Is A Christmas nightmare looming or is it just scare mongering to get us to buy early?

There was a headline in The Times that caught my eye and filled me with alarm. It read; Prepare for a nightmare Christmas.

Since it’s only September 30 how could anybody know? Who was making this prediction? Mystic Meg?

Actually it is somebody we should be taking note of. The warning comes from Clive Black, a Phd working for the brokers Shore Capital whose job it is to advise clients on where to spend their money in the retail industry.

So I back his judgment because if you start telling people where to put their hard-earned money and you get it consistently wrong you won’t be in his kind of job for very long.

And this is what he says and this is who he blames.

Firstly he says it’s nothing to do with Brexit but all to do with mismanagement.

He blames the civil service for some of the problems.

​
‘’It’s not just the politicians but their permanent secretaries. David Kennedy (the Director General for food) has been a disgrace,’’ said Black.

Permanent secretaries in the Home Office are a disgrace as well. What the hell have they been advising ministers?’’

He expects Christmas to be a nightmare with a shortage of toys, bikes, sofas and electronic goods and the possibility that nut roasts rather than turkeys will be on the table.

Were this to happen Boris would take a pounding in the polls. To my mind he is not working hard enough at the moment.

What got him in No.10 will not keep him in No.10. The Brexit effect will vanish and competence will be the issue.

That is not a strong suit for him.

It will cost us £1.6million to keep Sarah’s killer in jail. Save the money and bring back the death penalty

They were haunting words. Beautifully written. From the heart. From the soul. From the brain. The victim impact statement by Susan Everard, mother of Sarah Everard, cannot be read without a wave of emotion enveloping you.

There were lots of phrases that hit home. The one that struck me was; ‘’She spent her last hours on this earth with the worst of humanity.’’

Another said; ‘’ We have kept her dressing gown. It smells of her and I hug that instead of her.’’

So what is to be done with Wayne Couzens, a revolting piece of humanity who used his position and uniform, to take Sarah of the streets of London and murder her.

I have always been in favour of the death penalty and there surely could not be a more perfect case for the state-sponsored death than Couzens.

Why should he allowed to spend the rest of his life in a warm and secure cell with three-meals a day while the Everard family are tortured every day at their loss.

​
Couzens is 48 and could reasonably be expected to live for another 40 years. The latest estimates I have seen is that average annual cost of looking after a prisoner is £41,000.

So just keeping that piece of filth fed and watered for the rest of his life will be, at today’s rates, £1.6million.

Frankly I don’t want to spend 50p on him.

The main objection to the death penalty is the possibility of injustice. I agree that saying oops we got that one wrong is clearly a risk and therefore only those killers that the courts were 100% convinced were responsible should be considered.

Further I would give the final nod to the families. After all they have to live with the pain. If my daughter were murdered like Sarah Everard I wouldn’t spend one second pondering the rights and wrongs.

I would signal my belief that the killer should die.

We should sack the idiot JP who didn’t jail motorist with three drink-driving convictions.

Why on earth is drunken thicko Grant Wagster not in jail?

He already had two convictions for drink-driving when at 7.30 in the morning he flipped his motorhome, a Peugeot Boxer 330, hitting a BMW and blocking two of the three lanes on the M60 between junctions 14 and 13 for several hours.

Wagster a 35-year-old tree surgeon, was then discovered, surprise surprise, to be three times over the limit.

His explanation for his drunkenness was that he had overdone his partying while away with a friend in Morecambe. 

​Absurdly he was not jailed with the idiot magistrate, known only as Mr Fry, saying; ‘’ You have come within a cigarette paper width of going to jail.’’

What does it take to put a danger like Wagster off the roads?

In 1999 he was banned for three years for drink-driving and he got another three year disqualification in 2009 for a second excess alcohol offence.

So in 22 years he has been done three times for being over the limit. What more evidence does that stupid magistrate require? We need to be protected and he needs to understand there is a price for drinking and driving.

A ridiculous defence was put forward by his lawyer Isobel Thomas.

She said he accepted the consequences of the accident could have been ‘’much worse.’’ Really? How insightful.
​
Further, she said, he had been married for 12 years ( what had that to do with it?) but had a difficult time over the death of his mother three years ago. Many of us had mums who had died recently but we don’t go round driving motorhomes while blind drunk.

He was given a 12 month community order and will be the subject of an alcohol abstinence monitoring programme for 120 days.

He was also ordered to complete 150 hours unpaid work and was disqualified from driving for 28 months.

Why only 28 months? Why not 60 months? This is man is a danger to us and he has no rights to be on the road. And that magistrate should be kicked off the bench. If anything he is more stupid than the driver.

