Let me get this right. As a civil servant who works for the government, I have not had a pay rise above inflation for nearly a quarter of a century. This year we were given an imposed rise of 2%. Should we decide to vote for strike action, this shower want to make that illegal? The sooner we leave The Little England Reich the better

It's just not a good time for it,  that's all. Maybe in five years when everyone has starved,  frozen or melted,  then you can have your wee strike

If I could, I'd nominate that for post of the week. 

"Reich" is maybe a little strong although I can see why it was used.  I've e also seen "turd reich"  and "poonami" used in connection with the disgusting pollution carried out by the privatised water companies and apparently allowed by the government at Westminster and the "regulator".

I see Liz Truss is getting the blame for the double discharge of sewage into rivers and the sea with her £235m cut to the Environment Agency. Reads likes like this sector has been mismanaged for years, maybe decades.

I would take it the damage done here won't be just about having smelly coastlines but probably renders most shellfish around the coast toxic. That's one thing I can think of just now, there's probably more. Broughty Ferry beach was mentioned as raw sewage was pumped into the Tay.

A few mentions in the media of water companies broken equipment, pipes, filters etc.

What happened to the UK's apparent clean beaches and the standards set? If this story below is to believed apparently people have been swimming in shit all summer without knowing it. https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/twitter-erupts-mocking-possible-sewage-27806706

Maybe the sewage being pumped into the sea is an attempt to build a wall of shite to defend the shores from the asylum invaders?

Wonder what happened in the 2010’s that changed things

Lord Evans, chair of the Committee on Standards in Public Life, also condemned the proposals when they were first made public, saying: “This is a bit like giving a toddler a gun.

“It may not immediately lead to disaster but it is an extremely dangerous thing to do..

Saying what we all know in a clear and concise way.  Tory Party members and voters will simply shrug their shoulders, they couldn’t care less about the erosion of these norms.

They have appointed a Tory donor and an "anti woke campaigner" as trustees of the V and A.

In an entirely unprecedented discovery, it transpires that BoJo may not have been entirely truthful when campaigning in the 2019 General Election... I know, it's hardly believable, is it? 

From the National - 

"Johnson’s party had pledged in its 2019 General Election manifesto to “at a minimum match the size” of the EU funds – and allowed people to think that the money would still be the devolved governments’ to allocate.

Pre-Brexit, the EU funds were worth a total of around £1.5 billion a year.

However, the replacement Shared Prosperity Fund will only be worth £400 million in 2022, rising to £700m in 2023-2024, and to £1.5bn in 2024-25.

 

Furthermore, the Tory government in London took control of funding allocation, rather than leaving the power with the devolved governments in Cardiff and Edinburgh.

In “Independent Nation”, Cairns recalled being on the campaign trail with Johnson, and specifically instructing him to hide their plans to seize control of the funding.

Quoted in Wales Online, Cairns said: “When [Johnson] came down to a hustings debate, we were briefing him and I said: ‘You will get the question, about European aid, [and] in the manifesto we have got to make the commitment that there won’t be a penny less.’

“To quote, Boris said to me: ‘We want to control that, don’t we?’ and I said: ‘Yes, but you can’t say that … because it will really spark a political debate in Wales, because we haven’t yet explained the commitment that you get the same money but it will be localised to a greater degree than the centralised approach that you get for the Welsh government.’

The revelations came from Alun Cairns, who served as the Welsh secretary until late 2019, in an interview published in a new book entitled “Independent Nation: Should Wales Leave the UK?”

Shocked!
