    Norman Brennan retired police officer having served 30 years. This is an important item. His opinion is shared on this site.
    He is of the opinion that events will “ignite” a countrywide uprising any time now which they cannot quell. I would modify his view slightly: he mentions all the routine stuff that the police deal with daily but forgot to mention their exhaustive efforts on Hate Crimes and their falling crime figures.
    Get prepared. It will happen.

    It is literally a ‘Black Hole’ gravitationally drawing everything surrounding, in. Inevitable.

    Sorry Pug, you posted whilst I was typing.

    There’s no shadow of a doubt that the media, particularly Sky and The BBC have been inciting violence.
    I think it was Saturday evening on BBC2, though it could equally and easily be any other evening, they showed one programme after another depicting white Britain in a terrible light.
    We had the slave trade, with (natch) no explanation that Africans began the awful business and continued with it long after Britain’s involvement.
    Then we had a piece of pure propaganda…I think it was called “I’m not your negro”.
    Followed by the now ubiquitous piece about Stephen Lawrence and how he’d been killed in a racist attack and how the Met police let down his family. It was an utter disgrace!

    FFS, there were race riots going on the length and breadth of the country, marches, irate, inarticulate, ill educated youths attacking the police and tearing down statues and our state broadcaster decides it’s a good idea to give us an entire evening of race bating.

    I understand that forty police officers were injured last night. Victims of black violence, stirred up by the typical self loathing white “liberals” who say how much they adore diversity, but tend to live in leafy suburbs.

    Scum!

    BBC WEB-SITE Watch #1 – Well, that didn’t last long

    I see the NASCAR Noose truth has disappeared from the BBC w-s in 24 hours. That compares with several days – think it was at least four, maybe five – for the original story. Speaks volumes about the BBC, its attitude to journalistic integrity and quality & equality of coverage, etc., etc., that does.

    Here we go again. Today’s UK death figures are 149.
    Every day for weeks now the figure has been lower than the corresponding figures 7 days beforehand, but not a squeak of recognition from the Bellends Broadcasting Corporation.
    But today they have to remind us that the 149 is a massive increase on the 137 of last Wednesday.
    They did the same back in, I believe, April when we were aiming for 100,000 tests a day. One day we did 99,500 approx and the headline was “Tests fail to meet target again”.
    Several days later we managed 101,000 which received the banner “Tests narrowly exceed 100,000 target”.
    Why can’t they just curl up under a stone.
    Oh, and apologies to any bell-ends who don’t wish to be associated with this scum.

    TOADY Watch #2 – The BBC don’t do science any more

    The whole point of the antibody testing is to monitor immunity, I would have thought. This whole Covid-19 thing is very new and everything has, to an extent, had to be learned from scratch.

    The Government’s desire to test all NHS workers makes sense to me. You have a discrete group that:
    1. is constantly exposed to infection,
    2. can easily be monitored,
    3. can respond quickly to a re-infection, and,
    4. can establish if past infection provides immunity by constantly checking the ICU nurses & doctors.

    Of course, on TOADY the BBC didn’t see all that and just wanted to Bash Bojo instead.

    So Rebecca Wrong Daily receives a mild slap on the wrist from blandest of the bland leader Kier Starmer.

    He has utterly utterly failed to root anti semitism out of his party because he hasn’t actually done anything about it, other than of course to sweep it under the carpet and pretend it isn’t there any more.

    He could have removed the whip from Wrong Daily, but I think as many of us have seen by the appointments Starmer has made, his policy is just to keep quiet and hope no one notices – with of course the coneivance of the media.

    Which brings me on to a second subject, that of the appallingly Nazi acting profession, who will almost certainly make sure that Maxine Peake finds future employment for her disgusting Fascist politics, whilst Lawrence Fox who made a perfectly reasonable point will almost certainly never find work again in that profession.

    The country is broke – it’s time for a luvvie tax of an extra 10% on higher rate taxpayers in the creative ‘industries’ including the media.

    In my area, a largely peaceful Asian drug-dealer was stopped on the A38 after a 5 car police chase.

