Start the Week 15 November 2021

It seems Remembrance Sunday has seen another terrorist attack . Nothing is sacred . Will the BBC give it the coverage it deserves or do its’ normal censorship in the name of ‘community relations ‘ ?

    BBC reporter drowned out by hecklers at scene of Liverpool explosion

    “Fiona – I can see – erm – that we are unable to hear you right now. Unfortunately so, er, there are police at the scene there surrounding Fiona so, erm, she’s absolutely fine, but obviously, er, somebody was drowning out what she was saying, so, er, we are unable to continue, er, with that particular broadcast…”

    Laughable.

    Alt commentary:- “We can hear what the protestors are saying, and we can’t be having that on the BBC.”

    The BBC have now named the Liverpool bomber (Emad Al Swealmeen) on their Regions page, but not on their Home page “What we know so far”.

    It could just be BBC disorganisation, but I’m not inclined to give the lying bastards the benefit of the doubt anymore, and always assume the worst.

        Must be a comforting thought to anyone suffering from Covid that more than 75% of the virus in their bodies is ‘home-grown’.

        Nearly as comforting as finding out that the ex-boss of Border Force doesn’t believe in borders, but then Johnson doesn’t believe in Conservatism either.

    Once again the police and the BBC are unsure what the motivation could be for the Liverpool explosion.

    Allow me to be of assistance.

    First, given the intensity of the explosion, it probably wasn’t a tyre blow-out or the engine backfiring.

    Next, given the day and time, it probably wasn’t an accident.

    Then, given the name of the ‘passenger’ (Emad Al Swealmeen) it probably wasn’t the IRA.

    We know the name is muslim and that the man was of Middle Eastern origin.

    A picture is emerging of a possible motivation, is it not?

    Now let’s turn to the terror manual known as the quran to see if it can shed further light on a possible motive.

    – Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers.
    – Whoso fighteth in the way of Allah, be he slain or be he victorious, on him We shall bestow a vast reward.
    – The disbelievers are ever unto you open enemies.
    – I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.
    – And fight with them until there is no more fitna (disorder, unbelief) and religion is all for Allah.
    – slay the idolaters wherever you find them.
    – O you who believe! fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you.
    – And kill them wherever you find them.
    – Sahih Bukhari (52:220) – Allah’s Apostle said… ‘I have been made victorious with terror’.

    Etc etc etc.

    Is it just me or is a possible motive beginning to emerge?

        A Christian with mental health issues according to the Fail Online main headline.

        “Almeni was taken in by Malcolm and Elizabeth Hitchcott in 2017 and converted from Islam to Christianity in Liverpool Cathedral, the venue it is thought he wanted to blow up on Remembrance Sunday” apparently.

        That’s a new one. Taqiya perhaps?

            Ah “claimed to be Syrian”
            It was claimed that Al-Swealmeen had told a friend he came from Syria — but The Sun understands he was a Jordanian national.

            He was an asylum seeker who converted to Christianity in Liverpool’s Anglican Cathedral in March 2017
            And after being arrested for carrying a knife, it’s understood he was sectioned in around 2014.
            he went by the name Enzo Almeni.
            The 32-year-old was born to an Iraqi mother – and grew up in Dubai before moving to the UK, it’s understood.
            “The UK asylum people were never convinced he was Syrian and he was refused asylum in 2014.

            “He had his case rejected because he has been sectioned due to some mental health incident where he was waving a knife at people from an overpass.”

    I’ve just seen something on GB News that had me choking on my evening cuppa.

    Jonathan Ashworth, the Labour shadow health minister, was asked about the terrorist attack in Liverpool. He had on his “concerned and sympathetic” face. You know the one…

    “Shocking,” he said, “that this could happen anywhere, but particularly outside a women’s maternity hospital…” okay, so far, so predictable.

    It was the next sentence that had me upsetting my PG Tips. “Obviously we pay our respects and send our condolences to the family of the man who lost his life…”

    Incredible!

    So, Labour are now commiserating with the families of Islamist suicide bombers.

    Waiting for news about the Liverpool bombing. What I really mean is waiting for news about the Liverpool bomber.

    Drat. He isn’t a Far Right extremist. Damn. He isn’t a Brexit supporter. Or someone who wants to control immigration. Blast. It isn’t the IRA. Or an offshoot.

    Nope. It’s just the usual terrorist asylum seeker.
    Even now, the BBC ‘journalists’ must be scouring every mental health department in the country hoping, praying, that the Liverpool bomber was a patient.

    But he was none of those, BBC. He was, as usual, from a grouping the BBC bend over backwards to celebrate.
    But what’s this? He was a Syrian asylum seeker who had converted from Islam to Christianity !!!!!!!!

