Make Slavery Great Again? Judith Brown joins Tony and Martin. Universal Basic Income – pros and cons. Universal Basic Income: Make Slavery Great Again Living as Safe as Slaves Government UBI will happen – it already does to some extent, but the future will see it on a far, far larger scale. It will not be cash handouts but digital currency. This will be a tightly controlled version, as in a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), because the government will claim responsibility for controlling the money it dispenses. CBDC is essentially food vouchers, and intended to be. Your UBI will be yours as long as you use it for what the government allows, within the time they allow. Well-meaning people are already building the social acceptability for this. Those suggesting now that a virtuous society should prevent food vouchers or unemployment benefits from being used for sugar-based drinks or tobacco believe already that dependent people have lost their right to autonomy. Again, this is not at all theoretical. It is exactly what this form of money is intended for. Most people in society will see its introduction as a good thing, as they are fine with limiting the freedom of others if told that it serves a greater good. In countries like Canada, if you protest against the government, you can already lose your right to buy or sell. If you need permission to obtain the basics of life and cannot make your own choices on the pursuit of happiness, and you are punished for questioning those who restrict you, then you are in a master-slave relationship. In time, most people will become, essentially, a slave of the UBI provider, the government. This is the design behind UBI and CBDCs. It is why very rich people, the people who own the AI and robotics that are going to make so much human labor superfluous, see this as an excellent path. All the above will not seem at all dystopian. Governments will control their populations as part of saving the world (saving the world is important) and will readily convince a majority of the population that being saved is a good idea. We need governments to save us from climate catastrophe by stopping us from travelling, as our children are already told. We need large corporations to save us from pandemics, including those that the same corporations’ laboratories may develop. We need ever more expensive pharmaceuticals injected into us to save us from the scourge of obesity – to save us from our own inability to control our eating. We will certainly need saving from mass unemployment and the inability of a large part of the population to earn their own keep….

Different economic models. China. BBC QT – Olly Dugmore from New Statesman – are student loans next mis selling scandal?  Journalist hailed for ‘chilling’ Question Time speech on ‘disgusting’ Labour A JOURNALIST delivered a chilling speech on Labour’s “extraordinary” appointment of Peter Mandelson as US ambassador on Question Time. The studio audience were stunned into silence as the New Statesman’s Oli Dugmore lay bare his shock at revelations over the past week, including that Keir Starmer knew that Mandelson had continued his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein after the late paedophile’s conviction when he appointed him as US ambassador. The admission that came during Prime Minister’s Questions this week has led to some MPs suggesting Starmer’s position may now be untenable, as well as that of his chief of staff Morgan McSweeney. Dugmore was on the panel alongside Reform UK head of policy Zia Yusuf, Labour MP Emma Reynolds, Conservative MP Julia Lopez and LibDem MP Munira Wilson. Dugmore began by saying: “I’m generally a pretty forgiving person and I think our politics is poorer for its lack of empathy. “I think most people should not be defined by the worst thing they’ve ever done in their lives and most people deserve a second chance. “I do, however, have some moral boundaries, and one of them is I think it is wrong to have sex with children and I wouldn’t want to be friends with anyone that did that and I certainly wouldn’t want to work with them. If I did, I think you’d all be asking me questions and they’d be valid ones. “That is apparently now a fringe position for some people at the top of the Labour Party which is an extraordinary thing to be able to say. “I don’t know about you, I don’t know any paedophiles, I don’t know anyone that’s run a sex trafficking ring, these are extraordinary things we are talking about here.” Dugmore went on to talk about reports showing how people at the top of the Labour Party knew about Mandelson staying in Epstein’s house while he was in prison. To nervous laughter from the audience, he said: “They [Labour bosses] didn’t think that was disqualifying, they thought actually ‘this is our guy’. “This is our guy that we’re going to elevate to the most prestigious diplomatic posting that we have, we’re going to make him our man in Washington. Not only that, we’re going to bring him back to London every so often to advise on some Cabinet reshuffles, and actually when we’re choosing our candidates for the 2024 General Election, we’re going to let him put in on that too because we think he’s a great judge of character. “Like, come on.” The audience applauded his speech which has been widely shared on social media…

Eldin Fahmy, Professor of Social Policy at Bristol University, and part of Palestine Solidarity, joins Tony and Martin. “We oppose genocide, and therefore we support whatever nonviolent action might be required to stop it and to shut down the UK-based weapons manufacturers that are helping to enable it. We oppose genocide, therefore we support Palestine Action”, UK law professors set out why they signed open letter in support of Palestine Action Seven of the more than 100 academics to sign an open letter submitted to the High Court said they support ‘non violent action’ that might be required to stop genocide Several UK-based law professors have explained their decision to submit a letter to the Court of Appeal in support of the proscribed direct action group Palestine Action, as the court began hearing a government bid to keep the group banned under UK terror laws. Law Professor Neve Gordon at Queen Mary University of London and Professor Yvette Russell at the University of Bristol were among more than 100 academics to sign Tuesday’s open letter, composed of only seven words, which read: “We oppose genocide, we support Palestine Action.” Activists in support of Palestine Action hand-delivered the seven-word letter to the court on Tuesday, the same day that the government lodged its appeal against February’s ruling, which found the ban to be unlawful. Lady Chief of Justice Sue Carr confirmed that the judges had received the letter, with Carr reading it out in open court. Speaking to MEE on Thursday, seven of the professors that signed the letter defended their decision to do so, saying that because they opposed genocide, they “support whatever nonviolent action might be required to stop it”. “We oppose genocide because as academics who came of age in the decades that followed the second world war, we know that ‘never again’ must mean what it says,” they said in an email to Middle East Eye. “Since we oppose genocide and teach Law, we oppose, above all, any restrictions on one of the most fundamental principles of our entire judicial system and tradition – the hard-won principle that jurors have the right, indeed the duty, to hear and evaluate the whole truth of the case they are called upon to judge, and to acquit a defendant on the basis of their own independent judgment and conscience. “We oppose genocide, and therefore we support whatever nonviolent action might be required to stop it and to shut down the UK-based weapons manufacturers that are helping to enable it. We oppose genocide, therefore we support Palestine Action,” they said. “We support Palestine Action, and we call on all people of conscience and goodwill to join us in doing so,” the group added. More than 1,000 others also signed onto the letter, including leftist intellectual Tariq Ali, philosopher Judith Butler, writer Salley Rooney and activist Greta Thunberg.

