Beware the words yon animal utters …
And just like that it’s ‘back to normal’. The riots in France have vanished from sight as far as our MSM are concerned. We’re back to ‘NHS News’, and to Cricket: apparently there was some cheating at the Ashes match – although you wouldn’t know if you just scanned the headline for Auntie Beeb’s compilation: “Newspaper headlines: Banks free speech warning and ‘strikes until 2025’” (link).
I found it rather ominous that our Westminster MSM seem to have generally disregarded the cancelling of Nigel Farage’s bank accounts. Interestingly, The Times hasn’t picked up on the news that the Treasury is going to wade in and that Mr Hunt is ‘deeply concerned’. The DT ran with this yesterday evening. Perhaps The Times’ ‘sources’ weren’t informed in time? The DM copied from the DT, hiding their report underneath a lot of usual guff (link). As for me – having read the ‘news’, I am also deeply concerned and shall tell you why. Firstly, see this (all emphases are mine):
“Banks are to be told by the Treasury that they must protect free speech amid an escalating row over the blacklisting of customers who hold controversial views. Jeremy Hunt, the Chancellor, is understood to be “deeply concerned” that overzealous lenders are closing down accounts because they disagree with customers’ opinions and has asked City minister Andrew Griffith to investigate the issue.” (paywalled link)
Yay – another ‘investigation’! Facts reported by those whose accounts have been cancelled clearly cannot be trusted. Next:
“Whitehall sources said that results of a consultation on the subject will be published within weeks, after it was launched earlier this year in the wake of PayPal blocking the accounts of free speech groups. The Treasury is poised to recommend a more rigid notice period if payment providers, including high street lenders, want to close a customer’s account as well as requiring banks to provide more information about why they have decided to shut accounts. Regulators will be able to take action against banks that break the rules.” (paywalled link)
There it is: just ‘regulate’ the ‘notice period’ and make banks tell their ‘reasons’ to their cancelled customers and all will be well! The blue-eyed ‘concern’ expressed by both Mr Hunt and Treasury ‘officials’ is neither here nor there because anyone who hasn’t been born yesterday surely knows that banks will still be able to cancel accounts, only this time they’ll ‘follow guidance’ more strictly.
The fact that Mr Farage’s accounts were cancelled and that all other banks were blacklisting him because a certain Labour MP, abusing his privilege, has accused him in the HoC of having been paid by Russia – no, that’s not being mentioned. However, there was this little snippet of info which caught my eye:
“Some of the UK’s biggest lenders, including Barclays and HSBC, are ranked highly in a Workplace Equality Index run by LGBT+ charity Stonewall, which aims to “measure and improve their inclusion practice”. HSBC is ranked 12th and Barclays 32nd, having moved up five places after a “recalculation”. The charity’s Diversity Champions scheme includes guidance to employers on gender-neutral spaces and the use of pronouns. […] Stonewall said that there were no requirements in its scheme for how companies engage with customers and it did “not seek to influence operational decisions”.” (paywalled link)
Do I detect a strong whiff of Pontius Pilate’s hand-washing here? And what about the BoE which, according to The Times, declared that “People of any gender can be pregnant, Bank of England states – Central bank also offers to help staff to pay for gender reassignment treatment using private medical insurance” (link, paywalled)? Yes, they’ve also been ‘Stonewalled’. Moreover, Toby Young, founder of the Free Speech Union and of the Daily Sceptic, told the DT that:
“[…] he believed thousands of people have had their accounts closed: “Indeed, the Free Speech Union has been lobbying the Treasury to change the payment services regulations for the last nine months and submitted reams of evidence about the scale of the problem. Since then, it has only got worse. The Treasury urgently needs to change the regulations to prohibit this new and sinister form of cancel culture.” (paywalled link)
Nine months … words fail me! The pious statements by ‘government’ and Treasury ‘officials’ simply are word decorations because they are only concerned with ‘regualtions’ which must be adhered to:
“Government sources stressed that even people with extreme views should be entitled to hold a bank account if they have not broken the law. The Treasury source added: “Banks and payment providers occupy a privileged place in society and it would be a concern if financial services were being denied to those exercising the right to lawful free speech.” (paywalled link)
Note the weasel words: ‘exercising the right to lawful free speech’! Who decides what is ‘lawful’? Stonewall? MPs, abusing their privilege, defaming someone in the HoC who has no recourse in law to demand a retraction? Would criticising government \measure’s like lockdowns be deemed ‘unlawful’? It’s nice though that Mr Hint and the Treasury are ‘concerned’!
I leave you with the one report about the French riots I found. It’s in the DM (link). However, I highly recommend watching this video which Paul Joseph Watson published yesterday evening. This issue won’t go away and I’ll get back to it in the next few days.
