Part One – Local and National News Review

Upcoming Budget and cost of living crisis. Trump and Tariffs. Housing problems. Confidence slumps amid Budget fears and cost of living pain Business and household confidence is slumping amid fears of a brutal Budget next week – and as soaring food prices pile pressure on families. The warning signs for Chancellor Rachel Reeves came as it was claimed Britain is living beyond its means and must cut rampant spending. Yesterday, official figures showed stubbornly high inflation of 3.6 per cent – well above the 2 per cent target – continues to gnaw at living standards. Food price inflation has increased to 4.9 per cent – blamed by the industry on higher costs imposed by the government. And a poll by the British Retail Consortium (BRC) today (THURS) reveals that weeks of ‘tumultuous’ speculation ahead of the Budget has further crushed consumer sentiment. The pressure is also telling on the housing market, as separate figures showed falling prices and buyers becoming hesitant amid uncertainty over the Chancellor’s tax plans. It came as more business leaders added to the growing chorus of dismay over Labour’s dismal handling of the economy. Lord Stuart Rose, the former boss of Marks & Spencer and Asda, said: ‘If you talk to people in business and you talk to people in the street they’re fearful, they’re demotivated, they’re anxious and they’re certainly very anxious now about what’s going to happen next week.’ Fears are growing that Ms Reeves will implement a series of tax hikes at the Budget, adding to the damage done by the £25 billion raid on employer national insurance (NI) announced last year. Taxes are likely to go up because the Chancellor faces an estimated £30 billion black hole in the public finances. But Lord Rose urged Labour to look at bringing spending under control too – as the cost of welfare, pensions, the civil service and long-term sickness spiral. ‘We are now living above our means… it’s unsustainable,’ he told the BBC, accusing the government of failing to get to grips with long-term issues. ‘It’s shambolic what we’ve got at the moment, we’re running an economy now where it’s run by opinion poll and it’s run by focus groups, it’s nonsense.’ Meanwhile, Paul Greenwood, a top UK executive at US oil giant ExxonMobil, accused the government of ‘deliberate’ policy choices that are ‘undermining’ the company. Mr Greenwood was speaking a day after the firm announced that it was closing a chemicals plant in Scotland, putting more than 400 jobs at risk. He blamed windfall taxes on North Sea oil and gas producers that are causing the industry to shrink as well as sky-high energy costs that are blighting UK industry more widely. ‘The government needs to understand that the whole industrial base in UK is at risk unless they wake up and see the damage that their economic policies are doing,’ Mr Greenwood told the BBC. Elsewhere, a survey of businesses by Santander UK showed they were under increasing strain from rising labour costs, tax and energy. The bank’s chief economist Frances Haque said the findings painted ‘a stark picture of a challenging business landscape’. Figures from the BRC show consumer confidence at its lowest level since ‘awful April’, a period when bills and taxes previously went up. ‘It has been a tumultuous month of Budget speculation and consumer confidence took a tumble,’ BRC chief executive Helen Dickinson said. Yesterday, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said that inflation fell to 3.6 per cent in October, down from 3.8 per cent in September. It remains the highest among all of the G7 group of advanced economies. Julian Jessop, economics fellow at the Institute of Economic Affairs, a free-market think-tank, said that the gap between inflation in the UK and Europe remained ‘worryingly large’ with Britain now ‘clearly an outlier’. Ms Reeves said she recognised that inflation was ‘still a big burden on families right across the country’ and was planning to take ‘targeted action’ tackle the cost of living. Separate ONS figures showed UK annual house price growth slowed from 3.1 per cent in August to 2.6 per cent in September. Prices fell over the course of the month by 0.6 per cent. In London, prices fell by 1.8 per cent compared with a year earlier and 1.1 per cent on the month. Meanwhile, a survey from property website Rightmove showed 17 per cent of potential movers have paused their plans due to uncertainty over property taxes in the Budget.

Van dwellers to be cleared off downs – toilet problems – story. Ben Richie, from BHAM, on homelessness in Bristol and how to deal with the van dweller problem. Judge Napier, court case for van dwellers, nobody turned up. Empty properties and investment properties. One of the UK’s biggest van-dwelling camps to be cleared from fringes of beauty spot City bosses have vowed to evict a van-dwelling community from a Bristol beauty spot after parts of the popular parkland were “used as a toilet”. In a joint statement, Green Party councillors Barry Parsons and Stephen Williams [of Grenfell Tower infamy] said the discovery of sites filled with human waste on the historic Durdham Down, known locally as the Downs, was “completely unacceptable”. The enforcement action comes after complaints from residents in the surrounding wealthy suburbs of Redland and Stoke Bishop over the increasing number of lived-in vans and caravansin the park. At a last count in August, The Independent found there to be more than 100 vehicles on the parkland, making it one of the biggest van-dweller communities in the UK. When approached, some said they had been forced to due to a housing crisisin Bristol, where private rents rose 23 per cent from 2020 to 2023. “We are currently working on an enforcement plan to begin to move the group of lived in vehicles from the Downs,” the councillors said. “We appreciate that moving such a large group is not going to be an easy task, and will require a lot of coordination, but we cannot allow a public health risk to continue.” The councillors, which said the open-air toilet use presented a “significant public issue”, said outreach workers would help residents of the vans and caravans find a “route away from vehicle dwelling”. The work to remove the vehicles, they said, would not be an “easy task” and will require “a lot of coordination”. They added: “Most vehicle dwellers will not be engaging in this sort of behaviour, but now that this issue has been identified and confirmed, we have to take action to put an end to this behaviour and make sure the Downs remains open to everyone.” Bristol has seen the number of lived-in vehicles across the city rise 300 per cent in six years to a peak of 680. Most are situated on roadsides, private land and council-owned sites with toilets and running water. With tensions flaring within local neighbourhoods over their presence, the council is working on a new policy on how to tackle concerns. Across the UK, at the last census in 2021, some 104,000 households lived in a caravan or mobile home, 19,000 more than a decade before. When The Independent visited the vehicle-dwelling community on the Downs in August, campaigners against it said they had evidence of threatening behaviour and antisocial behaviour, including bushes being used as open-air toilets. They even threatened legal action against the city council for failing to remove the vehicles. However, some van-dwellers told The Independent it was unfair to tar everyone with the same brush. On Wednesday, van-dweller Tim, who does not want to give his surname, said: “And where will everyone go now? It’s not dealing with the problem, it’s moving it on somewhere else.” As part of its newly-created policy, Bristol City Council said it aimed to increase the number of pitches for van-dwellers at council-owned sites from 67 to 250 by the end of March next year.

Is 15th century John Cabot financing merchants’ N America genocide and slaving club behind The Downs traveller evictions? Merchant Venturers own the Downs. Protect the Downs group appear to represent these slave-trading land owners. High rent. We are the ones to protect the Downs say Merchant Venturers The Society of Merchant Venturers have defended the status quo, pointing out that most of it is their land, and is only open to the public because of the 1861 Act. The Society of Merchant Venturers have defended the 163-year-old law which means they ‘manage and protect’ Bristol’s famous Downs area, after a city councillor called for the law to be repealed. Article continues below The Merchant Venturers said they are the landowners of most of the Downs, and it has been through the the 1861 which cemented the arrangements for managing the land that it has been preserved and protected. The area known as ‘the Downs’ is actually two different parcels of land, separated by an ancient and largely invisible redundant parish boundary. Durdham Down is the smaller area which is basically everything north of the water tower, and this area is owned by Bristol City Council. Clifton Down is everything else, from the Suspension Bridge and the Observatory, all the way past Bridge Valley Road and up to the Sea Walls – this area has been owned for more than 250 years by the Society of Merchant Venturers. In 1861, an Act of Parliament laid down the arrangements for managing this land, and enshrining it as a green open space that could never be developed or sold for development. It created the Downs Committee, which is made up of six city councillors and six members of the Society of Merchant Venturers, and chaired by the Lord Mayor. That arrangement has been in place for 163 years, and it means that the city council has a say over what happens to the SMV-owned Clifton Down, while the Merchant Venturers have a say over what happens on the council-owned Durdham Down. The Society of Merchant Venturers have defended the status quo, pointing out that most of it is their land, and is only open to the public because of the 1861 Act. “The Clifton and Durdham Downs is public land only in the sense that its owners, the Society of Merchant Venturers (SMV) and Bristol City Council, proactively initiated a binding agreement in 1861 to protect the green open space through an Act of Parliament so that it could never be developed or sold privately for development,” a spokesperson said. “Furthermore, the Downs Committee was created by the Downs Act to ensure that the two landowners would work together as guardians of the Downs, to manage and protect the land so that it could be used for recreation by the people of Bristol forever,” she added.

Irish gypsy traveller, Jimmy Donovan, on how Council won’t listen to their needs on a Council traveller site up at Avonmouth, and then evicted everyone from the site. James Donovan was evicted in June, along with 30 other residents, from Bristol City Council’s only transit site St Anthony’s Park in Avonmouth. When James started to go back to St Anthony’s Park from his nearby encampment to get pails of water the council came and turned off the mans water. This week the council employed workers from Doncaster with a digger to replace the old water valve for the site with an electronic one which can turn the water off remotely. Jimmy was paying £150 a month to stay on the site and his daughters have children in the local Avonmouth schools yet his daughter, Donna, has been housed many miles away by Bristol CIty Council so she has to drive long distances backward and forward every weekday so her children education isn’t interrupted by Bristol Cty Councils eviction. Jimmy tells us how ‘bad people’ had been turning up at St Anthony’s Park to dump rubbish there but the council landlords refused to do anything about the dumping and once it got really bad the eviction took place. Gypsies did not go to court to defend agaisnt the psession order because they were afraid of the court process and felt either they would not be able to make their case or would be hit with costs which they could not afford to pay. “We just want somewhere to live in peace” “We get moved on wherever we go” “We fought for our country and we have a right to live in it” (Gypsies and Travellers speaking). For many Gypsies and Travellers a key area of cultural difference from the settled population is where they live. However public policy has significantly failed to meet their accommodation needs. Twice-yearly government counts show consistently that a quarter of Gypsies and Travellers in caravans are on unauthorised sites, because they have nowhere else to stop. This means that they are legally homeless under the Housing Act 1996. Between 1970 and 1994 under the Caravan Sites Act 1968 local authorities had a duty to provide sites for people “of nomadic habit of life, regardless of their race or origin”, “residing in or resorting to” their areas. Many did not provide sufficient sites, or put them in unsuitable locations far from local facilities, by motorways, rubbish tips or industrial activities. In 1994 the government repealed this duty and withdrew grant aid for sites. With fewer sites Gypsies and Travellers were forced onto increasingly problematic stopping places or into conventional housing unsuited to their cultural needs. Government research has calculated that up to 4,500 additional pitches are needed (Niner 2002).

