Somewhere within the bowels of a Lloyds Banking Group office there is a greybeard IT guy (called Steve or Gary) who had been planning on retirement last year. but was persuaded to stay on because no-one else knew how everything worked, saying very loudly with a world-weary air to some senior executives with MBAs and economics degrees right now: "I told you this would happen and you didn't listen" And there are a lot of much more junior IT people running around "preponing" meetings while they "do the needful".

I absolutely detest how our country has been allowed to overflow with rubbish. The countryside filled with plastic. It is everywhere. Every roadside, caked with filth. We shouldn’t accept it as normal. It is not normal. It is vile. Clearly there needs to be a central clean up effort, but actually? The key message is this. PUT YOUR RUBBISH IN A BIN. People need to take responsibility. It’s disgusting.

@KingBobIIV You forgot to mention that when such strategic national assets are sold to the various dubious foreign interests, it's labelled as vital foreign investment that demonstrates the attractiveness of our economy. 🤡🤡🤡

It’s times like this I’m particularly grateful for the utter incompetence of the British political class over the last thirty years, who decided that running a serious country with its own industry, energy supply, food production and strategic infrastructure was all rather old-fashioned and a bit vulgar in the modern globalised age. Steel, which we once made in enormous quantities and exported around the world, largely gone so we can import it from China. Oil refineries steadily shut down because apparently an island nation of seventy million people has no real need to refine its own fuel anymore. Gas storage scrapped because planning for winter is clearly a paranoid hangover from the twentieth century. Domestic farming buried under tax, regulation and land policy so that we now import a huge proportion of the food we eat while congratulating ourselves on the virtue of stopping cow farts. Our nuclear industry, which Britain pioneered, hollowed out and then effectively handed to the French state through EDF Energy, who now run most of the remaining reactors and are building Hinkley Point C, meaning the lights in Britain are increasingly dependent on the industrial policy of Paris. Large parts of the water system sold off to foreign investors through companies like Thames Water, who have somehow managed to extract billions in debt and dividends while simultaneously turning Britain’s rivers and coastline into an open sewer. At one point we even invited the Chinese state into the middle of our nuclear power programme through China General Nuclear, because when you are building critical national infrastructure the obvious partner is a strategic rival with very different interests. Meanwhile enormous chunks of London property, infrastructure and utilities sit in the portfolios of overseas sovereign wealth funds such as the Qatar Investment Authority, while large volumes of the gas keeping the country running now arrive from the Norwegian state energy company Equinor, because clearly a country sitting on the North Sea has no need to worry too much about controlling its own energy supply. Having spent decades dismantling domestic industry, closing refineries, weakening food production, selling strategic infrastructure and outsourcing energy, we now borrow vast amounts of money, send billions abroad in aid and development projects, and appear genuinely confused when countries that still make steel, refine fuel, control their utilities and guard their national industries suddenly seem to have a great deal of leverage over us. Still, I’m sure it will all be fine. History is full of examples of great powers becoming stronger by dismantling their own industrial base and outsourcing the basics of national survival to whoever happens to be selling them that week. But its ok because they're doing ballroom dancing.

The Elizabeth Line is useful and everything but every single one of the platforms is dull, bland, and identical. At least the dirty old underground stations have a bit of character.

@IAmJohnnySinsUK @ukhomeoffice The bloke was on a tourist visa. He was working illegally with Deliveroo. Hence his rapid expulsion. The girl was on a student visa so could work. She was looking after her aunt and uncle here but couldn't get the visa extended.

This is everything that is wrong with the UK. Khan has “no fixed abode”. He goes around breaking into buildings and stealing stuff. What sentence does he get? 12 months in prison. A senior police officer once told me that people serving short sentences like this come out and do exactly the same crimes again. And again. Sometimes escalating the violence. The police have to go and round them all up again….only for them to get another few months in prison. And then the whole merry circle starts again.
The Independent@Independent

Muhedur Khan, 45, of no fixed abode, was caught on CCTV attempting to break into a London building on 4 December. Later that same day, he forced himself into another building where he stole five laptops, seven iPhones, and five iPads. Khan was sentenced to 12 months for burglary and was given a 12-month sentence for attempted burglary which will run concurrently. Click the link in bio for more 🔗
