The 'Guardian' Is Against The Idea...

..but it'd be all for it if the men just called themselves women.

It is not hard to see why ministers are considering converting parts of the women’s prison estate for use by men. While Andy Burnham’s decision to narrow the early-release scheme was born of political necessity, it has made an already acute capacity problem worse.so far. 

That seems to be Bodybag's only talent, so far, everything he touches unravels at speed. Even Starmer didn't disappoint so early into his reign.  

The government is trying to innovate. Last week it was announced that £110m will be spent on creating new cells in existing jails, by converting underused spaces such as storage and laundry areas. Deportations are to be speeded up, if foreign governments can be persuaded to cooperate.

And if they won’t, then we should immediately cut off any aid we give them, plus visa privileges, and send any ambassadorial staff home. 

But nobody believes that these schemes will be enough.

Here it comes, the hidden motive… 

Most women are imprisoned for non-violent offences and pose no threat to public safety. Two out of three have been victims of domestic abuse; one in three have a child under 10. More than a quarter are on remand, so have not even been sentenced. The social and financial costs of locking them up are shockingly high. It is good to see these arguments gaining traction. A landmark review by Jean Corston proposed the replacement of women’s jails with smaller local custodial centres nearly 20 years ago.

Poor weak women shouldn't be expected to face justice like men have to! Typycal... 

But rushing to close a women’s prison, or part of one, in order to free up space for men would be damaging, as experts have pointed out.

Oh! That’s refreshing! 

The single most pressing question is

... just how to stop these psychopaths?

An excerpt from Will Jones at Lord Toby's site, on the latest Net Zero lunacy, a standing joke in the west but fervently believed by the weak of mind and short of real data wokerati:

Labour has launched a Net Zero scheme to transport hot water on barges on the River Thames to heat London homes instead of each home having a gas boiler. The Telegraph has the story.

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) has earmarked £41 million for a project to launch electric boats that will travel upriver from a power plant in Belvedere, south east London, before pumping water into storage tanks on riverside pontoons.

From here, the water, heated to almost 100 degrees Celsius, would flow through pipes into nearby heat networks, which are systems that supply hot water to multiple buildings from a centralised heat source, rather than each property having its own boiler. The Government has claimed the project could eventually supply up to 650,000 homes.

The scheme, believed to be the first of its kind anywhere in the world, could also serve London landmarks, including the National Theatre, when it launches in 2028.

The Telegraph understands that most of the £41 million funding will go towards extracting waste heat from the Belvedere power plant to warm the water, as well as building four barges. Each barge could hold two million litres of water, equivalent to 80% of the volume of an Olympic-sized swimming pool.

Clearly a very dark joke upon the people of the land, with no regard for the science of the madcap scheme, nor the eye-watering costs.  Someone in power is most certainly "extracting the micturation" as they wipe us out.  You can just picture the planning meeting coming up with this bollox.

And from the comments thread:

Putting this lunacy together with, say, the performing seal, muderous Mengele-Hancock psychopathy of the "Covid" response and killer vaxxes years ... together with young British boots in the paedo, child trafficking, money-laundering, biolab, meat-mangler horror of the Ukraine and you start to see the diseased minds behind all this.

Or Mind, if we wish to get metaphysical about it.

The sole question is ... how to stop these maniacs, the henchmen, myrmidons and the brainwashed, before we truly are largely destroyed, our remnantvenslaved in perpetuity?

No, Just No!

For the first time ever, we have a British prime minister who studied for an English degree. Not all of his 58 predecessors went to university, but those who did favoured subjects such as history and classics and, more recently, philosophy, politics and economics.

And turned out to be so utterly useless at all those things… 

Yet reading fiction is a fantastic preparation for life, for understanding people and the times through which we live. Novels encourage empathy, they help you to stand in other people’s shoes, to navigate complicated, sometimes conflicting emotions, they entertain and bring joy.

I agree! 

However, there has been a marked decline over recent years in the numbers of children reading for pleasure.

Wonder why? 

In 2025, the educational charity End Sexism in Schools released a report – Manopolies – revealing that 76% of students study An Inspector Calls by JB Priestley for their modern text from a possible 21 modern texts (a play, wonderful as it is, that’s been on one board’s set text list for 39 years). Then a whopping 93% of students study either A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens or The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson for their 19th-century novel from nine possible texts (including Charlotte Brontë, Mary Shelley and Jane Austen). Only 5% of students in England and Wales study a female-authored text at GCSE.