Marketisation of universities. Universities mis selling a product – can students earn money back? Reform of higher education needed. Fighting privatisation in tertiary education We have one of the fastest growing private sectors in Europe and the level of private investment in tertiary education in the UK is already far above the EU and OECD averages. Fighting Privatisation Toolkit The government is committed to opening up the further and higher education sectors to ‘new providers’, especially those from the private sector. UCU is opposed to the privatisation of tertiary education. We think that the interests of our members, of the students and parents who are at the heart of education and of the wider society we serve, are best served by an education system that is funded and controlled by the public and that is democratically accountable to the citizens of the UK. Here you can read all about our campaigns against privatisation and download our resources. Education is not for profit The government is committed to de-regulating the higher education sector in favour of private companies, creating what it calls a ‘level playing field’ for profit-making companies. UCU has long been concerned that this will remove the academic checks and balances that protect standards in universities, allowing companies whose primary obligation is to their shareholders to drive down costs and opening the door to the kind of mis-selling, recruitment and fraud scandals seen in the USA recently. USIC pay freeze March 2026: Strike action has been taking place at University of Sheffield International College (USIC) over a pay freeze. USIC is owned by Study Group. Staff were told their cost of living pay increase, already delayed by six months, would be frozen for the second year in a row. Despite this, pay CEO Ian Chrichton took home over £600k in 2024, including a bonus of over £195k. The USIC UCU branch chair said: ‘Our members are angry that the college is being slowly run into the ground by an overpaid corporate leadership that shows no interest in quality of education.’ Falmouth University to bring on-campus academic staff in-house June 2023: After a long-running dispute Falmouth University is to bring on-campus academic staff in-house. The move means staff will automatically be enrolled onto the Teachers’ Pension Scheme (TPS). All new campus-based academic jobs will also be employed directly through the university, rather than a subsidiary company. Falmouth UCU members voted overwhelmingly to resolve the dispute and work constructively with management going forward. ALRA drama school goes into liquidation April 2022: The Academy of Live and Recorded Arts, based in London and Wigan, has announced it is going into liquidation. There was no warning given, and the first that either students or staff heard was a message on 4 April stating that the building was closed and that all staff were redundant from that date on. Secret discussions with the Office for Students (OfS) have led to an offer for students to transfer their studies to Rose Bruford but there was no such consideration for staff. UCU has highlighted the lax regulation of private educational providers: it is yet another stark reminder of the human consequences of government inaction. Government must bring colleges back into public ownership September 2020: The government needs to bring colleges back into public ownership and fund them properly, said UCU in response to a report on the financial sustainability of colleges from the National Audit Office: Bring colleges back into public ownership and fund them properly For-profit college goes into administration July 2019: UCU responded to the news that England’s biggest for profit college has gone into administration by calling on the government to look again at the funding free for all around private providers. Current students will now have to find alternative institutions from September: Controversial for-profit college goes bust leaving staff and students stranded…

China has free higher education. Censorship of academic voices by sponsors? Study Abroad in China. All You Need to Know about Tuition and Living Costs Many international students chose China for their studies abroad. But why? Well, China has been investing a lot in education over the last years and has developed partnerships with universities from the UK and US. Chinese universities offer quality education and have high-standard facilities. That’s why, over 100 higher education institutions are currently present in top rankings created by Times Higher Education and TopUniversities. But how expensive is it to live and study in China? Below, we’ll talk about average expenses, like tuition fees and living costs. We want to give you a general idea regarding what kind of budget you’ll need to study in the 4th largest country in the world. The average tuition fees in Chinese public universities range between 2,500 and 10,000 USD/academic year. You can also find several programmes with no tuition fees. These are usually offered by universities from other countries (e.g. the UK, Germany, Denmark), which have campuses in China. Tuition fees in private universities Private universities usually have higher tuition. While most courses cost under 30,000 USD/year, for some MBA programmes you can pay over 40,000 USD/year. Costs can be even higher in private institutions from other countries. For example, the New York University (NYU) Shanghai, established in collaboration with the East China Normal University of Shanghai, has tuition fees of over 50,000 USD/year. The most common accommodation options in China are: Student residence halls – prices range between 150 and 400 USD/month. Renting a flat – expect to pay between 300 and 1,000 USD/month for a one-bedroom apartment (depending on the city, the location of the apartment and the included facilities). Living with a Chinese family– between 350 and 550 USD/month…

King Charles’s speech at dinner in US. Is Trump different to other US leaders or is it just his methods?

Matt Kennard article – US, UK defence agreement. UK participating in Iran war although Starmer says they’re not. We still don’t know what’s in the 2020 UK-Israel defence pact The UK and Israel signed a secret military pact in 2020. British governments hate transparency, as we know so the public isn’t allowed to know anything of note about this defence agreement. This week we were reminded of its existence once again by journalist Matt Kennard. When the agreement was done, there were many celebratory social media posts, including from the Israeli military. Here is the head of strategy of the Foreign, Common and Development Office, Neil Wigan, a former UK ambassador to Israel, doing the same. You can read an excellent breakdown of recent UK-Israel military cooperation here for context. Defence agreement to boost ‘military cooperation’ In 2020, the UK Defence Journal (UKDJ) wrote: Most of the agreement is highly classified, but the cooperation will include defence medical training, organisational design concepts and defence education. UKDJ also cited a UK-Israel thinktank named BICOM as having said: Military cooperation has been growing over the last decade with the relationship viewed as mutually beneficial. The same report stated: In October, it was reported that the British had been given access to Israel’s Rhino mobile headquarters, designed by Elbit Systems. The British Army said the system helps to “reduce the size of the headquarters, makes it less vulnerable and able to make and communicate decisions faster. Israel’s Rhino headquarters is a form of networked command vehicle. You can read about it via Army Recognition. An October 2020 article on Middle East Forum said: For three weeks in October the British looked at various new technologies. One of the innovative designs is by Israel’s Elbit Systems and is called the “Rhino mobile headquarters.” It uses advanced digital technology to link together units in the field and commanders with the best information possible to help achieve results on the battlefield….

