Piers Stobbs’ Post

Business is born to create and develop are you growing or shrinking ?

Crikey. Apparently I've been on Radio 6 too. Sorry to anyone who had their breakfast spoiled! But I make no apologies for trying to raise the importance of the UK having a housing strategy (ridiculous that we don't have one!), and that investing in social housing should be a core part of it. You can read my thoughts on it in the linked article. Shortish story shorter: We've not invested in enough social housing for decades + At the same time we've sold loads through the RTB + Various things (including supply vs demand and low interest rates) have pushed up housing costs + an ageing population = Not surprising result that lots of (particularly less well off) older people are reliant on very expensive private rent, which will cost us all £££s as people reach retirement age Shortish story even shorter: ✅️ Investing in social housing is good for all of us! https://lnkd.in/epVaz5eN

In the latest Weekly Sceptic, Nick Dixon and I discuss the dead Reform UK Party parliamentary candidate and wonder whether, in fact, dead candidates might be better for the country than live ones. To 👁️or👂to the whole episode 👉 basedmedia.org.

THIS IS LAST HOPE FOR GAZA In the name of humanity to whosoever this post reaches should sent this post to P.M. and President of his country and also to news papers and TV's. After thorough analysis I realised that there are two basic and fundamental structural defects in the constitution of UN which are 1. Veto Power System for the permanent members of the security council of UN. Since there is a body of all stakeholders in the form of General Assembly wherein all member- countries of the UN are represented there is absolutely no need of Security Council to accept or reject the resolutions passed by General Assembly. As such Security Council should be dissolved forthwith. 2. All member countries of UN are not signatory to the Rome statute consequently some countries are not under the International Criminal Court (ICC) whereas all the member countries have to be under the jurisdiction of ICC so that peace prevails in the world. . Due to these defects America has made a mockery of the UN as it is reduced to a puppet in the hands of the America. Consequently America with some allies have invaded several Muslim countries like Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya and looted these countries then leaving these countries after the loot is complete. Presently America with the help of Israel (both countries are not under the jurisdiction of ICC) is demolishing, cold blooded mass murders, devastation, destruction , displacement, ethenic cleansing, murder especially of children and women and genocide and the whole world including the UN have to be mute spectators of all this and nobody has the powers to question them because of these defects in the constitution of UN. More than seven decades have passed by but the above-mentioned defects in the constitution of UN were not rectified. Non-rectification of these defects has created a very grave situation as instead of peace maintaining organisation UN became a weapon of blackmailing and means of invading and looting the rich countries by some countries which were having the veto power also besides these countries were not signatory to the Rome statute consequently these countries were not under the jurisdiction of ICC. As the result these countries became law per se and virtually became terrorist countries of the world because they were not answerable to any forum for whatever they do. They invaded and looted several countries so much so they created terrorist groups also. Now the climax of lawlessness has reached in Palestine where total devastation, destruction, cold blooded mass murders, genocide, ethenic cleansing, kidnapping and rape of innocent and unarmed civilians is being done and the whole world including UN have to be mute spectators because of the basic and fundamental defects in the constitution of UN have not been rectified. This is the highest time these defects are rectified by the General Assembly. Let General Assembly wake up after decades of slumber and rectify the defects as proposed above..

The Vaughan Gething story illustrates perfectly what BBC Scotland is. It's a fake. It's no more a Scottish broadcaster than Scottish Labour or the Scottish Tories are actual parties. None of the three are real. They are limbs of the same British establishment body. "BBC Scotland won't highlight and pursue Labour hypocrisy over the Gething story because it can't. It would be akin to someone deliberately taking an axe to their own arm. Any reporter attempting to expose Labour hypocrisy would be treated as a harmful infection and cut out. The three limbs are there for one purpose. To attack the SNP and prevent independence. Labour can behave in any way it wants in England and Wales. BBC Scotland has no interest beyond Scotland. It's why lies about GB Energy, the Gething hypocrisy and Streeting's private sector plans for the NHS are all but ignored." MSM Monitor https://lnkd.in/ebxVbHUD

ICYMI - if interested in an honest, non party political exploration of 5 key issues/areas facing the U.K. as we head into a key election year regionally & nationally, really recommend a listen to #FixingBritain Radio 4 series presented by Baroness Casey. Insightful, informative & considered - opportunity to think about more of a citizen-focused approach to tackle challenging areas not just for the next Parliamentary cycle, but more substantively. #publicpolicy #inclusion #tolerance

India GDP will reach again to number one soon

Click the link below to listen to one of the best pieces I’ve heard around the issues raised by Mondays independent review. (Full piece after news summary) BBC News (BBC Radio 4 News at One) After my week filled to capacity with interviews, I’m just beginning to listen to a few in order to make it easier for those who want to see change to more clearly understand how the problems of the past are NOT problems of the past. They are NATIONAL problems of today. National problems with policing, NOT a local problem of one case just in Rochdale ….. Lack of victim care, lack of resources, lack of accountability, culture change, leadership issues, cover ups and the absolute priority being to protect organisational reputation at all costs, not victims, even when those in power know the real truth but pretend otherwise. The parallels between the Police cover ups and cultures are spread out for all to see in the recent ITV drama ‘Mr Bates v the Post Office’. But it took this drama to expose what was going on behind the curtain in the Post Office. That could so easily be my own journey of the past 19 years, and I could easily be Mr Bates. The parallels are scary tbh. This interview and coverage by @BBCNews World at One covers some of the key issues I’ve been banging on about for 10 years. A great summary of where we need urgent action and change to prevent another 10 years of the most abject failures and cover ups, lies. Worth listening to…. @MayorofGM also clearly reiterates many of the points I’ve been sharing with him since I approached him several years ago. #police #truth #justice #victims #coverups #change #reform
