Last year they generated about £60,000, presume that’s after all expenses, dividends etc. But no idea where the money came from, might have been the doubtless generous sceptic and rich person Luke Johnson who is on the board. They are too small to be obliged to file a Profit and Loss statement and I am not great at interpreting balance sheets. I imagine their income is pretty low – a few people here bung £5, advertising revenue will have dried up as they were targeted by Just Increase Hate or whatever they are called.

I pass by a church most days. They have a big sign board with ‘interesting’ messages and such on it. This week it has ‘Jesus made sacrifices for you, now we must make sacrifices for Nett Zero’.
Its a mental illness…
😀😀😀
Churches need to stand up for their parishioners and God which they noticeably failed to do during the Scamdemic.
Obviously few of the ministers truly believe. These types of gutless coward would have been useless in a real Biblical scale disaster. I suppose that is a lesson in itself.
Divine grace becomes human works… always the way false religion gets a hold.
It looks like a Monty Python sketch.
What surprises me is the amount of followers! They must all be brain dead ijits!
Our country’s security is lost on several fronts: immigration (both nlegal and illegal), energy, speach and mut other things we took for granted only a few years ago. The biggest issue on the media – an abnoxious man called Brand who is accused by a bnumber of women of crin=minal activitry some years ago.
The correct process should be complaints to the poolice, investigations and a decision to prosecute or not.What is happening is many of Brand’s former left wing enthusiasts are fearing what might emerge (whether he is guilty or notr) so they are distancing themselves, criuticisting issues vaguely related to the alleged activities. This is not attractive!
The handmaidens of theleft, the MSM, are shutting him down.
BTW – I have no time for the man.
The libertarian media I see are rightly saying he has a right to proper legal procedured. They are saying the issue should be considered through due process using the evidence. I fully agree.
But what has the MSM to say about routine attacks on freedom of expression and thought. What is the state doiung about freedom when the FCA says there is no evidence banks have closed accounts for poliutical reasons – just read the Farage documents out of Coutts!!
It would be interesting to read the FCA questionnaikre to its regulated entities. How could they all have relied “NON” when we know only of libertarians who have been cancelled. Was the Blair corporate businmess ever cancelled or any of the left wing pressure groups or lobbyists – no, I thought not.
“Patrick O‘Flynn: You’d have to pay me to buy an electric car”
I thought that was what we’d been doing via subsidies and tax breaks..? I wonder how many people would be driving them if they’d had to pay full price..?
“Wales 20mph calamity as drivers will only be prosecuted going 26mph”
I always understood that as the standard for speedometer accuracy was 0% under and 10% over, +3mph to ensure that you really had been speeding, Therefore 36mph for 30mph and 25mph for 20mph limit. One of the frustrations of e.g motorway speed cameras is that they are precise, and you can be prosecuted for speeding while your dashboard tells you that you aren’t.
In reality, that’s bureaucratic common sense, allowing for accuracy and tolerance etc. Similar to other systems in use – typically at least +3 and a bit more to be able to prove anything. Incidentally, for most private cars, at a real 26, it would display at least 27 to 29. The relevant standard is an international one that manufacturers have to follow, and most cars are deliberately set a bit high to avoid various errors when timing the rotation of the drive shaft.
In the real world, it’s likely that many people will run too slow because they do not understand the accuracy of their instruments – at least, that’s what happens on stretches of the M4 with 50 limits in Wales. On those stretches they use average speed monitoring between pairs of cameras.
There was an old operating rule for the old bill to use 10% over +3 with hand held kit – although that might vary a bit, but it is only about +3 in variable speed limit areas with operational cameras on the gantries.
This might be of interest: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/002029401104400804 Anything that moves in the physical wold is subject to accuracy and tolerance when trying to measure it. When trying to measure low values, the accuracy will be less than it is at higher ones, if it’s expressed in percentages.
Did Speewatch in our village a while back. We were told – by the police – NOT to report anyone at under under 10% over the speed limit. So in effect, where we monitored, 34mph or over.
Were I done at 31 mph, I’d demand documentation showing the camera had been recently and correctly calibrated.
“Stonehenge was built by black people, children’s book claims”
Ancient Black peoples had wealthy and sophisticated empires and built marvellous cities in Africa. Perhaps talking about them would be better that appropriating events that had feck all to do with them..?
Yes, it comes to something when our history is being appropriated by the politically correct/non whites or whatever. The irony.

