The tory domination of the BBC remains one of the biggest dangers to UK democracy, or whats left of it.

Threatening to shamelessly appoint another one of their partial-thinking Tory cronies in charge of the BBC esp after Sharp's previous farcical appointment as Chairman!? Any fool can see that an independently appointed candidate should be the way to do this, but not perceived by these shameless bastards!!! They just continue regardless with their corrupt, fascist nonsense and lets ignore smiley, smiley Sunak and what deceptive c#### like him and the rest of his cabal are about and keep voting against them as in the recent English local elections where it has become apparent in many regions of England (incl the red wall areas) that they are despised by huge numbers of voters who are ensuring that their vote deservedly brings them down. Long may it continue although the political alternatives are not exactly awe-inspiring TBF!!

Gerrymandering??? Of course, it's another attempt to influence a vote in an outdated FPTP electoral system that favours political parties like Rees-Mogg's Tory party. Will this crass move be reversed??? No chance, not even by the red-Tory Labour Party and Starmer. Don't forget the Boundary Commission is gonna amend the constituency regional allocation as well in a similar attempt to gain more Tory seats. How depressing this state of affairs is becoming and one can only hope this ploy will backfire on these undemocratic, unconstitutional morons as well.

Thank god somebody is talking about this week's disgraceful National Conservatism conference in London and slamming into these fascist crackpots with their vicious RW narratives against vulnerable people and other targets that these morons vilify and criticise with impunity. There is so much despicable and unacceptable shit being spouted by these RW nut jobs, where does one start. One target for me is that mentally deranged historian, David Starkey. This is a man who is clearly intelligent, but he definitely has a screw loose in his head and it has been loose for years - never clapped eyes on Starkey for a long time and thank god for that blessing!! A horrible miscreant of an individual who always gave me the impression he generally hated people and life itself, definitely mentally disturbed in some way - his extreme and irrational behaviour clearly exposed a "problem". He found an audience this week to utter his extreme opinions as I reckon most media agencies won't "touch him with a bargepole". Here's an example of this man's vile, extreme views - quote: Black lives matter was an attempt to destroy 'white culture'!!? Or another claim that the hated left-wingers in this country are "jealous" of the holocaust and what it represents??? Nuts!!

Did you know that GB is one of the biggest money-laundering havens in the world. Faced with the choice between making it easy for money launderers and criminals to spend their money in London and the long-term global benefits of integrity, Britain has always kept the dirty money and that goes along with party political donations as well. Reckoned to be about £99B pa, it buys "blind eyes", is hardly policed (deliberate lack of proper resources!) and is corrupt as f###! Note Suspicious Activity Reports succeeded in stopping 1% of illicit funds, reckoned to be about £100B, that passes through the UK every year. So for every £100B of dirty money, £99B of dodgy money washes through the UK annually. Add that to a recent quote by a headmaster named Andrew Halls who commented that, "Britain's private schools are finishing schools for the children of Russian oligarchs"; a guy called Max Bergman (an ex Obama-US gov official) also said, "Uprooting Kremlin-linked oligarchs will be a challenge, given the close ties between Russian money and Britain's ruling Conservative Party, the press, and its real estate and financial industry" - ALL PART OF WHAT IS NOW BROKEN BREXIT BRITAIN!!!

That whole "eat out to help out" was absolute madness and is finally going to come under the microscope.

Was the scheme instigated at the behest of Wetherspoons' Tory donor/owner Tim Martin? It certainly was the cause of a spike in Covid infections.

Thats a good shout Ritchie. Maybe you are right, it was certainly a bonkers idea.

Tory donors "all over the place" TBF!!! Totally out of control btw and where does collusion and corruption end???? Eg Offord, now Lord Offord, an unelected rich boy (failed in East Lothian) who gave lotsa money to the Tory party and given a ridiculous "crony's peerage" by another chancer, Johnson, to get him "in the back door" as one of Alistair Jack's Scot office officials. It transpires he has 900k shares in the whisky and beer industry and a huge interest in a Borders distillery - a "conflict of interest" surely - part of Viceroy Jack's team scuppering the Scot govt's DRS scheme (in which Jack brazenly and bizarrely disnae wanna include glass, contrary to their own Tory 2019 manifesto that included glass!!!). Also questions raised re the WSTA's (Wine and Spirit Trade Association) sudden donation of £20k well after that manifesto commitment was made?? The WSTA is one of the opponents of the Scot govt's DRS scheme that was democratically debated and cross-party approved in the Scottish Parliament.

The so called inquest into Russian interference (or interests) into the last UK elections is still laid to rest amongst the dandelions in the gardens of 10 Downing Street, or maybe Horse Guards parade, just over the wall. Wouldn't surprise me to find that as many Ukraine oligarchs as Russian oligarchs were funding the Tory party at the time and maybe still are.
They all made a packet when the USSR broke up into what it is now and they all found a safe haven in the UK money laundries and the Russians also found one in the USA (under Trump) to launder their ill gotten gains. Trump has been after Biden's son because of his links to Ukraine and their money whilst conveniently ignoring the erm, backing? he's received from the Kremlin friendly oligarchs to keep many of his businesses afloat. Not to mention his runs at becoming POTUS (and again?).
