    The devil is in the detail.

    In a column in the Telegraph today by Michael Deacon, eagle-eyed Mr Deacon asserts that, during the Meghan interview, Oprah introduced examples from the British print media of ‘unrelenting pervasive attacks’ presented as the kind of stuff that led to Megxit.

    Indeed Mr Deacon recognised one of his own headlines.
    Just one tiny problem.
    Mr Deacon wrote the column nearly a year AFTER Meghan’s announcement to step down from royal duties.

    Pretty hard to argue that a newspaper column contributed to a decision to quit the country when it had not even been written at the time, I think you’ll agree.

    Has Jess Phillip just scored another ‘own goal’ for Labour?
    The trouble with Labour is they only listen to the people that shout the loudest .
    They should get out of their ‘bubbles’ and speak to the ordinary working people. If I was a Labour MP I would be worried , very worried.
    “Lessons top be learned” – Labour ?

    Not BBC but it may have been.
    On ITV news we had in depth coverage of the Clapham murder.
    And then we had much coverage of violence against women, Jess Philips reading out the names of murdered women, the ‘Reclaim the Night’ campaign at the time of the Sutcliffe murders. This took 10 minutes as the first news item.

    Half an hour later……on local ITV London news, we had news of a male killed in a knife attack (quel surprise) and the report took all of 30 seconds. What’s the ratio of male to female murder victims, 2 to 1? 3 to 1?

    All murders are equal but clearly some are more equal than others.

    PS i, a white male of mature years, take great care walking alone in the dark, especially in unfamiliar places. I keep near lighting, keep out of the shadows, nooks and crannies, keep space from strangers especially if in groups. Should I complain to someone and seek the support of a pressure group?

    The media and certain MPs are going Hell for leather over the horrible murder of the young lady abducted in Clapham the other night.
    A member of the House of Lords has even suggested that all men should face a 6pm curfew. Quite mind boggling…

    And the always reasonable Jess Phillips read out the names of female murder victims, killed by men in the last year. Truly shocking.

    However, one thing bothers me…
    We’ve had decades of mass rapes and murders perpetuated on under age white girls by Pakistani paedo gangs and not a bloody finger was raised to halt them.

    Indeed, Labour MPs and Labour controlled councils did everything within their power to obfuscate and obstruct any investigations. Needless to say the media were silent and the police bloody useless. If anyone raised the issue they were threatened. The criminals were protected by the establishment. All in the name of cultural cohesion.

    Nick Griffin hi-lighted these ghastly crimes and for his troubles both the BBC and the West Yorkshire police conspired to imprison him for up to seven years.

    Now we have a vile murder, seemingly committed by a middle-aged white man and suddenly everybody is up in arms…

    I wonder why?

      We recently had a couple of extremely violent and barbaric murders by groups of males in broad daylight which hardly even made headlines. We all know why : they were not white.
      Now this murder is suddenly the subject of multiple headlines. And he is white.
      My Android news feed showed me an article entitled ‘Women recently killed by men in London’ from The London Standard today. Of course they didn’t go any deeper than that. The enormous elephant in that room was the names of those who did the murdering. Not many of Anglo-Saxon derivation.
      I am absolutely pig-sick of all these double standards. I have completely disconnected from the media in this country.

    I see that there is a pathetic campaign, no doubt BBC approved, to get people to answer ‘European’ to Question 14 of the 2021 Census.

    As ‘Europe’ isn’t a nation that would be an invalid response, something that Ms. Spring should writing about, probably posted under a picture of herself wearing a paper hat made from the form, (any excuse).

    Of course these ‘no nation’ people are frauds, the ‘anywheres’, Hong Kong Marriot, Los Angeles Mariott, Moscow Marriot, Melbourne Marriot, Stavanger Marriot, Citizens of the World.

    They will delight in telling you that their children have dual nationality, that their spouse is of a different race, their garden Japanese, their house Swedish, their wine Australian, their cheese French and their dog German!

    What they don’t seem to realise is that these things that they delight in are the products of the ‘somewheres’, not just one generation of ‘somwheres’ but many. Logically and ultimately the philosophy of the ‘anywheres’ is that their drink will be Coca-Cola, their home rented and from Saturday to Thursday their work will be in the standard tractor factory of current need, (anywhere). Friday will be spent on their face at the local Mosque.