Oh, that’s why! Nothing kills the desire to read a book for pleasure as thoroughly as white middle class liberals demanding you read one that ticks an ‘equality’ box. And they think they can encourage kids to do it by forcing them into the curriculum. 

It’s true that there are diverse modern works by inspirational women on the lists of the four exam boards – Kit de Waal, Tanika Gupta, Jeanette Winterson, Malorie Blackman are all offered. The problem is that schools are disincentivised to change the texts they teach as this would involve costs and additional work.

And so, 'The Guardian' decides to ask modern authors to pick books which will 'inspire a lifelong love of reading' and so should be set as school texts. Let's read some of the blurbs to see why, eh, Reader?  

Wouldn’t it be refreshing to see a blisteringly funny novel on the syllabus? The Trees is a daring satire on racism, generational guilt and cultural complicity, inspired by the lynching of Emmett Till.

Emmet Till is a black man who was lynched in the Deep South of America in 1955, and so bears as much relationship to the lives of modern black children in the UK as Nanook of the North. 

I recommend this play. For a Black working-class London family, it’s a normal weekday – until the teenage son is senselessly stabbed and killed.

Well, it’s gritty and urban, and realistic, but do children want to read about something so familiar to their lives? I thought the point was to ‘walk in someone else’s shoes’? 

This wise, chaotic, gentle, painful, funny, superb novel follows five teens trying to navigate the most difficult year of their lives, while the town’s cool indie kids are battling Stranger Things-sized perils in vignettes at the start of each chapter. It contains some of the truest (and helpful) lines about social anxiety I’ve ever read.

 Great, giving kids 'social anxiety' to read about to ensure more kids believe themselves to be victims. Why the need to ban the internet if the schools are going to spread popular social contagions instead?

In those two exam years, my daughter studied not one female prose writer, not one writer of colour, only four female characters in the entire trio of set texts (if you count Macbeth’s witches as individual characters, which is debatable, oh and a female pig, according to one teacher).

Your daughter has a virtue-signalling fool for a mother - let her read what she needs to without checking it against a politically correct purity test first. Female and black characters don't automatically make a work of literature better just because someone on the Internet said so!

One of the weaknesses of the literary education of this country is that students are not exposed early in life to the valuable literatures of non-European people, particularly Africans.

If they really were valuable, we'd all be able to name one. I can't, can you Reader?  

First kill off brainwashed youth

... in some far off killing fields ...

Interesting whom they’d put out as their sacrificial lamb, their patsy, to start the far away war talk.

Well well well … if it isn’t Jacob himself:

A selection of reactions which came thick and fast:

I'm Sure There Are More Sympathetic Genuine Victims Of Grooming Gangs...

...but yet the ones the left wing media presents are never really too convincing, when you look at them with an eye unjandiced by identity politics ayway:

"It was the thrill of being with a bad boy." Christine was 13 when she began exchanging messages online with someone she believed was a teenage boy. On their first meeting, she discovered he was a grown man 10 years older than herself. He also told her he was involved with gangs and drugs. 

"I always knew, OK, he's probably hurt someone, but in terms of hurting me, I didn't think it would get to that point," she says.

The nihilism and selfishness of a hardened career streetwalker, in a  13 year old.Thanks, diversity!

Over the next few years, he would use Christine to courier drugs, subject her to extreme sexual exploitation, and assault her so violently she feared she might die. Christine is one of four women who have chosen to waive their anonymity and speak publicly to the BBC documentary, Britain's Forgotten Girls, about how they were targeted by criminals when they were children.

And willingly became criminals in their turn. 

The thrill of feeling wanted was also what led Annie, from south-east London, into the clutches of a gang. At first, she says she "felt quite in awe, quite excited to have the attention" of three older boys who wanted to befriend her, even though she knew they were involved in drugs.

All believe the authorities failed to protect them and did not take their allegations seriously.

And naturally, so does 'The Guardian', fully invested in portray these women as helpless victims of men’s misdoings.

