    The UK Next ?
    Thanks to our ‘open door’ government with its porous border control.
    Wasn’t the Ariana Grande Bombing one ‘lesson to be learned’ enough to control the Channel crossings ?
    The Home Office simply does not know how many insurgents have been allowed to enter Great Britain since Bo Jo took office.

    Mediterranean migrants flock to Europe from Tunisia
    A Tunisian people smuggler says the key to becoming rich is to “take as many people as you can and not care if they die”. He works between the coast of Tunisia and Lampedusa, which is a route frequently used by migrants to reach Europe. Over 1,000 people have died in 2021 alone.

        I don’t know what you’re moaning about Taffman, someone was clearly inspired to create a new masterpiece by the recently revealed rainbow police cars and the genius that is Banksy, what’s not to like?

        Those vintage carriages had been lovingly restored to their old glory by dedicated volunteers at their own cost and effort, over many years, did you say? But, Banksy, Banksy! And rainbow colours too… you must be an ignorant homophobic art hating heathen… literally Hitler, in fact, and a Daily Mail reader too.

    TWatO Watch #2 – the Remainers keep getting it wrong

    It just so happens that I was in a supermarket late this morning. It’s CEO is a fervent Remainer judging by the number of times he pops up to provide the Remainer BBC with helpful anti-Brexit quotes for the last four years. The shelves did have some gaps in the stock but then that is far from unusual at this particular store which is well-known locally for its poor management. It is also something that I would tend to expect both for the day (Thursday – when OAPs shop in their hordes) and at the time of day for my visit: not far short of mid-day.

    The other interesting thing to note was that most, almost all, of the people not wearing facemasks were older people. This was the complete opposite to my previous brief visit when most maskless were young people, which I found quite heartening at the time. Anyway, ‘Back to Brexit’.

    The Montacutie gave the BBC game away a bit when she persisted in asking a contributor to this item: is it about Brexit? Sarah sounded almost disappointed when this contributor said it was also about the Pandemic and the working conditions for HGV drivers.

    To whit, the first contributor to this item was a truck driver, Helen, who did not have a deep voice and a beard but a nice Scots burr. She has been driving HGVs for three decades although she sounded younger than that. She did say it was a tough life, for not a lot of pay, and bemoaned sleeping in a metal tent, without access to showers because all the men got in the way. You do wonder why she had stuck it for thirty years.

    Was it just for the Yorkies?

        Then Islam came for your beer … and your media said how wonderful it would be if no one drank.

        Then Islam came for your children … and you stood silent as 1400+ raped kids over 16 years in 1 town with 0 BBC coverage.

        Then Islam came for your freedom to vote/democracy … and you gave them your ballot box so you did not appear racist.

        Then Islam came for your institutions … and you celebrated the diversity of it all and called everyone else racist.

        Then Islam came for your jobs … by removing anyone who criticised Islam at ASDA in jun2019.

        Then Islam, when everything in the UK was Islamic … Islam started fighting Islam because Sunni and Shiite don’t work .. see Yemen in 2019.

    TWatO Watch #3 – this BBC Commentator keeps getting it wrong

    It was nearly 1.38pm. Before Sarah spoke to the next item, the BBC played an audio clip from the Special Olympics. It seemed to be cycling. The commentator got very excited and was yelling away. I hit the OFF-switch.

    That guy – don’t know who it is – is a complete idiot. There’s no noisy crowd cheering away, the stadium seemed to be playing music but even so, the BBC Commentator did not need to shout but shout he did.

    I was immediately grateful for the peace and quiet after his stupidity and the activation of the OFF-switch.

    The footage showed Clinton wearing a coat over a flak jacket, with daughter Chelsea behind, stepping off a US transport plane from Germany. Far from ducking and weaving to evade sniper fire, she walked upright at a stately pace across the runway. She waved to US soldiers nearby. In contrast with her claim that a greeting ceremony had been cancelled, she was met by a group that included an eight-year-old girl, Emina Bicakcic, who read her a poem and kissed her.

    Faced with the video evidence, Clinton acknowledged on Monday that she had made a mistake.

    The BBC allowed a a member of the Muslim sharia council,
    and to say the least a sympathizer of the Taliban to to air her
    support for them on BBC national radio. She said that she did not know any Muslim in the UK that did not support the Taliban.
    Can you imagine the BBC giving the same air time to Tommy
    Robinson who does not support the Taliban and believes that
    gays should not be thrown from roofs in Kabul or anywhere
    else? To go with that Tommy doesn’t believe that adulterers
    should be stoned to death. Tommy also believes that 10 year
    old girls should be allowed to go school. And do you know what ?
    So do I !
    Yes I know that anarchist Marxists have quite a lot of interest
    now at the BBC to stir up as much trouble as they can, But
    Ofcom should give a warning to the BBC that as a national
    broadcaster they should not allow anyone to give succour to
    the Taliban and it’s associates who have just blown up
    innocent folk at Kabul airport.
    BBC there is diversity and diversity. And you BIG BROTHER at
    the BBC better learn this lesson before you have the right to broadcast taken away from you.

