First, the coordinated plot to subvert democracy in the West by diluting national identity, installing a surveillance network, and impoverishing the masses to create a societal divide. Second, the pitting of Europe vs US and the propagandised fault lines that emerge from that confrontation. It’s almost like they want a civil war isn’t it?
The Trump administration almost certainly provides an answer. But to which question?

Britain really is in the deep doo doos. The Blairites are running foreign and defence policy..you know…the guys who always willed the mission but not the means…
Its like deja vu all over again.
Lord Macdonald:
‘UK armed forces are highly capable and can move at speed but they need to know precisely what is expected of them.’
He also said, in effect, that the Russian Army had proved to be a paper tiger. President Trump doesn’t seem to have read that particular brief.
‘McDonald was Principal Private Secretary to the Foreign Secretary 2001–03; Foreign Policy Adviser to the Prime Minister and Head of the Overseas and Defence Secretariat at the Cabinet Office 2007–10
McDonald recalled telling his private secretary on the morning of the referendum in 2016, “I really fear today our country is going to vote to leave the European Union”. He also revealed his office to be in “mourning” after the vote’
No, Lord Macdonald, UK armed forces are well short of being highly capable: nuclear weapons that don’t work, aircraft carriers without aircraft or state of the art AEW or sufficient air defence Type 45 destroyers, an armoured division that really isn’t, massive retention and morale problems. Sounds familiar? It should do. It’s been the same since 1990.
‘Britain can no longer be regarded as Tier One (the US, Russia, China and France) and is now closer to Germany or Italy: countries with a military, but not one that could achieve much if deployed. Even then, one US general told Wallace that ‘it’s barely Tier Two’. A Nato general from a European member state said the UK ‘can’t put a brigade in the field’ and that its kit is ‘falling apart’.’

‘Look at the British Army right now. I mean it makes me want to cry, almost’
Former US National Security Advisor, H.R. McMaster 07 Feb. 2025
No wonder the Prime Minister looks like a rabbit in the headlights. He’s just blown his little whistle and jumped out of the trenches, looked behind him and no-one is following!
He also said, in effect, that the Russian Army had proved to be a paper tiger.
Really? Ask any Ukrainian. If that is the level of British intelligence then also British intelligence has a huge problem.
And you are right about the deplorable state of British defence. USA was building nuclear-powered aircraft carriers that can circumnavigate the world without stopping while UK was proudly building its two non-nuclear powered aircraft carriers – I assume purely for environmental reasons – which now spend most of their time safely tucked up at home.
There needs to be far more control over defence spending and the suitability and effectiveness of the products.
They’re reaping a whirlwind in the world of cancer as a result of the vaccines
Piers Morgan on June 27, 2021: “The tragedy of refusing to take covid & vaccines seriously. Get the jab.
27 Jul 2021 — ‘Those who refuse to be vaccinated, with no medical reason not to, should be refused NHS care if they then catch covid.’
It’s a bit late now, Mr Morgan. You were part of the problem and there is no solution…..
Spot on
Not that I like him, but Piers Morgan is nevertheless better than the people who said much the same thing about the Covid vaccines at the time, but now refuse to change their minds and admit they were wrong.
Unlike the woke religion, Christianity (and some other religions) teaches forgiveness.
Maybe – however with Morgan I always have to think ‘why now’ with him… is it a ploy to boost the ratings of TalkTV, while his career slips away?
No, Christianity teaches forgiveness ONLY TO THOSE WHO SINCERELY REPENT and GO AND SIN NO MORE.
It teaches repentance, followed by forgiveness.
But if you keep committing the same sin again & again, then you have not sincerely repented, and do not deserve forgiveness or salvation.
The “Father of the Protestant Reformation”, Martin Luther, got into trouble with the Catholic church authorities for refusing to absolve people who confessed but did not sincerely repent their sins.
“Confession” can be a kind of boasting, without any kind of repentance.
not such a bad thing to suggest as there was no care provided. Ventilate and death pathway, when ivermectin was available elsewhere.
Saved me the job of responding.
“‘They’re reaping a whirlwind in the world of cancer as a result of the vaccines’” – On Piers Morgan Uncensored, Piers reveals how even top cancer experts are sounding the alarm on the long-term impact of mRNA vaccines.