Andrew’s only hope; Show the world your protection officer’s logs to prove where you were

It is quite clear Prince Andrew is up a Balmoral creek without a paddle.

Either through poor legal advice or his own stupidity he has managed to persuade any intelligent person that his silence means he is as guilty as sin.

But there is one easy way to prove that Virginia Guiffre is not telling the truth when she alleges he engaged in sex without her consent as she was a minor. All he has to do is to reveal the royal protection logs.

The officers are with him at all times and if the records were disclosed hopefully for Andrew it would prove he wasn’t at the at the places and the times Ms Guiffre claims.

Of course Andrew may have already seen those logs and it may be that they do not support his position in which case he is done for.

​
But by keeping schtum he is in a world of pain anyway. Come November the Ghislaine Maxwell case begins where she is accused of pimping girls like Ms Guiffre for the disgraced Jeffrey Epstein.

Maxwell could get 20 years and Ms Guiffre will be giving evidence. Without doubt Andrew’s name will be mentioned and he will have no chance of responding to allegations which will whistle round the world.

So he might as well get his retaliation in first. I suspect he will come out fighting any week now.

Let’s hope he shows more IQ that he in that car crash of an interview with Emily Matliss. Anybody who thought he was innocent before didn’t think so afterwards.

BBC boss gets £75K rise (16.6%) to £525K. Time to dump the licence fee and adopt a Netflix model.

It’s hard to tell if the BBC have clangers thrust upon them or they invent them to keep social media busy.

Take their latest bizarre and quite wrong decision to give their Director General Tim Davie a £75,000-a-year pay rise. He was hardly skint before, making a handy £450,000 enough you would have thought to keep him in those trendy white trainers he likes wearing at public dos.

The rise of 16.6% is our money. It’s not as though he has come up with some great idea to reduce the £157.50.

In fact the very reverse. The BBC spend their entire lives pleading with the government for more money (our money) to increase the size of their empire.

Why doesn’t the government tie his pay to reducing the size of the licence. I suspect all the over 75s would agree with me on that idea as from the end of July for the first time they had to cough up.

​
So the politics of this rise are appalling. The reality is that ordinary people are happy to pay for what they want (Netflix, Amazon Prime, Sky) but do not want to be forced for fear of jail to pay for stuff they seldom watch.

The time has come to scrap the licence fee and replace it a subscription model. The BBC’s current income is way over £3bllion but I suspect subscription would bring in much more.

That way Mr Davie could earn as much as he likes without there being a row every time.

It’s time to dump the licence fee.

How Avro Energy went bust but son and dad still sent £830,000 to a building firm they owned

I think the son and father team which ran Avro Energy owe an explanation to their 580,000 customers about the way they ran their business.

Avro went bust this week leaving their customers facing an increase of £400 in their bills but an analysis of their accounts shows some murky dealings.

Thanks to some good work by the Times we discover that Avro - owned by Jake Brown 27, and his father Andrew, 57 provided an unsecured interest-free loan of £830,000 to Berkley Swiss Ltd., a construction company they owned. Handily the registered office was the same as theirs in the Eliot Business Park in Nuneaton.

There was also a £2.25million management charge for an advertising agency called Sendito Marketing. That is also owned by the Browns and happily for them is registered at the same address.

Finally there are further loans totalling £163,656 to the pair recorded in the latest accounts.

Avro was set up by Jake Brown, a former non-league footballer, back in 2014 while studying law at Birmingham University. His father later joined him. He didn’t invest any of his own money in the company which was financed by the advanced fee paid by customers.

The company expanded quickly by offering families cheaper electricity and gas. Its turnover soared from £80million in 2017 to £390million in the 18 months to June 19. But instead of becoming more profitable it went from making a small profit to losing £28million.

Avro claimed in its accounts that they had a hedging strategy - a form of insurance - to cope with rises in gas prices. That clearly was not true or they had not hedged their entire position.

According to the Times visitors to the Brown’s detached family home in Sketchley, Leicestershire, were told he was ‘’not there’’.

And if I were Mr Brown I would not be there for some time to come.

The Brown family may have thought they were being very clever for milking cash from Avro to send to their other businesses but they should pay a price in the court of public opinion.

Too many inarticulate black people in politics, says Equalities Minister Kemi

I didn’t know much about Kemi Badenoch. All I knew was that she was a rising star in the Conservative Party as Equalities Minister and born in London to Nigerian parents.

Having just read her leaked Whatsapp messages in The Times I feel the Tories have a real winner in Ms Badenoch.
Take this message; ‘’The problem is there are too many inarticulate black people given front and centre stage.