    2014 ….

    A man in Afghan military uniform opened fire at a British-run military academy near Kabul, killing one soldier and wounding at least 14, officials say.

    The Nato soldier who was killed is thought to be from the US, while a German general is among those wounded.

    Afghanistan’s Ministry of Defence said the Afghan soldier was shot dead after he opened fire.

    The BBC understands the shooting at Camp Qargha happened after an argument broke out.

    Afghan Defence Ministry sources told the BBC the attacker was a soldier who was recruited three years ago.
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-28659874

    Shortly after the academy opened there was a shooting incident when an Afghan soldier in a neighbouring barracks opened fire, injuring Australian and New Zealand troops providing security.

    I would like to report that the BBC have ‘more’ information, but all we will get ‘is a man’ and not his ‘origin’ or ‘age’ or the fact that he was mentally ‘disturbed’ either. If your wondering what was in the hidden Syringes the BBC report fails to tell us; other than: ‘The content of the syringes is unknown.’

    The Telegraph newspaper however reported that it was a blood contaminant ‘ as yet to be analysed as toxic ‘ by the Police.

    Why does the BBC hide that information from the public? I think we know the answer. Its interesting to compare a proper newspaper to a BBC filtered ‘news-feed’.

    While the BBC show relatively anodyne footage of the Kabul attack, there is horrendous footage of bloody slaughter on Twitter. And the death toll is patently more than the official 12 being quoted.

    BBC news at 6 pm have a big item about the underfunding of …….( what is it this time)……. people with autism or learning difficulties. Heartstrings were pulled in the normal way.
    More money is needed apparently.

    But is that before or after we have paid up for 20,000 Afghans plus 800 economic chancers crossing the channel every day?

    On that issue the BBC is silent, as usual.

    Those effects WILL be felt by Britons who, the sociologist David Goodhart, famously dubbed the Somewheres. The people who like where they live, don’t want to move, but feel wistful about how their communities are changing around them without their consultation.

    Somewheres also feel a strong sense of national history and patriotism. They may not always be able to put their disaffection into arguments that would impress a TV executive, but they know how they feel when they see images of people landing in boats on their coast.”

    BBC news story last week buried an important detail at the bottom
    that’s Bias by Omission

    The men, both in their 30s, had homophobic abuse hurled at them by a group of four men who then got out of a black SUV and assaulted them. Among other things, the attackers used bottles to attack the couple, and managed to knock one of them unconscious before driving off.

    Douglas Murray “the press and media in the UK have been cowed by pressure groups and made to fear writing up their own reports in the accurate fashion they would have done just a few years ago. ”
    That’s in Aug 18th commentary
    https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/why-is-the-bbc-burying-this-detail-about-a-homophobic-attack-in-birmingham-

    In the last decade or so, a sinister group of individuals from a range of organisations have spent their energies trying to rein in the free press. Specifically they try to stop the reporting of stories that might portray any follower of Islam in a negative light.

    the army of anti-media mujahideen get to work to complain to Ofcom, Ipso and whatever other regulators they can find. In time, their work has an effect.
    If every story about Islam causes editors to receive a blizzard of complaints then soon they start to wonder whether it wouldn’t be easier to cover some other story. Just too much hassle, etc, etc.

      I’ve learned to read between the lines of the BBC woke-filter for a very long time;
      – when they say “Asian” they invariably mean “Muslim”,
      unless it’s a positive story of course, in which case they will always specifically say ‘Muslim’
      … When they say ‘migrant’ they actually mean ‘illegal immigrant’,
      when they say ‘diverse’ they really mean ‘less white and less male’.
      When they say ‘group of London youths’ they mean ‘black gang members.”
      And of course when they say ‘far-right’ they really mean ‘anything that’s not far-left.

      Another
      ‘a man’ stabs some people, he ‘is reported to have shouted something’, and it is quickly established that ‘he has mental health issues’. Case close, nothing to see here, move along.

    Old way “ALL THE NEWS THAT’S FIT TO PRINT”

    New way “ONLY PRINT THE NEWS THAT FITS”

    We see it every day.
    The framing of a story, that tells readers and viewers how to interpret events,
    is deliberately shaped so that the story conforms to libmob’s worldview.
    Narrative trumps Truth in today’s media.

    The Plymouth shooting, whilst extreme and very rare, had deservedly huge exposure but was nevertheless immediately portrayed as an act resulting from ‘incel ideology’ which should now be considered a dangerous terror movement, that HATE women.

    .. Meanwhile, two women were apparently deliberately burnt to death (in Bury and Staffordshire) in the last fortnight and received almost no media coverage.
    We are left to presume that their deaths resulted from a very real political/religious movement that we could all name but aren’t allowed to in public.