Recording of a member of staff from Clarion housing association and a fire officer – she tells him to pretend he’s put notice up so she can tick her box. ‘Don’t tell anyone’: Manager at UK’s largest housing association told staff how to fake fire safety notice A chartered surveyor tells Sky News the consequence of the information not being available in the event of a fire could be “death or serious injury”. “No one can listen to our calls?” a manager from Clarion, the UK’s largest housing association, asks one of her team on a recording that has been leaked to Sky News. “Don’t tell anyone I told you this,” she goes on – before instructing him how to pretend he’s put up an important fire safety notice in one of their buildings. “Just put it up on a plain bit of wall … take a picture,” she says, telling him that she’ll “come and find” him if it turns out she can’t trust him. She brags about her management style. “I’m trying to help you hit your targets,” she says – adding: “My team is always on point, we always meet our targets.” The recording will add to fears of residents of social housing that their safety is not taken seriously by landlords. The conversation took place in 2022. It was reported to Clarion’s HR team in September 2023. However, an investigation only began in September 2024 when the recording was sent to Clarion management. The manager involved was only sacked this summer – almost two years after it was first raised with Clarion. What has Clarion said? A Clarion spokesperson told Sky News: “In 2023, our HR team received an email from a former employee raising concerns, but no supporting evidence was provided despite our request. When an audio recording was shared with us in September 2024, we immediately launched a full investigation, which led to the dismissal of a staff member. “It is deeply regrettable that information was not shared sooner, as this would have enabled earlier action. Building safety remains our top priority across all Clarion homes.”

Alex Krainer, author and former hedge fund manager, on modern economies of capitalism being fraudulent with predictable bubbles forming. The Current Monetary System is a Predatory Ponzi Scheme The current Western monetary system has been put together by the world’s most powerful bankers. The system doesn’t have to be the way it is. “The monetary system is the way it is because those who run it choose to have it remain that way.”, says former hedge fund manager and economic analyst Alex Krainer. The monetary system, which is run by banker oligarchs and the banking system, achieves its ends via the use of physical (military), economic and psychological violence. “How so?”, you might me wondering. The system is set up in such a way that it requires constant growth in order to stay alive. In this sense the existing system is like a bicycle. If the accumulation stops, if the forward motion (growth) stops, the bicycle tips over and the rider falls off. When a banker gives you a loan, say 100,000 dollars for a mortgage, you have to pay it back with interest. Generally speaking, over time, you’re going to end up paying it back twice, to the tune of about 200,000 dollars. The problem is, only the principle, only 100,000 dollars enters circulation. The additional 100,000 that’s required to pay off your loan has to be earned and thus extracted from an overall pool of money that doesn’t include anything other than principal allocations. This creates a situation where growth is not only advantageous for bankers, it’s also essential in order to keep the overall system afloat. In other words, the monetary system is a huge predatory money lending scheme that financially entraps its prey in debt cycles. While all of this is happening the banking system continually accumulates untaxed, “untouchable” off-shore financial holdings that total out at upwards of 50 TRILLION dollars and counting.(1a) All Modern Wars are Bankers Wars for Profit and Conquest Following logically from all that has been said so far, the only way continual growth can be maintained is by moving outside of given markets once they are saturated. In other words, if growth is essential for the current system’s survival and growth is no longer possible within a given region then the profit makers must find new markets, new regions, new resources and new targets of exploitation or the system will collapse. In the US, Europe and in Canada, we’ve seen more and more cities slipping into drug addiction, suicide and deeper into poverty. This is because the banks have been pushing the donor owned political class to create more and more growth and therefore profit (for bankers) abroad. All of this has transpired at the expense of the aforementioned countries’ general populations. This growth fetish is the true underlying cause of the perpetual bipartisan push for more and more wars in the Middle East, Eastern Europe and wherever else imperialist expansion and looting are possible.

Economy Rewind – how debt and interest started with the Bank of England. Ukraine – corrupt officials. AI bubble – crash? They Designed a System You Can Never Escape This video synthesizes 331 years of documented financial history to show how the current $315 trillion global debt system was deliberately engineered to be permanent and inescapable. By Economy Rewind Every country on earth is in debt. The US owes $38 trillion. The planet owes $315 trillion. But if everyone owes money, who is owed? The answer will change how you see the entire financial system. This video reveals the documented history of how four bankers across three centuries engineered a system where debt can never be repaid. You’ll discover: – How William Paterson’s 1694 Bank of England charter made government debt permanent for the first time in history – Why Nathan Rothschild’s bond market innovations made sovereign default mathematically impossible – How the secret 1910 Jekyll Island meeting created the Federal Reserve to enable infinite government borrowing – Why Paul Volcker’s 1982 IMF restructuring trapped developing nations in eternal debt – The exact mechanism that transfers $1 trillion annually from taxpayers to bondholders – Why the $38 trillion US debt can never be paid off without collapsing the money supply – Who actually profits from the system and how they engineered it to be inescapable This isn’t conspiracy theory. Every meeting, contract, and mechanism is documented public record. Understanding this pattern explains why government debt only grows, never shrinks, and why that’s by design, not accident.

Nathan Gill from Reform jailed for taking bribes from Russia. But is this Farage’s party ‘punishment beating’ for saying ‘West provoked Russia to invade Ukraine’ in last year’s general election? AND Nobody jailed for taking bribes from the Israelis. Former Reform leader in Wales is jailed for 10 years for accepting pro-Russia bribes back in 2014 Russia is seeking to bribe Britain’s MPs to undermine our democracy, paranoid police warned today as the former head of the Reform UK party in Wales was jailed for taking cash to back Putin’s allies. Nathan Gill was jailed for over ten years today after accepting tens of thousands of pounds in bribes to give speeches, interviews and arrange events supporting Russian activity in Ukraine. The former leader of the Reform UK party in Wales was told to ‘recruit’ other British MPs and Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) to attend pro-Russia events, including ‘a leading figure in the Brexit Party’, which was headed by Nigel Farage at the time. The 52-year-old was promised he would be ‘rewarded’ with a ‘sack of paper gifts’ thought to contain money, if he would bring his ‘friends’ in the Brexit Party, which is now known as Reform UK. Now it can be revealed that four other pro-Brexit MEPs are under investigation in connection with the scandal. Scotland Yard confirmed yesterday that Mr Farage is not one of the politicians being investigated and there is no suggestion of any wrongdoing by the Reform leader. As Gill was sentenced today, Head of Scotland Yard’s Counter Terrorism Command Dominic Murphy warned that Moscow’s attempts to influence British politics are ‘widespread’. He suggested Russia is seeking to bribe and influence MPs to subvert our democracy saying: ‘This is the first type of case we’ve seen like this but what we’ve seen in this case does raise questions. ‘I think we’re beginning to see a course of conduct in those states that wish to do us harm, about their influence over society, politicians and politics more broadly.’ In an unprecedented prosecution, Gill pocketed around £5,000 a time to read out parliamentary speeches urging Ukraine to negotiate with Moscow and seek peace after Russia invaded Crimea and sent paramilitary units into the Donbas region. He delivered scripted media statements criticising Ukraine leader President Zelensky and supporting Ukrainian politician, Viktor Medvedchuk, a personal friend of President Putin. Medvedchuk, who was later accused of treason in Ukraine and attempting to loot national resources, is considered so close to Putin that the Russian leader is the godfather of Medvedchuk’s daughter. Gill was paid thousands to give TV interviews in favour of the key Putin ally and to make speeches in the European Parliament, where he was an MEP for the UK Independence Party (UKIP) from 2014 to 2020. The father-of-five was the leader of UKIP in Wales from 2014 to 2016 before it became Reform UK Wales in 2021.

Len Deighton, novelist, on how his Dad was in service and proud of it. Spy thriller writer – Len Deighton – Interview – Thames TV – 1983 Respected Author, Journalist and historian, Len Deighton is interviews by Afternoon Plus’ Trevor Hyett. First shown: 16th November 1983 The Len Deighton Dossier: Spies, Secrets & Criminal Minds Len Deighton’s novels were so authoritative the KGB used to go through them with diligence, even checking on STUCEN (real name Gruinard Island) where WWII anthrax experiments were carried out in his novel Spy Story. When Len Deighton’s first novel The Ipcress File was gearing up for film production in the 1960s, the author and lead actor Michael Caine tried to persuade producer Harry Saltzman to let Caine wear thick glasses on screen. Deighton and Caine both wore heavyset specs. The book’s hero Harry Palmer wore them too, but Saltzman wasn’t budging. “No, no, no. What film star have you ever seen wearing glasses?” Saltzman asked over supper one evening. Luckily, Harry’s wife Jacqueline was hosting the meal at their London home and interrupted: “Cary, darling. Cary Grant looks lovely in glasses.” “Michael looked down at his plate,” Deighton recalled. “We had won.” Len Deighton: Secrets of a Spy Writer’s Life It was a win not just for Deighton and Caine but for the working class. The Ipcress File was a game changer. For the first time in British film history, the espionage genre was no longer the preserve of the elite. A new style of agent was born – an imperfect one with tortoise-shell glasses, a Cockney London accent, and a flippant attitude. Harry Palmer saw the world through the eyes of a man battling his duplicitous (and often incompetent) superiors… Deighton’s father was a chauffeur and a mechanic, and Deighton decided to make use of his own fascination with technology during his national service in Britain’s Royal Air Force (RAF). He specialized in photography using a Leica camera to take photos in an RAF hospital operating theater. “After that an assignment, [I was off] to the Fighter School where I spent many happy hours flying in Mosquito fighters operating cine cameras during mock combat,” he recalled. Deighton later studied at London’s Royal College of Art and tried his hand at advertising and designing book jackets including the UK edition of American author Jack Kerouac’s On the Road, a defining work of the postwar Beat and Counterculture generations: “London was warming up for the Swinging Sixties and I relished every minute of every day.” Deighton bounced around between jobs. His roles included a stint as an airline steward for British Overseas Airways Corporation but he resigned (the rumors say it had something to do with gold smuggling and Hong Kong) and worked as a food correspondent for The Observer newspaper. He wrote and illustrated ‘cookstrips’ – black and white graphic recipes – later published as his 1965 Action Cook Book for bachelors, the first of his five cookery books. While working as a travel editor for Playboy magazine, he’d stay at Hugh Hefner’s Playboy Mansion in Chicago and jet around the world: “The grandest trip was to Hawaii where I had a helicopter to use like an air taxi hopping from place to place.”

