“Zarah Sultana has claimed on numerous occasions that she is terrified to sit in the House of Commons chamber due to some Tory MPs not wearing masks”
\\Sultana appeared on Politics Live to lament how the number of maskless MPs left her feeling “incredibly unsafe in the chamber“:
“When I look across the benches, and I see most of the Tories not wearing masks, it makes me feel unsafe, and it makes my colleagues feel unsafe…there are vulnerable MPs also sitting there, and I think it’s a dangerous message to send to the rest of the country.”//
I guess she is frightened of white non Muslim types too – talking of Muslim types – as expected the tape of the dead Islamic terrorist who attacked an American synagogue didn’t get much BBC attention did it ?
Now we’ll see who are the real fans of lockdowns who would be happy to see restrictions go on forever.
‘Boris wants civil servants to set example in return to the workplace. So with predictability… Unions at war with PM over back to office‘ (Express)
‘Schools defy Boris Johnson as they insist face masks must stay in class. Over 100 headteachers have already written to parents to say children will continue wearing masks in lessons despite eased restrictions‘ (Telegraph)
‘Ministers in row with NHS on surgery backlog… A “very tense” behind the scenes row over how quickly hospitals in England can be expected to reduce the massive backlog of surgery has broken out…‘ (Guardian)
While the freebie Metro acknowledges those of us not in the public sector are going back to work as normal – that’s if we weren’t already: ‘We’re in business‘ – is the crucial difference, whereas the caring sharing frontline public sector taxpayer-funded services… not so keen to serve…
But surely they have our best interests at heart?
‘New prostate cancer warning for men. Hunt for 50,000 missing patients‘ (‘i’) – that’ll be 50,000 missing men. The sort of casualty figures we last saw on the first morning of the battle of the Somme.
Think of the children…
‘Covid in schools: Inquiry launched to find 100,000 pupils absent in England… Dame Rachel de Souza said between 80,000 and 100,000 children were not on any school rolls at all. “Literally, I am going to go out and find them,” she told BBC News... “When I asked the 10 local authorities to send me very simple data [such as] how many children have you got in your area, how many children are not on roll, how many children are waiting for school places, they could not all give me that answer,” she said. “I cannot believe that we can’t actually manage to find every child in this country.”‘ (BBC) – sadly, the emphasis seems to be shifting toward the State’s desire for more non-pandemic times centralised track and trace. They might want to start by monitoring our borders properly.
The grumpy old Telegraph has some grist for their mill: ‘The departure of “Tannoy spam” from trains announced at last‘ – we’ll hail that a conservative victory, I guess?
Late news coming in from Ukraine where we still await and expect about the most talked about, foreshadowed, prefigured, preempted and previewed surprise invasion of all time…
‘Biden hardens warning to Russia after Kyiv says no attack is “minor”‘ (FT) – as is so often the case the FT muddles all sense of what’s going on in their barely English headlines. Suffice to say Ukraine good… Russia bad.
Here’s another headscratcher from the FT: ‘Surburban sprawl curbs progress for UK cities‘ – I guess the reader is expected to have an advanced degree in the dialectics of town planning to understand the sense of that one?
FT Datawatch has been asking some saucy questions of their survey subjects and getting rather prim replies: ‘No sex please, we’re British. Share of women who say they have not had sex in the past 12 months… When lockdowns were first imposed in early 2020 many speculated that that couples would cuddle up at home and generate a baby boom. But sexual activity has declined…‘
I’m sorry but I’m picturing that very deadpan 1970s vox pop street interviewer chap from the Dick Emery Show in his specs and car coat accosting various of Emery’s comic drag characters on the suburban streets with his suggestive questions and eliciting conversation such as… “Excuse me madam?” “Miss… Ooow, you seem like a nice young man” as she grabs him by the lapels and pushes him into a privet hedge. Or alternatively there was that other much-loved character: “Ooh… You are awful… but I like you” – for me the best part of the sketch was at the end with that little trip over her heels as she waddled away. It’s probably all cancelled nowadays.
Tim Pool swatted twice
Swatting or a SWAT attack is when someone makes a malicious false 999 call to get a SWAT team to invade the home of their political foe.

