    WEEK 1    Trump does tariffs, Smarmer sits on his hands

 
The Worst April Fool of all time
Iran is going to attack the UK/US base on the Chagos island Diego Garcia to prevent Bier Smarmer from giving it away.

Despite a big jump in Council Tax, our wonderful council (Stockport) is abandoning collections of garden waste unless the mug coughs up £59, which will probably be spent on diversity crap and other things of Nett Zero value to the average resident. Wunderbar.
   Water, gas, electricity, essentials of everyday life, just about everything you can think of is also going up this month in response to Thievin's disastrous Budget, Edstone Milipede & grabbing by the rest of Smarmer's Army.
   See what you get when you let only 20% of the electorate give you a government? Dopes, the lot of you.

Bier Smarmer claims he's working hard on a trade deal with the US before Pres. XL slaps tariffs on everything in sight. And Bier is working hard with the industries that will be affected. Which tells us that the cliché mill is all that's working hard to produce hot air & nothing useful will be on offer.

Chemical tinkerers in Germany have come up with a way of creating fois gras without animal cruelty. Instead of force-feeding ducks or geese until their liver Xplodes, the animals are terminated humanely and the livers are treated with enzymes to create something that resembles fois gras in texture & smell.

Sussex University has been fined a record £585,000 for joining in a student campaign against a professor who tried to defend the concept of women-only spaces against the transpicater lobby and was cancelled.
Universities are Xpected to be hit with more fines for endorsing attacks on free speech.
The Sussex fine could have been over three million quid (!!) but the university was let off lightly for being the first offender to be done over.
The uni, meanwhile, is absolutely outraged by what is sees as an attack on what speech it wants to be free and what speech it wants banned. It's the old Two-Bier Justice system misapplied in yet another way.

bootmarkerEyes off the ball
The Chancellor is getting a booting for letting the Office of Budget Responsibility approve everything she does. Mainly because she hasn't been paying attention & she hasn't spotted that the OBR has a long history of getting its guesses horribly wrong.
   Last October, after the Budget, the OBR was guessing that economic growth would be 2% this year. A guess which is now down to 1%. Or 0.7%, according to the Bank of England.

   People who didn't have English as their first language gave all sorts of unreliable answers and outright guesses as they didn't understand the questions.
The ONS & other government bodies are heavily infiltrated by far-Left wonks, who falsify data by conflating actual sex & gender of the day. It is entirely down to them that these dodgy numbers have not been discarded sooner.

markerThe deindustrializers
Trump tariffs & Edstone Milipede Nett Zero green taxes will close down the British steel industry and all new steel will have to be imported from abroad. That's what fate has in store in June or September unless someone boots Bier Smarmer up the bum and forces him to keep his promise to save the plant @ Scunthorpe.
   Which is not looking like a good bet, going from Smarmer's record in office.
Edstone Milipede's contributions to deindustrialization include passing business to China. Steel is unprofitable due to high energy costs, which are boosted by Milipede's spurious green taxes. No such problems in China.

sbeerbootEdstone Milipede has had a good booting from the Public Accounts Committee.

O-BummerIce cream manufacturers are bunging any old crap into their products, knowing that there will be young nutters who will buy it. Custard flavoured sounds rather harmless. But baked bean? Soy sauce?

markerBetter quality control needed
Holding parents responsible when their kids behave badly @ school is such a no-brainer. Even so, a teaching union is having to urge head teachers to bloody do it. Which doesn't say much for the quality of the people in charge of schools these days.
Just wibble from the inevitable Education Dept. spokes.

Not a word about Labour bankroller Lord Alli recently. Being discreet? Or has he zoomed off to pastures new where he hopes to be more appreciated?

Be AdvisedOxygen, the gas in the atmosphere, gives you life.
O2, the company, doesn't.

markerMass migration grows crime rates
Labour's Xcuse for not revealing the crime rates of migrants is that it's not being done to avoid stoking rachel tensions.
   When you see what's available in the way of statistics, the real reason becomes clear.
   It's to avoid admitting that Bad Guys make up a large proportion of the migrants Labour lets into the country so casually.

