Good morrow, Gentlefolk. today’s story
Pay What’s Due“That’s right… and if I find a noodle in there, I ain’t paying her either!”
A guy goes into a diner and orders a bowl of soup. After a bit, the waitress looks over and the guy’s waving to her, looking real upset, so she goes over and asks him what’s wrong.
“What’s wrong? There’s a hair in my soup!”
The waitress looks and sure enough, there’s a hair laying on the edge of the bowl; the soup’s almost gone. “Well sir,” she says. “I’m sorry about that, but…”
The guy interrupts, shouting….”Hey, don’t give me any shit. There’s a hair in my soup… and I ain’t paying for it.”
With that, he gets up, storms out of the diner and goes into a whorehouse across the street.
Well, the more the waitress thinks about it, the madder she gets, realising the guy stiffed her for the soup. Pretty soon, she can’t stand it anymore and she rushes over to the whorehouse to find the guy and get her money. She finally finds him with one of the girls and he’s licking away at some hooker’s twat, buried up to his shoulders in her pussy! The waitress grabs him by the ankles and hauls him out of that pussy.
“You son of a bitch”, she says. “You wouldn’t pay for my soup ‘cos there was one hair in it, and I come in here and find you face down in a hooker’s pussy?”
The guy says,
Good morning, chums. Enjoy your day, it’s the last one in November!

GPs ought to have known that virtual appointments put patients at risk
For some reason the virtual appointment that came in during the pandemic is still the norm and I don’t think the old normal will ever return.
It’s a bit like when doctors stopped doing house visits.
I made the mistake (once) of hiring a field engineer without seeing him face-to-face, with telephone interview. His CV was excellent, covering the scope we wanted in a supervisory position, and working in Africa.
When we met him, I saw instantly that I’d made a mistake: and I was right about that, he nearly got us run off the contract. Instead, he was put on a plane and his sorry ass fired back to the UK.
Now, I never agree anything unless I either know the individual, or have a face-to-face meeting.
So, to diagnose somebody, how you can do it properly by video or phone, I don’t know.
One simple answer would be for shopkeepers, tradespeople, mechanics to reply in kind, when GPs need help.
ie GP to motor mechanic
Doctor: “The engine of my car is making strange noises”
Mechanic: “Turn the car radio up until you cannot here the noise”
Doctor “will that fix it?”
Mechanic “No, but it is what you do by increasing the dose of tablets, when I come to see you about a backpain!”
I did this, sent for an X-ray, had right hip replaced Two Weeks later. Luckily SWMBO had private health insurance with a job

“We don’t know where 17,000 rejected asylum seekers are, says Home Office deputy
Simon Ridley tells MPs he does not know whereabouts of most of asylum applicants whose cases have been withdrawn in past year
29 November 2023 • 10:29pm
Simon Ridley said: ‘In most cases, I don’t know where those people are’
Home Office mandarins have admitted that as many as 17,000 rejected asylum seekers are missing.
Simon Ridley, a senior civil servant, told MPs he did not know the whereabouts of most of the 17,316 asylum applicants whose cases have been withdrawn in the past year.
Mr Ridley, the second in command at the Home Office, was being questioned with his boss Sir Matthew Rycroft, the permanent secretary, over a quadrupling in the number of withdrawn asylum applications from 4,260 in the previous year.
The surge has led to claims they are being wiped off the list without being fully assessed to help meet Rishi Sunak’s target of clearing the “legacy” backlog of asylum cases older than June 2022 by the end of this year.
Reasons include failing to attend interviews or appointments and not filling in new fast-track questionnaires.
Once removed from the system, people are ineligible for the housing and financial support offered to destitute asylum seekers, with MPs including Tories warning that they can then “disappear without a trace”.
Questioning the officials, Tim Loughton, a Commons home affairs committee member, asked: “Isn’t it strange that conveniently, when faced with a very stiff target, there has been a three-fold increase [in withdrawals] for undetermined reasons, people magically not going forward with their claims, and where are those people?”
Mr Ridley replied: “In most cases, I don’t know where those people are.” Asked whether they had returned to their home countries, he said: “I don’t know.”
Mr Loughton again asked: “So you have no idea where those 17,316 people are?” Mr Ridley replied: “I don’t think we know where all those people are, no.”
He told the committee that a claim was withdrawn when asylum seekers did not turn up for interviews or complete questionnaires and were “not engaging with the system that leads to a decision”.
Other reasons included when someone had already left the UK before their claim was considered or if they chose to pursue another application for permission to stay in the country, according to the department.
Mr Ridley later said there were records enabling Home Office immigration officers to take enforcement action against withdrawn asylum seekers to bring people in and remove them from the UK.
Data last week showed the backlog of asylum applications, rather than individuals, stood at 122,585 as of Oct 29, down 12 per cent from a record 138,782 at the end of February.
The “legacy” backlog of asylum applications stood at 33,253 as of Oct 29, down 47 per cent from 62,157 on July 30. To meet the target, around 16,630 applications would need to be cleared per month before Dec 31.
Sir Matthew has admitted that the Home Office does not have a “Plan B” if the Government fails to get its Rwanda policy off the ground.
He said civil servants were doing “all sorts of contingency planning” but he said he would not call in a Plan B as ministers had not agreed such a scheme.
Meanwhile, research by the Refugee Council, based on 40 asylum organisations, found that Channel migrants were likely to make more dangerous journeys to more remote beaches if the Rwanda scheme went ahead in order to avoid detection.
Asylum seekers supported by the organisations were also said to be already more afraid to engage with official services and would be driven “underground”, raising fears that they could suffer harm and exploitation.
Enver Solomon, the chief executive of the Refugee Council, said: “We know refugees are avoiding contact with vital services and face being exploited and abused by those seeking to coerce and traffic them.
“We are very worried about the prospect of Channel crossings becoming even riskier, when we know all too well how deadly they already are.” “

