"The sight of thousands of European Union flags at the Last Night of the Proms has prompted outrage from Brexiters. Those waving the EU flag in the Royal Albert Hall appeared to outnumber those waving the union flag at the event"

Everything today is woke, they want to cancel everything, bleat the righties

or

“BBC must investigate how so many EU flags were waved & on display at The Last Night of the Proms. Disgraceful & misguided BBC messing up a British tradition"

Only in the crazed, paranoid mind of the rightie would you imagine that the BBC was responsible for deciding who waves what flags. The Last Night has always seen a plethora of non Union Jacks on display. So why now the blub Could it be that the bigots don't want it seen they are now in the minority ? Much as the diminutive Sunak has been at the G20 in India.

What part will the now isolated UK play in the Partnership for Global Infrastructure Investment ?

Where is the much talked about UK/India trade deal ? Supposedly agreed and signed last October. Shunted to one side, as with the 'bigly' UK/US deal supposed to be signed the day after the UK formally left the EU ?

Where once the UK sat at the top table, and would have had a say in the above agreement, it is now having to accept terms dictated to it by third world countries. Out of 72 trade deals since brexit. 69 have been rollovers of previous EU deals. Of the other 3

"Former Proud Boys Chairman Enrique Tarrio was sentenced to 22 years in prison for seditious conspiracy and leading a failed plot to prevent the transfer of power from Donald Trump to Joe Biden. "

It appears insurrection does not pay, as another fascist is jailed

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-66676581

Joe Biggs, a leader of the Proud Boys who led the far-right organization’s infamous march to the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, has been sentenced to 17 years in prison

Marine veteran Zachary Rehl, the president of his local Philadelphia chapter of the organization, was later sentenced to 15 years.

Enrique Tarrio, whose sentencing was abruptly postponed on Wednesday. His sentencing is now scheduled to take place next week. Prosecutors are seeking a 33-year sentence.

Another prominent participant in the riot, Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes, was sentenced to 18 years in prison in May.


“Our Constitution and laws give you so many important rights that Americans have fought and died for” District Judge Timothy Kelly said in handing down the sentence to Biggs. “People around the world would give anything for these rights.”

Had they committed these acts, in the sort of country they tried to bring about, they would have been facing a certain, and swift, death penalty.

Trump, the new Capone ?
at 23:35 14 Aug 2023

"Fulton County have been investigating the efforts to overturn Mr Trump's defeat in the closely-contested state in the 2020 election.

US media reports suggest the district attorney's office could be pursuing racketeering charges that implicate several people in a sprawling election subversion conspiracy, with Mr Trump as the alleged ringleader."


The orange faced crook is already facing 78 criminal charges across three cases. This charge if pressed takes things up to a whole new level. Whereby it holds the 'guiding hand' responsible for what the underlings did. There seems now no question that a serious attempt was made to over turn the election result in Trumps favour. The question is just how complicit in that activity was he ? And now, how widespread it was.

" new evidence has slowly been uncovered about the role of Trump’s attorneys, the operatives they hired and how the breach, as well as others like it in other key states, factored into broader plans for overturning the election. "

This crook knows exactly what he did. What he doesn't know is how much the prosecution knows. Though he does know they are finding out more by the week, if not the day.

Perhaps they could re-open Alcatraz - the Bird Brain Man of Alcatraz

Wilco, who's next ?

Others to follow.

It would be a shame to lose them, as like some old fashioned 'ironmongers' they always had what you wanted. Perhaps that is their downfall. Carrying too much stock that had a low turnover.

Shops like this can no longer compete for price with the internet on things that are not for immediate use. To serve 30m or so customers, Amazon need a couple of warehouse. Wilco need 400 shops serving far fewer customers.

The shelves had looked half empty for months. I guess suppliers removed the '30 day payment' and wanted C.O.D.

"I don't think we'll see Wilko disappear from the High Street, because it's such a well-loved brand and shoppers hold it in high regard."

Lets hope.

Another brexit climb down
at 17:19 3 Aug 2023

UK Brexit checks on fresh food from EU delayed for fifth time

But wait, cry the brexiters, there must be some good news. There is. For EU exporters to the UK.

Before Brexit, UK exporters could send chilled and fresh food to the EU without any paperwork. Now, British exporters of fish and other fresh goods are in chaos with a lack of customs agents and veterinary staff to certify whether the produce complied with EU standards.

Brexit thickos might care to ask what checks have been imposed on EU exporters to the UK since Brexit. None. Absolutely none, not a sausage (pun intended). So Brexit has heaped piles of red tape, cost and delay on the UK companies while leaving EU companies a free hand. Nice one, thickos.

Now some might wonder why those naughty EU types are not being checked. Two reasons is the thought.

One, as the Stick -Insect pointed out(July 22) the checks would add further costs to UK food bill. The second is the thought that it is pretty pointless building the infrastructure when it will not be needed in a few years hence - UK back in the EU.

Ah, bleat the thickos, hindsight. No. It was known that leaving the EU would lead to higher food prices. Why would any country offer stuff cheaper just because the UK was out of the EU ? In fact, it was always going to be the opposite, as deals with Aus/NZ have shown.

We send food to the EU unrestricted, why not impose huge costs on those exports

Maybe that's what should have been written on the side of that bus.

It's the fault of the NHS staff

Apparently

T-he prime miniature claimed to day that consultants and junior doctors are to blame, for the increase in waiting times, because they won't accept a real terms pay cut.

A desperate lie from a weasel worded little tu rd.

Him and his fellow sh ytehawks have overseen years of constant cuts. They have blocked the recruitment of the much needed medical staff, and when the consequences of that hit home, he blames the staff who remain.

What next ? Treasury workers to blame for inflation ? People crapping too frequently for the failing sewage system ?

Like Johnson, another entitled little pri ck who cannot face criticism and so blames everyone else.

The slow walk back continues
at 15:53 1 Aug 2023

As I have previously stated, the UK's return to the EU will not be a result of any referendim, but a response to the needs of UK businesses and the economy as a whole

In that light we now have -"The UK will retain the EU’s product safety mark indefinitely, in the latest climbdown from proposed post-Brexit changes, after the government bowed to pressure from industry and manufacturers."

another huge cost brexiters tried to heap on UK businesses

The brexiters wanted UK businesses to pay for a new and costly UK safety mark, which would not be recognised in the EU, meaning the UK would still have to use the EU mark.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/aug/01/uk-eu-safety-mark-brexit-climbd

Meanwhile, checks on imports have been delayed four time. The last in Aug 2022 when the not too bright stick insect announced the delay to avoid further costs being heaped on consumers and importers (bit of a brexit clue there, Sticky)

But fear not, Sticky and his jolly old chums are not to be beaten in their desire to impose costs and delays on the UK - this time, food imports

"under the government’s border target operating model (TOM) proposals, a charge of between £20 and £43 – known as the “common user charge” – will be levied on each consignment of food or plant imports arriving in the UK from January, whether or not they need to be checked."

Under the naughty EU, small importers could have any checks made and paid as one load (groupage). That will no longer apply, and each separate iten type will be charged. More UK imposed brexit bureaucracy and cost.

Maybe the UK will yet again fall in line with the EU, so as to speed things up. Though I can only wonder what the reaction of the thickos will be to the new EES* passport controls due to come into effect late Autumn 2023



* "The system will register the traveller’s name, biometric data, and the date and place of entry and exit. Facial scans and fingerprint data will be retained for three years after each trip."
