This could be the answer

 Will this get rid of the nasties on the streets. Worth a try. 

Summary of the knives and weapons surrender arrangements  

This guidance sets out advice on how you can safely surrender and dispose of knives and  bladed weapons by using a bespoke Home Office funded surrender bin which has been installed by Word 4 Weapons. The surrender scheme is operating from 3 to 31 August 2026.

A mobile surrender van will be operated by FazAmnesty and will be stationed at locations in Greater London and West Midlands on certain dates during the surrender arrangements. The mobile surrender van will provide a safe way to dispose of knives and bladed  weapons.

You can read the Home Office article here. This should make us all feel a lot safer as we walk about the streets in London and Birmingham. 

Here is an article in the Independent about Fazamnesty.

Spinning a story.

 As a follow on from the previous post about white and brown eggs, I make no excuses for posting this Twitter X post in full. Thank you Jason.

Let me categorically Debunk this utter rot.
@sainsburys
. I am a poultry Breeder. The hens that lay white eggs (Amberline/White Star) DO NOT have a lower carbon footprint. Yes they eat a bit less and produce roughly the same amount of eggs as the Brown egg layers (Bovan/Lowman/ISA Brown) but they live shorter lives, are prone to dying suddenly when startled, a flighty and nervous and because they live shorter productive lives (12 -18mnths) vs brown 18/24mnths (both commercial farmed), you have to incubate more which is increased (Electricity/gas costs) and their eggs are not the same quality. I breed and keep 20+ different breeds, including: ISA Brown hens and White Stars. All my hens are 100% free range, Not a single barn kept bird, I have ISA browns that are 5yrs old and still laying beautiful Brown eggs, I have not seen a White star live beyond 3yrs and certainly none have laid eggs past 18-24mnths. White stars Lay themselves to death. They are slender birds and because they dont eat a lot, it drains their personal vitality to keep up laying the eggs you want to sell because of the nonsensical lie that they are "More Carbon Neutral" You want to know about eggs, come talk to someone like me, Don't rely on some hairbrained imagination of a buyer who's trying to squeeze the profit margin for a few extra pennies at our expense and to the poor hens detriment.

Carbon neutral - zero emissions, and so the fear machine trundles on. They won't stop until we are gibbering idiots. Open your eyes. So much for mainstream media spinning a story, they are slaves of the establishment. Get rid of the vultures who's only aim is to work for their masters. We need citizen journalists more than ever. People at ground level, experts who know about things.

Get rid of that telly box. Stop paying the BBC. Toodle pip. ilona

Danger - Bus on fire.

 Stagecoach

Make the most of it by leaving the car at home and enjoying more free days out.
Discover new places, meet friends, and travel with ease.
We’ve got you!

Get in your car at any time of the day or night. Go where you want to go. Stop and start. Have a break. Long journeys or short journeys. No timetables. Build your car costs into your overall budget. It's that easy. 
Or, stop driving your car, sit on a bus with a lot of sweaty people. But make sure it's not this one. Stagecoach bus on fire this morning on the slip road off the Humber bridge. Other photo's showed that the fire started at the back in the engine compartment. The driver was quick thinking and got everyone off safely. Now the bridge is closed to allow emergency services to recover the wreckage.  
Have a good day. Stay at home and don't go anywhere, then you will be safe.

Losing his grip

From Social Media. 

 Sadiq Khan is complaining about “disinformation” portraying London negatively. So he wants stronger action and more regulatory powers from a new quango to stop it! So we all believe London is a peaceful happy place, where we all hold hands and love each other

😝😊😁😵😪

You are losing your grip Mr Khan. People can see right through you. It's not disinformation you should be worried about. People speak as they find. All the evidence is there, videos of youths rampaging through the streets. Shoplifting on a massive scale. An epidemic of mobile phone theft. Women knocked to the ground as their bags are ripped from them. The streets of London are no longer safe. 

So what are you going to do about it? How are you going to stop people from telling the truth? How will you shut them up? More cameras? More Big Brother spies? Recruit more police, dress them in black overloaded with tasers, cameras, truncheons, pepper sprays, send in the dogs, get them on horseback? 

Here are the facts from the Metropolitan Police: In the 12 months to February 2026: ❌ Sexual offences up 6.1% ❌ Rape up 8.4% ❌ Violence up 6.3% ❌ Drug offences up 22.9% ❌ Weapons possession up 23.7%

That is not going to work Mr Khan. Change needs to happen from the top down. You can't beat people into submission. But you wont take a diplomatic approach. Your alliance is with those who give you orders. Those who pay you. Those who will look after you when your time is up and a new Mayor is appointed. Your future is secured, unlike those you have trodden all over on your way up. 