Morning Anne,.
then surely if 17000 are missing that contaminates ALL residing within currently,
So ALL must go, temporarily, and reapply.
What a spiffing idea – deport ’em, fingerprint and photograph ’em and don’t allow them or new ones, back in
Not very joined up are they?
In any other country other than the EU is if your asylum had been denied you would be deported immediately.
Is it not obvious to civil servants that the very first thing an asylum seeker will do is appeal and then drop below the radar.
Sack the lot of ’em.
Useless incompetents..
Seems Norway rescued a load of Gazans and flew them to Norway, although they have no connection with Norway at all. Way to go, government! Fill the last remaining space with the world’s terrorist dross, why don’t you.
Same day there’s a news item about how the demand for food banks is increasing, pretty well in line with 3rd world immigration. The same is NOT seen in Denmark or Finland, as they don’t have the immigration…
Illegal Channel crossings should be 100% fatal.
What a spiv, looks more like a second hand car salesman.

Harsh, maybe, but I see the risk from the Channel crossings from a different perspective to Enver Solomon. The real risk is to the native people of this island and to the long-time settled and assimilated immigrants of all races and colours and not to those unchecked and unknown fighting age young men who have a choice of whether or not to risk their lives in the illegal act of invading a sovereign country.
Sadly, I’ve been driven to a point where I no longer care what fate awaits these invaders: my sympathies for humanity are focused inwards towards my family, my friends and to my Country and its settled population.
Join the club.
I resent what British governments have done to my compassion over the past 20 years.
I lost mine years ago as well, Anne.
I’m not doing anything to find it again.
Imagine having to work with that load of deadbeats, if you were Home Secretary.
Now time for the RN’s specially trained underwater harpoon squad to be put on permanent duty in the English Channel to puncture all the approaching rubber dinghies.
…But only in French waters.
That’s a good idea – trouble is that the RNLI now goes into French waters to within a couple of hundred metres of the coast to pick up refugees. I think they are paid special bonuses by the government based on the numbers they can pick up.

Sink the RNLI boats as well. And the French coast guard.
Recently it was announced on the BBC news that a boat containing “migrants” got into trouble
a mile off the French coast, and the British rescue services collected them and landed them at Dungeness.
Strange that the French rescue services were not invited to get involved. Really strange.

The Chinese people were once faily healthy overall.
That was when most of them had their own plots of land, kept animals and grew their own food.
But the Chinese government have bulldozed and leveled the plots built ugly crowded tower blocks and forced them into the prisons that are now their homes.
And of course as we know China is the most polluting nation on the planet.
I imagine all these skint Labour run councils who have got to suspend all none legally required services will still retain their Diversity Departments on full pay.
I doubt any of them would take a pay cut either.
We had a very large colourful election reminder from the Limps. Who run the St Albans Council. On this they have photographs of the tories who they believe are behind the recent announcements regarding the building of 1500 new homes on our surrounding green belt and agricultural land.

Of course GPs know or knew patients would be put at risk. That’s one of the reasons why the Hipppocratic oath was abandoned.
I suspect many GPs have also been in profit from private practice.
I’m still waiting for the cardiology department to get in touch after my ablation in July. Perhaps it’s all my fault, again.
And very Fond of Lying has suggested to our own very fond of lying department and Richie that we should rejoice in her suggestion we re join the EU. Ah…..bless.
Some of the plans for their subjects have now come to light. NO THANKS.
Has Baroness Fond of Lying offered us our £40billion back if we rejoin the EU?
Already spent Janet.
As the EU is so prosperous I’m sure that she could find another £40 billion if she was even vaguely
keen on the idea.
As the British handed over the £40billion so easily without a “satisfactory trading arrangement”
then we can assume that the EU will be trying to extract more money in return for
more vague promises.
Even as Ndovu suggests, it’s gone already, if it did exist. The britsh public would not get a sniff of it.
The money would be squander by the liars at the top of the ladder.
Is the top of the ladder equal to the bottom of a
snakecess pit.This morning we made a decision. We are going to move. We will give this place 3-5 years then hoof again. Less if we really cannot do anything about the insulation, more once the costs stabilise.
The Warqueen is unhappy. Not grumpy, not angry, but tired of everything going wrong (we now don’t have an oven), tired of the lack of hot water, the worries over costs. She joked about seeing another man who had central heating. Thing is, I wouldn’t blame her!
Why have all these problems just come to light? Did you have a survey done? Did you question the householder? Did they tell you the truth?
We had a full building survey done. It showed the problems we knew about – namely the fusebox. We were aware of the radiators but were told by SGN that gas would cost £1400 to install.
I judged the fusebox replacement on our last one – £250. It’s been £1000. The gas of course is vastly higher. £100,000.
Add in the bathroom costs (I’m fat. I’m tall. Standing in the bath isn’t practical for me as the shower head is at level with my chest and can’t go any higher and even the Warqueen has to stand nigh foot together to get in the bath.) So we factored in a new bathroom – but with the installer (who I trust) specced it up, it turned out more renovation was needed.
I’m taking nytol to sleep. She isn’t really and is spending a lot of time away (I don’t blame her for that, and we have a friend who’s struggling with her life so she’s helping them out) but at the moment it’s snowing, and the downstairs rad is on 17 and the smart meter is showing £13.
It’s 2pm.
That doesn’t sound good. One step at a time i suppose. Have you considered portable heating and just heating the rooms you are in?
Can you install a woodburner to boost the heating? Some have back boilers to heat the water.
We’re due for -14C tonight and Friday. Brr.

