How my friends the Poles look like beating the UK for prosperity

I have much to thank the Poles for. My house is immaculate thanks to the Poles who clean it. My plumbing works thanks to a Pole who is always available. And my breakfast room extension looks great thanks to the Pole who painted it.

So it came as no surprise to me a fascinating piece by Emma Duncan, the British editor of The Economist, shows that incredible as it may seem Poland may be more prosperous than the United Kingdom by 2030.

As she admits that calculation uses growth rates in the two countries from 2014-2019 when Poland grew at 4.4% a year while we were at 1% per year. Those numbers may not continue but with productivity in the UK bloody awful - and I am thinking about the bosses even more than the workforce- I am not hopeful about our future wealth.

The Poles came here in their hundreds and thousands in 2004 and took jobs that we did not have skills for or more likely weren’t prepared to do for the money. Thinking of plumbing and other building work more specifically.

As Poland has become wealthier a number of the Poles have started going back. That is a shame and that is also a problem.

Where is our skilled labour to come from? And are we educating our children well enough to do the jobs for the future?

In the latest Pisa global education ranking Poland beat Britain and America coming 10th in reading and maths and 12th in science.

I feel a little gloomy right now. We spend too much time talking about work life balance and too little about working bloody hard to make our lives in old age more secure.

Learn from the Poles or face a difficult time ahead.

Why did judge free jilted girlfriend who was branded a “danger” to men after stabbing ex with 6inch knife.

In my occasional series entitled Dim Judges of the World I present for your analysis Judge James Burbidge.

Before him at Worcester Crown Court was Chloe Kendrick, aged 28, who admitted grievous bodily harm by stabbing her ex.

The boyfriend, Daniel Wint, had gone round to her flat to drop off some of her belongings now they were no longer together.

In a drunken rage she grabbed a 6inch kitchen knife and plunged into his stomach while screaming; “Now you know how I feel.”

Mt Wint had a 2inch stab wound and lost four-and-a-half litres of blood in the attack.

Imagine if the attack had been the other way round. What would have been the sentence? Anywhere between 2-3 years I would have thought.

Instead Kendrick was handed a 20-month sentence suspended for just six months and given an 8pm to 7am curfew.

This is what Judge Burbidge said on sentencing; “Do you present as a danger to the public?

“I think if you again entered a personal relationship you will present a danger to that individual.

“You run a risk of taking your own life and a risk, if you were incarcerated of carrying such a threat out.”

Does anybody seriously worry about Kendrick? Certainly not me. It is only by the grace of God that she did not kill Mr Dint.

After the case Kendrick was photographed carrying cans of lager before going on to celebrate. Full of remorse? No but full of beer.

Should people like Judge Burbidge be allowed to sit on the bench when they sentencing mistakes like this.

I think not.

Dim Rooney apologises but it can only be a matter of weeks before both the wife and Derby give him the boot.

There is only one person thicker in the Rooney household than Wayne and that must be his wife Coleen.

Why she has put up with his drunken behaviour with other women is beyond analysis. It can’t be the money as his big earning days are behind him and there is still enough sploshing around the Rooney bank to keep her in holidays post divorce for the rest of her life.

Last night Rooney apologised to his family after photos emerged of the Derby County manager partying and falling asleep in a budget hotel bedroom with young scantily clad women.

In an attempt to put a lid on the whole affair he paid £1 to the three party girls for the copyright so that nobody else could publish them and embarrass Coleen and his four children.

Clearly he also fears that the fallout of the scandal is likely to cost him his job at Derby.

After winning a friendly football match against a Spanish side unusually he sought out Sky Sports News and told ; “I made a mistake. I went to a private party with two of my friends.”

Actually it was a Manchester night club while the missus was away in North Wales with the kids.

He went on; “I’d like to apologise to my family and the club for the images which were going round and I want to move forward on this (I’m sure he does).

I’m grateful to Derby County for giving me this opportunity to get this club back where it belongs”.

One source close to Derby said; “How can he lead a group of young men when he cannot appear to control himself in public during a night out.”

My bet is that Derby can’t wait to dump him and it will only take a maximum of two poor results at the beginning of the season - they play Huddersfield on August 7 and Peterborough on the 14th - for him to be on his way.
​
Then he will be home full time with the missus. Bet she can’t wait for that.

How Nigel Farage’s attack on the RNLI has led to unfair abuse of volunteers. Please stop.