The BBC has decided to ‘go dark ‘ on nut nut for a bit -presumably until the Gray report . Instead they have sent meeshalll to somewhere pop north called Noo Castle .
You can imagine the planning to go to noo castle – the risk assessment – do they speak English – do they have running water – is there a coffee shop ?
More seriously it sounds funny that they treat a bit of Blighty to a ‘royal visit ‘ from a London beeboid ……
Oh god – the sports section is doing something on a Jamaican skier trainer ? ( born in Northampton ) who is going China …

How on Earth does Drakeford think he can get away with comments on anyone else doing this when he was caught dancing, maskless, at a wedding when he has imposed even more draconian laws on the Welsh people than Johnson has on the English.
If Boris has to go then so does he and Starmer for that matter as he was caught partying when calling for harsher measures to be implemented.
It seems as if it is one rule for the Conservatives and another for the Left wing parties. It was ever thus with the Left wing media.
A Victorian government-funded youth body has created a TikTok video encouraging teenagers to go on “vax dates” to get the Covid-19 vaccine without their parents’ permission.
The video by the Youth Affairs Council of Victoria (YACVIC) features two teenage girls who go on a post-lockdown date to see a movie – but when asked to show their vaccination certificate, one says “my parents haven’t let me get vaccinated yet”.
“I mean, you’re over 14. You don’t actually need to get their permission,” the other girl says. “Wanna go do it now – go on a vax date?”
A number of states including Victoria and NSW have removed parental consent requirements for young people in a bid to increase vaccination rates among 12- to 15-year-olds.
With a bit of pre flight down time I’m pondering the content of the Gray Report . How long will it be ? How will it be structured? What material will be released to support its ‘findings ? Will it be comprehensive enough ?
I’ve said before that I think it will disappoint everyone – not enough to find nut nut lied to the Commons – but enough to find that regulations were broken .
Those responsible will either resign and go public or go on the civil service / Tory naughty step before getting better jobs if they keep quiet .
Those who organised these boozy works meetings ? Will have to go I guess – with the promise of a gong for all their hard work / drinking ….
It would be good if a few more wet false members of the Conservative party found their true home along side Jess and angie and the various convicted criminals in the opposition .
The BBC will just keep on and on with it – screw any forthcoming nuclear war or destroyed infrastructure – they’ll just keep going on and on long after the last variant has killed half the population …
The government failed to achieve the stated objectives it had set itself in Iraq. More than 200 British citizens died as a result of the conflict. Iraqi people suffered greatly. By July 2009, at least 150,000 Iraqis had died, probably many more. More than one million were displaced
The report found Mr Blair overestimated his ability to influence US decisions on Iraq; and the UK’s relationship with the US does not require unconditional support
..the biggest thing for me about all this Partygate sh-t is how trivial it all is, how childish the media are, particularly the BBC. The astonishing behavior of so called mature MP’s. Its like kids having an argument in the play ground,”if you dont do XY & Z i’m going to tell”.
Who gives a rats arse about a fat bloke having a couple of scoops nearly 2 years ago. The only concern we should have is the conduct of Russia on the Ukraine border with all its potential catastrophic consequences, global warming and its catastrophic consequences, the world economies crashing and it catastrophic consequences.

My brother works in Germany and he say’s his German works colleagues just dont get the hysteria, they are completely perplexed by it all.
He say’s they are in envy of our covid status and freedoms and are impressed how the UK government have handled it.

If there is evidence a minister has breached the Ministerial Code – such as potentially misleading parliament – it could be investigated by the prime minister’s standards adviser Lord Geidt. Mr Johnson would need to give permission before any new inquiry was launched and he ultimately decides if any minister – including himself – has broken the code.
What is important is not the particular person who is elected President or the party he belongs to. I have often said we shall not correct the state of affairs by electing the right people; we’ve tried that. The right people before they’re elected become the wrong people after they’re elected. The important thing is to make it politically profitable for the wrong people to do the right thing. If it is not politically profitable for the wrong people to do the right thing, the right people will not do the right thing either.