Gentlemen
Whilst marching from Portugal to a position which commands the approach to Madrid and the French forces, my officers have been diligently complying with your requests, which have been sent by HM Ship from London to Lisbon and thence by dispatch rider to our Headquarters.
We have enumerated our saddles, bridles, tents and tent poles and all manner of sundry items for which His Majesty’s Government holds me accountable. I have dispatched reports on the character, wit and spleen of every Officer. Each item and every farthing has been accounted for, with two regrettable exceptions for which I beg your indulgence.
Unfortunately the sum of one shilling and nine-pence remains unaccounted for in one infantry battalion’s petty cash and there has been hideous confusion as to the number of jars of raspberry jam issued to one cavalry regiment during a sandstorm in Western Spain. This reprehensible carelessness may be related to the pressure of circumstances since we are at war with France, a fact which may come as a bit of a surprise to you gentlemen in Whitehall.
This brings me to my present purpose, which is to request elucidation of my instructions from His Majesty’s Government so that I may better understand why I am dragging an army over these barren plains. I construe that perforce it must be one of two alternative duties, as given below. I shall pursue either one with my best ability, but cannot do both.
1. To train an army of uniformed British Clerks in Spain for the benefit of the accountants and copy-boys in London or perchance
2. To see to it that the forces of Napoleon are driven out of Spain,
Your most obedient servant, Wellington.
Wonderful. Thank you.

Homophobic remarks made at council meeting, alleges three-times sex change lawyer
Half a dozen locals are trying to smear my name, says Samantha Kane who is renovating castle in Scottish Highlands

Police were called over a community council meeting at which homophobic remarks were allegedly made about a transgender laird.
Samantha Kane – a barrister who is believed to be the only person in Britain who has changed gender three times – bought Carbisdale Castle in Scotland in 2022 for more than £1 million.
Ms Kane, who goes by Lady Carbisdale, has pledged to sink millions of pounds into restoring the category B-listed 19-bedroom manor, which is close to Ardgay, around 30 miles north of Inverness.
Her plans to acquire seven acres of land surrounding the castle from Forestry and Land Scotland were discussed at a meeting of Ardgay and District community council on Nov 21.
Ms Kane, who is an elected member of the community council, attended the meeting to state her case but had to leave while a vote took place.

I think it was ‘it’ who wanted to re-introduce wolves into the area
That would be a howler.
What would? Monkeying about like that?
“Homophobic remarks made at council meeting, alleges three-times sex change lawyer”
Why should homophobic remarks upset her if she’s supposedly a woman?
So she was a man, became a woman, became a man and then became a woman?
Sounds like she’s mentally ill. Certainly shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near a council.

HG worked on the baby unit in Bradford roughly 40 years ago.
Genetic deformities were rife then, I suspect it’s worse now and that the UK taxpayer is picking up the tab for the long-term care necessary.

Uncivilised savages of the first degree.
Maybe it’s where royal families come a cropper.
It’s driven by property rights, isn’t it? Which is what led European aristocracy to adopt similer practices. I read somewhere that even the American Indians, back when they were still Stone Age oiks, had rules about not mating within your own clan. Seems enlightened until you realise they also ate one another but hey ho!
It is.
Don’t forget that Pakistan and most of its anis have yet to leave the stone age.

I think George is happy with the life he has.
You’d have to be desperate!

Ah, that I knew not, Jules.

Our grandson will be 10 in March. He became totally deaf at 4 and has had cochlear implants. This enabled him to hear enough for him to learn to speak and was doing really well at school in the circumstances. However in the last 6 months he has lost control of muscle power in his jaw and also the ability to control his hand movements. He is unable to get his words out or even use sign language and cannot write. Eating solid food is very hard for him. The school teachers and his friends can’t understand what he is trying to say and this state of affairs has meant that he takes his frustrations out on his mother violently. There are no speech therapists in the county and long waiting lists in neighbouring ones. He is being taken for an assessment today but I fear a very bleak future is in store.
Sorry. That’s just ghastly all round. Let’s hope this assessment gets things moving.
Poor little chap – and so difficult for his mother and the rest of the family. Does he have a progressive illness?
it would appear so.
If you don’t mind my asking Rusty who will be doing the assessment?
Poor lad and parents. I can’t imagine the agony, both mental and physical, for him, his parents and you. I know they’re pretty useless but have you thought of writing to your MP and requesting that some of your tax money be diverted from providing a luxurious lifestyle to illegal immigrants to the welfare and wellbeing of your grandson and his family. I would also suggest you write to the CEO of the local NHS Trust explaining the situation and asking what they are going to do. Here’s the link to all NHS trusts and the CEO’s email addresses.
Hope this dreadfully sad problem can be sorted soon.

Our MP won’t be interested as we over Offa’s Dyke and come under Welsh NHS.
Have you tried bringing him into England? I understand plenty of women come here to have abortions etc. therefore why not your grandson.
Write to him every week and go and stand outside his committee rooms and challenge him. Make his life a misery until he does something. Don’t let the bastard get away scot free, make his life hell.
Most Welsh NHS patients end up in Shrewsbury!

Oh Rusty, how awful for the poor lad, especially after he was doing so well. I do hope today’s assessment is helpful.
Oh heck. How frustrating and upsetting for everyone.
What a worry; you must be feeling so helpless.
Oh, man.
Poor wee lad, that’s awful.
Oh little chap! I’m so sorry to hear that! Fingers crossed for a more hopeful outcome!
#MeToo, Sue.
So sorry to see that, hope something positive comes from the assessment today.
I am so very sorry to read that. Looks like it could be a rare syndrome.
OT. I look at the front pages of the DT, DE and DM each morning and am really fed up with seeing snippets about ginge and cringe. Particularly about the “2 royals who mentioned the child’s skin colour”.
I find it quite reasonable that family would “wonder what colour it would be”. What do other Nottlers think?
“Reasonable” to sensible people like us, and most people a few years ago – but nowadays “reasonable” has gone out the window, in favour of “woke” and “be kind”.
The intolerance of the tolerant.
“Intolerance will not be tolerated!”
The floggings will continue until morale improves…
Exactly, Anne, and my tolerance has worn very, very thin
Kind?
It’s a justification for being “woke”.
Of course it’s reasonable, vw, but, like you, I just gloss over any mention of these despicable people.
Piers Morgan named the two royals in the Dutch version of ‘Endgame’.
Who are the two royals?
Without naming names, one is the major piece on a chess board (not the most powerful), and the other modelled a transparent dress at University.
K+K. I mean okay !
Yes, but to wonder whether the child will take after his mother physically or his father is hardly a racist speculation!
Our first son looks like me; our second son looks like Caroline!
But do either of them look more Dutch than English?
The mistake the Royal Family made was the same one as before. An actress.
Ahhh yes! I guessed from the very outset that it must be the Bishop of London.