Steve Hall on UK economy and Mark Fisher, author of ‘Capitalist Realism’ – capitalism is inevitable which links his ideas to accelerationism. The left is dead. Its ailments cannot be cured. The only way to resurrect what was once valuable in leftist politics is to declare the left dead and begin from the beginning again. Winlow and Hall identify the root causes of its maladies, describe how new cultural obsessions displaced core unifying principles and explore the yawning chasm that now separates the left from the working class. Drawing upon a wealth of historical evidence to structure their story of entryism, corruption, fragmentation and decline, they close the book by outlining how a new reincarnation of the left can win in the 21st century. In the media ‘Time for the Left to start again’ for Book Launch ‘The LoveReading Books of the Year 2022’ in Love Reading ‘When it comes to the next election, we deserve better than the least-worst option’ on Transforming Society “Consistently brave, willing to broach a break with the old. The gusto with which the authors disparage contemporary agents of degeneration is to be savoured. Their “fundamental truth-telling” is in service of ridding us of a contemporary left that is ultimately conservative, and so is part of an essential project to build a force that can be true to the left’s original ambitions: that of creating a world more fit for humans.” Alex Hochuli, political analyst and writer; host, Bungacast; co-author, The End of the End of History. “A well-argued and deeply persuasive analysis illustrating how and why the British Left went so wrong. It should be on the reading list of everyone rooted in the labour movement or otherwise passionate about advancing the interests of working-class people.” Paul Embery, author of Despised: Why the Modern Left Loathes the Working Class “This is probably the most important book to emerge in the humanities and social sciences in the last two decades.” Tara Brabazon, Flinders University “The most enlightening exploration yet of why the left died and how – or whether at all – it can be resuscitated” Thomas Fazi, journalist and economist “Winlow and Hall tackle head-on the central political and social question of our time. Forthright and stimulating, this book is a must-read for all those interested in what comes next.” Philip Cunliffe, Institute of Risk and Disaster Reduction, UCL “Combative, provocative and necessary, this book should be read by anyone interested in the plight of the working class.” Deirdre O’Neill, film-maker “Hard to put down. A long, difficult and sad tale that needs to be told.” Lisa Mckenzie, author of Getting By “A much-needed wake-up call for the so-called progressives and latte liberals that patrol the borders of academe.” Keith Hayward, University of Copenhagen “Too often, instead of instigating much-needed soul-searching, the left’s political failures are blamed on an electorate who failed to support them. This book is a much-needed corrective and elucidates the long path the left has had to tread to get to what might be its final resting place. At the same time, it is a hopeful and rousing call for humanity to retake the economic engine-room. Informative and clearly written, this book is a must-read for everyone across the political spectrum.” Ashley Frawley, Swansea University and author of Semiotics of Happiness “A provocative post-mortem of the Anglophone left’s ideological missteps that will spark fierce debate among activists, scholars and students.” Lee Jones, Queen Mary University of London Contents 1.

The Covid Inquiry – latest findings – Lady Justice Halett. David Halpin, former surgeon, on how Covid was deliberate for depopulation – and how toxic the jabs were. Wikispooks – Bildebergers involved in Covid fiasco. David Halpin on how to prepare for next pandemic. PETER HITCHENS: The real lasting lesson of the Great Covid Panic is that most of us don’t want to be free Mrs Hitchens remembers – as I had forgotten – that I was in almost complete despair over the Covid panic after about two weeks of national hysteria. As far as I could make out, I was the only national newspaper commentator in the country who had any doubts about the wisdom of closing Britain down and deliberately going bankrupt to pay for it. The scale and fury of the abuse was unlike anything else I had experienced. Anti-social media erupted in derision and spite. During that period, I was frequently accused of deliberately seeking to kill people, once of helping to bring about the death of a specific person. The doors of the BBC, once ajar, became almost completely closed to me. Then, thank heaven, I discovered, buried deep on page 64 of The Times newspaper, an article by former Supreme Court judge Lord Sumption, attacking the legal basis of Alexander ‘Boris’ Johnson’s mass house arrest. He concluded: ‘There is a difference between law and official instructions. It is the difference between a democracy and a police state. Liberty and the rule of law are surely worth something even in the face of a pandemic.’ As far as I could make out, I was the only national newspaper commentator in the country who had any doubts about the wisdom of closing Britain down and deliberately going bankrupt to pay for it, writes Peter Hitchens As far as I could make out, I was the only national newspaper commentator in the country who had any doubts about the wisdom of closing Britain down and deliberately going bankrupt to pay for it, writes Peter Hitchens I knew that Lady Hallett’s (pictured) ridiculous inquiry would report as it did, and I have many times predicted its weary conclusion… and so it will happen again soon in some form or other I knew that Lady Hallett’s (pictured) ridiculous inquiry would report as it did, and I have many times predicted its weary conclusion… and so it will happen again soon in some form or other And, as I knew that Sumption was (and is) a considerable mind and a first-class lawyer, I concluded that I was not in fact crazy, and the struggle against the Great Panic was not pointless. People who might readily dismiss me could not do the same to him. So I took various steps to rescue the article from the tomb in which The Times had hidden it, and suddenly I was not alone after all. And I kept it up afterwards for many months. I won’t try to fight this battle again. What I said is all on the record. What I learned during those stupid days was that huge numbers of people, a large majority, actually do not want to be free. They welcome being ordered about. And that if you seek power, the best way to get it is to spread fear, and then claim to be the people’s protector. I knew that Lady Hallett’s ridiculous inquiry would report as it did, and I have many times predicted its weary conclusion. And so it will happen again soon in some form or other. Except that the next time we will already be bankrupt, while countless numbers of people have already abandoned full-time education, or lost the work discipline that a major country needs to survive. So it will be worse, and we will end up even poorer than before.

EXCLUSIVE: 1799: the world’s first vaccine death? Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Romantic poet, named his son Berkeley after the Severn-side village where his friend Jenner lived, who was developing the first smallpox vaccine – the vaccine was tried on his son, who unfortunately died. Celebrated poet S. T. Coleridge subjected his new-born son, Berkeley, to Edward Jenner’s experimental smallpox vaccine. The disastrous result, death by cowpox-induced TB, led to a rift with, and separation from, his wife, Sara.  During the eleven months he was away from Nether Stowey, Sarah and the children grew ill as a result of a smallpox vaccine. Baby Berkeley’s immune system did not recover, and he died from consumption, a well-known cowpox complication, which he allegedly caught from the nanny. His decline was fairly quick, but it was painful. Sarah was devastated, and her grief was reflected physically: her thick brown hair, long considered her great beauty, began to fall out and was never the same—she had to cut it off and wear a wig for the rest of her life. Coleridge was also feeling depressed at this time, not because he knew of Berkeley’s passing, but because Sarah had ceased writing to him and he felt ignored. Poole felt that Coleridge should be kept apprised of only happy news so that his studies would proceed accordingly, and, at this time, Sarah naturally could think of nothing amusing to say. Eventually Sarah pressed upon Poole the importance of telling Coleridge about his son’s death; Poole’s letter was not entirely clear, so Sarah had to write Coleridge herself, pouring out her suffering on the page and likely expecting a similar response. She did not get it; instead, Coleridge spoke of his son’s death in philosophical, detached terms. He also decided to extend his stay in Germany for five more months, a choice that reflects his lifelong tendency to “[run] away from situations or [hide] his true feelings, in direct proportion to the urgency of the duty or the depth of the feeling. Those he most loved were likely to be the worst treated” (Jones 81). This habit was in full force when Sarah wrote him in May of 1799 to request he come home to her and Coleridge decided instead to take a walking tour of the Harz Mountains and climb the Brocken (Hill 11; Lefebure 104-20; Jones 75-81; Vickers 76).

Part One – Local and National News Review

Rachel Reeve’s Budget – plans for changes to savings. Is it good for people to have savings? Savers set to face ‘double whammy’ if Reeves raises income tax and cuts cash ISA The Chancellor is considering cutting the allowance on cash ISAs to encourage investing Savers are set to be hit by a “double whammy” in the upcoming autumn Budget if income tax is hiked and the cash ISA allowance is slashed as predicted, experts have warned. Chancellor Rachel Reeves is considering cutting savers’ annual cash ISA allowance from £20,000, with reports suggesting this could go down to £10,000 or £12,000. And at the same time, she is reportedly planning to increase income tax by either 1p or 2p, potentially across all tax bands. Savers pay their usual rate of income tax on savings interest over a certain threshold not held in ISAs. The combination of the two policies may mean savers can shield less of their money from tax, and pay a higher rate of tax on the interest earned from that money. Some of the highest earners – those making more than £125,000 a year – could end up paying more than £3,377 in tax on their savings over five years if the allowance is cut to £10,000 and income tax hiked, according to The i Paper analysis. Those earning over £50,270 – higher rate taxpayers – could face tax bills of £1,988 over the same time period. Shaun Moore, tax and financial planning expert at Quilter, said: “The potential reduction in the ISA allowance combined with a rise in income tax rates could present a ‘double whammy’ for cash savers, particularly for higher earners.” Reeves is reportedly considering cutting the allowance on cash ISAs to persuade people to invest instead in a bid to boost the flagging economy, but experts warn that the policy will not have the desired impact. Moore said: “Reducing the ISA allowance would fail to address the core issue of a lack of investment and long-term financial resilience in the UK. “In fact, it would risk sending the wrong message entirely by penalising those who do save and invest, while doing little to support those who aren’t yet engaged.” The changes could come alongside other tax increases in the Budget, which may affect those trying to save. The Chancellor is said to be preparing to strip back tax cuts offered to staff and employers that pay money into workplace pensions as she looks to plug a hole in public finances. How much extra savers could pay? With a usual savings account, basic rate taxpayers pay 20 per cent tax on interest earned over £1,000 per year, while higher rate taxpayers pay 40 per cent on interest earned over £500, and additional rate taxpayers pay 45 per cent on all their interest.