Utterly shameless from the media twerp-extraordinaire, who this time 3 years ago was un-self-censored in pushing Get Vaccinated to the hilt…
https://www.businessinsider.com/piers-morgan-australia-novak-djokovic-covid-vaccine-visa-2022-1
“…Piers Morgan says Australia has ‘the right to chuck’ Novak Djokovic out the country over COVID vaccine visa issues.”
Yes, he is a twerp. You are right, he was pushing the vaccines.
But – he is only human. He can make mistakes. He admitted he was wrong. Let’s give him credit for publicizing the harm caused by the vaccines.
Morgan’s entire career is predicated on being paid a fat salary to push the glib cliche of the moment and to spout on matters he doesn’t have an underlying clue about.
“We had no such thing as printed newspapers in those days to spread rumours and reports of things, and to improve them by the invention of men, as I have lived to see practised since.”
Daniel Defoe, preamble to “A Journal of the Plague Year” (1723)
And I’d say his career is certainly past its peak, based on his current gig…
“The ‘human rights’ regime has flipped democracy on its head” – Britain’s migration policy has fallen into the hands of an arrogant, anti-democratic judiciary, says Fraser Myers in Spiked.
Concise opening exemplification of the Case for the Prosecution against the judiciary as Pillars of the Enemy Within:
“If someone is in Britain illegally, should a history of persistently sexually harassing women make it easier or harder for him to stay in the country? Should joining a terror group, or being a paedophile, bolster or hinder an asylum claim? Incredibly, Britain’s immigration judges have found themselves on the wrong side of all of these questions. The result is a migration policy that is not only dysfunctional and at odds with public opinion, but bordering on the deranged, too.”
Guilty as charged. Take them down.

Just as Putin will not want to be remembered by history as ‘Vladimir the underpants poisoner, so President Trump will not want to be remembered as the author of the biggest U.S. foreign policy debacle since Saigon 1975, bigger, even, than Kabul 2021.
‘The U.S. president’s proposed deal to end the war in Ukraine “comes pretty close to surrender”
John Bolton, U.S. former National Security Advisor
Only nations at war can surrender. We have been assured throughout that the USA and Europe are non-participants.
Why not make that point to Mr Bolton?
Let us know how you get on.
Saigon wasn’t a surrender either.
But debacle it most certainly was.
My point, really, is that you ain’t seen nuthin yet.
This posturing is all part of the scoping out of positions.
President Trump is bold….but the positions of all the protagonists remain too far apart for any deal, in my view.
John Bolton is one of many US war-mongering ‘hawks’ who is better completely ignored. USA has started so many wars world-wide: can you name one which has left the world in a better state?
The world is quite rightly tired of supreme master countries determining the fate of others. Just what is USA doing in Ukraine, 6,000 miles away from its borders? Serving the betterment of the world or serving itself? Ditto UK and EU, even if they are geographically closer.
If Ukraine kills its own citizens because they speak the Russian language and if Ukraine threatens to have NATO missiles placed along its border to Russia, all pointed at that country, then Ukraine can expect a corresponding response from Russia.
Ukraine had never been threatened by Russia, on the contrary …
Throughout the difficult 1990’s and in the new millennium, we have provided considerable support to Ukraine. Whatever ”political arithmetic“ of its own Kiev may wish to apply, in 1991–2013, Ukraine’s budget savings amounted to more than USD 82 billion, while today, it holds on to the mere USD 1.5 billion of Russian payments for gas transit to Europe. If economic ties between our countries had been retained, Ukraine would enjoy the benefit of tens of billions of dollars.
Ukraine and Russia have developed as a single economic system over decades and centuries. The profound cooperation we had 30 years ago is an example for the European Union to look up to. We are natural complementary economic partners. Such a close relationship can strengthen competitive advantages, increasing the potential of both countries.
Ukraine used to possess great potential, which included powerful infrastructure, gas transportation system, advanced shipbuilding, aviation, rocket and instrument engineering industries, as well as world-class scientific, design and engineering schools. Taking over this legacy and declaring independence, Ukrainian leaders promised that the Ukrainian economy would be one of the leading ones and the standard of living would be among the best in Europe.
Today, high-tech industrial giants that were once the pride of Ukraine and the entire Union, are sinking. Engineering output has dropped by 42 per cent over ten years. The scale of deindustrialization and overall economic degradation is visible in Ukraine’s electricity production, which has seen a nearly two-time decrease in 30 years. Finally, according to IMF reports, in 2019, before the coronavirus pandemic broke out, Ukraine’s GDP per capita had been below USD 4 thousand. This is less than in the Republic of Albania, the Republic of Moldova, or unrecognized Kosovo. Nowadays, Ukraine is Europe’s poorest country.