King Charles’s speech at Congress – US, UK special relationship. I am mindful that we are still in the season of Easter. The season that most strengthens my hope. It is why I believe with all my heart that the essence of our two nations is a generosity of spirit and a duty to foster compassion, to promote peace, to deepen mutual understanding, and to value all people of all faiths and of none. The alliance that our two nations have built over the centuries and for which we are profoundly grateful to the American people is truly unique. And that alliance is part of what Henry Kissinger described as Kennedy’s soaring vision of an Atlantic partnership based on twin pillars, Europe and America. That partnership, I believe, Mr. Speaker, is more important today than it has ever been. The first reigning British sovereign to set foot in America was my grandfather, King George V 6th. He visited in 1939 with my beloved grandmother, Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. The forces of fascism in Europe were on the march. And sometime before the United States had joined us in the defense of freedom, our shared values prevailed. Today, we find ourselves in a new era, but those values remain. It is an era that is in many ways more volatile and more dangerous than the world to which my late mother spoke in this chamber in 1991. The challenges we face are too great for any one nation to bear alone. But in this unpredictable environment, our alliance cannot rest on past achievements or assume that foundational principles simply endure. As um my prime minister said last month, ours is an indispensable partnership. We must not disregard everything that has sustained us for the last 80 years. Instead, we must build on it. Renewal. Renewal today starts with security. The United Kingdom recognizes that the threats we face demand a transformation in British defense. That is why our country in order to be fit for the future has committed to the biggest sustained increase in defense spending since the Cold War. During part of which over 50 years ago, I served with immense pride in the Royal Navy, following in the naval footsteps of my father, Prince Philip Duke of Edinburgh, my grandfather, King George V 6th, my great uncle, Lord Mountbatton, and my great-grandfather, King George V. This year of course also marks the 25th anniversary of 9/11. This atrocity was uh a defining moment for America and your pain and shock were felt around the whole world. During my visit to New York, uh my wife and I will again pay our respects to the victims, the families, and the bravery shown in the face of terrible loss. We stood with you then and we stand with you now in solemn remembrance of a day that shall never be forgotten. In the immediate aftermath of 9/11, when NATO invoked Article 5 for the first time and the United Nations Security Council was united in the face of terror, we answered the call together as our people have done so for more than a century, shoulderto-shoulder through two world wars, the Cold War, Afghanistan, and moments that have defined our shared security. Today, Mr. Speaker, that same unyielding resolve is needed for the defense of Ukraine and her most courageous people. It is needed in order to secure a truly just and lasting peace. From the depths of the Atlantic to the disastrously melting ice caps of the Arctic, the commitment and expertise of the United States armed forces and its allies lie at the heart of NATO.

West’s destruction of Middle East. Middle East local communities good.  Communal living in Beirut Growing numbers of young people opt for shared homes in order to afford living in Beirut, experiencing a different lifestyle – and freedom The realm of beit mouchtarak (communal living), bringing mostly students and young professionals together, has been expanding in Beirut. Increasing rents but also expanding the prospect of freedoms that living at home does not provide, communal living has attracted more and more young people and couples. Among the most sought-after – and costly because they are located in hip areas with rooms priced $300 to $700 and above per month – are those close to universities and nightlife: Hamra, Gemmayzeh, Mar Mikhael and Achrafieh. Top priorities are avoiding nearby construction sites and finding (around-the-clock) electricity, wi-fi, air conditioning, parking and nice co-habitants in addition to personal liberties. Many locals, though, struggle to afford Beirut: “U want 3 months = $2700 + deposit $900 + broker fees $900, which adds up to a total of $4500 – seriously!” an angry woman recently posted in response to an estate agent’s offer on Facebook. Living spaces and flatmates are often found within social networks. There are dozens of groups on Facebook, and through notes and posts put up in strategic places such as university notice boards or in cafes, in emails that circulate, waseet (classifieds) or through friends. Many set-ups bring together people who previously were strangers. “Whenever I shared a flat with friends it would be the continuation of a story we both knew. The only difference would be tackling the new-found issues like hygiene, smoking indoors incompatibility, pets, etc,” Natheer Halawani, 30, said. “But when it came to strangers, I would instantly take a stranger over somebody I knew.” Nadia Younes, 27, a veteran in communal living, has effectively done so. “In the past two years, I have met three out of the five roommates I have had in my current flat from the apartments on the Beirut [Facebook] page,” she told MEE. She checks candidates’ Facebook pages before making up her mind. Younes is clear about what she will and won’t put up with. “I simply expect them to respect the shared living space,” she put forward. “And to be able to share in responsibilities for the flat such as paying bills, talking to the natour [concierge], flipping the switch for the generator, cleaning the bathroom and kitchen and to contribute to general expenses.” She also insists on courtesy, which includes general greetings and to be given a little notice before groups of friends come over. Hot spots are usually the shared kitchen and bathroom, with dirty dishes, clogged up drains, toilet seats left up, smoking rules – and rules in general. “We had very strict rules for cleaning up the shared spaces and were more lax about sharing the cost of living as we were both on very limited allowance from our parents,” Nathalie Diab, 32, recalled of her Achrafieh student commune. Halawani also believed in rules: “We had many rules. What worked best was having one main tenant that would take care of everything including bills. Usually this would result in the main tenant paying less.” Harb, however, in one flat stopped enforcing the rules. “It was too much emotional energy spent. And as a result, I am no longer friends with the girls I used to live with.”

Stabbing of Jews in Golders Green – 48,000 stabbings annually. Why are there so many stabbings in Britain? A total of 51,527 knife crime offenses were recorded in England and Wales in the 12 months up until June 2025, excluding the region of Greater Manchester, according to the UK’s Office of National Statistics (data is recorded differently in Manchester). Of these offenses, 196 were homicides, the ONS said. Notably, the overall number of recorded knife crime offenses in the year leading up to June 2025 fell 5% when compared with the year before. While the issue of knife crime is a “serious social concern,” it “should not be a source of moral hysteria,” Iain Overton, executive director of the non-governmental organization Action on Armed Violence told CNN on Monday. In the year leading up to March 2024, 570 homicides took place in England and Wales, according to ONS, with 262 homicides committed using a knife or other sharp instrument. The most commonly used instrument in these homicides was a kitchen knife, ONS said. Shooting killed only 22 of the victims. A total of 64 teenagers aged between 13 and 19 were killed in this time frame, ONS said, with 83% of these victims being killed by a knife or sharp instrument. Because not all knife crime offenses are reported to police, hospital data can also help in understanding the extent of the issue. From April 2024 to 2025, there were 3,494 instances in which patients were admitted to hospital in England for assault by sharp object, according to NHS England data. Nearly 90% of patients treated were male, with 16% of patients aged 18 or under. Scotland and Northern Ireland record crime separately to England and Wales. A total of 28 homicides were committed by sharp instrument in Scotland from 2023 to 2024, and four in Northern Ireland in the same time frame. In the United States, a total of 1,704 people were killed by a “cut” or “pierce” in 2023, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This type of crime is the result of “an incision, slash, perforation, or puncture by a pointed or sharp instrument, weapon, or object,” according to US public service organization The National Safety Council.

