Is it possible that the government has finally realised that the State Broadcaster is at war with it ? And is going to do something about it – by freezing the Licence fee ? It will be a small step towards the end of the BBC in its current form – and can’t come too soon. The government must put something in the coming manifesto about changing the BBC too .
Start the Week 17 January 2022 THE DORRIES ANNOUNCEMENT
Bookmark the permalink.
A Sunday newspaper, the Express, has a story that the PM will scrap all Pandemic restrictions in England in ten days time if the situation remains similar to now, ie. new infections falling daily. I wonder what I will be hearing on BBC R4 on the TOADY Programme tomorrow, Monday. Will it be a succession of ‘scientific experts’ stating that this is a careless thing to do and will cost lives? Will the Sucker in charge of the Labour Party say more restrictions are needed and the PM must resign?
I for one can’t wait until all those numpties with muzzles are outnumbered by normal people in shops etc.
I don’t expect for one minute they will accede graciously, so expect mask wars to kick in.
We all know already which side the BBC will be on if it presents an opportunity to have another go at Boris.
Feels liberating somehow walking naked faced among the masked crowd in a shop.

If you don’t look back you miss things
The BBC report on the two sacked senior police omits their photos
.. Guess why ?
.. The end of our page 3 has their photos
Such bad language from plod!
I ask you!
A picture launches a thousand ships!
Great line on BBC text pages in reply to Nadine’s ‘…the days of the elderly being threatened with prison and bailiffs knocking on doors are over….’
A BBC ‘source’ said there had been similar speculation before…
As an example of unbridled arrogance, that’s as good as they come. Every little helps.
Are the Tories going to scrap the TV tax ?
I read it that Nadine was going to make the 2027 negotiations the last negotiations , ie ; ten more years after 2027 .
Now I know the Conservatives might not be in power in 2027 , but they`ll talk the talk .
The Tories are doing their usual thing , riding two horses at the same time . They are so practiced at it they dont recognise it .
They do it with immigration . Talk tough , then on Question Time with a BBC audience they put a humanitarian face on and say they want to stop the dinghy crossings because its dangerous – for the invaders . They , the Tories , will find a safer way for the invaders to get here and cut out the traffikers .
They did it with EUrope . To us they “appreciate ” our concerns , will stop the EU meddling , stand up to EUrope , stop federalisation etc . To the EUropeans they are passionate about EUrope , committed EUropeans , will play a positive role etc .
And so to the BBC . To the Daily Mail they want to reign in the BBC , bring it to account , stop it bullying pensioners , make it abide by its charter .
When interviewed on the BBC the Tory (Nadine ) is proud of the BBC , thinks the BBC is Britain , a great institution etc .
The Tory Party = the Janus Party .
Nibor
“The Tory Party = the Janus Party .”
The present Tory Party = The Consocialist Party.
IE………………..
Going to cut immigration?
Going to rid us of the Al Beeb Broadcasting? Corporation’s Tax ?
Going to get us out of the EU etc etc etc .
Unless their MPs put Great Britain before themselves they will be looking for new jobs .#
We lent Peppa Pig our votes and he wasted them
The Red wall will collapse and the little land of The Red Dragon will go back to Liebour, UKIP or The Reform Party .
England – take this as a plea from your cousins in the West and the North of these great islands
Taffman,
Zahawi, interviewed by Robinson on Toady earlier, said that they follow the Manifesto. Zahawi who apparently came from Baghdad probably thought that working his way and integrating into the upper echelons of political power in the UK so as to learn ‘what democracy is all about’ (Ha,ha) has learnt it really is no different from being under Saddam. He can lie as well as the best of them.
Where in the Manifesto does it list the efforts of the Government to force us to abandon our petrol / diesel cars? – shortly
Theresa May on immigration … from ‘hard’ line to ‘pink no line’ …
2012 … “Two and a half years ago, the coalition government was formed, and we made a clear promise to the British public. After thirteen years of uncontrolled mass immigration, this government would reduce and control immigration.” – Theresa May 2012
2015 … “Because when immigration is too high (no figure given), when the pace of change is too fast, it’s impossible to build a cohesive society.” – Theresa May 2015
2018 … “Over the years, overall, immigration has been good for the UK. It has brought people with different backgrounds, different outlooks here to the UK,” – Theresa May 2018
Stop looking at what they say and look at what they do, by their fruits you shall know them.
The Tories aren’t a Janus Party at all, they are a bunch of Marxists who say weasel words to their party members who really have nowhere else to go and have to put up with the Socialism.
Something to chew on. The top ten EV battery manufacturers in the World are ALL based in Asia and particularly in China.
National Suicide on a Global scale and all supported by our governments who are obviously too thick to work out the consequences.
Doesn’t Tesla make its own batteries
an it chopped down a forest to build its German battery factory ?
– Envision’s Sunderland plant produces batteries for the Nissan Leaf and other electric vehicles
The Chinese owner of the UK’s only large-scale battery factory has revealed plans for a huge expansion as electric car demand soars
https://theguardian.com/business/2021/oct/25/uk-battery-gigafactory-electric-car-sunderland-envision-nissan
Nope Tesla buy from almost all from China although they probably take great pains to hide it. Cash and profit always trump national loyalty.
Electric cars are going to be a disaster, but a great profitable one for electric car manufacturers. It will be the next big thing after the vaccine that does not prevent covid.
The manufacture of EV is far more expensive then petrol engine cars. The battery requires rare earth materials. The very name tells us that it will be more expensive.
As the batteries are expensive, they have to be recycled. The minerals used are such that the recycling is very energy intensive. More unnecesary expense.
Petrol engines gives power from the primary source to where it is used- in the car., and within seconds when it is needed. It stops producing power when the its not needed.
The fuel for the EV is electricity produced from the very same fossil fuel, but at a considerable distance. More expense for transporting it by cables. It isn’t produced when required, and so has to be stored or just wasted as turning turbines. More inefficient and thus expensive.
EV batteries are far pollutant in the long term.
Petrol engines pollutant is CO2, which is not a pollutant but a life sustaining gas, and is readily absorbed by plants.
All this nonsense when we give politicians the powers to decide what “is good for the people”

