has any confidence at all in Beer.

Rachel in Blunderland

According to our prime minister, the Chancellor who trashed the economy is doing a fantastic job, and everyone in the Labour party agrees with him (which is an obvious lie). And so he’s given her a licence to fail for as long as he’s Labour’s leader.

Worst of the worst

We’re surrounded by pockets of methane trapped under the sea around our island. But we have just a week’s supply in storage on land, and that puts us in danger of power cuts when the weather gets cold.
    What sort of useless bastards do we have running government and the gas industry? Could we possibly get any worse ones?

Another one

The world was staggered when the word superyacht became supery-acht when hyphenated at the end of a line in a newspaper column.
    The boot was on the other foot when copyright became cop-yright at a line break the other day. Blame the A.I. system?

The second dose

There’s an air of gloom among the sports fans at the Mansion as November and the end of the Canadian football season nears and the Grey Cup looms.
    We have it again as the NFL goes through the elimination process to pick the two teams for February’s Super Bowl.

Second rate

If Tulip’s aunt got away with four billion quid, it’s possible to sneer at former French president Nicolas Sarkozy, who was put on trial for accepting a lousy fifty million in bribes for President Gaddafi of Libya.

Qualified, or what!

Most of Beer Smarmer’s choices for ministers have been a dead loss; mainly because most Labour MPs have never had a proper job and they don’t have much contact with the real world.
    But, paradoxically, one of them does.
    Smarmer chose as his anti-corruption minister the diminutive Tulip Siddiq.
    What does she know about corruption? Well, Tulip’s aunt, who used to run Bangladesh, is being pursued by the government there for the four billion quid, which she’s alleged to have disappeared from a Russian nuclear power project. Get out of that!

Abuse of OUR rights

It might be okay for foreigners to treat women as chattels in other countries but it’s not okay here. And it’s a moral judgement and nothing to do with fear – a phobia is a defined medical condition.
    Which means we need to tell the far-Left to get lost when they trying to turn their junk concept of Islamophobia into a criminal offence.
    If they get away with that, what next? Shoving people with a genuine fear of heights, spiders, corrupt politicians, etc. into gaol?

Don’t bet on it

Beer Smarmer reckons he has every confidence in his failed Chancellor, Reeves, and she will still be in the job at the next elections.
    So that’s her doomed.
    And there’s no guarantee that Beer himself will still be around then. Not if he gets the Corbyn Crunch from someone else as treacherous as . . . Beer Smarmer.

More Fantasy

Them foreigners sure are sneaky if the Labour party is right when it claims that the petition for another general election got its over 3 million signatures due to foreign interference rather than the discontent created by a useless government.

Mass of cash

Fourteen billion pounds. That’s how much the Department of Work & Pensions lost to fraudsters and blunders committed by the idiots working there last year.
    Makes the amount stolen from pensioners by ending their Winter Fuel Allowance look really trivial.
    And, of course, none of the idiots was sacked for messing up on a grand scale. And, of course, the management got the usual huge bonuses out of the taxpayer’s depleted pocket.

He knows, you know

Lots of words of wisdom from Michael Fabricant on GBViews the other night. He reckoned that unlike Nigel Farage, he didn’t need 8 extra jobs when he became an MP because he’d already made a packet as a successful businessman.
    And that was the basis of his explanation for the disasters caused by our inept and vindictive Chancellor.
    Like most Labour MPs, Rachel Thieves has never held a proper job and she has no concept of what is involved in running a business. That’s why the wheels keep coming off when her financial fantasies are exposed to cruel reality.

Life is cheap to this government

 There was a sting in the tail of the Readers’ Letters page of the Sunday Post, Scotland’s favourite newspaper. A reader recalled that when in Opposition, the Labour party calculated that ending the winter fuel allowance for pensioners would result in the premature death of 4,000 of them.
    [I assume Labour did this because they were hoping to use their conclusion to club the Tories if they could pretend that ending the WFA was Tory policy.]
    Now in Government, the reader added, Chancellor Reeves looks to be on course to double that 4,000 figure before this winter has done with us.
    There’s something cheerful for anyone who’s old or infirm to dwell on. not.

Another absconder

With government borrowing as high as it was when Gordon Brown was getting the wrecking of the British economy started, how strange that our Chancellor thought it a good time to zoom off to China and ignore the problems she’s created here.
    More Reeves fantasy: one minute, she’s saying she’s getting talks started, the next she’s claiming she’s bringing home £630 billion. No chance that she’ll return the £40 billion she stole with her budget, though.