Israeli false flags. Jonathan Hall – Pro Palestinian marches encourage anti Semitism – banning of IRGC. The Stop the War Coalition has labelled attempts to link the Golders Green attack with pro-Palestine marches as “false” and “unacceptable,” as speculation mounts that the UK authorities will try to ban anti-genocide demonstrations.

Pro Palestinian marches on 9th in Bristol and 16th May in London.  Bristol Palestine Solidarity Campaign Saturday 09 May, 12 Noon Bristol Nakba78 – March for Palestine Assemble Bandstand, Castle Park, BS1 3XB Nakba means ‘catastrophe’ in Arabic. It refers to the ethnic cleansing of 750,000+ Palestinians in 1948 by Zionist colonists leading to the ‘State of Israel’. It is observed on 15th May. As a second Nakba unfolds, join us in demanding an end to genocide, occupation, and apartheid. Defend the right of Palestinians to: • EXIST as a sovereign, free people • RESIST tyranny and oppression • RETURN to their historic homeland All of Palestine is occupied. From the River to the Sea, Palestinians Must be Free! Organised by local groups including Bristol Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Stop the War, Bristol Apartheid Free Zone and Bristol Trades Union Council – The right to protest is a fundamental freedom In Latest news, Press Releases and Statements In the wake of the horrific antisemitic attack in Golders Green, politicians and the media have rushed to falsely characterise the marches for Palestine and to call for them to be suspended. These calls dangerously conflate Jewish people with the state of Israel and peaceful political protest with unconnected violent acts. We utterly reject both. On Saturday 16 May we will march in London for the annual commemoration of the Nakba – the catastrophe inflicted on the Palestinians by Israel since 1948. We will march in opposition to the British government’s complicity in Israel’s well-documented ethnic cleansing, apartheid, and genocide. This year, we will also march against Tommy Robinson and his far-right supporters mobilising on the same day. The organisers of the demonstration are fascists, racists, and islamophobes who have espoused the antisemitic great replacements theory. As always, our march will involve thousands of Jewish people – many of them proudly displaying their Jewish identity – as part of the Jewish Bloc, as organisers and platform speakers. By bringing together people from all backgrounds and walks of life, we will reaffirm opposition to all forms of racism including anti-Palestinian racism, antisemitic, and Islamophobia. The right to protest is a fundamental democratic freedom that must be protected. We call on all those who believe in the universal principles of freedom, justice, and equality to join us at 12 noon on Exhibition Road on Saturday 16 May. Join us – Nakba 78 March with us on the streets of London, 16 May 2026.

New UK Ambassador to US, after Mandelson, Christian Turner, says Israel has special relationship with US, not UK. Epstein scandal. America’s special relationship is ‘probably Israel’, says UK ambassador to US In leaked remarks, Christian Turner also says it is ‘extraordinary’ that Epstein scandal has not affected sex offender’s US associates Britain’s ambassador to Washington has said that America’s only “special relationship” is “probably Israel”, not the UK, in remarks that risk embarrassing King Charles during his visit to the US this week. Sir Christian Turner also criticised America’s political system for failing to hold US associates of the sex offender Jeffrey Epstein to account, saying it was “extraordinary” that the scandal “hasn’t touched anybody” in the US. He noted that, by contrast, senior British figures, including his predecessor as ambassador Lord Peter Mandelson and “potentially the prime minister”, had been “brought down” by the affair. A recording of the remarks, made in mid-February at an event with UK students visiting Washington, shortly after Turner started in post, was shared with the FT this week. In comments that are outspoken for a senior diplomat, he said UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer had been “on the ropes” earlier this year from the fallout over the appointment of Mandelson, and that the Labour Party could “remove” him after local elections in May. During a question-and-answer session, Turner said he disliked the phrase “special relationship” to describe Anglo-American ties, complaining that it was “quite nostalgic, it’s quite backwards-looking, and it has a lot of baggage about it”. He added: “I think there is probably one country that has a special relationship with the United States — and that is probably Israel.” The comments were made in the weeks running up to the US-Israeli strikes on Iran that began the current conflict in the Middle East. Turner said that London’s link to Washington was nonetheless “so strong”, adding: “There is a deep history and affinity between us. Particularly on defence and security, we are intertwined.” But he added that: “The relationship will carry on, if you want, being ‘special’, but I think it’s going to have to be different.” Britain and the rest of Europe must “work to redefine” the relationship, particularly on defence grounds, instead of relying on a US security umbrella, he said. The UK also needed to make clear what it brought to the table in the bilateral relationship, he said. Turner answered questions about the Epstein scandal and the contrast in how it had played out on either side of the Atlantic. He said it appeared to him “extraordinary” that the scandal over the convicted sex offender had “brought down a senior member of the royal family [Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor], a British ambassador to Washington, potentially the prime minister, and yet here in the US, it really hasn’t touched anybody”. He said it was an “interesting question” about the “different levels of accountability in our systems”. The remarks have come to light ahead of the King’s address to Congress on Tuesday afternoon, as he and Queen Camilla undertake a four-day state visit to the US, which will also take in New York. The King and Queen have resisted intense pressure from campaigners and US congressman Ro Khanna to meet some of Epstein’s victims while in the country. The royal visit has been regarded by British government figures as a salve for the bilateral relationship at a time of severe strain following US President Donald Trump’s repeated attacks on Starmer and criticism of Britain for refusing to offer more support to the US-Israel war against Iran. During his speech at the welcome ceremony for the British royals, Trump hailed the two nations’ “unique bond and role in history”, calling it “the essence of our special relationship, and we hope it will always remain that way”. Turner acknowledged that US legislators aimed to “bring to account some of those senior figures” associated with Epstein, including inviting Mandelson and Mountbatten-Windsor to testify before Congress. However, he added: “How many Americans have been called to testify before Congress when the Epstein files show very, very senior people, politicians, business folks, Bill Gates, all having a close association with Epstein?” Since Turner’s remarks, Gates, the Turning to the appointment and subsequent sacking of Mandelson, Turner said the saga was a “crisis” that “has nearly brought down the government and ended the prime minister’s tenure”. The diplomat said of Starmer’s premiership earlier in February that “at one stage he was pretty clearly on the ropes” and his future looked “quite touch and go”. The Labour Party’s rules set a high threshold to remove a sitting prime minister, Turner noted, highlighting that it required 80 MPs to “sign a letter in public, which is like signing a death warrant”. Reaching such a bar was “still quite difficult” and Starmer was “a stubborn guy” who would be unlikely to quit, the ambassador said. However, he added: “The moment I would look to is the May elections. If Labour does very badly . . . I suspect the party will be able to go over that threshold and remove him — seems to me to be the conventional thinking.” He added: “If they do OK, he might carry on going . . . That’s just for me as a citizen speculating because I have to serve whomever is there.” Turner offered his view of the key issue governing Mandelson’s appointment, saying “the vetting thing’s a bit of a red herring”. “The problem was he had a bunch of associations that were embarrassing to him and the government that had not been revealed,” he added. “And, arguably, once they were uncovered, the prime minister moved to sack him.” Turner’s comments were never intended as public statements of government policy, UK officials stressed. Sir Peter Westmacott, a previous UK ambassador to the US, defended Turner. He told the FT: “It can be embarrassing when remarks intended for a private audience are made public, but I see no reason why what he said to a group of students a couple of months ago need affect his ability to continue the excellent start he has made in DC.” A Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office spokesperson said: “These were private, informal comments made to a group of UK sixth-form students visiting the US in early February. They are certainly not any reflection of the UK government’s position.”