China’s Envision AESC to create $1.4bn UK electric battery plant for Nissan

Anyone with even a scintilla of intelligence will therefore make damn sure they acquire the best, latest, most affordable ‘suck, squeeze, bang, blow’ they can.
As you say Digg, the implications of this are immense!
Indeed. Petrol and Diesel engines are best for transport. All this nonsense is because politicians have listened to environmentalists.
They have already damaged half the economy listening to computer modellers and the like for a disease that should have been left to individual GPs and their patients. But no, they had to go for the statist solution like the soviets. Result is a disaster not just in deaths but the inhuman isolation of people from their dying loved ones . This cant be remedied. This is a war crime and should be prosecuted as such.
Harry is indeed the Worlds top and absolute tosser!
An even bigger hypocrite than Lewis Hamilton.
Harry’s children in UK, like when ?
Archie left ..he was born 6th May 2019
Lilibet 4 June 2021 ..never been in UK has she ?
I don’t think the Queen has met her.
Watching BBC2 snooker. The Masters has just finished. Watching the credits there are NINETY people mentioned. I know it is eight days of events, but the longest session hasn’t been more than 4 hours.
The BBC have to have somewhere to fit all those hangers on they employ to justify their license fee don’t they?
I agree that it probably shouldn’t take more than a dozen staff to cover snooker but they do have a VERY big trough to feed!
He was a Muslim trying to free a guilty Muslim terrorist woman, he just picked the softest target that he thought would have bargaining power!
Also he probably naturally despises Jews due to his warped religion and upbringing!
Much like the BBC in fact!
Reportedly… gained entrance by claiming to be homeless.
Seems to work in a grander scale here.
Only they get to trash 4* hotels for bad WiFi.
Its quite amazing. This Muslim goes to America, and immediately shops for weapons. In a matter of just two weeks in the USA, attacks a synagogue.
How likely is that he targets the one synagogue, probably the only one in a large area, when there are hundreds of churches, mosques and temples in the area.
But everyone, including the FBI, is denying that the terrorist is an anti-Semite. Very likely the FBI and the DoJ are investigationg if he has any links with Donald Trump.
If Harry is at risk from anyone, apart that is from his potty wife, then it sure as Hell isn’t from the mythical bogeyman, “the far right”.
He could possibly be under threat from some nutty muzzie group due to his royal and military connections, but that would be all.
I used to like LBC, but now it’s appalling, just as biased, bigoted and untruthful as the BBC.
I mean, they employ James O’Brien, ffs…
I suppose, just suppose Harry might think he is at risk of being kidnapped and held for ransom. Problem is I don’t suppose the Royal Family would feel inclined to pay, in fact they might pay the kidnappers to keep him (and his wife).
Daytime, probably, but night time stuff isn’t half bad, as although Nick Abbott gets a bit lefty sometimes, and Darren Adam is similar, they usually avoid the sort of stuff which would keep you awake with rage, and I often doze off with the earplugs akimbo, and wake up wondering who the heck is chortling in our house!
Steve Allen is very entertaining, and perfect for general background banter. I stop listening after that as there’s too much to do these days, what with the fires, cleaning, Hoovering, getting lunch ready for Senora O’Blene etc!