Economy now performing better than pre pandemic and a brilliant announcement for Blythe in the North East with new multi billion car battery factory being built with 3000 new jobs for factory and 5000 supplier jobs.
So what do the BBC correspondents bang on about and in the words of the Business Editor..How can the Government justify giving a grant of 100 million to the company to build the factory in the UK..!!!!
8000 NEW JOBS IN THE AREA WHICH IN TURN WILL BRING A MASSIVE BOOST TO THE LOCAL ECONOMY AND ALL THE BBC CAN DO IS SODDING WELL CRITICISE ….
No matter what this Government does for this country the cretins at the BBC will always go for the down side, regardless
But no BBC/media emphasis on the commercial demise of China? World money markets will no longer lose money in China. The bubble has burst – big time. The World is yet to see/feel the impacts. Even the CCP has to wince when considering the massive bail out required.
What goes up quickly, normally comes down equally as quickly.
You may be absolutely right and if you are then im happy as a dog with two dicks for you but all im saying is, why do the BBC continually always look for the negatives on a ”potential” (i use potential to keep you happy) good news story .
Don’t want to hear anymore about the disgraceful individual Blair, or have notice that another disgraceful individual called M. Hesseltine states that with the Prime Minister Boris Johnson out of No 10, the UK could get back into the European Union-stupid idiot, does he not understand that a majority of the populace voted to leave the EU. Why do the so called Media/BBC continue to drag these low individuals into our lives it is incomprehensible that we should be interested. As someone born and brought up in WW2 learnt to love and be proud of my country, and after some military service loved it even more, married and with my wife we brought up three sons, two of whom served in the Military & theatres of war. These past twenty years I have lost that feeling of pride, feel the nation I once was proud of has been raped of all it once stood for. Our Queen now appearing still so strong and brave irrespective of what has gone on around her, must be so very sad at what she sees happening-the Devil is upon us but are we strong enough to resist?
Tarien – lord Blair had a chat with lady Brooke on WATO Thursday – after his usual megalomaniacal need for ‘plans ‘ she asked him about the BBC – apparently it’s ‘great’ sez the war criminal barrister cum politician ….
I was always amazed that he took the UK into a war and left office before it ended… and people thought thar ‘Ok’…
Agreed tarian, my dad served on carriers throughout WW2, Russian convoys, pacific Japanese dive bombers etc, etc. whilst at the same time producing 3 sons and 2 daughters, yes we were all born around September approx 9 months after Christmas. My mother brought us up single hand-idly while he was away onboard but we were happy and loved the Country we were born into.
He lost many friends but luckily made it to the end of the war.
I now see people losing it because they are misgenderd etc.
I can only think of those poor folks who were blown to smithereens in their homes by bombs or died on beaches.
‘Croydon – this has to stop’: Community unites to rid itself of being ‘London’s knife crime capital’
Last year was the worst on record for teenage murders in London. There were 30 in total, and five happened in Croydon – more than any other borough in the capital.
Anthony tells me: “We’re here to send the youth a message – that we’re here for you. We need mothers to stop the narrative that there’s no men in our communities.
“There are men in our communities and there are men that want to stop the knife crime. The parents in this community should stop and search their children before the Met do.
“I’m working with the Met, look at my skin colour. I will stand with the Met until we’ve got this problem dealt with.”
Totalitarianism has now entered into our society.
WE in Western societies naively imagine we would never descend into totalitarianism, because such systems are unmistakably evil and we are undeniably good. Not only would we immediately recognise it, but our moral goodness and inestimable courage would see to it that we stopped it before it took root. Our ability to oppose such a system does not depend on our ability to see the evil from our armchairs decades later. Rather, it depends on our ability to spot totalitarianism in its fledgling form in our day, and on summoning the courage and resolve to stand against it here and now.
And so as millions pat themselves on the back for doing good during a public health crisis, in reality they have facilitated those intent on drawing a digital Iron Curtain across society to carry out their aims, thus edging us towards a totalitarianism system and society that most would recognise as evil if they read about it 50 years from now. Is it tooe Late?
A note from J Edgar Hoover- “The individual is handicapped by coming face-to-face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists. The … mind simply has not come to a realization of the evil which has been introduced into our midst. It rejects even the assumption that human creatures could espouse a philosophy which must ultimately destroy all that is good and decent.” – I ask again is it too late to turn the tide which will destroy our world as we know it or knew it.
TOADY Watch #1 – what about all that unnecessary CO2, Mishal? No worries about that?
BBC doing the pot stirring in a ‘Red Wall’ seat in the north-east of England and I guess not sending Mishal up there by bicycle. The BBC have ceased to be a neutral journalistic investigator and is now a campaigning organisation, trying to get the PM out of No.10.
Obnoxious and vile are two words that come to mind.

