RANDOM THOUGHTS

HOW LOW HAVE THEY SUNK

I’m no fan of SIR Starmer, the aristocratic leader of the “Labour” Party, but what a cheap tawdry remark from this oaf, who, we would remind you, lies in bed at night dreaming about sending refugees to an unsafe country.

**********

WHY DO THEY STILL CALL THEMSELVES “LABOUR”?

Can this possibly be true?

Anything to put the SNP down, who cares if it’s a lie, aided and abetted by the BB…

Remember this? Is that how you get elevated into the aristocracy?

Yet Wales is governed by so-called “socialists” and Scotland bu so-called “nationalists”. Odd that!

Ho Hum…

**********

AND THE TORIES ARE JUST AS MAD

Take, for example, Annie Wells (someone please):

She tweets:

“From today, ScotRail fares will increase by almost 5%. Since the SNP nationalised our railways, passengers have endured reduced services, cancellations and now rising ticket prices.”

Any price increase is unwelcome, particularly at this time, but it is fair to say that the 4.8% rise in fares is an under-inflation rise…and given the enormous increase in the price of fuels used to power the trains, this isn’t a particularly unfair or unforeseen price rise.

Sadly too, for Annie, in her country, train fares increased in March of this year, by 5.9%. The same applies there too. It’s not an unreasonable increase given the rate of inflation. Additionally, there have been endless disruptions to services in England because of strikes and general inefficiencies in the chaotic British train network.

Someone described British trains as the most expensive and least efficient in Europe. My experience of trains in France, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Belgium, Spain, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Denmark and Ireland bear that out.

People in glass railway stations shouldn’t throw stones.

Comical Annie.

**********

NEW CONSERVATIVES…EVEN WORSE THAN THE OLD CONSERVATIVES

Not that I had much time for any Tory at any time, but what do you think, Alex Douglas Home or Harold MacMillan would think of the likes of 30p Lee and the unbelievably thick Gullis?

The New Conservatives, including the Vice Chair of the Old Conservatives want to ban foreign workers from working in our care homes… and, as immigration is reserved to England, I guess that mean OUR care homes too.

Fair to say though, that probably none of them will never have to put their parents or grandparents into an understaffed care home.

***********

WATER WATER EVERYWHERE…

Water, water, every where,

And all the boards did shrink;

Water, water, every where,

Nor any drop to drink.

The very deep did rot: O Christ!

That ever this should be!

Yea, slimy things did crawl with legs

Upon the slimy sea.

Slimy things on the slimy sea indeed.

  1. Weel, I did tell ye… 🙂

    BTW Tris, bear in mind that since last Friday morning Twitter (under Elon Muskrat) is currently preventing people without Twitter accounts from even viewing Tweets at the moment. The arrogant f*nny claims that this is just a ‘temporary measure’, but what is termed ‘temporary’ quite often isn’t: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/special_report/regions/wales/410931.stm

    Those lights were put there before I went to Uni (my route to and from Uni took me that way). I was nearly middle-aged by the time they went.

      Yes. Panda Paws was saying that she could no long access Twitter to lift the occasional funny or cute animal tweets for Sunday or Monday, or to raise spirits in the middle of a gruesome thread about Britbin.

      Also, I noticed that even people who are members will be limited in how much they can access unless they pay to become “ticked” members.

      In response to him I would say that Facebook remains free and he can, um… toddle off.

      1. It is been reported that Mark Zuckerberg is launching its new app called Threads to rival Twitter and says it will go live on Thursday.

        It appears from Meta’s Threads app that it will be a free service – and there will be no restrictions on how many posts a user can see.

        Pictures show screengrabs from the app, that look almost identical to Twitter.

        Mark Zuckerberg…..never slow in taking advantage of what he sees as the obvious right time to seize a lucrative business opportunity……in order to try to gain control , via offering an alternative form of Twitter that so far , pre and since Musk ownership, has been a dominant and popular social media platform…… and more importantly I suspect to also get one over on Musk…….

        Musk seems to be gifting this opportunity to his rival…..he obviously knows not the saying that is…….

        “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it”

        If you were cynical you would think that there is some dark reason behind Musk seemingly doing his best to destroy Twitter……I personally think that it, Twitter, being, for many people, a huge source of information and news, and too via trusted twitter accounts who are seen as the exposers of truth and also THE providers of news that is often neglected by MSM, that Musk is trying to restrict that access to the many in order to aid the few….the few being people like his pal Trump and some others…..as the only other explanation , given how much he paid to acquire Twitter, is that he is MAD !!!!