I went to buy a new road atlas this afternoon. Endgame was prominently displayed on the counter by the till! I didn’t succumb.
Both sides of MB’s family have members with the red “Brillo pad” hair. Of course we wondered if either of our children would inherit Grandad’s, Uncle Wullie’s or Uncle Ted’s topping.
Obviously we were guilty of Lowland Scottism or Essex Countryfolkism.
It’s a natural thought, isn’t it. Who will he/she look like!
It used to be.
I put money on with Ladbrokes that it would be striped. :@(
Like a humbug?
Bah…bah black sheep…oops.
The mix can produce surprising results. Many years ago I worked with a blond German woman who was married to a black Jamaican. They had two daughters. One looked like an albino African. She was blond but with negroid features and hair type. The other girl had European features with coffee coloured skin and soft dark hair. The blond was jealous of her sister and a difficult child.
One of our daughters is married to a black man, and when she was pregnant with twin boys, our other son in law, who had a 2 year old daughter and another child on the way, suggested at a family ‘do’ that if they had a another daughter could they swap her with one of the twins! Much hilarity all round – no racism, sexism or any other sort of ‘ism’! Just people musing on the future at a family party!
Edit: They now have a blonde 5 year old girl, a blond 3 year old boy and another boy due in February! The twins – well you’ve seen their hair!
I think we all speculate on a new family baby, as to what characteristics baby will have. I am old enough to remember the 50’s hit of “where will the baby’s dimple be, baby’s bottom or baby’s knee”. I do agree with you that this whole issue is very tiresome and I don’t really care to know who said what!! Incidentally, not much has been made of all this over here.
I don’t think about it at all, TBH.

We now have a PM who was rejected for the job by his own party.
We have a Chancellor who was rejected for the PM job by his Parliamentary Party.
We have a Foreign Secretary who’s most important policy (remaining) when PM was rejected in the biggest exercise of democracy in recent UK history, and is unelected and not held to account by Parliament.
Not very democratic, is it.

CALPURNIA
When beggars die, there are no comets seen;
The heavens themselves blaze forth the death of princes.
[Julius Caesar]
Shakespeare seemed to be rather ambivalent with regard to sectaries astronomical and the influence of the planets in the lives and deaths of human beings.
Edmond [King Lear] hoodwinks his father and his brother into saying that the stars are having a malign influence and are predicting catastropehs. But when it comes to himself he says:
This is the excellent foppery of the world, that, when we are sick in fortune, often the surfeit of our own behaviour, we make
guilty of our disasters the sun, the moon, and the stars; as if we were villains on necessity; fools by heavenly compulsion; knaves, thieves, and treachers by spherical pre-dominance; drunkards, liars, and adulterers by an enforc’d obedience of planetary influence; and all that we are evil in, by a divine thrusting on.
An admirable evasion of whore-master man, to lay
his goatish disposition to the charge of a star!
My father compounded with my mother under the Dragon’s Tail, and my
nativity was under Ursa Major, so that it follows I am rough and
lecherous. Fut! I should have been that I am, had the
maidenliest star in the firmament twinkled on my bastardizing.

No shortage of police officers to protect corporate profits. Don’t bother calling them if you get burgled though. Suddenly no one is available.
They try to use fear and guilt to stop you by being by suggesting you could be data hacked or by telling you you are supporting organised crime.
“People using Amazon Firesticks and other illegal streaming devices could soon face a knock at the door from police officers warning them they could be prosecuted, experts have warned.“
What a waste of police time, turning up to warn people. Would the perlice have right of entry to check? I’m not certain but I believe a householder can still ask the perlice to leave the premises? Without inviting them in, of course.
They would need a thing called ‘evidence’ to get a warrant to enter. The style of policing they have chosen is psychological rather than evidence based.

It has taken plod more than 20 years to identify suspects. Most of the close relatives and the people who overdosed them will be long dead.
I expect it didn’t come to light for a while, or people didn’t put two and two together to make the five. And as you say most of the perps will be dead by now.
The hospital has 70 beds at present. (It may have had many more in the past). The average number of inappropriate opioid deaths over the 14 years in question averages 2.7 per month. There are at least 3 possibilities.
1) Incompetent prescribing /administration of opioids by a Doctor or Nurse. (Or more than one of each)
2) Another Dr Shipman
3) A member of staff easing the passing of those patients desperate to find their off switch (without any other ulterior motives)….
The majority were put on morphine jacks where it supplies it automatically. That ‘s what you use for end of life treatment. Quite a few of those patients were nowhere near that stage.
Thanks for that info.
Local to me. There is more. Not that i’m going there again.
Come on Phizz they’ve been flat out and busy nicking littering, bad parking, escorting terrorist around London. Dancing in the street, waving flags keeping up appearances at carnivals.

Just like with Madeline McCaan. Retired detectives and summer holidays for life. Without doing very much.
Still no results on the 10 year old girl found murdered in August near Woking.
But as they know her family probably killed her. There’s no need to worry too much about how and why.
It’s all in the book.