Ex- UK Ambassador to Syria and Bahrain, Peter Ford – US, Israel special relationship – was Mandelson appointed to cover secrets – the key point in in what the ambassador said was that the only country that had a special relationship was Israel. Um, and uh, I think the Israelis would have had an interest in in leaking this um, this tit um, put the boot into the UK to u unsettle uh, us and to assert their own standing uh, because Israel is a jealous lover that does not tolerate a third party in bed with itself and the United states and we witnessed during the recent visit uh just a few days ago in Congress uh Congress rose to its feet in a standing ovation 12 times for Charles. A few months ago they rose to their feet standing ovation for Netanyahu 53 times. I think that uh makes it fairly clear who’s special in the eyes of Washington. Yeah. Well, interesting way to look at it. And you’re you’re quite right about the numbers, too. Uh but but you know, you’re talking about us being abused in the UK by the United States. It doesn’t look like that, does it? When you look at uh King Charles and Donald Trump, it looks as if King Charles is cocking a snook at Trump and he’s somehow superior. In fact, he’s actually uh gently insulting Trump um and correcting him uh almost like a sort of grandfather figure. Uh so it doesn’t quite square with what you’re saying about Britain being a sort of lesser partner here. Look, Tony, Charles should not have gone there. Should never have gone there. He’s doing Trump an enormous favor by even going there. Uh the small price that Trump is paying is to tolerate Charles’s m Charles’s mild uh chiding of him. He’s got the big prize. The king of England, the king of England, for Evan’s sake, has visited the monster of the White House, who is fresh from uh waging illegitimate war in the Middle East, uh who has been talking about destroying civilizations. I mean, the idea that the British monarch should dream of going there. I mean, it’s like, well, I’m sorry I have to drag Hitler [laughter] in here, but the parallel is so obvious. If the king of England had thought that he’d visit Germany in the immediate aftermath of Germany’s uh [clears throat] invasion of Czechoslovakia, uh it would have been unthinkable and it should similarly have been unthinkable for Charles. It it’s demeaning again. It’s pathetic. He He’s not my king. He’s not our king by going to pay court to the emperor of America. He should never have gone. He should They the monarchy isn’t useful for much. But they could the monarchy could have struck a blow for everything that is decent and right by by doing nothing, by just not going to America. Now, uh the headlines uh change from time to time. You get a headline and you know half an hour later it’s changed, an hour later it’s changed again. That’s the way of the internet. It’s not like the old newspapers once it’s in print that’s it. Uh and one of the independent headlines uh this week as yesterday was uh the king’s US visit palace responds after Trump claims Charles supports the US Iran war. Now this is after their little quiet chitchat behind the scenes. I mean, on the surface of it, it looks as if um this is something that that Trump is just kind of blurting out because he likes to do this. Um where he maybe was supposed to be keeping his mouth shut. Do you think that Charles, it’s possible Charles did say to him that quietly that Britain does support him? Uh it’s all playing with words. I’ve no doubt that Charles was briefed to say that um while u the British government may have expressed some disqu uh we do of course support the objective of um bringing of preventing Iran from ever having a nuclear weapon and that is British policy. That is British policy right or or wrong. Um, but I think Trump as always uh twisted it uh to give the impression that Charles supported his launching the war uh which I I’m 99% certain Charles uh did not say he supported. He would not have departed from his brief in that way.

BREACH OF PROTOCOL, THE FLY ON THE WALL? After confidential meeting Trump tells press King Charles told him the UK supported his war on Iran. Trump defied protocol by relaying details of private chat with king. A state dinner honouring King Charles III and Queen Camilla was overshadowed by an unexpected diplomatic disclosure as President Donald Trump claimed the British monarch had privately agreed with him on Iran’s nuclear ambitions. The comments, made during Tuesday’s event, sparked mild consternation among UK pundits, highlighting a significant breach of royal protocol. Speaking to attendees, Trump recounted a private meeting earlier in the day, stating: “We’re doing a little Middle East work right now … and we’re doing very well.” He continued, “We have militarily defeated that particular opponent, and we’re never going to let that opponent ever — Charles agrees with me, even more than I do — we’re never going to let that opponent have a nuclear weapon.” While the sentiment regarding Iran might resonate with many Britons, publicly relaying a private conversation with the sovereign is unusual. British convention dictates such discussions remain confidential, partly to ensure the monarch stays above the political fray. Crucially, the King cannot publicly engage in debate or correct the record if misquoted, making such disclosures particularly sensitive. Craig Prescott, an expert on constitutional law and the monarchy at Royal Holloway, University of London, underscored the gravity of the situation. “Generally, as a matter of protocol, I think I would expect discussions between heads of state to be sort of behind the scenes, in those closed meetings, for those to be sort of kept private,” he said. “And, you know, this was something that the U.K. government wanted to avoid.” The incident occurred amid considerable apprehension surrounding the King’s US trip. The visit, carefully choreographed by the UK government, aimed partly to mend a rift from Trump’s frustration with Prime Minister Keir Starmer over his stance on the Iran war. The hope was that warm relations between the King and Trump, who seems to love all things royal, could help bridge diplomatic divides. However, Trump’s unconventional leadership style and penchant for breaking protocol had raised concerns about potential missteps. Buckingham Palace swiftly issued a statement to provide context, asserting: “The King is naturally mindful of his government’s long-standing and well-known position on the prevention of nuclear proliferation.” Prescott noted that the central concern had always been Trump’s unpredictable nature. “In a sense, this was always the issue, just what Trump would do or say — would he put the king in an embarrassing position,” he said, adding, “You always had that sort of issue of what he would post on social media. And I think, you know, this could have been much, much worse.” Prior to the state dinner, King Charles delivered a speech to a joint session of the US Congress, receiving repeated standing ovations. His address celebrated the enduring bonds between the two nations while acknowledging differences on issues such as Nato, support for Ukraine, and the need to combat climate change…