        Anyhoo in the real world we would be better placed to just commit to always trying to be nice to other people, be good and kind to animals, appreciate and respect nature and live the best life we can…..and be thankful that, unlike SOME Billionaires via their wealth and status, if we had their same wealth and status we would not choose to use it to gain an unfair advantage over others for the benefit of both ourselves and our odious friends (like Trump) …for suspect reasons ….a method in the madness I think via Musk …..

        Have a great day everyone

    2. Dunno, Nigel. I think, though, that it must be something he’s done that sparked it.

      His bank is used to dealing with VIPs and being discrete. It can’t be that they dislike him because he’s a greasy unpleasant racist. They must have plenty of these as customers.

      You don’t target a well known person with his own (albeit not much watched) tv show who can get you a lot of bad publicity.

      If they did it to me, no one would know. But him?

      Coutts must know that their decision would be publicly scrutinised at all levels from the Express to the FT.

      I’d say, then, that the decision must have come from the top of his bank… not just some branch manager or AI. And again, it’s not just his own bank. No bank will take him on.

      No matter how repulsive (in every way) I find him, I don’t think anyone should be treated like that…. unless they have done something so profoundly bad that there is no alternative.

      I wonder if we shall ever find out.

    The amounts some of these Labour and Tory MPs are taking from private health companies is horrendous, there is no way that should be legal, truly sickening, pun intended. While NHS staff especially in England are denied a fair wage pay rise, disgusting.

    The thought of Sarwar or Baillie being anywhere near power in Scotland is utterly terrifying. Just pray that folks new to Scotland are not conned into voting for them, brrr.

    Led by Donkeys, always very good at exposing lies and corruption of the English government. Maximilian Robespierre had a clip on his yt channel showing the CEO of England’s NHS blaming the staff who are going to be striking, for wrecking their NHS, she’s obviously a Tory, and her voice is the plummiest of the plummy. Boak.

      There is one good way to not have your staff striking, and that is to treat them properly.

      Medical unions are militant left wing commies. Thy are highly educated and skilled people who have chosen a career that dedicates its;ef to looking after people. But they get poorer and poorer by they year and that’s Ok for people like Sunak, who can always transfer another million or six into his current account, but for real people, especially the younger ones with massive loans to pay back and mortgages, and with kids to look after…. and without a billion pounds, it’s not so easy.

    1. It’s fair to say that Farage is only repugnant to some people. There are presumably those who like him.

      I’ve always thought he would stink like a drunken ashtray and I find his politics and his grifting utterly repugnant, but as you say, I’m not sure how anyone can survive today without internet access, banking and a smartphone to deal with QR codes. To be deprived of these things leaves you without the means to survive in the modern world.

      But why are banks doing it?

      Are the directors of the banks so anti-Farage (or these other ‘personalities’) that they are doing it out of spite? And why all of them?

      The banks are private companies so I suppose they cannot be forced to take on customers. And now that the Post Office is a private company, I guess that they no long have an obligation to provide banking services as once they did. I wonder if Cable addressed that when he sold the Post Office off cheap.

      It remains a mystery why these companies would ALL would turn down business unless the people concerned have been using their accounts for nefarious purposes. In that case will prosecutions follow. And why doesn’t Farage take the banks to court. I’m sure he could crowd fund it and one of his mates could provide banking facilities for the fund.

      1. It’s not really a mystery in some of the cases I know about, it’s direct discrimination on the grounds of protected belief. Unfortunately some banks haven’t realised/don’t care that the Forstater judgement applies to them too.

        Obviously where fraud is suspected that’s a different matter. And if there is fraud not having a bank might be the least of their problems! Dominic Lawson said he and his wife tried to open an account for their daughter who has Down’s and several banks turned him down because of his dad. Who knows…

        But if the banks want to pick and choose their customers (outwith illegality) than maybe taxpayers should pick and choose who they want to bail out when it hits the fan and we have another banking crisis…

        1. It’s a really hard situation.

          In the cases you know about, have the banks given the reason for their behaviours or just closed the accounts… and are they personal accounts or business ones?

          Is the government (Hunt) sanctioning this?

          It’s a massively difficult situation when private companies decide for one reason or another to not work with someone. In a way, I guess private companies should be able to choose who they serve.