    Local News report.

    https://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/news/derby-news/derby-drug-dealer-rammed-police-4257453

    He had £1500 worth of cannabis in the car.
    He had £1000 in cash in the car.
    He had a stun gun in the car.
    He had previously beaten his partner so badly she bled internally for several hours.
    He caused £41,000 of damage to the pursuing police cars trying to evade capture.
    He drove the wrong way down the main A38 dual carriageway to try to evade arrest.
    He was driving his girlfriends car because he was banned.

    The judge gave him maximum jail of 23 months so probably 8 at most in real terms.

    Nothing, nothing, nothing on the BBC

    Another man flew a plane with an innocuous banner over a football pitch. Lost his job and his girlfriends job.

      Twenty-three months is ridiculously lenient. Not knowing what the exact charges were, i can’t determine whether that was the maximum sentence permitted by the relevant statute(s) or whether that was the maximum sentence the court could impose. If it was the latter, it begs the question as to why the case was not remitted to a superior court for sentencing.

      – Usman Karolia, 19
      – Ahmed Karolia, 23,
      – Raja Nawaz, 18
      , all appeared at Leeds Magistrates Court today.

      All three men were charged in relation to an alleged incident on Park Croft, Batley, at about 10.28pm on the evening of Sunday June 21 in which Mr Gledhill, 20, of Heckmondwike, was stabbed during fighting on the street”

      Two other males also suffered serious but not life threatening injuries in the incident.

      A youth 17 is still being held on suspicion of murder and attempted murder in relation to the enquiry.”

    BBC R4 presenter questioning someone who’s name escaped me over the Rebecca LB firing.

    The guest made it clear from the start that the reason for the sacking was totally justified on anti-semitism grounds alone and that it was deplorable to try to tie the Death of a man in the USA to a connection to Police training tactics possibly gained from Israelis for political ends.

    Our interviewer however was having none of that. He went on..

    Interviewer: “but don’t you agree RLB didn’t endorse the entire tweet she “inadvertanly” re-tweeted.”

    Guest: “No it was anti-semitic and she refused to retract it, that’s why she had to go.”

    Interviewer: “Do you agree that this sacking represents the beginning of a rout of left wing members of the labour Party”

    Guest; “No it was anti-semitic and she refused to retract it, that’s why she had to go.”

    Interviewer: “So no suggestion of a move to oust her because of her left-wing views?”

    Guest: “No it was anti-semitic and she refused to retract it, that’s why she had to go.”

    The Beeboid just couldn’t understand how to deal with that and gave up, so that’s certainly the way to handle them.

    Police officers had to flee the ‘street party’ mob in S London.

    (In Brixton, so we know who was involved.)

    Having set a precedent of fleeing during the BLM riots, the police will find it hard to claw back respect, and the savages now know they’re practically immune from the law.

    The BBC helpfully explain that it’s everyone’s fault except the savages’:

    – Community activist Michelle Killington said she “doesn’t agree” with what happened but said the clash shows local children need more support.

    – “We have no space in Angell Town to actually work on young people and help organise events in a safe way.”

    – “The whole thing should have been shut down earlier”

    – young people told me there is “no relationship” with the police and the community officers they knew don’t come around anymore.

    – I met a mum who said she’s been campaigning for a new youth centre. “The kids don’t have anywhere to go”, she said.

    Kevin Hurley, former Detective Chief Superintendent says the combination of hot weather, “the inflammatory powder-keg stuff with Black Lives Matter” and a “completely false narrative” portrayed by the mainstream media, led to last night’s incidents in Brixton where a number of police officers were injured.

    He says police officers adjust their behaviour to the population they are policing, telling Dan Wootton
    that whenever black people are stopped and searched, “you immediately get pushback, attitude and hostility”. Mr Hurley added that police officers therefore have to take a very “assertive position” to control the situation “because you don’t want to get injured”.

    The former police officer said police chiefs needs to speak up about the real need for societal change
    “and help and support black people to get their place in society.”

