    US covered up deadly air strikes in Syria, New York Times reports
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-59279585

    Another front page report trying to pull down the West. Presumably so it can all be replaced by a communist utopian dictatorship where we all either follow their rules or get sent to a Gulag.

    I wouldn’t mind if they got it all in context and proportion. But these shameless hypocrites ignore the terrible things the Islamic extremists did – and are still doing – because they don’t want to offend or upset the millions of them living here.

    Instead we learn about girls football teams, singers who aren’t allowed to sing any more and air hostesses who have been told to stay at home. We get nothing of the torture and murder which I am quite certain has happened in the hundreds or thousands.

    This is what disgusts me so much about the Left. They don’t actually care about any of these people. They only care about using them to push their agenda. I’m not even sure they even know what their end game is. I suspect they are simply driven by hate and spite of those on the Right.

      The end game for these hypocrites will be their subjugation and/or murder by the very religion they protect at any cost. I doubt I will live long enough to point a finger and laugh at them.

    Lingchi (simplified Chinese: 凌迟; traditional Chinese: 凌遲), translated variously as the slow process, the lingering death, or slow slicing, and also known as death by a thousand cuts, was a form of torture and execution used in China from roughly 900 until 1905. It was also used in Vietnam and Korea. In this form of execution, a knife was used to methodically remove portions of the body over an extended period of time, eventually resulting in death.

    Lingchi was reserved for crimes viewed as especially heinous, such as treason. Some Westerners were executed in this manner. Even after the practice was outlawed, the concept itself has still appeared across many types of media.

      I agree the punctuation marks are dangerous!! Legal ‘experts’ remove ALL punctuation marks as they convey meaning, to a sentence or phrase. It can change the meaning of words, its dangerous.. so the left in general want them all banned, therefore making everything based on a legal interpretation of a single word.

      The Mirror would be intelligible (more so) than the already punctually challenged ‘Grauniad’ (that’s The Guardian as they used to spell it). Of course they HATE punctuation, and the ENGLISH language as its racist (obviously) and full of ambiguity and FUN with words. ‘We cannot allow that’ – they would say….! BBC are safe with images of ‘victims’, as they are a never ending news feed, with (sad) ‘voice-over’ (with expression), and ‘nod’ that needs no punctuation in 20 seconds.

    COP26: Wrong Again: 50 Years of Failed Eco-pocalyptic Predictions

    So a nutters convention on par with the Flat Earthers (and I do apologise to those who do believe in a flat earth), as the BBC doomsayers believe; things are getting far (and capitalism is route to all evil etc.), far, far worse: believing in GLOBAL Apocalypse! the film! Listen to us we predict the TRUTH!, Twitter followers, protest the world is equally flat, there are no mountains, no beast upon the earth and the air is all toxic. The BBC fact checkers have said the end is nigh… Only Biden can save us all!

    (Until the next COP out due in six years time)

    Modern doomsayers have been predicting climate and environmental disaster since the 1960s. They continue to do so today.

    None of the apocalyptic predictions with due dates as of today have come true.

    What follows is a collection of notably wild predictions from notable people in government and science.

    And of course repeated by the BBC as ‘FACT’.

    “Liverpool Women’s Hospital: One dead in car explosion outside hospital”
    The force said it “has not been declared a terrorist incident” but counter-terrorism detectives were leading the inquiry “out of caution”.

      Here you go, Taffman. The car-explosion was not vehicle-spontaneous-combustion (VSC) as implied by our BBC:

      “Three men have been arrested under the Terrorism Act after a man was killed in a car explosion outside Liverpool Women’s Hospital.

      Count-terrorism police said the men – aged 29, 26 and 21 – had been held in connection with the incident which happened just before 11:00 GMT.

      The passenger of the car – said to be a taxi – was declared dead at the scene and is yet to be formally identified.

      The male driver was injured and is in hospital in a stable condition.”

      Not confirmed, but a taxi driver might have locked 2 guys in the taxi and scarpered.
      As if he detected they were two terrorists on the way to bomb a Cenotaph.

      Videos show Northern Ireland style police vehicles doing raids in Liverpool

      It’s confirmed that it was a terror attack in Liverpool & the one person who died was the terrorist.

        @DaveAtherton20 tweeted
        I have just been DM’ed by a reliable source.

        It was a female suicide bomber. The taxi driver spotted what was going on & fled the car before the bomb went off. She died, he had minor injuries.

        The target was Liverpool Cathedral.

        Needs confirmation but seems credible.

        Strangely the ceremony was at the cathedral not the Liverpool cenotaph this year.

        If true, shocking. Taxi driver will be done for murder on the British system because he cannot plead ‘self-defence’. No doubt the Muslim Assn of GB will demand it.

    BBCnews Homepage
    They have gone to special trouble on the thumbnail of the Boris speech
    .. made it an image of a backlit cooling towers at a power station,
    that they traditionally pretend is clouds of dirty CO2
    it’s actually water vapour
    The 3 exhaust towers aren’t emitting visible dirt
    The video is just Boris and has no image of any power stations.

      Stew, I think our BBC were criticised in the past for showing harmless cooling towers. Mind you, none of the BBC science ‘experts’ would understand anyway.

    Strange isnt it ? Nut nut is reassuring us that The Queen is ‘ok’ . But when i read this online i realised i would never believe anything he says now …
    …….. a few more declining polls and we might get a slightly better PM – maybe even a Conservative one ….

      Serious question, but who do you see as a ‘better’ replacement ? So far as I can see there isn’t a single contender in their ranks, although I think John Redwood might be quite good, but he’s probably too old to take it on.

      As an aside I’m told Angela Rayner has been given £180 K in the first three months of this year by 11 different sources, and she has a limited company Angela Rayner Limited registered at companies house.

      I am also told she is now a multi millionaire which I find obscene.

      Although I believe that MPs should be properly paid by the state for the work they do, I am adamantly opposed to them getting any additional pay from outside sources which will definitely influence the democratic process and wishes of the electorate.

    Time for a new thread soon – but before I do – I want to have a little rant . Remembrance Sunday has always meant a great deal to me – for a number of reasons ,

    I didn’t watch the TV coverage but did listen to a BBC lightweight called ‘o Connell ‘ covering on the radio . He sounded like a DJ running through the music score leading up to 11am … I switched off soon after because I felt that the BBC couldn’t properly cover such a British National Ceremony any more . It is lost .