1 beerAqueous analogies are the trend for our PM. He is weak as water, he couldn't run a bath, etc.
   No surprise, really, if he's a lawyer who has to be told what his view is on any given ishue @ a particular time.
   And if he has a backroom making up all his stuff, when the wheels come off, it's their fault not his.

markerAnother Labour betrayal on the way
Firms which employ Armed Forces veterans will lose the associated tax break if Thievin Reeves make an even bigger bog of her job and needs to raise more cash.
Something to remember during the 80th anniversary of VE-Day next month. That not all of the enemies are without, there are lotz within.

markerNasty is as nasty does
Lest we forget, Trivial leader E Gravey may pretend to be on the side of Mr. Bates & others done over by the Post Office Horizon scandal.
   But he remains the Post Office Minister who let Horizon happen. And who refused to meet Mr. Bates. And who took £275,000 in legal fees from the Post Office when he was helping to persecute the likes of Mr. Bates.

markerIncompetence Rulz, Nokay
It kind of takes the shine off the virtue flagging when Labour ministers release a version of their tax return for 2023/24 which includes an MP's salary 10 grand less than what they were actually paid.
reader comment“How come they weren't prosecuted for tax fraud? A word in the right ear at the right time?” Trig O'Metric

markerHow does FakeBuk disclaim responsibility for pirating works by Britisch authors? Their story is that it's a gang of pirates operating in Putinstan who do the actual theft, and they pass on their trawlings to Meta's A.I. program.

markerBoth Eyes Shut
If Smarmer ministers start trying to undermine the Supreme Court ruling on what is a woman, the Downing Street Mafia goes straight into denial & claims they're not doing it.

markerMaking a real meal of it
The Catholic Church will have a new Pope in a matter of weeks. Meanwhile, the Church of England, which has been rudderless since ArchyBish Wetby got the boot last November, won't even start the selection process until next month. And it will drag on and on into the autumn.

markerSelf-inflicted damage
Nitrous oxide abusers are giving themselves severe frostbite of the thighs by holding the canisters between their legs when they fill balloons for later inhalation. Mainly women are affected & the wounds take 4 months to heal.

Surprise! Labour MPs have shamed Edstone Milipede into banning goods from China made with materials produced by slave labour. Just how effective the ban will be remains doubtful, given the degree of obfuscation of origin that could be achieved.

markerHome Sec. Pixie Balls has been shamed into releasing league tables of foreign criminals. ‘By the end of the year'. So no great sense of urgency.

markerThe IMF has lowered its guess for economic growth in the UK to 1.1% and dumped the blame where it belongs. On Thievin Reeves rather than Pres. XL.

markerToo busy doing nothing useful?
The government is doing nothing about Hamas supporters spreading their anti-Israel propaganda in schools. The members of the National Education Union are leading the way. But the NASUWT has just made a former fireman its boss; a fat lot he's going to know about education; and he's another of the anti-Israel propagandists.

sbeermarkerNot a record to be proud of
Our wonderful Chancellor has created a new world record. The cost of servicing the mountain of debt she's created reached £4.3 BILLION in March. The highest level for that month since records began.
Her borrowing binge for the tax year 2024/25 of £152 BILLION is the third biggest since 1947 & shows that her fully costed plans are lying in tatters around her ankles.

O-BummerEdstone Milipede's back-tracking on solar stuff with slave labour content was triggered by one of the biggest Labour backbench rebellions ever. Looks like there is some decency @ the back of the party even if they're none at the front.

markerThe government is to blow £50 million our money on a scam to reflect the Sun's rays away from the Earth to stop gorbal warmage. The ideas include deploying vast amounts of aerosols in the atmosphere & adding sea salt particle to clouds.
   This is yet another part of Labour's delusion that the UK can control the global climate.

Something else our wonderful Labour government is failing to do is make a dent in the backlog of driving tests. It's now 50% higher than it was a year ago.
   Another failure is a booking system which lets wise guys use a bot to make block bookings, which they can sell on to desperate punters.

markerIts Digital Marketing Act is proving to be a useful source of revenue for the EFU. Apple & Meta are being done for the equivalent of a total of £600 million for breaking the rules on competition & user choice. Pres. XL will not be pleased!

The Science Secretary is considering an online equivalent of the TV watershed for under-16s due to the impact of anti-social media have on their lives. He is monitoring TikTok's 10 p.m. curfew for children to see how effective it is.

bulletChina has one million Uighur Moslems in its slave-labour re-educations camps.

bootThe government & its legal minions are getting a good booting for handing out compensation to the victims of the Post Office's Horizon scandal at less than a snail's pace. The charges include deliberate over-complication & vexatious fighting of the size of the larger claims.
   Legal action against the government is now being seen as the only way forward for those being messed about by cynical lawyers.

Far Queue symbolDespite universal disapproval, Serbia Smarmer is still looking for a way to let Big Tech use pirated material for free to train its A.I. systems—literary works & music.

rageThe linking of deafness to dementia has succeeded only in dismaying those seeking a hearing test & finding themself @ the tail end of a queue that's up to 2 years long.
   Good intentions, not that good outcome.