Definitely two-tier

In Opposition, with no responsibilities, Beer Smarmer was always yelling for someone to be sidelined. In Office, he’s done another U-turn. Which explains why he’s not doing anything about his minister Tulip Siddiq, who’s drowning in the scandal created by the aunt who used to run Bangladesh.

The idiocy of politics

The Democrap mayor of L.A. is getting a lot of flak for being in Ghana on a jolly when the wildfires started to consume the edges of the city. As if that event was marked on her calendar and the lady chose to ignore it and be thousands of miles away.
    But what is justified is demanding her resignation for turning the water supply into a disaster area so that firemen were connecting hoses to hydrants, only to find no water coming out of them.

Something to do

That’s a great idea – treating boat people as tourists. No Border Force taxi service in the Channel. If they reach the beach here, they’re on their own. If they want something, they pay for it, not us. If they can’t pay, dump them at their embassy and see how much help they get there.

A whinge as an alternative to action

Every time the wildfires eating the edges of Los Angeles are on the news, we get some stooge going on about climate change. Isn’t it about time they realized that doing a whinge isn’t much use?
    If the climate changes, and you want to go on living where you do, you need to adapt. But this seems to be beyond the powers that be. That’s why wildfires keep raging and bits of Britain keep getting flooded – because governments and local authorities can’t realize that adequate defences would be a great idea.

Foul

Crossword clue: Driving test error (5). Answer: Minor.
    What utter bollocks. Whichever crossword compiler came up with that should be hanged, drawn & quartered several times as an example to the others.

The Jess Phillips dilemma

Is the safeguarding minister a wonderful human being? She used to be a decent person 7 years ago, but after drinking from the poisoned chalice of office, she has dropped into the pit with the rest of Smarmer’s crew. She can now turn a blind eye with the best of them as doing the decent thing would involve exposing the many defects of the party leader. So from now on, she’s going to be as unhelpful as Beer Smarmer and all the other Labour MPs with a guilty conscience.
    Elon Musk went way over the top about Phillips and Smarmer, which is where he lives, but he was right about their current immobility on the issue of Pakistani rape gangs.
    All Phillips can do now is wait for the next political scandal to come along and hope it takes the spotlight off her.

No Juice Left

Why would the government take any notice of Lord Kinnock pointing out that the UK couldn’t handle a Russian missile attack when current and previous heads of the military have pointed this out and been ignored?

Might work

What if a pensioner who has been robbed of the Winter Fuel Allowance decides to do a course at a university or college of some sort and takes out a student loan to fund it? The crafty customer gets some cash, and there will never be any question of having to repay the loan.
    Cute!

Casually nasty

I see Apple is being made to compensate phone users for spying on their conversations – but only in America. Technology seems to come at the price of its creators assuming they can do anything they like to the mugs who buy it. Or use it, in the case of some search engines and the social media sites.
    The price you pay is seldom the real one.

Good point

An investigation of the Pakistani rape gangs, past and present, doesn’t need some bumbling judge or professor, who will take a decade to get anywhere. Just shove all the data into an A.I. system and the job will be done in no time.
    Which is probably why it isn’t being done, if Beer Smarmer is going to be top of the list of the guilty parties who tried to cover everything up.

Yawn again

I see the Met Office has managed to make 2024 another hottest year since records began by a small fraction of a degree. We might be impressed if the records went back thousands of years. But then, the MO Mob wouldn’t be able to do the ‘hottest’ line as things are known to have been much warmer and more prosperous several times in the last couple of millennia.

Rewards deserved only

After watching the lunchtime news yesterday and seeing hospitals choked full of customers, you appreciate that decent pay for the front-line staff is a great idea.
    But only if it comes at the expense of the tiers of pointless managers and all the diversity crap; and similar wastes of scarce resources, especially now our useless Chancellor has wrecked the economy.

Rare problem

What’s the worst part of the current cold weather? All the recycling/disposal bins are frozen shut and you need the strength of 10, or something solid and heavy, to get them open. Still, nothing a good spot of global warming won’t cure.

Stoking the crisis

I see the price of petrol and diesel is creeping up again, and electricity will be going up rather than down, as ‘promised’ by that useless lump Edstone Miliband.
    So much for Labour’s boasts about growing the economy and making everyone so much better off.

Not wanted on voyage

The prospect of Donald Trump as president has got some of the right people looking over their shoulder. Like the boss of FaceBook, who has dispensed with the services of Calamity Clegg, our sometime coalition deputy prime minister, as a means of being perceived as less toxic.

White is Wrong

One gets the impression that Labour gaslighters want to blame the agitation for an inquiry to name & shame the public servants who enabled the Pakistani rape gangs; something which hasn’t been done; on Elon Musk and then move on.
    Letting Beer Smarmer and all the others get away with their neglect of duty; councillors, council staff, the police, teachers, etc. And taking the spotlight away from the failure of Labour’s agenda of multiculturalism at the expense of white people and Labour’s contant and gratuitous accusations of racialism.

