Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
Just received a letter from the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy asking me to act a sounding board aligning Government strategy (they have a strategy?) for future policy by joining a panel of representative businesses ref. post-transition and Covid. I shall definitely answer in the affirmative.

Anyone know where you can find statistics that show how many children in England genuinely need their lunch provided by others instead of their parents?
Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
I think the actual issue is that HMG have frittered away £12Billion providing Mrs Penrose with a wardrobe? Sadly Angela Rayner was probably spot on but chose the wrong place to say it.
I prefer the Skinner's 'ticking off':
"Half the MPs opposite are crooks!"
Speaker:
"Tisk Tisk, Dennis"
Dennis:
"OK - half the MPs opposite are not crooks"
Classic.

Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
I make no apology for the profanities in my post:
Just what the feckn hell is going on in this feckn country? After all the self-flagellation and submission to the likes of BLM, Bame, XR and all the minority interest pressure groups who are about as welcome as a dripping arse, we now have a bunch of blimps trying to jump on the bloody band wagon with more PC, woke, right-on crap.
It's behind a paywall which The Telegraph can shove up its rectum.
Even the Unknown Warrior is racist
How the feck do the National Army Museum know the ethnicity of the Unknown Warrior? Are they so thick and blinkered that they don't they understand the meaning of the word "Unknown"?
The National Trust has also embarked on a mission to "re-educate the population" about the country's (in their view) appalling record on slavery instead of keeping to its remit of looking after our historic buildings and countryside.
It truly boils my piss the way this country is being made to be ashamed of its history by people who are not fit to lick the ***** off my shoes.
....and breathe.

So your options are:
1. Put up with it.
2. Try to change it.
3. Fugg off somewhere more sensible.
I've gone for 3, but most of my chums are following option 1. Not really an option for me if I intend to live with myself, which I do.
2. is futile, but the actual numbers of these woke wankers is actually much less than you'd think, given the noise they make.

Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
That idiotic Torygraph story is utter shite!
It's absurd to suggest that being a British serviceman and being black are somehow mutually exclusive.
Such a suggestion would have been as absurd a hundred years ago, or two hundred years ago, as it is today. Take a look at the frieze at the base of Nelson's column.
That black serviceman was as British as any of his shipmates.
Anyway, they dug up half a dozen thoroughly rotted corpses which had been buried for up to five years in the biologically active soil of Northern Europe. They were quite probably heavily mutilated which can explain why they were not recognisable enough to be identified at the time of being found after death. Even the most ardent racist would have had a problem in trying to sort out negro from caucasian when the remains are in that condition.
The story is clearly gobshite which is intended to stir up a certain type of reaction from a certain type of person.
In a post which I made here some time ago I described the circumstances in which my own grandfather help to disinterr and to rebury the mortal remains of his best friend, circa 1921. GF was only able to identify his buddy by the very characteristic bullet holes through his buddy's clavicle and forehead, despite having known that guy since childhood.

Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
There is a 'maritime situation' involving a Liberian registered tanker from Lagos now anchored south of the Nab anchorage south east of the Isle of Wight. Said to involve 'stowaways'. Coastguard helis and boats in attendance.
Media reports:
The BBC ask "What will be their immigration status?"
The Guardian say "How can we support these traumatised stowaways when they disembark?"
The British People say "Shoot the bastards!" "

What's wrong with inviting them to swim ashore? Much cheaper.

From the Torygraph this evening:
Special forces last night ended a ten-hour standoff in the Channel after a group of violent Nigerian "hijackers" threatened to kill the crew of an oil tanker bound for the UK.
Troops from the Special Boat Service stormed the Nave Andromeda under cover of darkness and in a nine minute raid detained seven suspected migrants after they forced the giant vessel to drop anchor five miles off the Isle of Wight.
…
"Armed forces have gained control of the ship and seven individuals have been detained. Police investigations will now continue. Initial reports confirm the crew are safe and well. "
…
Flashing torches could be seen from the mainland as around 16 special forces troops boarded the vessel at around 1930, with two Royal Navy wildcat helicopters and two Navy Merlin Mark 4 helicopters joining the operation.
Seven men were detained and brought back to the mainland for questioning after they were met by “overwhelming force”. The crew were all found safe inside the ships’ stronghold.
Ops Normalers heard it here first!
