Readers’ comments on “Scum of the world – come to Britain” blog

(Friday blog)

There were some great readers’ comments yesterday. So, I thought I’d take the day off today and recommend you click on the title of today’s blog to see what some readers wrote yesterday.

1. Why do so many migrants want to come to Britain?

Mainly so they can live off our generous benefits system while earning money on the side through working for cash or through criminality – theft, drug-dealing, fraud, burglaries etc. Britain has some of the most generous benefits for migrants in Europe. Note how few are interested in staying the countries they pass through on their way here.

Plus, for entertainment Britain will let them rape as many white girls as they want. Not only will the police allow them to rape and sodomise white girls, but some of those of their multi-cultural background will even join in the fun.

Here are the official figures for the number who came to the UK in 2019:

The real figure, which would include those not intercepted by the UK’s Border Farce, will probably be five to ten or twenty or thirty times the official figure?

And what’s happening this year? We don’t know. But we do know that over 90 illegal migrants were ferried by our Border Farce into Britain in a single day. That’s more in one day than in some months in 2019. And more than 470 have come in during the last week. So it looks like the migrant invasion is getting much worse and our Government and authorities are doing less than nothing to stop it. In fact, by providing free ferry services they’re encouraging it.

2. Why is our border force taxiing them in and why is the French equivalent not taking them back to France?

Our Border Farce are instructed to pick up as many as possible and ferry them in safety to Britain. As for the French, they’re only too happy to help the scum get to Britain. You think the French want all the parasitic, often criminal, often violent, often illiterate, often unemployable human garbage and detritus in their country?

3. What happens to them once they’re over here? How are they looked after (food, accommodation, clothing, etc.)? I suspect they get looked after better than our lot.

Once they get to Britain, they’re given accommodation, food and a weekly cash allowance while they spend months or even years claiming asylum using greedy solicitors all paid for by stupid British taxpayers. Also, many have been given debit cards already loaded with money by Soros-funded supposed refugee supposed charities as soon as they reach Europe to help them make the journey to Britain:

In 2019 the Home Office dropped its target to deal with most asylum claims within six months. The Migration Observatory says that only 25% now learn their fate in that time.

Less than half (I think) get asylum. It depends which country they claim to come from. You can see from the graph below that about half of those claiming to come from Iran and Eritrea are given asylum (the purple bars on the chart). But most of the rest stay here anyway (see question 4). Many of them throw away their passports and any identity documents making it almost impossible for them to be returned to whatever sh*t-hole they claim to have come from or actually have come from.

4. What proportion get returned to France?

Here’s the good bit. Can you see the tiny dark red bars on the graph below?

That’s the number of “Enforced Returns”. Pathetic, laughable and a total disgrace.

Lying Prime Minister Boris ‘Liar’ Johnson has told anyone hoping to come to Britain illegally: “We will send you back. If you come illegally, you are an illegal migrant and, I’m afraid, the law will treat you as such”. But, of course, Johnson was just being a lying liar like all our other politicians who don’t have to live in the violent, knife-crime-ridden, dystopian inner-city slums where illegal migrants tend to end up.

The Home Office has repeatedly stated that it is an “established principle that those in need of protection should claim asylum in the first safe country they reach”. But government ministers have contradicted this by saying that passing through a safe country like France without seeking refuge does not disqualify someone from being granted asylum in the UK.

Basically – if they get to Britain, they can stay in Britain leeching off taxpayers, earning money through criminality and raping white girls for the rest of their lives.

Still, when Labour get back into power at the next election, there probably won’t be any “Enforced Returns” at all and all illegal migrants will be given an amnesty. After all, remember that our Government (without telling us) signed the UN Compact for Safe and Orderly Migration

This, of course will encourage millions more to head our way.

Hopefully this short blog goes some way to answering the reader’s four questions.

The Wuhan Song

And here, to cheer us up for anyone who hasn’t already seen it, is my latest video – “THE WUHAN SONG”. It would be helpful if readers could use social media – Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc – to increase the number of people who watch the video:

How management consultants McKinsey betrayed America

(Wednesday blog)

More sad news from Iran

First some terribly sad news from the glorious people’s democratic Izlumic paradise on earth Iran. Sadly, at least 700 bearded crazies have died in the last couple of weeks after drinking methanol in the mistaken belief that Allah and methanol would protect them against the Covid-19 plague. A few others are blind, but not quite dead. I assume all those involved are men as I doubt Iranians would ‘waste’ a good Covid-19 cure on women.

