        Not a lot of people know that Naples has always been black, it’s where Roman soldiers from Britain went for ‘rest and recreation’ and a slice of pizza, ‘just like mum used to make’ in Somalia.

      ccording to eyewitnesses, Hasan then went around behind the desk and bowed his head for several seconds, before he suddenly stood up, shouted “Allahu Akbar !” and opened fire.[17][18][19] Witnesses said Hasan initially “sprayed bullets at soldiers in a fanlike motion” before taking aim at individual soldiers.[20] Eyewitness SGT Michael Davis said: “The rate of fire was pretty much constant shooting. When I initially heard it, it sounded like an M16.”[21]

    In October 2018, the Program on Extremism at the George Washington University published a case study about the radicalization of Nidal Hasan .[54] The report is based on previously unpublished as well as new sources including primary source documents, discussions with those close to Hasan, and interviews with Hasan himself.

    The paper concludes that his faith was fundamental to the development of his worldview and his pathway towards radicalization, and that his radicalization followed a linear pathway.

    BBC WEB-SITE Watch #1 – funny, I thought; I thought funny

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-59010115
    Yet another BBC web-site article about Jeremy Vine’s favourite rock band, Joy Division. I skim read the article but found no mention of the band’s ‘right wing’ or even ‘far right’ culture. The BBC are quick to label anyone ‘right wing’ or ‘far right’; even the late David Amess MP was described by the BBC as ‘right wing’.

    As for Donald Trump and his supporters, then those that demonstrated rioted and invaded the Capitol on 6 January 2021, they must have been ‘far right’ Republicans. I didn’t see the BBC film about it but feel certain that that label must have been applied by the BBC to the demonstrators.

      Loobyloo – “Like dad dancing”… spot on!

      The entire last para is a load of sociological gobbledygook designed to explain away a meme, the raw power and anger of which the beeboids are incapable of understanding in their little ivory towers with their little lefty degrees in media studies.
      What the liars don’t say is that various rap versions have rocketed to the very top slots on music charts, iTunes and TikTok. Yes, all the kool kids and all the black kids (who are supposed to hate Trump) are loving it.
      It’s being chanted at sporting events, music events, in the streets and – best of all – even at Biden rallies!
      It’s a spontaneous mass movement, an explosion of all the suppressed anger of millions of Americans who know they’ve been cheated and lied to, and who have no voice in the msm and on Big Tech. The chant mocks Biden but it also mocks the lying media who still cover for him. (Oops, am I sounding all sociological?)

      There’s talk that Trump will attend an important baseball game in the World Series on Saturday. If so, there’s likely to be an eruption of Let’s Go Brandon that the BBC won’t understand and won’t report, just like they never understood or reported the sheer numbers and fervour at Trump’s election rallies.

    The more I read the ‘horrific’ ‘threats’ received by Angela Rayner the more disturbed by this countries legal system I become.

    We see in America the Democratic party using the legal system to attack its political opponents – the same appears to be happening here.

    “Benjamin Iliffe, 36, of Chatteris in Cambridgeshire, was sentenced to 15 weeks imprisonment suspended for 18 months after he told Ms Rayner ‘to watch your back and your kids’ over email. ”

    How many people were arrested or charged over the threats made against Tommy Robinson, or even Nigel Farage or anyone else the state doesn’t like.

    We saw when at the election Corbyn had an egg thrown at him, the thrower was sent to prison, when Nigel Farage was attacked nothing was done until the public outcry made that untenable, and the attacker received a small community service.

    When Robinson was attacked the attacker was given a taxi ride home by the Police.

    So we see politicians on the right being sent death threats by the left on a regular basis, sometimes with Osman notices being sent, and nothing being done by the Police, CPS, and courts, and yet a Labour MP gets the mildest of digs and the state decides the sky is falling, Red Tory MPs claim to be ‘horrified’ about the ‘treats’ yeah? Well why weren’t you horrified when worse threats were being made against conservative or right of centre politicians?

