I have always supported the RNLI but just before Christmas they were selling Christmas Cards and calendars as usual in Cornwall and I told the man on the stall how unhappy I was about giving money to pay for rescuing migrants. He was only a volunteer giving his time so no point in bending his ear but we ought to give those running the organisation a talking to.

Actually they were chosen, I believe, to stand for election in North London constituencies with high Caribbean communities. Abbott in Hackney and Lammy in Tottenham. They were both shoe ins but it makes perfect sense from Labour's point of view. Similar tactics are used for constituencies dominated by other ethnic populations such as Hindu and Bangladeshi. It works very well for Labour and is heavily employed in Local Government as well.

Yes but not just any old million will do and Germany for one does not grant its migrant workers the right to stay indefinitely. They get a permit for five years and then they must go. They are not entitled to any benefits and accrue no pension rights A bit like a company employing temps. That could work here. Put them on a contract.

Absolutely right, there is no way they could not have known.

It's another serious loss. One closure after another, the gun trade is contracting.

They were all pretty dire back then.

Good, its payback time hopefully

Yes but he has pleaded poverty, stated that he struggles to pay his bills and it turned out he is worth millions. I think he is in it for the ego boost he gets from being in the limelight. A lot of these self appointed spokespersons are narcissistic

He doesn't even work as a doctor full time. He runs an investment company called Westholme Investments

"I don't recall" is like saying "no comment" it's an admission of guilt. I honestly hope there are a lot of people who aren't sleeping that well anymore.

The more that comes out the more I am convinced by the conspiracy theories that he was silenced. It was just too convenient

Look up on Google Gary Thomas Post Office VERY revealing. Paid a bonus for every postmaster he convicted and the evidence from his emails suggests he wasn't too fussy how he went about it. Also it now turns out the CPS did prosecute post masters during Starmer's time at its head. The plot gets deeper now

And mine, not my childhood but my 20s .I was surprised to find it only ran from 1975 to 1979.

They may never come out. Wasn't very likely that they have been sitting around in a draw all this time gathering dust. If we accept the conspiracy that epstein was murdered in prison to silence him. Who ever had the clout to do that wouldn't have left them lying around. Come to think about it, who would have had the clout to have him bumped off?

Apparently so

From the radio programme yesterday any company or individual can take out a private prosecution. It doesn't have to go through the police or the CPS. They have no monopoly With hindsight it would have been better if they had gone down the police/CPS route because the post office investigation team ( virtually all ex Met CID) behaved worse than the KGB.

It appears from what I heard on the radio that they didn't have special powers they just had a well established internal investigations operation that also handled prosecutions because that's the way they had always done it historically. I think very strongly that the internal investigation team is going to come out very very badly in any enquiry. Certainly they lied repeatedly in court and withheld evidence from the defence lawyers every time. They must have known, don't see how they can deny it.

There was a female junior doctor interviewed on the radio yesterday while I was driving back from Cornwall. God what an arrogant piece of work she was. To her it was clearly politically motivated. She didn't appear to care who died

You cannot work in a major company like the post office in any sort of management capacity and not have realised that something was wrong. The sheer scale of the problem negates anyone using the excuse that they were not aware

My ex wife's cousin was in hospital with covid right at the start of the pandemic She still suffers from tiredness but also from the psychological effects of being on the covid ward seeing so many people dying around her and overhearing the conversations among the staff.

There are more like him than we realise

I knew a man, a very wealthy man, who's proudest boast was that he had never paid a penny tax in his life. When asked why he would say they had never written to him so he saw no reason to write to them. I think part of his 'success ' was because he had never had a job that was PAYE since leaving school so never created a paper trail. He died a couple of years ago from throat cancer. I have wondered since how his executors got on with sorting out his estate.

When my late Mum worked as a volunteer at the local Hospice Charity Shop the bulk of their sales were to resellers.

In a country like America where the senior Judges are appointed by Politicians and the politicians are openly financed by backers like oil companies, tobacco companies and foreign interests what do you expect ?