BBC world service – Yannis Varoufakis – tech giants replacing capitalist system with their own one. Big banks – drug and arms money. Private equity firms very powerful. Yanis Varoufakis: ‘The technolords control our minds’ The former Greek finance minister warns of the dangers of what he calls cloud capital, the driving force behind technofeudalism During the pandemic, many ongoing trends accelerated without us fully noticing. Yet in Greece, former finance minister and prominent leftist Yanis Varoufakis (Athens, 1961) was paying close attention to how technology companies — the so-called Big Tech — were growing at breakneck speed. With millions of people locked down at home, working and shopping online, glued to screens and cloud computing, these companies became omnipresent and all-powerful. In the United States, between 2020 and 2022, there was a 52% increase in screen time in the under-18 age group. Armed with colossal amounts of personal data, giants like Facebook, Twitter, Google, Alibaba, or Amazon achieved what was once unthinkable: knowing their users better than the users know themselves. No longer content with just spotting behavioral patterns, they began to anticipate, exploit, and shape them — trapping millions in a relentless cycle of digital dependence: the circuit of cloud rent. Varoufakis concluded that something fundamental had changed: capitalism, as we had known it for more than two centuries, was dead. In its place arose technofeudalism, a new order controlled by technolords — a handful of ultra-wealthy players who extract rents from users and subordinate the old capitalists. His hypothesis remains controversial, even irritating to the Marxist left to which he belongs. But today, few doubt that Big Tech has accumulated unprecedented power. Sooner or later, citizens and governments will have to confront them to shape a different future. Those who fail to understand this soon will end up being ruled by algorithms, says Varoufakis, who answered questions from EL PAÍS by email. Question. We are witnessing an unprecedented accumulation of wealth. Media outlets report that Elon Musk could become the first trillionaire, while the global middle class stagnates. In the United States, real income is comparable to 1974; in China or Brazil, millions have escaped poverty, but without matching the increase in productivity or corporate profits. How did we get here, and what can we anticipate from this scenario? Answer. We arrived here through the natural process of capitalist accumulation, which organically produces crises that, in turn, provoke interventions by political agents representing capital. Their purpose is to shift wealth to those they represent through policies that liquidate public assets to artificially reinforce asset owners’ rates of return at the expense of the working and middle classes. The more this process continues, the greater the inequality and the deeper the anxiety of the beneficiaries — the ultra-rich — whether from fear that the many will revolt against them or that the fictitious capital they rely upon will implode. Q. The 2008 financial crisis marked a turning point. Shortly before, the iPhone and social networks inaugurated another stage: the prelude to technofeudalism. What are its basic characteristics? A. The 2008 crisis took down nearly every bank in the U.S. and Europe. To float the banks again, governments and central banks printed about $35 trillion, while at the same time practicing austerity by suppressing wages and social benefits, among other measures. The result was a coexistence of massive liquidity and low demand, leading to weak investment in goods and services. The only companies that invested some of the printed $35 trillion were those that, initially located in Silicon Valley, founded Big Tech on the back of a new form of capital I call cloud capital. That marked the beginning of technofeudalism.

Jimmy Dore show – John Kiriaku on how he got rid of his bad diabetes by having his stomach removed and small intestines made in to a new one.

Johnny Vedmore – Klaus Schwab and family role in nuclear weapons development for the Nazis. Schwab Family Values Is the real Klaus Schwab a kindly old uncle figure wishing to do good for humanity, or is he really the son of a Nazi collaborator who used slave labour and aided Nazi efforts to obtain the first atomic bomb? Johnny Vedmore investigates. by Johnny Vedmore On the morning of 11 September 2001, Klaus Schwab sat having breakfast in the Park East Synagogue in New York City with Rabbi Arthur Schneier, former Vice President for the World Jewish Congress and close associate of the Bronfman and Lauder families. Together, the two men watched one of the most impactful events of the next twenty years unfold as planes struck the World Trade Center buildings. Now, two decades on, Klaus Schwab again sits in a front row seat of yet another generation-defining moment in modern human history. Always seeming to have a front row seat when tragedy approaches, Schwab’s proximity to world-altering events likely owes to his being one of the most well-connected men on Earth. As the driving force behind the World Economic Forum, “the international organization for public-private cooperation,” Schwab has courted heads of state, leading business executives, and the elite of academic and scientific circles into the Davos fold for over 50 years. More recently, he has also courted the ire of many due to his more recent role as the frontman of the Great Reset, a sweeping effort to remake civilization globally for the express benefit of the elite of the World Economic Forum and their allies. Schwab, during the Forum’s annual meeting in January 2021, stressed that the building of trust would be integral to the success of the Great Reset, signalling a subsequent expansion of the initiative’s already massive public relations campaign. Though Schwab called for the building of trust through unspecified “progress,” trust is normally facilitated through transparency. Perhaps that is why so many have declined to trust Mr. Schwab and his motives, as so little is known about the man’s history and background prior to his founding of the World Economic Forum in the early 1970s. Like many prominent frontmen for elite-sponsored agendas, the online record of Schwab has been well-sanitized, making it difficult to come across information on his early history as well as information on his family. Yet, having been born in Ravensburg, Germany in 1938, many have speculated in recent months that Schwab’s family may have had some tie to Axis war efforts, ties that, if exposed, could threaten the reputation of the World Economic Forum and bring unwanted scrutiny to its professed missions and motives. In this Unlimited Hangout investigation, the past that Klaus Schwab has worked to hide is explored in detail, revealing the involvement of the Schwab family, not only in the Nazi quest for an atomic bomb, but apartheid South Africa’s illegal nuclear programme. Especially revealing is the history of Klaus’ father, Eugen Schwab, who led the Nazi-supported German branch of a Swiss engineering firm into the war as a prominent military contractor. That company, Escher-Wyss, would use slave labor to produce machinery critical to the Nazi war effort as well as the Nazi’s effort to produce heavy water for its nuclear program. Years later, at the same company, a young Klaus Schwab served on the board of directors when the decision was made to furnish the racist apartheid regime of South Africa with the necessary equipment to further its quest to become a nuclear power. With the World Economic Forum now a prominent advocate for nuclear non-proliferation and “clean” nuclear energy, Klaus Schwab’s past makes him a poor spokesperson for his professed agenda for the present and the future. Yet, digging even deeper into his activities, it becomes clear that Schwab’s real role has long been to “shape global, regional and industry agendas” of the present in order to ensure the continuity of larger, much older agendas that came into disrepute after World War II, not just nuclear technology, but also eugenics-influenced population control policies. A Swabian Story On 10 July 1870, Klaus Schwab’s grandfather Jakob Wilhelm Gottfried Schwab, referred to later as simply Gottfried, was born in a Germany at war with its French neighbours. Karlsruhe, the town where Gottfried Schwab was born, was located in the Grand Duchy of Baden, ruled in 1870 by the 43 year old Grand Duke of Baden, Frederick I. The following year, the aforementioned Duke would be present at the proclamation of the German Empire which took place in the Hall of Mirrors at the Palace of Versailles. He was the only son-in-law of the incumbent Emperor Wilhelm I and, as Frederick I, was one of the reigning sovereigns of Germany. By the time Gottfried Schwab turned 18 years old, Germany would see Wilhelm II take the throne upon the death of his father, Frederick III.

Dr. John Campbell on Ivermectin – Dr. Pierre Kory book. Cardinal Vigiano – Reiner Fulmich in prison since Covid. IVERMECTIN AND CANCER – Dr. John Campbell Mechanisms of Action [or how it works]: Ivermectin [IVM] induces different programmed cell death patterns in different tumour cells, the main form of IVM induced programmed cell death is apoptosis [which basically means programmed cell death]. Apoptosis is the normal process of cell death in the body – IVM stimulated this process in cancer cells. Also, inducing autophagy [which is where the cell eats itself]. Dr. Campbell introduces Dr. Ruddy – an eminent surgeon in the USA who has witnessed firsthand the benefits of Ivermectin in cancer patients. She gives an example of a patient diagnosed with Stage 4 Prostate cancer, who’d been through traditional treatments for over 9 months and given no future. His cancer has metastasized his bones wherein she suggested Ivermectin, stating it wouldn’t hurt you, but it might help. The story that follows will amaze you – how Ivermectin reversed his prostate cancer and overcome the bone cancer secondary. Dr. John Campbell – comments that “Ivermectin is a remarkably safe drug. And if you are very ill anyway, it’s difficult to think of a reason not to take it”. If you listen closely, he states that Ivermectin is safer than Ibuprofen or Paracetamol. He then goes on to speak briefly about the different forms of cancer that Ivermectin can assist with. Forms of Cancer: Breast Cancer: A malignant tumor produced by gene mutation in breast epithelial cells. Digestive system cancer: Gastric [stomach] cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide. Hepatocellular [liver] carcinoma is the fourth leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Urinary system cancer: Renal [kidney] cell carcinoma is a fatal malignant tumor of the urinary system derived from renal tubular epithelial cells. Prostate cancer is a malignant tumor derived from prostate epithelial cells. Hematological cancer: Leukemia [blood] cancer is a type of malignant clonal disease caused by abnormal hematopoietic stem cells. Ivermectin & Cancer – Dr. John Campbell Prepared on: 28 October 2024 Reproductive system cancer: Cervical cancer is one of the most common gynecological malignancies. Ovarian cancer is a malignant cancer that lacks early clinical symptoms and has a poor therapeutic response. Brain glioma: Glioma is the most common cerebral tumor. Glioblastoma, median survival time of 14-17 months. Respiratory system cancer: Nasopharyngeal [nose and throat] carcinoma is a malignant tumor derived from epithelial cells of the nasopharyngeal mucosa. Lung cancer has the highest morbidity and mortality among cancers. Melanoma: The most common malignant skin tumor with a high mortality rate.