So there are now more than 700 fewer bearded crazies to leap up and down screaming about their snackbar and yelling “death to America” and “death to Israel” and suchlike.

China conquers the world

In my blog about China taking over the world, there was one thing I forgot to mention. In Australia, the domestic airline Virgin Australia,has gone into administration thanks to the shutdown caused by the Chinese Covid-19 plague. And now it’s looking like Virgin Australia will be bought at a bargain-basement price by a Chinese company fronting for the Chinese Communist Party. It’s not a great idea to allow an enemy power to control one of your major airlines.

This was, of course, something I predicted in my video – THE WUHAN SONG. Here it is for anyone who hasn’t seen it yet:

McKinsey helps China conquer the world

I don’t know how many readers are familiar with the management consultancy, McKinsey and Co. McKinsey are the world’s leading management consultancy and have worked advising most major companies and governments.

In Britain, McKinsey were Blair’s favourite consultants and pocketed hundreds of millions of pounds of taxpayers’ money doing lucrative projects including reorganising the NHS and supposedly advising the Ministry of Defence how to buy military equipment more effectively with McKinsey’s horribly misnamed “Smart Acquisition” initiative which led to the MoD wasting billions buying military stuff that was worthless such as the Nimrod planes or ended up costing three or four times the original price such as the Type 45 destroyers. I have written about McKinsey’s UK work in my book PLUNDERING THE PUBLIC SECTOR.

Anyway, one country McKinsey have been helping is our sworn enemy – China – the country that is taking over the world.

McKinsey seems to have helped China in two main ways:

Firstly, McKinsey encouraged thousands of US companies to outsource their production to Chinese companies destroying much of US manufacturing and making millions of Americans unemployed.

McKinsey also seems to have been helping the Chinese Communist Party working through Chinese companies to buy up key Western companies and steal their intellectual property.

Here’s a rather jaw-dropping interview featuring Fox News’s Tucker Carlson interviewing a top McKinsey boss about what McKinsey were actually doing in China.

The video (at around 15 minutes) is longer than I would normally recommend. But it is quite revealing and possibly worth watching even if you’re not particularly interested in management consultants:

 

It’s not great being a chick in Iran

(Tuesday blog)

No, today’s blog is not about the oppression of girls in Iran:

It’s about how Iranian farmers have just buried alive about 16 million newly-hatched chicks while 33 percent of the country’s population live in absolute poverty and six percent are starving and their children are stunted from malnourishment:

The farmers burying the millions of chicks claim they have to do this because they can’t get the grain supplies to feed the birds. Meanwhile, the Iranian government is spending billions supporting all kinds of terrorist groups in the Middle East and in developing new weapons, missiles and military satellites. So, money doesn’t seem to be in such short supply as grain for poultry farmers.

We do know that Iranian farmers can’t get the grain they need. What we don’t know is whether the grain is really unavailable or whether it is being hoarded by a small circle of billionaire Iranian businessmen with close ties to the regime so that they can destroy poorer chicken farmers and consolidate their lucrative near monopoly over the Iranian poultry business.

Oh, and by the way, the people who made this and similar videos have reportedly been arrested for harming Iran’s image or some other similar ludicrous charge.

I rather doubt you’ll see this story reported on the West-hating, Izlumophiliac BBC or C4 News. Just imagine the outrage from the likes of C4 News’s Jon Snow, Kathy Newman, Matt Frei or the small, fat, sweaty guy with the long name if the USA had buried alive 16 million newly-hatched chicks. But when the Iranians do this, there’s not a cheep of protest from the (IMHO) loathsome, West-hating hypocrites at C4 News.

Anyway, here’s what’s happening to 16 million newly-hatched chicks in the glorious democratic, Izlumic people’s republic of Iran:

 

Has China already conquered us – but we just haven’t realised?

(Monday blog)

Today I just wanted to suggest that China has already conquered the USA, Europe, the Antipodes and Africa but that we just haven’t realised what has happened.

When I write “China”, I mean the corrupt Chinese Communist Party (CCCP). Of course, the CCCP doesn’t conquer directly using the Chinese military. Instead, the CCCP mainly works through Chinese companies. As Chinese companies know well, any Chinese company which doesn’t do what the CCCP tells them will usually find their top bosses disappear for a few weeks, then reappear to confess to corruption before being bundled off to prison or else ‘volunteering’ to become an organ donor.