    Value the ‘somewheres’ while we still have them. Answer Question 14 sensibly.

    Put your truncheon away, son…

    Toxic masculinity edition

    He “flashed” 4 days earlier‘ (Sun) and I’m afraid the tabloid doesn’t mean this copper turned his flashing blue lights on: ‘Sarah suspect linked to sex offence… did cops fail to act‘ – they do tend to close ranks and to look after their own.

    This comes in a week when the Mail has informed us how the police have apparently taken leave of their senses: ‘Police Taser girl aged TEN: Youngest ever UK victim is hit with 50,000-volt stun gun while “threatening mother with a hammer” in private gated estate

    Apparently the British police now think they are living in Sergeant Stan Jablonski’s Hill Street Blues: “Let’s do it to them, before they do to us”

    ‘Policeman’s “sex crime missed by Met officers”‘ (Times) – I think I know what is properly meant by that rather suggestive headline… and it certainly needs some serious investigation.

    ‘Everard suspect “exposed himself in restuarant”‘ (Telegraph) and we’ll have no Larry Grayson-inspired humour here, thank you. There’s another one for the teenagers.

    I thought restuarants were still in lockdown? I won’t be rushing back if rozzer’s meat and two veg are on the menu. The Telegraph report goes on: ‘Officer arrested on suspicion of murder accused of “flashing” in fast-food outlet‘ – that’s a downgrade, but still, it’s enough to put you off your Gregg’s sausage roll.

    The supposeded politically balanced ‘i‘ paper seizes the opportunity to jump on a campaign bandwagon: ‘Open letter to ‘i’ signed by more than 200 women – including MPs and activists – calls on Government and police to act against violence‘ – that’s supposed to be their job. I do hope this lot have complained about the police dishing it out to the 10-year-old schoolgirl.

    Ladies, things could be worse: ‘Afghan girls “banned from public signing”‘ (Telegraph)

    Blindfolded and sleep-deprived: Nazanin reveals torture in Iran‘ (Times) – what, no scare quotes?

    Watch the likes of Jess Philips MP turn this case into an anti-male media crusade. The Guardian frontpage is already banging on about 118 women apparently killed by men last year. How many male suicides caused by broken relationships, lost homes and lost children last year we wonder? Let’s keep the focus on the bad cop here please.

    And don’t imagine this reflexive anti-male thinking is confined to the lefty press: ‘Male violence is something we live with. Whoever we are. Wherever we go‘ (Telegraph) – and so the press is quite comfortable tarring an entire group with the same brush. Alter that headline to accuse, let’s say all Travellers, blanket accused of something as innocuous as, say littering, and the Telegraph would receive howls of protest. But men have no one to speak up for them and must suck it up.

    Amusingly the same Guardian frontpage that purports to campaign on behalf of women to protect them from men also features: ‘Eddie Izzard: I’ve been promoted to she. It’s an honour‘ – just me or do we notice a weird contradiction here?

    Back to the murder case: ‘Suspect’s hospital dash after head injury in cell‘ (Daily Mirror) – perhaps he saw that edition of the Guardian and the frontpage Eddie Izzard quote… and his head just exploded…

    Anyway, I’ll pick up my handbag now and be off to join my sisters… bloody men!

    The Cumbria proposed Coal Mine affair. When approved, is purely for coking coal for steel production. It seems to me that for the critical production of steel products such as steel for weapons, tanks, warships etc the supply of coking coal should remain, ‘in-house’ for the UK. We don’t want to be beholden to other countries for the steel making ingredients, much as China would favour this. Seems the “Environmental Groups” are hostile to the mine and being communist inspired and no doubt financed and managed by China, you can understand their approach. All said and done, the survival of the country comes first. Let’s see if Boris acknowledges this and denies China their ploy to strip the UK bare of any totally independent steel production.

    Who controls the country? Boris or the communist backed ‘Green’ groups? We’ll see.

        The Coal is not for use as a fuel , it is converted into coke for steel production. If we need steel, and we certainly do, then we will have to import it from China or India where “green” ideas there are ‘for the birds’. I do not think many politicians know or realise this?
        We need steel for defence purposes, ships, arms and wait for it, to produce wind turbines.