Nigel Day from Nuke Watch – how nukes are taken around UK. NukewatchUK Watching Britain’s Weapons of Mass Destruction Nuclear weapons convoy routes The components for the warheads are made at AWE Aldermaston (Atomic Weapons Establishment) in Berkshire and taken to nearby AWE Burghfield for assembly. The convoys take the completed warheads from Burghfield north to Coulport on Loch Long, north of Glasgow. At Loch Long the carriers are unloaded and the warheads placed in underground bunkers in the Trident Area. When required they are taken to the Explosive Handling Jetty at Coulport where they are fitted onto the missiles on the Trident submarines. The warheads require to be checked every so often and batch samples are taken from the Coulport depot to Burghfield and returned to Coulport after servicing. The frequency of convoys varies but is usually around six a year. The MOD prefers convoys to travel on motorways and A roads but at either end of the route they must use smaller roads. Not all roads are passable due to the great weight of the convoy trucks. There is an eastern route, mainly relying on the A1(M), and a western route using the M6/M74, although they sometimes go across country from one to the other. Emergency exercises take place on bases in East Anglia and occasionally elsewhere. IMPORTANT : Remember Nuclear Warhead Convoys can be seen on other routes. It is vital that you tell someone from Nukewatch whenever you see one.

Matt Ehret in Canada – history of UK, US special relationship – Henry Kissinger – who’s really in charge? They were largely devoted to the idea of of infiltrating and taking a new strategy of of multi-generational planning to infiltrate and subdue uh and ultimately undermine the foundations of the United States from within. And one of the core instruments as well as something patronized by uh King Charles III even today which was set up in 1902 uh the same year as the roads trust was set up of the Anglo American uh friendship organisation known as the uh the pilgrim society and uh it was presided over as a chair one of the chairman was Henry Kissinger for for many many years and the leading figures of the US establishment uh the highest you know blueb blood families uh the the Morgans, the Vanderbilts have all been patrons and members of this agency. Tucker Carlson himself is a is a member the he’s part as was his father. So I I see that there has been a long-term agenda to try to work to infiltrate and then dismantle whatever was viable about the United States from within directed by British intelligence, the city of London for a very long time. And I am concerned that the stage has been set, a trap has been set. To what degree Trump is aware of this, I don’t know, to absorb uh the US back into the the fold as part of the the new 21st century commonwealth. Now, it’s funny because uh you know the uh the king actually mentioned Henry Kissinger too in his speech to Congress. Uh he’s quite an important and a powerful figure uh it seems and he’s eulogized even though of course he was responsible for all sorts of trouble around the world in Indonesia, Cyprus just to name a couple, Chile uh using using US projecting US power uh in regime change operations for decades. Suddenly he’s part of this system um of shared British and American values. Yes. And you know he was made a knight of the order of St. George and St. Michael. People don’t know this uh in 1993 by Queen Elizabeth uh I uh for his service to the empire um a year before George Bush senior was made also a member of the same chivalick order of St. Michael and St. George. One of the things that Kissinger had even said at Chatham House in 1981, May 10th, he gave a speech um appraising US British special relations and especially the the special relationship that was set up by Truman at the death of Franklin Roosevelt where uh in Kissinger speech number one, he outlined the two opposing policy doctrines uh between Churchill and that of FDR of what the post-war world was supposed to look like, saying that he much preferred Churchill as the wisest of the statesman as far as Churchill’s commitment to restore the the grander of a new kind of British empire with uh as Churchill had said uh a world run by American brawn and British brains.

Big Tech in US – Theosophy – Theosophy: The Hidden Religion of the Global Ruling Class How Theosophy infiltrated the UN, Big Tech, and wellness culture to pave the way for a one-world faith You have heard of Marxism. You have heard of Darwin. You have heard of Freud. Christians have spilled oceans of ink warning about their corrosive impact on Western civilisation. But you have probably never heard of Theosophy. That ignorance is not an accident. Theosophy is the hidden religion of the ruling class, the occult philosophy that has quietly shaped everything from global governance to New Age mysticism to technocratic utopianism. And it is not simply a philosophy. It is a demonic counterfeit of Christianity. If the average churchgoer understood what Theosophy was and where it leads, they would recognize that the world religion of the End Times is already here, slowly tightening its grip. The remarkable thing is that nobody tells you this. Your pastors are silent. The so-called Christian intellectuals waste their breath chasing partisan politics. And the mainstream press dismisses it as the hobby of spiritual cranks. Yet here at Insight to Incite, I pull the curtain back. I show you that behind the bland smiles of global bureaucrats and the gentle marketing of meditation apps lies an old religion whispering through the centuries. When Scripture warns that “in later times some will depart from the faith, devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons” (1 Timothy 4:1), this is what it looks like Theosophy began in the late nineteenth century with Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, a Russian mystic who claimed to receive revelations from “ascended masters.” She wrote fat volumes like Isis Unveiled and The Secret Doctrine which were less books than grimoires, channeled collections of demon-speech. Blavatsky presented herself as a wise woman unveiling a secret gospel hidden for centuries. In reality, she was constructing a demonic system of religion that fused Hindu reincarnation, Buddhist enlightenment, gnostic mysticism, and occult spiritism into one grand counterfeit. Theosophy taught that mankind is evolving through successive “root races.” Each cycle is overseen by these ascended masters, spiritual beings who supposedly guide the progress of humanity toward godhood. There is no need for Christ or His cross in this system. Redemption is not found in His blood but in endless cycles of reincarnation, climbing higher and higher through spiritual ladders until man becomes divine. It is Genesis 3 recycled, the serpent whispering again that “you shall be like gods.” Theosophy baptized this lie in exotic terminology, pulling from India and Tibet to make it sound ancient and noble. It spoke of karma, cosmic brotherhood, and hidden wisdom reserved for initiates. It sounded profound, but it was the same old demonic lie with a new mask. In its pages, Satan himself is recast not as the enemy of mankind but as the liberator of light. Blavatsky once wrote, “It is Satan who is the god of our planet and the only god.” These are not scholarly curiosities. They are the blueprint of Antichrist religion. The genius of Theosophy was that it built a comprehensive theology to rival Christianity. It had a doctrine of creation, where divine sparks were scattered into matter. It had a doctrine of sin, where ignorance and attachment to materiality trapped us in cycles of reincarnation. It had a doctrine of salvation, where spiritual elites revealed esoteric knowledge to help mankind ascend. And it had a doctrine of eschatology, where a final enlightened race would usher in an age of unity and brotherhood. It was a parallel gospel. A false kingdom with false apostles and false promises. Yet unlike many heresies, it was never content to live in the shadows. Theosophy deliberately sought cultural influence. It wanted schools, political movements, publishing houses, and global organizations. Blavatsky’s successors such as Annie Besant, Rudolf Steiner, and Alice Bailey all pushed these ideas into the bloodstream of Western civilization. Bailey even founded the Lucifer Publishing Company, later renamed Lucis Trust, which remains embedded inside the United Nations to this day. What began as a séance in a Russian parlor became a movement that could whisper into the ears of statesmen, educators, and media elites. And it continues to this hour…