The BBC says it has been told that parental neglect is a common misclassification by social workers of sexual assault involving young girls. It’s not clear whether this is because it makes for a smaller workload or because they are untrained in seeing what’s really going on – but perhaps, given that either seems like a huge dereliction of duty, it doesn’t matter.

So invested that they are even prepared to disapprove of social workers! 

What we might call the first officially missed opportunity to help what was estimated to be at least16500 children at risk was the reaction to the national inquiry led by the then deputy children’s commissioner Sue Berelowitz. Those 2013 findings were largely lost in a welter of recriminations and accusations that the report (which found drug gang abuse cut across all demographics) underplayed the role of ethnicity. It was as if the preceding scandal about grooming gangs had used up the media and public’s allowance of sympathy and at the same time set up a popular narrative from which they didn’t want to deviate.

No, it’s not an equivalent, no matter how much you might want to claim that. 

So we have another film documenting another set of wilful, persistent and profound failures of the system to carry out the protective duties it supposedly exists precisely to perform, another film testifying to the perception of girls and women as second-class citizens, as sirens who bring it on themselves, and another frightening look into the moral, social and cultural abyss that shows no signs of closing.

That abyss is one that’s prevalent in the black community and if you ignore the elephant in the room, you’ll never resolve it. 

I feel some sort of rant coming on

Never mind my ramblings, just skip this post and wait for the “real” blogposts. 😎

A good Sunday to y’all … just had the most amazing sleep … had to be getting on for 7 hours. Mixed bag, sleep … finding body aches you never knew you had, heart, joints etc.

Thinking of my folks way back when … their pics are in an old travel case here, plus old gfs and so on. I’m remembering their ageing when it happened, by degrees, that slow deterioration until even writing notes to yourself no longer sufficed. Where was I? Gallivanting around the world again or returning here.

They’d been highly independent and useful, let’s say, my family … we all could repair, build and so on, keep the lawn mown. The initial killer is becoming sedentary, which I’m thinking DAD is not … he has a huge property to attend to at near 90. We do like to have, must have, our own space, our own room to think, to make decisions, without anyone, even family, telling us what to do.

Family and friends call that irascible, cantankerous, brusque perhaps but truth is it takes us longer to think now, even with good food, exercise and a project.

Project is important … nothing worse, methinks, than just going simple in a rocking chair, relying on being attended to. In other words, a certain amount of penury and eking out a living is a good thing … it keeps the machine in its best condition. For example, I have three flights of stairs, someone has to vacuum them, neighbours and I can’t afford to hire someone, we all have vacuums, I have the 25m extension reel.

On the other hand, admins get a thrill from comments

On X, the number of accounts fixated on numbers, traffic, reach is over and above. Think I can safely say that both Julia and I are more fixated on quality of comments ... here are just a few from Ambush Predator, Orphans and Unherdables, for a start.

.....

DAD: No. 11. That was life as children in the 1940s – 50s – 60s. From about the age of 5/6 I would leave the house after breakfast, return for lunch: the off again until supper. My parents knew that I was “Down the fields”. When older I used to cycle for miles and miles. Take a sandwich and be away all day. Ask at any house for water to drink. no problems.

That was life as I knew it, Jim.

Jaded: Never trust people with lots of vowels in their names. If I had a £ every time I dealt with an African who threw themselves to the floor hysterically I'd be a rich man. They are obviously taught that tactic at a young age as a distraction from their dreadful behaviour.

Bill: We all I would argue experience examples of liars lying on a daily basis but we pretend that there is nothing that can be done but go along with "the system" thus putting our innate responsibility to ourselves in a box...in a locker...in a container...at the bottom of the sea where we don't have to face it. That is how "the system" endures . It cannot change it is an inert belief that cannot act, think, speak, listen only you can do those things. You can see things as they are and choose what to do about them. That's personal responsibility.

Bucko: Isn't being a white rapper some kind of cultural appropriation, or something?

Lord T: I used to use facts myself in my job and picking the right facts was critical. I had a book 200% of nothing where the author justified installing street lighting using crime stats and with those same stats proved that installation was not justified. It opened my eyes to a new technique I have used for decades.

Mike Bravo: Swimming is just another form of white supremacy. Blacks invented it but Whitey stole it from them.

