    Here’s a unpalatable story the media appear very reluctant to let you know about. It appeared briefly on the Manchester Evening News site.

    https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/oldham-child-sexual-abuse-inquiry-22765143

    It concerns the cover up by the Labour party of the rape of a 12 year old girl by Pakistani Muslim men the leader of which was given a sentence of just 6 years. (he could have and should have been deported).

    The poor girl was reportedly raped or sexually assaulted 20 times in just one night, and Labour thought the way to go was to cover it up.
    It’s a national scandal far worse than Boris’s party, but the cowardly useless incompetent Tories won’t run with it because they are as bad as Labour anyway.

    Just to make matters even worse Burnhams Gestapo have refused to co-operate with the enquiry and have refused to allow their own internal reports to be published, trying as usual to hide behind the data protection act.

    The report is due to be published soon, but expect scant press coverage of the criticisms – because it’s Pakistani’s and Labour and often the two mixed together.

    People need to be held properly accountable, lose their jobs, be prosecuted etc, but we all know under a Marxist state that isn’t going to happen because it never does.

    Brillo has put up a ‘ free’ spectator article comparing SAGE doom and gloom predictions against real life .

    Look yourself but the Spectator asks whether the processes SAGE use to be so crap in various predictions needs to be examined very very carefully .

    Cant see SAGE being around for very long …

    God I wish there was a big disaster somewhere, an outbreak of Ebola, or 5,000 immigrants lined up on the beaches, just to give us a break from the never ending and now boring reporting of ‘Boris must go’ for the past week. The same agenda of the public being interviewed tearfully how they lost a relative in that particular week 2 years ago, really has become a yawn fest. We never get these pictures when thousands die each year with flu and other respiratory diseases.

    We know the guy has a multitude of failings, even Keir Starmar has been pictured knocking back the booze with others in his office, so the whole shower aren’t worth a light. But this concerted campaign is clearly being managed by Dom Cummings, who wants him out at any cost, and I think he is far more dangerous than anything Boris is guilty of.

      Despite how awful Boris has been from the start, out of 350 Tory MPs just 35 (Maximum) have signed no confidence letters showing what a bunch of cowardly useless incompetents they all are.
      They know if they don’t change many of them will lose their seats in a landslide as big as Blairs, but they are just to scared of their own shadows to get rid.

      Brissles, my dear old thing (well, it is the cricket season down under and England have lost another Test Match) have you not heard about the undersea volcano erupting in the Pacific? I would like Boris Johnson to go ‘a bit Bob Hoskins’ (as in ‘The Long Good Friday’) and erupt over Whitehall and certain elements in the MSM, including the BBC.

    Gosh Nadine you’ve certainly given the BBC a little fright . The next talk about the license tax ( not fee) will be the last . Goodness me that means they’ve only got another 15 years to demand money with menaces . How can anyone plan on that ?
    Don’t you think they should be given more time , or have they been a bit naughty about impartiality?
    They certainly have a laugh at you Tories . Mischievous lot .

    BBC licence fee to be abolished ! If this is true then the Champagne needs to be put on ice, this is the news we have been waiting for, but it hasn’t been reported welsewhere.

    Is it true?

      I think they just got confused ( kidults at the weekend ) because the charter ends – ….. it’s a long time and an election away ….
      Much of the twitter stuff seems be ‘look at all this stuff you get from the BBC for the price of a —— fill in here —— but my point is that you have to have it whether you want it or not to have a TV ….
      Maybe they can explain what would stay if the licence was ended and replaced by subscription …?

        I almost got into a fight with some twat who was trying to explain what I could get for my 45p a day. I tried to point out to him that I mostly didn’t want it. I also asked him where he shopped and he said his local Asda. I asked him how happy he would be to pay £3 per week on top of his shopping, most of which went to Waitrose, to shop at Asda and it would have to be paid, by law, even if he didn’t ever shop there. The bluster was so funny. Being left wing he didn’t see the hypocritical crap he was dishing out.

    Looks like it is open season on politicians at present on the BBC. I thought hunting with dogs was banned? On ‘Sunday’ on BBC R4 7.10 a.m. they had quite a go at President Biden, mostly from a Roman Catholic perspective although one female vox pop provider described his first year in office as ‘lacklustre’.

    Shocked, I was shocked I tell you. Attacking Beijing Biden, whatever next.