Obviously, I can’t go into too much detail in a short blog. But I’ll try to touch on some of the main evidence of the success of the Chinese conquest.

Does China control Horrywood and America?

China’s Wanda Group owns Legendary Pictures, which produced Jurassic World and Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy, and also owns AMC Theatres, the largest cinema chain in the U.S. Moreover, Chinese cinemas brought in $9.2 billion last year, compared to just $910 million a decade ago. So, Horrywood executives have to be nice with China’s film officials who control which foreign titles get to play in the country’s more than 60,000 cinemas.

Even worse, China controls many top US politicians. Senate Republican  leader, Mitch McConnell and his Chinese wife have a long history of being members of the boards of major Chinese companies and are believed to have earned tens of millions from helping Chinese companies operate in the USA while also reportedly working to block any attempts to limit Chinese influence in America. Meanwhile over in the Democrats, Hunter Biden (son of presidential candidate Joe Biden) took several billion dollars from Chinese banks and investors to buy up US real estate and high tech companies for the Chinese.

Does China control the useless EU?

Meanwhile, over on this side of the Atlantic things aren’t much better. Nobody has any idea of how many EU companies China controls. In a previous blog, I noted that Chinese companies (basically the Chinese Communist Party) own stakes in 13 European ports:

And just this week, we learnt that the European Union rewrote and softened a report that detailed the coronavirus disinformation campaign carried out by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) after receiving pressure from apparatchiks in Beijing. Trade between China and the EU was estimated to total $1.6 billion per day, making the bloc China’s top trading partner. The EU has also been heavily reliant on Chinese medical supplies during the coronavirus pandemic — although much of it has been revealed to be faulty.

Meanwhile, in Britain the boss of Chinese telecoms company Huawei has warned the UK government not to block Huawei’s involvement in building the UK’s 5G network. With the UK leaving the EU and desperate to negotiate new trading relations with other countries, I’m sure UK politicians understand what Huawei’s threat means.

Australia and New Zealand have already been colonised

When I visited Australia and New Zealand about 4 years ago, I was astonished at the number of Chinese in the main cities and the number of businesses owned by the Chinese. China owns huge amounts of real estate, natural resources companies and food production businesses. At the beginning of January, just before admitting that the Covid-19 Chinese plague could be transmitted from human to human, Chinese companies (including incredibly a real estate company) hastily bought up millions of dollars of medical personal protective equipment (PPE) in Australia and shipped tons of the stuff back to China causing shortages in Australia.

Just over 30% of Australia’s exports go to China and Australia has just been warned by the Chinese ambassador that it could face an economic hit if it does not back down from launching an inquiry into China’s handling of the coronavirus catastrophe

China colonises Africa using ‘debt trap diplomacy’

And finally, here’s a video showing how China is colonising Africa through ‘debt trap diplomacy’:

 

Wouldn’t it be tragic if Israeli scientists discover a Covid-19 vaccine?

(weekend blog)

Busy, busy people?

So far the number of people viewing my latest video (link below) is pathetically small. I guess most of my readers are far too busy doing vitally important things and so don’t have a spare moment to spread the link to my latest Youtube video using FaceBook and Twitter and suchlike social media?

It must be great to be so busy doing vitally important things.

In future I’d better keep my blogs as short as possible because my readers are so incredibly busy that they simply can’t possibly spare even a few seconds to help increase the number of people viewing my latest video.

Let’s hope Israeli scientists aren’t first to find a vaccine

One thing that really keeps me awake at night is the thought that clever Israeli scientists might be first to develop a vaccine for the Chinese Covid-19 plague.

Why does this worry me? Because if the vaccine was developed by Israelis, then it’s clear that the slightly scientifically-challenged imams and mullahs and clerics and other bearded crazies from our favourite religion would claim that the vaccine was an evil plot by the hated (by them) Jews to kill members of our favourite religion.

In fact, here’s a typical bearded crazy preaching why the Coronavirus is actually good for the world because it has shut down pubs and whorehouses and is killing infidels and Shiites:

https://www.memri.org/tv/egyptian-preacher-hefnawi-ansari-coronavirus-blessing-causing-shut-down-whorehouses-annihilate-infidels

If Israeli scientists were first to develop an effective vaccine, then we would end up in a situation whereby everyone else in the world got vaccinated except for members of our utterly favouritest religion who would shun the Israelis’ ‘devil vaccine’ and rely on Allah for protection instead.