Nigel Farage’s words matter. As he proved by forcing a Brexit vote he does have power. Even today with his nightly show on GB News he can draw an audience who hang on his every word.

Therefore he should be careful about what he says as it can have consequences.

This is what he said about the Royal National Lifeboat Institution; “It has become a taxi service for illegal immigration.”

The RNLI, a charity, have been called in by Border Force as they cannot pick up all the migrants making their way across the channel.
​
It is not RNLI’s fault that we cannot send back the migrants back to France who are clearly doing nothing about capturing the smugglers or turning round the  boats still in their waters.

​

Anyway the effect has been the volunteers are starting to be abused by members of the public. This is unacceptable.

The chief executive of the RNLI said the police had to be called to their HQ at Waterloo last week when a crew was “verbally assaulted” while reporting for duty.

The CEO, Mark Dowie, said half of all callouts for the nine RNLI stations along the coast between Eastbourne and Margate were to rescue migrant boats, a significant increase on two years ago.

The RNLI says its job is to “save lives at sea…..without judgment on how they came to be in the water.”

We need Priti Patel, our Home Secretary, to solve the problem. I like the Rwanda solution but one thing I do know it’s unfair and unreasonable to blame the RNLI.

Be grateful if it stopped right now.

Why the BBC is showing only 350 hours of live Olympics instead of the usual 3,000. Blame the Americans!!!

At last an explanation. The BBC’s coverage of the Olympics has been poor. A lot of chat but hardly any live.

Live is the only thing that matters in sport. I rather like the Sky Sports current on screen branding campaign; It’s only live once.

Well the BBC has proved it’s hardly ever live as far as they are concerned. Now we know why.
​
A senior BBC executive has explained that it’s all down the horrible Americans. Discovery, the US broadcaster, secured most of the rights in a £920million pan-European deal with the International Olympics Committee.

It runs until Paris in 2024. Most coverage is now on Discovery’s Eurosport, a subscription channel.

The reduced BBC live coverage - 350 hours instead of 3,000 - has meant the viewers missed Tom Daley and Matt Lee on Monday and much of the dressage when Britain won bronze.

Damian Collins MP, former chairman of the culture, media and sport select committee has accused the IOC of putting profit ahead of the long term health of the Olympic movement.

A good point.

Why doesn’t The Sun report the ONS stats showing black and brown Brits live longer than white people.

As a journalist there’s a great difficulty in reporting race statistics. Anytime they don’t conform with the agenda you are accused of being racist. Being white and, ahem, older, that is a given as far as the Left are concerned and a decent chunk of the activist black community.

So what am I to make of the latest research from the Office of National Statistics which shows Britons from ethnic minorities live longer than white people and are less likely to die from cancer.

Astonishing stuff. The Sun, which was always considered a working class paper and news website, solved the issue of the hot potato and simply didn’t report it. That was poor as the research was not carried out by some nutter organisation but the ONS which describes itself as “the executive office of the UK Statistics Authority which reports directly to Parliament.”

It doesn’t matter if you are black Caribbean, black African, Indian, Pakistani or Bangladeshi male or female you will live longer than your white counterpart.

Life expectancy for white Britons was 83.1 years for women and 79.7 years for men compared with 88.9 years for black African women and 83.8 for men.

​

White Britons were also more likely than any other to die of cancer. Cancer mortality was lowest among the Indians, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis.

However the South Asian and black ethnic groups had significantly higher death rates from diabetes, heart attacks and strokes.

Of course there will be cynics and jokers among you who start shouting black privilege and want an investigation into why whites are dying so much earlier than other communities.

Is it their diet? Do they face more stress? Is it their housing? After all if the results had been the other way round the  storm would have been enormous.

Veena Raleigh, an epidemiologist senior fellow at the King’s Fund, a healthcare think tank, got it right when she said the findings “may come as a surprise to many”.

Another expert said the results were in line with previous studies.

So there we are. We should be trying to raise the health bar for the white community. Would The Sun report that?

Why the hypocritical Muslim leaders around the world attack the West but don’t say a word about the forced labour camps of China

Pete Stevenson, a distribution manager from Luton, saved nearly £300 on his energy bills | Search cheap energy deals now

Imran Khan was a fine cricketer but a nauseatingly hypocritical politician.

As the Prime minister of Pakistan he has repeatedly attacked western politicians, notably President Macron of France, for encouraging alleged Islamophobia.