‘’Look at Diane Abbott, practically the only black woman you see discussing politics, and see how she disgraced herself not knowing her brief. That kinda stuff is sooo bad for us.’’

​
The messages were posted in a group chat called Conservative Friends of Nigeria.

In her texts Badenoch, 41, explained her apathy towards imperial history claiming that Africans lacked basic rights when European colonisation began.

She says; ‘’I don’t care about colonialism because I know what we were doing before colonialism got there. They came in and just made a different bunch of winners and losers.

‘’There was never any concept of ‘rights’ so the people who lost out were old elites and not everyday people.’’

All sensible stuff. The Left will hate it. That makes her a hero in my eyes.

I agree with Rayner (wash my mouth out) that Raab and Truss battle over Chevening is dreadful

​
It’s not often I agree with class warrior Angela Rayner (and if Starmer does want to win the centre ground he will have to dump her) but watching Dominic Raab and Liz Truss slugging it out over Chevening is an unedifying sight.

To entertain foreign dignitaries, the foreign secretary has traditionally had the use of the 3,000-acre 17th century mansion near Sevenoaks, Kent.

But things have turned tricky since Raab was fired as foreign secretary and replaced by Truss. Not satisfied with his new role as Justice Minister he persuaded Boris to give him the title of Deputy Prime Minister.

​
And with that title Raab felt emboldened to demand that he could continue to use 115-room Chevening.

Truss let it be known - i.e. she told a journalist - that Raab was being ‘’ridiculous’’ for ‘’clinging on’’.

I agree. Further I wonder if Raab shouldn’t be spending more time in his constituency of Esher, Surrey, rather than worrying about high office. In 2019, despite the huge Brexit swing, the always-blue constituency almost threw him out.
It’s this kind of frippery - Boris’s expression not mine - that can damage a government long-term. The PM should tell Raab to get back in his box .

Eating cheese is not bad for you and you can be fat and fit. Who knew?

I have been on a diet for four decades and have put on 30lbs in that time. There is no diet I haven’t tried and there is no diet I haven’t failed on.

I have read them all but there are two facts I have swallowed whole from the doctors and dieticians. 1) Eating cheese is bad for you. 2) You can’t be fit and fat.

Both of them have now turned out to be untrue.

For 16 years researchers followed 4,000 Swedish adults and used blood samples to judge how much dairy was in their diets.

They wanted to discover how many on average had strokes, heart attacks or other serious circulatory events and how many died.

After adjusting for age, lifestyle, and other diseases they discovered cardiovascular disease was lowest for people with high levels of dairy in their blood reflecting high intake of fatty fats.

​

The researchers also analyse 17 similar studies from other countries and these confirmed their conclusions.

Great news for mature cheddar and mature adults like me who have spent their entire lives going easy on the cheese.
But it was the findings of Glenn Gaesser, a professor at Arizona State University and an associate professor from the University of Virginia that most shocked me.

Effectively it said that you can be fat not fit and if you want to live longer with a better life you would do better to concentrate on exercise rather than dieting.

The study suggested that yo yo dieting was bad for you and claimed that many obesity related health conditions are more likely attributable to low physical activity rather than just being large.

Crime chief hid supermarket theft from voters for £85K job. He should quit

If you read the election material Steve Turner distributed five months ago to voters in Cleveland you would discover that he came from the area, was a fine basketball player and had three sons.

Clearly that worked at the ballot box as he was elected by a handsome majority as police and crime commissioner.

It pays a healthy £85,000-a-year for what is in effect a part-time job.

What Mr Turner, a Conservative candidate, didn’t disclose may well have had an effect on whether the good people of Cleveland thought him the right man for the job.

Unhelpfully the local Labour MP Andy McDonald said under the cloak of Parliamentary privilege back in the late 1990s that Turner was sacked for ‘’systematic theft’’ and therefore should resign immediately.

Having been rumbled Mr Turner decided to come clean and said that back in the late 1990s he accepted a police caution for theft at the supermarket where he worked and then voluntarily resigned.  He didn’t disclose what he was up to or how much he had stolen.

​
He described what happened as a ‘’challenging life lesson’’ and said it had remained private over the years so ‘’as not to impact on my family and friends.’’

He claimed the incident did not disbar him from the role, adding that ‘’the insight it provided me on how people can make stupid mistakes informs the way I operate at the PCC.’’

I might agree with Mr Turner if he were being paid out of the public purse for any other state job but one which specifically deals with crime makes me uneasy.

And he knows that because if he felt it would not affect the voters view of him why didn’t he mention it among all the glowing aspects of his CV.

There is a good reason. The voters might not vote for him.

How the Chief Constable of Cleveland will view Mr Turner’s advice would be quite interesting. Basically his job has become impossible. Think you should stand down Mr Turner.