(Vladimir Putin in July 2021: http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/66181.)
‘I can think of no better time to have returned to Kuwait than on this tenth anniversary of the liberation of the Kuwaiti people.
I am pleased to be here with President George Bush, the liberator, General Norman Schwarzkopf and so many other representatives of the political, diplomatic and military coalition that came together, that fought together and demonstrated to the world that aggression would not stand.
Ten years ago, we stood together.
Ours was a noble cause.
It still is.
And we stand together again in that cause today as coalition members still pledged to guard against aggression.
Today, Kuwait occupies its rightful place among the nations of the region and of the world.
It is free.
It is prosperous.
And it has a wealth of friends and allies’
President Trump will want to make a similar speech. Maybe he will, in time.
What a mess and what an absolute tragedy.
‘War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength.’
Wherever oil is to be found, US troops are never far away. It is unusual that USA never invaded Saudi Arabia but maybe they thought it would be helpful to have at least one ally in the area.
https://archive.globalpolicy.org/iraq-conflict-the-historical-background-/us-and-british-support-for-huss-regime.html:
US intelligence helped Saddam’s Ba`ath Party seize power for the first time in 1963. Evidence suggests that Saddam was on the CIA payroll as early as 1959, when he participated in a failed assassination attempt against Iraqi strongman Abd al-Karim Qassem. In the 1980s, the US and Britain backed Saddam in the war against Iran, giving Iraq arms, money, satellite intelligence, and even chemical & bio-weapon precursors. As many as 90 US military advisors supported Iraqi forces and helped pick targets for Iraqi air and missile attacks.
https://foreignpolicy.com/2013/08/26/exclusive-cia-files-prove-america-helped-saddam-as-he-gassed-iran/:
Exclusive: CIA Files Prove America Helped Saddam as He Gassed Iran.
The U.S. knew Hussein was launching some of the worst chemical attacks in history — and still gave him a hand.
https://www.proquest.com/docview/213485200?sourcetype=Scholarly Journals
U.S. forces in Baghdad might now be searching high and low for Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, but in the past Saddam was seen by U.S. intelligence services as a bulwark of anti-communism and they used him as their instrument for more than 40 years, according to former U.S. intelligence diplomats and intelligence officials.
And then things got out of hand, Saddam started doing ‘his own thing’ and so had to be ‘taken out’. USA came up with the idea of searching for WMDs, Weapons of Mass Destruction, and off they (and we) went.
And how many millions of innocent civilians died for this about-face in a US/CIA policy?
I believe that this year we will reach a ceasefire regime. How long and effective it will be is another question.” – Budanov
Let’s hope so but an actual end to the war?
Unlikely.
“I was taken prisoner in May 2022, and we ended up in the so-called colony in the settlement of Olenivka, in the occupied Donetsk region. First of all, we were stripped, and the woman inserted her fingers into my vagina.
After that, they led us, girls, to the other colony workers, who also forced us to undress.
“We could hear the men being raped in the corridor of the isolator. They were raped in unnatural ways,” a former Ukrainian Prisoner of War (PoW) recounted.
“After our transfer to Taganrog [in Russia], we were forced to undress right in the corridor, where there were many male guards. There were frequent threats of sexual violence — the female guards threatened to call a convoy that would rape us.”
There have been numerous harrowing reports from prisoners of war held by the Kremlin. For many survivors, the trauma and dehumanization they endured make it impossible to revisit these memories, often silencing them altogether.
A report from the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) revealed that 39 out of 60 male prisoners of war it had interviewed said they were subjected to sexual violence during their internment.
The report further details threats of rape, castration, and beatings, also highlighting repeated forced nudity and other forms of torture, including interrogations and checks for patriotic tattoos, which were often forcibly scraped off.
In Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, sexual violence has been weaponized as a tool against prisoners of war.
https://cepa.org/article/the-plague-of-sexual-violence-against-ukraines-prisoners-of-war/
Sorry but both of your cited reports reek of bias, sadly also the UN report.
