The Moggster? Bent as a nine Bob note, it seems.
“The top hat, the tailcoat, the waistcoat, the striped trousers, the white tie, the six elaborately named children (one of them Alfred Wulfric Leyson Pius), the drawl, the languor: matched with a grandad who drove a lorry, such a creation becomes a pitiable mountebank, Alfred Doolittle dressed for a wedding, rather than the courtly eccentric, the “honourable member for the 18th century”, which is how Rees-Mogg likes to present himself.”
What a pretentious, sneering article written by an envious, porcine hog

“Pretentious, sneering” is more appropriate to Mogg than the article.

A little research shows the Moggster owns two Bentleys – a 1936 model in which he drives around 1,000 miles a year, and a 1968 Bentley T1 he claims can run on the motorway.
It’s one of them I vouchsafe.
I rather like the Moggster – always courteous to everyone even those issuing spittle-flecked abuse towards him.
I often think some of the more unpleasant jackanapes and picaroons on here could do with some of his manners.
Speaking of which I do miss Papi. I always forgave him his oafish outbursts. The poor chap just can’t help his maladorous behaviour. Poor upbringing and all that.

#despitebrexitupdate
London is still the top overall destination for financial services worldwide – including as the leading foreign exchange trading centre – according to a new report by the City of London Corporation.
London beats other cities to the crown – including New York, Singapore, and Paris – thanks to an “unmatched international financial reach” across 95 metrics.
The City was once again found to be Europe’s top destination for financial services investment, and was given an overall competitiveness score of 61, with New York 3 points behind at 58 and Singapore on 53. Paris, meanwhile, scored just 41…
Once again proving London is still a global leader in finance and commerce, despite repeated warnings that all this would come crashing down after Brexit.
Two years on, and that supposed brexodus of talent is yet to materialise…
Marvellous.
GiggidyGoo
Sure Have Inferiority Troubles there Charger. Copying and pasting from the Torygraph. You omitted to copy and paste this from the same article
“ It found that London trailed Singapore, Hong Kong and Japan in terms of the skill level of its workforce and said that the end of free movement post-Brexit “damaged perceptions of the UK as an attractive business environment for international talent”.
“Despite the positive findings for the City, London has lost out to rival hubs in recent years in terms of attracting companies to float on its stock market, while it has also lost significant volumes of share trading activity. ”
And the actual report was written by the City Of London Corporation. Naw – no skin in the game. ROFL.!

Funny dat … long nightshift in the Portakabin ?
” A majority of global finance firms plan to establish or extend their operations in the UK this year, in a post-Brexit boost for the City.
Nearly 90pc of major financial services firms said they will either seek to set up shop in Britain or boost their current operations, according to a report by EY.
The survey found that investor confidence in the UK financial services sector was at an all-time high, having risen significantly in recent months as pandemic restrictions recede and Brexit fears fail to materialise.
” Before the 2016 referendum, finance chiefs warned that as many as 232,000 jobs in the City would be lost. However, a mass exodus of finance jobs out of London has failed to materialise.
” The EY report also found that sentiment around planned investment into UK financial services has risen significantly in recent months as Britain becomes one of the first countries in Europe to relax pandemic restrictions. ”

– At weekends, there’s very little loading of vehicles, so weekends will be quiet. And a saturday morning won’t have much movement of freight.

I’m still ROFL about the idea that Britain’s logistics and trucking companies all load up during daytime hours only to hit the same early evening ferries out of Dover causing massive Brexit-related queues which never seem to feature on the TV news.
Between them P&O and DFDS run up to 50 crossings a day from Dover – with on average a ship departing every 30 minutes 24/7/365.
I kind reckon anyone worth their salt in the haulage business would know this.
The port handles 2.6 million lorries a year.The nearby channel Tunnel fed by the same motorway network another 1.6 million.
Every so often there’s hold-ups. Bad weather.Roadworks.
Ferries out of service for annual maintenance.
But hey, what do I know ?
* knowing wink *
GiggidyGoo
Ah but there you are. Showing your ignorance if a business you know nothing about. Not every load goes accompanied. Much of the ferry business handles unaccompanied trailers. Those are dropped at the port throughout the day. Spread over a long period of time. They are not urgent transports and the ferry companies ship them as space allows. That is usually on not busy sailings, during the day. The accompanied trailers are the ones taking goods for urgent delivery – next day delivery and 2 day delivery. And that’s where your 8km queues come from late afternoon/evening because of the inability of the UK government to get it’s act together. Driver accompanied trailers are the ones with the paperwork problems.
Hope you’re taking notes. You should do, as you’re making a right Cressida of yourself every time you post on the subject.
ROFL STRIKE!