        His old Catholic beliefs are often misinterpreted as conservatism, but there’s nothing conservative about him, and he is Socialist to the core.
        He is also wet weak an ineffective. The time he was barracked by some left wing a hole at a debate showed this. The Leftie was a man of action when he would go and achieve his objectives, all Mogg was capable of doing was talking nonsense and achieving nothing but obfuscation.

    Open letter signed by 16,000 calls for BBC apology over trans article
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-59074096

    “More than 16,000 people have signed an open letter calling on the BBC to apologise for an online news article about trans women and lesbians.

    The piece, published on Tuesday, quoted lesbians who felt “pressured into sex by some trans women”.”

    “”The implications proposed by this article suggest that transgender women generally pose a risk to cisgender lesbians in great enough numbers that it is newsworthy, and something the general public should consider as a common occurrence rather than a matter of incredibly rare, isolated experiences,” the letter reads.

    “It is vital that the BBC, which is a government-endorsed public service that claims to be committed to achieving impartiality with the output of it’s content, rectifies this act with a sincere apology, amendment of the article to clarify the falsehoods and damage within, and commits to realigning with their original mission statement.””

        Torquay traders in despair as ‘gangs of feral kids’ run riot

        Shopkeepers are banding together to report every incident until the problems are taken seriously

        The situation has become worse during the school half-term holiday, traders say. They report gangs of teenagers – some on bikes – have been causing increasing problems including throwing bollards from the top of Fleet Walk, narrowly missing shoppers below.

        The youths on bikes hang on to the backs of the buses in the pedestrianised precinct. Others have been seen throwing stones from the top level of Fleet Walk car park.

        Traders report smashed windows and intimidation by the gangs of teens. Planters full of palm trees on the upper terrace of Fleet Walk have had to be removed because the plants were ripped out.

        A shopkeeper on the upper gallery level of Fleet Walk said: “It would be nice if the security guards could do something to remove these kids but there is very little they can do.

        “I’ve seen them holding on to the back of buses – the bus drivers have to slow right down or stop. There’s others who ride in groups in front of the buses. Over the last couple of years it’s got worse. We used to have nice plant pots up here but they all had to be removed because they were pulling up the trees and throwing them and all the soil at people below.”

        Deranged man riding subway with his kids PUNCHES woman in the face after she told him to ‘take a chill pill’ as violent crime on NYC trains soars

        The original poster wrote that the man was already agitated when he got onto the train, telling other passengers to ‘gtfo out of him & his kid’s way.’

        ‘All [the woman] said was he needs a chill pill & his kids repeated it to him and it was just up from there,’ the original poster captioned the TikTok video capturing the attack.

        ‘Mind your business — say it again,’ the man threatens the woman again as he moves away. ‘I’m tired if you n***** in my black business, you understand?’

        On Monday, a man sitting on the Northbound N train was shot in the leg after he didn’t give his cellphone to a mugger quickly enough. The man was caught by detectives after he committed a robbery the next day.

    Open letter signed by 16,000 calls for BBC apology over trans article
    https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-59074096

    When a headline news article on your state news channel contains the words ‘pressures to “accept the idea that a penis can be a female sex organ”‘, you strongly suspect your society has disappeared up it’s own backside and some people need to get a proper job.

    I wonder if such wording has appeared in the news in any other country in the world except maybe somewhere in loopy California.

    Eventually the woke will implode in a cloud of pure hate, but the process is far too slow for my liking.

    Aaaah, California!

    R5 dead was pushing Squawkswegger like crazy today, as if any normal citizen cares a hoot – he sounds so thick, but then he was Governor for a time, so knows that the place is really a lot of failure already.

    But the most important news (apart from Cod26), was that Mr Biden of 13 Acacia Gardens was seeing the Pope! The awful beeb mentioned this about seventeen times in an hour!

    I’m sure The Pope will learn something from the meeting, but of course, listening to a gibbering old fool for a few minutes isn’t going to get much more than a glance at The Papal Watch!

    Oh yes, when the early money prog was on, they had a real businessman, who floored the gal doing the presenting by putting the record straight on Mr Biden’s triumph in securing 1.s*d all trillion to start something or other. All the real businessman said was ‘It’s not much compared to the 5.4 trillon he was bragging about a few weeks ago’!

