  1. Is anyone in the least surprised by this? Have a look at how many people in senior positions in the FCA subsequently get nice cushy jobs at the banks they are meant to regulate. Am I the only one who remembers that in July the government promised that by the end of August the FCA would have sorted out greedy banks not passing on interest rate rises to their savers? Well, half way through September, they have still done bugger all! The FCA is 100% in the pocket of the banks.

  2. This is precisely why I've often suggested that to celebrate their "conversion" a pint and a pork chop would be in order. YouTube keep removing such comments!

  3. It should have rung alarm bells with anyone who wasn't mentally enfeebled!

  4. Maybe all those strikers are remembering that old rugby song: "It's the rich that get the pleasure, it's the poor that get's the pain. It's the same the whole world over. Ain't it just a bloody shame". Well it's high time the rich (most of whom are parasites) shared the burden!

  5. Absolutely right! Kids go to school in the hope of learning to thing rationally and logically, not to have their minds filled with complete fantasy.

  6. What's made Brexit now vastly more popular has been the ultra fascist manner in which most EU countries have treated their populations during this pandemic. So many of us remainers are now very happy the vote went the other way.

  7. I don't think young people should be vaccinated, unless they have underlying health problems. However, given that Downing Street has burnt the book on medical ethics, giving them a choice through bribery is much less evil than coercing them, by making their lives impossible.

  8. About 40 years ago I used to work for the Home Office. While a few were definitely very clever and hard working, I can tell you that the vast majority really were consummate skivers, and also none too bright. If you can't get a decent day's work out of most civil servants when they are in the office, what's the chance of it when they are at home?

  9. The "right decision" would have been to remove restrictions much earlier, or never have had them. The "right decision" would have been to rely on vastly better natural immunity and not waste billions on dodgy vaccines.

  10. I'm so glad you mentioned forced marriages and FGM. These are still rife in the UK, but the law turns a blind eye to it. Also, if you asked all those girls who go to school in hajibs, and they felt safe confiding in you, you would find that the vast majority of them are forced to wear them. Call me an islamophobe and a racist, but I harbour the naive notion that a country's laws apply to everyone regardless of race or religion.

  11. Please don't blame the pandemic. It was the totally insane and unnecessary lockdowns and restrictions that destroyed so many otherwise healthy businesses.
    22
  12. Over 620 MPs didn't want, or couldn't be arsed, to do anything.

  13. Patrick you are so right about those remote appointments. They are an absolute scandal. A couple of years ago it was unthinkable that a sick person would be fobbed off with having to talk to a doctor on the phone or over zoom. Any decent doctor should be ashamed to operate in this manner, and we all need to fight against it. I bet fat boy Boris always gets to see a doctor in person.
    22
  14. I've lived in New Zealand, Germany and Italy, and without the slightest doubt UK wins hands down when it comes to the proportion of fat people: especially hideously fat. But then, because of political correctness the UK has gone the extra mile to normalise being a lard bucket. Considering the health risks, making people feel good about being fat is definitely not doing them any favours.

  15. Someone needs to compile and publish a list of rogue GPs, who don't want to see patients. Or perhaps we could have a website where people could rate their GPs, and comment on them.
    22
  16. That's exactly why so many want to see us sensible people jabbed. Misery loves company!

  17. If ever there was a case of cutting off your nose to spite your face it has to be slamming a 20% tax on private schools. By choosing private education parents are saving the state (us taxpayers) the cost of educating their children. A 20% tax will, exactly as Labour intends, cause many parents to abandon private schools, so overall the cost of educating kids in state schools will rise. Many private schools will even have to close, putting all their staff out of work. And don't be naive enough to believe that most of the unemployed teachers will end up in hell-hole state schools. Many won't want to, and often the schools won't want those who aren't used to the zoo-keeping needed in so many state schools.

  18. Someone else has mentioned the cost of housing. Violent criminals, whom society needs to be protected from, should be forced by whatever means necessary to work to pay he cost of keeping them locked up. If we don't make them pay then they continue to hurt society by diverting money that could otherwise be used for worthy causes.
    21
  19. What about targeting rampant, and illegal, ageism, that keeps so many older people out of work? For example, despite schools being desperately short of STEM teachers, there are many older ones who can teach their subjects really well, but who schools don't want to touch because they cost more, and are harder to bully.
    21
  20. The risk to almost all kids was incredibly low, so vaccinating them tore up the rule book on medical ethics. And that would have still been the case even if the vaccine had undergone years of testing! I'm now 67 and hardly a day goes by that I don't reflect on how wise I was not to have this vaccine. I also steer well clear of annual flu vaccines.
    21
  21. YouTube STILL bans people from questioning it!
    21
  22. Well, the vast majority of schools won't employ the older more experienced teachers, because they are more expensive. Their applications go straight in the bin, in favour of the very youngest and least experienced, many of whom are just trainees. As well as being better able to teach, many of these older teachers have contempt for all the PC nonsense. When I taught in the classroom I found that a good way of stopping two boys hitting each other was to say out loud "well lads, you know what they say, you always hurt the one you love". The rest of the class would laugh at them and they would stop messing around. Imagine what would happen if a teacher in the UK said that now.