Jeffrey Sachs on Judge Napolitano – Prof. Jeffrey Sachs : Is Trump Trapped? Judge Napolitano – Judging Freedom Prof. Jeffrey Sachs : Is Trump Trapped?

Accelerating towards Armageddon as a religious idea – the Samson Doctrine – the Shock Doctrine – New Leak Reveals Israel’s ‘Samson Option’ Includes American Cities on Nuclear Target List A trove of documents released this week, reportedly obtained through a cyberattack on Israeli military intelligence servers, appears to confirm long-speculated claims about Israel’s “Samson Option”—a last-resort nuclear strategy to destroy the world if Israeli existence is threatened. Among the most alarming revelations: a list of nuclear targets that includes major cities in the United States and Europe. The files were reportedly released by Iranian cyber operatives and are currently being examined by multiple Western intelligence agencies. If authenticated, the materials could have profound implications for global diplomacy and nuclear stability. According to security analysts who have reviewed the leaked documents, cities identified in the alleged target list include New York, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, and the NORAD command center in Colorado. Also named are Brussels, Paris, Berlin, Moscow, Beijing, and Tehran. The documents outline a doctrine of “mutual destruction not limited to direct aggressors,” implying that nations deemed complicit or passively supportive of Israel’s hypothetical demise could also be targeted. The “Samson Option” Explained Named after the biblical figure Samson—who brought down a temple, killing himself and his enemies—the doctrine has long been rumored but never officially acknowledged by Israeli authorities. It’s understood by some defense analysts as a form of extreme nuclear deterrence, aimed at preventing any coalition from attempting to eliminate the Israeli state. “This is not traditional deterrence,” said one senior NATO defense advisor speaking on background. “It resembles a diplomatic suicide vest. If the files are real, it shows Israel is prepared to take the rest of the world down with it in the event of existential collapse.”…

Police State UK: Met Police Commissioner wants ZIO-COPS on London streets – takes on political role. Extra armed Police to protect Jews. Is Iran, US war continuing over weekend? Met chief: We need special police force to protect Jews Sir Mark Rowley proposes government-funded unit to tackle anti-Semitism ‘epidemic’ The Metropolitan Police needs a new specialist force to protect Jewish people from “a pandemic of anti-Semitism” in the wake of the Golders Green attack, Sir Mark Rowley has said. On Friday, the Met Commissioner said he had submitted a proposal to Shabana Mahmood, the Home Secretary, for the Government to fund a permanent unit of about 300 extra neighbourhood and armed officers to combat the “epidemic” of anti-Semitism. He said it was not “sustainable” for his force to be “dragging” officers and resources from other parts of London to protect the community after the stabbing of two Jewish men in north London on Wednesday and a surge in arson attacks on synagogues and other Jewish organisations. Sir Mark said he was considering whether to seek to ban two marches next month, one pro-Palestinian and one anti-immigration. It came as Essa Suleiman, 45, a Somali-born British man, was charged with attempted murder over the Golders Green attacks. He was Tasered and arrested by police on Wednesday. “We’re facing a building pandemic of anti-Semitism in society,” said Sir Mark. “My problem is we’re dealing with the policing. We’re dealing with the symptoms of that disease. We need work done to tackle those attitudes in society which are far too prevalent. “But I need the strength in my resources to be able to tackle those symptoms to best effect and reassure Jewish communities that we’re doing everything possible to keep them safe.” Sir Mark said the extra officers would require “sizeable” annual funding from the Home Office, larger than the £25m announced on Thursday to boost policing and other community measures. The money would expand neighbourhood policing teams in Jewish communities, create a new community policing hub and increase teams of detectives to speed up hate crime investigations. This year, the Met has been forced to cut 1,700 officers, police community support officers and staff after it was left with a £260m funding black hole. Sir Mark continued: “We need to target those most at risk. The Jewish community suffers far more hate crimes per capita than any other community in London. We’re going to tip more resources towards it, and we need government support to make that sustainable.”…

‘When strikes become a reality depends on what comes next. Sleep well, European partners!’ Russia warning they may attack UK drone sites. Russia names four UK locations as targets and warns strikes could ‘become a reality’ Russia has issued a direct threat to four UK locations that it says have been aiding Ukraine and contributing to ‘dragging’ Europe into the conflict. Dmitry Medvedev, the former Russian president and Vladimir Putin’s deputy head of security council, released a list of 23 sites he says are now in the crosshairs of the Russian armed forces for supporting Ukraine in the production of attack drones. In a post on X, he wrote: ‘Russian Defense Ministry’s statement must be taken literally: the list of European facilities which make drones & other equipment is a list of potential targets for the Russian armed forces. ‘When strikes become a reality depends on what comes next.

The UK locations identified were Reading, street addresses in London and Leicester, and a road running through the RAF/USAF base in Mildenhall, Suffolk, which is predominantly used by the United States Air Force and commonly referred to as its ‘gateway to the United Kingdom’.