1985….
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.
big typo : TalkRadio making a big claim that Richard Coles @RevRichardColes the Former Communard, co-presenter of BBCr4 Saturday Live, has been banned from Facebook.
No he mentioned a faggots recipe on Jan15th and the algorithm automatically cut the post,
His account is still up and posting.
R4 consumer show talking about an Instagram scam
At the end of the scam, before your “winnings” are transferred you are asked to make an Instagram “win video” celebrating your win ..and then asked to hand over your phone password to confirm your ID.
At that point the scammer transfers your phone control to his number and hijacks your Instagram account
and begins sending out your “win video” to all your friends
Your friends see you won and so begin transferring money to the scammer
All the same as you got sucked into the scam in the first place.
You contact Instagram to complain, and never get through to a human ..just a bot which tells you they have reviewed your claim
and found the scammer has done nothing wrong ..and you can block them if you want.
The BBC reporter collected about 8 examples of people stuck in this situation for months
Of course The Instagram PR dept did listen to her and immediately cancelled the hijacked accounts.
The point is the establishment move into action if they think someone has tweety hurty words
yet when a real scam with people being scammed out of thousands of pounds comes up, they don’t want to listen.
On GB News they are talking about pensions and cost of living.
Liam Halligan started off by saying pensioners are finding it hard to manage on a basic state pension of £180 per week.
I often hear this figure used yet three quarters of pensioners are on the lower second class pension of a maximum of about £137 per week.
UK population over 65 is 12.7 million and over 70 (old pension) is 9 million.
Each year the gap gets bigger because a percentage increase will be larger when the pension amount is more.
You would think these presenters would be aware of this almost £50 per week difference yet they never seem to mention it.
When they say pensioners are finding it difficult (on the £180pw pension) just imagine how those on the second class pension are managing.
Stop press: An email has been read out on his show mentioning this and Halligan says “good point”
Is that all he can say?

.. The Metro : “Unvaccinated singer dies days after deliberately contracting Covid”
FFS what have you omitted ??
#1 It was in the Czech Republic
#2 It was just after Christmas
“Jan Rek said he and his father, who are both fully vaccinated, contracted the virus over Christmas and Horka refused to isolate away from them.
He claimed his mother wanted to catch Covid so there would be fewer restrictions on her movement.”
She was 57, and double chinned
but had apparently recovered and was going out for walk
before suddenly choking.
Well surely it’s not Covid until an autopsy proves it .
On Sunday morning, the day she died, Ms Horka said she was feeling better and dressed to go for a walk. But then her back started hurting, so she went to lie down in her bedroom.
“In about 10 minutes it was all over,” her son said. “She choked to death”.
I don’t know what the output of Netflix is these days but I noticed the rapid increase in tick box wokery – with coloured folks taking on whitee roles in a frankly dumb way …..
That was enough – the BBC is well screwed and looks like woke Netflix is going too …. I saw ‘momentum ‘ on DVD but thought it over rated – …
I just had my second pfizer jab after the first in November.
The NHS record says I had the booster in November and a dose of Moderna on Monday.
If both of my records are wrong, I absolutely shudder to think of the scale of the incompetence in the NHS and what it might have cost during this pandemic.
As ever late to the party (an affliction that’s evident throughout my life), I only succumbed to Netflix in December 2020 when my Sky box needed upgrading, and tbh for me its been well worth the money. Terrestrial channels have been dire, Sky Cinema repeats so often their catalogue, (despite there being millions of films I could suggest to them), that I can recite the script of A Few Good Men, Red October and Groundhog Day no problem.
Its also been good for me to refresh my Spanish, which is now back to a good standard (circa 1990) via the numerous Spanish films and dramas on offer. Plus when being ‘laid up’ and living on my own, its been a godsend.
Yes, Fed I do agree that there has been an increase of wokery, and due in part to many productions being made under the Shonda Rhimes umbrella -she’s currently on the front of Time Magazine. Although there are still a huge number of dramas – mainly foreign that have not gone down the diversity route.