          The trouble is that that can involve issues of race, religion, skin colour, gender or sexuality and that may break equality laws.

          Are equality laws fair?

          I remember a case in the north of Ireland where a baker refused to make a cake for a gay couple’s wedding. What to do? And a B+B in England who refused to have same sex couples because it offended their religious beliefs. Religious beliefs are protected by law as they should be.

          A pub in Forfar had a notice outside saying that “separatists” were not welcome.

          Some places don’t want football fans won’t serve anyone wearing football colours, presumably to stop the possible carnage when opposing drunks are in the same building. Not unreasonable.

          And I bet there are places where they wouldn’t welcome Catholics /Protestants particularly in the north of Ireland.

          In a way, I can accept that companies shouldn’t be forced to do business with people that they dislike… rude people, people who behave badly… but where do you draw the line? Beats me.

          In fairness, I discriminate too in that way. I won’t buy Scottish produce if it has the butcher’s toilet roll flag on it. I stopped buying Baxter’s products when they supported the UK against Scotland and likewise ASDA. So in a way I’m guilty of that kind of prejudice too.

          If, as Alan suggests, they have only stopped business and not personal accounts that is a different thing. It’s not discrimination against the person per se because they can still bank.

          It suggests that it must be because of something dodgy in the accounts.

          It’s hard to believe that ALL the banks would do that without reason.

          I’m sure it will have to come out. People like Farage will generate huge publicity and the truth will be forced out.

          And it will be interesting if it has come from the Treasury and Hunt knows about it. And it’s not malpractice, but political rivalry.

      2. Alan, according to the Independent article “Farage is also president of Reform UK, which he likes to pass off as a kind of honorific role; but he is also a director of The Reform UK Party Limited. This is important because, unlike most political parties, it doesn’t have members as such or an elected national executive committee, and is in fact a corporate not a membership body. Companies House lists him as a director, and actually the sole named person with “significant control”, and the right to appoint and remove directors (including, presumably, the party leader and fellow director Richard Tice). Thus, Farage is indeed caught by the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017, under Section 35, paragraph 14c, which covers “members of the governing bodies of political parties”.”
        So a bit more than about to move in with the Reform Party

      4. It’s less about Farage who I despise and more about cutting people off after years of using an account when there is no evidence of illegality. In his case, it’s been rumoured he didn’t mention enough money in the account and Coutts have minimum deposit rules. But it’s not about him per se.

        Another blogger went to pay for stuff in a supermarket, found his car was declined, try elsewhere same. Phoned, on wait for ages to then find out his personal account had been closed without his knowledge. A Vicar had his account closed when he queried policy.

        Now regardless of ins and outs and personal feelings for people, what if you’d eaten a meal or put petrol in the car and you found you couldn’t pay for it because you can’t access your own money!

        There needs to be a system whereby they can’t stop your account until they have written acknowledgement that you know they’re going to do it and have been given the opportunity to transfer your money first!

        1. Yes. Apparently, to have an account with Coutts you have to have £3 million on deposit. Not for the faint hearted, or indeed the unemployed. (Exactly why this is necessary, I don’t know. As far as I could make out the Queen Mother had an account with them which was permanently overdrawn, as vintage champagne is an expensive hobby even for someone on a vast income with no real expenses.).

          Now that Aaron Banks has stopped funding Farage, he only has his massive EU parliament pension to live on and what he can scam from people in his political party that is, in fact, a business.

          As I read it, National Westminster, which owns Coutts, offered him an account for ordinary people with the much less prestigious NatWest…. so his tale that he couldn’t get a bank account and might have to leave the UK (what heaven) was, according to that information. a lie. (Imagine Farage telling a lie!)

          As for the blogger and vicar, whom I suspect don’t bank with Coutts, they need to make an appointment to speak to their manager. (Not, I imagine easy, now that AI deals with all banking and they have sacked most of their staff… but at least here, it is possible.)

          My immediate reaction is that MOST vicars probably wouldn’t be up to anything illegal, or be hideously overdrawn and refuse to pay off their debts, although you can never tell. Bloggers, as Munguin will tell you, not so much!!! 🙂

          It could be AI error, I guess. But a bank manager should be able to at least explain what has happened…whether it is lack of funds or suspicion of illegality/fraud, or an AI mistake.

          I’d like to see a bank manager explain that they had simply taken a dislike to you! Highly unlikely.

