@domdyer70 Unfortunately the Civil Service in this country appears now to be anything but Civil and the Public Sector seem to be mostly about private gain. How did we get here?
Oh bloody marvellous!
We’ve paid SIX times the normal price for our imported energy because it’s hot!!
So after Ed told us solar and wind would be cheaper and give us energy security and after spending £ HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS on subsidies, a hot week in June brings us to £470 per megawatt hour instead of £71.
It’s completely out of control now 🤡
WELL DONE MILLIBAND JUST WONDERFUL!
Over a thousand wind turbines across Britain contain banned ASBESTOS in brake parts supplied by Chinese manufacturers .
The chrysotile asbestos banned in Britain since 1999 was found in lift and hoist brakes . A major and very expensive ( paid by the taxpayer ) clean up operation is now underway with costs expected to be substantial .
Not forgetting if any of those brake pads broke and the asbestos got into the ground the fibres don't break down they would stay in the soil for a longtime making the land contaminated meaning it couldn't be disturbed with digging or grown on . Dangerous stuff if airborne
The GMB union is demanding full details from the government .
We’re being led by horrific, spiteful morons. Labour has announced that, from April 2027, interest on cash in Stocks and Shares ISAs will be taxed at 22%, and under-65s will only be able to put £12,000 a year in a cash Isa, down from £20,000.
In just 8 years, China pumped out more carbon emissions than Britain has produced in 250 years.
Net zero is wrecking our industry, and driving up our energy bills, but it's having zero impact on global climate.
It's time to scrap Net Zero for good.
Across Britain right now, farmers are shearing their sheep, bagging up the wool, and burning it. Some bury it. Some leave it to rot in a corner of the field. The wool-burning has made the odd headline as a protest, but the truth is duller and sadder. The fleece is worth less than the diesel it would take to haul it to the depot.
The numbers are grim. In recent years a kilo of British wool has fetched somewhere between twenty and sixty pence, and hill breeds like Swaledale and Welsh Mountain sank as low as ten. A whole fleece off a mountain ewe might bring thirty pence. Shearing that same ewe costs the farmer around two pounds. One Lincolnshire farmer added it up out loud: over three pounds to shear and cart a single fleece to the depot, and twenty-six pence back. So she burns them. A great many do.
Here is the part that stings. The shearing still has to happen, every year, whatever the wool will fetch. A sheep left in full fleece overheats, struggles to move, and gets eaten alive by maggots. So the job carries on purely as welfare, a cost the farmer simply eats to spare the animal, with the wool itself going on the fire straight after.
And think about what this fibre once was. For centuries wool was the engine of the English economy, the country's greatest export and the crown's main source of tax. It raised the soaring wool churches of the Cotswolds. It turned merchants into princes. To this day, whoever presides over the House of Lords sits on the Woolsack, a literal cushion of wool, put there in the fourteenth century so nobody would forget where the nation's wealth began.
Prices have lifted off the floor this past year, the first real relief in a long while. It still does not cover the shears for a hill farmer. The fibre that built England now smoulders in a heap behind the barn, and almost nobody notices the smoke.

Das ist die Bestie – dieser 30-jährige afghanische Migrant, der heute in Brierfield bei Burnley einer 17-jährigen Britin von hinten ein Messer in den Hals gerammt hat. Das Mädchen kämpft immer noch um ihr Leben, liegt in kritischem Zustand im Krankenhaus.
Es hört einfach nicht mehr auf😢
A farmer dies in April 2026.
His son inherits the farm. The farm has been in the family since 1847.
The farm consists of: 300 acres of grazing pasture, a farmhouse built in 1892, a barn, a milking parlour, two tractors of varying ages, a Land Rover that runs about 70% of the time, and a herd of 180 Hereford-cross cattle.
On paper, the farm is worth approximately £3.2 million. This is because land near him has been bought recently by a London hedge fund looking for carbon credits, which has dragged the comparable value of every field within forty miles upward to a number nobody local can justify.
In cash, the farm produces a profit of about £28,000 a year in a good year. In a bad year it loses money. The son also works as a fencing contractor three days a week to keep the operation viable.
The inheritance tax bill on a £3.2 million estate, even at the reduced 20% rate, comes to approximately £140,000 after the increased threshold is applied. The son does not have £140,000. The son has never had £140,000. The son has £4,200 in his current account and an overdraft.
The son sells 60 acres to a developer to pay the tax. The developer puts solar panels on the 60 acres. The remaining herd cannot be sustained on the reduced land. The herd is sold. The barn becomes a holiday let.
A different family eats Brazilian beef this Christmas without knowing why the price went up.
The Treasury collects £140,000.
The land never produces British food again.
It’s that time of year - folks asking us about #bumblebees - WHY THEY’RE SEEING THEM ON THE GROUND - so here’s a thread to explain.

@bphillipsonMP@Keir_Starmer No idea who may be your SPADS or social media team. Perhaps a performance review is in order. Please stop this. Many of the electorate are more educated than you are and guess what? We are not stupid like you think we are. Nobody paid for my child and nor would I expect them to

A quiet WFT scandal is emerging.
The NHS has just axed a £40.5 million scheme to train overseas doctors after an audit raised serious governance concerns.
But here’s the bigger problem, we have no idea what the total bill is.
There is no published figure for how much the NHS spends overall on training overseas doctors. And why the hell is this funding coming from the NHS when we turn down our own students every year?
If £40.5m is what we’ve noticed, what haven’t we?