Wouldn’t that be like totally tragic? Of course it would!

Ramadanadingdong infections are the government’s fault

Speaking of our most favouritest religion, I’ve just seen a report on BBC Breakfast about how Britain’s millions of Religion of Peace followers will be celebrating Ramadanadingdong. The BBC presenter interviewed several members of Britain’s Religion of Peacefulness community and all claimed that, if members of their community got together to celebrate Ramadanathingimmyjig and infected each other with the Chinese Covid-19 plague, then it would be the British government’s fault for not communicating the need for social distancing. It would NOT be the fault of the Religion of Peacefulness’s followers for ignoring official social distancing advice.

I agree with the BBC that it would be the government’s fault. I’m sure you do too!

Stay home – Crash the Economy – Bankrupt Britain

Anyway, until next week, stay safe and remember the government’s advice:

Stay Home – Crash the Economy – Bankrupt Britain

And here’s my latest video for anyone who hasn’t seen it:

“The Wuhan Song” – my latest YouTube video

(Friday blog)

Well, my latest video “THE WUHAN SONG” was a complete waste of my time.

I asked readers “Please, please send the link out to your contacts and your network so we can increase the number of people who see it”.

The result? Many fewer people watched the video than read the blog.

I guess many readers couldn’t be bothered to even watch the video and probably 90% or more couldn’t be bothered to help out.

What a world we live in:

Can Joe Biden even remember his own name?

(Tuesday blog)

Today I wanted to try to deal with the torrent of lies we get in the UK mainstream media – especially the corrupt BBC and C4 News – about President Donald Trump. There are two main areas of lies – Trump’s reaction to the Chinese Covid-19 plague and Trump’s chances against Democrat Joe Biden in the November presidential election

Torrent of lies 1 – Trump has bungled the USA’s Covid-19 response

The UK media’s narrative is that Trump has bungled the USA’s Covid-19 response resulting in tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths. With gloating and glee, the BBC and C4 News love reporting how many Covid-19 deaths there are in the US compared to other countries, especially China:

Apparently, the UK mainstream media believe the ludicrously low fatality figures coming from the Chinese Communist Party propaganda department.

Throughout the Chinese Covid-19 plague crisis, the UK mainstream media have lambasted everything Trump has done. When Trump imposed a travel ban from China (long before other countries) the UK media accused him of racism and xenophobia. When the travel ban was extended to Europe and then the UK, there was once again outrage in the UK mainstream media.

Moreover, the UK mainstream media seem to have totally ‘forgotten’ the tsunami of criticism against Trump from the Democrats. When HHS Secretary Alex Azar declared a Public Health Emergency Joe Biden called it “Hysterical Xenophobia” and “Fear Mongering”.

And when Trump started to propose social distancing, the mainstream media and Democrats accused him of over-reacting. One of Trump’s fiercest critics, Bill De Blasio, Democrat Mayor of New York seems to have forgotten that he (De Blasio) originally claimed that the Chinese plague was not particularly contagious and was “no worse than a common cold”.

After Trump in January declared a “humanitarian and security crisis” during a primetime Oval Office address, Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer said Trump was working to “manufacture a crisis, stoke fear and divert attention from the turmoil in his administration.”

Democrat party leader Tom Perez also called it “manufactured.” Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., described it as a “‘crisis’ that doesn’t exist.” Sen. Elizabeth Warren tweeted at the time that “we’re not falling” for the “fake crisis”.

But now, as Trump works to try to lift the lockdown, the UK mainstream media seems to have ‘forgotten’ the massive opposition Trump faced from the Democrats and the Democrat-loving UK mainstream media when trying to deal with the Chinese Covid-19 plague.

Torrent of lies 2 – Joe Biden will beat Trump in November

The other narrative we’re getting from the UK mainstream media is that the Democrats are rallying around their hero, Joe Biden, and that all the opinion polls (usually conducted by Democrat-supporting CNN or MSNBC) show Biden is well ahead of Trump to win the November presidential election.

Hmmm. No mention is ever made in the UK mainstream media of Biden’s rapidly worsening mental health. Biden is clearly suffering from dementia – he stumbles over words, forgets what he’s meant to be saying and is often totally incoherent. But we hear nothing about this in any UK mainstream media – they’re all united in their loathing of Trump and their adoration of Biden who has been blessed by Saint Obama.