Accelerationism – Ian Davies article on Whitney Webb. City-States Without Limits – Part 1 A powerful group of Silicon Valley oligarchs are using the Trump administration to push for the construction of privatized city-states in the US. Their interests are aligned with a global network of oligarchs who want to move away from the global governance of nation-states to the global governance of an international network of city-states. The intention is for the city-states to form a “patchwork” of realms overseen by a regional balance of power global governance system: the Multipolar World Order. New city-states—some being constructed from scratch and others being seeded into existing cities—go by many names. In the US, President Donald Trump has called them “Freedom Cities.” The United Nations refers to them as “human settlements,” the C40 Cities Network calls them “15 minute cities,” The Global Parliament of Mayors sometimes refers to them as “resilient cities,” and the Charter Cities Institute calls them, unsurprisingly, “charter cities.” But whatever they are called, they have a defined set of common characteristics. All of these emerging city-states are centrally planned and designed to maximise the use of technology. Some are already close to becoming completed “smart cities.” Many of these new city-states, as yet undeclared, have been given independent jurisdiction with varying degrees of autonomy from the nation-states in which they reside. Perhaps their most striking shared trait is their universal commitment to implement global governance policy initiatives. To this end, many nascent city-states have already joined city-based global governance networks. Their development is being driven by a public-private partnership investment strategy that is encouraged and supported at the global governance level. Some are currently being built in so called “Special Economic Zones” (SEZs). Other announced city-state developments, such as Freedom Cities in the US, bear all the hallmarks of SEZs. The global proliferation of Special Economic Zones, most notably those with “residential spaces,” is rapidly expanding the potential locations for yet more city-state projects. There are already thousands. Conspicuous philosophical and political theories, and the city-state landscape forming before our eyes, redefines our concept of global governance. The notion of phasing out the purported “sovereignty” of nation-states is now firmly embedded in the strategies to develop a new kind of intergovernmental structure. One in which the city predominates. The concept of a worldwide network of privatized, corporate city-state “kingdoms” has been embraced and is viewed as the best and most expedient method both for enslaving humanity to a centralised digital surveillance and behavioural control grid, and for establishing firm global governance. Gov-Corp Technates In a previous two-part investigation for Unlimited Hangout—The Dark MAGA Gov-Corp Technate Part 1 and Part 2—we explored the so-called philosophy of the Dark Enlightenment and the sociopolitical theory of Technocracy. We saw how these two concepts overlap and witnessed how they have captured the imaginations of a group of Silicon Valley oligarchs—Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Marc Andreessen, etc.,—who have effectively seized control of the Trump administration. It is recommended that you read those essays to get a perspective on some of the concepts we will expand on here. The Dark Enlightenment was a philosophical treatise first published by British political theorist and philosopher Nick Land in 2012. It incorporated the ideas espoused by US “thinker,” tech entrepreneur and blogger Curtis Yarvin. Publication of the Dark Enlightenment in the UK and Yarvin’s theories, published in the US, combined to lay the alleged intellectual foundations of what has become known as the Neoreactionary movement (NRx). In the Dark Enlightenment, Land acknowledged the influence of Peter Thiel on the growth of his own ideas. Specifically, Land referenced Thiel’s 2009 article “The Education of a Libertarian” as formative. Curtis Yarvin describes Thiel as “fully enlightened,” and is a close associate of Thiel’s. Thiel’s Founders Fund financed Yarvin’s tech startup ventures.

Accelerationist literature echoes hypnotic delusions of Margaret Thatcher, Victor Rothschild: ‘There Is No Alternative’. Nick Land – quick and dirty introduction to acceleration. NICK LAND, A QUICK-AND-DIRTY INTRODUCTION TO ACCELERATIONISM (Nick Land in Bolivia, circa 1997) Anyone trying to work out what they think about accelerationism better do so quickly. That’s the nature of the thing. It was already caught up with trends that seemed too fast to track when it began to become self-aware, decades ago. It has picked up a lot of speed since then. Accelerationism is old enough to have arrived in waves, which is to say insistently, or recurrently, and each time the challenge is more urgent. Among its predictions is the expectation that you’ll be too slow to deal with it coherently. Yet if you fumble the question it poses – because rushed – you lose, perhaps very badly. It’s hard. (For our purposes here “you” are standing in as a bearer of “the opinions of mankind”.) Time-pressure, by its very nature, is difficult to think about. Typically, while the opportunity for deliberation is not necessarily presumed, it is at least – with overwhelming likelihood – mistaken for an historical constant, rather than a variable. If there was ever time to think, we think, there still is and will always be. The definite probability that the allotment of time to decision-making is undergoing systematic compression remains a neglected consideration, even among those paying explicit and exceptional attention to the increasing rapidity of change. In philosophical terms, the deep problem of acceleration is transcendental. It describes an absolute horizon – and one that is closing in. Thinking takes time, and accelerationism suggests we’re running out of time to think that through, if we haven’t already. No contemporary dilemma is being entertained realistically until it is also acknowledged that the opportunity for doing so is fast collapsing. The suspicion has to arrive that if a public conversation about acceleration is beginning, it’s just in time to be too late. The profound institutional crisis that makes the topic ‘hot’ has at its core an implosion of social decision-making capability. Doing anything, at this point, would take too long. So instead, events increasingly just happen. They seem ever more out of control, even to a traumatic extent. Because the basic phenomenon appears to be a brake failure, accelerationism is picked up again. Accelerationism links the implosion of decision-space to the explosion of the world – that is, to modernity. It is important therefore to note that the conceptual opposition between implosion and explosion does nothing to impede their real (mechanical) coupling. Thermonuclear weapons provide the most vividly illuminating examples. An H-bomb employs an A-bomb as a trigger. A fission reaction sparks a fusion reaction. The fusion mass is crushed into ignition by a blast process. (Modernity is a blast.) This is already to be talking about cybernetics, which also returns insistently, in waves. It amplifies to howl, and then dissipates into the senseless babble of fashion, until the next blast-wave hits. For accelerationism the crucial lesson was this: A negative feedback circuit – such as a steam-engine ‘governor’ or a thermostat – functions to keep some state of a system in the same place. Its product, in the language formulated by French philosophical cyberneticists Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, is territorialization. Negative feedback stabilizes a process, by correcting drift, and thus inhibiting departure beyond a limited range. Dynamics are placed in the service of fixity – a higher-level stasis, or state. All equilibrium models of complex systems and processes are like this. To capture the contrary trend, characterized by self-reinforcing errancy, flight, or escape, D&G coin the inelegant but influential term deterritorialization. Deterritorialization is the only thing accelerationism has ever really talked about. … which is the revolutionary path? Is there one?—To withdraw from the world market, as Samir Amin advises Third World countries to do, in a curious revival of the fascist “economic solution”? Or might it be to go in the opposite direction? To go still further, that is, in the movement of the market, of decoding and deterritorialization? For perhaps the flows are not yet deterritorialized enough, not decoded enough, from the viewpoint of a theory and a practice of a highly schizophrenic character. Not to withdraw from the process, but to go further, to “accelerate the process,” as Nietzsche put it: in this matter, the truth is that we haven’t seen anything yet….

Electronic Intafada – Sean Middleborough, Palestine Action, absconded from prison. Exclusive: Absconded activist refuses to be “prisoner of war” Palestine Action activist Sean Middlebrough, 33, nicknamed Shibby, has absconded from a UK prison after being released on temporary bail for his brother’s wedding. In a statement exclusive to The Electronic Intifada, Middlebrough said he was not a terrorist and should never have been imprisoned in the first place. After a four-day conditional release on 23 October, Middlebrough did not return to Wandsworth prison in London. Despite regular police checks at his home address, he managed to slip away without his family’s knowledge, sources confirmed to The Electronic Intifada. Middlebrough, who is from Liverpool in northwest England, was on remand for a third time in connection with an August 2024 action at an Elbit weapons facility in Filton, a town near Bristol in southwest England. Elbit Systems is one of Israel’s largest arms manufacturers and its British subsidiary, Elbit Systems UK, operates 16 sites across the country. During the Filton action, protestors allegedly drove a van into the factory and damaged Israeli weapons developed there. Middlebrough is accused of causing over $2.5 million in damages. It resulted in, among other things, the destruction of armed quadcopters widely used by the Israeli military in its genocidal aggression in Gaza. Six people were arrested on the spot, detained for 36 hours without legal representation or being able to contact family or the outside world, and charged with criminal damage, aggravated burglary and violent disorder. Further arrests by British counterterrorism police over the following year saw a total of 24 people detained in connection with the Filton action, including Middlebrough. Middlebrough, whose trial date is set for April 2026 and who had already spent a year in pre-trial detention, was facing a total of over 18 months on remand, far exceeding the six-month pre-trial custody time limit. “I am not on the run. I am merely being sensible, refusing to be held as a prisoner of war of Israel in a British prison,” Middlebrough said in a statement obtained and verified by The Electronic Intifada. “Outrageously, 23 of my heroic and honorable co-defendants remain in prison following our kidnapping by counterterrorism police.”…

Cultural treasures – Michelangelo’s David, Picasso’s Guernica, Pink Floyd’s inflatable pig – are preserved in a building that is itself a refurbished heritage artifact. This is our only glimpse into the lives of the elite, holed up against the effects of a catastrophe which has caused mass sterility: no children have been born for a gener- ation. Theo asks the question, ‘how all this can matter if there will be no-one to see it?’ The alibi can no longer be future gener- ations, since there will be none. The response is nihilistic hedonism: ‘I try not to think about it’. What is unique about the dystopia in Children of Men is that it is specific to late capitalism. This isn’t the familiar totalitarian scenario routinely trotted out in cinematic dystopias (see, for example, James McTeigue’s 2005 Vfor Vendetta). In the P.D. James novel on which the film is based, democracy is suspended and the country is ruled over by a self-appointed Warden, but, wisely, the film downplays all this. For all that we know, the authoritarian measures that are everywhere in place could have been implemented within a political structure that remains, notionally, democratic. The War on Terror has prepared us for such a development: the normalization of crisis produces a situation in which the repealing of measures brought in to deal with an emergency becomes unimaginable (when will the war be over?)