President TrumpmarkerSo much for his place in history
Pres. XL's plan for ending the war in Ukraine has been described as worse than the Munich Agreement of 1938, which gave the Sudetenland to Nazi Germany. Which was followed by the grab of the whole of Czechoslovakia 6 months later.
   Trump's deal is a total sell-out of Ukraine, Professor Fawn of St. Andrews University reckons. But his repeated monstrous misrepresentations of the war & attacks on Pres. Zelenskiy are likely to have strengthened Ukraine's resolve.
   Ukraine deserves to have the support of right-minded nations, even if the list no longer includes the USA.

Gulp!The animal rights lobby is campaigning to make greyhound racing illegal in Scotland, which should ensure the virtual Xtinction of the racing dogs.

markerNo surprise! The bod in charge of the Aria sun-blocking climate scam isn't a climate scientist & totally immune to freedom of information requests about what the outfit is doing and what Xactly it's blowing the £50 million Uncle Bier coughed up on.
It's ludicrous that they will be able to create a sun-reflecting layer that won't be blown to bitz by the jetstream.
All the Labour apologists have on offer is wibble & lots of chat about consultations instead of anything useful.

Z markerHome Sec. Pixie Balls is letting an Islamist hate preacher do a tour of the UK. No reason on offer for why he's been allowed to tell his customers that cutting off hands is a great idea, even though it's totally illegal here.

markerJust more betrayal
Bier Smarmer is considering relaxing visa rules to allow youth mobility from the EFU. Attached is a scam which prevents the visitors from showing up in migration statistics & betrays Brexit further.

markerMr. Farage from the garage has screeched into a U-turn. Last September, he declared it literally impossible to deport all visa overstayers.
   Now, he's all revved up to get shot of every illegal in the UK.

markerRegulation betrayal
Ofcom's new online safety rules have been Xposed as being all about boosting the profits of Big Tech @ the Xpense of children's safety.
The Children's Commissioner has administered a severe booting to Ofcom's pathetic scam. The Tech Sec. is also in the firing line for cosying up to Big Tech in USA as part of Bier Smarmer's plan to sell out UK copyrightholders rights

MilibanditmarkerMore insanity sanctioned by Smarmer
Edstone Milipede's plan to turn energy pricing into a postcode lottery is still getting a vigorous booting from all sides. He is also under fire for letting sham ‘green' companies like Drax mark their own homework to conceal the lack of value for money & green credentials on offer to the taxpayer.

bulletMilipede is trying to deny that energy price tiers was ever anything to do with him. But making his usual bog of being convincing.

markerNot so bloody petty
Retailers lose £2.2 BILLION per year to the (gangs) of thieves who strole in, grab and just stroll out again. The police claim this is petty crime, even when a vanload of stuff is grabbed, & use that as an Xcuse to ignore it in favour of logging imaginary non-crimes.
   What is the Home Sec. doing about this? As much as she's doing about stopping the small boats & smashing the gangs, i.e. bugger all.

rasp markerMore dumbing in the direction of down
Cambridge University will stop posting exam results when the customers can see them & stop telling the customers their position in the rankings.
   This is to stop the bright ones from overworking and to avoid damaging the mental ‘elf of the duffers.
   It's the outcome of the dumbling down of Xams, which began under John Major & tony b. liar. Everyone gets a sweetie, even if they don't deserve it.

markerNot such a daft idea after all, Bier
Pres. XL is dumping undesirables in Rwanda. It's the ideal place to send the likes of Iraqi terrorists whom the bleeding hearts insist can't be returned to their country of origin.

Kerklunk
Thievin Reeves goes to the US to get a trade deal on the cards; only to start telling people that Smarmer's Army is more interested in a deal with the EFU to allow Labour to betray Brexit even more.

markerExtinction reversal, sort of
A company in the US is planning to create a leather substitute with the texture of T-Rex skin using genetic material from the dinosaur. The fabric will be used by the fashion trade to create luxury goods for people who want to pretend they're being environmentally responsible by buying the synthetic material at a fancy price.

President TrumpO-BummerPres. XL is doing a Milipede-style ‘not me, Guv' by claiming he was only joking when he said he could end the war in Ukraine in a day.
The conclusion from Pres. XL's first 100 daze in office? America is being run by banana Republicans.
   More a political millstone than a milestone

ice fishingBelow the line mission statement: Some of this is true, maybe, but probably not the parts that seem most real and most likely as we use current standards of elasticity where facts are concerned.
   We are constantly exposed to dodgy conclusions drawn from dodgy data by jumped-up 'experts', especially the ones found in the world of politics and particularly those at the Treasury and running trade unions.
   Some of us civilians at BFN like to join in to let them know that anyone can do it and we ain't impressed by their efforts.
