On the subject of Nichil Rathi and the Motor Finance issue, there is a FCA Podcast that has been put out to explain Rathi’s actions.

If he is fed to the Wolves, let’s hope the next incumbent is more business friendly. After all, no one twisted their arms to sign the contracts and ‘buyer beware’ call to mind.

If interested, link to podcast :-

Actually The Stumbler did say something else yesterday morning several times "diolch" - said he'd been practicing for a year 🤣

Farmers on Llandudno promenade weren't impressed 🥶

Thanks very much freddie. I have been wondering for a while now what happened to the private prosecution. As I said a friend of mine said he had been told by a member of the armed police that the case had been buried and was unlikely to surface if left to the CPS. It most definitely is a two tier justice system. How our country has degenerated to such a level is beyond comprehension but imo the majority of the blame is squarely at the door of left wing politicians

Four Months, Still No Charges, Has the Time Come?

Congrats to Nigel Farage for tiring of waiting for the CPS to bring charges against 2 brothers involved in the Manchester airport brawl which left a WPC with a broken nose, and deciding to bring a private prosecution.
It’s four months since CCTV footage showed three police officers being viciously attacked and yet the CPS are no closer to announcing charges.
Quite wrongly two of the officers were suspended after the brawl in July and still are. Why?
The delay compares unfavourably with the speed of prosecution - hurried along by Starmer- of anybody who wrote a social media posts and then received shockingly long sentences.
The Mail on Sunday says Farage has hired two solicitors and will announce his private prosecution tomorrow.
His concern that there is a two-tier approach to the law under Starmer. Nobody can deny that.
Why don’t the Tories can stuck into this kind of populist issue?

As I suspected M2. Not many plumbers use em. Dicing with death on 22mm and if there is any amount of pressure it is almost certainly death.

Farmers to open the sluice gates on Downing St on Tuesday! Going downtown later this afternoon, may drive past for the memory before its cordoned off for swage treatment!

If your organised you shouldn't have to turn the water off/ drain down, I don't bother...waste of time.

[mikemichael2] 17/11/2024 13:23

Never used them scruff, if you're cutting into pipework just drain down !! you clean the system and re-fill with nice clean water and inhibitor. Imagine the panic if you'd frozen the pipe and you needed more time, then you see water starting to dribble out ?

Oh my god, it's a gusher!!!!

[skinny] 17/11/2024 10:13

cobourg - the whole article makes a decent (depressing) read.

As for Nikhil Rathi - maybe he aspires to follow his equally useless predecessor.

[diku] 17/11/2024 09:59

scruff...it freezes the water in the pipe work for short period during any servicing in pipe work without having to drain the full system...plumbers do that eg if having to change radiator/valves...

[scruff1] 17/11/2024 09:49

An ad from screwfix just popped up'Beat the deep freeze with these pipe freezing kits'How TF does that work?£29. Used to be £10 couple of years ago.

[scruff1] 17/11/2024 09:45

Oh dear. Alex Scott to replace LinekEars. Well they have ruined Football Focus and Question of Sport with their regulation wokery so now on to MotD. Diku WTF brought that last post on? What was it about?

[diku] 17/11/2024 08:50

Same club just different Party names in disguise to give voters a choice...the game remains the same only the players change...

[mikemichael2] 17/11/2024 08:45

Just watched 'The Detectives' (BBC I-Player) with that Gang of Asian scumbags from your lovely Rochdale scruff, what a bunch of total scum they are, police being made to look like a right bunch of weak wimps, while they just laughed.

"In any case, speculation is growing that Nikhil Rathi, chief executive of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), is about to be thrown to the wolves in symbolic recognition of the regulatory overkill of recent years. Already the FCA is in a humiliating retreat over plans to “name and shame” companies it investigates."

Daily Telegraph. Jeremy Warner.

Won't be many tears shed on this board I imagine.

Joe
Most honest people have known this for many years. Only the purposely blind wont admit to it. Its not just the total failure of the Conservative government its been the total failure of all governments. I hope when the final chapter of the end of England is written those politicians who have had the power but failed to act are portrayed as the traitors that they most certainly were. Their weak kneed spineless behaviour has destroyed a once greatly admired nation. I despise them all.

From Lord Green:-

“After more than 20 years on the case I found its coverage of Migration Watch truly remarkable, indeed it quoted me 21 times! In doing so it provided an informed and balanced account of immigration to the UK in the first ten years of this century. Indeed, most of the numbers quoted were taken from our material. Nigel Farage quoted it in his interventions as did Jeremy Paxman when interviewing David Blunkett, the Labour Home Secretary at the time. David Cameron himself referred to a private meeting with me and said that MW had brought rigour into the debate. Our suggestion of a cap on net migration set at 100,000 a year was given some prominence.

Looking ahead, the need for Migration Watch to set the pace in this critical debate is now even greater after the total failure of the Conservative government to get a grip on the inflow of migrants. It is clearer by the day that the whole nature of our country is being changed by the sheer scale of net migration. Indeed, on current projections the majority community in our country could well become a minority within some 40 years. If that seems a long time ahead remember that the political influence of immigrant communities is also growing rapidly as some political parties seek their votes."