Actually, Steve Allen has his pet hates, and Harry ‘thing’ is one of them, as is the Beckham family! Great fun sometimes!
I see tonight the “The Great British Pottery Throwdown” is the latest farce to get the forced diversity makeover disease!
Last episode for me!
Not the kettle and pot stuff is it?
Sunday News at Ten, no mention yet of the Blackburn/Texas terrorist.
Edit, the first six items including Cricket and it wasn’t mentioned , it came up after 10 minutes, I don’t think they mentioned he was a Muslim.
WB,
Surely you and the public should be happy with knowing it was, “a British National” wot dun it…………….
Its a mental health issue. Some suggest Islam is a mental health issue.
Nothing whatever to do with the fact he is a supporter of a fanatic Jihadi, and attacked a synagogue. Probably the only one in hundreds of square miles.
It’s those ‘men’ again.
Quote from BBC webshite. In denial, as ever.
‘A man who took four hostages at a synagogue in a suburb of Dallas, Texas, has been identified by the FBI as British citizen Malik Faisal Akram, 44.’
Err, no, BBC Leftoids. You are not British because it may say so in your passport but because of what you think and feel, believe, and your values.
The word Muslim occurs twice, near the end of the report. In neither case was it used as a descriptor of the terrorist. And guess what? He had ‘mental health issues’. How very convenient. Again.
Maybe Trump was right trying to stop Muslims enter the USA?
Trump is right.
He tried to hint that we should consider Britain First, as he was doing for America First.
But he was shouted down by everyone in Britain. The idea of putting Britain first by the great and the good of Britain, was utterly reprehensible to the same.
Anjhem CHoudary is British!
I am educated by the UK and taxpayer.
I use tolerance and freedom to spread hatred of the UK.
I go on the welfare system whilst I hate the UK, being paid by the taxpayer.
I tell BBC’s Stacey Dooley I will not follow UK laws.
I get 2 years and 6 months being looked after by prison guards, paid by the taxpayer.
I get released 2 and a half years early for hating the UK.
The UK taxpayer pays £2 million to watch me with 23K other terrorists.
If you disagree you are Islamophobic and Sajid Javid will arrest you.
.. Anjem Choudary mocks the tolerance of the West ..
“Nadine Dorries: BBC licence fee announcement will be the last”

I challenge all you ‘legal eagles’ to read the report and ‘pick the bones’ out of her statement .
A load of bluster anyone?
Taffman ,
I think I`ll know after Jan27th . That`s the latest Threatogram I`ve received today – Will I Be In ?
Can`t tell you much about the threatogram as i`ve not opened it and stuffed into a drawer with others to be returned via any goon that dares visit .

Just kicking it down the road.
Her comments come as unconfirmed reports say the government is expected to freeze the £159 fee for two years.
She said “the days of the elderly being threatened with prison sentences and bailiffs knocking on doors” were over.
If she means that there will be no persecution and prosecution of those that do not pay the BBC tax, then I would like to see it.
Mind you Pug , it`s good to see the BBC cheering on those African STATES that Britain forged out of several African NATIONS and tribes .
“Millions under weather alerts as major winter storm hits US and Canada”