Why I would bring back the death penalty for the sleepover killer. Ridding vermin is God’s work

​I have always been in favour of the death penalty. The last survey on the subject showed that 48% were with me for ‘’some crimes’’.

I would have thought the murders of three children during a sleepover would have come within the ‘’some crimes’’ category.

The father of two of the victims, Paul Bennett,13 and Lacey, 11, has made his position clear.

In the early hours of yesterday - some 48 hours after their lifeless bodies were discovered in a semi in Killamarsh, Derbyshire - Jason Bennett shared a Facebook post calling for a return of the death penalty.

Those with decent memories will remember the punishment was last used in 1964 and was finally taken off the statue book in 1968.

The post by Jason, a Royal Mail worker, read; ’’Bring back the death penalty anybody else have enough balls to post."
Can somebody explain to me why the killer should not die. Under the present system the multiple murderer - he killed the mother and Lacey’s best friend as well - will probably be jailed for 40 years.

The police have arrested a 31-year-old man known to the family. For the sake of this article let us imagine that he is the guilty party.

I imagine his QC will tell the court about his tough upbringing and his mental health challenges etc. All vomit-making stuff.

Having heard all this guff the oh so liberal judge will then decide that for the next four decades he will have a secure, warm environment where he will receive three hot meals a day.

Why should he be entitled to such security (and at such enormous expense) having robbed children of their lives and their dad of his future.

What is the argument for keeping him alive? A vague notion that it diminishes us by becoming killers ourselves.

I think we grow in stature by knowing that by ridding the world of this vermin we are doing God’s work.

Hero police dog who clung on when hit with machete. Wish the attacker was treated the same way in court

A police dog who clung on to a suspect even though it had been struck 20 times with a machete has been given a bravery award.

PC Paul Hopley and the his dog Stark (a cross between a German shepherd and a Belgian Malinois), were called to allotments in the Handsworth areas of Birmingham at 4am last November after reports of someone behaving suspiciously.

Footage recorded on Hopley’s body camera captures him saying; ’’Find them, Stark.’’

The officer is then heard shouting;’’ Police, stay where you are.’’

The suspect then starts running away. Hopley can be heard urging the suspect to stop hitting the dog thinking he was using a stick to strike Sark. The implement turned out to be a machete which was used to cut the dog, causing serious injuries.

Despite the wounds Stark kept a firm grip on the suspect and Hopley used an incapacity spray to prevent him escaping.

​
Hopley said;’’ Stark was hit over 20 times but he didn’t yelp, he didn’t leave him or run back to me for protection.

‘’He was such a young and inexperienced dog but he stayed on task and despite being viciously attacked he never backed down.’’

Despite nasty cuts to his face, with one blow narrowly missing the eye he has made a full recovery and his career is flourishing.

Stark received a bravery award at the Thin Blue Paw awards last week and has now completed training to become a firearms support dog.

I don’t know what the machete attacker got when he finally appeared in court, probably £320 out of the poor box and a three month suspended sentence, but I know many of you would like to have seen him given the same beating he gave Stark. I certainly would.

Disgraceful BBC finally say sorry to a mother for losing murdered girl’s clothes 30 years ago

I can’t imagine the nightmare of Michelle Hadaway’s life. Back in 1986 her world changed forever when her daughter Karen and her friend Nicola, both aged nine, were sexually assaulted and strangled in Brighton in what became known as the Babes in the Wood murders.

A year later their killer Russell Bishop was found not guilty of their murder. Then in 1991 Martin Bashir, the disgraced BBC journalist, came into her life.

The BBC were making a documentary for the BBC2 programme Public Eye about the murders and the acquittal of Bishop.

Bashir told Ms Hadaway that he if she handed over the clothes that her daughter was wearing when attacked he would have them tested presumably to see if there was any sign of Bishop’s DNA.

That documentary was never aired and the clothes were never returned. Her 30 years of pleas to the BBC went unanswered.

When Sussex police opened a cold case review and requested the return of the evidence in 2004 Bashir reportedly claimed he had no idea where the clothes were and had no recollection of ever meeting the family.

Thanks to new evidence unearthed by the police Bishop was found guilty of the murders and will serve a minimum of 36 years in prison.

​
But there is still no sign of Karen’s clothes. The BBC has acted despicably in this case. Clearly they could not give a stuff about the clothes even though they knew how much they would have meant to the mother.

Thanks to pressure brought to bear on the BBC by the Mail on Sunday they now claim they are conducting a review o the case. After 30 years? Big deal.

They are also apologising. ‘’The BBC is extremely sorry for the distress this has caused to Ms Hadaway,’’ a spokesman for the BBC said.