Nick Georges on having film of GBH pro-Israeli who attacked and hospitalised him, but police are doing nothing. Concerns after pro-Palestine activists attacked across Surrey Police are investigating several assaults on demonstrators at pro-Palestine protests in Surrey last month, prompting concerns about rising tensions at local protests. Three elderly protesters were injured in two separate incidents, with one man requiring hospital treatment for head injuries. The events involved members of the West Surrey Palestine Solidarity Campaign (WSPSC), a local group that regularly holds peaceful protests and information stalls calling for humanitarian support for Palestinians. The group, which includes many older residents, has said it is committed to non-violent action and dialogue. One of the incidents took place on Wednesday, October 15, on New Wickham Lane in Egham, where 73-year-old Guildford resident Nick Georges was assaulted during a small demonstration. He suffered a fractured skull and other injuries and later underwent surgery. Surrey Police said officers were called at around 5.15pm following reports of an assault. A man has been arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm and common assault and released on police bail while enquiries continue. The protest, organised by a Woking-based activist named Chris, involved a small group from WSPSC. The group had attached banners to a bridge over the M25 and displayed several Palestinian flags when another group reportedly approached and a confrontation took place. Witnesses said one flag and its pole were taken and damaged, and that Mr Georges was attacked after intervening. He was treated at the scene by first-aiders and a passing medic before being taken to hospital. “I was unaware of being hit,” Mr Georges said. “I just remember lying on the road, dizzy and in severe pain. The experience left me physically and psychologically shaken.” In a separate incident on Saturday, October 18, two elderly WSPSC members said they were assaulted during a small demonstration in Farnham, near the junction of the A31 Farnham Bypass and Station Hill. A 69-year-old man and a 68-year-old woman reported being attacked by another individual. Video footage of the incident has been shared with police. Chris, who organised the Egham protest, said the event had been planned in advance and that participants were mostly older residents. “Our aim is to raise awareness of the humanitarian situation in Gaza,” he said. “It’s deeply upsetting that such an incident occurred at what was intended as a peaceful protest.” Mr Georges, who has previously undertaken humanitarian work in the West Bank, said the attack was distressing and had aggravated existing post-traumatic stress. Despite this, he remains committed to advocacy but said he would exercise more caution in future demonstrations. One of the two Farnham protesters, who asked not to be named, said: “An aggressive man approached us, shouting and threatening. He struck me and grabbed my wife’s phone before throwing it to the ground. We were shocked and frightened by what happened.” Police are continuing to investigate the Egham assault and are appealing for witnesses or anyone with CCTV footage from New Wickham Lane at the time to contact Surrey Police.

Sky News – Remembrance Sunday – still celebrate or not? Old guy from WW2. ‘My friends gave their lives for what, the country of today?’: 100-year-old WW2 veteran shocks GMB hosts as he declares winning the war ‘wasn’t worth it’ because of the nation’s sorry state – echoing major new poll on Starmer’s Britain A 100-year-old veteran shocked the hosts of Good Morning Britain today by declaring that winning World War II ‘wasn’t worth it’ due to the state of the UK. Alec Penstone told Adil Ray and Kate Garraway how he quit his factory job to sign up for the Royal Navy and fight for his country as soon as he came of age. The war hero recalled serving alongside close friends, many of whom lost their lives, and called himself ‘just a lucky one’ for having survived. Asked by Ms Garraway what Remembrance Sunday meant to him, the veteran said he felt that winning the war was ‘not worth’ how the country had turned out today. His concerns about the state of the nation are shared by an increasing number of Britons, with a new survey revealing national pride has plummeted and society is more divided than ever under Sir Keir Starmer. In findings which will send alarm bells ringing in Downing Street, eight in ten said they felt the nation was divided – up five percentage points from two years ago and ten points from 2020. Commenting on the survey results this morning, former Tory minister Michael Gove argued ‘mass immigration’ was partly to blame for the perception that Britain felt more divided. The poll found Reform voters were most worried about the cultural state of the nation, suggesting Nigel Farage’s party stand to make big gains in future elections. And half of the public said Britain’s ‘culture’ was changing too fast, up from a third. World War II veteran Alec Penstone said he felt that winning the war was ‘not worth’ how Britain had turned out today World War II veteran Alec Penstone said he felt that winning the war was ‘not worth’ how Britain had turned out today The war hero told Adil Ray and Kate Garraway how he quit his factory job to sign up for the Royal Navy and fight for his country as soon as he came of age The war hero told Adil Ray and Kate Garraway how he quit his factory job to sign up for the Royal Navy and fight for his country as soon as he came of age Mr Penstone left the Good Morning Britain hosts ‘mortified’ with his saddening admission about the state of the country. He told viewers: ‘My message is, I can see in my mind’s eye those rows and rows of white stones and all the hundreds of my friends who gave their lives, for what? The country of today? ‘No, I’m sorry – but the sacrifice wasn’t worth the result of what it is now.’ When he was asked to clarify what he meant by Mr Ray, he continued: ‘What we fought for was our freedom, but now it’s a darn sight worse than when I fought for it.’ The veteran did not specify the factors he believes are responsible for Britain’s decline. Consoling him, Ms Garraway chimed in: ‘Alec, I’m sorry you feel like that and I want you to know that all the generations that have come since, including me and my children, are so grateful for your bravery and all the other service personnel. ‘It’s our job now to make it the country that you fought for, and we will do.’ Reassured, Mr Penstone continued: ‘It’s so wonderful to know there are people like you who spread the word around to the younger generations.’ Baron Gove, the former Secretary of State for Education, suggested this morning that concerns about changes to Britain’s culture were linked to ‘mass immigration’. ‘I think you can’t separate the question of mass migration from the question of a common culture,’ he told BBC Radio 4’s Today Programme. ‘The rate at which a society changes demographically can be accepted, managed, tolerated, and indeed welcomed by the host population if there is a feeling that the culture they cherish is not being challenged or changed. ‘One of the problems with the current pace of migration is not just the numbers, which obviously put a pressure on public services, but it is also the sense that new arrivals are not being invited to share in a common culture. ‘That culture is either being wrenched out of shape or is fragmenting under pressure.’ The new survey about national pride was carried out by researchers at King’s College London and pollsters Ipsos, who have been tracking UK cultural trends annually since 2020. They branded their latest set of findings ‘frightening’ and said they laid bare an increasingly divided, polarised and downbeat society.

Gordon Main against wall road to military base. from the Newgale Stop DARC Radar demo in the summer. Gordon Main from the local protest group STUN (Stand Up For Newgale) explains very clearly why the proposed Newgale bypass road is not needed, is not cost effective and is only being pushed to facilitate the construction of the American Military Radar base at Brawdy.  ‘STUN’ in Newgale protests planned DARC US ‘Space Force’ base in Pembrokeshire National Park Residents link hands to protest plan for 20m structures at beauty spot Radar plans may allow Trump to dominate space from Wales – say campaigners There are major plans to build 27 radar dishes at Cawdor Barracks in Brawdy but residents are not happy A large number of locals came together to link hands on a Pembrokeshire beach in a protest against plans for “huge” structures overlooking the coastline. There are plans to build 27 radar dishes at Cawdor Barracks in Brawdy to monitor satellites and other objects in space, something which many residents object to. Residents attended the protest on Newgale Beach on Sunday, August 3, with the linked chain of people stretching from one side of the beach to the other. Newgale sits underneath a hill which the dishes, which would be as tall as four London buses, part of the Deep Space Advanced Radar Capability (DARC) project to track satellites, could be erected on. They will be 68ft (21m) high and 49ft (15m) wide and will be situated close to the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. Locals established the PARC Against DARC pressure group last year when the plans were announced, creating a petition and lobbying politicians. The petition has gathered over 17,000 signatures and opposes the plans on health and environmental grounds. It says that DARC would “drive a wrecking ball through our tourism industry.” Defence Secretary John Healey last year said the proposed redevelopment of Cawdor Barracks “secures jobs at home and defence capabilities for the future.” In 2023 the UK, US and Australian security pact signed in 2023, when the three states agreed to build a system which could identify potential “targets” up to 22,000 miles away from Earth where many military satellites are positioned. DARC is not directly part of the partnership but involves collaboration between Australia, the UK and US.

Far right working in Buckingham palace supporting Royalty. Patricia Opulenza poem. How did a neo-Nazi end up working inside Buckingham Palace? | ITV News The chief propagandist for a far-right network exposed by ITV News earlier this year is a former Buckingham Palace employee now helping to forge an Anglo-American alliance of white supremacists intent on bringing US Neo-Nazi tactics to Britain. Known only by the pseudonym “John” within extremist circles, ITV can now identify him as Matthew Gravill, a 26-year-old from Leicestershire, who travelled to Texas in September to meet a “who’s who” of senior figures in the American fascist movement. The excursion was part of the group’s effort to find ways to exploit social and political divisions in the UK and the US. Material reviewed by ITV News — including more than 100 hours of undercover recordings, thousands of encrypted messages, and conversations with officials and people who unwittingly encountered Gravill — reveals his double life: a Palace warden guiding visitors through royal state rooms, and a covert organiser within an international extremist movement. Neil Basu, the former head of UK counter-terrorism policing, has warned of a “disturbing” escalation in global white supremacist networks. His comments come in response to an ITV News investigation that revealed the identity of one of Britain’s leading fascists, Matthew Gravill, who also worked as a warden for Buckingham Palace. Gravill, from Leicestershire, was linked to two fascist groups: Active Club and Vanguard Britannica, neither of which has been proscribed by the UK government. ITV News confirmed that the 26-year-old travelled to Texas in September as a British “delegate” to the first “National Conference” of the American neo-fascist group, Patriot Front. A picture of the event, posted on social media, shows him standing alongside some of America’s most notorious white supremacist leaders.