    Nice one!

      Schwarzenegger on climate change

      Terminator actor Arnold Schwarzenegger did not mince his words when he met the BBC ahead of next week’s COP26 climate change summit. The former Republican governor of California says those who believe cutting carbon emissions damages economies are “liars” and “stupid”. He points to the efforts of his own state which enjoys continuing economic success while reducing the amount of carbon dioxide it pumps into the air. In a wide-ranging interview for 39 Ways to Save the Planet on Radio 4, Schwarzenegger also says he has cut the amount of meat he eats and converted his diesel Hummer car to battery power. And what is the most important thing Arnie thinks we can do to cut carbon? “Buy local products. Every time you buy something from overseas, that is evil for the environment – this is like the worst thing you can do,” he says.

      We’ve got a range of features and explainers to read ahead of COP26, including what it is and why it’s important and four things you can do about your carbon footprint.

    Inside the controversial US gunshot-detection firm

    ShotSpotter’s incident-review room is like any other call centre. Analysts wearing headsets sit by computer screens, listening intently. Yet the people working here have an extraordinary responsibility. They decide whether a computer algorithm has correctly identified a gunshot – and whether to dispatch police officers. And making the wrong call has serious consequences. ShotSpotter has garnered much negative press over the past year – allegations about everything from inaccurate technology to fuelling police discrimination. In the wake of those negative news stories, the company gave the BBC access to its controversial national incident-review centre.

      Not so. London Borough Councils have upscaled the event into Black History Season, which promotes an open-ended approach to the timescale of festivities. The hope is that the UK version will bleed into the following February, when millions of oppressed, destitute African Americans start their annual pilgrimage to the site of community leader George Floyd’s senseless murder by a white hood-wearing Nazi KKK policeman carrying a burning cross.

    Raynor apologises for “Tory scum” rant‘ (Daily Telegraph)

    Not in the Guardian headline, she doesn’t: ‘Raynor says terrifying threats hit family hard‘ – once you read beyond the header and into the small print you’ll find her whinging “I am the real victim here” plea comes with an and: ‘…and apologised for having previously called Tories scum

    The police dragnet has certainly gone out on her behalf: ‘Three men have been arrested in connection with malicious communications towards Raynor this week‘ – and yet MPs will tell us further legislation is required to control us plebs losing it on social media.

    Our Angie’s qualified sorry only came as: ‘a court heard that a delivery driver who sent the deputy Labour leader a death threat was partially motivated by her words‘ (Telegraph) – the Guardian meanwhile frames her semi mea culpa as: ‘Raynor took the opportunity…

    Hey! Rewind a minute… delivery driver? Given our post Lockdown supply chain woes, can we really afford to have this chap banged up for a prison sentence? Whereas the deputy leader of the Labour party… I’m struggling to think what useful societal function she serves.

    Don’t worry yourselves about the shocking broad daylight cold blooded murder of an MP allegedly by an islamist immigrant… our politicians have got the answer: ‘Top dog. Westminster pet honour for Sir David Amess‘ (‘i’); ‘Best in show. Vivienne, a French bulldog owned by Sir David Amess, was named Westminster Dog of the Year‘ (Times) – now if I were Jeremy Corbyn’s pet feline El Gato, and given he’s steaped in the politics of envy, I’d likely call foul… what a fix! Or realistically, just have myself a bit of yowl to the tune of The Internationale.

    While most titles are distracted by: ‘E-cigarettes on NHS to save lives‘ (Express) – love the sign of the times all-pervasive catch-all caveat “to save lives” – odd to think you’re not even allowed to use them on a railway station platform – or by: ‘Kicked in the scallops UK vessel seized as France warns of “combat”‘ (Daily Star) – it is left to the Daily Mirror to remind us of the economy, stupid.

    Ah, that dismal science, or economics, as described by Thomas Carlyle.

