“We are playing a dangerous game by arguing NatWest is wrong to deny people services”
Ah! The Christian baker argument. Banks arent businesses in the same way. We, as account holders place our money with them, ON TRUST, that they will handle my money responsibly, and without favour. when the day comes that I want my money back, it will be there. They custodians of our money. Of course they can decide if they want you as a client, but withdrawing services without explanation, and failing to give time to find alternative arrangements is a breach of trust, and if we can’t trust our banks (and we really can’t…) then what can we rely on.?
Banking is licensed, I cannot just start my own bank, the market doesn’t function here. Everyone needs access and in a perverse way the government will want everyone to have a digital identity tied to their ability to live and eat, how else will they be controlled.
I’ve not read the article yet, but if she has used the christian baker argument then that is fallacious. The baker did not refuse to serve the customer, they only declined a specific order because the of the requested design.
The fact all banks turned down Farage suggests collusion which used to be a breach of anti-monopoly laws.
it is decades since politicians or the quango concerned paid attention to market dominance or manipulation. Too many sweethearts deals between politics and big business.
Banks are utilities, just as gas, electricity and water
“Drivers hit by ‘price penalty’ to meet Ulez rules”
We have deliberately held on to my sons Ford Fiesta for this very reason. After yesterdays court case victory, now is the time to sell. Bonanza..!
Don’t pay, ever! Drive as you wish and ignore it! Rip up the fines and bin them! What are they going to do? Imprison most of the London population?
“The climate scaremongers: Heatwave hysteria”
The hysteria is a nutshell. The Grauniads story on global warming, with the weather forecast telling the truth…
The ‘Global’ Crisis, currently being ignored by 70% of the globe…
Planet clearly on the way to heat death…
If global warming is just that, why are only parts of the world having heat waves?
“Woke capitalism is a monster of the state’s own making”
I can’t decide if Lord Frost is slowly putting 2+2 together, or is just being very careful about what he says.
Don’t mention the war!
Is there now some unwritten rule that this site does not mention the Ukraine war? It seems that the arch war enthusiast Victoria Nuland has temporarily taken over as second in command at thew USA state dept.
https://responsiblestatecraft.org/2023/07/25/uber-russia-hawk-victoria-nuland-rises-to-acting-deputy-secretary-of-state/
During the siege of Stalingrad there were reports of Russian officers shooting any of their men who tried to retreat or back down; whilst she may be in Washington with a pen rather than on a battlefield with a gun, I feel she is doing much the same for the thousands of Ukrainian troops who are being hurled to their deaths against the huge fortifications that the Russians have put up to secure Eastern Ukraine.
”My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.”
No need to mention it as Ukraine is on the point of winning against the incompetent Orcs with their hypersonic shovels. Lord Dannett says so.
The BBC’s report on the Russian fortifications;
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-66306150
Seems to almost imply that it is unsporting of the Russian’s to put up all these defences and make it difficult for Ukraine. As far as I can ascertain the Russians have established a defensive position which the current Ukrainian armed forces cannot penetrate. To hurl their soldiers at these defences seems like a futile, fatal and horrendous gesture that simply depletes their army.
Either, God Helps us, NATO needs to intervene directly in this conflict or USA/NATO need to phone Putin and Zelensky and call an immediate halt with unconditional talks mediated by a third party (China?, Turkey? African country?). As it is this mess drags on like a gruesome replay of the worst of the first world war.
But as noted, the problem is that the Tories have signed up to Woke. I voted for them for a variety of reasons, but belief that they would take on the culture war prime amongst them. That and a smaller state and slashing public spending. On all they have done exactly the opposite of what a real Conservative government would do.
As far as this 71 year old can see, the West is FUBAR. Completely and totally FUBAR – and as our adversaries have proposed, the collapse of the West is not down to opponents, but from rot from within.
They can all **** off.
Is it possible to watch this 2min compilation and not think what a repugnant, creepy old b’stard Biden is? I mean, the odd one or two incidences could be written off as a doddery old man forgetting he’s the President and being a bit overly-tactile with other people’s children but this, which is not even all of the evidence as it’s 2 years old, is like “Paedo Alert!!” on steroids.

No doubt in my mind that he is a paedophile, whether he is active in that is another matter but he shows all the characteristics of one. He plays the kindly, slightly eccentric grampa figure but honestly all that touching, sniffing etc is highly inappropriate. No wonder his own kids are so screwed up.
Farage needs to launch UKIP again; the UK independence party, this time independence from the banks and other woke corporations that are smothering our freedoms.
That bankster Sunak and kneeler Starmer are both in hock to the banks and corporations means UKIP 2.0 would have an open goal to win in 2025.
“Driver hit by ‘price penalty’ …” On the other side of the coin I had a look at a site that offered cross checks of reg numbers against ULEZ requirements (not a TfL one), which suggested that your second hand value might go up if yours is compliant. Might be profitable for second hand dealers for a while.