“Millions”.
Anyone for Global Warming ?
A storm, in winter, in a Northern Continent, is news?
Partygates is manufactured outrage
.. Your life is no different today
than it was 5 weeks ago when you didn’t know some civil servants had been sitting at a table in No 10 garden drinking a beer after work.
Also I do wonder if top personnel weren’t vaccinated early, or in pre-release trial programmes.
Secondly If they left their own workgroup’s table and stood next to the table of another workgroup, that would be their own risk.
Unsigned but I suspect it’s from Linecker because it sounds just like his promise to house a whole weeks worth of invaders in his outhouses.
Anyway I welcome Nadine’s announcement . Whether she , or her successor, is able to force through the abolition of the LF and its replacement with a voluntary subscription, remains to be seen but at least she is saying the right thing.
What will be particularly fun will be the gnashing of teeth and wailing from the liberal lovies . It will sweep covid , parties , wallpaper off the front pages of the guardian, independent et al . Their fury will be on a par with their hysterical reaction to Brexit after the referendum. Can’t wait.
DT,
“but at least she is saying the right thing.” Therein LIES the problem. Actions speak……….. She’s just joining Priti Useless in, saying the right thing.
Good one Tomo. A classic from Viz!
Let’s se if this tweet from BBC’s China man makes it through the editorial guidelines….
Where did those 4 Omicron “Patient Zero” diplomats in Botswana in November 2021 come from?
BBC back on the warpath with partygate level 10 this morning.
What is being said by our tradgic BBC about the drinks party held by Sarmer during lockdown?
The BBC have sent a camera team to Lancashire this morning to get some carefully selected comments from passers by slagging Boris. You can see straight through their plan. Manufacture artificial Red Wall rage using highly selective clips.
Chris Morris of the BBC appears to have drawn the short straw as the face of BBC outrage. I guess this is partly because he doesn’t have a W1A accent (that red wall again!) – plus if it goes tits up, he is expendable.
They are like children, I hope it backfires big time!
No idea what could possibly have triggered this BBC tantrum!
digg….
Sky tried to do the same. They sent a team to Boris Johnsons constituency to gauge the mood. But fair play to Sky the correspondent he had to admit that more than half he questioned said they still supported Johnson and were not interested with something that happened nearly two years ago.
BBC are not capable of submitting a fair view if it goes against there political view and agenda.
You can find anybody if you try hard enough who shares you political view.
That’s *manufacturing outrage* like I said.
I can guess that Bozza told Nadine to hang around on doing anything about the BBC money tree, until he had a real reason to divert the attention, and this seems to be why the revelations on how the gross funding for beeboids will be capped, are now more important than a few c.serpents guzzling their Stellas in the garden at No 10!
‘Harrygate’s the latest one, and the feeble beeb are still way behind with the story, probably because they don’t have to work to get their dosh.

Mental health issues, again!
‘Corrupt’ FBI should be ‘eliminated’ for statement on Texas synagogue hostage taker:
Critics are slamming the FBI as ‘solely focused on destroying the domestic enemies of the Democratic Party’
The FBI is facing backlash on social media after an official said that the Texas synagogue hostage taker’s demands were “not specifically related to the Jewish community.”
He allegedly demanded the release of a Pakistani woman who is imprisoned in Texas on charges of trying to kill American service members in Afghanistan.
She has a history of anti-Semitism, including demanding that jurors in her case be DNA tested and removed “if they have a Zionist or Israeli background.”

“When the BBC Stopped Even Pretending”
We can expect the share price of dominion to rise to new heights as the Democrats panic re the mid terms and the 2024 election. Lots of those who participated in the attempts to illegally depose President Trump know that this time round with a large Republican majority in both houses and a Republican President , they are likely to be made to pay for their crimes. Prison beckons.
Biden has been a ‘bigot’ and ‘propagandist’ throughout his entire career in politics: Mark Levin
Mark Levin said, ‘Biden can barely get his act together to give a speech on any substantive topic’
The Fox News host said the Democrats are trying to implement their socialist agenda in order to consolidate power for themselves. Levin asked whether America should still be considered the United States or the “United States of the Democrat Party.”
“The Democrat Party is constantly pushing, pushing, pushing and often pushing illegalities to change our nation not for the better, but for their power,” he said.
“Why is it that the Democrat Party’s agenda, no matter how preposterous, extreme or outrageous, becomes the agenda for the nation, becomes the issue in front of the nation that has to be debated and discussed endlessly?,” Levin asked.
He added that if Americans aren’t on board with Biden’s agenda, they are considered pariahs.
“If you don’t support what the Democrats want to do, then democracy will die. Who talks like this? This is a cheap imitation of Benito Mussolini. That’s what it is,” Levin said.
“They talk about dictatorship. My God! [Biden] swings from the most outrageous, irresponsible spending bill that he can’t get passed to the most outrageous, outrageous attempt to nationalize to change our voting system, violating the federal constitution, violating the authority of the state legislatures. And if you disagree with Joe Biden and his party and the propagandists and surrogates who support it, then there’s something wrong with you,” Levin continued.
Levin believes the media and Democrats work together to destroy “Americanism” and to implement a “Marxist” agenda. One example of this, according to Levin, can be seen in the way the establishment treated former President Trump. Because Trump was an outsider, Levin said, they had to bring out the big guns to take him down.