  23. One advertises precisely so that people can find you. The government could definitely find these people smugglers if they wanted to!
    21
  24. People like me predicted this, but millions queued up to collect their Darwin award.
    21
  25. And you know one thing that would REALLY help? If people stopped wasting the food they bought. Off the top of my head I think around 30% of food goes into people's bins. As someone who wastes virtually no food, I find this absolutely disgusting.
    21
  26. One can just imagine the rent boys queuing up for Michael Gove.
    21
  27. "Tony Blair never does anything unless there's something in it for him" He's been taking lessons from his wife then. It was said that even if she organised a charity do she always made sure that it was a nice little earner for herself.
    21
  28. Electric cars might work for certain types of company, or even certain self-employed people. But for anyone who planned to drive their car a long way from their home buying one was the height of stupidity. When it comes to energy density petrol is the undisputed king.
    21
  29. As any honest teacher or university lecturer will tell you, many young people can't properly manage themselves until the hit their twenties!
    21
  30. There's only one issue. One should not gratuitously torment (and kill) animals or take pleasure in seeing this done. No ifs, no buts, no excuses!
    21
  31. What needs to be dealt with are the rabid fundamentalist dictators, and the misogynistic Gestapo that carry out their orders!
    21
  32. A bit like Blair then. A champagne socialist, very concerned that OTHER people might have too much. In the old Soviet Union Lammy would have been enjoying his dacha on the Black Sea, while working families struggled to swing a cat in their miniscule high rise flats.
    21
  33. As a kid I really hated drag shows, which I regarded as weird and unnatural.
    21
  34. It wouldn't surprise me to see dinghy boys being welcomed ashore with a slice of cake and nice cup of tea.
    21
  35. It's not just Labour. These horrific crimes went on for decades, and are probably still continuing. Little girls as young as 12 years old were raped and abused. Yet, in order not to upset certain groups, 100's, if not 1000's, of men have had a blind eye turned to the atrocities that they committed.

  36. Like asking if the Pope is a Catholic. I live in Enfield. Forty years ago if you threw a stone anywhere between the River Lea and the A10 you stood a good chance of hitting a factory. They provided many thousands of jobs. Every single one of those factories is now gone! The ambition of most kids now leaving school is to avoid doing any kind of job that might produce something tangible.

  37. Am I missing something here? If we are serious about driving Russia out of Ukraine then surely we should already have used every sanction we possibly can against Russia.
    20
  38. A crucial part of living in a Democracy is that people are going to say things that will offend you. The police need to be severely dealt with when they infringe people's rights like this.
    20
  39. I remembering being out for a walk on a stiflingly hot day a couple of years ago, and seeing a caveman family. The father and his sons were dressed in shorts and T-shirts, while the mother was swaddled from head to toe in black.
    20
  40. Don't you know, if it's directed against whites or Jews then it doesn't count as race hate.
    20
  41. And also the qualifications of the teachers!
    20
  42. Unfortunately this won't surprise many people. And as well as this the NHS has about 3 times as many management and admin staff as it needs. These parasites are like a virulent cancer, sucking the life out of the NHS and our hardworking doctors and nurses.
    20
  43. The coronation will entice a hell of a lot of tourists into the country, so it might just turn out to be a wise investment.
    20
  44. While it doesn't affect me, I think inheritance tax is incredibly unjust. It should be renamed Envy Tax.
    20
  45. The U-turns were absolutely necessary, but sacking a chancellor whom simply did EXACTLY what she had told him to do was dishonourable and dishonest. I have far more respect and trust for people who own up to making a mistake, rather than using someone else as a scapegoat. I'm guessing many others, including a lot of Tory MPs share my opinion on this.
    20
  46. Sharia law comes to Scotland!
    20
  47. Trying to do everything on the cheap has been the British way for several decades now, so this is nothing new. In fact a report in the Times Educational Supplement, a few days ago, has shown just how successful UK schools have been at this. The quality of teachers in them is now among the lowest in the world due to outstanding success in purging most of the older and more experienced teachers: not that most parents seem to care.
    20
  48. Cressida Dick definitely has not served the best interests of Londoners, in the past 20 months, otherwise Sarah Everard would still be alive. But, by concentrating on enforcing lockdown oppression, instead of REAL crime, she carried out the wishes of the Downing Street Dictators. They are actually very pleased to have someone who can put aside any moral scruples to better serve her tyrant masters, and so they are protecting her.
    20
  49. An earlier estimate today said 1 in 100. A back of envelope calculation on the lower number shows that around £2.5 billion a year of OUR taxes is being squandered on these people: while pensioners are expected to freeze.
    20
  50. I see someone beat me to remarking that too many corrupt individuals have been allowed to become MPs.