Cameron is a traitor who should be hanged by the neck until dead! His body should then be drawn and quartered.
You cannot ‘draw’ a dead body unless you return it to the original hurdle upon which it was ‘drawn’ to the place of execution. The correct sequence was Drawn, Hanged, Disembowelled and then quartered
I’m surprised, Richard, that you get into this wrong sequence..
The expression can cover two alternatives.
1 The condemned was dragged to the site of execution, usually on a stretcher dragged by a horse, roads were cobbled so they would have been badly bounced around, probably breaking bones, then hanged until dead, cut down and then quartered.
2 The condemned was hanged until nearly dead, drawn ie disemboweled whilst still alive and then beheaded and quartered.
In both cases the bits were taken to different places (scattered) heads were generally placed on London bridge
Must have been quite uncomfortable…!
Not a bed of roses.
It makes me feel quite faint….
To be fair, Tom, it’s been a while…
And then fed to the pigs.
You can guarantee whatever he intent is, it won’t be good for us, it won’t be good for Gibraltar, and it will give our enemies more power.

Phew! a busy morning.
Down to Cromford with the DT to get the bus to Matlock.
45 minutes to pick up meds and do a bit of shopping, generally trawling for the “flog it off cheap” labels in Marks and Expensives, Iceland and the Co-op, then catch the bus home.
Then, after sorting out the shopping and having a bit of breakfast, get a meal put on for the DT & S@H Son getting back from work, I’ve done an “All in” Cottage Pie with minced beef and several items looking perilously close to the bin-it stage, all topped by tatties and veg all mashed together with a final layer of cheese.
Because Graduate and S@H Sons do not like mushrooms, they are being done separately in butter with chopped garlic and a ¼ teaspoon of Chinese Salt with chili.

I’d have lost my job if I’d turned up to a meeting so unprepared!
It was a specific question, but they’re civil servants. They’re no there to provide answers.
What I found funny was how young the aides were. They looked about 20-30 at most. They have data bases holding this info, why not structure a query while another question is being asked?
They are civil servants. They don’t have to actually EARN their living!
The question is very specific, but why not ask them ‘what information do you have?’
I don’t know if any of you are getting frustrated with GB News, that seems to have joined the MSM.
I asked them why I had such difficulty in accessing the site. Have others had similar problems?

Hi Tom,
Apologies for the slight delay in getting back to you, our inbox gets extremely busy at times.
I’m sorry you are experiencing difficulties reading our articles.
Could you perhaps give me a bit more information about what the problem is and I will do my best to help you.
All the best,

My response

Anna, you ask about difficulties in signing in – try this.
I used to be able to click on the GB News Icon, suspend adblock and see a bar that said ‘Live’.
By clicking on that, I got what it said on the tin.
Not so now. that bar that used to say ‘Live’, now reads ‘Support Us’ No I damn well won’t.
GB News is just another part of the lying MainStream Media and, as such, I cannot/will not support you.
That’ll be the paywall they introduced last week, Tom!
Well, Sue, I’m damned if I start paying for what was hitherto, free.

Aah, I remember it well. I too was brought up with Tom Lehrer.
Unfortunately I have no recordings.
Easy to find them on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/Tom-Lehrer-Collection/dp/B0039TD73G
I have a vinyl disc, “An Evening (Wasted) With Tom Lehrer”. Great stuff.
I have a couple of vinyl discs as well as a complete collection of his songs on CD.
His fans certainly span the generations – my sons love his songs and I expect that when they have their own children they will love them too!
Agreed, along with Jake Thackery!
I have seen Jake perform live on several occasions and many of his songs are in my repertoire: e.g.s Personal Column, Sister Josephine, Lah-di- Dah, On Again On Again and Bantam Cock. all of wich which I used to perform for my Sixth Formers.
Err… their reply was honest, sensible and offered help. Your reply was a bit on the nose! How can they help you there?
I did this:
navigate to gbnews.com
I see live tv playing in the top right 9Ish), under the menu bar.
I see a support us link.
I don’t see anything else?
Maybe you don’t have the same sense of frustration with money-hungry, begging bowl news.
Their final response, Wibbles:
Hi Tom,
You are correct and that way to access our live feed is currently being used to help people find the new membership service.
It is something our viewers have been asking for so we are delighted to have been able to roll this out last week.
It does involve some changes to the site to accommodate it which may or may not be permanent. I’m not sure this will be it’s final place on the navigation bar.
Regardless, there are two other ways to reach the live feed just as easily.
You will see that there is a small red live feed window just below the blue navigation bar on the right of the page. Hitting the little box on that will expand this to full screen mode.
Additionally, if you look on the main white navigation bar itself, just below where it now says Support, you will see Watch. Hovering over that allows you to click on LIVE, and you will get what it says on the tin.
I do hope that helps you find what you are looking for.
Kind regards,
Anna