The Mole has dispatched a team.

I’m so cold it feels like I’m sleeping outside’
Every night, Thelma Spalding goes round her house trying to switch off every appliance. It’s not an easy feat for the 54-year old, who relies on carers and walks with a stick. But she’s following the advice given to her by her energy company as she desperately tries to keep her fuel bills down. Thelma had to leave her job as an NHS support worker a year ago after being assaulted at work. Since then, her monthly gas and electricity bill has shot up from £44 to £99, meaning she can afford to heat only one room.
Thelma, who lives in Wednesbury in the West Midlands, is one of millions of people set to be affected by changes to the energy price cap, which sets the maximum that energy firms can charge customers on a standard tariff. It comes into effect in April and is expected to rise steeply due to a big increase in global wholesale prices. Analysis by the Resolution Foundation, a think tank focusing on living standards, suggests that a price-cap rise of more than 50% will mean average household energy bills go up by more than £700 a year, to about £2,000.

The Mole also has some revelations from Ruthie D, who has opened up on her mental health, as all in the public eye appear to do.

TOADY Watch #1 – whoooo hoooo, Nick Robinson is hopping mad, Rick Nobinson is very angry
The BBC Gravy Train has had notice of its derailment. The Prime Interview, Nadhim Zahawi MP, SoS for Education is the candidate and acquits himself well, playing a straight bat to Robinson’s questions. It is starting to dawn on people that there is ‘a very British Coup attempt’ underway from parts of the MSM and the Establishment. Lord Grade has twigged it. He knows what’s what in the BBC and was interviewed by JustRemainIn Webb before 8 a.m..
If only Toenails was allowed to find his voice.
The Daily Telegraph has an interestingly headlined thought piece this morning: ‘Standing ovation addicts are really applauding themselves‘
Just like the alien habbit of taking the knee, which inexplicably crossed the Atlantic recently, the cultural hegemon for mindless mass performing seal impressions we learn is decidedly American:
‘It’s a trend that has regrettably swept over from the US: riotous applause for unexceptional performances‘ – the Telegraph is apparently concerned by the self-conscious performative antics of fellow habitués of the classical concert hall and of the opera house – apparently those venuses are open again.
But this reader is inevitably reminded of the inane NHS doorstep clappers and pot-bangers. Of course that nonsense first started in the US: ‘New York City spent two minutes clapping for coronavirus first responders‘ (CNN March 2020)
‘New Yorkers leaned out their windows and flooded their balconies with two minutes of applause for essential workers on Friday. They applauded the first responders, nurses, doctors and other health care workers who are helping to fight the city’s coronavirus outbreak. The applause erupted from all over the city at 7 p.m. and lasted for several minutes. The word about the clapping spread through social media… Residents of other cities across the world have taken to their windows and balconies to show their appreciation for health care workers. Italy, Spain and India all gathered to show their support for those fighting coronavirus.‘ – what a good way of letting people – who might not have noticed – know there was a world pandemic going on.
On a similar virtue-signalling note the coronaphobic ‘i’ newspaper goes with: ‘Hidden heroes of the NHS‘ – and gosh, we’ve heard so little in the media from the NHS lately (sarc) however, my GP has certainly hidden himself away. I hear others are told their family doctor is too busy earning jab premiums to spend time examining patients.
Riotous applause for unexceptional performances, indeed.
‘Essential workers tell i how they coped‘ – sorry, but that rastafarian-accented “tell I” gets me every time. Judging by the accompanying pic, our hardly svelte, rather generously built yet reasonably typical, I’d wager, nursey rocked out on air guitar – I’m guessing the photo credit is TikTok. Think of a white Fats Domino in PPE, pounding an axe rather than the keys.
