    Ah, the Fabian Society... here's its logo, a wolf in sheep's clothing. We all know what that expression means.

    What a grotesque ritual.

    Is there a google translation to what all that really meant, or should I just go with what I think I heard ?

    Beyond the obvious red flag ( Support Ukraine becoming a NATO member ) I heard several double speak threats to my liberty and well being.

    .

    George can't go into details but this case is about election fraud and the Labour Candidate who had a narrow win against George and the Workers Party... (13,027 Lab.... 11,587 Workers Party)

    What's the betting this is something to do with postal votes...?

    Police are investigating whether George’s Rochdale election was stolen(1:07)

    Yes it was for me too but perhaps in a slightly different way.

    That the Parliamentary mind control jettisoned him isn't the end of Andrew it's the end of the beginning of Andrew. He's going to go on to very much greater things.

    The root of my own disappointment was the overnight shock of realising the fight in Britain is only just getting going. I'm so used to being plugged in to the state of play in America that coming down with a British bump on July 5th stung my heart.

    Here we are with a Disneyland royalty encased in secret society corruption, ritual and infantile sycophants straining to get fake disingenuous praise from a head bending parent who only values broken obedient servants and muses.

    We've got a long way to go, and I'm tired and running out of time. I so wanted to see it all the way to the downfall of the cult.

    I asked one of my brothers a couple of years ago, "don't you want to see it all the way to the end?". He said, naaaa, I've never liked movies anyway.

    Rachel Reeves - Budget Responsibility Bill

    From 2:20 Rachel Reeves talks about the chaos caused by the conservative government during the pandemic, citing the billions of £ (wasted) on PPE, and today she's appointing a Covid Corruption Commissioner to investigate the matter It would be great to get taxpayer's money back, as suggested by the Labour MP for York Outer, although realistically it's highly unlikely.

    This (from 20 minutes 36 minutes of this podcast) is a couple of weeks old, it's from July 8th ( only 4 days after the election ). It's an interesting post mortem that penetrates past the skin deep stuff. It's the most insightful post election summary of the political state we are in I've heard so far.

    I'll be listening out for more Crypto Rich wherever I can find him.

    "Nigel Farage is the Leader of Reform UK and newly-elected Member of Parliament (MP) for Clacton. As the leader of UKIP (the UK Independence Party) he was the most influential voice in bringing about the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union. He went on to lead the Brexit Party in order to advocate for a no-deal Brexit. He had previously served as a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) for South East England from 1999 until 2020."

    Default Re: UK General Election 2024, and its aftermath

    Some of you might be interested in seeing some of the accommodation the UK government is living in at our, taxpayers, expense. This list is not conclusive:

    10 Downing Street and
    Chequers
    Home of The Prime Minister, Sir Kier Starmer



    11 Downing Street and
    Dorneywood
    Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rachel Reeves



    Chevening House
    Foreign Secretary, David Lammy



    Secretary of Defence, John Healy
    1 Carlton Gardens

    • 12 Downing Street: The costs associated with this residence, when used, are also paid for by taxpayers.
    • Lancaster House: As a venue for official functions, its maintenance is funded by the taxpayer, though it is not a residence.
    • Houghton Hall: If used for official purposes, costs associated with hosting events at Houghton Hall would be covered by public funds, though it is not a government residence.
    • Admiralty House: Used for official functions, its running costs are also covered by the taxpayer.
    • The Old Admiralty Building: Similar to Lancaster House and Admiralty House, costs for events and functions are funded by public money.
    • Hillsborough Castle: The maintenance and running costs are covered by public funds, as it is the official residence of the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland.

    In addition Parliament also has the same holidays as schools, no doubt because they work SO HARD:
    1. Summer Recess: Typically from late July to early September. This is the longest break in the parliamentary calendar.
    2. Christmas Recess: Usually from mid to late December until early January. This recess generally covers the Christmas and New Year period.
    3. Easter Recess: Generally a break of around two weeks, occurring in late March or early April.
    4. Whitsun Recess: Usually a short break of about a week, occurring around late May or early June

    As of 15th March 2024, Currently, (the PM) receives an additional £75,440 as prime minister, on top of his MP's salary, taking his total pay from April to £166,786. Cabinet ministers get an extra £67,505 on top of their MP's pay, ministers of state £31,680, and the most junior ministers £22,375.15 Mar 2024.

    The basic annual salary of a Member of Parliament (MP) in the House of Commons is £91,346, plus expenses, from April 2024. In addition, MPs are able to claim allowances to cover the costs of running an office and employing staff, and maintaining a constituency residence or a residence in London.
