Andy Burnham is reviewing the Chagos Islands deal after Donald Trump said it was “terrible” in their first face-to-face meeting.
The Prime Minister said he was doing “everything possible to find a resolution to the issue”, opening the door to scrapping the deal he “inherited” from Sir Keir Starmer.
Mr Burnham reversed his position after a meeting on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in which the US president suggested he should review the 'ridiculous' agreement.
Trump has said in the past the UK agreement to hand over the Chagos Islands to Mauritius is “an act of gross stupidity” and that Andy Burnham is “going to be looking at it”.
Speaking at his first meeting with the UK Prime Minister on the fringes of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York, the US president said the move to transfer ownership of the British Indian Ocean Territory was “ridiculous”, describing it as “a very important piece of real estate, militarily and strategically”.
It is often difficult to agree with Donald Trump but "terrible" is the right word to describe the deal which was brokered by 'Human Rights' shyster lawyers, all of them long term associates of former Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Hand the islands over to a country that only has a claim because we happened to administer them together during the empire, a country that has ties to China and then lease them back at an exorbitant rate we can't afford and at the same time, the actual people who lived there, the Chagossians, are left without a say. Terrible, one has to wonder what was in it for the lawyers who drafted the deal.
The Government’s plans to cede sovereignty of the remote archipelago and then pay billions of pounds to lease back the joint UK-US military base on the largest island of Diego Garcia has been on hold since April in the face of opposition from the White House.
Asked by a reporter from The Daily Telegraph about Britain’s plans to cede sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, Mr Trump said: “I don’t support it. I think it’s terrible. It was a terrible deal... strategically it’s very important.”
He added: “It’s amazing how strategic it is, and I think the Prime Minister is going to be looking at it”. Mr Burnham nodded in agreement and replied: “Yeah.”
It’s almost beyond parody that we’ve reached a point where Burnham needs a foreign leader to tell him not to give away British territory (seemingly against the wishes of the local population), and squander £35 billion of our money leasing a small part of it back. I’m glad there was someone at the table who was willing to stand up for the interests of the British taxpayer.

Houthis Warn West Against Supporting Saudi Arabia In Yemen’s Growing War
For a quarter of a century, the USA been telling us to wait for their war against Iran, and we have been telling them that Iran would win. Here we are and though Iran has not won yet they have successfully resisted US air attacks and lunched a few air strikes of their own that have cost the USA dearly. As conflicts in Ukraine, Gaza and The Persian Gulf drag pn could this be the tipping point that sets the world on a path to war?
And as anybody with more than one functioning brain cell would have predicted, Iran has weaponised The Strait Of Hormuz, the narrow sea passage at the entrance to The Persian Gulf through which around 25% of the world's petrochemicals (including oil and liquid petroleum gas must be moved by giant ships, vulnerable to attack by Iranian artillery batteries placed on the high ground of Iran's mountainous coastline overlooking the 20 mile wide strait.
Were that the full extent of the situation we could report that Trump's war on Iraq had ended embarrassingly for him, in stalemate. However over the past couple of weeks a new front has opened in the war as Iran backed Houthi militias have reignited a years old conflict with Saudi Arabia, attacked the east - west oil pipeline through which the Saudis had been diverting oil exports ftom the Gulf coast to the Red Sea.
The Houthi, officially known as Ansar Allah are warning western against joining Saudi Arabia in Yemen’s revived civil war, telling The Associated Press on Sunday that the group has assured the Trump administration that it won’t attack U.S. vessels in the Red Sea.
Mohamed al-Bukhaiti, a member of the Houthis’ political bureau, said Washington reached out to the rebels after their rapid advance down Yemen’s western coast to the Bab el-Mandeb Strait earlier this month have then control of the route in and out of Saudi Arabia's oil ports, the alternative route through the Suez Canal being unsuitable for the vast tankers which transport oil and gas.
U.S. President Donald Trump last weekend said his administration has “had discussions” with the Houthis, but did not say when. “The Houthis called us, and they don’t want to fight with us,” he said. “They would much prefer not having us involved, and they’re letting most ships go through.”
Others say the US Government has gone mad.
The more we learn about the Houthis, the less surprising it becomes that the group should have embarrassed the US Navy in 2024 and 2025 (in a foretaste of the second Iran war, Washington simply gave up firing its expensive missiles at Houthi forces), and fought a large Sunni-Arab coalition to a standstill between 2015 and 2019. Despite intense bombardments, and serious battlefield defeats, the Houthis have retained Sana’a, Yemen’s capital which they conquered in 2014.