Mad
Charger you wouldn’t really learn much about logistics from counting trucks going by a gate or delivering strawberries and spuds out at roadsides
GiggidyGoo
Ah Mr Mad writes another sentence. ROFL!
There’s more information in a barcode.
” The Port of Dover told us that increased customs checks were “not the sole reason for queues”.
It pointed to other factors including the volume of freight, work going on in the port and a number of ferries being out of action.
Three ships were out for refitting last week, which is a quarter of the fleet. One of these will be returning this weekend, according to port authorities.
A government spokesperson said: “It is untrue to suggest that that short term delays to freight movements at Dover last week were caused by new customs processes. The primary cause was ship-refitting, which reduces capacity across the short straits, and higher than expected freight volumes.
“The Goods Vehicle Movement System and other customs systems are online and working as planned. Indications since 1 January are that traders and hauliers are adapting very well to the new processes. ”
The BBC report, although it says 23 hrs. old, is actually repeating its reporting from 19th January. And you hardly think that HMRC or Dover Port are going to accept that they’re at fault?
Did you even read the BBC report?
The ITV report is from just 2 days ago, a day when you (as you’ve done today) have shown your complete ignorance of anything to do with transport/logistics.

“building on vaccine passports technology, every EU citizen and resident in the Union will be able to use a personal digital identity wallet’ says Von Der Leyen
____
I read this article recently, and thought it was a decent explanation of what’s unfolding: https://alyalexandra.substack.com/p/the-metaverse-digital-twins-and-global
The digital ID wallet is designed to be the holding place for every bit of online data you generate. This data is to be used to generate your “digital twin” that will reside in the “Metaverse” – a comprehensive digital simulation of the real world that’s to be monitored by AI technology. The simulation will dictate real-world policies.
I thought it was all a bit fantastical the first time reading about it, but have eventually come to the grim conclusion that it is in fact a very real technocratic system of global governance that global policymakers are actively trying to impose upon the wider world.
At the same time, the digital twins function as tradeable commodities (‘human capital data markets’ ) for the billionaire elite class who are provided with a new mechanism to circulate their vast wealth and extract even more (via so called “social impact investing” – a system predicated on human suffering) .
The digital wallet is being spun as “you, the individual will be in control of your own data” and you’ll “be “safer” but take away the window dressing and you’re left with an entry point to an exploitative ,totalitarian tech-dystopia.
As the article above says, the first step to mounting a resistance is to have some grasp of what we’re up against and not sleep-walking our way into it.

This blew my mind. Delingpole’s a toff, he went to uni with Boris and worked with him at The Spectator etc. He’s not someone I’d ever see eye to eye with, but recently he’s become a fellow traveller. His interviewee is a former UK intelligence agent, an extremely bright lad.

This is a short piece with Jennifer Arcuri, (Boris’ sidepiece) worth a watch, only ten minutes long.

I just listened to that, putting my own beliefs aside (or lack thereof) I found it pretty interesting. The fact that some people do believe particularly the dark stuff and form their lives around it is more than disturbing.
Even with a materialist reading, the world makes more sense when you realize that those in positions of influence, are heavily compromised.
The active selection of people that will act against their conscience for lesser roles, is also disturbing.
I very much doubt the current paradigm can be turned around, but there’s decent people more than capable of administering things if we hopefully, happen to exit it.

good points Chris
I’m still amused by the idea that anyone who goes to Oxford University is a toff.
But then people in Ireland never did understand the class system in Blighty.
His father owned a factory, eeh bah gum.
Delingpole is a not very successful jobbing hack.
Middle-class would be more appropriate.
What’s amusing is that the assumption was made that because he’s a toff who worked with Johnson etc that this conferred some kind of sage-like status on the lad.
You’re an embarrassing eejit Chris but fair play for standing up to be clearly counted as one
Your inference is nonsense. I was merely setting the tone for those unaware of who he is. He admits himself his previous world view was one of abject ignorance, one that is still sadly shared by many that are too lazy or cowardly to question.
That’s the sort of stuff Giggidy does be checking for on the toilet seat