I see the Auld Alliance is back together battling arm-in-arm shoulder-to-shoulder against the common enemy: ‘PM accused of attacking BBC to save his own skin‘ (Guardian) – that’s not an unreasonable analysis. Now, why do we think the BBC and Guardian attacked Boris? That one could be more tricky to explain.
‘Texas synagogue gunman was British‘ – admits the formerly patriotic Times. The only good news here is the past tense.
Scary news, scary quote marks are the order of the day at the Gruan: ‘British man named in synagogue “terror act”‘ – as the Guardianistas endevour to put a bit distance as wide as the pond between certain journalistically protected communities and terrorism. Britain has to own it in Guardian land.
‘Tory MPs ask what’s the difference between Sir Keir’s beer with colleagues and PM’s Downing St “work event”?‘ (Daily Mail) – in answer to that little conundrum I’d say the media treatment and emphasis as promoted by the majority of press titles and broadcasters.
I see the freebie Metro is advertising McPlant burgers again – I sense there’s at least one Serbian-born tennis champ who will be perhaps our last hold out against veganism. Kudos oncemore for the Metro’s nice line in tabloidese: ‘Go pack Djokovic‘
Talking of hold outs…
And to some market news to cheer us from the FT: ‘GKS and Pfizer hold out for £60bn consumer arm bid from Unilever. Big investers optimistic‘
The BBC are still finding ways to squeeze out new lines on the tsunami story which might otherwise have blown itself out and which hardly troubles our print frontpages: ‘Pacific volcano: New Zealand sends flight to assess Tonga damage‘ – but then again the BBC tends not to report on bloated big pharma profits of late – on which subject one is forced to conclude… it’s an ill wind…
A truly popular meme/GIf is up BBC fave Meryl’s nostrils as she is applauding Roman, with the camera locked on her.
Possibly not working as PR intended.
Translation : “The image of Meryl Streep’s applauding (along with nearly everyone else present) was indeed taken from the Academy Awards ceremony of 2003, just after Roman Polanski was announced as the winner in the Best Director category for his film The Pianist.” Snopes says
One difference is she actually stood up to applaud.
I checked the video
It is the same as the gif.
As others have noted – Sophie doing a better job than Marr (she’ll be in trouble).
Dan makes a claim.
Springster likes it.
Awaiting, ‘envy of’, ‘transparent’ and ‘impartial’ in days to come.

Blimey… erring on #ccbgb
Even Kate Hoey over the parapet.
That went well then, Dan.
Maybe they should get Nagging back out to tell us we are scum?
The obvious answer to this ‘respected around the world’ justification of the BBC , is that, if it so highly regarded by the rest of the world , then the rest of the world will be eager to pay a subscription for its services !
@GaryLineker · 18h
The BBC is revered, respected and envied around the world. It should be the most treasured of National treasures. Something true patriots of our country should be proud of. It should never be a voice for those in government whoever is in power.
Reduce the BBC gender pay gap – pay everyone £1 million including the canteen staff.
Double – forgive me father for I have sinned —- wondering what the official ( Robinson ) BBC response to the threatened promised licence fee changes I listened to Today and broke a New Year resolution .
I was richly rewarded – they had that chirpy finance bloke on saying that the feckless and others should all get cheap energy when it goes up in April . He suggested £300.
Meanwhile my taxes and energy costs will be going up to subsidise a lot of peoples’ sky and Netflix subscription ….
……this was followed by a load of stuff about the licence tax – £160? Well why not end the BBC and use that £160 to pay the energy bills . Cut the fuel VAT and bobs your uncle .

Texas Synagogue Siege: the BBC News mentions two teenagers in Manchester who have been arrested in a cross Atlantic investigation. An immigrant to Britain of Asian/Arabic origin travels to America, buys weapons and holds hostages in a Synagogue while calling for the release of a US imprisoned terrorist of Asian/Arabic origin and the BBC claim that his motives are unknown.