“Carnage Carney.”
I never understood how this smarmy POS got the B of E job in the first place. Why did we pick an unknown Canadian mediocrity, at best, to undertake such an important, privileged job? Once we realised what he had done it was too late.
One of Klaus’s ‘little helpers’ put in place to ruin Britain – Carnage Carney. An utter Next Tuesday.
When you ask, “Why did we …”, I could be wrong but I don’t think it has anything to do with us, the BofE is independent of government.
I think the Monarch technically appoints the Governor of the BofE, following recommendation by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. So, notionally at least, it is a “democratic” appointment.
Apart from a major role in deposing Truss. Cough.
A metaphorical “We.” Looking back it is now clear that Carnage was given the job by the Davos Deviants. ‘Our’ people – government, B of E – simply did as they were told.
Or Greece. He was Goldman Sachs man for “special risk” or some such title in EMEA when Greece was squeezed into the EU. He did that.
I didn’t know. Thanks.

“Is this a church?”
No, it’s a grotesque parody. This is a thoroughly nasty and evil cult. Feck off back to your bedrooms you perverts.
”Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it” seems to apply here. Nobody seems to look retrospectively, as if the history of their land is irrelevant and therefore does not apply to our present day predicament. How has mass migration worked out for us in the past?
”European countries in the 20th and 21st centuries have mortgaged their future with a series of individual decisions in what the historian Georges Bensoussan has defined as “the great demographic-migration shock”.
Sweden. In 1975 it introduced multiculturalism with the social democratic prime minister Olof Palme. Fast forward to 2014, when Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt called on fellow citizens to “open their hearts” to refugees from around the world: “I ask the Swedish people to be patient and supportive, in the long term we will create a better world.” In one year, Sweden welcomed 163,000 people. The equivalent of 1.6 percent of the total population. As if Italy had let in 600,000 migrants in a year. Sweden never recovered.
France. 1976 is the year of Valéry Giscard d’Estaing’s “family reunion”. The idea of bringing immigrant families seemed, at the time, natural and right. But with the massive increase in immigration from Muslim countries this has proven to be a fatal mistake. Raymond Barre suspended it for three years, before the Council of State annulled the decision, arguing that family reunification was “now part of the general principles of law”. It starts with the wife and her children, then come the wife’s parents, the other children of the wife’s parents and their children. And so on, in a demographic chain that has become repopulation.
Germany. Here, more than a date (31 August 2015), there is the slogan: “Wir schaffen das”. One million Muslim Syrians enter. Europe’s most powerful country told the others: “The EU’s external borders will not be defended.”

All courtesy of the WEF and deliberately intended to destroy Europe. It seems to be working.
Exactly, hux, and good morning, early bird! 🙂
More evidence here, which should surprise precisely nobody. I wonder what the stats are in other countries…It’s only Denmark that records crimes based on the criminals ethnicity.
”Last year, 69 percent of violent robberies and other violent crimes, including sexual assaults, on public transport in the greater Paris region of Île-de-France were perpetrated by foreign nationals, according to the annual figures of the SSMSI, the statistics bureau of the French Ministry of Interior.
However, looking closer at the data, it is revealed that Africans alone are responsible for 52 percent of such crimes while only representing 3.2 percent of the population of France.
Even for all of France, the data clearly shows that African nationals account for 42 percent of the above-mentioned types of crimes, way above their statistical weight within the French population.
Regarding crimes specific to public transport, the situation has actually not changed substantially over the years. The last time Remix News reported on such data in 2020, 69 percent of sexual assaults were committed by foreigners at that time as well.”
https://rmx.news/crime/france-foreigners-commit-69-of-robberies-violent-crimes-and-sexual-assaults-on-public-transport/
Good morning to you Mogs. Re the above – I doubt there would be much variance in those crime figures for any country in Europe.
Rubbish does what Rubbish is.

Given that the NHS is full of seriously stupid people – the Covid mob – it strikes me that spending 14 million would be more usefully deployed re-educating the staff on basic science and attempting to instil common sense. Simple things such as masks do F A, “vaccines” for respiratory viruses don’t work and certainly cannot be developed in six months rather than the usual 10-15 years. Nothing too taxing but beneficial – well for the public at least.
Some may be stupid, but some will not be as they realise it is a cash cow. The same with carbon credits. A whole industry and money making scam behind both of these sorts of things.
Spend it sacking ALL diversity “workers”

No shit Sherlock.
2mins of truth bombs from this doctor regarding concerns over what’s been found by independent researchers, that was undisclosed by Big Pharma, in these death jab vials. Link to the full presentation in the comments section. I’ll have to watch later…But she’s disagreeing with Dr Phillip, whom I shared yesterday, in that she can see something nefarious is afoot because none of this is normal is it?
”Question: “You said that this was nefarious, in what sense are you saying that?”
Dr Lindsay: “The SV40 sequences, they should not be there. They don’t need to be there to grow this in bacteria.
I don’t think it’s an accident. They could have chosen another plasmid that did NOT have the SV40 sequences.
If these sequences sit above an oncogene, and they are promiscuous, that means they are likely to integrate in places, more likely then other generic inserts. Then they can cause cancer.”