    I see the qualifier ‘without any evidence’ is now a ‘tool in the box’ and is being appended in this instance to any sentence which the clots are mentioned. I don’t know what evidence is actually possible without a clinical trial of millions because the number is so low. Not happening with the other vaccines could count I suppose. It’s a meaninglessess thing to add.
    And I also notice that it is called the ‘Oxford vaccine’ for good news stories and ‘AstraZeneca’ for this bad news !. No pictures of Sarah Gilbert in this article.

    The use of terms such as ‘without any evidence ‘ Or ‘there is no evidence to support this ‘ ..
    …… is good evidence of the BBC taking a non objective view on a particular issue , event or comment . It helps our cause.
    One of the problems is that there is a wide level of propaganda ‘ spin ranging from ignoring events completely to a well placed word to shape the view of the reader .

    It’s a bit like the ‘newsreader ‘head shake ‘ when the words are bland but the tone and body movement sends a signal of approval or disapproval that those watching are either unaware of or not tuned into .

    Another example of the world made crazy by modern communication and social media. The unfortunate probable murder of a woman in Kent has led a Green Party member of the HoL to remark that she is considering a 6 pm curfew for all men throughout the country. There are also endless calls for ‘something to be done to make women feel safe’.
    Leaving aside the obvious point that very little if anything has been done to protect white teenage girls from the predations if Muslim men, I’m sure that women are in no more danger than they have been historically , probably less. But this doesn’t stop the bandwagon from creaking into action which no doubt makes millions of women feel that they really are unsafe.
    This is just the latest example of how social media and the MSM are destroying the fabric of society. Of course another critically important aspect of this trend is that the offender must not be one of any protected group and the offense must fit the Woke agenda. If not the MSM suppresses the story.

      You beat me to it regarding the differing treatment of Muslim child abusers and a policeman suspected of abduction and murder. If the pc is guilty, all that we read seems to indicate that he has been suffering from a mental illness for some time. TWATo had loads of wimmin prattling on about male privilege and even marital abuse, which latter has sfa to do with third party abduction, likely rape or other abuse, and murder.

      Al Beeb is full on in seemingly wanting action…against men in general. When it is Muslim men in the main raping children, they are silent, and Muslim men committing acts of terror are suggested to have mental problems; suggested only.

      There is context to Baroness Jones
      rhetorical speech “There should be a 6pm curfew for men”
      she was responding to the Met Police saying that a vigil march should be before 6pm for Covid safety
      and she was trying to flip it around

      She of course is sexist in assuming ONLY women would demonstrate against bad man.

      I was born a biological man, but am thinking of self identifying as a wimmin’. Presumably I would be exempt from any such curfew. But if I broke it and was arrested, I would insist on being searched by a wimmin’ police offer. And if convicted and sent to prison, I would opt to stay in a wimmin’s prison.

      I would be interested to know Ms Jones attitude towards the many women who profess undying love to the many convicted rapists and murderers who are incarcerated ( without ever meeting them ) – would she propose some sanction against them, or is it the imprisoned beast’s fault ?

    Double
    As I said yesterday – the peer in question just helps build a case for reformation of hopefully closure .

    Anyway – I understand that tonight there is to be a vigil for the woman who has disappeared – a vigil which will breach lock down regulations .
    Will plod choose to enforce them ? Or do the blind eye thing which they do when coloured ‘protest ‘? Is there to be another bout of clapping or kneeling ? This time for white females strolling across Clapham Common at night during lock down .?
    Just asking really but I think I know the answer .

    And will the suspect try to top himself in custody again ?( there is no evidence for this apart from x2 = 4)

    Because of a lack of ‘news’ we are being bombarded with endless reports of that poor girl’s tragic murder. The barrel is being scraped to drag on air everyone who identifies as a female, to talk about ”being a female’.

    Being careful about walking home at night is nothing new. Remember Jack the Ripper and the Yorkshire Ripper, its always been ever thus for women on their own to be vigilant when walking anywhere in the dark.

    I remember back in the 60’s, after a night dancing in Margate, I would get off the bus and walk home. My Mum always lain awake until she could hear the click clacking of my heels coming along the street. Then again, those were the days when any assault made the national press, so it was a rarity (and there were no other religions to contend with !)

    Interesting problem for the BBC. Are they ‘for’ or ‘against’? No doubt in my mind which side the BBC take. In today’s report in the Telegraph…:
    Labour now considers the fight against climate change more important than the mining communities
    In a role-reversal of the 1980s, Labour is opposing a new mining scheme – while the Conservatives are keen to invest in ex-mining areas

    Without even looking at the BBC news, I know which side of the fence the BBC sits. It has class war written all over it.