    The Mirror has no shame in chucking in a tabloid Lefty cliché or two: ‘Fury at bankers’ budget. Perfect storm‘ – however, they do note the salient issues: ‘UP mortgages to soar as banks start upping interest rates. UP 5% inflation nighmare for hard-pressed Brit families. UP tax increases of £3k-a-year will hit many in next 5 years

    It’s beginning to feel a lot like… not Christmas but Recession. Self-inflicted, I’m afraid. Remember that protracted Lockdown when we trashed our economy? Of course the marxist analysis of recession is to blame the capitalists for engineering booms and busts – so we’re basically all agreed – just like climate change – this was no act of nature.

    A 1970s economy and 1960s style: ‘Minis, bobs and free love‘ – teases the Times – I can just about remember when a bob was a shilling – personally, as for minis and free love, by the time one was of an age the dreaded AIDS (our last big news pandemic) had put a spoke in that wheel on fire – I digress. This being a news feature presumably the Times intends as some gentle parlour game designed to ward off senility and is on the theme of Mary Quant – a heavy hint the audience for newsprint is ageing alarmingly.

    Matt is away‘ – the Telegraph cartoonist seemingly copping more days off than Sir Keir Starmer.

    The Daily Mail attempts to pencil in for us with a frontpage sketch of the drunken sailor boy Rishi picking the pocket of Middle England.

    The analogy fails for me in terms of our proverbial druken sailors reputedly splurgeing their own cash, not the hard earned tax-extracted wealth of the nation at large. Or money he’s borrowed and for which enourmous debts we’ll pick up the interest for him.

    The ‘i’ appears to concur: ‘Return of the squeezed middle‘ – I say again, what did you imagine eighteen months of Lockdown and a massive splurge of cash on vaccines, track and trace and furlough would achieve?

    The Sun has the best pun: ‘Two Ron Ron‘ – this is Ronaldo, the millionaire footballer with the failing Manchester United: ‘… girlfriend is expecting twins… it will make him a dad of six – and he wants one more to match his squad number‘ – you may refer back to the headline of this review for your gag and perhaps your more serious thought for the day.

          It’s only illegal and a ‘hate crime’ if you are ‘violent or hostile’ towards someone on account of their gender identity, or sexuality.

          Not choosing to date, or sleep with someone because they are a particular gender, gender identity, or sexuality is NOT an act of ‘violence or hostility’.

          Therefore, you can call someone a ‘transphobe’ all you want, if they don’t want to date you (or sleep with you) because they don’t fancy transexuals, they are perfectly entitled to say so.

      It’s a niche interest, I know, but for anyone interested, Michael Voris of The Vortex is relentless in his denunciation of the corruption of the Church in America, in particular the ‘Lavender Mafia’ of homo-predatory bishops (often paedophile) and their protectors. As well as sexual, the corruption is also political and financial. The culture war raging in the secular world is just as fierce in the religious sphere.

      In fact, within Israel it was then estimated to be around 67%.

      We also said the “Palestinian population has not been inoculated at anywhere near the rate of the Israeli population.”

      To be clear, this was because of vaccine hesitancy.

      And anybody who quotes ‘totals’ just wants to portray things to be as bad as possible. Those graphs are absolutely pointless because they always go upwards – but they give the intended impression of everything getting worse. It’s usually because the organisation involved have a business interest in keeping the hysteria going.

    You can imagine Gordon brown brooding over some project to make him memorable . This time he wants to ‘airlift ‘covid vaccines from decent countries to bongo bongo land .

    It’s strange how quickly politicians go from representing their constituents to global megalomania … back in her box for winter Gordon – no one listens …
    If those countries were still part of the empire or our kin – help – otherwise sort out your own problems – the value of independence …

    Blackverts are getting progressively worse and worse by the day, and add to that C4 black this black that.

