MAN LOSES EVERYTHING FOR TELLING THE TRUTH. HSBC LOSES NOTHING FOR FRAUD. Nicholas Wilson spotted something wrong in 2003. Simple enough: @HSBC's subsidiary HFC Bank was quietly adding a 16.4% "debt collection charge" to the accounts of people already struggling to pay off store cards at John Lewis, Currys, B&Q, Dixons and PC World. Illegal. Straightforward. He said so. His boss started calling him "Mr Ethical." Not a compliment. He reported it. Got sacked. Reported it again. Got ignored. Regulators sat on it for years. @TheFCA own Complaints Commissioner eventually said it was the worst case of regulatory failure he'd ever dealt with. The FCA responded by appointing someone from John Lewis and someone from HSBC to its board. You genuinely cannot make this up. After 13 years, HSBC quietly agreed to compensate customers. The official figure: 6,700 people. Wilson says the real number is closer to 500,000. He estimates the fraud totalled over £1 billion. HSBC has paid out around £200 million so far, with some victims receiving over £10,000. No fines. No prosecutions. Nobody went to jail. Wilson, meanwhile, has been unemployable ever since. Blacklisted. Living on benefits. Nearly lost his home. The bank that defrauded half a million people kept its licence. The man who exposed it lost everything. Source: @guardian | nicholaswilson_com

The nut zero zealotry of Ed Miliband. A new occasional series. [feel free to add]. Fertiliser prices and shortages are soaring because the petrochemical industries of the Gulf states are major global suppliers but the Strait of Hormuz, through which they export, is closed. Not good for the spring planting season. Undaunted the UK will introduce a levy on imported carbon-intensive fertiliser as part of its costly obsession with cutting emissions, even when the impact is slight. At a time when we should be increasing food security government policy is to penalise farmers further.

I’m genuinely struggling to understand this. Ye is banned from the UK for saying offensive things. Meanwhile, a former ISIS terrorist, Ahmed al-Sharaa was shaking hands with Keir Starmer and King Charles III last week. One said mean things. The other chopped heads off. This does not make sense.

@disclosetv @merissahansen17 Lol threat to all musicians

A Scottish Green candidate has been labelled 'monumentally stupid' and 'dangerously naive' after calling for the end of prisons in Scotland. Kate Nevens — who is standing on the Edinburgh and Lothians East regional list — says she is 'keen to live in a Scotland' with no jail 👇

@disclosetv The Starmtroopers would happily let a Palestinian terrorist in though

JUST IN - Ye banned from entering UK to perform at Wireless Festival, "as his presence would not be conducive to the public good" — Sky

The sacking of that Waitrose worker is disgraceful. All he did was tackle a shoplifter. Britain is now a society that punishes people who stand up to thieves more harshly than the thieves themselves. This madness needs to stop, says Brendan O’Neill buff.ly/lylensH

@lukerobertblack Cancel the Netflix and make coffee at home. That's £30 a month saved already. In two years that's £720. Nearly enough for a deposit in 1982. Not sure what the problem is. 🇬🇧

@kelvmackenzie This policy is replicated across many UK businesses. The police are far more likely to arrest a shop worker than a crack head.

Two strange takeaways from the Waitrose sacking after 17 years of Walker Smith who tackled a shoplifter. 1) That the Left hasn’t demanded his reinstatement while the Tories have. Is he the wrong colour? 2) Thanks to Waitrose public statements every thief now knows to go into their shops and steal without retribution. A bloody awful decision by a bloody awful management.

Banned for an entire week because I said I don't give a fuck about the opinions of illiterate third worlders. Would someone be banned for saying they don't care about what an American's opinion is on the Middle East? Of course not Blatant double standard, I didn't break ToS

@ReemAmirIbrahim You need to go back

"White British families (54%) were the most likely out of all ethnic groups to receive state support – families from the Chinese ethnic group (25%) were the least likely to" None of this is good, but blaming the bloated welfare bill entirely on foreigners misses the point.

All leftwing politics today boils down to preventing young men from taking back their civilization

@Councillorsuzie You Tories are failures and traitors. Thatcher is rolling in her grave at you bunch of losers and your woke agenda, soft on crime, high tax and Boris wave Into the bin you all go

What a spiteful comment.

Gramsci's Dividend. Paid in Full. @g_gosden, what this chart actually shows is the dividend of fifty years of institutional capture paying out in real time. Reform leads among the least educated at 42 percent. Among the most educated it drops to 13 percent while Labour, the Greens and the Liberal Democrats collectively dominate. The assumption embedded in the framing of this data, and in your post, is that this reflects the superiority of educated judgment. It does not. It reflects something far more revealing about what British education has become. The most educated in Britain are the most likely to have passed through institutions that have spent decades teaching them what to think rather than how to think. Universities that no longer tolerate ideological diversity. Humanities departments captured by a worldview in which Western civilisation is the problem, national identity is suspect, borders are violence and anyone who questions the progressive consensus is not wrong but morally deficient. The products of those institutions are not more enlightened. They are more thoroughly processed. Meanwhile the least educated, the people the progressive establishment consistently dismisses as unsophisticated, have reached their conclusions the hard way. Through lived experience of open borders, two tier policing, parallel communities, suppressed wages, overwhelmed public services and the systematic prioritisation of every interest except theirs. They did not need a university to tell them what they can see with their own eyes. Gramsci called it the long march through the institutions. The deliberate capture of education, media, the civil service, the judiciary and the cultural establishment to shape the assumptions of the next generation before they ever enter a polling booth. This chart is what that march looks like when it reaches the ballot box. The most educated vote for the parties that educated them. The least educated vote for the parties that represent what they actually experience. The left calls this a problem of education. It is actually a problem of indoctrination. And the difference matters enormously.

Our garden this spring. The gardener charged us £1,100 this month. My eyes nearly popped out. Our whole pension will go on upkeep at this rate and people say boomers are privileged. We just want to enjoy our modest little patch in peace. 🌿🇬🇧

A 15-year-old girl accidentally took 10x doses of LSD at the same time. All because a dealer at a festival forgot a decimal in a dose of liquid LSD. Instead of 100 µg, she got: 1,100 µ𝗴 6 hours later, she started seizing. Her fists locked up & she went fetal. But when she woke up in the hospital 14 hours later, the only words she said to her father were: "𝘐𝘵'𝘴 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳." At first, he thought she meant the LSD. Turns out, she meant 𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗶𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿. The mood swings & hallucinations she had struggled with since she was 5? Completely. 𝗚𝗼𝗻𝗲. 10 Hours later, she walked home. She never used her BPD meds again. She also never relapsed again. They checked in with her 13 years later and found she never had another issue. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗦𝗗 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻.