Steve: By allowing it (beach launching) the French are in contravention to SOLAS 1974, SAR 1979 and UNCLOS 1982. Using your maritime rescue assets to shepherd an unseaworthy vessel toward a handover point some 12 nautical miles into the busiest sea lane in the world is not providing assistance. It is collusion with human traffickers. Both French and British governments are complicit as evidence exists of radio communications between French Maritime Gendarmerie vessels and H.M. Border Force vessels. A criminal enterprise with joint state sponsorship. That is all.

Tammly: My brother and I went to a Richard Thompson concert at the South Bank a few years back. He started the gig with a vent in the negative about Margaret Thatcher and how horrible she was. This pro Thatcher audience member was not happy. You don't go to a music venue to listen to the political views of the musicians. Although some of the audience were happy with it, I was pissed off by it and have never listened to his music again.

Watchman: Theatre has become the performance space for either tired, repetitive leftist derivative shite lecturing and hectoring the paying audiences, or rewritten, bowdlerised, sanitised and mutilated classics to make them "relevant" and to add a "message" often with frankly laughable DEI castings to show how "inclusive" it is, again insulting the paying public's intelligence.

Discovered Joys: If you look for something hard enough you will find it. Whether it exists or not.

In yer ear: There are clues in a lot of popular song lyrics especially the ones that don’t seem to make sense for example making the supposed subject singing those words look dense or needing to give their heads a good shake. The one above is what came to me when Hancock (M) and his two supporting artists – the “experts” were flim-flamming us about the plandemic. It could also be applied to everything else the pollies deliver.

Doonhamer: Just being crankily pedantic. Everyone supporting a " race " must be " racist ", Shirley?

Bill again: Nobody seems to be asking “Why Piddington?” It's not the only village near a militsry base “destined” for a foreigner accomodation site. Why is this the one chosen to be the darling of the media, the faker, the members of the parliament to rock up at and “discover the real truth”.

Mark the Skint Sailor: There is an impossibility here. There is an impossibility for a completely new, previously unelected and therefore untainted party to win elections in the UK.

John Cheshire: The Ukrainian government headed by Mr (z)Elenskyy is a parasitic organism and to their shame the collective West is constantly feeding the parasite with our money and means of self defence without ever asking for our permission.

Toodles: I can’t go past a weed without pulling it, as well as other various weeds, which after this summer, the summer of goofballs and ‘thorny people weeds’ ambushing me 🫤😑😲🥴, so are the weeds in our yard. Yep, gonna yank a bunch of weeds out! By the roots!

Humblest apologies to the many whose comments are not here, e.g. Penseivat ... your comments are read and noted.

You've Heard Of A Land Grab, Well, Here's A Benefit Grab!

Schools and councils across England are expecting the proportion of children with special needs plans to double to one in 10, with families rushing to secure support before ministers bring in changes  

Support they didn’t already have, so why do they think they need it now? Just because the option to have it is threatened of course.

Headteachers have reported an “unreal” surge in applications for education, health and care plans (EHCPs) mandating support for needs or disabilities such as speech and learning difficulties, autism or ADHD. In 2025, just one in 20 school-age children had EHCPs.

Are we breeding more defective kids, then? Shouldn’t someone be concerned?

No, because that’s not what’s happening at all.This is the effects of social contagion and the attempt to get ahead of the rest of the plebs!

The number of pupils with EHCPs has risen by more than 11% in each of the past two years, and projections by local authorities seen by the Guardian are anticipating similar double-digit annual increases over the next three years. Similar levels nationally would mean just under 10% of all school-age children with an EHCP in 2029.

Clearly an unsustainable rise. 

Such a rapid increase would outstrip the government’s own forecasts and eat into funding for improving specialist support in mainstream schools, undermining its plans for immediate reform while straining school and council budgets.

Georgia Gould, the schools minister overseeing the changes, said the government was carefully considering the responses to its white paper, which aims to give children earlier diagnosis and intervention and moderate the need for EHCPs.

Diagnosis of what, though? Their parents desire to have a ‘special ‘ child for brownie points with the other mum’s and extra accommodation in exams for their spawn?