EU want to go ahead with a new Digital ID system

“building on vaccine passports technology, every EU citizen and resident in the Union will be able to use a personal digital identity wallet’ says Von Der Leyen
____
I read this article recently, and thought it was a decent explanation of what’s unfolding:
https://alyalexandra.substack.com/p/the-metaverse-digital-twins-and-global
The digital ID wallet is designed to be the holding place for every bit of online data you generate. This data is to be used to generate your “digital twin” that will reside in the “Metaverse” – a comprehensive digital simulation of the real world that’s to be monitored by AI technology. The simulation will dictate real-world policies.
I thought it was all a bit fantastical the first time reading about it, but have eventually come to the grim conclusion that it is in fact a very real technocratic system of global governance that global policymakers are actively trying to impose upon the wider world.
At the same time, the digital twins function as tradeable commodities (‘human capital data markets’ ) for the billionaire elite class who are provided with a new mechanism to circulate their vast wealth and extract even more (via so called “social impact investing” – a system predicated on human suffering) .
The digital wallet is being spun as “you, the individual will be in control of your own data” and you’ll “be “safer” but take away the window dressing and you’re left with an entry point to an exploitative ,totalitarian tech-dystopia.
As the article above says, the first step to mounting a resistance is to have some grasp of what we’re up against and not sleep-walking our way into it.
As if that’s not here already?
You are increasingly going through the motions with this and really need to find another hobby.

Well, you go with your feelings then…
Must admit- despite the weather, Canada is becoming a much more attractive place to visit these days. In Trudeau’s recent speech he used words which I suspect he will regret. He called the truckers ‘a small fringe group’ and that their views were “unacceptable”.
These have now been turned into trucker slogans. That he feels he has the right to decide what views people hold as unacceptable is a pretty good indication of what type of person he is- like a bit like a few on this site.
Anyways- here is a video of Trucker supporting far right racist Nazi err.. Sikhs- they’re the worst.

The cheek him having only won three federal elections back to back,serving as Canadian PM since Nov 2015,
He’s still a complete and total cockwomble.
I posted this on the ‘Plough On’ thread last night but is seems to have disappeared.
On Thursday, the Canadian Truckers put out an appeal to small businesses to open up. Small Businesses responded with a statement.
Small businesses will no longer complying with mandates as of Saturday, January 29 in solidarity with #FreedomConvoyCanada #weareallessential

Joni Mitchell is storming off in a huff too apparently. Can they actually do that or is the final say not up to the publisher/record company? In other words- global corporations. It would certainly be in agreement with them.
Oh- Neil Young sold 50% of his catalogue last year – and there’s more.
https://www.tiktok.com/@liam.out.loud/video/7058620684993432837
Joni Mitchell sold her catalogue to an indie company called Reservoir Media last year. I posted a link in response to your comment earlier but it hasn’t appeared. The article is from Variety.
Apple Music and Amazon are now promoting NY and JM apparently, in a clear dig at Spotify. Also, according to Variety, Spotify lost more than $2bn in market value over this move.
I’d like to attach the links I mentioned but I’d rather not have my comment needlessly deleted. Bodger, can you see if I’ve done something to irritate the gremlins you have working over the weekend.
Gremlins?
It’s actually a herd of giant Maine coon cats
Re: Neil Young
Blackstone and Hipgnosis team up with $1bn music investment
Blackstone has taken a big step into the world of music rights as valuations boom, announcing a tie-up with Hipgnosis Song Management, the company run by music mogul Merck Mercuriadis.
“The private equity group will put $1bn into a new fund run by HSM that will buy music rights, catalogues and royalties.
It will also take a stake in the music publishing company itself, which separately runs the London-listed Hipgnosis Songs Fund and has been on a fast-paced buying spree, snapping up songs by artists such as Blondie and Neil Young”

A bit more info on that Blackstone outfit. Are they active in Ireland I wonder?

I was thinking about you Charger. You are a quiet exceptional wind-up merchant, and you do it using characters. That’s comedy really. A little like an early Everage/Sir Les, before he became more tongue in cheek with his BBC chat show. Would you consider giving it a go. Tic Tok would be a great place to start and you test run your different creations. I think you could have a future doing it you know, and, you’d have a ball of fun..

You honestly think that those hard working people complete with their trucks are going to wreck their livelihoods by pulling a stunt like that?
Although there is a lot of talk of your pantifia friends attempting to infiltrate. Fortunately none of them have decent wheels, so should be easier to spot.
It’s a typical racist, Trumper defence to blame antifa for the violent acts noose loving fascists.