He has raised the plight of Muslims in Chechnya, Yemen and Kashmir and even said; “We stand with Palestine.”

But there’s not a word about the religious persecution of the 10million-strong Uighur (Muslim) population of China.
​
The reason is simple; money. They want the Bejing investment as do other Muslim countries and don’t want to rock the boat.

A couple of years back the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, comprising 57 of the world’s Muslim nations, even had the cheek to “commend the efforts of the People’s Republic of China in providing care to its Muslim citizens.”

Frankly that is rubbish. There are at least a million Chinese Muslims undergoing indoctrination sessions in forced labour camps.

Could I suggest Muslim politicians got off their knees and started attacking these oppressors and leave the liberal West alone.

Earl Spencer at 57 refused to go to his model daughter’s wedding to a bloke of 62.

Jim, a radio presenter from Glasgow saved a whopping £600 on his car insurance | GET A QUOTE NOW

Missing from what is described in the Daily Mail as the society wedding of the year was Earl Spencer, who came to public prominence as the brother of Princess Diana.

That becomes more surprising when it was his daughter Lady Kitty Spencer who was getting married.

But it becomes a damn sight more understandable when you find out the beau is 62 - and Earl Spencer is only 57.

Lady Kitty is just 30 years old and a model. Her new husband is the fashion tycoon Michael Lewis (he is said to be worth £80million) who owns Phase Eight and other retail chains.
​
People who know Lewis says he is the most charming of men and that must be the reason that Lady Kitty fell for him because the three decade age difference would put off most women.

It certainly must be the reason that Earl Spencer, who if I remember correctly made the most inappropriate attack on Prince Charles at the Diana funeral, decided to stay on the Althorp estate rather than going to Frascati in Italy for the big day.

Lewis’s three adult children from a previous marriage were there. Instead of being walked down the aisle by her dad it was her brothers Viscount Althorp and Samuel Aitken who did the decent thing.

Not every father approves of their children’s choice in love but to be honest it is them who have to live with their choice and not you.

Earl Spencer should have gone and put aside whatever family squabbles caused the problem. He has had a lot of luck in life-being a member of the lucky sperm club was the first one - and he should have extended the hand of love to his daughter.

It doesn’t say much for him.

BBC pay their diversity chief £267,000 a year for a three day week. That’s shocking. But she still makes another £250,000 doing more diverse work for Burberry and Rupert Murdoch.

7/25/2021

Richard Ford, a retired accountant from Exeter, saved £150 on car insurance | SAVE NOW

There’s good money for not much work in the diversity game. Ask June Sarpong.

It has just been disclosed that the BBC are paying her £265,000 for a three-day week to be the corporation’s diversity champion.

To put that in context the Prime Minister make £106,000 a year less than Miss Sarpong and when I last looked was working seven days a week.

By only working three days a week it leaves her time to be board member for Burberry where she deals with diverse issues (probably picks up another £100K) plus being hired by Rupert Murdoch’s HarperCollins where she runs their HQ Creative Inclusion Lab which publishes work by unknown writers from ethnic minorities disabled and poorer backgrounds. That must be worth another £150,000.

Throw in other corporate work plus the odd book and it’s raining diverse money in the Sarpong household.
​
Ms Sarpong, 44,  started in the diverse business having had a pretty average career as a television presenter.

In an interview recently she said; “I don’t for a single second say that all white people are privileged (that’s big of her!!) but there are benefits from a low income and you’re white. You are never judged on race.”

It’s  in  her commercial interest to say this as I reckon she is making over £500,000-a-year compared with being a Loose Women panellist where I doubt she made £25,000.

Ian Duncan Smith, the former Tory Prime Minister made a good point; “How can anyone be worth £275,000 for a three day week.

“Once again the BBC has scored an own goal. There must be thousands of well qualified people who would do this job for a lot less.”

The BBC appointed Ms Sarpong in 2019 to “achieve real change in increasing the number of ethnic and disabled minorities on screen.”

She was made an MBE in the most recent New Year’s Honours list for services to broadcasting.

Should have received the gong for services to her pay packet.

Ad agency JWT should fire gay creative director Jo Wallace for her sexist and racist attack on colleagues

Save ££££ on your energy bills | Get cheap quotes now

I don’t think the ad agency JWT will recover until they fire creative director Jo Wallace who made an ill-judged, stupid and possibly law breaking attack on straight (sexist), white (racist) British men.

