Absolutely. Home office understaffed and those dealing with immigration woefully undertrained and recruited in haste. Seems managers overworked and some equally inept. Senior managers beyond redemption.

Yep. Step mother rode that exact journey. £200k burnt through. Mother in law currently in £10k per month home having burnt through savings and £250k flat sale. Just working down to her last £14k as local council have stepped in.

I used to be the area DI that covered Broadmoor. I had oversight of all crime committed inside. You really wouldn’t desire to be there, due to the risk posed by other inmates, despite best efforts of excellent security and nursing staff…

Don’t leave the car engine running outside the hotel in the morning. German police don’t like it! 😂

If you’re wondering why UK press has suddenly woken up to Farage, please read this. It’s because: Brexit. The r/w press refused to scrutinise the money behind Farage & the lawsuit against me scared off the rest. But this isn’t a new scandal. It’s the same one I’ve been reporting on for a decade

That young guy in the blue suit. I mean, where are his carers?

Hilarious. Nigel expected still? Do you have a second string to your fabulous lampooning bow?

Well, just coming to end of a two week holiday and just finished ‘Everybody Loves our Dollars’ on Audible. Illuminating and depressing in equal measure. Depressed because I feel I’m in a near exclusive group of well-informed readers. Our government isn’t one of them. Excellent book. Thank you. 👏🏻

Oooh!

It’s not Trump’s America by a long way but the Attorney General properly fucked up and then didn’t correct the fuck up. There is certainly a stink of self-serving politics in this.

The rush to recruit without effective vetting…

Ha ha ha… flakes the lot of them.

Might also be another contribution to private school roll numbers.

So wrong. Sourdough absolutely best toast. Ever!

Big tobacco funding…

Krakow city break before you return to Blighty? We did the Xmas run and the market was stunning but if you’ve not visited, the Auschwitz-Berkenau sites is a must do. Rather like the handover you’ll experience in Lviv. “Fuuuuck. Nooooo. This really happened?” The evil of Nazis. The evil of Putin.

Sam Freedman nailed it in his recent post “That last 40 minutes felt like watching a composite of a dozen other identical defeats. The crushing sense of inevitability...”

As ever, a succinct overview of a chaotic situation that its reckless, self-interested cause wouldn’t understand in a million years. That’s you Trump, Vance, Hegseth etc. You dangerous imbeciles.

Marmite bad for gout. 😎

63 and blagged every old fart concession I can Since turning 60. Most only kick in at 65/67. I think I look in pretty good shape so bit gutted I’ve never once been challenged.
