Probity in Local gov is a key requirement - probity in politics similarly so.
Aitken went to jail and Hamilton lost out.
The absence of probity in health is mind boggling. Stevens does not dare utter - Paying locum staff huge standin fees - without managing their own priorities and then uttering we cant manage - whilst allowing trusts to pay huge salaries to the hierarchy of the NHS and boards.
The inability of the service to manage day to day matters whilst drawing so much cash for what the execs do.
The CEO Stevens is still there - accepting No blame for incompetence - and allowing thousands of critical patients to be ignored.
Drs wont allow us in bcos this flu will kill us - soon to be insisting we have to have some jab to protect - meet us in the car park.
Where is the truth in all this posturing?

George Ball23 Sep 2020 8:38PMI don't think it is possible for the EU to back down all the way. Half-way house?There is no such thing as a compromise on the question of the UK being subservient to the ECJ. We either are or we are not. Likewise with fish, we either have full control over our coastal waters, allowing reciprocal deals to our advantage, or else to keep all others out.C-19 has the one advantage of letting a WTO exit to force home our advantage. There will be no massive queues in Kent if trade is at a low and when Germany is desperate to export cars and the others desperate to export their food and wine. Let them stew in their own juices.As an independent sovereign country, we are free to source our imports from where we wish.

TJ Ga23 Sep 2020 8:21PMIn simplistic terms, I can do without German cars, french wine and even Spanish holidays. All these can be replaced.I am happy to eat welsh lamb and UK farming produce, but I have yet to see where all this news paper talk is getting us.I am sure the UK will find a way to trade and the EU will miss our financial contribution to their economy in may ways if they stick to their stupid policiy of trying to take advantage and punish the us for leaving their fiefdom.

It's been bogus and distorted from the word go.


The real problem is trying to figure what is really behind it .. what are they trying to hide?

The chat and gossip about the £40m donated by Bill Gates to Chris Witty and his earlier Ebola work is worrying.

We hope it is innocent, but we need a total freedom from any suspicion of corruption and conspiracy theories with this Covet crisis.

That is the next stage for the gossips, conspiracy theories from vested interests.

The recent presentation from the so called experts was maybe designed scare the public into behaving responsibly.

But the graph showing exponential growth and potential 49,000 new infections per day was a disgrace, more political that scientific.

The only number that sticks is from elsewhere, 307 dead for fit under 60's.
A genuine scientist should have told us that important fact.

Another important fact was the inclusion of a very ill 98 year old in the Covid death figures. One was over 100 years old.

It is bogus science and a gross distortion.

jl5006, the only thing that makes sense to me, is the deliberate act of wrecking the economy, which I believe is being done to hide the biggest ever banking crisis. (see wallstreetonparade.com and scroll back to 20th September repo-market)

In a genuine pandemic, all airports would have been closed within 24 hrs, Heathrow would not have been left wide open for months. Quite early on it became clear that hydrochloriquine was an effective deterrent, and yet it has not been issued enmasse to the working age population. An Italian university also learnt early on that the bugh thrives on the linings of blood vessels and likes cool temperatures 2C to 4C, and yet meat plants were not closed, despite there being high levels of infections amongst the workforces in them, and in other food plants making chilled products.

Thus a more normal economy could have been kept going, and simply shelter the vulnerable groups. But quite deliberately common sense has not been applied, thus I conclude this is not a deadly pandemic, but an exercise in deliberate economic destruction so that the banking system can be re-booted without drawing attention to the many 10's of $ trillions it will cost. Also, the inevitable inflation of this money creation could well bring back more normal interest rates, so that pensions and savings can operate normally again.

Icarus, Thatcher wasn't a 'greenie' saving the planet from coal, she was a politician out to destroy the financial base of the Labour Party, by destroying the trade unions. The weak Labour Party let her get away with it, and the lot of the working man has gone downhill ever since. A genuine Labour Party would have called a general strike, but by then the party had been taken over by white collar careerists, and emasculated.

Chavitravi2,

Yes but he is also going to extend the job retention loans that banks have to administer even though they cannot do due diligence. They have also been told by Rishi that the Government will not help banks to recover loans when due. WTF Banks being screwed again!

Don’t use the banks to administer these loans as was previously mentioned on this bb, treasury should send out loans ie cheques in the post, so when sh1t hits the fan, it shouldn’t affect Banks.

Banks should be allowed to charge what they like as no one is forcing people to take out a loan with banks. If banks change interest rates then exiting from say a mortgage without charge should be allowed, leaving the punter to take out another mortgage elsewhere.

Nothing in life is free and the Gov and Joe public are taking the p1ss out of Banks. Bank CEOs should stick two fingers up to the Gov.

Tories spending money is ok because there will always be a good reason.
Labour spending money not ok because chances are it is wasteful.

As a loyal slugger and shamer I will one day remember our time as a member of the EU. as a golden age of plenty.

Satirist in the future will play recordings of Boris the Buffoon talking about our 'sparkling future', it will be funny by then.

PS
Did you see the well researched Panorama programme?
The Russian Mafia types funding the Tory Party and Farage with millions during the Brexit campaign.

Corruption everywhere, nothing passes the smell test.

TSB has announced that it will no longer pay any interest on its Classic Plus account, from Dec.2. It is at 1.5%, up to £1,500.

NS&I's move is probably going to ripple through the savings market like this. Lloyds'
Club account to follow?

Noticed 2 things today. 1. Most banks were down yesterday while we were up.

Slowly slowly catchy monkey comes to mind. MW have to close sometime and they know it. The longer they leave it and things at the same time in UK become better the bigger the jump. Imo.
