Ah Mr Farage...

 

Ah Mr Farage, with your two stamped addressed envelopes simply begging to be filled with anonymous hate mail you are really spoiling us!

X Canon Fodder

 

X/Twitter continues it's descent into the sewer as my timeline now appears full of Russian proxies wittering on about "Europe poking the bear".  It really is a sewer of the maddest people.  Fanatics who go on about God.  Atheists who go on about God.  Anti-vaxers offering sage advice on how your child will "just recover from measles".  Members of the GOP stating NATO should be abolished because the threats disappeared with the USSR (wasn't the only time Article 5 has been invoked after 9/11)?  Yeah wanted us then.  Piers Morgan giving a platform to some unpleasant incel who giggles that "Hitler was cool".  The newspapers are full of NATO leaders telling us to be ready for war.  A lot of hard work has been undertaken by a lot of people to bring all civilisation to the brink of WWIII. It's all depressing and there is no jollity.  Shoplifting is at a record high as the pigs are too busy locking up Palestine Action protesters to crack down on organised crime.  Was it always like this?  But peak creepy goes to this video from Russian Television of Cadets at the Kremlin looking forward to becoming canon fodder promoted by a homophobic nutter.  None of the cadets are women but every one has a woman.  Surely statistically someone should be on their tod?  Russia's current deaths are probably somewhere north of 450000... So about half way to WWI casualty rates ...so we all know that if Putin withdrew now his regime would undoubtedly collapse politically so Trump's peace plans are piffle...  A lot of people have worked very hard to plunge us into WWIII.  I hope they're very proud...

That’s cool, no LGBT crap and such.

Whopper of the Day

 

Sitting Labour MP Tulip Siddiq recently told the BBC that no one had contacted her about her corruption conviction in Bangladesh.  She simply read about it in the newspapers and they should have written to her at the Palace of Westminster.

In fact the Bangladesh's Anti-Corruption Commission have been perusing the case since December 2024.  She resigned as a Minister in January 2025.  In April the ACC issued it's arrest warrant.  She was tried in-absentia alongside 26 others, on 11 August and found guilty this week.  Her Lawyers say the charges are "politically motivated" and that the ACC had not brought forward any evidence to support its arrest.

Yet she only just found out about it.

The Labour Party refuses to remove the whip.

Gaslighting of the day

Magna Carter : "NO Freeman shall be taken or imprisoned, or be disseised of his Freehold, or Liberties, or free Customs, or be outlawed, or exiled, or any other wise destroyed; nor will We not pass upon him, nor condemn him, but by lawful judgment of his Peers, or by the Law of the land. We will sell to no man, we will not deny or defer to any man either Justice or Right".

This section of Magna Carter remains active in British Law.  It has been watered down over the years by concepts such as Fixed Penalty Notices and non-indictable offences but it remains a major inconvenience to successive governments.

David Lammy : "Magna Carta was a protest against state failure. If its authors saw the delays in our courts today, they would not urge us to cling rigidly to tradition. They would demand action.*

Well, that's a whopper, innit.  Magna Carter was not a protest against state failure.  The Barons we'rent protesting that public services weren't as good as they used to be.  They were protesting against unchecked executive power.

The fact is the government's many political prosecutions often against protestors across the political spectrum fall apart time and time again because when it's cases get before a jury they're not having it.

The solution to the backlog in the justice system is not the abolition of the justice system in favour of Kangaroo Courts or Star Chambers, it is the reversal of decades of underfunding.

Bone idle

I'm not saying the Royal Family are lazy but Tom Baker finally wins an MBE at 92 and no actual Royal Family member can be arsed to turn up.  The Lieutenant of Kent, Lady Colgrain is sent along instead.  There are 800 MBEs each year and about 7 "full time working" Royals?  If they divvied them up that's about 100 or so each? Okay, they're recently down a Prince or two but come on... Bone idle!
