With the news that Trump is targeting anyone who isn’t white - the latest being Somalian Americans- and here in Britain our Lab govt , yes Lab govt are targeting children and families who are not white. This is about skin colour and not immigration.

Don’t remember the bbc highlighting the opposition at PMQs when the Tories were in govt. Again the rw media mask the bias by claiming it’s a left wing bias when it clearly isn’t.
December 3, 2025 at 1:52 PM
BBC now leading in news broadcasts on what the opposition is saying.

Stranger Things-halfway through S.2. Thought-why the hell didn’t any of these families move from Hawking? I meanPennsylvania is a fucking miserable wet state- it gets used for all the most awful US crime dramas. Move ffs. Look up any US crime drama apart from Wire/Homicide and it’s Pennsylvania.

All Starmer has to do at PMQs is to say to Badenoch - when is the leader of the opposition going to admit responsibility for the 14 years of chaotic failure. That’s all he has ti say- nothing else.

Reducing foreign aid: we were told it was temporary until economic conditions are better. Limiting jury trials : we’re told it is temporary.
Once you allow the thin wedge of the small state/ free market nutters into the room they take over. Lab have done this.

Our appalling “inquiry” system rolls on and on. Hillsborough still hasn’t been resolved. The PO workers didn’t get what they deserved, Covid rumbles on with press critical as they support Johnson. The cost and length of inquiries give the critics ample munition. It’s needs reform .
December 2, 2025 at 5:54 PM
So Lab govt is set to announce a limit on jury trials - why not ban them altogether and eradicate the backlog. Why not do away with barristers too. Why not have the PM or better still the editor of the Sun decide sentences. In fact why have trials at all- just chuck ‘em in prison ?

Consider this by Chakrabortty in today’s Guardian: “Downing Street can make a strong case for itself. The margins forecast by the OBR were too small for comfort, especially considering bond investors charge the UK the highest interest rate of all G7 rich countries” Think on that for a while .

Recommendation: read Tanya Gold’s excellent article on Epstein in The Observer on Sunday 30th. A telling insight which for me is about at its heart, misogyny.
December 2, 2025 at 10:19 AM
Have you noticed how Lab have even adopted the tactics of the Tories by blaming everyone but themselves. Whether it’s the OBR or the previous administration. They are as sleazy and deceiving as the last govt.
December 1, 2025 at 4:34 PM
OBR’s mea-culpa doesn’t fool anyone. They were forced to do this.
December 1, 2025 at 3:19 PM
Anyone believing Starmer or Reeves needs a lobotomy. They are lying the same way Johnson Truss and Sunak did.
December 1, 2025 at 3:14 PM
The chancellor didn’t deceive the public says Starmer. Right, that must be true then. Taking the Johnson line where if you say something it’s true.

Just started watching Stranger Things - yeah I know about 9 years late. Is it intentional it’s like a cross between ET and Stand By Me?
December 1, 2025 at 12:18 PM
When you see the conditions in Iran and the lack of human rights particularly for women in the drama Prisoner 951 about Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe you realise that it has more in common with the right in Britain than they’d dare admit.

Jenni Russell writing in today’s Times: “state inactivity has allowed environmental crime to become the new narcotics….”
This is in a newspaper which has railed against the state for decades (at least since Murdoch owned it). The hypocrisy is truly deafening.

Best decision Slot made today was before the game in dropping Salah. I venture that rest of team were getting pissed off with Salah continuing to be picked when he so obviously wasn’t putting in a shift. Witz was excellent.

If West Ham’s Paqueta wants to put betting scandal behind him today’s farcical behaviour wasn’t the way to go about it. His 2 cards in 3 mins - first a yellow then a red for persistent arguing with ref had a whiff of premeditation and some would conclude more.
November 30, 2025 at 6:54 PM
At last!!! We (Liverpool)win. At last Isak scores.
November 30, 2025 at 6:48 PM
Watching Stranger Things for first time S.1 Ep. 1. Yeah I know.. it has the appearance of ET combined with creepier happenings than an extra terrestrial in a cupboard . What always amazes me is young people (teenagers) being given far more dialogue than they would say in reality
November 30, 2025 at 3:39 PM
Man Utd, yes even them have more resilience than this Liverpool team. We are more flaky than a snowflake.
November 30, 2025 at 2:03 PM
Torsten Bell of the Resolution Foundation: sound economic and social thinker.
Torsten Bell of Reeves’ treasury team: a man driven by political expediency and his boss’s motives.
Sad but true
November 30, 2025 at 1:49 PM
The spat between the treasury (Reeves) and the OBR smacks of Trussism at its worst. Any chancellor worth their sort should welcome independent scrutiny. You don’t have to be a fan of the OBR to find the Govt’s take on things nauseating.
November 30, 2025 at 1:03 PM
Good piece by Northcroft in today’s ST on Liverpool’s and Slot’s woes. However what he doesn’t touch upon is an unbalanced transfer window. We should have prioritised centre backs and defensive midfielders and then attackers. Isak was a very strange buy given he doesn’t fit at all into how we play.