That’s all I have for today. Beware weasel words, especially when coming from ‘concerned’ government officials! Have a good day.
Judging by their actions, our politicians are singing from ta different song sheet from the rest of us… Some facts are incontrovertible.
1. There are too many people
2 too many people are ignorant.
3.Power, even only over a single person, ( one-self ?) is an aphrodisiac
4 wealth is a contraceptive, but a lure..
5 The evidence of global warming is not conclusive, therefore has become another foolish religion.
6. Illiterate scientists provide a wide range :-” Disposible “, panjandrums are believed to order, Treat not cure.
8. Conclusions.
A. Educate.
B Improve housekeeping,:– excess plastics and metals poisons
C Educate out of damaging ideas ( Memory foam, disposable etc ), and promote good ideas. ( Education, cults and nutters by education
Last. The existing lot are totally confused.

Re French riots: I just heard that a cowardly night- time arson-murder attempt was made by rioters on the family (wife and 2 young children) of a “Right wing” mayor, Mayor Jeanbrun of a Paris suburb, While the mayor was out and about attending to the devastation , rioters drove an incendiary vehicle on his house while his family slept.
The wife just about escaped with her children.
This was reported in TheBlaze newsletter, which I had been unfamiliar with, which a contact sent me.
Crowd fund for the policeman is now €1,002,380.
mary:
Government is simply following the policies of the UN and its other globalist masters for a 75% reduction in world population. Needless to say they will not volunteer themselves for execution.
That video made by Paul Joseph Watson hit the nail on the head. As for that lying politician, yes I know there’s more than one, needs a dose of his own medicine. I’m sure someone can dig up something (not just the dating app picture). Don’t look while having a meal.
From Flyers’ comment I think men only want to become women to avoid conscription. God help us indeed.
Flyer. Someone said the other day they’re aiming at getting rid of 8 billion of us by 2030. using the 3 things : the Mass Invasion, Net Zero plus poison jabs, and Financial catastrophe. When the Financial catastrophe occurs, imagine what it will be like then. As you warned all along
All I can say is God help us.
mary – did you know that the only reason that the banking collapse has stopped for a while is because the US Fed is bailing them out secretly, behind the scenes, to the tune of over one hundred billion dollars a week. No money for the homeless and others in distress but always plenty to enrich the bankers even further; this is the wealth extraction society that we live in here in the west.
This bubble is starting to pop, there’s a way to go yet, they always for now manage to kick the can down the road a bit further but not forever. When the bankers own everything and retire to their private islands and mega yachts, the resulting financial meltdown will kill god knows how many millions; it already is doing so in the third world.
In the third and developing world, their resources are going to replace shortfalls in the west, the people there are already suffering immeasurably and this is just the beginning.
Flyer: Yes, doubtless the elite criminal Powers- that Be- are keeping total financial meltdown at bay until they’re ready to go with CBDC etc. and fully under their control.
The trained military among the invaders will direct and stir up the rest, dissatisfied youths in their teens and twenties with a sense of entitlement. and a history of drug taking as well no doubt.
Would you leave your front door open day and night with a welcome mat outside saying, “Everyone welcome, come on in, make yourself at home and take whatever you want.”? No? Neither would I, but that’s exactly what is happening to this country. The ruling establishment are infected by systemic, institutionalised Wokeism and treat the us with utter contempt. They will learn nothing from the events in France.
That Stonewall had infiltrated the Bank of England also caught my eye. It’s fortunes have stalled recently after being kicked out of the civil service and losing ground in the private sector, but my first thought was of it coming back with a vengeance once Starmer is in power. I look forward to the Bank of England’s reports mentioning how many of its staff transition under its private medical insurance.
SY … Who was it that bailed out the Banks and saved them from going bust? Let me think … was it Stonewall? No, it was the taxpayers … their customers. Now the Banks are appeasing Stonewall, heeding their advice, paying them for staff Wokery training and cancelling customers for wrong think. When they go Woke they will inevitably go broke, again. Will Stonewall foot the bill to save them?
Farage’s Accounts:
I cannot believe that government were not involved in this; Crooks too many of them.
As much it is a problem for Nigel Farage to have his bank account(s) closed, and as much as I was once a great supporter of Nigel Farage when he led UKIP to its numerous victories of the past, that is it what is. In the past, and in political terms a long time ago now. Besides which he is no longer a politician as such and just another radio presenter, and a radio presenter on a channel which lets face it doesn’t have that many viewers or listeners. And people who do not listen to GB News in all probability do not view his You Tube Channel or indeed look up his Facebook site either. Many stalwart Kippers of the past who held party officer positions in the party have lost faith with Farage as indeed I have, with his constant shall I shan’t I approach to returning to the political front line. He marched us half way up a hill and the marched us down again and a lot of former supporters of his cannot be bothered with him any longer. But wait a minute, he did say he would assist where he could and take on an honorary role, and that should be enough right? Well, no its not especially in the present political climate in which we now live. We are looking for leadership from a political perspective and he was best placed person to provide this, but it seems a far better prospect to shout from the sidelines from behind a microphone in the warmth and safety of a tv/radio studio. So, I am not surprised in the least that those in the mainstream media have not reported his alleged bank account problems. Farage is now yesterday’s man in political terms, and that is his choice.