Ms Wallace, a creative director, was appointed to help lose the firm its reputation as a “Knightsbridge boys’ club”.

So she held a diversity conference. Ms. Wallace, 44, introduced herself as a gay woman (why that is important is beyond me) and said her task was to “obliterate”  white, straight, privileged, British men.

Not unreasonably two middle-aged, white, British creative directors at the agency, Chas Brayfield and Dave Jenner, went to see some HR herbert about their future.

When Brayfield and Jenner expressed their concern about  the their jobs, senior execs thought they were against the diversity drive and two days later they were made redundant.
​
They didn’t go quietly. They went to lawyers and yesterday a judge agreed with them and said they were the victims of sex discrimination. They should get a big pay-out. I certainly hope so.

The agency says it’s appealing. They would do better to take it on the chin but get rid of Wallace who I see lives in some comfort with her partner in £1,250,000 house in East London.

I won’t be shedding a tear for her. 

I thought Brayfield, a 54-year-old married father from Cricklewood, North London, got it right when he said; “I remember feeling I had a target on my back. As a middle-aged white man, it felt as if my job was in danger.

“I remember thinking if I was a black 24-year-old woman I would be fine. If I had been gay even better.”

This is a sorry tale and might explain why so many of our TV ads are suddenly dominated by minorities whereas they only represent 3% of the population. There must be a lot of Jo Wallaces in adland. How awful.

Nigel Farage won Brexit for us. Now I want him to use his GB New show to lead the battle against the illegal Channel migrants.

7/24/2021

Marilyn Hill, from Kent, saved £70 on her car insurance | SEARCH FOR YOUR BEST CAR INSURANCE QUOTE NOW

In many ways Nigel Farage has been the most important politician since Thatcher. Boris helped but without Farage the Brexit vote would never would never have happened.

Now he has moved on from politics to be the lead presenter on GB News where he hosts an hour long show every night. And what a success he is.

He started his 7pm one hour how on Monday. His audience peaked at 96,000 while his opposite number, Dermot Murnaghan on Sky News, hit 74,000.

Tuesday was the same story. Farage 99,000, Murnaghan 63,000. Wednesday; Farage 83,000, Murnaghan 70,000. Thursday; Farage 78,000, Murnaghan 60,000.

The station has only been going a matter of weeks and already it’s stuffing Sky News which has been around for almost 30 years and cost its parent company £1billion.

But before Farage hangs up his political boots I wonder if I could prevail on him to lead one last battle. To force Boris and Priti to solve the invasion of illegal immigrants from across the Channel.

In an important piece of research by The Times this morning, the paper estimates that 22,000 of illegals  (yes 22,000, the size of a small UK town) will have landed on our shores by the year end.

And that’s not to mention the thousands who will arrive hidden in the back of lorries. This is serious.

​
And yet I get the impression that Boris views social care as more important. He is wrong and would have to break a manifesto pledge to increase tax or NI to achieve it. All the while more and more illegals end up in camps and hotels dotted around the country.

The nation will not stand for it. Farage should campaign big time on his show.

That would do two things. It would increase his ratings and therefore force Boris to listen. I am a big fan of Priti but unless she has the full support of the PM nothing of a substantial nature will get done.

I believe big time in the Rwanda solution where, in exchange for the money we currently give the hopeless French police, Rwanda will set up camp for the illegals.

Immediately these people discover they are heading to Africa rather than the land of milk and honey, the boats will no longer leave the harbour. Problem solved.

Rwanda will like the money and the UK will be able to sleep easier. What is there not to like?

New poll shows relations between black and white America the lowest in two decades.

Gary Rose, from Lincoln, saved over £00 on his family’s car insurance | GET A QUOTE NOW

When the polling company Gallup first began studying relations between black and white America in 2001 the outlook looked pretty harmonious.

Around 70% rated the relations positively. Two decades later that optimism has disappeared with the latest poll showing 57% believing they are “somewhat” or “very” bad.

Gallup surveyed 1,400 people across 50 states, including 275 blacks, 302 Hispanics and the rest white. The only good news is that black and white America were much more positive about relations with Hispanic which will be covered in a later report.

The poll was carried out last month coinciding with the sentencing of Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd and meaning the debate over racial justice was top of mind.