    I am still waiting for the BBC to mention Keir Starmer’s breach of Lockdown rules, partying with Party colleagues.

    Could be a long wait. Jonny Dymond ignored it on TWotWee at 1 p.m..

    Boris the fight back …. It’s started.

    To try and get the voters back he has promised to do some of the things he promised to do before the election.
    Well, it worked then!

    Also, I’ve just seen the first episode of ‘The Bay’
    Is it ‘The Bay of Bengal’

    To be fair they did allow a couple of white men on there, one who was rear ended by the dusky policewoman who started off shouting at her until she put him in his place.
    The other, a policeman who is openly hostile/racist.

    Lots of other boxes ticked as we all know only too well.

    Wee Laura has excelled herself with: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/
    ‘Kuenssberg: What’s a PM to do when even kids joke about his future?’

    Checking through the article, apart from the headline, a word search shows up neither ‘kids’ nor ‘joke’ in the entire article. Where is the evidence that ‘even kids joke about his future’? IMO, the kids will at least know who Boris Johnson is: they will know about his hair, his father Stanley and probably will know about Wilf’s hair too. I suspect that the majority of kids will never have heard of Sir Keir Starmer, Sir Ed Davey – or Ms Kuenssberg for that matter.

    What an appalling piece of journalism this article is.

    BBC WEB-SITE Watch #1 – Is this claim by the BBC true?

    Time for Marianna to spring into action and check this claim: “A BBC source said of the fee freeze: “Anything less than inflation would put unacceptable pressure on the BBC finances after years of cuts.” ”

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-60014514

    As I think I can remember when the Licence Fee was raised from £3,10 shillings to a whopping £5 for BBC Radio AND BBC television I don’t think that claim holds any water. In addition, it is something of a Labour Party mantra about the NHS, Education and Social Services. Funny that the BBC should use it of themselves.

    I wonder why. Er, no I don’t. BBC = the Labour Party.

    £5 in 1970 is about £82.50 in 2022s money so the BBC Licence Fee – now only for television – looks very expensive and not cut in the slightest at £159.

        Doc, iirc, the D-G has just had a £75K pay increase. He will lose much of that in the April 2022 National Insurance increase, which is why the BBC are constantly moaning about it on air on R4. The D-G, Lineker, Norton, Vine could all cut their tax bills by having their pay reduced.

        Simples.

        🙂

        PS. Just done some more sums. During the Blair/Brown years, the TV Licence Fee ran below inflation. So what is all that about ‘Tory cuts’?

    Watching Ladypartsfile earlier I saw people in Somerset planting 500 oak trees, the plantings were about 3 feet apart , other measurements are available. Anyway this dozy tart was there and the beeb presenter asked why she was planting them. Out comes the usual crap, global warming, climate change et al. Has no-one told the divvy that if we reduce CO2 to zero they’ve just wasted a day and God knows how much brass, when they all die, but, hang on they’ll never see these trees in all their glory will they, nor will their offspring.

      NV, and if they do not remember to re-space those saplings in 10 years most of them will die. I know of sapling sites (various species, not oaks) where after planting the sites have been completely forgoten about. The growing saplings then try to burst out of their corrugated plastic tubes and some don’t succeed, dying in the process. Most of these climate loonies are completely ignorant of the world of nature and do not realise that woodland requires management and maintenance.

    Forgive me for my scepticism but this has a lefty foul odour about it.

    I think the real truth is that the BBC, supported by The Guardian etc, will now spend the next 5 years trying to bury democracy and the Conservative party as they have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

    This is going to get bloody messy!

    Unless the Conservatives can come up with a real Churchill instead of the buffoon version we have right now…. It’s never going to happen.

      Why no photos ?
      One is black, one is Punjabi (both in Mail photo below)

      The breaches all occurred between 2017 and 2019.
      – Allegations made against PC Karina Kandohla were not proven.
      Why does the BBC report fail to mention that is her husband who was sacked. ?

      – Ch Supt Paul Martin and Ch Insp Davinder Kandohla were found to have breached standards of professional behaviour.
      Both were ruled to have failed to declare conflicts of interest in a promotion, been involved in improper spending of police funds and mistreated more junior colleagues.

      – Sgt James Di-Luzio was found to have misused a corporate credit card and behaved badly towards his junior colleagues and was issued with management advice.

      Those cases have been removed from the Met database search