‘’We deeply regret we have not been able to give her any answers about what happened. We are appalled that this clothing was lost after being obtained as part of an investigation for a BBC programme.’’

Do they really believe that or are they just saying it because a newspaper has shone a light on their disgraceful behaviour and that of one of their employees.

I don’t believe a word they and the sooner they make a substantial payment to Ms Hadaway for the grief she has suffered the better.

Gas and electric prices surge. We are even short of wind even though Andrew Neil is doing his bit

The price of gas and electric will, I’m afraid, go off the dial over the next six months.

Already the regulator has given the go-ahead to a 14% rise but the ‘’experts’’ (and please save me from the experts) think it’s going to be a lot worse than that.

You do have to wonder at the grey matter behind some of these energy businesses. A few weeks back I receive an email from my supplier, EDF, telling me that they have worked out that my standing order will have to rise by 30% to cope with the price hikes.

I was astonished at the price hike and began contesting it. There followed literally dozens of calls and emails between me and EDF. I supplied loads of readings when asked. Always a pain.

Finally a rather nice lady called Monique clearly WFH – and probably the Loire Valley from the mobile reception -   came up wit a new set of numbers.

Rather than standing order going up by 30% it was going down by 25% and actually I had been paying far too much for months on end and they were sending me a £700 rebate. Incredible.

It made me wonder if I didn’t have my consumer-facing price comparison site A Spokesman Said behind me would I have just agreed to the original demand for a change in debit.

Had I done so EDF would have piled up a load of money in their account and at some stage after a lot of shouting it would have come back to me. My bet is that process would have taken a year. Quite wrong.

Why I suggest you go a price comparison site is that there is, according to the Times at least, a perfect storm brewing in relation to energy price rises.

First of all there is a global shortage of gas as everybody wants the stuff as the pandemic retreats. Secondly the UK doesn’t have much storage. Thirdly, and you won’t believe this, there has been a lack of wind lately meaning the wind farms aren’t as productive. Clearly you hadn’t seen Andrew Neil on Question Time last night. He was full of the stuff.

Why the deaths of anti-vaxxer mum and daughter made me back suspending on no pay those without jabs

In Italy they have decided to make covid passports compulsory with the unvaccinated suspended without pay until they obtain one.

I thought that a tad tough until I read the tragic story of a mother and daughter, both ardent anti-vaxxers, who died in hospital eleven days apart from covid.

The victims were Heather Maddern, 55, and daughter Sammie-Jo Forde, 32. They were both care workers in Belfast operating in people’s homes.

You would have thought that since they were meeting the frail and elderly they would have had the jab. But no.

The mother was in fact caught up in the conspiracy world. She shared videos from US conservative commentator Candace Owens on what to do if your employer threatens you with the sack if you do not have the jab.

​
Now both are dead with all the grief that leaves behind with Sammie’s father saying it will ‘’haunt me for the rest of my life’’ his daughter did not take the vaccine.

You see this is not just about you. You could play fast and loose with your own life but is it fair to leave your family in tears.

By law care homes will soon not  be able to employ anybody not double jabbed. I am wholly in favour even if it means they have reduce the number of beds.

Everybody seems to have very short memories. More than 30,000 of the covid deaths were due to the elderly passing on in care and nursing homes.  A shocking number and yes they may well have died pretty soon from something else or their underlying condition may have hurried the covid through them but the plain fact is that a GP, who we trust in every aspect of our medical lives, put that reason on their death certificate.

With so many anti-vaxxers out there threatening us all it may well be we go down the Italy route. I am not against it.

Shamima’s cunning PR war has failed. So pleased.

Shamima Begum is nothing but cunning. When giving her first interview a couple of years back she dressed in a burka and showed few regrets about her life under ISIS, few regrets about the atrocities performed by they performed and no real regrets at the Manchester Arena bombing.  

As she might have expected the British public hated her even more than when she set off to Syria aged 15. So yesterday she was back on television, but this time with a new look and a new story.

The Islamic dress had gone and it was replaced by painted pink nails, make-up, a Nike baseball cap, a grey vest and  a Casio watch. All very western.

And there was a new story. She hated herself for going. And, she said, nobody could hate her more than she hates herself. That is definitely not true. But in a strange phrase she said there was ‘’no evidence’’ that she was a key figure in preparing terrorist acts.  The expression ‘’no evidence’’ is different from saying she didn’t do it.

What is incredible is that the government were not going to allow her to get away with that. Step forward ex-Home Secretary Sajid Javid who went on television to say the following;

‘’ I won’t go into details of the case but what I will say is that you certainly haven’t seen what I saw.