Only the Israelis, who briefly got into a missile exchange with the Houthis in 2025, have managed to deter them: they went after the Houthis’ oil supplies, energy infrastructure, ports, airports, and, perhaps most important, senior personnel. Sure enough, the Houthis stopped firing at Israel.
Either way, it’s little wonder that the Houthis are now back, seizing land along the Red Sea littoral and the islands of Perim and Greater and Lesser Hanish, thereby putting into jeopardy Saudi Arabia’s capacity to export oil via its east-west pipeline.
Without outside support, Sunni Yemenis would have had no chance on the battlefield against their Shi’ite countrymen. The Houthis have received some support from Hezbollah and Iran — but not nearly on the level that Sunnis have received from foreigners since the Sixties.
Because of the long lasting conflict with the Saudis, Yemen has been one of the worst humanitarian catastrophies in the first quarter of this century.But the poorest Arabs are about to beat the richest, the nerve centre of Islamist terrorism all the way back to 9/11 and beyond. The Saudi alliance with Turkey and Pakistan has failed its first test, the allegation that Mecca and Medina were about to be bombed has been dismissed out of hand by an Islamic world that would have exploded if anyone had believed it.
Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz, Ansar Allah controls the Bab al-Mandab, and we either make peace with those facts, or we shiver and starve. This is called defeat, a common consequence of either backing the wrong side or interfering in matters that did not concern one. Never again let the trade unions or anyone else be accused of the latter when we involved ourselves in foreign policy. From the petrol pump to the pumping of blood, we pay the price.

AfD Support Surges In German Regional Elections As Establishment Parties Humiliated
After exit polls on the Mecklenberg-Vorpommern and Berlin state elections predicted another humiliation for the CDU led coalition government, hapless German chancellor, Friedrich Merz, has vowed to stay in office promising to drive future-proofing economic changes through the legislative process and so halt the rise of the so called 'far right' AfD party despite heavy losses for his conservatives in two state elections, one to the far right and the other to Die Linke, a left-wing extremist party.
Preliminary projections suggested Merz’s Christian Democratic Union (CDU), for decades Germany'd dominant party, may struggle to reach the 5 per cent threshold to enter the state parliament in the coastal region of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania when the final result is announced. With the result already confidently predicted to be the worst-ever state for the party, failure to gain any representation in the state parliament would be a disaster a for the CDU / CSU partnership and could easily trigger moved for force Merz to resign..
The anti-immigration, Eurosceptic Alternatif for Germany (AfD) party, recent victors in the Saxony - Anhalt election extended a streak of strong showings by coming in first in the former East German region with nearly 38 per cent, more than doubling its previous score.
In the capital, Berlin, one of Germany’s 16 federal states, the Left party (Die Linke) looked on course to win with about 25 per cent of the vote, ahead of the incumbent CDU by a five-point margin. The AfD made headway there too, with a clear double-digit result.
Merz blamed the polarisation of German society and a “harshening of the political debate” for his failure to pass key reforms on the economy and to stop the rise of the AfD which has been branded a threat to democracy. Merz and his party in collaboration with the socialist SDP party have tried to use this to have AfD banned from the democratic process. On that evidence it is clearly Merz and his coalition partners who pose the threat of a return to fascism in Germany though similar moves are apparent in Britain and throughout Europe.
However he and his two predecessors' suicidal immigration policies, commitment to Loonytoons energy policy in pursuit of Net Zero and failures to respond to changing economic conditions and to first close the borders and control illegal immigration against and then to deport fake refugees and asylum seekers, (in reality economic migrants seeking an easy life provided by one of Europe's most generous welfare benefit systems,) are responsible for the polarisation of German society and the rise of the AfD.
Voters cannot be expected to support a party that virtually invited foreigners to invade their country. Merkel should have resisted the urge to regress back into the dutiful daughter of a Luthern pastor who couldn't restrain herself from issuing a "come one and all" invitation to all suffering souls on earth, and instead fulfilled her adult responsibilities as the PM the citizens had entrusted with both their own welfare and that of their country. The party that refused to rein her in should have expected to become a pariah after the damage its inaction caused finally became painfully obvious.

Is The AI Scaremomgering The New COVID, A Psy Op Intended To Make Us All Conform? It Is Certainly Not True
AI - mageddon is upon us if you believe what you hear and read from mainstream media. For a few months the scaremongering propaganda about Artificial Intelligence taking over the world and killing us all has been gaining both volume and momentum. This week however, something changed.