Here, for your Tuesday morning enlightenment, is the truth of the shocking reality of Biden’s rapidly-advancing mental decline:

Chinese money buys corrupt puppets at Amnesty International and the WHO

(Monday blog)

Never give any of your money to Amnesty International

Gradually we’re discovering that the dirty, corrupt, lying disease-ridden Chinese pretty much own most of the international organisations which we might have thought were independent of any country’s rulers.

Here’s a tweet from Amnesty International at the end of last week:

I cannot be 100% sure this is genuine. But I’ve traced it back to what seems to be Amnesty USA’s Twitter account. Moreover, given how so many supposedly charitable organisations have been taken over by West-hating, globalist, Soros-funded scumbags, I’m tempted to think the Amnesty tweet is genuine

If it is genuine, I don’t even need to comment on what a disgrace Amnesty International’s grovelling subservience to the Chinese Communist Party is to the hundreds of thousands who will be killed by the Chinese Wuhan plague nor to the tens of millions who will be impoverished by the Chinese Wuhan plague.

Not everyone was impressed by the cowardly Amnesty International’s sycophantic licking of Chinese anuses:

Or there was this:

Never, repeat never give any money to China’s glove puppet – Amnesty International – ever again.

Why is the UK giving so much money to the China stooges at the WHO?

Almost daily the UK media – especially the BBC and C4 News – gloatingly report that the USA has more Covid-19 deaths than China. Moreover, the UK Government continues to quote corrupt, Sinophiliac World Health Organisation (WHO) figures and advice and carries on throwing our money at WHO bureaucrats:

Yup, according to this chart, the bankrupt, heavily-indebted UK is the second largest contributor to the worthless WHO. But other sources suggest completely different figures:

I think the difference between the two charts is that less than a quarter of the WHO’s budget comes from what are called “assessed contributions” and the rest comes from voluntary contributions from member countries. So the first chart is probably the most accurate as it includes both assessed and voluntary contributions.

But while the UK grovels to the supposed ‘experts’ at the WHO, who have got everything wrong about the Chinese Covid-19 plague, in Australia questions are beginning to be asked about why Western countries are still giving hundreds of millions to the utterly corrupt, utterly useless, China-loving WHO which seems to have become part of the Chinese Communist party’s propaganda department:

Is the Chinese plague making the Crazies even crazier?

(weekend blog)

Why do politicians always f**k things up?

First I’d just like to mention a comment a reader made to yesterday’s blog about retirement homes.

According to the reader, the sector was pretty much ruined when the Labour Government legislated that all residents of care homes should have their own private toilet/bathroom. This was disastrous for many smaller care homes as the costs of installing toilets/bathrooms for every resident in older buildings was prohibitive and many closed down. This led to fewer providers and thus increases in care costs as the bigger care-home operators consolidated their hold on the market. And now our useless politicians are scratching their empty heads wondering how to avoid increasing care-home costs bankrupting us!

More recently we had over 90% of our incompetent politicians voting for idiot Ed Miliband’s 1998 disastrous Climate Change Act. This forces the UK government by law to commit national economic suicide by reducing greenhouse gas emissions by at least 100% of 1990 levels (net zero) by 2050. This has increased energy costs, driven manufacturing to our enemy China and resulted in hundreds of thousands of UK job losses. And now our useless politicians are scratching their empty heads wondering why we became so dependent on our enemy China for manufactured goods!

And even more recently, our politicians seem to have accidentally destroyed what little was left of the British car industry. People don’t buy new cars if they’re afraid the car they’re buying may soon be taxed off the road or even declared illegal. I wonder how many readers know if and when diesel cars will be illegal? I wonder how many readers know if and when petrol cars will be illegal? I wonder how many readers know if and when hybrid cars will be illegal? Personally, I’ve no idea and fear that if Labour ever got into power, there would be even more restrictions on cars and the dates for banning certain types of vehicle would be brought forward. So I suspect many people like me are holding off from buying a new car due to the uncertainty created by our posturing politicians. And now our useless politicians are scratching their empty heads wondering why car sales in Britain are collapsing and thousands of car industry jobs are being lost!

Are the Crazies getting even crazier?

I don’t have a new story this weekend. But never fear. You can always rely on our friends from the Religion of Fabulosity and Peacefulness to step up when you need yet another example of total derangement.