I agree with the conservative Washington Examiner who said that relations are likely to get worse with the teaching of the critical race theory - the reinterpretation of US history which regards the nation’s institutions and cultures as inherently racist.
​
A polling company over here should carry out such a poll. I think it would be slightly more optimistic but taking the knee has not been helpful.

How can the Croydon tram driver be asleep for 49 seconds and not face a charge

Kurt, a salesman from Surrey, saved £300 on his home insurance | Get cheap quotes now

To any sensible person the result of the investigation into why tram driver Alfred Dorris was doing 47mph on a 12mph bend simply doesn’t make sense.

The investigation into how seven passengers died and 50 others were hurt was carried out by Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) .

This is what they said about the role played by Dorris.
  • That Dorris had negotiated that bend 700 times over the previous two years.
  • That he had fallen asleep for 49 seconds, possibly linked to fatigue. Not sure I understand that as the crash happened at 6.10am and I presume he only just clocked on. Had he been up late the night before and if so why?
  • He woke up 2-3 seconds before the tram reached the curve. Why?
  • Their verdict; “The accident was probably caused during a period of low workload which possibly caused him to microsleep.”

​How is it that Dorris was both suffering from fatigue and low work load at the same time?

​

Further the investigators discovered there had been other speeding and heavy braking incidents at that bend but had not been reported by the drivers because they “ feared the consequences” and the “attitude of some managers”.

How thick are those tram drivers? They should have fessed up and should not have been speeding. Look at the consequences. And it is the manager’s job to take them to task.

I imagine they all belong to a union.

The coroner decided that the RAIB investigation was so complete they did not need to hear from Dorris. That was quite wrong.

The families were entitled to cross-examine the man whose mistakes-either falling asleep or negligence - had led to the deaths of their nearest and dearest.

They are demanding a fresh inquest. I do hope they get it.

I agree with the police watchdog. Let’s jail Zuckerberg and Co to stop tech showing child sex abuse.

Robert Grainger, from Colchester, saved £250 on his car insurance | GET A QUOTE NOW

I am a big fan of Sir Tom Winsor. Today he is the police watchdog but made his name as the rail regulator. He did the job for five years and for the first time took on the overpaid executives who have done so much to ruin my commute to work.

He held their feet to the fire and they hated it. Good.

Now he has turned his forensic mind on to tech companies and their failure to prevent their platforms being exploited by child sex abusers.
​
Correctly Sir Tom said that fining companies was not enough to ensure something would be done. After all if you are an executive you would simply look on the fines as a cost of sale. It’s what Google are doing right now with fines totalling billions that being handed to them by the EU  for their anti-competitive sales tricks.

His suggestion is that executives should go to jail “in the most egregious cases if the appropriate level of intent can be established - and that can include wilful neglect and negligence”.

He said; “I was a partner in a US law firm before I took this job and I can tell you senior executives really care if they could be standing in the dock.”

He says of the images; “We would never tolerate in any public display of those things in our streets or in our theatres or on our ordinary television screens so why do we tolerate them on our smartphones.”

Good point. The bosses of Google and Facebook claim they can’t stop the images turning up. Let’s see if by some tech miracle they can solve the problem before getting seven years in jail. I suspect they will.

How unemployable Dominic Cummings is making £50,000 a month out of his attacks on Boris.

There is a very good reason that Dominic Cummings makes more and more outrageous attacks on Prime Minister. It’s not revenge. It’s not hubris. It’s not madness.

It’s money.

Despite his friends begging the former senior adviser to Boris to pack in the abuse the lure of the pink crispies drives him on. Cummings has signed to Substack, a simple blogging site which is free, but where you can earn by making additional articles available for money.
​
And that is where he is making his fortune. After all no employer in their right mind would want a disloyal colleague like him on the payroll.

​
Cummings knows that every time he makes a fresh allegation against Boris he will receive massive publicity on TV and in the Press. Did you see his 30-minute interview with Laura Kuenssenberg on BBC1 the other night? In commercial terms it was worth millions. 

That in turn leads to people going on Substack to see what he has to say.  If they enjoy his musings they have the option to pay for more of his wild thoughts. He sets the price.

I imagine he will want £9.99 a month for his Substack thoughts and it’s  quite possible 5,000 punters will pay that.

So next time you read one of his more ridiculous outbursts - and I thought the fact he was planning a coup to topple Boris was a classic- just remember that another £50,000 (minus Substack’s take) will plop into his account.