Matt O’Branain joins Tony and Martin. Rise of AI. Evan Davies report – how AI is affecting learning in schools. –  Techno feudalism and Elon Musk – Yannis Varoufakis. “They’re not seeking a monopoly, they’re replacing the market altogether, with a fiefdom that they own”. Limits of AI. AI bubble – crash, WW3. The concept of “Technofeudalism” was introduced by economist and politician Yanis Varoufakis to critique the evolution of the modern capitalist economy under the influence of major technology corporations. It describes a system where tech giants like Google, Amazon, and Facebook amass enormous wealth and power, while treating their users like modern- day serfs, essentially establishing a new form of feudalism ( Varoufakis, 2024). In this system, a small number of companies control vast sectors of society, from economic power to information dissemination, creating a new social hierarchy. People, in turn, become increasingly dependent on these corporations for employment, goods, services, and information—similar to how serfs were dependent on lords in feudal society. Varoufakis’ “Technofeudalism” emphasises how these tech corporations have adopted quasi-feudal roles, influencing social structures and mechanisms of control. This idea has gained traction among scholars and critics exploring the intersection of big tech, capitalism, and social inequality. Elon Musk, often regarded as a “Technofeudal lord,” has steadily grown in influence on the global political stage. His involvement spans U.S. politics, a role at the Department of Government Efficiency, and his outspoken views on European political issues.

Psychotic (demon posessed?) Huntingdon knife attack suspect told victim ‘The Devil is not going to win’ as she begged for her life – Anthony Williams stabs people on train – psychotic, on medication or antidepressant drugs, groomed online? A project manager described on Sunday how the knifeman told her ‘The Devil is not going to win’ as she begged for her life. Dayna Arnold, 48, boarded the train with partner, site manager Andy Gray, 37, before the incident began minutes later. The couple were in Coach J when she was separated from Andy as people ran for their lives. She had fallen to the floor when the suspect stood over her with a 6in blade and she told him: ‘Please don’t.’ Dayna said: ‘I was running and when I looked back I saw the knifeman running after me. ‘I fell down and I just said, “Please don’t”. Something shifted in his face and he just carried on. He said: “The Devil is not going to win.”‘ She told The Mirror: ‘We just feel very lucky today. If we had been sat at the other end of the carriage, we’d might not be here.’ Andy – who was still wearing the blood-splattered jumper he was dressed in on the train – said he first saw the first bloodshed minutes after pulling out of Peterborough station. He said: ‘We were on the same carriage. Within about five minutes we just heard the panic and commotion in people’s voices. ‘I didn’t see him but I saw the knife moving, plunging. I pushed Dayna but we were separated. There was this young lad who was about 19 or 20. ‘He had gashes on his arm and a severe puncture under his arm. There was a lot of blood coming out of him. ‘He said, “I’ve been stabbed, please help me.” It looked like an artery had been hit. I took off my belt and made a tourniquet. He was saying, “Please call my dad, I don’t want to die”.’ Dayna and Andy fled the station and were given a complimentary room at a nearby pub. They returned to Huntingdon station on Sunday to travel down to Milton Keynes. Andy said: ‘I still have [the victim’s] blood on my jumper. I heard there were two people critical so I hope we saved his life.’ Cassie Marriott, of Huntingdon, was with her mother and sister when she saw shocked passengers outside the station after the bloody incident…

Daily Express – Reform must keep triple lock pension. Black guy on Tik Tok – white people being discriminated against in UK in name of positive discrimination. Pensioners warn Nigel Farage: Scrap the triple lock and Reform UK loses votes EXCLUSIVE: Pensioners have warned Nigel Farage to protect the triple lock, after his deputy leader said he couldn’t make any guarantees. Pensioners have warned Nigel Farage that he risks losing their votes if he dares to touch the pension triple lock, urging Reform to protect the policy. It comes after Richard Tice, the party’s deputy leader, said he could not guarantee to keep the triple lock, a policy which he describes as unsustainable. Vivienne Champ, 72, warned Reform that the party would alienate older voters if it backed away from the policy, saying: “Reform should protect the triple lock, because the cost of everything is soaring. If they don’t, they’ll lose votes.” Speaking to the Daily Express in Chatham, Kent, older voters said the triple lock was vital to keeping up with soaring prices, and warned that any move to scrap it would not only “hammer” poorer pensioners, but also cost Reform at the ballot box. Colin Delaney, 73, said that Farage “should protect” the policy, which sees the state pension increase by inflation, earnings growth or 2.5 per cent, whichever is highest, each year. Concerns over pensioners being unable to pay their bills were a major concern, with David Mitchell, 70, saying he and his wife Leslie, 67, were “both happy with the triple lock”. David Whiteman, 66, also warned that “all the bills are going up” as he said he “could not afford to retire”, saying that Reform had to protect the lock. But, despite his warning, Mr Whiteman added: “Let’s give Reform a go, they can’t do no worse than the other lot.” Mr and Mrs Dennis, aged 87 and 85, said scrapping the guarantee would “hammer people,” adding that losing it would be “annoying”. The couple expressed worry about the impact it would have on older people heading into winter. Mrs Browne, 82, said she “wanted a pay rise” and “couldn’t stand Reform,” adding: “I am against everything they stand for.” The triple lock ensures that the state pension rises each year by whichever is highest, earnings growth, inflation or 2.5 per cent. It currently benefits more than millions of retirees and costs the Treasury around £10billion a year. Helen Whately MP, Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary, said: “Introduced by the Conservative Government, the triple lock has lifted pensioners out of poverty and given dignity in retirement. “For all their talk, Reform has no plan for the economy, other than increasing welfare spending by lifting the two-child benefit cap. They promised tax cuts for the local councils they run but instead they’re putting taxes up. “Only the Conservatives have a plan to get welfare spending under control, reduce the deficit and cut taxes. Our priority is growing the economy and balancing the books.” Reform did not respond to requests for comment.

Dennis Potter on Channel 4 Opinion show in 1993 on Rupert Murdoch. Different media moguls. Dennis Potter: Murdoch’s Mass Media, Poison For The Collective Mind, Opinions C4 (1993) In this episode of ‘Opinions’ made for Channel 4, writer/playwright (and once Labour Candidate) Dennis Potter decries Rupert Murdoch’s hold on the press as a ‘downmarket slide’. The media and Rupert Murdoch In 1993, Potter was given a half-hour slot in prime time by Channel 4 in their Opinions strand produced by Open Media. Potter’s chosen topic was what he perceived to be a contamination of news media and its effect on declining standards in British television “particularly journalists who criticised his Channel 4 series Lipstick on Your Collar”, Kelvin MacKenzie “the sharp little oaf who edits the Sun” and Garry Bushell “that sub-literate homophobic, sniggering rictus of a lout”. His talk was published in The Guardian in abbreviated form as “Murdoch’s Desolate View of Human Life” Craig Brown described the programme in the (Rupert Murdoch owned) Sunday Times: “Potter announced at the beginning: ‘I’m going to get down there in the gutter where so many journalists crawl… what I’m about to do is to make a provenly vindictive and extremely powerful enemy… the enemy in question is that drivel-merchant, global huckster and so-to-speak media psychopath, Rupert Murdoch… Hannibal the Cannibal.’… As a performance, it had a lot going for it. I have never seen a talking head on television so immediate or so unabated in its anger. In many ways, it felt like being collared by a madman on the Tube. Filmed disturbingly close to camera, seemingly ad-libbing the entire half-hour, now mumbling, now rasping, Potter somehow managed to cut through the vacuum that on television usually separates viewer from viewee. This made the performance extraordinary.” Television was a booming industry as well as a burgeoning artistic form and its dissection in the daily press became well established. In retrospect, television criticism of this period seems all the more important for its function to commentate on a medium which seemed at the time to be ephemeral. Potter was thoroughly aware of the power of television, having taken up a traineeship at the BBC after university and writing and directing his own documentary, Between Two Rivers (1960). The programme focused on Potter’s experience of leaving his hometown, and his feelings upon his return from studying at Oxford. This foray into documentary seems to have convinced Potter that fiction was the way forward, and that programmes prying into people’s personal lives were highly suspicious. He was, however, fond of Denis Mitchell’s work, remarking that he was “by far the most talented and humane documentary maker television has yet produced”.

Israeli military lawyer Yifat leaks information on gang rape of Palestinian prisoner in Israel  Why has the Israeli army’s top lawyer resigned after leaking rape evidence? The Israeli military’s top lawyer, Major-General Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi, has resigned after admitting to leaking footage showing the gang rape of a prisoner at the Sde Teiman prison facility in August last year. The video of the rape had originally been leaked to the press in early August in the midst of a right-wing backlash following the arrest of a number of soldiers for the rape of a Palestinian prisoner. In her resignation statement on Friday, Tomer-Yerushalmi blamed pressure from the right-wing on her rape investigation for her decision to leak the footage, claiming that she was countering “false propaganda directed against the military law enforcement authorities”. In the leaked footage, soldiers can be seen grabbing and leading away a blindfolded Palestinian prisoner before surrounding him with riot shields to obscure the rape. “For 15 minutes, the accused kicked the detainee, stomped on him, stood on his body, hit him and pushed him all over his body, including with clubs, dragged his body along the ground, and used a taser gun on him, including on his head,” the original indictment stated. According to medical information obtained by the Israeli daily Haaretz, the victim suffered a ruptured bowel, severe anal and lung injuries, and broken ribs as a result of the assault. He later required surgery. What happened to the soldiers? At least nine soldiers were detained in connection with the man’s rape. All but five were released relatively quickly. In February, the remaining soldiers were indicted for “severely abusing” the detainee, but not raping him. The trial is ongoing. A United Nations commission, reviewing the change of indictment and other instances of Israel’s use of sexual and gender-based violence, determined that the decision to downgrade the indictments, despite the evidence, “will inevitably result in a more lenient punishment” if there is a conviction. Get instant alerts and updates based on your interests. Be the first to know when big stories happen. Why weren’t Israeli politicians calling for accountability? Because they determined that doing so was somehow unpatriotic. A number of Israel’s far-right politicians, including Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu, were among those who stormed the Sde Teiman prison in protest at the arrest of the soldiers for rape. Israel’s hard-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir appeared to address Tomer-Yerushalmi directly in July 2024, writing in Hebrew, “The Military Advocate General, take your hands off the reservists!” he said, referring to the soldiers accused of rape. Ben-Gvir’s fellow traveller on the far-right, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, was equally active on social media at the time, writing that the alleged rapists should be treated like “heroes, not villains”. Returning to social media during the furore following the rape, Smotrich chose to ignore the credible accusations of rape and instead called for “an immediate criminal investigation to locate the leakers of the trending video that was intended to harm the reservists and that caused tremendous damage to Israel in the world, and to exhaust the full severity of the law against them”.