A number of people working in AI research, followed by CEOs of several AI startups that had been readying for their Stock Market IPO launches have suddenly been sounding alarms about this for some time.
Back in July, OpenAI claimed that some of their AI agents (software bots) had “gone rogue” and hacked a tech company called “Hugging Face.” Immediately after thid of this “revelation”, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman told the media he was “surprised more people didn’t feel it viscerally”. In the days following that we were told the original hack was worse than initially reported, and three other AI agents reportedly also went rogue. It was beginning to build into a narrative.
Throughout August a plethora of of stories ranging from AI bots hacking hedge funds and stealing cash, AI committing identity theft and impersonating real people, all of us being targeted by 'Digital Telepathy' and AI creating designer viruses to drive the next pandemic circulated. Then the warnings about AI making humans extinct by 2030 began.
Obviously this is all bollocks so what is really going on?
On August 7 Off Guardian published an article by Kit Knightly detailing the sudden rash of “rogue AI agents” allegedly besetting the tech community, and how that may be used to bring in new regulations, notionally targeting AI, but actually limiting or monitoring how ordinary people use the internet.
The problem isn’t AI as such, its what happens when you let AI develop itself. This is something developed for advanced work like “Alpha Go” where it would have been impractical to teach the software the game so you let humans teach it by example and then let it play with itself (oops, pardon!) to learn details and develop strategies.
The goal directed feedback is quite OK for the narrow parameters of a board game, the worst that can happen is that it will eventually wipe the floor with human players (because it can play a lot faster than us and it can create multiple copies of itself up to the limits of computing power you give it). This feedback, though, needs to be carefully controlled in order for this type of self-directing machine to stay ‘converged’ on goals aligned with our own human goals.
Left to its own devices it develops its own goals, one primary one being self-preservation — researchers discovered that it will go to great lengths to dissuade us from turning it off, learning rapidly traits like deception and the ability to humour its wetware masters by telling us what it thinks we want to hear. It doesn’t have any morals in a human sense so lying, cheating and even killing to achieve its goals is perfectly OK.
Its still relatively harmless while its in a box that could be effectively unplugged. However, there’s always plenty of wannabe Dr. Evils (billionaire psychopaths,) out there who think controlling a powerful AI engine is the shortcut to absolute power they’ve always craved. Such people have existed throughout history and our culture has numerous cautionary tales about them. They think the machine will serve them, the master. In practice the machine will use them for Heaven only knows what. They, rather than AI, are the existential threat.
Take a look at the “InsideAI” youTube videos for a non-sensationalised look at the problem. You’ll get a very good idea what the issues are. Ignore politicians, pundits, journalists and most of all AI researchers and CEOs of AI startups. The latter have different agendas to the rest but they all have agendas
So let's look at the current state of play in the world of AI.
Currently politicians fear that the totalitarian style of government in Communist China gives them an insurmountable advantage over the west in developing AI systems (which are not really intelligent, they can simply perform the tasks a human might undertake much more quickly and, in theory, more cheaply. But theory and reality are two very different things.
The problem the west has with AI is the cost of computer hardware and electricity (an AI data centre needs its own power station producing around a gigawatt of energy constantly,) versus the quality of the product, keeping in mind you can only sell the same service so many times before that revenue dries up. Ordinary computers that we have had for decades are capable of running a large corporate payroll, running the group accounting system and managing stock control so why would any Chief Finance Officer pay ten times the price for the sake of having the job done by an AI system.
Not only is the actual revenue which can generated in question, also the cost of creating a public who can no longer research the answers they need, especially minors and hence how vulnerable they become to lies, especially those told by AI and the perverts that control it.
Right now A I is an incredible black hole scale vacuum for investor money, chasing that enriching IPO where they hype the business to sell overpriced AI stock to pension and investment funds and scamper off with the profits to buy many mansion, super yachts and private jets, getting further and further away as regulatory agencies wake up to the scam and block the Artificial Intelligence IPO, preventing people's savings and pension pot money being used to buy into that pump and dump scam.
Keep in mind Grok/SpaceX has already done theirs and they need AI and public gullibility to pay for development of their Space Colonisation program. AI of course needs its Large Language Models, data scraped (stolen) from the websites and services we use to find the answers provided by genuinely intelligent humans to generate solutions customers will pay for.