That’ll teach em…
“Passengers have been stuck on board a Eurostar train at Folkestone for more than seven hours with no electricity, food or working toilets.
Responding to customer complaints on X, external, Eurostar said a train was “being detached from the overhead power lines” but this was “taking longer than expected”.
The BBC has contacted Eurostar for comment.
“It truly feels like an emergency situation but there’s no communication from staff,” said Jessica Chambers, from Essex, who was supposed to be travelling to Amsterdam for her friend’s birthday.
Eurostar said on X that it was not possible to make customer announcements “due to a lack of power on board”.
Ms Chambers said the train was now getting dark as the lights were out due to the lack of power.
Customers said they could not flush the toilets and sent photos showing that they are completely blocked.
Rebecca Morris, from Horsham, West Sussex, said her group of six had been given water but no food.
She said the situation on board was “just dreadful” and passengers were “freezing cold”.
Ms Morris and her colleagues were planning to travel to Brussels to see the Christmas markets.“
I bet the buffet and bar are busy. But maybe not if they don’t take cash.
If you haven’t already lobbied your MP about the WHO power grab (a grab for sovereignty over our own, personal rights) it can be done at this website here https://saveourrights.uk/take-action/who-power-grab/ It is very quick, just your name, email address, postal code, and up pops your MPs name in the appropriate space just below. Don’t forget to confirm (like I did!) your MP by tapping the little circle alongside. If you do omit this it will let you know when you submit, just go back and put in your postcode again, then confirm your MP. Submit and hey presto off it goes.
When the website comes up the lower half is shaded black (this puzzled me for a small while, I am not very well today!) just tap on it and it will release. As well as your MP, this site will send a letter to the Health Secretary at the same time. Copies of the templates are available to view on the site. This must be done this evening, 1 December is the cut off date!
Done!
Thank you.
Done too!
Thank you, Sue. I hoped this would quick method would gather in a few of us stragglers – I put last Friday’s info to one side with full intentions then got struck down with a virus doing the rounds… thank goodness I’m not jabbed, it could have been so much worse!
Oh heavens! How are you feeling now? Doggy keeping you cosy?
He keeps trying to hump my leg – I am stretched out on the sofa – I am hoping his little op in January will sort him out!
I hate to put a damper on it, but it didn’t sort Charlie. He was still humping his bed well into his teens 🙁
😱 oh!
Only his bed. He never humped me. I just used to get woken up occasionally by the sound of him humping his bed in th early hours. What really made the difference to him was being an only dog and constant training.
Done.
Thank you!
Done
Thank you!
The lower half is shaded black because the upper half is about Christmas shopping! I wasn’t sure which I would be signing up to so I gave up.
There’s a big X on the advert in the top right hand corner, Conway. That gets rid of it!
Oh, yes, I did. It was the confusion between two choices of protest that got me.
Ah, sorry! Poking my nose in!
No, not at all. Perhaps I didn’t make my confusion clear.
Clear confusion, eh? Nice oxymoron!
Sign of our times 🙂
If you tap the shaded black area it then covers the whole screen and obliterates, thankfully, the Christmas shopping. One cannot sign for Christmas shopping…!
Done, poppiesmum. But I don’t see how contacting my MP and the Health Secretary with less than four and half hours before the deadline expires can possibly do any good.
Me neither, perhaps it is the count that is important, although 14 December rings a bell in my cold-fevered brain in connection with a debate/discussion/signing of the document. Perhaps someone can put me right on this…?
Thank you for signing.
Done. So I’ve sent something to Andy Slaughter (Labour, Hammersmith). Being trusting about what he’ll receive. Whether he’ll read it anyway…?
I think it’s the numbers that count, if they are deluged or otherwise.
Done.
Thank you, Geoff.
Done
Thank you, Alec.

Heath is being too generous to The Fakir, a man who doesn’t really understand Britishness.
For Britain, Cameron was a disaster, is a disaster, and always will be a disaster.
His appointment merely underlines what an utter waste of oxygen Sunak is.
Sunak ain’t in charge, though. It was never his decision. Remember, he was placed in the position of PM. Even the king gave Cameron a fast-track into the Lords. Shows the corruption runs top to bottom.
I think we all knew we were pretty much screwed before, now it seems we’re being gang raped, to put it crudely.
Oops a few typos in the spelling of Fakir…
Why?

No coments allowed on the article reporting the twat saying earlier lockdown would have saved more lives.
They all seem to be such bare faced liars. Nobody believes them. The only way to stop all this incessant lying is to put them in jail. It might just help to take life more seriously.
The irony, the complete lack of insight.

Evil little creep!
Isn’t he just! Morally bankrupt, if he ever had any in the first place of which to be bankrupted. I suspect he cannot comprehend the meaning of ‘moral’ – a concept to keep the population in its place. I hope I live long enough to see justice done.
I’d like to know if his wife thinks he’s a liar.
Something strange about the whole ‘affair’ thing. My feeling is that it was a set-up, to get him out of the public eye because ‘Midazolam Matt’ and all that was associated with that was gaining ground on social media.
She probably knows he lied about his height😘
I don’t know who is most deserving of being pushed headfirst into a dungheap: the bullshitter who wrote this piece or The Fakir for putting his name to it.
In my mind I can see an old oak tree, in winter with no leaves, and Rishi Sunak beneath it. With his feet swinging 2′ from the ground.
A sapling would suffice…
And, given that the quickest way to restore the balance might be to wipe 5 or 6 billion people from the planet, would that be acceptable?
Only as long as they are aliens.
Seriously, if there was such a reduction, taking out the aged, the infirm, the stupid, those with no skills, everyone with a criminal conviction, Muslims, and by lottery 90% of “those in charge”, just to ensure they didn’t feather their own nests, would the planet be better off?
Getting rid of the muslims? Is there any question?
Well, they do cover a lot of the bases:
Aged, infirm though in-breeding, stupid, no skills and criminal records …
A better option is to absolutely, permanently restrict movement. You stay where you are unless there is abject proof you add value in another country.
Overpopulated countries have their own problems and under populated theirs. We don’t face a 1 million a year influx and our high tech, high skill population continues to fall, as it should. The third world simply has to solve it’s own problems. End this moronic Left wing obsession with controlling nations at a global level. Policies to suit the nation, not the communists.
Rats and humans, the planet wreckers.
Sorry, nothing will convince me that Rishi Sunak cares about trees.
Nothing will convince me that Sunak cares about anything good for the planet or this country.
All that stunted rodent does is lie. He couldn’t care less about the environment. He knows ‘climate change’ is a hoax. He doesn’t care. All he does is lie continually about everything. He is simply obeying his masters every whim – and, as cliche it is, that’s any globalist going.
The scum is not serving this country. He is dedicated to feathering his nest and preparing for the next hop and instead of stabbing his boss in the back, he’s doing it to the entire country.
He was in my back garden yesterday, under the bird feeding station.
Sorry, my bad. Wrong stunted rodent…
Effing sycamore is weeds. Probably introduced by the Romans, another bunch of foreign invaders. English Nuisance or some such collection of numpties should never have allowed that tree alongside ancient ruins. 300 years old? Someone is having a laugh.
Better to plant Oak trees for many future generations to love and nurture,
The pm had time to write that did he? Gosh. Lucky the Conservatives don’t anything more important to consider. Like potholes.
Drivel. He didn’t mean a word of it.
Not his words. Unlike Biden who says whatever his medication dictates.