‘’If you did know what I knew you would have made exactly the same decision. The decision is both morally right, absolutely right, but also legally correct.’’

So, with a bit of luck, that is the end of that. Shamima won’t be coming back here and nor can she go to Bangladesh where her parents were born before moving to the UK.

That means she will be spending the rest of her life in a Syrian refugee camp. Excellent news and perhaps a warning to others.

I’m confident Dorries will cut the BBC’s £159 licence fee

There may be duds in the Boris shuffle but Nadine Dorries is not one of them. She genuinely dislikes the BBC output for decades and has said so. This is what she has tweeted in the past about British Bloated Corporation. ‘’It is a biased left-wing organisation which favours hypocritical and often patronising views that turn people away.’’

And on the important subject of the licence fee she has said; ‘’Such a structure and aggressive persecution would be more in keeping in a Soviet-style country.’’

Great stuff and in her new job as Culture Secretary will be markedly different from predecessor Oliver Dowden who had his arms wrapped round him by civil servants and BBC execs.

Ms Dorries, a mother of three and a former nurse, can be the first holder at DCMS to actually reduce the licence fee. Currently it’s £159 and BBC time-servers with an eye on the honeypot believe it should keep up with inflation. On that basis it will be £200 before you know it.

The idea of cutting the fee and putting money back into ordinary people’s pockets will be a polling triumph. The middle classes with their £2million homes in Islington (yes that’s you Starmer) won’t like it but they don’t decide elections.

What needs to be cut at the BBC? Gary Lineker’s £1.4m salary should be the first line to go. It is a lightning conductor for all that is wrong with the BBC.

Then get rid of the BBC3 and 4. Then flog the thousands of radio stations they have accumulated plus their enormous spending in the online world.

The BBC have simply gone bloody mad on our money. Whereas production staff are a handful in the commercial world the BBC have a spare for every job. It is quite wrong.

I really feel confident about the future with Nadine running the show. Please don’t let me down.

Let the mob glue their hands to the M25 and then open the m-way. Problem solved

If you wonder how on earth the climate change mob can disrupt at will the M25, the busiest road in Europe, can I take you back to the end of June when the ‘’brainboxes’’ running our justice system handed down their thoughts.

The Supreme Court decided in an obscure case that it was right to acquit a group of protestors who blockaded an arms fair back in 2017.

The land’s most senior judges said that protesting could constitute a ‘’lawful excuse’’ for obstructing the highway, even if disruptive.

That decision has led to families unable to drop their children at school and workers unable to deliver or reach their firms.

Today there were sit-downs by the climate anarchists on the M25, A3, Dartford Crossing and A10 in Hertfordshire.

​
For hours police officers sitting around with their hands in their pockets as these professional idiots caused chaos.

Mailonline quotes one female officer saying to protestors; ’’If any of you have any questions, or are in any discomfort, just let us know.’’

Another video showed an officer saying; ’’I’m going to have to ask you to move.’’ It had the effect you would have expected. Nobody moved.

One group at the junction of 1b near the Dartford Crossing glued their hands to the tarmac. I suggest we leave them there but open up the motorway without warning.

One Tory MP had a good point; ’’They cannot be allowed to hijack the conversation by threatening to destroy the livelihoods if they don’t get their own way.

‘’If they have a grievance they should take it up with their MP in the lawful, peaceful way.’’

No matter how down-to-earth Emma Raducanu is how is it possible that her head will not be turned by the red carpet that is rolled out everywhere she goes.

Although she doesn’t drink she celebrated her victory with Tim Henman and her team into the early hours on Monday morning at her hotel.

After a few hours sleep it was up and off to the sofas of America’s two biggest TV breakfast show, Good Morning America and The Today Show. Her smile and accent wowed the presenters. Then she spent the day doing photo-shoots for her main sponsor Nike.

Last night she went up a step by being invited to New York’s Met Gala, the prestigious fashion event hosted by Vogue’s Dame Anna Wintour.

She was alongside some of the world’s biggest stars including Jennifer Lopez, Megan Fox, Kendall Jenner and Kim Kardashian.

​
For those that are interested in these things she wore a Chanel handkerchief skirt paired with a camisole and oversized shirt in a matching floral print. According to the fashionistas it stole the show.

She may well fly home today or tomorrow where waiting for her is an invitation to the premier of the James Bond film No Time to Die. Not to mention both Graham Norton and The Jonathan Ross producers salivating at the thought of her coming on.

I think we all forget that Emma is still only 18 and only half an hour ago she was taking her A-levels.

I’m sure her Wimbledon panic attack was a one-off but surely she must be protected from all this hoopla. Time for a night in with mum and dad I think.