    That’ll do. Get out the Dom Perignon!

    Astoundingly misleading narrative from the BBC on the Rittenhouse trial in the US…

    No attempt whatsoever to report his side of the story…such as the fact that he was being attacked and beaten and had a gun pointed at him….so he shot the gunman.

    Contrast that of the likely terrorist who was said to be trying to bomb a Remembrance service…the BBC just love him…such a nice smiley photo they’ve used…

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-59298586

    He was a lovely guy…and a refugee….we need more like him!…oh…he is ‘thought to have converted to Christianity’ and had ‘mental health issues’…..lol. If he ‘converted’ it was to help with his asylum claim.

    The BBC avoiding all mention of Islam[what religion were the others arrested?] but quick to suggest he was a Christian.

            Taff,
            With reluctance I’m afraid that I have to agree with you . Boris has done ok on Brexit despite the attempts to stop him from the Remainer establishment. But on other key fronts he has been hopeless, immigration and CO2 being the two most grevious faults closely followed by the BBC.
            The appointment of a successor , assuming he goes, is largely up to Tory MPs , not party members , and they will chose someone who will be soft on immigration , because most of them are, and someone who will at least nod in the direction of massive CO2 emissions reduction.
            As to the BBC I think that Boris was ready to put it to the sword but then was persuaded that he needed it to scare us about Covid and now about climate change. I suspect he successor will be equally conned.
            The only way for those in the general public who loath the BBC to rid themselves of the foul corporation is to do it themselves by refusing to pay the License Fee in ever increasing numbers.

      Clearly his ‘conversion’ was a sham to gain some advantage in this country. Suicide combers do it because giving their life while taking others in the name of Allah gets them into paradise with 72 virgins to abuse as they see fit. There is no such reward for Christians which is why they do no do it.

      This article is the truth which the BBC and our MSM will never tell you:
      https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/09546550390449980?journalCode=ftpv20

      The BBC say ‘Christian’ FOUR times in their article and have never used the ‘Muslim’ word once !!.

      I remember an interview with a Muslim terrorist once and they asked him how he could do such terrible things. His answer was ‘Allah knows my heart’. This was particularly chilling as it means they firmly believe they can do anything at all with Gods blessing.

      Shame on you BBC. You are the most disgusting of liars because you do it in cunning and deceitful ways whilst hiding behind a charter which stipulates you are impartial.

      But of course the ends justify the means to the Left. Just ask Hitler and Stalin. The BBC are not so ethically different from the terrorists in many ways. Both want to force their agenda on everyone else and don’t care what damage they do in the process.

        John
        Nice final point . I wonder what a beeboid reading your last paragraph would think ? Could they ever realise that others see their anti British lefty indoctrination as similar to Islamic killing?
        As for the 2nd Islamic terrorist in 4 weeks – obviously read the wahabi guidebook of adopting a ‘lifestyle ‘ to cover their true intentions of attacking and killing non Muslims .

        I heard Robinson describe this killer as a ‘young man’ – which suggests sympathy . This would be killer was 32 . The bbc cannot stop itself .

        The narrative seems to be to change our way of life further to make it more difficult for Muslim terrorists to kill people in the name of their false god – not to control of prevent those creatures from being in the UK – such as withdrawing refugee laws

        They are also talking about ‘mental health funding ‘
        In the NHS being a reason for Islamic terrrorist attacks …

        I am surprised that the BBC hasn’t run to its ‘happy place of going on about highly paid cricketers being called ‘paki ‘ – when that’s what they are …

    QUESTION: How do you tell the difference between an English police officer, a Canadian police officer and an American police officer ?

    The situation is that an armed man with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with the officer, screams obscenities, raises the knife and lunges at him. The officer is carrying his truncheon and he is an expert in using it. However, he only has a split second to react before the knife-wielding man reaches him. What does each officer do?

    English Police Officer:

    Firstly, the Officer must consider the man’s human rights.
    1) Does the man look poor or oppressed?
    2) Is he new to the country, does he not yet understand the law?
    3) Is this really a knife or a ceremonial dagger?
    4) Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack?
    5) Am I dressed provocatively?
    6) Could I run away?
    7) Could I possibly swing my truncheon and knock the knife out of his hand?
    8) Should I try and negotiate with him to discuss his wrong-doings?
    9) Why am I carrying a truncheon anyway and what kind of message does this send to society?
    10) Does he definitely want to kill me or would he be content just to wound me?
    11) If I were to grab his knees and hold on, would he still want to stab and kill me?
    12) If I raise my truncheon and he turns and runs away, do I get blamed if he falls over, knocks his head and kills himself?
    13) If I hurt him and lose the subsequent court case, does he have the opportunity to sue me, cost me my job, my credibility and the loss of my family home?

