Compensation for rail passengers for late-running or cancelled trains has now hit £100m a year.


However:

under current contracts, the compensation bill is funded by the taxpayer – the government pays operators a management fee regardless of performance and carries the cost of lost revenue.

I don't understand how there's been flooding in Dubai. It's clearly not climate change, since Scrot has informed us that climate change is simply a plot by lefties to stop us driving cars and using oil products, and Dubai is an oil state and owns GB News so is an approved Scrot country.

The only realistic reason for floods is God's disapproval of gay marriage, but homosexuality is illegal in Dubai, so that doesn't add up either.

I suggested to my brother last week, that the spike and resulting 13 year long Cup n Handle break out in Gold, was leading up to a very significant 'Risk Off' event. Most likely, Iran striking Israel.



....and I wasn't wrong.

However, if this act was known by the movers and shakers of the world to lead directly to a massive conflict, one would expect Oil to be going on a big fucking tear to the upside also. Whilst Gold looks as though it is set to multiply over coming years (at least one brutal correction not withstanding), Oil is just looking kind of 'meh'.



Whilst Israel have telegraphed their decision to strike Iran on Iranian soil (this weekend, shortly after lunch or something like that), and this is as dangerous a situation as the world has ever been in within my lifetime, the Oil markets say there will be no big global conflict, for now.

Regarding Gold, something else must be happening to have it diverge so dramatically from expected behaviour when correlated with other assets and parameters, such as US treasury yields.

BRICS (Russia and China) recognise that the Vampire Zionist Beast is in poor health, as does the Beast itself. The Beast needs to feed on the rest of the world, or die. Other than take the bait, I suspect that Russia and China (who will to an extent have Iran on a leash....(the Russians gave Iran their hypersonic capabilities), are now accelerating moves to hasten the Beasts death, by virtue of undermining US financial hegemony which has allowed it to become the blood sucking parasite on the world economy that it has become. If this were to ring somewhat true, this may explain Gold's parabolic breakout, in the absence of pending global war........

.......which isn't to say it won't all lead to global war, it still might, but Oil says 'not yet'.

So..the Guardian, BBC et al report that Blackpool has most children in care throughout the whole of England , equating this to the poverty and deprivation in the North. It's true that there is more poverty and deprivation in the North and it's true that this equates to more children in care, however....as I pointed out the other day, the reason for the high population of children in Care in Blackpool is that other, more insidious but equally unforgivable outcome of Thatcherite housing and Public services policies that housing in Blackpool is so cheap that american Hedge funds have bought up loads of HMO's and created shit residential units for children from all over the country. Blackpool however is still a shithole.

Yet another case of lefties silencing opinions they don’t like.

Very, very dangerous times.