Invisible woman

We don’t seem to be hearing much from Rachel Thieves, the Chancellor who stole the winter fuel allowance from pensioners. I guess we’ll be hearing even less from her in March, whe she becomes known as the woman who caused the deaths from cold ot 6,000 old and/or infirm citizens.

No computer, no shopping

That’s the way our wonderful Labour government is taking us with 17,000 stores and hospitality businesses predicted to close down during 2025 thanks to Labour’s disastrous tax grabs.

Reckless scaremongering

The temperature tonight going down to -15 deg.C or even -20!! Sounds like someone is trying to make everyone in the top half of the country blow a fuse in fright.
    Just minus 6 where I am; which is more than cold enough.

Good Laugh

On the readers’ page of the Daily Mail, a correspondent reported that a lard-bucket passenger offered to pay Ryanair for two seats. So they gave him 6A and 25B.
    Certainly sounds daft enough to be true.

Good for him!

Apparently, Donald Trump is going to save us from the woke ludicrous Left cancel culture, or the 21st century McCarthyism as it’s being called.
    Whatever else he gets up to, that’s worth four cheers.

Extra kit needed

Apparently, some of our police forces are letting coppers carry multiple identity cards so they can pick one that suits the gender they’ve decided to be on a particular day.
    If some idiots have come up with over 100 genders, does that mean the uncertain coppers are issued with a rucksack to carry all them cards around?

The done thing

I was amused to read that the Dry January fad is being outed as a cause of excessive boozing in December, before the fadists get to it, and also February thanks to relief that it’s over.
    Which kind of misses the point of fads, namely that everyone knows they’re a waste of time but people go in for them anyway in order not to feel left out.

How long?

The Post Office is dragging its feet shamefully over making Horizon pay-outs. Things can only get worse if the government takes over the job, given everyone’s experience of civil service foot-dragging.

Musk among the pigeons

The rhetoric was OTT as an attention-getter but the underlying message was spot on. As confirmed by our prime minister’s response. According to Smarmer, only the far-Right has a problem with rape gangs of Pakistani immigrants operating in places like Rochdale and Oldham.
    Not something to trouble the local politicians, the council care staff or the police. Oh, no, it can be safely buried in the interests of the Labour party going for Moslem votes.
    Not something worth a proper inquiry if it will expose the failings of Smarmer when he was DPP and prepared to drag his feet on the issue.
    Nope, just a problem for the far-Right.

Accurate by mistake

I read that London’s cosmetic mayor was claiming the New Year fireworks display was the biggest in Europe. It was certainly a definition of what people like him are all about – loads of other people’s money gone up in smoke whilst he was boasting how brilliant he is and nothing to show for it left behind.
    Except lots and lots of debris to be cleared up at other people’s expense.

A bad case of it

What’s behind zillionaire Musk suddenly turning against Nigel Farage? Is it a case of access envy? Farage has been supporting Trump for years. Could it be that Musk is trying to see off a rival before The Donald takes office again?

Weasel Words

Are we impressed by a Home Office claim that it will stop at nothing to smash the people-smugging gangs? As the small boats are still arriving, it looks like the H.O. has already got to nothing and stopped there some time ago.

More of it

Is it for real, the idea floated by Labour’s back office that Smarmer could become a two-term prime minister by holding an election in 2027 so that he could begin a second term early/
    Sounds like someone’s been enjoying the taxpayer funded booze a bit too much.

Silly Season Already?

Elon Musk savages the useless Safeguarding Minister online about grooming gangs. Over the hill to the rescue comes . . . out gang-busting apology for a Home Secretary, Mrs. Balls.
    That would stop Musk dead in his tracks. not.

Take extra care!

If you’re on a motorway, you need to be extra vigilant. People are managing to drive the wrong way along them at an increasing rate.
    A result of the relentless dumbing down in the education system by The Blob? People just not able to understand road signs; even if they managed to pass the driving test somehow?

Not too Amber

Despite all the warnings about huge snow drifts and power cuts everywhere, we ended up with maybe two inches of snow and liquid water in puddles.
    Slush on pavements, full of footprints from people and dogs, the roads wet but navigable, and no need to panic.

Also lack of culture

We have an Education Secretary who doesn’t get that shoving VAT on private school fees will overload the public sector. She also thinks that the middle classes are in favour of it.
    Worse, one of her gaggle of advisors is a professor who thinks that schools shouldn’t focus on academic achievement, they should act as parking places for the kids until they’re old enough to go on the dole.

