BBC guy 2 years back 'In Pakistan, I said to the village head man, hey your villagers can't read, ... he replied he didn't want that, ...he wanted to keep them as a cheap compliant labour force'

George Soros again. His profiteering and donations have really helped the EU lose support

"Damian Collins’ committee appointed former Labour Councillor and 89up CEO Mike Harris to carry out the analysis. Harris has previously called the backer of Best for Britain, George Soros “the largest single donor in human history for the defence and strengthening of democracy.” Soros also funds the campaign to overturn the biggest vote in UK history, and Best for Britain has itself received multiple fines from the Electoral Commission"
Why George Soros again?

Somebody from Labour has started to understand basic economics. She'll get deselected
https://order-order.com/2019/02/18/faiza-shaheen-caught-saying-sadiqs-emission-tax-unfair-will-hit-poorest-hardest/#disqus_thread
"Labour’s rising media star Faiza Shaheen has been recorded at an event calling Sadiq Khan’s new pollution tax “unfair” and warning that it will hit working class traders and families hardest"
She may achieve real fame, by being quoted with praise, by Trump.

It does sound like a breakfast cereal, but if it could power the UK for an hour a day, it should keep everything reliably regular.

"I'd like to see the return of community payback sentences at magistrates court where oiks are tasked with cleaning up especially the little shits with spray cans.

Forget the spray can wielding scum. A good message would be sent out by jailing the Green Scammers that set up recycling centres, that then catch fire, burn for months, pollute the air, ground water and land. Somehow, the scammers recycle their earnings into jet fuel and their foreign property

about time Drax started sprinkling shredded plastic on their wood chips isn't it?

" .. but to claim that the countryside and ocean is almost buried under litter is 97% bonkers.

It is 100% pure green crap. Recycled plastic has simply been loaded into otherwise empty shipping containers for their return to the Far East. China is now reducing its cooperation with the scam. All UK households can relax having carefully cleaned and correctly recycled their empty plastic bottles. They may reappear in BBC footage of polluted water in Thailand

Pakistani village head man? try the entire upper classes - with a few exceptions I'd bet that illiteracy overall hasn't sunk below 90 ish per cent outside towns and that funds notionally earmarked for schools and teacher salaries still evaporate. As a rule the upper classes don't pay tax - one of the few ways to better oneself is the armed services who offer nice well paid mercenary services to KSA etcetera. - pandering to Chinese expansionism and cash is now fashionable. I'd bet that much of Afghanistan's poppy crop still finds its way to the outside world through Pakistan, with the connivance of officials and politicians.
In 1947 the minor (and many not so minor) local officials stepped into The Raj's boots and took over the British colonial system and changed very little of its structure. Lahore still has Aitchison College etc. etc. Most of the pols and dignitaries we send there are carefully cocooned from the reality and many seem to think it's all croquet and Pimms.
They still have train robbers.
I spent a couple of years regularly in and out of there - you might not be surprised that I wasn't impressed.
'kinell - the BBC have evaded the head choppers and infidel burners to get the astounding scoop of an interview with the dumb bint.