Not bad for a bloke who is unemployable.

Hain is an idiot if he thought Horner’s attack on Hamilton for the crash allowed the “racists an excuse to let fly their evil”. A) They don’t need an excuse. B) Is he suggesting you can no long attack sportsmen of colour?

Anne Warrington, from Manchester, saved £300 on her energy bills | Compare and get cheap energy quotes now

I admire Peter Hain. He spoke with passion against apartheid in South Africa when it was easier and more politically safe to stay schtum.

Today as Lord Hain his ability to shape events is at an end  which I can only imagine is the reason that he has made a fool of himself by claiming that the reason racists attacked Lewis Hamilton after his crash with Max Verstappen was due to Red Bull boss Christian Horner “intemperate” language.

Horner, who is Verstappen’s boss, said; “it’s dangerous, it looked desperate and he put a competitor, thank goodness, uninjured, in hospital.

“Lewis has more than enough experience to know that this (putting his wheel inside in a corner) is unacceptable.”

Lewis received a 10 second penalty for his actions during the race which he went on to win.

Lord Hain is vice-chairman of the all-party Parliamentary group on Formula One.

He said; “Racists had an excuse to let fly their vitriol and evil at Lewis after what I thought was a very ill-judged intemperate and plain wrong attack on him Christian Horner.

I am not suggesting Horner was implying anything racist in what he said. He was talking in pure racing terms. Lewis has had to give way before when Max was being aggressive and I think lewis decided that this time he wasn’t going to bullied out of the way.

I hope it was something said in the heat of the moment when Christian was feeling aggrieved but these are moments when is required and not intemperate outbursts.”

That is ridiculous. In effect Hain is saying that you cannot criticise a sports person of colour involved in case the mad racists of the world join in. had there not been a crash he would have received the same amount of abuse.

Horner’s reaction was considered. Had my driver been forced off the track at 180mph with 51G of force and had spent six hours receiving medical treatment for a piece of driving I felt dangerous I would have been considerably more intemperate.

You were just looking for a headline Hain. Please think before you speak again.

Ben and Jerry’s are boycotting Israel’s West Bank saying it’s "inconsistent with our values.” But they are fine flogging their ice cream to China where a one party state and re-education camps for Muslims is consistent with their values. Sickenin

Kurt, a salesman from Surrey, saved £300 on his home insurance | Get cheap quotes now

The tasty but expensive ice cream Ben and Jerry’s is owned by the consumer goods giant Unilever, which also produces brands as diverse as Persil and Marmite.

The company has just announced to the justifiable fury of Israeli politicians that they will stop selling its ice cream -made in a factory in Israel - to the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem.

Why would a global business do such a thing? They have bowed at the knee to a nasty organisation called the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement which has been campaigning for years against all Israeli products because it doesn’t approve of the occupation of Palestinian territories or the annexation of East Jerusalem.

That is very high and mighty of the board. How come they refuse to serve one market because of political pressure but continue to serve another. Like China where democracy doesn’t exist -  you go to jail for advocating it - and where the Muslim (the Uyghurs) population are sent to “re-education camps”  where women are sterilised and some are used as forced labour.

The idiot press release from Unilever said; “ We believe it is inconsistent with our values for Ben and Jerry’s to be sold in the occupied Palestinian territory.”

Those same values, I presume, are available in China. I haven’t looked at other countries run by dictators but I suspect you can buy your Ben and Jerry’s there.

Like the rest of Israel’s neighbours in the Middle East. 

Israel is different from those Middle East countries. They are a democracy. Surely Unilever, quoted on the London Stock Exchange, should support such countries.

Instead they look the other way if it's China but give a victory to little Israel’s enemies. Sickening isn’t it.

Not sure how much Ben and Jerry’s is bought in the UK but I think we can do without it don’t you?

How did we get into a position where a French warship (yes, a French warship) ushered a boat full of illegal migrants into our waters. Boris, do something bold. The nation will be behind you.

An incredible scene in the Channel today. A French warship ushers 13 illegal migrants in a boat made for 7 into British waters and leave them with a Good Morning Britain TV news crew presumably thinking they were Border Force or more likely simply didn’t care.