    Is it just me or has anyone else found the coverage of the Bournemouth beach crowds pretty amusing, and typical BBC / MSM drivel.
    There were riots in Brixton last night and BLM anarchy recently all over the Western world, but what should the BBC focus on, the sunbathers at Bournemouth beach. Apparently it was a “major incident” which “overwhelmed emergency services”.
    How the hell did it overwhelm emergency services, surely not everyone got badly sunburnt!
    Personally, I don’t blame people for wanting a trip to the beach after the last few months, especially as BLM protestors get free rein to ignore social distancing. I expect the sunlight has done wonders for their Vitamin D and immune system!
    In any case I wouldn’t take the pictures at face value, the right camera lens can distort an image considerably and make people appear closer together than they really are. I wouldn’t trust the MSM photographers any more than the rest of them!

    Cambridge University backs academic who tweeted ‘White Lives Don’t Matter’ – and promotes her to professor – after she received barrage of abuse and death threats

    Dr Priyamvada Gopal was hit by a wave of abusive messages and death threats
    The academic tweeted: ‘I’ll say it again. White Lives Don’t Matter. As white lives.’
    Cambridge University defended rights of academic to express lawful opinions

    Prof Gopal was temporarily suspended from Twitter under its ‘hateful content policy’ after the social media platform upheld several complaints made against her.

    The ban has since been lifted. ???????

    A petition to ‘Fire Cambridge Professor for Racism’ has garnered more than 13,000 signatures over the last 24 hours.

    The organiser of the petition, Renee Myers, who is from the US, said on the page: “Allowing Ms Gopal to continue lecturing at Cambridge sets a precedent that this behavior [sic] is acceptable and welcome amongst teaching faculty. Racism cannot be tolerated.”

      bans lifted
      Yes, the typical antifa trick is to hit REPORT next to all your tweets, and make malicious complaints
      This triggers moderation from AI or somebody in the Philippines/India who not being a native British speaker will err on side of accepting the fake complaint.

      Looks like this time people tried this on her.
      But being a metroliberal she can get actual management to take a second look and reverse the decision
      BTW check the new undercover footage from Project Veritas of Facebook moderator’s saying they deliberately rule maliciously against Trump supporters.

    “Black man gotta lotta problems

    And nobody wants
    To go to jail

    White riot, I want to riot
    White riot, a riot of our own
    White riot, I want to riot
    White riot, a riot of our own

    All the power’s in the hands
    Of people rich enough to buy it
    While we walk the street
    Too chicken to even try it

    And everybody’s doing
    Just what they’re told to
    And nobody wants
    To go to jail

    BBCnews did title a video ‘Black lives matter, white lives matter’
    ; says Talib Kweli
    … But you see that was in the time of Obama in 2014.

    1m00s Talib Kweli
    "it's a shame that we have to actually say something as simple and basic
    as that *black lives matter, white lives matter*
    .. Everybody's lives matter
    but your white parents are not watching their children be shot down by the police in the street"

    The situation in 2020 UK
    #1 The attitude of youths to the police matters
    … that hostility from youths is reflected by the police
    .. whereas friendly public have an easy relationship mostly
    #2 That police/media & establishment do demonstrate inverted racism
    in the way they run from certain categories of crime : gypsy crime, illegal immigrant crime & crimes like grooming gang crime perpetrated against working class whites.

    Funny old thing isn’t it – an RAF aircraft has a make over to make it more ‘british ‘ but all the MSM wants to do is to rubbish it and pray for it to break . I bet they’d celebrate if it crashed …. but it would sell a few more papers and increase BBC viewing figures ….

    Did anyone catch the party political broadcast on behalf of BLM during this evening’s news at 10? It was quite breathtakingly one-sided, even claiming the marches were largely peaceful.

      Pug,
      Apart from a few, a very few, blacks cannot be left in charge of anything. Blacks form the largest group of, ‘missing’ parents so, if that very basic responsibility eludes most of them, who would put a black in a position of control/power? Ultimately, simply look at Africa.