    Canadian Police Officer:

    BANG!

      7 Labour MPs given jail sentences!’ Marr skewers Starmer over attacks on Tory sleaze
      KEIR STARMER was brutally skewered by Andrew Marr for comments about Tory sleaze despite his own party seeing seven MP’s handed jail sentences in just ten years.

      During a discussion about the ongoing Owen Paterson scandal, who resigned as an MP following a lobbying debacle, the Labour leader was questioned by Andrew Marr about Claudia Webbe, the Leicester East MP who on Thursday was handed a suspended 10-week jail sentence and 200 hours of community service for threatening an acid attack on a woman.

      The seven Labour MP’s who have been caged in the last ten years are: David Chayter, Eric Illsley, Denis MacShane, Fiona Onasanya, Jim Devine, Elliot Morley and now Claudia Webbe.

      Most recently, in 2019, Fiona Onasanya, the former MP for Peterborough, was sentenced to three-months in prison for perverting the court of justice after she lied to police to avoid being nicked for speeding.

    “A lovely guy,” was the impression Elizabeth Hitchcott had of Emad Al Swealmeen, when he briefly lived with her and husband Malcolm after his arrival in the UK. Last night police named the 32-year-old as the man who died when a homemade bomb blew up in the back of a taxi outside Liverpool Women’s Hospital. Reports suggest he was an asylum seeker from the Middle East who converted to Christianity

    Now we’ve got our sitting ducks in a row

    You’re only supposed to blow the bloody doors off edition.

    After a couple of days of uncertainty it looks as though our authorities have got their story straight and have passed our media notes for their main headline.

    Typically: ‘Taxi suicide bomber was Christian convert‘ (Daily Express) – and if you buy that as the salient point about this bomber chap, then I’ve got a Mersey Bridge to sell you.

    They’ll be telling us next he was a Yorkshire County Cricket fan.

    Perhaps we should demand an apology from the Archbishop of Canterbury – he’s still a sort of a Christian, isn’t he? I joke but his press office is probably drafting a mea culpa in reply to a BBC request, even as we speak.

    Seems the much vaunted police distraction dragnet was somehow full of holes: ‘Liverpool Women’s Hospital explosion: Four freed as suspect killed in blast named‘ (BBC) – predictably.

    More interesting than the media’s apparent delighted pounce upon matters theological is this old chestnut: ‘UK terror threat “severe” after hospital bomb blast‘ (‘i’) – did MI5 suddenly realise there’s still about a million Jesus Botherers living over here?

    Now this threat level business might be vaguely useful to the public if it were predictive or preventative in any way. However, it works completely reactively. It is like a pizza restaurant telling you there may be some delay in delivering your order because the chef is otherwise engaged – but only after you’ve already placed your order: ‘Picture exclusive: Budding pizza chef: Bomber Emad Al Swealmeen‘ (Daily Mail) – sorry, my analogy was a bit strained there.

    The details of where he learned and practised the ingredients for a mozzarella are rather less interesting than where he got his bomb recipe – which one assumes we will not told quite as readily. Despite screamer headlines about Christian conversion – I don’t believe explosive knowhow is any part of the evangelical Alpha Course? My money is on that old anarchist cookbook and he got that off t’internet – which really needs to more strictly regulated, dontchaknow.

    Of course raised threat levels will help protect government and official potential targets, where extra security will be wheeled in.

    This will do nothing for Joe and Joanna Public. In fact, you might reason that us plebs will be at more risk as the next terrorist looks for ever softer targets.

    I’d liken threat level raising to be the equivalence of Lockdowns for protecting the institution of the NHS. Bugger the patients.

    The Mirror has no truck with the whopping coincidence that this incident just happened to be on Remembrance Sunday and occurred at a minute to eleven: ‘Bomber who targeted new mums & babies‘ – I’d like to see a traffic report for the area for the morning because I’m assuming this was a fall back target.

    If only… ‘Uproar in North over broken promises on rail‘ (‘i’)

    Think of the children: ‘Is it time to give children the vote?‘ – that’s your GuardianLong read‘ – Shouldn’t they provide a short concise Cliffs Note for the kiddies? Think of their attention span! I guess the point is that grown ups keep voting bloody Conservative.

    What could go wrong with a children’s parliament? Would the level of debate be raised? “Ummm… I’m telling on you, you said a bad word!

    Kay Burley now saying it’s the governments fault for the recent terror attack.BBC saying a similar thing.