I am jealous!
Reading about, listening to, and recalling the covid enquiry.
Nobody appears to have the guts to say:
“People will inevitably die under these conditions, we need to take hard, rational decisions on how many, which age groups, which cohorts and how we should try to protect them but NOT at the expense of the general population.
Those in charge bent over backwards to try to save everyone. It was never going to happen and as a result huge numbers were harmed in many different ways and the most vulnerable died anyway.
Had they had the moral fibre to discuss such things and acted upon their conclusions I have little doubt it would not have turned into the disaster it did.
They claim to be leaders, they aren’t, and they weren’t.
The media also bear a degree of responsibility. You can easily imagine the Screaming hEadlines – “The Callous Government are going to let us all die!” But that doesn’t excuse them for ignoring the Swedish pragmatism….
I hope that Rusty Twig’s grandson’s assessment took place today and that there is something that can be done for the stricken lad.
He is being passed from pillar to post unfortunately. This bunch he saw today have provided a list of foods he can safely eat without choking. The muscles affected are those appertaining to swallowing and control of his tongue. He has to have someone present while trying to eat.
Next is a scan of his throat date to be advised.
Progress of a sort.
For his, and his family’s, sake I hope that things improve quickly.
May God protect them all and give them the stoicism and skills to cope with what they must.
Good luck to you all.
Seconded, Rusty Twig. Thoughts are with you.
Absoutely. Well said.
At least he has retained his sense of humour (got it from his Grandad).
Sorry to hear that, R T. Hope that something can be sorted soon.
Hope all is resolved soon for your grandson and the family.
.Find out as much as is possible from other sources. Don’t just rely on what one is told.
I hope and pray for you all.
Evening, all. Sometimes I think GPs have lost the plot. They have forgotten what their purpose is.
I’ve had a frustrating day; Kadi stole one of my goatskin gloves from the pocket of the jacket I wore last night and which I’d left on the back of a chair. He ate a third of it! I was not best pleased. Consequently he had three bikkies and two cuddles docked from pay and every time he looked puzzled I held up the gloves. He looked ashamed and ran off. I hope the message has got through.
He obviously thought you were treating him with kid gloves.
If I’d caught him at it, he would have soon known the error of his ways!
When Oscar does something really wicked I get very angry with him, for at least 30 seconds.
Kadi was ignored. When I fussed Oscar, Kadi came up for his usual share – I just showed him the mangled glove and he slunk off. He knew what he’d done. I didn’t keep it up for long, but long enough. No need to shout at him; guilt was written all over his face.
Utterly off topic.
HG enjoys the fish pie that I make with prawns, shrimps, cod and smoked haddock.
It’s similar to a cottage pie or a shepherd’s pie.
Is there a similar name for such a dish, such as fisherman’s pie or trawlerman’s pie?
Definitely fisherman’s pie! Findus do a frozen thing with gratin called an Admirals pie!
Mine worked out at roughly £3 a portion.
Three nights this week and three nights’ worth into the freezer.
I do love fish pie!
For what it’s worth (very little, in truth!) I cooked myself fish and chips this evening.
Spag bollocknaise for me ex-freezer, 2022 date
Don’t batter yourself over it.
Findus…Success on a plate for you…………..argghhhh !
My secret fish pie recipe…just for you. see below.
Piscator Pie, or Tarte de Pêcheur.
Now that’s a suggestion I really like, with a minor adjustment.
Piscatorian pie.
How about…Parmentier de poisson.
I have always called it fisherman’s pie, but unable to get smoked haddock easily, so I use a cold smoked piece of salmon cut up with whatever fish that I have in the freezer, along with cod, shrimp etc. I also add clam juice with white wine for the sauce.
I use white wine and a little cream and some tarragon. I get extra juice/liquid from shallots cooked gently in a little butter as I start the dish.
Okay. You stop right there and give me the receipt !
Ocean Pie.
Admiral’s Pie
Another good alternative.
Fisherman’s pie:
First peel two fishermen….
Tried that recipe ! Their wooly jumpers make it more like a shepherds pie.
We make a similar dish and sometimes substitute mashed swede and carrots instead of mashed spuds…
If HG enjoys your pie why do you ask? Asking for a friend who is a Chef.
Idle curiosity.
I’ve just got round to watching the video on mind control that damask_rose (?) posted last week. It is fascinating, and there were several surprises. I genuinely had not realised how easy it is to manipulate people. The covid stuff was all pretty obvious – at least I thought so at the time. Now wondering how often I have been influenced by small things that I was completely unaware of.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhJlEIoZP_4
Yes, I thought it was an eye-opener, too. I am glad I don’t watch much TV or read MSM outlets.
Watched 14 minutes, without seeing any more, are they all of people who are pretty young, watch and listen to the news as well as recent films, and care about what others think of them?
That was only the first experiment (but it did shock me with what precision the kids were manipulated!). Later it showed an experiment on a cinema audience, and a still from a film that came out just before the failed attempts at a swine flu pandemic. Also some stuff about coffee – apparently caffeine makes you more likely to want to follow the herd.
Back in March 2020 I asked someone on Facebook who identified himself as a hospital consultant if he thought that the Stanley Milgram Obedience Experiment was relevant to Covid. He said yes of course and explained why. I wish I’d cut and pasted his answer but I didn’t and couldn’t find it later. The other comments on that thread showed very little understanding.

