(1711) Evening all … almost dark out there.

I put out a theory, given Jamaican connections perhaps:

12. The TPA this morning

All the way back in May 2025 we warned that the Covid Inquiry would end up being the most expensive statutory inquiry in British history. Highlighting this clearly irritated those running the inquiry who branded our research as ‘flawed’.

Fast forward 11 months, and headlines broke that show, unsurprisingly, our research team was bang on the money.

More at AKH. Meanwhile:

This week, the scale and staggering cost of Britain’s illegal migration crisis became impossible to ignore. A damning report from the Home Affairs Committee revealed how migrant hotels have shifted from being a “temporary stop-gap” to the government’s “go-to solution”, with costs tripling from £4.5 billion to £15.3 billion. Even worse, the report exposed how private contractors are pocketing “excessive” profits off the backs of hardworking taxpayers.

Naturally, the TPA leapt straight into action, securing four separate media slots in one day to hammer home the message that taxpayers are being taken for a ride. Our investigations campaign manager, Callum McGoldrick, told Peter Cardwell on Talk: “If you do the maths, you can see this is clearly not value for money. What should be looked at is keeping them in short-term accommodation before deporting them.”

Further to this, it was revealed by The Sun that the Heathrow detention centre was offering £31,500 for a hairdresser job to cut the hair of illegal migrants before deportation and needed to know the  “cultural needs” of the people that they were dealing with. Having none of it, our media campaign manager told GB News viewers on Martin Daubney’s show, “I don’t think that illegal immigrants should have their haircut. The only thing that they should be having cut is the amount of time they spend in the UK”.

Between ballooning hotel bills and pampered deportees, this week proved what we at the TPA have been saying for a long time about how broken and expensive the UK’s approach to illegal immigration has become. We will keep exposing and commenting on these absurd wastes of taxpayers’ money and calling for a system that puts taxpayers, not illegal migrants, first.

No review needed today, methinks … jazz later.

Think the jazz is sorted for later:

I really wanted to also do Joe Cocker reactions, as firstly, the performances were so passionate and lush, the young reactors in awe of how you actually needed talent back then … plus Steve B has a chart quiz in which one of the three numbers features:

I also have these two to run and not sure how I can fit them in today:

The thing with the Baskerville copy is it’s clear and HD … perfect for a Sunday or Monday Mat. But the Minder is shorter and more topical … especially in the light of Huntingdon. Decisions, decisions, help me out.

5. All Souls Day

“All Souls’ Day, also called The Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed, is a day of prayer and remembrance for the faithful departed, observed by Christians on 2 November. In Western Christianity, including Roman Catholicism and certain parts of Lutheranism and Anglicanism, All Souls’ Day is the third day of Allhallowtide, after All Saints’ Day (1 November) and All Hallows’ Eve (31 October). Before the standardization of Western Christian observance on 2 November by St. Odilo of Cluny in the 10th century, many Roman Catholic congregations celebrated All Souls’ Day on various dates during the Easter season as it is still observed in the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Eastern Catholic churches and the Eastern Lutheran churches. Churches of the East Syriac Rite (Assyrian Church of the East, Ancient Church of the East, Syro-Malabar Catholic Church, Chaldean Catholic Church), (Syriac Catholic Church). commemorate all the faithful departed on the Friday before Lent. As with other days of the Allhallowtide season, popular practices for All Souls’ Day include attending Mass offered for the souls of the faithful departed, as well as Christian families visiting graveyards in order to pray and decorate their family graves with garlands, flowers, candles and incense. Given that many Christian cemeteries are interdenominational in nature, All Souls’ Day observances often have an ecumenical dimension, with believers from various Christian denominations praying together and cooperating to adorn graves.” (Wiki)

That’s better than I could have put it … it’s more ecumenical than All Hallows, it’s reverent towards our forebears, our fallen forces personnel, just about all in our lineage, except the baddies of course.

a) The Left Lie 1. The French Interior Minister and former Paris Police Prefect Laurent Nunez has filed a defamation lawsuit against four members of the hard-left, accusing them of falsely claiming that “the police kill”.

b) The Left Lie 2. LFI MP Abdelkader Lahmar claims to be “the son of people murdered by the French army” in Algeria… seemingly forgetting that he was born in 1971….

c) If Britain’s establishment parties had any sense, they’d spend taxpayer cash on detention centres for illegal migrants, not hotels.

d) The film “Sacré-Cœur” is an unexpected success. The initiative is quite unusual: the former singer of a boy band [Steven Gunnell] who was popular in the 1990s converted to Catholicism and has just made a documentary glorifying the Sacred Heart.

e) The return of the ‘Ladies only’ carriages on the French railways? Following an attempted rape by a migrant on the RER C commuter train….
