The Strange Death of Knowing Stuff Wed Dec 24, 2025 19:00 | Dave Summers
In his Sixth Form Christmas quiz this year, none of Dave Summers's students could name the author of To Kill a Mockingbird ? previously one of the easy questions. Another sign that wokery is dissolving our culture.

Will Labour Ban Christmas Carols Next? Wed Dec 24, 2025 17:00 | Julian Mann
If Christmas songs fall foul of Labour's 'banter ban', Christmas carols ? with their 'offensive' assertions of the divinity of Christ that are deemed blasphemous by Islam ? are even more likely to, says Julian Mann.

Starmer to Push Britain into Stricter Net Zero Targets Under EU Deal Wed Dec 24, 2025 15:26 | Will Jones
Keir Starmer is preparing to tie Britain to the EU's Net Zero plans in a move that would impose radically stricter 'green' energy targets on homes and businesses, leading to further deindustrialisation and impoverishment.

A Crappy Christmas from Anglian Water Wed Dec 24, 2025 13:17 | Mike Wells
Dumping of sewage into rivers is supposed to happen only 'exceptionally'. But in Odell it occurred for over a third of the year. In Bedford it may be worse ? but the monitoring equipment is broken, says Mike Wells.

Abuse of Fas scheme workers

For years fas neglected the welfare of scheme workers throught-out Ireland.

For years individuals were place through FAS schemes into organisations some of which treated these individuals as second class. These organisations often turned a blind eye to the treatment of these individuals by perminant staff and managers.

These individuals at the time were not only denighed access to recource in relation to bullying, but also exposed to breaches of employee legislation, and job portection.

These individuals were mistreated in charities that exist in the service of supporting others health, as well as government departments and charity shops.

The current revelations in respect of FAS miss spending does not in many ways highlight the true picture of the practices of FAS, and the real disgrace which knowingly neglected the suffering of individuals for years.

The suffering that these individuals experienced deserves recognition and at the vary least a formal appology.