Many societies throughout history have practised slavery, and Muslim societies were no exception.
It’s thought that as many people were enslaved in the Eastern slave trade as in the Atlantic slave trade.
It’s ironic that when the Atlantic slave trade was abolished the Eastern trade expanded, suggesting that for some Africans the abolition of the Atlantic trade didn’t lead to freedom, but merely changed their slave destination.
The BBC, Guardian and The Independent are all together trying to prop up the falling apart left-wing Marxist Government in the US under dope Biden whilst desperately trying to topple the Democratic Conservative Government under Boris in the UK.
Speaks volumes, its almost as if they have someone big and Global whispering in their ear, they do seem to have a “Common Purpose” (look it up)!

“Covid: UK government ‘abandoned science’, says Mark Drakeford” https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-60080360
What science is he following?
Time the Welsh Asshambles was abolished .
I suppose Drakeford is now too old to return to giving Meat I, Plumbers II and Hairdressers III weekly sociology periods doses at the local FE college you-nee-versitee?
It’s a shame that he won’t be challenged at the next election by of bowl of frozen mince.
Mark Drakeford’s only claim to fame is attached to his COVID hysterics. He is nothing more than a jumped up local authority prat with a guaranteed pay check unlike his constituents. Therefore he will want the covid pantomime to run and run as otherwise people will see how really feeble he is. He has not once put forward anything positive on promoting the Welsh economy and people, just bleat, bleat, bleat about the frigging virus. This also goes for the horrid queen of Scotland Sturgeon. I believe they are running out of road but still trying to lunch off covid.
We are better than this crap.

“When I look across the benches, and I see most of the Tories not wearing masks, it makes me feel unsafe, and it makes my colleagues feel unsafe…there are vulnerable MPs also sitting there, and I think it’s a dangerous message to send to the rest of the country.”//