War is war and crimes will be committed on both sides, especially when soldiers are under pressure of combat. But paragraph after paragraph of the UN report is devoted to attacks on Ukraine or Ukrainians, whereby only single or a handful of paragraphs are devoted to Russian equivalents. Under ‘Technical Cooperation and Capacity-Building’, it is stated that OHCR has engaged with various representatives of the Ukrainian government but there is no mention of any contact to the Russian government. Why not?
It closes off with recommending Russia “Immediately cease its use of armed force against Ukraine and withdraw its military forces from the territory of Ukraine”. Considering this is supposed to be (or maybe not?) an unbiased ‘Report on the Human Rights Situation in Ukraine’, it is shameful that none of the past violations of Ukraine leading up to the SMO are mentioned, nor the recent atrocities performed by the UAF in the Kursk region which, agreed is not part of Ukraine, but still …

Ukrainian women taken as prisoners of war are being tortured and humiliated by Russian soldiers in a systematic campaign of abuse, survivors have revealed.
We are only scratching the surface of state waste
The Modus Operandi of the public sector, when asked to make ‘efficiency savings’ is to chop frontline services whilst hanging on to the massive bureaucracies that caused the hopeless mire of petifogging box ticking in the first place.
The U.S. DOGE will do it differently. The two top tiers of management will be ‘let go’ and front line staff will be encouraged to recommend efficiencies.
‘In a late-night companywide email announcing the layoffs, Musk also called for the resignation of any Tesla executive with more than three direct reports who “don’t obviously pass the excellent, necessary and trustworthy test.”
‘The genius of Musk is how he’s able to break down a large goal into smaller achievable steps, working towards them with laser focus.’
Musk also sent a memo in 2018 advising Tesla employees to “walk out of a meeting or drop off a call as soon as it is obvious you aren’t adding value,”
“In one instance, a government customer came in with a 50-slide deck,” Peters said. “Six slides into the presentation, 75% of the room had walked out. I had to tell him that if he didn’t get to the point, I’d be the only person left in the room — and only because I had to walk him out. He skipped ahead to his last five slides. That kind of environment makes you much more efficient.”
‘Tesla’s “Anti-Handbook Handbook” says “If you see opportunities to improve the way we do things, speak up even if these are outside your area of responsibility. You have a personal stake in Tesla’s success so make suggestions and share your ideas. Your good ideas mean nothing if you keep them to yourself.”
In 2018, Musk said he spent nights sleeping on a couch and the floor at Tesla factories while the company ramped up production on the Model 3 sedan.
“The reason I slept on the floor was not because I couldn’t go across the road and be at a hotel,” he told Bloomberg. “It was because I wanted my circumstances to be worse than anyone else at the company. Whenever they felt pain, I wanted mine to be worse.”
https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-efficiency-companies-tesla-spacex-x-2024-11#former-space-x-employees-have-also-described-a-work-environment-where-efficiency-reigns-supreme-7
Hmmm…..both Tesla and X are in trouble….I think it may be something to do with Mr Musk cancelling free lunches…….a rare misstep……
The local councils drive me round the twist. Take for example the road maintenance – used to be council staff, using council assets, managed by council managers. Then – some bright spark says let’s outsource this, as it’s cheaper. Council staff on the tools TUPE over to contractor, kit possibly sold, but more likely written off as contractor can now lease all new shiny stuff because of the contract income. Many of the council managers however remain, to ‘manage the service’.
My first challenge would be right at the start – how in the name of all that’s holy can a business run this service cheaper than a council? – a business that needs to make a profit vs a council that doesn’t. Obvious answer must be ‘efficiency’ – ok, so why aren’t the council managers set targets to be just as efficient in-house? What’s blocking them, apart perhaps from not being very good at their jobs?
Second challenge – if the service is outsourced, then virtually all management has to go (fired or tupe) as well, there is no need for both – that’s a worst of both worlds.
Third challenge – quality. Why do we pay repeatedly for shoddy half assed workmanship? If you’ve outsourced it all – tell contractors they’ll only get paid 6 months after a repair, if it’s still in place. Performance and quality will improve overnight. If we don’t work like this, why in the hell not? – surely it’s a benefit of outsourcing to enable this commercial / quality alignment that may not have been possible with internal workers (I’d question that as well, another sign of bad management accepting low standards, not setting clear standards in my view). Again a reason may be a half arsed job IS allowed… so who signs off that waste of money, and why? What possible successful strategy and outcome is that aligned to driving delivery for tax payers (the councils customers).
rant over (for now!)