          Someone with Farage’s profile could almost undoubtedly contact the higher ups in the bank and ask for an explanation.

          In Farage’s case, it looks like he’s been lying. Presumably to get someone to give him a helping handout, the old grifter.

          Even if banks were to be forced by the government to give the barest minimum of banking facilities. Ie somewhere you could pay money in and withdraw it.

      John to Abigail:
      “The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more.”

      The Second Continental Congress of the thirteen colonies voted unanimously for independence on July 2. So the SECOND of July was the date that John Adams had in mind when he wrote the “Bonfires and Illuminations” letter on July 3. However, the wording of Tom Jefferson’s Declaration of Independence was not adopted by the Congress until the following day. So July 4 has been celebrated as Independence Day ever since.

      (King George III wrote a letter of abdication about the matter, but cooler heads ultimately prevailed at the palace.)

      2. I tend to get mixed up with the 14th July which is Bastille Day in France, when another more sensible country ditch the royals… and having the royals and aristos closer at hand got rid of them in a more final sort of way.

        🙂

        1. LOL Tris…..Yes, for the American revolution, the royals and the aristos were safe in England.
          Maybe July is just a good month for revolutions. Maurice Chevalier used French for the date when he sang Yankee Doodle Dandy. 🙂

  12. Some media reporting that honest bob jenrick, demanded that cartoon characters be painted over to make the asylum seekers accommodation less welcoming to children.

    This is the same person who was banned from driving for breaking the law.

    The same person who gave a property developer the go ahead against the local authority, saved him £30million in local taxation.

    The same person who signed off his mate’s constituency extra support, to get the same for his own.

    Just saw a piece of slimy sunak being questioned about the goldstein sacking/resignation, caught out on saying he hasn’t read the report, then let it slip he had on goldstein, same report.

    1. Jenrick is a disgusting despicable ass.

      A liar , a cheat and a person who hates children being happy.

      I wish him the worst.

      Yes, said he hadn’t read it cover to cover…. and then it was pointed out that it was 3 pages long.

      Another lying sack of ****

      Still happily it rained on King Mrs Parker Bowles in Edinburgh today. Shame there wasn’t a hurricane.

  13. Did you see the report on the prime midget’s constituency?

    A local school asked if he could help out with the school updating their computer suite.

    He did, sent them a bottle of Champers for the raffle, a £10 bottle from the commons shop.

    he and the wife donated $3m to an American school his wife attended, probably to ensure his children got places.

    They could have bought the whole suite’s computers and not missed it , around a couple of tens of thousands for right up to date machines and a lot less than he paid out for the grid update to heat the swimming pool at the constituency home.

    Wonder if he got rained on in Edinburgh as he said he had to attend the king.

    1. That’s despicable. If I asked an MP for a donation for charity, and s/he was an ordinary MP , I’d be insulted if all he gave was a £10 gift.

      It was Sunak with his hundreds of millions and his wife’s billion, I’d have sent it back with a note saying … Nah, if you’re that hard up, keep it. You probably need it more than we do…. and done a press release about it.

      Yeah I heard it rained for Mrs Parker Bowles’ garden party.

      I hope they all got soaked.

      The first ceremony in England was an unnecessary waste of money. I understand there are no such ceremonies in other European monarchies.

      It may be something to do with him being the Pope of their state church.

      He’s not the head of the Church of Scotland and there’s no need for a religious ceremony. The second his mother died he was the king, although his slapper wasn’t the queen, by the dictate of his mother.

      I hope it all goes wrong. Rain again tomorrow.

      It seems, given it rained for his English ceremony and now for this farce, his god doesn’t much like him. Serves him right for being a tart.

    1. I do hope that it is not and that they get drenched.

      Is the old fool going to be wearing his clown costume again?

      Bernard Jenkins, a particularly disagreeable man.

      Sunak v the Orcadians…

      Dross was saying that it’s the SNP’s fault that Orkey wants to leave Scotland.

      I had to point out that they want to leave the UK and probably join NORWAY, given it’s a civilised country. What an idiot Ross is.

  16. News of yet another high profile person whose bank accounts were closed

    “THE bank account of a women’s rights and equalities campaigner has been shut by the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) without explanation, her family has said.”

    “Almost 10,000 people have joined a Facebook group called “NatWest closed down my account”

    RBS is part of the NatWest group.