That’s where we are now. The illegals don’t care. The French don’t care. The smugglers certainly don’t care. And everybody works on the assumption the UK is so bloody liberal we will continue to take on as many as the Middle East and Africa can throw at us.
​
We must disabuse everybody of that thought. For the migrants we must tell them that they will go to jail for a short period and then be shipped off to Rwanda where they will stay until we decide if their claim to be asylum seekers has any merit.

For the smugglers we must simply put the SAS into the EU coastline with or without the permission of the local governments as they appear unwilling or unable to do anything about this threat to our nation.

For Macron and the naval authorities we must point out that for human rights reason we may not be able to sink the ribs but we can certainly fire across their bows. Yes it would be a problem.

But would the problem be any worse than the one we are currently facing; literally thousands of illegals coming to our shores and an impotent nation wanting action. Macron and Co could not give a stuff. It’s a problem off their hands.
The anger will grow over the next week as I expect the number of illegals to grow.

 Boris, you haven’t covered yourself in glory over Covid these last few days do rescue yourself from angry voters.

Unbelievably prices of second-hand cars have risen 11.1% in a year.

Aaron from Windsor saved £200 on his car insurance | GET YOUR CHEAPEST CAR INSURANCE QUOTE NOW

This is unbelievable. The price of second-hand cars has increased from 11.1% in the past year to reach a record high of £14,276.

The study by the car sales website Auto Trader showed prices had risen every month since the pandemic when the first lockdown strangled the supply of new cars.

There is even a suggestion that second hand buyers are even in the gazumping game.
​
I think companies like Cinch and Heycar must take a lot of credit.

The idea that a dealer will have a big marketing campaign on national TV,  give you a guarantee and will take the car back  back after a couple of weeks if you don’t like it, gives the buyer a security they would never have felt before.

The biggest rise come in diesels which have gone up by 13.1%. The reason for this is that they took a terrible hammering early last year when it became clear they were climate unfriendly.

Thank God Guto Harri has gone from GB News. His job was to create an audience not damage it.

There will be no tears - possibly with the exception from his bank manager - at the forced exit of presenter Guto Harri from GB News.

When he decided to take the knee (and God only knows why the programme director didn’t stop him) he knew he was cutting his own throat.

There is no mainstream TV station which would allow its “talent” to take such an extreme political view. Huw Edwards couldn’t do it without fired from the BBC nor could Tom Bradby at ITV.

Harri must have worked out, unless he is dim or too self-involved (both possibilities), there would be repercussions from the audience.

When I last looked the job of a television employee was to increase the ratings not damage them. Although Jon Snow and colleagues at C4 News don’t seem to have received that email.

And damage the audience he certainly did. The ratings, which had been healthy for a start-up in a crowded market, collapsed.
​
As did Guto Harri’s career. Who on earth would hire Harri now?

Harri is a proud Welshman and he might find work there although he would be the first person I have ever heard of to return to the Principality looking for employment.

My bet is that Nigel Farage’s show starting tonight will be a winner. He is receiving astonishing ratings when doing a 6pm show on LBC. In radio audience collapses at 6pm as people are eating, travelling or turning on the telly.

Unbelievably LBC’s went up. So what did they do? They fired him. Why? You tell me.

Anyway their loss is GB News gain. I wish them well and I will be turning on for the Farage show.

The house (a whopping 10,000 sq. foot) has the lot. Seven bedrooms, seven acres of land, swimming pool, indoor gym and separate self-contained annex.

He has lived at Middlecot Manor for seven years but he and his partner Jonathan, 36, are moving to be closer to his family in Leicestershire.

Boris, turn off that bloody covid app before the country grinds to a halt

​

The pingdemic is ludicrous and I fear Boris will lose the benefit of his vaccine bounce unless he does something quickly- like scrapping the app. What is the point of being double jabbed but get pinged, the test turns out negative but still you must stay at home for days on end. Quite ridiculous.

The whole country will be staying at home at this rate. Here are a couple anecdotes I happen know about.

  1. Last week the Rector of St Andrews in Boughton, Northants and his wife ( they have both been double jabbed) were pinged. They went for a test.  It was negative but under the 10-day rule he was forced to stay at home and left the Sunday didn’t service and left it to a parishioner.
  2. Some friends were double jabbed. They do look as they have covid and are now  sweating on a holiday in Spain in just over two weeks.

So if all the double jabbers are being pinged its only a matter of time before the country will grind to a halt.

I was in M&S this morning and I’m not sure if it was simply a Sunday morning rush for barbecue food or a gloomy warning about shortages by the store’s CEO but the shelves looked remarkably thin.

