An interesting discussion on the Radio 4 Media Show, started off with an exchange about the NATO summit and what Trump had to say, BBC presenter asked if the press conference was chaotic, talk about bias. Then it got interesting US Correspondent said actually the press conference is so much better under Trump, 'we get access to Trump and can ask him whatever we want to. Under Biden access was strictly controlled and only a small number of vetted questions were allowed'. We complain about what Trump says, under Biden there was apparently no real access or transparency, we had no idea what was going on with Biden. It is on BBC Sounds if you want to hear the full discussion.
We get all sorts of messages from our politicians and journalists. Europe stands with Ukraine is one we have been fed many times in many forms. The reality however is very different while people die on the battlefield European politicians are busy pumping money into Russia. The EU sent 73 billion dollars to Ukraine in aid but paid Russia 233 billion dollars for fuel. Russian exports of gas to the EU grew by 20 percent in 2024.
Restrictions on our abilities to protest and express our opinions in writing have led me to start small thinking of small acts of defiance. Today I have started to acknowledge courteous drivers letting me out into traffic with a Hitler salute rather than a friendly wave. Nobody seems to mind and lots of friendly smiles and gestures indicate to me that people are ready to recreate the Third Reich, if only at road junctions.
Yesterday about 900 people crossed the channel, the Government is now paying an average of £41,000 a year to house an illegal migrant. In housing costs alone that will cost us nearly £37 Million a year just for one days crossings, at 900 a day the bill is £13.5 Billion. Those who say illegal migration is not a problem are at best misled.
Much better under Sheehan, a few decent attempts today following a quick piece of control, looking like he could be a decent option for us. It must be soul destroying to be an attacker watching the pointless sideways and backwards nonsense that we saw under Williams.
BP, a UK company, has just signed a deal with Iraq to produce 20 Billion Barrels of Oil. This will increase CO2 emissions by the equivalent of what the total UK CO2 emissions are by 50 percent for the duration of the contract.
Then on the same day we get told the below, are we being misled?