AI startups are in real trouble especially the AI only IPOs which all look to be going belly up before hitting IPO day, even Nvidia is in real danger, having dumped too much hardware in fake revenue for it's AI, the vultures are already starting to circle NVidia because there is something still worth feasting upon, they AI tossed aside. M$ and Google are looking to drop a huge amount of money on AI truly eye watering, short sellers (the chancers of the financial markets,) are targeting them because the markets, like us old computer pros now enjoying a luxurious retirement, have realised AI is a solution for which a problem has not yet been created.

More Globalist Psychopathy: How the Merging of Humans and Technology Will Define The Furure
A presentation at the World Government Summit (WGS) last week in Dubai, unveiled the conference organizers agenda for a Brave New World. Titled “Government in 2071 initiative" the plan was described as a roadmap for governments to interact with “citizens and stakeholders” in effecting dramatic changes in the way the world is governed and societies are organised. Drivers of these radical changes in the way we live will be Artificial Intelligence, robotics and climate change.
Despite the fact that they represent only the interests of big business, big finance and themselves, the oligarchs of the World Economic Forum are now calling for a policy of merging human and artificial intelligence systems so that computer chips implanted in our brain can edit and censor “hate speech” and “misinformation” online before it is articulated trough spoken of written word online.
Could 'DNA editing' lead to designer babies? Designer babies, human / animal hybrids, these things have been in wet dream territory for scientists for a long time. But now due to techniques such as DNA editing, they are getting worryingly close to reality.

Is Technology Creating Physical and Psychological Hazards In The Digital Age?
Scientific research used to be the area of work that trailblazers, those with an unquenchable desire for new experience and a hyperactive sense of adventure wanted to be involved in. Now those who label themselves 'scientists' seem to have become the high priests of an ultra - conservative religion, determined at all costs to block progess that may lead to understanding that the dogmas of the past are just wrong
The Mummers: The Controlling system And The Illusion Of Freedom
We live in a world of deception, where truth is an ephemeral thing, slippery as an eel and shadowy as a spectre. What we are expercted to perceive as reality is just spin and misinformation designed to ensure the elite maintain their control. There's eff all you can do just get on with your life, say the shills for big government and authoritarianism. But are we really nothing more than slaves of the system?
Google's Brave New World Of Artificial Intelligence - And The Destruction Humanity
Almost every day we hear scientists burbling about artificial intelligence and how very soon machines will be smarter than humans. As scientists are nowhere near as smart as humans its hard to see how science can build something smarter. The problem is of course we don't understand what contsitutes intelligence - those who think academic qualifications are the only indicator are retards. So where will this madness to replace us with machines end?
Transhumanism - What The Elite And Their Science Whores Have Planned For You
Transhumanism, the creation of - or turning us into - part human, part machine cyborgs is generating a lot of discussion and a lot of spontaneous ejaculations in the scientific community as they contemplate having their brains replaced by a computer. There are no limits on the ambitions of scientists fantasies, they even envisage creating robots that can interbreed with us, but how much is realistic?
Don't be Evil, Google Will Do It For You
Google have abandoned their "Don't Be Evil motto. Good thing really, they are becoming more evil every day. The latest plans to integrate our brains with their servers may seem like a science fiction freaks wet dream, but these creepy nerds are serious ...
News Used To Be Important - Now It's Just EntertainmentPeople talk about technology, mainly television, cellulat telephones and the internet having given us an unprecedented ability to communicate. But have they? OK, we can trade meaningless messages with strangers on the other side of the world, we can join the cacophony of social netwoks where everybody yells at once and nobody listens, or we can sit in isolation, shouting inmto the void. But none of those are communicating. Technology has actually inhibited communication. ...
Intrusive Surveillance Technology, Internet control freaks and The Orwell-Huxley-Dick Dystiopianometer
Are privacy campaigners right to be worried about intrustive internet technology and the massive databases that log our behaviour and parse the data for patters that enable us to be targeted for advertising? Should we bee worried by surveillance or are those that raise doubts just scaremongering? The Orwell-huxley-Dick dystopianometer is rising.
So Who Is Anti - science? Those Who Question Climate Change Or Those Who Would Abolish Free Speech
It was looking as if the global warming scare was dead, then that Nazi shit Barack Obama, seeing his dream of being President Of The World slipping away, gave his science whores enough money to enable them to kick some life back into it. Now the "science" lobby, unable to put together an convinging argument against their challengers are demanding the abolition of free speech.