      We know that the BBC don’t think anything significant happened pre-Thatcher but the reality is that Wilson closed more pits than she ever did. Lots of tub-thumping ‘I’m Backing Britain’ and Union Jacks, mind, under Harold, Marcia and Barbara, but no real support for miners.
      An uncomfortable truth which, naturally, the BBC will overlook.

        “under Harold, Marcia and Barbara” aided and abetted by a Smiling Jim, who hadn’t a clue either!

        That’s about the time when the car industry went south, with the docks to follow!

        I wonder if anyone at the awful BBC will remember that their commentators were reasonably impartial back then, putting the cases for both sides, and showing some backbone in an intolerable period for British industry?

        Naaah, dream on…

    I presume that the snowflake-infested woke-ridden left-wing knee-jerk moron who suggested a 6pm curfew has obviously thought it through to it’s logical conclusion?

    Curfew at 6. However a similar crime happens at 3pm. So curfew at 3. Similar crime happens at 9.46am. so curfew starts at 9.46am. Pretty soon there won’t be any hours left so we won’t actually be allowed in our homes at all so we’ll all be free!

    ‘Bent as a nine-bob note’

    The European Court of Human Rights:

    “this report showed that at least 22 of the 100 permanent judges of the European Court of Human Rights who sat between 2009 and 2019 are former founders, collaborators, or leaders of seven NGOs active before the Court as applicants, representatives or third-party interveners. 12 of these judges are closely linked to George Soros’s Open Society, six of them being even former national and international leaders from it.[1] The Open Society also funds the other 6 organizations identified in this report.”

    If the ECHR want to continue with their bias and preference to anything George Soros et al. they should do it without the UK.

    I think Jess Phillips read out a list of over 100 murdered females yesterday in Parliament.

    With all these murders why is it that only this one is all over every newspaper and all tv/radio channels?
    Surely all should be treated the same.

    Could it be that it’s safe for them to go after the alleged murderer because he’s only a white indigenous man.

    Also,

    I recorded QT from last night and I can assure everyone that it’s still as dire as you all remember it. Four lefties and a waffling supposed Tory all making sure they said nothing that the woke can hound them out of office with.
    40% black panel and I’m grateful for the ff function every time Bonnie Greer started speaking.

    A couple of the audience panel made some decent points but the studio panel was sooooo boring.

    Just read in the Telegraph that Amol Rajan is going to be the new face on the Today programme. Along with Nick Robinson and Justin Webb it means then number of men presenters will outweigh the women (Martha and Mishal). However Amol with increase the number of BAME presenters to 40% – surely that cannot be right? Mind you, I don’t really care because I stopped listening to Today a few years back.
    And Nish is not having his contract renewed for the Mash Report. I am surprised they didn’t bring him onto the Today team. But as his response to his ‘sacking’ is to post him next to a sign saying ‘Boris is a liar and a racist’ shows how lacking in comedy he really is. I am still not sure what Boris has to do with Mash being stopped but it shows where Kumar’s head is. But I have never watched Mash either – although I understand it isn’t funny. I might also add that I haven’t seen a new programme in years on the BBC that has been funny. Bring back Patricia Routledge in ‘Keeping up Appearances’, I say.

    The man who had them bread rolling in the aisles is gone…or at least his Mish Mash Report is shelved and won’t be missed. But don’t get too excited…you all know you can’t keep a good man down, especially if he’s black or brown…Kumar will be back on our screens very soon presuming there are any jobs left not taken by Amol ‘ten jobs’ Rajan who must be really really good…or Asian.

    Presumably his parting attack on Boris was intended to endear himself to the BBC bigwigs….it may well work.

    I see from Guido that the BBC is continuing its sinister drive to stigmatise and demonise men…..

    ‘This morning BBC Breakfast asked Mr Drakeford whether he would consider the draconian measures:

    “Some people have said sometimes that if there were an area particularly where there were concerns that women were being assaulted or feeling particularly scared, that there should be a curfew on men for a period of time, is that something that you would consider?”’

    ‘Some people’ eh? What if ‘some people’ came up with the idea that all black males should be curfewed so that there is less knife crime and fewer black youths getting knifed…would the BBC be so keen to promote that?