Right, chums, after a busy and productive day, I shall now leave the NoTTLers’ site and wish you all a good night. I’m not off to bed, but instead I shall now watch a DVD of TRUMBO, the blacklisted Hollywood scriptwriter in the 1950s.

Would this be the same Hamas that claimed that the child had been passed/sold by them to another terrorist group?
When the ceasefire ends, I hope that Israel deep cleanses Gaza and kills every Hamas “soldier” without compunction and while they are about it every other Jihadist supporter.
Tens of thousands of those are about to be evacuated to Germany.
Where, doubtless, they will breed like rabbits producing another generation of haters and terrorists.
Seems to be the plan.
Where else for Jew haters?
Ukraine or what is left of it might be an alternative destination for Gazans.
The Germans have been trying very hard to bury that. Most modern Germans would be aghast at being accused of such a thing. Right up to A. Merkle. Then they had no choice. Just like here.
The wail’s writing is getting worse and worse.
Hamas are nothing but muslim scum.
Times of Israel has nothing on this but that do have a story about hamas releasing a recent video of the family. Hopefully the DM jumped the gun.
Somehow I don’t see Israel taking this quietly.

The longer the PTB and the MSM fail to address this problem the more incidents like this one will occur.
The political Left have everything to answer for.
I have Mo idea.
This link says the murdered taxi driver was of Middle Eastern origin.
https://rmx.news/crime/14-year-old-swedish-girl-hung-her-middle-eastern-rapist-report/
The murder victim had only been reported as a rapist by the girl. The accusation was never tested in court.
As for not naming him, as the rape claimant and three of the four brothers were legal minors at the time of the murder, would that explain why none involved, including both the murder victim and eldest brother, have been named? Would naming the taxi driver and eldest brother aid those wanting to uncover the identities of the 4 minors?
WHY IS THE MURDERED ALLEGED RAPIST’S NAME NOT MENTIONED?
It is a tad nippy out there tonight.

Am I alone in having had enough of the “lived experience” guff? The lived experience of any individual is necessarily limited. Why should anyone be entitled to demand that everyone else be defined by those limitations.
Care to elucidate? I haven’t lived that one….
If you are not joking, I think Sue means the kind of person who gets up and says that their lived experience trumps everyone else’s opinion about something, because they can’t possibly have a valid opinion about something they haven’t experienced first hand.
A highly convenient mechanism for ensuring that only trans people are allowed to make decisions about laws and rules around trans people, for example.
Exactly what I meant, thank you.
I incorporated my ‘Lived Experience’ into my Autobiography (1944 – 2014) and have continued with a journal that charts daily (weekly/monthly) life from 2014 onwards.
Well you learn something every day – just watched the Horse Guards on CH5 and it appears the busby/bearskin was introduced donkeys (sorry!) years ago because it frightened the enemies horses. Our enemies don’t have horses so why don’t they change their headgear to ‘pork pie’ hats to see off the Mussies?
Excellent idea. With a string of pork sausages around the neck, like a Lord Mayor’s chain. I thought that for when the going gets rough, I would ensure that there was always bacon in the fridge…!
Bearskins are old hat (eyeroll) Same as underdrawed Scots. All is needed now is herds of pretty goats to distract them
What a lovely night for a walk with a bright waning gibbous moon and lots of stars. Orion being fairly clear.
Up the hill towards the village, veer off to Slaley, then cut across to the Head of the Dale, up to Uppertown and down for a pint in the King’s Head.
Then up Stepping Lane and cut across the fields to the Barley Mow for a 2nd pint, and back home.
A pleasant 2½h walk and -4°C when I got home.
And that’s me off to bed, so g’night all.
Bilges later. Take a small bucket so you don’t wake the neighbours..
After 6 or 7 pints of Guinness I like looking up on the way home from the pub. But I’m always careful about the ditches after previous mishaps.
Not to mention the following days bowel movements. I said not to mention the….oh
Things do look black. To tell the truth I only do (generally) one full night on the Guinness a week. That’s open mic on a Monday, 8pm to 1130pm. Wednesdays and Fridays are early doors (5pm to 630pm) 3-4 swift pints. Apart from that I’m teetotal, except for wine at home of course.
Sounds perfectly healthy to me. My Doctor told me i have to drink 3 litres of fluids every day. I am struggling with that. Perhaps i should go the Guinness route.
It’s very good for the tummy. Your pints of bitter and lager ain’t in it for a kinder effect on the stomach.
TBH i have never been a pint drinker. I liked the small glasses of the strong ales but they made me quite merry too quickly. Friends have recommended guinness zero which as people that go off to Dublin occasionally was a good suggestion.
Arrrrghhrrrr!
Guinness Zero!
Haven’t tried it and never will. A pint of (proper) Guinness in Ireland does taste smoother than a pint of it in England, but I’ve no idea why. Alcohol is a proven cheererupper, despite the so called depressant it is claimed to be by puritan arseholes.
The reason it tastes better in Ireland is those casks haven’t been pissed in.
Perhaps you are right. I wouldn’t know. Someone i trust who drinks Guinness said the new zero version was very good. That person being RN.
Good point about them pissing in the exported Guinness, it might be true. In an Oirish accent, “Who da fock would be drinking a point of Guinness wid no alkyhol innit?”
Off to bed now, sleep tight, Phizz, meboy!
Good night me lad. he sez soberly hic !.
Afore ye go. Alcohol does not suit everyone. My late sister couldn’t handle it. Some folk get stroppy with it. Some people get maudlin with it. Some people get screwed up with it. Me, I become the nicest, funniest and best looking person in the world. Well, the happiest at any rate. G’night, Phizz.
It’s kind of you to mention it honey. I get all lovey dovey. You’re lookin’ mighty fine to me sweet cheeks. :@)
It’s the invisible force field on the border of every country that ensures that all of that country’s food leaving its borders will NEVER taste as good when you eat it at home!