How brave Linda won 5-year battle over a £1 parking ticket she couldn’t pay as the machine was broken

My heroine for today is a lady called Linda Edwards. My villain, the management at Excel Parking Services.

Linda’s story started five years ago when she left her Range Rover in the Bury New Road, Manchester, car park.

When she tried to pay the £1 parking fee she couldn’t because it was broken. So she rang the tossers at Excel to report the fault and was told someone would come and repair it.

Linda, an artist who lives in Saddleworth, Oldham, returned to the car after dining with her mother and found an employee issuing her with £100 parking fee.

And so started a lengthy legal battle during which she suffered three bereavements including that of her mother.

First, she was told she would be fined just £60 if she settled in 14 days. However when she appealed and sent a cheque for £1 to cover the cost of the original two-hour ticket,  it was denied.

Next her fine was increased to £100 before several letters were sent increasing the fine to £250.

The matter was then passed on a debt collection company in November 2017 and Linda was then told earlier this that they would settle for £272. She told them to get stuffed.

​
Finally she ended up in Manchester county court where the disgusting Excel company wanted £458.75 which included the fine, interest and legal fees.

The court correctly threw out the Excel case but it had taken years to get there.

Linda, 58 said after winning the case; ’’When it was nearing the court date I was having sleepless nights and doubts about it.

‘’At times I was brought to tears over it as they wouldn’t give up. But I don’t like to be taken advantage of. I kept reminding myself that justice has to be done.’’

Even allowing for the fact that they had been defeated by Linda, the dim spokesman for Excel continued to peddle their view that there had been a ‘’clear breach of the terms and conditions.’’

It is cases like this that give these car parking companies a bad name. The management at Excel should hang their heads in shame.

Why aren’t UK Muslims coming out fighting for the downtrodden women of Afghanistan?

Is it too much to ask the various Muslim organisations in the UK to use their political muscle (after all there are over 3million now) and start demanding freedoms for the women of Afghanistan.

The medieval mobsters running the joint have now ruled that women can go to university but that they will have to wear the strict dress code of the hijab or burkha. Over here Muslim women can wear a hijab which covers their face and neck.

But in backward Muslim countries like Afghanistan it will almost certain mean they are more like burkhas i.e. covering the face as well.

Further, women students will not be allowed to have joint lectures with men. Nor will women have male tutors.

Add to that the decision that women can no longer play sport and it’s quite clear that women will be denied the freedom that we and America gave them for two decades.

Will women just soak that up and be happy to have their ambitions denied as second class citizens?

The way to show women we are thinking of them is if UK Muslims made clear that they thought this action un-Islamic. I want all their organisations to be big on social media holding these thugs to account.

Muslim voices from the West embolden these Afghan women. Am surprised that there haven’t been more voices already.

Surely UK Muslims don’t think this is all okay?

The smile, the grace, and the Chinese mum that gave Raducanu the self-belief to be a champ (and pocket millions).

I always look to the parents when analysing the success of a child. Were they tough? Were they driven? Were they empathetic? What brought out the best in their child?

For Emma Raducanu she is quite clear what gave her the edge; It was her mother’s Chinese background.

Raducanu’s mother comes from Shenyang, a city of 9.2million in the north east of the country.

Emma told Vogue magazine; ‘’ My mum comes from a Chinese background, they have a very good self-belief.

‘’It’s not necessarily telling everyone about how good you are, but it’s about believing it within yourself. I really respect that about the culture’’.

Mum Dong Mei Zhai, known as Renee, moved to Canada where she met husband Ian a Romanian. When Emma was only two the couple moved to Bromley, South east London.

Pushed by her parents to try different sports, she often found herself the only girl in the group.

She said; ‘’When I was younger, I was the only girl in the group doing karting or doing motor-cross and I thought it was pretty cool.

‘’For example one time, my motor-cross teacher was like, right, we’re going to do press-ups. I was the only one who could do it, so I was really proud of myself.
​
‘’When I started playing tennis the whole squad I was in was all boys. It was quite intimidating.’’

​
​Dad Ian always had high hopes for Emma. Due to covid they couldn’t go to the US for the tennis but after winning she called her dad who said; ‘’You’re even better than your dad thought.’’ Tough to please but the journey proved him right.

Thanks  to her family background she can speak Mandarin fluently which opens China to her commercially. That will not have been achieved by any other Western sportswoman.

Sports marketing experts are united about one thing; she is going to a very rich woman even if she only ever wins one grand slam event.

On Friday morning she had 600,000 followers on Instagram but by last night that number had hit 1.4million. She still has some way to go to hit Serena Williams’s 13.6million but already Emma could charge £100,000 for just three posts on her feed.