Israel’s PRO-RAPE DEMOCRACY: Israeli lawmaker defends alleged rape of Hamas prisoner as far-right protesters rage over IDF troops’ detention Ultra-right-wing Israeli nationalists stormed two military facilities late Monday, protesting the detention and questioning of nine Israel Defense Forces reservists suspected of raping and abusing a Palestinian prisoner whose injuries were so bad he had to be hospitalized. Social media videos show guards at the Sde Teiman military base and prison, near Beersheba in southern Israel, shouting at and pushing military police who’d arrived to question the reservists, seemingly in defense of the suspects. The nine Israeli soldiers suspected of the abuse were to appear before a military court Tuesday. Israelis have been rattled by the events, which have highlighted the deep political divisions in the country. A member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party, speaking Monday at a meeting of lawmakers, justified the rape and abuse of Palestinian prisoners, shouting angrily at colleagues questioning the alleged behavior that anything was legitimate to do to “terrorists” in custody. Lawmaker Hanoch Milwidsky was asked as he defended the alleged abuse whether it was legitimate, “to insert a stick into a person’s rectum?” “Yes!” he shouted in reply to his fellow parliamentarian. “If he is a Nukhba [Hamas militant], everything is legitimate to do! Everything!” Israel’s far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, who’s drawn U.S. reprimands with his provocative actions since the war started, wrote in a post on social media: “Take your hands off the reservists.” Israeli Military Police investigate suspected abuse of Palestinian detainee near Beersheba Other senior Israeli officials, however, including Netanyahu and army commander Lieutenant-General Herzi Halevi, condemned the attack on the army base by the far-right protesters. “Breaking into a military base and disturbing the order there is severe behavior that is not acceptable in any way,” Halevi said in a statement, adding: “We are in the midst of a war and actions of this type endanger the security of the state.”

ITV report on van dweller/traveller bullying by Green council in Bristol. Cost of living crisis and rents. Council vows to use new powers to tackle Bristol van dwellers Hundreds of people living in vans and caravans in Bristol are set to face action, with the city council promising to use new powers against those who refuse to leave the streets. Consultation on what do about the divisive issue has just ended and the council is promising to tackle the problem of roadside living, with more than 600 vans and caravans now being used as homes across the city – a 300 per cent increase since 2019. It plans to have two additional sites offering temporary facilities in place by the end of the year with more to follow, but it’s not enforceable leaving many to suspect the roadside encampments are going nowhere. The latest figures released by Bristol City Council say there are about 640 to 680 vehicle dwellers currently living in the city. Over recent months, tensions have been high between residents living on the Downs in Bristol and van dwellers, with campaign group Protect the Downs saying they will take the council to court for what it claims is a failure to use existing powers to remove the vehicles. Becky Springett and her boyfriend have had enough of living in a van beside a central Bristol park and is selling up to travel abroad. She says her decision is based partly on the reaction their lifestyle receives. “We have had some (trouble). We got vandalised when someone filled our petrol tank with stones and washing up powder and I think that would have been by someone who didn’t want our van there. They can always come and speak to us politely.” The 28-year-old care worker says they have had little choice than live in the van for the last two years.”We don’t necessarily want to live in a van it’s just rent is so high, everything costs so much,” she says. “I’m a full-time worker and I can’t really afford rent so that’s why I’m living in a van, so they (critics) have to see it from our perspective, too.” The city council has so far committed £400,000 to trying to find a long-term fix through a widespread public consultation.Although encouraged to, the majority of van dwellers haven’t taken part. Some say they’re sceptical about the intentions of the exercise, fearing it is an exercise to provide grounds for enforcement. The council hope their meanwhile sites – providing temporary basic facilities for a relatively small fee – will drastically reduce roadside living.Two new sites will soon add to the existing five with an ambition to provide 250 pitches by next Spring. “These are places where they’ll be able to get access to services,” says the chair of the council’s Homes & Housing Committee, Cllr Barry Parsons. “They’ll be able to feel safe. we need to move on from the situation we’ve got to. This is something that affects communities across the country but it’s very visible here in Bristol and we’ve really pioneering a new approach here.” Council’s proposal The council proposed its new policy on what it describes as a “growing issue” last month and opened a consultation, which lasted six weeks. Residents in Bristol living in permanent or temporary accommodation were encouraged to give their views. In the policy proposal, the council said it aims to “significantly reduce the number of people living in vehicles on highways and council-owned land without consent in Bristol” by offering support and advice to help people move into fixed accommodation. The authority proposed that it would provide a three-month period of support to encourage people to sign up for alternative living arrangements either on a ‘meanwhile site’, supported housing, private rental or moving on from Bristol. What is a meanwhile site? Meanwhile sites are council pitches that provide access to basic services like clean water and toilets for a charge of £31.50 per week. There are currently five sites open to vehicle dwellers in Bristol but there is a waiting list, something the council says it wants.

Trying to bring history of thousands of years of travellers and gypsies stopping by roadsides to an end. “First They Came for the Travellers”: Priti Patel’s Chilling Attack on Britain’s Travelling Communities – “Until successive Conservative governments began working on it, trespass was a civil and trivial matter. Now it is treated as a crime so serious that on mere suspicion you can lose your home.” Monbiot added, “The government’s proposal, criminalising the use of any place without planning permission for Roma and Travellers to stop, would extinguish the travelling life.” “First they came for the travellers” alludes to the famous poem by the German pastor Martin Niemöller with reference to the Nazis, which begins, “First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out — Because I was not a socialist”, and continues with reference to trade unionists and Jews, and ending, “Then they came for me — and there was no one left to speak for me.” I hope you don’t think that allusion sounds like an exaggeration. This, after all, is a government that has made a point of demonising immigrants, not just under Priti Patel, but also, shockingly, under Theresa May, in her six dreadful years as home secretary, as I explained in an article in 2016, when she became Prime Minister, entitled, As Theresa May Becomes Prime Minister, A Look Back at Her Authoritarianism, Islamophobia and Harshness on Immigration — a sordid history that was then magnified when the true scale of May’s “hostile environment” became apparent via the Windrush scandal. And since the EU referendum, of course, the Tories — and their cheerleaders in the right-wing media — have not missed any opportunities to continue to stir up anti-immigrant hatred. Nor are immigrants and travellers the only victims of the Tories’ drift into dangerously divisive territory. Since 2010, as I have written about repeatedly, the Tories have also persistently demonised the unemployed and those with disabilities. As the Friends, Families and Travellers website explains, the Criminal Justice Act of 1994 “greatly increased the powers of police and local authorities to evict Gypsies and Travellers camping illegally and removed the duty on local authorities, under the 1968 Caravan Sites Act, to provide sites.” FFT further explained that the Act specifically includes the following sections: The repeal of Part II of the 1968 Act, removing the duty on local authorities to provide sites, and abolishing the government grant for constructing gypsy caravan sites. An extended power for local authorities to direct unauthorised campers to leave land, including any land forming part of a highway, any other unoccupied land, or any land occupied without the owner’s consent. It would become a criminal offence for anyone so directed to refuse to leave, or to return to it within three months. An extended power to Magistrate’s Courts to make orders authorising local authorities to enter land and remove vehicles and property, if persons are present in contravention of a direction to leave. A strengthening of the powers contained in the Public Order Act 1986 (Section 39), giving the police power to direct trespassers to leave if they have damaged the land itself (as distinct from property on it), or if they have six vehicles. It also extends the application of this section to common land, highway verges, byways, green lanes and other minor highways, and includes new police powers to remove vehicles. As FFT also explained, “The Government’s response to critics of the 1994 Act was that Gypsies and Travellers should buy their own land and set up sites. However, the reality is that the current planning system makes this virtually impossible. Although nomadism and unauthorised camping are not, in themselves, illegal, the effect of the legislation has been to criminalise a way of life.”.

Royal Mint, National Debt The shocking truth about the royals’ finances By Norman Baker In his irreverent and uncompromising bestseller … And What Do You Do?, former Minister of State and Privy Counsellor Norman Baker laid bare what the British royal family didn’t want us to know, namely its extravagant use of public money and general bad behaviour. This sensational sequel goes even deeper in its analysis of royal finances, examining where the money comes from, how it is used and what has changed with the arrival of a new king. Amongst many other things, it reveals how a family that was effectively bankrupt in 1760 is now one of the richest in the country; how they lobby governments and the media to maximise their profits from the public purse; and how they take advantage of a uniquely beneficial tax and legislative regime. Packed with details on the acceptance of dodgy donations; the appropriation of official gifts for personal use; and the exploitation of public bodies including the NHS, churches and charities, who are charged punitive rates for the use of Duchy-controlled land, this eye-opening exposé also includes a chapter on Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and his money-making endeavours, including his friendships with convicted fraudsters, paedophiles and spies. Pulling no punches, this is the book the royal family really don’t want you to read. Reviews “Norman Baker’s hard-hitting book, cataloguing countless staggering examples of royal greed and exploitation, makes for urgent reading. It’s a wake-up call for monarchists, for passive republicans and for the many who care about this country and democracy.” Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, columnist for The i “In his punchy book, Norman Baker comprehensively exposes the scandalous truth about the royals and their insatiable drive to enrich themselves. It will shake the beliefs of even the most fervent monarchists.” Rob Evans, The Guardian
