Thank Lockdowns for the Worst Budget in History Sat Nov 22, 2025 13:00 | Will Jones
We're a week away from the most painful Budget in history thanks largely to the eye-watering cost of lockdown. Yet Baroness Hallett says next time the Government must be ready to go harder and faster. This is insanity.

Taxpayers Are Charged for the BBC Whether They Like it or Not Sat Nov 22, 2025 11:00 | Charlotte Gill
It's bad enough that all UK TV users are forced to fund the BBC via a TV licence. But it's worse than that, says Charlotte Gill: millions of pounds of taxpayers' money are handed to the corporation via backdoor channels.

World Kindness Day may have passed you by. But it won't have passed by your children, whose school will have been sure to teach that climate action and open borders are essential elements of 'kindness', says Steven Tucker.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9- 4:20pm: RTS party is in full swing. The sound system is blasting out music and the crowd dancing away. The athmosphere is good, although it is now starting to rain. So far no problems with the police.

- 5:45pm: Two more sound systems (3 in total) have joined the RTS. The numbers of people joining the street party is still increasing to around 600 people at the present time.
- 6:00pm; An odd police manoeuvre has just taken place when at one end of the street party, police withdrew vehicles and then drove back close to the third sound system. Then, a green police van tried to slowly drive into the party, but people stood calmly in front of it whilst protecting the sound system. People still dancing, and apart from this incident, the athmosphere is still good and calm.
- 6:30pm: The main sound system has just packed up and put away. The second sound system is still blasting away, and people maintain the party athmosphere with dancing and drumming.
- 7:15pm: One sound system is still playing and people dancing around it. There is also a big circle of people drumming and fire juggling. Police presence seems to have diminished, so people are still chilling and partying without any problems.
- 7:45: It is now raining, but there are still over 250 people in the street party dancing to the drums and the last sound system. A police helicopter is now hovering overhead, but there is a great athmosphere of release in the party, after the days of tension and the constant avalanche of media mayhem. Lots of smiles in the crowd, but people still worried about all the people arrested who have bail, and court appearances tomorrow and Wednesday.
- 8.15pm: Still 200 people dancing away to the beats of one sound system and drums. Good vibes in the party, although there seem to be increased number of police in the area.
- 9:30pm: There are still around 100 people at the RTS, but the street party is now winding down. The situation in the area is calm.