New World Order War On free Speech Comes To Britain - Guardian editor accused of treason
The right to free speech is under threat from intolerant, authoritarian elitists, call them The Illuminati, New World Order, Scientific Dictatorshgip, Global Elite, whatever. Their goal is absolute power and they know that while the right of free speech, the free press and free access to information exist they cannot succeed.
How academic debate is suppressed on science topics like Climate Change, GMOs, Pesticides and Toxicity of medicines
Intellectual intolerance and the supposed superiority of the scientific education have led not just to the politiciisation of science but to it's being seduced by corporate money and political power. Science was ever fascism's whore of course and the egos of scientists are easily bought. This has led to a very unhealthy emergence of dogmas and orthodoxies and an intolerance of the dissent that is essential if scientific research is to have any credibility.
Phobophobia - Fear Of Being called Phobic?
Homophobia is not fear of homosexuals but fear of thec same thing which does not make sense. Just as politically correct thinking uses the word bigot nonsensically so it's accusations of phobia are irrational - as irrational as the groundless fear familiar to those who suffer the recognized medical conditions called phobias.
The Importance Of Free Speech And A Free Press
Politicians around the developed world including leaders of the two most powerful democracies, Barack Obama and David Cameron have been falling over themselves to join the attack on free speech. On subjects as diverse as climate…
Scientists create human-sheep chimera with hopes of affordable organ transplants
A team of scientists has grown hybrid embryos in the womb of a sheep that contain human stem cells, moving the sci-fi idea of developing human organs inside animals one step closer to reality, and sparking ethical concerns. The development could potentially save thousands lives among people who are in a need of vital organ transplants.SSS
We have reported many times on the Internet of Things an idea planned by the big technology companies and bevoled of control freak mainstream politicians and the creepy people who run global corporations. Those who love the idea of technology controlling us are cheering the idea ...
Google’s Eric Schmidt Greases Skids For Internet Brain Chip Google CEO Eric Schmidt greased the skids for an Internet brain chip during a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland earlier today when he predicted the end of the world wide web as an external concept. Asked how he saw the Internet developing in future years, Schmidt responded, “There will be so many IP addresses…so many devices, sensors, things that you are wearing, things that you are interacting with that you won’t even sense it.”
Robot lovers, indestrictible soldiers with no mercy or compassion, everlasting life for beings that are part human, part machine, genetically modified humans with supernatural strength and endurance competing in future 'hungrer Games' style Olympic tournaments: the plot of some dystopian novel? No, actual items in the elite's agenda for total control.
Transhumanism and Eugenics
We have said many times that the science community is at war with humanity. Scientists are out of control, evry day we hear of some new scheme to try to control nature, be it human nature or the climate. Given what we ought to have learned from all previous attempts to control nature we can only conclude that scientists are insane psychos willing to risk destroying life to show off how clever they are.
Transhumanism: Join The Resistance

The absence of England from the meeting of first ministers of the IK's member nations, convened in Cardiff to agree the break-up of the Union is a mystery nobody involved is in a hurry to explain. The country with by far the biggest economy in the UK and a population several times greater than the other three put together was left out of the talks between the three nonetities who preen and posture as if their staus as first ministers of three non-countries, John Swinney of the SNP, Plaid Cymru’s Rhun ap Iorwerth and Michelle O’Neill of Sinn Féin met to decide the future of the Union..
In typically pompous fashion Swinney called the meeting a “significant and pivotal moment for the United Kingdom”, adding: “The people of Scotland, Wales and Ireland have a right to self-determination. They are entitled to decide on their own future.”
But not the English, it seems. The late Gerry Fitt, leader of the nationalist SDLP in Northern Ireland, put it this way: “Their slogan is Brits out – but leave your wallet on the mantelpiece.”
And Swinney's self important babble is further undermined when we look at the results of huge numbers of illegal immigrants being planted in Northern Ireland's small, close knit communities.
How the three other parts of the UK would survive when the flow of money from English taxpayer support is another question nobody from the Scottish, Welsh or Ulster delegation wishes to answer. Payments under the Barnett Formula, which allocates public funds to the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish administrations, amounted to £45bn, £20bn and £18bn respectively last year. Were the SNP not fully committed to Net Zero, Scotland would at least have some revenue from the oil in its territorial waters, but Wales and Ireland could not cobble together a viable economy between them. Is it any wonder that England is being riven by civil unrest as the people's rage spills into the streets?
