    What concerns me, and doubtless soon the bbc, is the utter lack of disaffected hikers in this image.

      But… they’re all ginger! Surely that counts as some kind of ‘ethnic minority’ group? (Maybe not in Scotland actually).

      ‘Ginger Hikers racially harassed online by far-right trolls’ – tomorrow’s BBC headline.

      Honestly, it’s nice to see kids out enjoying the stunning Scottish countryside.

    The Editorial bits on GBNews are raising the game of broadcast journalism – first there was the ‘coast guy ‘ now there is Colin brazier who delivers striking and thoughtful pieces –
    Such as the one today on the anniversary of Charles 1 firing off the English Civil War versus the swamp fixation with all things American – it’s on the twitter if you want to see it .

    I’ve often mused on why the British media have such a fixation on a foreign country 5000 miles away – I suppose being bred on the false ‘special relationship ‘ and the constant import of US culture are some reasons ….

    .. elsewhere – without much fanfare GBNews on DAB has launched and it works ,

    Time for the new new year Thread . Moan if you think it’s too early

          @Up2snuff Yes just use their YouTube stream

          I wind back to an earlier time, increase the speed to 1.5
          and start tapping L to skip when adverts/news/weather come on
          That way I can listen to 2 hours in just 1 hour

      ‘I’ve often mused on why the British media have such a fixation on a foreign country 5000 miles away’

      America represents the ultimate victory of plucky immigrants overthrowing their fascist English overlords. Leftists are also shameless attention-seekers and love a pound note, despite their tedious mithering of capitalism. The USA offers them all the grandstanding and shiny baubles their empty hearts desire. It’s their cultural Xanadu.

    Lord Ahmed: Former peer guilty of trying to rape girl
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-59607283

    A very short article. No analysis or background about historic Rotherham rapes by Muslims. Just the basic facts.

    Will be gone from the front page by morning.

      They were raped by multiple perpetrators, trafficked to other towns and cities in the north of England, abducted, beaten, and intimidated. There were examples of children who had been doused in petrol and threatened with being set alight, threatened with guns, made to witness brutally violent rapes and threatened they would be next if they told anyone. Girls as young as 11 were raped by large numbers of male perpetrators. {Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Exploitation in Rotherham – 1997 – 2013 – Jay OBE –
      pdf}

      In two of the cases we read, fathers tracked down their daughters and tried to remove them from houses where they were being abused, only to be arrested themselves when police were called to the scene.

    As a new wave of BBC ‘fact checks’ swing in, I wonder if they are on this bandwagon anywhere yet?

    Certainly pretty sure the Graun was.

    GMOs being untested science they don’t like.

      I saw the statement from the heroic comrades who thanks those who supported them.
      The never thanked the BBC which was rather discourteous.

    Border Force stand up to Priti.
    They will go on strike rather than engage in turnin’ around illegal dinghy riders.

    So here is my question. If Border Force go on strike who will taxi the illegals here?
    Might be too much for the RNLI.
    Perhaps Boris will ask the Navy to help with the repopulation programme