Fragmentation is the name of the game

Raja Miah is an activist in Oldham, has been for a quarter of a century, against a particular mafia called The Biraderi. He wrote this on his site:

My arrest was instigated by Cllr Arooj Shah, then leader of Oldham Council and a senior figure in Andy Burnham’s team. In addition to the Rape Gang cover up, I had exposed her direct associations with multiple men from the Pakistani community who can only be described as gangsters. The arrest followed a failed attempt to frame me for the firebombing of her car. To this day GMP have charged nobody for that crime. No surprise. Watch the CCTV footage and make your own mind up about what took place. The case against me collapsed after Shah ran away from taking the stand to testify. It was then made very clear to me, by police officers and by powerful men from within the community, what would happen if I carried on speaking out against the Cartels and the Biraderi clan structure through which they operate. I ignored them. Last night Maajid Nawaz used the word Cartel and Biraderi whilst describing how these Pakistani gangs blackmail politicians for power. What we have been evidencing is now finally being repeated on national news. It is a massive win for us. However, I disagree with him on one small but significant point. The politicians are not being blackmailed. They are partners. They are in bed with the Pakistani Cartels.

So immediately, we see the divides. I’d say, with him being of Indian extraction, then his natural foe would be Sinatsikap as with many Brit streetfighters, e.g. Mark Collett. Opposing this tete-a-tete are those like Tommy who see it as a Cimalsi cult v Brit Christendom thing, but there’s also and Israel factor in there. So Mark Collett and Tommy R are both of the same extraction … but are at odds.

And now this:

RM’s seems to have been a lone hand till now, just as has been Danny Tommo’s:

I read from those opposed to him that DT might well be letter agency.

Right, so what do we have here in Britain in the fight to eliminate the threat, mainly to women and girls but also to boys (goats and swans too?) … we have fragmentation. And fragmentation suits the book of the Establishment, plus those controlling them. If we can’t even decide whether the enemy is religious, ethnic, ancient Sabbatean or whatever, then where does one start?

Who Knew This Would Happen?

It is a Wednesday afternoon at Stratford housing court, and every seat in the waiting room is full. Over the next few hours, a conveyor belt of tenants and lawyers file into the courtroom to discuss their housing disputes – up to 29 cases are dealt with in a single day. In one case, a tenant is trying to buy more time after receiving a section 21 no-fault eviction earlier in the year, before they were banned. He has had no luck finding emergency housing with his local council. His landlord wants him out in the next 14 days, but he says he needs more time. He is off work due to chronic ill health, and has three children aged eight, five and one – the two eldest are due back at school next week. He wants the maximum 42 days, but the judge grants 28, meaning he could be facing homelessness by the end of the month.

In another case, the judge postpones a section 21 eviction order made just before the new Renters’ Rights Act came in, as some of the documentation was proven to be out of date. This gives the tenant more time to find a new home.

And the landlord more delay in selling or re-renting the place, but who cares about that? 

While tenants try to delay their evictions, landlords make requests for their cases to be moved to the high court in an attempt to speed things up – the current wait for bailiffs in this part of London is seven months. Lawyers have said a wave of last-minute no-fault evictions, and a growing number of landlords selling their properties, is pushing more renters into homelessness and driving England’s housing courts to breaking point.

Who could have predicted this? Everyone, and they did! But the government had the bit between their teeth and didn’t listen, as usual.

“There was a lot of talk about no-fault evictions ending, but technically they haven’t – we’re getting a lot of section 8 notices where the tenant isn’t at fault, but the landlord has a right to sell,” Sidki said. “Sometimes these are tenants who have lived in the property for a decade, and they can’t find anywhere else to go.” Lawyers said the lack of affordable homes for renters to move into meant they were increasingly delaying eviction as long as possible. Many local authorities have also told tenants they must resist eviction in order to access emergency housing support.

My brother had this issue with his tenant. 

Nye Jones from Generation Rent said: “The fact so many landlords uprooted tenants’ lives just because they still could, shows how badly we needed greater protections and the end of section 21. 

“Ideally local authorities should be providing more support to people who are on the cusp of homelessness than just ‘stay at home until the bailiffs come’. But it’s a sad fact that they want to avoid putting them in temporary accommodation as long as possible.”

Of course they do! It costs money to do anything, something you single issue, fresh out of university, socialists never realise.