    This 3 – 4 % of the population are bocoming EXTREMELY tiresome and probably actively creating the next generation of anti black racists who no doubt, despite being in the 86% majority will feel more and more disenfranchised

    whilst blacks bang on and on about alleged racism whilst exercising the same bigotry towards other minorities and anything white

    “We got to take white people out’: Rutgers University professor, 41, calls white people ‘villains’, says ‘Critical Race Theory is just the proper teaching of American history’ and praises dwindling white birth rates in online discussion”

    Brittney Cooper, 41, said that whiteness ‘totally skews our view of everything,’ adding that she ‘thinks that white people are committed to being villains’
    She made the shocking comments to The Root Institute’s Michael Harriot during an online conference titled Unpacking The Attacks On Critical Race Theory
    Cooper also said that ‘white people’s birth rates are going down’ because they can’t afford children but was sure to note that ‘they kind of deserve it’
    The Root Institute’s description of the conversation called it ‘a healthy dose of reality’
    Cooper is a professor at Rutgers University where she teaches classes on women’s and genders studies

    I noticed that BBC Question Time last night followed the BBC standard practice.

    1. Get a lefty activist in the audience to ask a leading question.

    2. Allow 2 of the left-wing panellists to respond first and add accusations.

    3. Get the Conservative panellists to respond to the left-wing panellist accusations thus keeping the topic neatly tied down.

    Not once did I see either a right leaning question from the audience and not once was the initial response handed to the Conservative side.

    The left-wing panellist responses suggested that they were pre-briefed on what was to come from the activists and were locked and loaded with oven-ready responses and accusations.

    Basically a party political broadcast for the Labour party.

        I was going to post the same, Fed!

        I watched two ‘Minder’s with a bottle of red, and woke up at 1.00am in front of a deadened coal fire!

        I don’t see the point of QT as it’s only a front for some of the lightweights in W1AA to try and show leftiness, (or so I’m told by chums here and Guido of course)!

        Digg, ‘Minder’ boxed sets are on Ebay for about forty quid, and so much better than QT dross!

      BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast
      BBC Radio 5 Live, Wednesday 3 January 2018

      During a phone-in on the programme a contributor, Danielle Tiplady was introduced as a staff nurse. We should have established and made clear on air that she was a political activist.

      I wonder what more deranged ideas Bumbling Bottler will return with after the Marxist ‘lovefest’ in Glasgow. I’ll bet he will take more pages from his bosses (the false President’s) playbook. After all, we already have our own, de facto’Southern Border’ on the East coast and the Dem’s outrageous ‘Spending Bill’. To be fair though, the Bottler is well ahead of the US with our own, ‘Spending Bill’ aka, the Budget a few days ago.

    Mark Hodgson writes “None of this is news. It’s all propaganda, pure and simple.”
    So look away if you are not interested in dissection of BBC COP26

    I under-estimated the scale of BBC propaganda this morning:
    Climate change: Droughts and fires ‘may be features of Wales
    Abandoned coastal communities, forest fires and water shortages may become features of life in Wales later this century, scientists have warned.

    Extreme weather events will threaten lives and make people poorer, they said.

    Welsh academics working on climate change predictions have been speaking ahead of the COP26 summit in Glasgow.
    But they insisted there was hope of avoiding the worst effects if action was taken globally.”

    ===============

    Is Glasgow on course for a green future?
    “One man who has witnessed Glasgow change over the decades and throughout lockdown is George Parsonage.
    George, 78, has been a lifesaving boatman along the river with the Glasgow Humane Society and has lived on the banks of the Clyde all his life.
    What does he make of the changes over the years and what are some the challenges being faced by the city in going green?”

        I thought they brought in ‘Newsbeat’ to attract kids, you know, sort of getting down to their level, wearing flares, and saying ‘hip’ things like ‘groovy’, and flipping their fingers in a bored ‘huh’ sort of way!

        It sounds very archaic these days, especially as hardly any kids bother to listen to it! It’s like Children’s hour was back in the fifties, but without the kids…

        Have this hilarious clip on Scrobs!

        (The last few seconds at the end of the song always make me weep with laughter)!

          And pay themselves with our money to do it.

          Yet we have no say whatsoever in it.

          It’s a complete farce.

      Advocates of climate change should never be labelled as ” stupid or liars” for they know exactly what they do. They should be more correctly labelled as Marxists or Communists.