Here’s part of a recent sermon by one of the Religion of Fantasticness’s and Tolerance’s leading intellectuals:

Houthi Sheikh Ibrahim Al-Ubeidi said in a Friday sermon in Sanaa, Yemen that aired on Al-Eman TV (Houthis – Yemen) that Allah brought COVID-19 upon the West, China, and other Asian countries so that they would have to wear face masks, as punishment for having forced Muslim women to expose their faces by legislating laws against the wearing of the hijab. He said that these people have become arrogant and forgotten Allah, and he led the audience in a chant: “Allah Akbar! Death to America! Death to Israel! Cursed be the Jews! Victory to Islam!”

Sheikh Ibrahim Al-Ubeidi: Take a look at France, Britain, Italy, and Europe in general. Take a look at the West, the United States, and China. Take a look at the countries of east Asia, and at other countries. They legislate laws concerning the hijabs of Muslim women. The decreed that these hijabs must come off and that the faces of Muslim women must be revealed, even though Allah ordered women to cover their faces. (The Quran says) that ‘They should draw their veils over their bosoms’ and that they should be modest and cover themselves. They must put on a hijab that prevents others from seeing them. This is what Allah ordered Muslim women to do.

But what did (these countries) do? They made these women reveal their faces, and lo and behold, Allah has covered their faces with those masks that both women and men are wearing. They are all hiding behind these masks, terrified of the disease. This is all because they have become arrogant and forgotten Allah. Allah Akbar! Death to America! Death to Israel! Cursed be the Jews! Victory to Islam! Allah Akbar! Death to America! Death to Israel! Cursed be the Jews! Victory to Islam! Allah Akbar! Death to America! Death to Israel! Cursed be the Jews! Victory to Islam”

And our rulers think we can ever reason with these crazies?!?!?!

Beware the bleating of the care home multi-millionaires

(Friday blog)

Quite rightly, most of us have been impressed at how many front-line NHS workers are risking their lives working with Covid-19 Chinese plague victims, often in difficult conditions and often with insufficient personal protective equipment (PPE). And at least 20 NHS workers have lost their lives to the Chinese plague which accidentally leaked from a virus research laboratory in Wuhan.

Jumping on the ‘angels and heroes’ bandwagon?

But I’m beginning to become a little bit queasy at how the Social Care sector seems to be trying to jump on the healthcare NHS ‘angels and heroes’ bandwagon.

Daily in the media we see care home bosses bleating about not having sufficient PPE for their staff and not having support from the Government.

To be sure, caring for people with learning difficulties or with dementia is a pretty miserable and exhausting profession. I know because a member of my family works in care homes and in palliative care. The shifts are long, changing adult nappies or trying to calm down loads of crazy grannies or being asked to wank off horny but impotent grandads isn’t most people’s idea of a fun working environment. And few care homes pay a penny more than the minimum wage they can get away with.

Moreover, while some care homes provide two or three days training for their staff, others (especially care staff agencies) provide no training at all. Instead they just tell new recruits to watch a few training videos from companies like Social Care TV.

So, I’ve no doubt that front-line care home staff are doing an admirable job in difficult circumstances for pathetically small rewards.

Money, money, money?

But care homes aren’t NHS hospitals. They are mostly privately-owned and privately-run and are in business to make a profit. As one report on the sector warned “Many care home operators are structured as private businesses, with complex ownerships, including individual or institutional investors, hidden from view”.

Average care home costs for a patient with dementia can very from £30,000 a year for an absolute dump to £60,000 a year for a more top-of-the-range service:

Let’s just take one company I know a little about – we’ll call it the LCG.

The LCG specialises in dementia care and owns four care homes – A****** (45 beds), B********* (72 beds), R********* (69 beds) and S****** (48 beds). That’s 234 beds in total. At the last series of Care Quality Commission inspections, 208 of these 234 beds were occupied – an occupation rate of 88%.

The LCG positions itself as providing top-of-the-range living conditions. So let’s assume that the LCG charges near top-of-the-range rates of say £55,000 a year. Then with 208 residents, the LCG is taking in £11.4m a year in fees. Specialist consultants in the care home business have calculated that the average care home profitability is around 8%, though industry sources suspect that profit margins are actually much higher due to a whole lot of mysterious extra charges.

But even if we stick with the 8% profitability, this would mean that the LCG is making profits of at least £900,000 a year for its owners. And there are many care home groups larger than the LCG

One might have thought that companies making this kind of money could afford to buy PPE for their own minimum-wage staff instead of bleating endlessly about how the Government is supposedly letting them down.