Already the Metropolitan Tube line is not working as the staff are all claiming pingdemic and just watch your hospital scrapping ops galore as doctors and nurses call in.

This is very serious and unexpected. We are looking to you Prime Minister to solve this issue. Pronto

How the Muslim madmen of the Taliban are plunging women back into the dark ages. Girls can’t go to school or uni. Women can’t leave home without burqas or without male companions. Why are our feminists so quiet on this issue.

Sometimes the oppression of women in Muslim states makes you weep. For the last 20 years there has been hope in Afghanistan. Although deeply conservative the lot of girls and women had improved thanks to the protection that British and US forces gave them.

Now they are gone and the madman of the Taliban are rapidly regaining a grip.
​
In each territory they take over the Taliban insist that the following happens;
  • Girls are banned from school and university.
  • Teenage girls are forced to marry Taliban fighters.
  • Women must wear burkhas if they leave home.
  • Women can only leave home if escorted by a male companion.

Girls had accounted for 3.8million of the 9million schoolchildren. Almost 100,000 of its 300,000 university students were women.

Women make up 28% of Parliament and in 2019 women reached 22% of the workforce. Not much but higher than Jordan. All this progress will now end with these madmen in charge.

Already hundreds of women in prominent positions have been murdered by Taliban killer squads.

There’s not a word from feminist organisations in this country speaking up for the women of Afghanistan . Could it be that they prefer to turn a blind eye to the oppression of women rather than being seen to attack Muslims. Please say.

Nailed at last; The company which ripped off the NHS by raising the price of a life-saving drug from 70p to £88 a packet.

7/16/2021

Andy Burgess, from Norwich, saved £100 on his car insurance | SAVE ON YOUR CAR INSURANCE NOW

Brother and sister Amit and Meeta Patel are a couple of clever tossers.

They ran a drugs company and worked out that they could make millions out of the NHS if they dropped the existing brand name of hydrocortisone and started selling it as generic since NHS rules meant it was no longer subject to a profits cap.

As there was no competition - potential rivals were paid to keep out of the market- they increased the price of the drug from 70p to £88 a packet. That’s a rise of 12,500%.

The drug treats adrenalin insufficiency including life threatening conditions like Addison’s Disease. In 2015 after seven years of trousering a fortune they sold out for £306million.  

Then The Times newspaper began investigating and yesterday Auden Mckenzie and another drugs business was fined £221million by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA).

​

Neither Amit or his sister were named in the CMA report but last year he was banned from holding any management role in a British company for five years after admitting colluding to increase the price the NHS paid for other drugs.

It has also emerged that in 2017 he admitted tax fraud to settle a case with HMRC over fake invoice Auden Mckenzie issued to companies in Dubai.

He has described the tax fraud as “an error of judgment.” Do me a favour.

There has been a change in the law giving the government powers to intervene when it believes drug prices are excessively high. The price of the NHS pays for hydrocortisone is now about £3.

What surprises me is that they have not faced a criminal investigation as well as a top  a commercial one. Very puzzling.

Angry Bangladeshi parents force headteacher Karen Ford into early retirement after 23 years. Shocking. We need more Ms Fords not less.

Really sad to report long-serving headteacher Karen Ford is to take early retirement from her primary school after Bangladeshi parents complained a note she sent blamed them for a rise in Covid cases.

The Bangladeshi community wanted Karen Ford to go after 23 years at Richard Avenue Primary School, Sunderland, when her note made a number of points aimed at the parents.
  1. They were attending wedding ceremonies at their home.
  2. They were hosting Mehndi nights “against the law.”
  3. They were working as taxi drivers or in restaurants while waiting for Covid-19 tests.

​In her note Ms Ford said she felt “totally let down” by those in the “Bangladesh community”.

​

Bangladeshis were angry at what they saw as being “singled out” and stereotyped as rule breakers. They went on Facebook and protested to the local authority.

Ms Ford apologised but hadn’t been seen at the school for five months until May but now two months later she has said it is with a “heavy heart” she has decided to take early retirement.

I particularly liked one paragraph in her note; “Most importantly I will miss the children…their kindness, their humour and their innocence. I will, from the bottom of my heart, truly miss them.”

That was said by a woman who really cares. About her kids and her community.

The parents may have triumphed but the school will be poorer for her going. We need more Ms Fords not less.