    I’ll never buy a newspaper – but viewing the coverage of people going to the beach makes me think the papers just want the containment to go on and on.

    Are there signs of an increase in people reporting covid infection ? Will there be in 10 days from now as people go out and to the beach ? That will be about the 3rd of July … just before the next stage of normality returning …

    …. the BBCMSM is praying for more covid victims . It wants people to die so that the government – which invented the Chinese virus – can be blamed . I realise the insanity of what I’m writing – but I sincerely believe the political drive of the BBC outweighs any real concern it has about the life of individuals – other than those it places on a pedestal – you know who they are …

      Yeah, Fed, if enough people go to the seaside and buy fish & chips, the chippies may run out of white bags and wrap paper and have to resort to buying newspapers to put the customers food in. Plus, a sun shade, if too hot, can be made out of a newspaper and here’s one that Blue Peter made earlier.

      (FT reports on paper thin profits [geddit? ho – ho] in the newspaper industry today.)

    If you were working for a local authority or the civil service you might expect to have some restrictions on political activity in your conditions of employment as that could conflict with the requirement to carry out impartially the wishes of the elected authority.

    Similarly a company engaged in the communications business might put restrictions on its employees use of social media as that might conflict with the desire of the company to appear to be impartial.

    Strange then that the ‘Burnley Two’, working for companies that no-one has heard of and consequently highly unlikely to have political activity or use of social media in their conditions of employment, should find themselves dismissed, allegedly, for their political or social media activities.

    Strange also that those working for the BBC, where there are restrictions on political and social media but which don’t seem to be policed, aren’t supportive of the ‘Burnley Two’.

    First they came for the ‘Burnley Two’ but we didn’t come from Burnley.
    Then they came for us but there was no-one left that cared.

    Is there no-one prepared to defend principles, what used to be one of our ‘values’?

    Over at Unherd Paul Embery says under the heading, ‘Who dares resist the thought police?’

    Which brings me to Jake Hepple. I have little doubt that Mr Hepple is a bit of an oaf. I’m not sure what he was trying to achieve when he arranged to have a plane trailing a “White Lives Matter” banner fly over a football stadium in Manchester when a match was taking place. He may have simply wished to make mischief or court publicity. Or perhaps his actions were genuinely intended as a sardonic rebuke to the Black Lives Matter movement and some of its more questionable aims and tactics (which, in spite of what we are led to believe, do not command unanimous support throughout the country).
    Whatever his motives, it was a pretty silly thing to do. Of itself, however, the message plainly wasn’t offensive. White lives, after all, do matter. Taken in isolation, it is a statement with which few would disagree.

    So to hopefully avoid being stoned by the mob, (he is wasting his time). he lobs a few stones of his own at Jake Hebble before half-heartedly defending Hebble’s right to free-expression.

    Should we be allowed to say things that other people disagree with?

    Yes! Yes! Yes! A thousand times Yes! Nothing more needs to be said.

    Illuminating analysis from a former shadow minister describing the Long-Bailey sacking as “a dangerous moment for the party”.
    I’d say Starmer all but throwing the next election with the poor tactical decision of knee photo opportunity was an infinitely more “dangerous moment for the party”. But what do I know, I’m just one of the poor saps that turns out to vote.

      What an interesting and obvious point . The posties know who hasn’t got a TV licence because they deliver the threatening letters ….. and if an area has the same postie each day they’ll spot the growing number of ‘dissenters ‘like us ….

      It can’t be too long before the rising number of licence cancellations makes enforcement impossible – and if I recall one in ten of all crime cases at magistrates courts are from failing to fund the BBC …..

      Elsewhere – the resistance against the’ Marxist ‘coloured ‘movement’ ( I won’t refer to it by its initials ) is growing – helped a lot by the return of footy where the commentators on all channels seem to have been told to lay it on with a trowel.

      Much footy supporter eye rolling going on – and if you watch you know the game won’t start until at least 2 minutes after it’s due because of all the clapping , kneeling , standing still – and then a drinks break – before the millionaires start kicking the ball …..