Sleep easy in your bed, Mr Khan. You will. 

Not my Mayor. 

Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip.   ilona

Not a prison?

 Watch the video: Doncaster Free Press. Bosses at a new luxury hotel under construction near Doncaster have hit back over criticisms that it looks like a prison and is being built to house asylum seekers.

Bawtry Park will be a 64-bedroom luxury hotel near Austerfield, integrated with a multimillion-pound sports and leisure resort

Addressing speculation about the building’s design and use, spokesperson Jonathan Pearson said: “There’s been a lot of interest and conversation around our new development. “This is a major hospitality development being delivered by an experienced team, and we’re incredibly proud of what’s being created.

Something about this doesn't make sense. They are trying to reopen Doncaster Airport which is a few miles from here. There are enough hotels in the area, why do they want more? Not far from Worksop, Retford, Gainsborough, and Doncaster. Hardly a tourist area. Who has put the money up for this project? If they get the airport open they will be bringing them in by the plane load. I don't believe anything the Government tell us any more.

Catch ya later, with a new video. Toodle pip.  ilona

Are you thinking about retirement

Good evening. 
I was asked about retirement. When is a good time to stop work. How much money do you need to save before you can retire. I don't know what the official retirement age is at the moment, the Government keep changing the goal posts. I can only share my thoughts and experiences on the subject. A short answer is, you decide when you are going to retire, don't wait for someone to give you permission. Get your finances in order, pay off your debts, credit cards and loans, then get a pension forecast to see how much you will be entitled to.  
For the third time this weekend I have been litter picking. It gets me out for a walk. My bag is full, I could have filled another one but it gets quite heavy with bottles and cans. I will have to go back another day.  
Another letter arrived today from tv licensing. It was addressed to The Present Owner. Because I have ignored the last two they sent, they might be wondering if the house has new owners. The tone of the letters become more threatening, they are desperate to grab as much money as they can. 
Please get in touch to avoid further action.
It is our duty to ensure that everyone who needs a licence has one, so we have started an investigation into your property. 
To stop the investigation please do one of the following. Bla bla bla. 
If we don't hear from you we will have to schedule a visit to your address. 
Once you have contacted us we will cancel the investigation.  
I am following the Black Belt Barrister on this subject because he is in exactly the same position as I am. Not had a tele for many years, always declared licence not needed, got fed up of this annual ritual. He is ready to sue them for harassment. 
Now I must clock out because Mayze wants a cuddle.

Moving forward . . . .

 

UK HAULIER
DSV welcomes four Volvo FH Aero Electric trucks as part of landmark order.

Transport and logistics specialist DSV has deployed four Volvo FH Aero Electric 4×2 tractor units into its UK operations as part of a commitment to acquire more than 300 zero-exhaust emission trucks from the manufacturer by 2026.

Supplied by Alexandre Lopes, National Key Account Manager, Volvo Trucks UK & Ireland, the four new arrivals are direct replacements for older diesel models in the DSV fleet. Based in Immingham, the trucks – the first FH Aero Electrics to be put into operation in the UK – will be used on routes previously served by diesel trucks, resulting in immediate carbon savings.

DSV’s new trucks are each equipped with the maximum six batteries, offering an approximate driving range of up to 300 km and a recharging time of just 2.5 hours while using a 250kW DC charger. They also feature three electric motors, generating up to 666 hp and 2,400 Nm of continuous torque.

Established in 1976, today DSV is the world’s fourth-largest transport and logistics company, operating road, air and sea divisions. The new trucks form part of DSV’s plan to run 2,000 electric models in its fleet by 2030,

Opinion

 

Keir Starmer
We're facing a housing crisis — it's ridiculous to let land we could build on sit empty and disused. I said I would get Britain building. I am. We're unlocking brownfield railway sites across Britain to build 40,000 new homes. Giving more families the security they deserve.


They keep churning out this same old claptrap. They think it makes them look good and will inspire people to vote for them next time. In truth it will have the opposite effect. If you read the comments you won't find anything positive about Mr Starmer and his gang. 
As I drive around I am seeing new builds all over the place. Villages are turning into towns, towns are turning into cities. Green spaces are being swallowed up by bricks and mortar, concrete, solar farms, and wind turbines. They are decimating our countryside. 
So Mr Starmer, I will say once more, bullshit, you are not fooling anyone.