Last hereditary peers given marching orders. Does removing hereditary peers from the Lords benefit Britain? A seismic moment in UK political history has passed with barely a whimper – A thousand years of history has ended with nothing much more in the way of ceremonial pomp and circumstance than a short speech by a former minister in the Thatcher government, Michael Forsyth, now speaker of the House of Lords, and an appreciative post on X by the leader of the opposition, Kemi Badenoch. And so, with the end of this session of parliament, the remaining hereditary peers have finally departed their gilded chamber with its red benches and royal thrones, no longer legislators for the common people. It’s a moment, as they say, if a muted one. Some 115 years after the first serious assault on their privileges, what Lloyd George called “Mr Balfour’s poodle” because of its obedience to the wishes of the then Tory party leader, has been finally euthanised. What have we gained? Well, it has to be said that the House of Lords is no more democratic now than it was before, and it is now a wholly appointed chamber – no one has elected any of them. The 2024 Labour manifesto promised an “immediate modernisation” to “remove the right of hereditary peers to sit and vote in the House of Lords”. However, not much seems to be happening on “replacing the House of Lords with an alternative second chamber that is more representative of the regions and nations”. Certain Labour peers have also objected to the mandatory retirement age of 80, because they’ve only really just got going. What have we lost? Undeniably an incredible, almost unbroken, thread of history. Interrupted only by the relatively brief Cromwellian Commonwealth in the 1660s, there has been some sort of assembly of “nobles” to advise the monarch since the 11th-century Witan – “an Anglo-Saxon political body made up of councils consulted by Saxon kings and attended by religious leaders, magnates and the king’s ministers”, according to the official parliamentary record. The oldest peerage with a seat in the Lords until this week could be said to be that of the Lord Great Chamberlain, created in 1126. Some of the various peers that have now departed argue that the public service their families have furnished over centuries gives them a stake in the nation’s fortunes and a truly long-term vision of what the country is all about. Aside from such mysticism and sentimentality, some of the hereditaries brought expertise to the role and took their job of lifelong legislators and defenders of the constitution seriously. It is certainly striking to see, until now, familiar names from history, in the form of their descendants, still playing a role on the national stage – the Duke of Wellington, Lord Russell, Viscount Astor, Earl Attlee and so on….

Ousting of Iranian Shah in 1979 not all it seems? article. Were BP behind the 1979 Iranian revolution? William Engdahl book on Shah. At the time, the Shah was negotiating a 25-year oil agreement with British Petroleum (BP), but talks broke down in October. BP demanded exclusive rights to future Iranian output but refused to guarantee oil purchases. The Shah balked and was on the verge of independently seeking new buyers with eager ones lined up in Germany, France, Japan and elsewhere. Washington and London were alarmed and acted. They implemented destabilization plans, starting with cutting Iranian oil purchases. Economic pressures followed, and trained US and UK agitators exacerbated them by fanning religious discontent and overall turmoil. Oil strikes as well were used. They crippled production and made things worse. American security advisors recommended Iran’s Savak secret police use repressive tactics to maximize antipathy to the Shah. The Carter administration cynically protested human rights abuses, and BBC correspondents exaggerated anti-Shah protests to rev up hysteria against him. At the same time, it gave Khomeini an open platform to speak and prevented the Shah from replying. Things came to a head in January, 1979 when he fled the country, and Khomeini returned to Tehran and proclaimed a theocratic state. Chaos was unleashed, and by May the new regime cancelled plans for further nuclear reactor development. At the same time, Iran’s oil exports were cut off, and the Saudis inexplicably cut their own in January. Spot prices skyrocketed, and a second oil shock ensued that was as deviously conceived as the first one. Then it got worse. In October, newly appointed Fed Chairman Paul Volker unleashed a new scheme that turned calamity into catastrophe by design. It was a radical new monetary policy on the pretext of “squeezing inflation out of the system.” In fact, it was made-in-Washington fraud to preserve dollar hegemony, make it the world’s most sought currency, and crush industrial growth to let political and financial power prop up dollar strength. Volker succeeded by raising interest rates from 10% to 16% and finally 20% in weeks. World policy makers were stunned, economies plunged into the deepest recession since the 1930s, and the dollar began an extraordinary five year ascent. The combined effect of oil and Volker shocks took “the bloom off the nuclear rose” and ended its threat to Anglo-American oil supremacy. And if more was needed it came on March 28, 1979 in the middle of Pennsylvania at a place called Three Mile Island. Conveniently, at the same time The China Syndrome was released that fictionalized the ongoing event. The combined effect was public hysteria, and later investigation revealed critical valves had illegally been closed. In addition, FEMA controlled all news to create panic. The scheme worked, and Anglo-American supremacy was reasserted over the industrial and financial world. Nothing is stable forever, however, and within a decade new rumblings would be felt.

Toxic waste on Duchy Estate land in Wigan.  King’s private estate tried to sell land with UK’s ‘worst illegal waste dump’ to council KING Charles’s private estate tried to sell land that was contaminated with a large rotting illegal waste dump to a local authority, it has emerged. In January, a 25,000-ton site described as the UK’s “worst illegal waste dump” in Bickershaw, Wigan, was revealed to be largely on land owned by the Duchy of Lancaster, the King’s extensive private portfolio of properties and estates. Previously, the Duchy said it had offered to transfer the land to Wigan Council in July last year. However, a Freedom of Information Request by Channel 4 News found that the Duchy tried to sell the site to the local authority at full market price. The Duchy previously claimed that it is, in effect, exempt from regulations and duties to clean the site on account of an ancient feudal legal framework dating back some 750 years. Then in February, following revelations that the toxic illegal landfill was largely on the Duchy’s land, the estate followed up the offer to the council, offering to transfer the land for free. “We have discussed the matter with the Duchy Solicitor, who has confirmed the Duchy will transfer the property to the Council for nil value and with each party bearing their own costs in the hope that that will assist the Council in dealing with the property in conjunction with its own adjoining land,” the Duchy wrote. In the revealed correspondence, emails from the Duchy’s solicitors, Farrer & Co, show, in addition to the transfer offer, that the Duchy attempted to sell the contaminated land at market value to the council. In July, the Duchy reportedly wrote: “… it may be possible to sell the land to you. Any sale would have to be at open market value and the Duchy of Lancaster’s valuers, and our costs would have to be paid as well.” Wigan Council told Channel 4 News on Monday that it “respectfully declined” the Duchy’s offer. A Duchy of Lancaster spokesperson told Channel 4 News: “We continue to work with Wigan Council to try and find an effective resolution to the illegal waste site.” Last month, Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham said that the Duchy’s plan to hand contaminated land to the local council is “not an acceptable response”. The UK Government has since announced it will fund the clean-up of the Wigan site, although it has yet to begin…
