And now Polanski has been found out not paying his Council Tax.

He is a f-ing weirdo

Another one who lies about previous employment too

It beggers belief, and this goes across politicians from all parties. They know full well that they have to be whiter than white and that they have to be absolutely thorough regarding their financial affairs, yet we continue to get these issues.

That’s the third fib in as many weeks.

He’s telling them at a Farage-esque rate.

Labour party - internal squabbling, new leader fight about to be triggered after only 2 years with a monster majority to get shit done.

Greens - leader being investigated for unpaid tax.

Reform - leader being investigated for £5m 'personal gift'.  Members being kicked out for being racist.

Lib Dems - leader is a complete loon.

It beggars belief that from all the political parties, Badenoch is currently the most sensible of the lot.

Whilst this is all true, you have missed a bit out

Which is fair enough, but they aren't mutually exclusive.

What a sorry state our politics is in!

Today's the day for protests in London - you can tell the weather is warming up, don't remember many of these in the winter!!

One in support of Palestine, one anti Islam one.

4,000 police officers being deployed to keep them apart and over a £million being spent to do so.

Let's hope they are largely peaceful - or they make enough arrests to cover the policing costs with fines

Remember the bench mark for largely peaceful is less than half the people getting arrested than are there. 
 

The warmer weather means the Woke league is in full swing again, Palestine quick out of the blocks this spring looking forward to a good summer of supporting every cause I’m told to

Police caught the two National Front responsible for the hit and run in Stirchley trying to join today’s parade of thugs (sane applies to the Palestinian March as well) https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx217901n00o

Policing both of todays ludicrous and unnecessary rallies costing £4.5m https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3d2ryyz0jzo

The Unite the Flag/NF one saying white working class people are discriminated against. If they weren’t intent on being violent and listening to racists speaking, how many white, working class people would receive life-saving operations with £4.5m?

A: rather a lot.

I thought the same with regards to the cost, but with a budget of £3.9billion per year, the met police cost is over £10million per day, so a significant amount of that money would be spent anyway...