    Constant reference to this governments sleaze but no mention of the jaw dropping earnings by Labour.

    Now a conservative MP making allegations against Boris Johnsons dad going back to 2003. An MP who has not hidden her dislike for the PM.

    Hardly a mention of the brilliant employment figures released this morning…

        Yes, Fed, quite illuminating.

        Keeping my exposure to BBC Marxist propaganda to a bare minimum, I only tune in to gather the headlines and to determine whether WW3 has started somewhere. Then ‘off’. I did linger unusually longer at 0800 to hear of the black cricketer – somewhere – is it Yorkshire? (I have no interest in Cricket so wouldn’t know) having his experiences of white racism being teased out of him. Surely he can disclose all in one fell swoop?
        It occurred to me that this black should trigger the BBC’s juices for a dedicated, daily programme, bit like Toady but purely devoted to a daily update on the horrifically ubiquitous racism perpetrated by whitee. I’m sure the 86% of the population would welcome that. Let’s hear the stories which will need a repeat, ‘catch up’ facility for those white who miss the first broadcast.
        Then there’s the terrorist who kindly blew himself up. Our World’s Most Trusted tells the listener, with unnatural emphasis, he was a Christion convert in 2017 but he had been sectioned since. Apparently, the police are still working on the why’s and wherefores. I wouldn’t normally help our Stazi but in this instance, I’m relenting: If he intended blowing himself up but the taxi driver intervened in that plan (has the latter been charged yet with locking him in the back of the taxi and murder?), maybe he feared death from those of his first religion? We all know what they do to those who leave the Religion of Peace.

    Those who predicted the immediate shift back to Covid scaremongering once COP(out) 26 finished were spot on.

    Another laborious Downing Street presser yesterday afternoon with chief stooge Whitty prattling on about the strain on the NHS. We’ve all done our bit, but the fear is wearing very thin now – anyone with a modicum of intelligence knows that (1) the NHS is not fit for purpose and (2) This is no longer about a virus, it’s simply about control.

    I speak from personal experience… my employer has told me to work from home for the next 10 days as SOMEONE ELSE has tested positive for Covid in the office. I have taked lateral flow tests every week for past 3 months, always negative. But because I’ve chosen not to take the vaccine, I am ostracised and told not to come in. I’m not an antivaxxer, but I have personal and practical reasons not to take the vaccine ( I am from a small family unit, and one is a vulnerable adult).

    The irony being of course that people who are double-jabbed are now effectively classed as unvaccinated because of the slow uptake of the booster. Two jabs? Nope, you’re now the same as the 10% not taking any kind of jab.

    Also, the hypocrisy of some of my colleagues travelling to another regional office today (for no real reason) is not lost on me either. I’m sure I’m not alone, as the two-tier society being created is snowballing.

    Only two events can make this all go away. Either the Queen passes away, or Putin escalates tensions to such a magnitude that troops are sent in and we are at war.

    The covid death count is about 130,000
    These deaths, we are told, are the old, obese and unhealthy with a very tiny number of others.
    This 130,000 would have been filling hospital beds and in general creating huge treatment backlogs with their medical procedures and appointments.

    This 130,000 are now no longer creating this huge waiting list.
    Should that not mean that nhs waiting lists would become smaller and not the 5-6 million (and rising) that they currently are.

    As over 99% with covid have it no worse than a cold or flu why is the waiting list so high.

    On bbbc radio newcastle this morning they had someone on saying the number of old people is getting so high and that was a reason the waiting times are increasing.
    I thought they were all being killed by covid, the unhealthy ones at least, the ones who would be on the waiting lists.

    There’s a lot of manipulated information and now, whatever the government comes out with I automatically disbelieve them.
    It wasn’t always so, you could trust the government a lot more 50 years ago, not completely, but they were much better than today’s lot.
    I believe those on here much more readily than I do the government.

    I also think that GB News, although not perfect, is a much better source of the truth than all the other msm’s and they (still) are a breath of fresh air.

      Up until recently Government has only wielded statutory “power” if elected to do so by a majority of the population.

      Now for the first time in human history an authority of any kind, NHS included can grasp power simply by rolling out demands that have to be obeyed. E.G. Covid restrictions.

      In the past the powers that be would have been held to issuing “advice” and “guidance’. Henceforth they will no longer be required to do that, simply dictate conditions that no-one can vote against but must obey.

      Pretty much totalitarianism really!

We can’t argue, disagree with or be confrontational with anyone who is not white, or there would be an outcry on social media and in the press.

      Failed asylum seekers have had their cases proven false in a court of law, to then state them as fact is to say the court is corrupt or has deliberately made a wrong finding. It is a criminal act called contempt of court.