Her marketing future is being handled by Max Eisenbud who oversees the tennis division for the sports and entertainment agency IMG.

He takes credit for making Maria Sharapova, the former world No.1, £234million in off-court activities.

With her smile, her talent, her good looks and grace I imagine Emma will make even more. I do hope so.

Congrats to angry parents who force u-turn on primary school head who secretly introduced gender-neutral loos

You have to wonder what kind of people become teachers. Take Moredon Primary school in Swindon, Wiltshire.

I presume the head teacher Anna Willcox is an intelligent, down to earth, kind of person.

So explain this. Why did she decide to make its toilets gender neutral without bothering to tell the parents.

When the parents found out they went potty as it meant the urinals in the boys’ toilets remained in use despite girls being allowed in.

One parent said; ‘’It makes kids think it’s normal to be sharing toilets with other sexes but when you go out you can’t do that.

Neither Asda or McDonald’s have gender free toilets so why does the school think it’s acceptable.’’

​
The only reason the parents found out was because the kids came home and told them.  The parents struggled to get answers from Ms Willcox who has stopped spending her mornings in the playground since the change was brought in, plus she's not returning calls or has gone home early if parents go to her office.

Even if she has gone to ground she has now changed her decision.  In her statement she said the school believes in ‘’equality’’ for all children. Big deal. Who doesn’t.

She added; ‘’With the best of intentions for two days we made a change to school policy. On reflection we recognised we didn’t take the best approach. We’ve listened to the feedback from some of our parents and made a further adjustment to our policy.

‘’We now have both unisex and single sex toilets in school.’’

Miss Willcox should learn from the incident. Consult the parents. By and large they are smarter than the staff room.
And a lot less liberal.

The plumbers and electricians of today are not working class but clever small business owners. KPMG’s target is old school

I see the overpaid idiots at the audit and consulting firm KPMG have, with big fanfare, announced they want to raise  the number of working class staff from 20% to 29% within a decade.

It defined working class as having parents with ‘’routine and manual’’ jobs like plumbers, electricians, butchers and van drivers.

Do these accountants actually know such people and what they do?

I doubt it. The plumbers and electricians I know are clever people running small businesses using software for their accounts and invoices.  What they can do with ease I couldn’t achieve in a month of Sundays.

The manner in which our Polish plumber understands the way water flows is quite beyond. He charges a fortune.  I am pleased to pay it. The shower water is now hot. That’s all I care about.

The same is to be said of an electrician I use. I sit there looking at a three pin plug and wondering where it goes. He seems able to rewire a house before breakfast. Their work is not routine nor is it manual.

They are no more working class than I am. My parents were bloody hard working and ambitious local paper journalists.

KPMG should not be using this odd phrase working class to define the make-up of their workforce. If they want to work out what privilege looks like just study a family where the parents are hard-working and ambitious.

Those are the ones that get on. And what are KPMG going to do about that? Stop hiring such people in order to hit a bizarre target.

There are all kinds of idiots making it to the top of business right now. KPMG seems to have plenty of them.

When we push back the migrant boats are we ready for them jumping into the water?

I am 100% behind Priti Patel’s plan to push back into French waters boats carrying illegal migrants but have a question; What happens when a migrant, in a moment of defiance, jumps into the water?

Of course we try and pull them back in but supposing they get into trouble and drown. Supposing half a dozen do the same.

There will inevitably be phone videos of the deaths which will go worldwide. Despite it being the migrant’s own decision to risk their own life inevitably the government will get the blame.

Bleeding Hearts Inc (a wholly-owned subsidiary I Weep for the World) will swing into action. Our country will be divided on political and age lines.

Most Conservatives and voters on the Right side of Labour will say it was their choice to kill themselves and shouldn’t have been in the Channel anyway.

Starmer will not know what to do. On the one hand it’s a tragedy but on the other he will know that the Red Wall are not in favour of illegal migration which takes away decent subsidised homes from their families.

Our chums in Jockestan will see it as another reason for separating themselves from the cold-hearted English.

I presume Boris has thought through the politics of all this and has decided that it’s never wrong to do the right thing.
And it is the right thing. Nothing appears to put off the smugglers or the migrants from heading here. The numbers this year look like 15,000 which is the size of a small English town.

The French encourage it as it gets 15,000 off their books and causes a massive issue for their natural enemy.

Migration across the world from poor undemocratic countries - often Muslim - is the issue of our time. They love the West and the idea of Universal Credit; the ability to sit around all day doing nothing with people you have never met sending you money though their taxes. What a good idea. 

The Channel illegals must be stopped. But there is a price. Are we prepared to pay it?