Victim culture strikes again

An actor (one I’ve never heard of) was content to file being called ‘spud’ at Cambridge as ‘affectionate’. Now, he goes for ‘casual racialist’. It has obviously never occurred to him that it’s ‘just locationist’ if he’s Irish.
    Maybe ‘chip’ would be more apt now if he’s carrying one on both shoulders.

Lost Loot

Why is Council Tax zooming up this year? So that local councils can shove huge amounts of our money into the Local Government Pension Scam; over 50% of receipts in some cases, including bankrupt Labour councils like Birmingham.
    Are we well served by this? Joke. Productivity is going down and down relentlessly in the public sector thanks to the shirk @ home culture. And with a Labour government, it can only get worse.

Even fewer points scored

The FBI in New Orleans have had to admit that the bloke who drove a pick-up truck into a crowd on New Year’s Day was acting along and their tale of looking for a gang was just more garbage.
    Even worse, they are unable to link that murderous attack to the explosion of an electric Tesla Cybertruck outside the Trump International hotel in Law Vegas. Maybe everything isn’t as connected as some people would wish.

It’s an explanation

If you’re on an airliner and the Russians shoot missiles at it, you’re suffering merely ‘external interference’.

Worth repeating

That’s the observation that if the Friends of the Earth are on the side of the lunatic Just Stoppers, then the poor old Earth don’t need no enemies!

Not sold on this, either

Former somebody Angela Ripoff does a smart meter advert with a cartoon Albert Einstein? What a descent from dignity.
    How desperate can you get for some cash?

No points scored

The FBI made a real bog of the New Orleans terror attack, rushing an agent to follow the statement by the police chief with an assurance that a bloke driving into a crowd and killing 10 people wasn’t terrorism. Only to have to come back and admit, actually, it was, after they found an ISIS flag in the truck. And now they’re looking for a whole gang of terrorists they knew nothing about. Eggon Mush big time!

Not exactly a selling point

Am I impressed by dry cell batteries containing ‘up to’ 10% recycled steel? Not even a little bit as I have been told that each recycling operation reduces the carbon content in the steel alloy and creates an inferior product.
    Thus the advertising has a negative effect on me. If they need to virtue-flag like that, the product is probably crap and I would buy something else.

Something to keep an eye on

I see the diversifiers are hoping to end the monoculture in the curriculum for schools. Translation: pollute things like history, which are about the achievements of people born here who grew up in our culture with token outsiders to make it more ‘diverse’.
    Which suggests that we need to be vigilant about our historical records to make sure that the diversifiers are not allowed to erase anything that they find inconvenient and that their prejudices can be expose if we ever move in to more enlightened times.

Pur-lease!

The mug doing the BBC lunchtime news yesterday was asking what people’s feelings were about the vehicular terrorist attack in New Orleans.
    Wot a bloody idiot! “How do you feel?” The ultimate idiot question.

By the way

In the film Johnny Mnemonic (1995), I noticed that they could get the date of the action, twenty oh six, right. The two thousand rot clearly set in at a later date. Probably as part of the useless New Labour agenda.
    That’s the same New Labour which tried to tell us that the 21st century started on January 1st 2000 rather than a year later, and blew a billion quid on the Millennium Dome fiasco.

Americans are weird!

Especially the Latinos in the T.J. Hooker episode last night if they think they need a gadget to make the front end of their car bounce up and down like a demented yo-yo.
    Fashion rots the brain. True.

On the nail’s head

Our wonderful prime monster has been diagnosed with a severe case of jet-lack.
    That’s why he keeps flying all round the world at our expense.
    It’s truly amazing what you can get away with when you’re a politician who’s not accountable to anyone.

What he got the K for

London’s disgraced mayor is stopping farmers from putting tax protest adverts on Tube trains by claiming that Transport for London’s rules don’t allow politically controversial stuff. Which is just another Labour lie as there has been lots of it in the past.

End of term report

Smarmer & Co. have maintained the Labour tradition of scoring nul points for honesty, integrity and competence.

Just Daft

The FBI claiming someone driving a pick-up truck past barriers and into a crowd in New Orleans with the intention of killing as many of them as possible wasn’t terrorism is just stupid.
    Especially if the guy had body armour and guns to shoot at the cops with. What other reason could the perp have had but to cause alarm and terror? He might not have belonged to Al Kaida or Hamas but he’s clearly out of the same box.

A spot of truth for a change

Ignore all the bullshit from Labour and its apologists about Labour’s plan to stop illegal immigrants not working. There never was a plan.
    Not when Smarmer’s Army took over in July, and not now because it’s just another of the issues which Beer has booted into the long grass rather than address.