Sadly, and regretfully I have to agree with you. Let’s see what he say’s after his two week sabbatical from GB News.
Jake…….two weeks, is that how long he is away. I say two weeks but everyone is entitled to a holiday, and it is summer after all. However, I’ve never much liked Patrick Christys his replacement, but this evening he was quite refreshing to be honest, and he didn’t pull any punches in what he said about the subjects he covered. In many ways he was more forthright than Farage.
Jake…..initially I was pleased to learn that the UK Independence Party was contesting two forthcoming by elections, one at Frome in Somerset the candidate of which is Peter Richardson, a retired RAF Squadron Leader who is quite impressive and seems to be pro-active in his campaigning. The second is at Uxbridge and South Ruislip (Boris Johnson’s former seat) the candidate of which is Rebecca Jane, the party deputy leader. I answered a call by the party to assist in the campaign which I responded but so far she doesn’t seem to have done any campaigning at all, well none that has been announced anyway. And here we are approaching the fourth day of July and the by election is on the 20th July 2023 which is sixteen days away. To stand any chance whatsoever a candidate would have had to start the campaigning long before now, so are we to assume that she isn’t that serious about it. I have to say I wasn’t too impressed with what I saw when she was interviewed on some chaps You Tube channel. He had to aske her several times what she would do about the immigration situation to which she gave vague answers. She gave me the impression that she didn’t really know her brief which is worrying considering her position.
The deputy leader of UKIP is clearly being parachuted into Uxbridge and so presumably there is no functioning constituency UKIP branch which may account for any lack of preparedness. Also we should remember that she too has to earn a living and what employer would allow her time off to campaign for UKIP? I can’t see how UKIP can afford to pay a leader a decent wage never mind deputy leader. Were it not for the very lucrative MEP income Farage would probably have left the party years ago. It will be down to us to give as much support as we can in order to encourage those who put themselves forward for election at their own expense. Well done Colin for offering help. I will give some help with the Ainsby and Selby by election as well as donate some money.
The French riots have spread to Belgium and Switzerland and even worse some of the rioters have gotten their hands on automatic weapons, assault rifles etc. It has been discovered apparently that these weapons are weapons that were meant to have been sent to Ukraine; now there’s a big can of worms that needs looking into but I doubt if it will be.
As the French military have said this is war. I think that soon we’ll discover why tens of thousands of military men have been allowed to enter Britain in rubber boats and millions more by other means: they are an army.
The first article that I ever wrote for Independence Daily, then UKIP Daily back in 2015 was called: ‘The Zombie Apocalypse.’ Well now here we are, the culmination of decades of political betrayal and governments that have neglected their first duty to protect our borders; treason in other words.
Like it or not, face up to it or not, it is war and we’re going to have a fight on our hands just when so many of Britain’s so called men are walking around in women’s clothes and wearing makeup. God help us!
Jake……….you do have a point or two there. She is indeed a young woman and must surely be at work, but I think she said in this interview referred to that she was self employed, so that would offer a degree of flexibility. However, there is no point putting out a request for help and not following it up, and there is no earthly point putting one self up for election if you are not going to put some work in, even if it is just at the weekends. And of course there is no point putting yourself up for election to stand in a particular area if you don’t live anywhere near it. Standing on a street corner with a few leaflets in one’s hand will not suffice in the circumstances, and having people walk past you without batting an eyelid is not good enough. At the very least if a party can’t do too much because of lack of numbers etc, it should attempt to get a handful of members or supporters to meet up and push as many leaflets through residential addresses letter boxes as possible, whilst wearing a hi-vis jacket with prominent party insignia displayed to the back and front, as rosettes have had their day. Being seen out and about does get a party noticed, and that that is 25 % of the battle won, and whilst pushing those leaflets through you can engage the voters in conversation and get a feel as to how unhappy they are with politics and politicians. I don’t live in the London area myself but would have been prepared to put in at least seven full days of wearing out shoe leather for the cause. Well, that’s my take on it anyway for what its worth.
Yes, I will go along with that Colin. A good local candidate with a few committed activists is far better than someone parachuted in. Maybe UKIP didn’t have an alternative candidate. There I go again – I’m making excuses!