In lockstep with the EU, this now means that this ‘censorship charter’ will now pass into law.
Yeah I shared it yesterday, under some completely unrelated topic ( obvs ), and was surprised to see it not in the Round-up today. It’s pretty significant, after all.
LOL! Tomorrow’s round up then!??
And despite the so called consultation! Haha! I think we all have a duty to ignore bad laws but this one will affect the content we are used to seeing. I expect to see a lot of law suits coming out of this but the trouble is big tech really has us by the cohones. As we have seen, they can just wipe someone off the board.
However, we still have print media, posters, billboards, stickers, newsletters, leaflets, graffiti, meetings, soap boxes and so on. I am thinking of instigating a nationwide scheme of stickers to go in shop, care, bar, pub windows basically saying ‘We use cash’ or ‘We prefer cash’ or something like that. Anything whereby ‘they’ can’t fight us or will find it difficult. And we will have to just fight harder.
Print media is the rebellious option now.
Is this what the Russel Brand circus is designed to distract from??
Lampedusa now. In 5 days, 15,550 African immigrants landed in Lampedusa. This night in 30 minutes more 20 boats arrived with 1200, 500 in Crotone and NGOs unloaded 800. Total 18,050! Now more landings are underway in Lampedusa. Isn’t this an invasion?
https://twitter.com/RadioGenoa/status/1704385564877709643
…but Russel Brand……!!
The stupid annoying music aside, this is highly alarming. It is an invasion. Where are the Italian military. They should be rounding up these people and transporting them straight back to Africa. It is clear that these people did not simply find their way across the Sahara but were flown or bussed there in a coordinated way. Ordinary Africans would not have £7000 spare to pay for the trip. It is criminal being conducted by some international body or other like the UN for instance.
…other than a mass ‘event’ of a horrible nature…and I think it’s a When rather than if…..I can’t imagine what will make the buggers get of their arses…
Meloni has asked now for a blockade..but that’s admitting failure..and they’d rather we all died or started a war, than admit that. All the European Governments despise their populations…

Tim Ballard, the real life person behind the hit independent film ..Sound Of Freedom…
which was, for whatever reason, embraced by the right and vilified by the left (citing QAnon)….has just been ‘accused’ of sexual impropriety in the US…..coincidence??
(there really needs to be a tin-foil hat Emoji…LOL!)
LOL, I saw that too! Actually I don’t mean to laugh, it’s obviously not funny, but it seems that being accused of historical sex crimes has replaced the antisemitic slur, which replaced the anti-vaxxer slur, which replaced the right-wing slur, that replaced the racist slur…and on and on the clown show goes. It’d be laughable if it weren’t for these poor blokes being put through the wringer without a shred of evidence and the disgraceful knock-on effect this has for genuine victims thinking of coming forward. It’s like ‘the boy that cried wolf’ isn’t it? One day somebody will be genuinely guilty of such a crime but we’ll all just assume it’s bollocks because of all the bogus reports intended to smear and do a demolition job on somebody’s reputation that have gone before.
Yes..it’s getting a bit ridiculous..his ‘accusers’ are seven ‘anonymous’ women……!
As you have said before, and I agree this is not good for women with genuine grievances, it makes them all look like fame hungry fantasist money-grubbers….
As we’ve seen with the trans agenda, the parasite class doesn’t care about women. Just more collateral damage as they continue to try to impose their evil agenda.
There have been several others recently too – that US TV chap Masterson, plus a couple of other celebs who were asked for character witness statements on him are now being cancelled (Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis?). Glenn Greenwald recently mentioned a few US politicians I’d never heard of against whom this particular attack method has been used. Sex is an easy weapon of choice for The Establishment™: after all, it’s what took Winston and Julia down in 1984.
As I appear to have got my conspiracy hat on today …!….

Banijay UK Executive Chairman is Patrick Holland whose previous job was with the BBC as Controller of BBC 2 and Director Factual Arts and Classical Music..the BBC (the third head on the dog) are also ‘investigating’ Brand ……and asking people to come forward..
All highly suss in my opinion, but I rest my case and tin-foil hat m’lud…… LOL!!

“If anything, YouTube’s hasty defunding of Brand’s account reminds us just how wrong the conspiracy theorists have it. Our age is not one of sinister elite plots, but of never-ending elite hysteria …”

What a wonderful, cosy bubble this plonker must live in.
We are the conspiracy realists, Tom Slater and his ilk are the reality deniers. Obviously this chap is still asleep.
Indeed. Any “elite hysteria” is likely to be down to them getting worried that their plots are being discovered.