Anjem Choudary: Radical preacher’s public speaking ban to be lifted
Published18 July 2021
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-57878910
Radical preacher Anjem Choudary’s ban on speaking in public is to be lifted as conditions which were imposed after his release from prison come to an end.
Choudary, from Ilford in east London, was jailed for five-and-a-half years in 2016 after being convicted of inviting support for the Islamic State group.
He headed a now-banned group supporting an extreme interpretation of Islam.
He was released on licence from HMP Belmarsh in 2018 and was subject to more than 20 conditions at the time.
His licence conditions, which included a ban on public speaking and talking to the media, will automatically expire at midnight.
This article says It all. ‘ it’s lovely to be able to support your country’ says one for example. Of course not meaning Britain at all.
Having had work colleagues from India etc they always refer to ‘home’ as India or wherever they might actually be from. It is that country that comes first not the UK. Frightening to think that that would be the mindset of most of the contenders to replace Boris.
These contenders have no idea of who or what is the country they are going to represent.
I suggest Trollope’s Barchester Chronicles, and starts going to church, organise church outings, garden fetes etc, to get some idea.

ti, I wonder what the EU Referendum vote tally for Leave would have been had not John Major and Tony Blair gone to Northern Ireland a week before the vote and said, in effect, to former terrorists “Right lads & lasses get your guns and bombs ready in case the UK votes to Leave the EU.”
Would the Leave vote have been 55%? Maybe closer to 60%? Over 60%?
I think we can safely assume the Leave vote would have been higher if it were not for the anti-British bBC.

It’s now known as Kaikaia Gaga thanks to Brendan Morris who’s a student at the University of Illinois in America. He said: “If there is going to be a Lady Gaga bug, it’s going to be a treehopper, because they’ve got these crazy horns, they have this wacky fashion sense about them…They’re unlike anything you’ve ever seen before.” Treehoppers suck on plant juices and sing to each other by vibrating plant stems. We wonder if any of their ‘songs’ sound like Lady Gaga’s!

It is North Korea’s fourth missile launch in two weeks.

I think the bbbc has hit a new low by weaponising the Queen in their frenzied attempts to get Boris sacked.
What would the older bbc news people think of using the funeral picture at the DofE’s funeral of the Queen sitting alone.
All this morning on bbbc radio newcastle there’s been lots of Vox pops and all are against Boris. All the ones they have selected for us to hear that is.
I think he has gone too far left but if he’s going to be replaced it shouldn’t be because the bbbc have engineered it.

‘DERISORY & PATHETIC’ Jimmy Savile victims given LESS in compensation than the NHS spent in legal costs
SHOCK figures reveal that the 52 patients abused in hospitals by Jimmy Savile were handed less in compensation than the NHS paid out in legal fees

The 52 victims of the pervert DJ received £500,000 in total — an average of just £9,615 each. But the NHS paid £600,000 in legal costs, including £110,000 on defending claims.
Dear BBC £3.5 billion paid under threat of prison complaints department,
Could you revisit the 2009 UK MP expenses again, I would not like to find out that MPs like Tony Blair have ran to the shredder prior to your investigations.
Here are some details, can you use Journalists who are avoiding the BBC Gary ‘£1.75m’ Lineker Pay Gap and see why an MP on £77K salary tops up their money with a job giving them £65K extra a year.
Maybe find other MPs on such amazing schemes and why they are getting free tickets to concerts when they have so much cash sloshing around in their MP expenses accounts.
Chuka Umunna MP, Streatham (tax payer pays him £77K per year) is being paid £65,040 a year Advisory Position at Global Progress (London) Ltd …
1) Look into what he produces for £65K a year.
2) Look at who owns the company and other players – Tony Blair is linked to it.
3) Find other MPs doing the same.
4) Ensure they are paying taxes on the extra money.
5) Maybe interview them and ask some questions rather than how they feel today?
For a head start you can find the details on :

NHS gender clinic ‘should have challenged me more’ over transition
By Alison Holt
Social Affairs Correspondent, BBC News
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-51676020
A 23-year-old woman who is taking legal action against an NHS gender clinic says she should have been challenged more by medical staff over her decision to transition to a male as a teenager.
I would imagine that the staff have more important things to do such as really help people instead of wasting time on this nonsense.