      In reporting the facts of this case this man claimed to a number of people to be Syrian, and they believed that he was. The man was a liar and he maintained his pretence right up until the end. It only appears to be now that the lie is proven false as others admit to the subterfuge. Cannot really blame the media for this and without knowing why his claim was rejected it’s impossible to know whether it was because they did not believe he was in truth Syrian.

        Dear Winston Smith,

        I noticed that Jon Sopel is talking about impartial and unbiased reporting but his twitter account has three references to his book whilst using the BBC brand. Could the BBC please explain what is happening?

        1) Is BBC Jon Sopel supposed to tell us about the news or his new book?

        2) BBC Jon Sopel’s twitter feed has the BBC name in it and says “Jon Sopel, BBC North America Editor. My book If Only They Didn’t Speak English is out now.” which references his book and not the fact he is an unbiased and impartial reporter.

        3) BBC Jon Sopel’s twitter’s pinned tweet is from 23May2018 and is about .. himself and his book.

        4) Is BBC Jon Sopel’s book 100% BBC approved thought and unbiased and partial?

        5) Shouldn’t BBC Jon Sopel’s twitter be about the latest news and not himself?

        6) When Jon Sopel sells a book does it go to help pay for the BBC TV Tax – to reduce it? As the BBC are promoting it – thus it is promoted by the BBC TV Tax Payer.

        “Impartiality lies at the heart of public service and is the core of the BBC’s commitment to its audiences. It applies to all our output and services – television, radio, online, and in our international services and commercial magazines. We must be inclusive, considering the broad perspective and ensuring the existence of a range of views is appropriately reflected”

      Ahmadis suffer vicious persecution around the world. The main source of fuel for that persecution is in Pakistan, but what happens in Pakistan does not stay in Pakistan.

      I know that from my experience in the Yorkshire market town of Batley. In August 1985, when I was 11 years old, my parents organised an inter-faith meeting in the town hall. It was interrupted and disturbed when, according to West Yorkshire police, more than 1,000 extremists, led by Pakistani hate preachers funded by the Pakistani state, were bused in from around the country. The mob brutally attacked my English mother and my father, a dermatologist; my eldest brother and I; and a Welsh Ahmadi schoolteacher who was with us. My first cousin, a GP, was by chance driving through the market town that day. He saw the mob and saw his family and friends being attacked, so he stopped. He was recognised, pulled from his vehicle and savagely beaten up.

    Sky now seems to alternate between who can comment on their tweets and simply deleting them.

    With luck, Sky will simply give up pretending to be anything worth reading and save a lot of time.

    Two salary politicians
    The first thing the media should mention is that some like Labour’s Dan Jarvis are taking two salaries: one as an MP
    and the other as Metro Mayor of the Sheffield City Region.
    I think Scot’s Nationalists have done similar
    And a Tory MP is a council leader too.

    Some people are very good at delegating so might do a proper job.

    Yet some like ex Sheffield MP Jared rarely did their MP job.

    Jarvis has pledged not to stand at the next mayoral election.

    Stew – there should just not be second jobs for MPs – even those who are sainted ‘doctors ‘… how can they work part time for their constituency – they either don’t know or don’t care about the needs of the people who voted for them and pay them …
    Alternatively – increased the size of constituencies to keep those hardworking politicians fully busy – reduce their number by a third – say …

    Mind you – characters like Christopher chope – who did the legs of his government last night must be worth his seat ..

      That’s the history of the job Fed, it was always seen as a part time job which is why they don’t sit in the mornings.

      Thats one of the reasons why the pay is so low, so if we ban then from outside funding we will have to raise the rate of pay, or perhaps we should just reduce it to nothing and allow only the very very wealthy to rule over us.

      The average salary in the City of London is now £115 K meaning MPs are way below the average salary and without the expenses to make living in London possible MPs would simply not be able to afford to live close enough to Parliament to represent their constituents.

      As I posted on the last thread, Angela Rayner was gifted £180K from 11 different sources in the first three months of the year, she is reportedly a multi millionairess, I find this obscene . She has formed a company called Angela Rayner Limited which you can find at companies house.

      What were these payments for and who made them to her? The same goes for all the other MPs. We should be paying them enough so they don’t need these top ups, they should be banned from receiving any money – and their relatives too. They should be banned from taking any other paid work on leaving office if they have been a minister and receive the salary for the job in compensation.

      This is the only way we can avoid the corruption which began in the BLiar years when tens if not hundreds of millions found their way into the pockets of his friends when they left office, and left devastation in their wake changing this country for the worse forever.