While there has been understandable focus on the US DOGE, we should not forget what Milei is doing in Argentina.
Of the 18 full ministries he inherited, more than half of them have been either dissolved completely or downgraded: Ministries of the Argentine Republic – Wikipedia
“across-the-board deregulation of the economy, bureaucratic reform, state reform, labor reform, public health reform, changes in foreign trade policy, and additional reforms that allow greater contractual freedom.’
There is a cracking blueprint there for any British political party that wants to make a real difference and there will be some talented individuals in Argentina available for hire in, say, four years time to assist with planning and implementation.
The Augean stables of Whitehall/Westminster beckons.
I really hope Milei makes a success of this and that the success is recognised.
Well done for remembering President Milei’s phenomenal success in the face of all opposition from the Globalist Communists.
He shows it can be done if you have the balls
Yes, like when he brandishes his chainsaw in defiance of the Globalists! He’s a rough diamond, but a diamond nonetheless.
Indeed – but also a well educated man, who seems to understand economics – something that is apparently beyond our present government.
Yes, he certainly is a well-educated man who understands economics. But economists are not usually brandishing chainsaws to make their point, and that’s what makes him unique.
His passion for freedom and against socialism seems genuine

How Dominic Cummings tried to help Jeremy Corbyn become prime minister
He was a lockdown enthusiast. No thanks!
Yes, what a hypocrite he was then! Remember this?
Dominic Cummings: Did he break lockdown rules? – BBC News
“UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s most senior adviser, Dominic Cummings, has said he acted reasonably and legally after driving 260 miles from his home to Durham during lockdown.”
Testing his eyesight.
Oh, I forgot about that eyesight excuse!
It was the only time I got what looked like a real reply to an email from my useless MP. All the others, to emails from me asking about the validity of lockdowns etc, just got Tory party central office template replies but the one about Cummings seemed like she wrote it – she was a covidian and wanted him sacked. Useless.
”Yes, what a hypocrite he was then!” Hahahahahaha
”Pot”, ”kettle”, ”black”, much? Tell me, what was your version of ”free speech” again? Because it seems to vary a bit from everybody else’s understanding of the term…
Sinister news today about the Reform UK Party, which Nigel has effectively handed over to PAKISTANI MUSLIM MILLIONAIRE YUSUF in a classic BAIT & SWITCH:
Nigel Farage ‘hands ownership of Reform to members’, says party
“Records filed with Companies House show that Mr Farage, Mr Tice and former party treasurer Mehrtash Azami no longer have any shares in Reform Party UK Ltd.”
“Instead, a new limited company, Reform 2025 Ltd is listed as being in ‘significant control’ of it [the Reform UK Party], holding all 15 shares.”
“Reform 2025 Ltd HAS TWO DIRECTORS, according to Companies House –
MR. FARAGE & MR. YUSUF.”
“Its address is listed as the party’s offices at 124 City Road, East London. It says there will be “no persons with significant control”.”
Now watch the party membership soar as Yusuf signs up masses of his fellow Pakistani Muslims as new members, who will “control” the party, and vote him in as Leader, thus commandeering the only viable alternative party Indigenous British People and Patriots can vote for. Do you see now why Nigel threw Tommy under a bus?
Please, people, do not be deceived by yet another massive betrayal of trust.

Wooden bottles? FGS! When I eat out, I don’t want food served on wooden blocks or planks. Neither do I want slates or roofing tiles used as a platter. I want – and expect – a real plate! I make a point of saying I want my food served correctly on a plate. If they can’t oblige, I walk out! No way do I now want to argue about wooden bottles!
I enjoyed the exploits of Fred and Wilma Flintstone but I don’t want to emulate their lifestyle.
So funny!
I thought it was just me who’d like a plate, try to remain at the level we’ve evolved to vs a slate or a bit of old pallet. It shows the double standards – environmental health would go mad if they found any wooden surfaces in prep area of a commercial kitchen, yet it’s fine to serve food on planks of wood used thousands of times?
Yes, and any liquid stored in a wooden bottle will soak into it and be impossible to remove without a sandblaster.
A wooden bottle – can these people even hear themselves!?! They had a discussion and discounted glass, plastic, metal etc…. And ended up on…. Wood! Argh god give me strength… it’s been one of those days
It’s really a pet hate of mine, food served on anything but a proper plate.