Boris… You are awful… but I like you
Now we’ll see who are the real fans of lockdowns who would be happy to see restrictions go on forever.
‘Boris wants civil servants to set example in return to the workplace. So with predictability… Unions at war with PM over back to office‘ (Express)
‘Schools defy Boris Johnson as they insist face masks must stay in class. Over 100 headteachers have already written to parents to say children will continue wearing masks in lessons despite eased restrictions‘ (Telegraph)
‘Ministers in row with NHS on surgery backlog… A “very tense” behind the scenes row over how quickly hospitals in England can be expected to reduce the massive backlog of surgery has broken out…‘ (Guardian)
While the freebie Metro acknowledges those of us not in the public sector are going back to work as normal – that’s if we weren’t already: ‘We’re in business‘ – is the crucial difference, whereas the caring sharing frontline public sector taxpayer-funded services… not so keen to serve…
But surely they have our best interests at heart?
‘New prostate cancer warning for men. Hunt for 50,000 missing patients‘ (‘i’) – that’ll be 50,000 missing men. The sort of casualty figures we last saw on the first morning of the battle of the Somme.
Think of the children…
‘Covid in schools: Inquiry launched to find 100,000 pupils absent in England… Dame Rachel de Souza said between 80,000 and 100,000 children were not on any school rolls at all. “Literally, I am going to go out and find them,” she told BBC News... “When I asked the 10 local authorities to send me very simple data [such as] how many children have you got in your area, how many children are not on roll, how many children are waiting for school places, they could not all give me that answer,” she said. “I cannot believe that we can’t actually manage to find every child in this country.”‘ (BBC) – sadly, the emphasis seems to be shifting toward the State’s desire for more non-pandemic times centralised track and trace. They might want to start by monitoring our borders properly.
The grumpy old Telegraph has some grist for their mill: ‘The departure of “Tannoy spam” from trains announced at last‘ – we’ll hail that a conservative victory, I guess?
Late news coming in from Ukraine where we still await and expect about the most talked about, foreshadowed, prefigured, preempted and previewed surprise invasion of all time…
‘Biden hardens warning to Russia after Kyiv says no attack is “minor”‘ (FT) – as is so often the case the FT muddles all sense of what’s going on in their barely English headlines. Suffice to say Ukraine good… Russia bad.
Here’s another headscratcher from the FT: ‘Surburban sprawl curbs progress for UK cities‘ – I guess the reader is expected to have an advanced degree in the dialectics of town planning to understand the sense of that one?
FT Datawatch has been asking some saucy questions of their survey subjects and getting rather prim replies: ‘No sex please, we’re British. Share of women who say they have not had sex in the past 12 months… When lockdowns were first imposed in early 2020 many speculated that that couples would cuddle up at home and generate a baby boom. But sexual activity has declined…‘
I’m sorry but I’m picturing that very deadpan 1970s vox pop street interviewer chap from the Dick Emery Show in his specs and car coat accosting various of Emery’s comic drag characters on the suburban streets with his suggestive questions and eliciting conversation such as… “Excuse me madam?” “Miss… Ooow, you seem like a nice young man” as she grabs him by the lapels and pushes him into a privet hedge. Or alternatively there was that other much-loved character: “Ooh… You are awful… but I like you” – for me the best part of the sketch was at the end with that little trip over her heels as she waddled away. It’s probably all cancelled nowadays.

Swatting or a SWAT attack is when someone makes a malicious false 999 call to get a SWAT team to invade the home of their political foe.

A Victorian government-funded youth body has created a TikTok video encouraging teenagers to go on “vax dates” to get the Covid-19 vaccine without their parents’ permission.
The video by the Youth Affairs Council of Victoria (YACVIC) features two teenage girls who go on a post-lockdown date to see a movie – but when asked to show their vaccination certificate, one says “my parents haven’t let me get vaccinated yet”.
“I mean, you’re over 14. You don’t actually need to get their permission,” the other girl says. “Wanna go do it now – go on a vax date?”
“That sounds fun,” the girl replies.

With a bit of pre flight down time I’m pondering the content of the Gray Report . How long will it be ? How will it be structured? What material will be released to support its ‘findings ? Will it be comprehensive enough ?
I’ve said before that I think it will disappoint everyone – not enough to find nut nut lied to the Commons – but enough to find that regulations were broken .
Those responsible will either resign and go public or go on the civil service / Tory naughty step before getting better jobs if they keep quiet .
Those who organised these boozy works meetings ? Will have to go I guess – with the promise of a gong for all their hard work / drinking ….
It would be good if a few more wet false members of the Conservative party found their true home along side Jess and angie and the various convicted criminals in the opposition .
The BBC will just keep on and on with it – screw any forthcoming nuclear war or destroyed infrastructure – they’ll just keep going on and on long after the last variant has killed half the population …

If there is evidence a minister has breached the Ministerial Code – such as potentially misleading parliament – it could be investigated by the prime minister’s standards adviser Lord Geidt. Mr Johnson would need to give permission before any new inquiry was launched and he ultimately decides if any minister – including himself – has broken the code.

Like most MPs then! And those in politics.
What is important is not the particular person who is elected President or the party he belongs to. I have often said we shall not correct the state of affairs by electing the right people; we’ve tried that. The right people before they’re elected become the wrong people after they’re elected. The important thing is to make it politically profitable for the wrong people to do the right thing. If it is not politically profitable for the wrong people to do the right thing, the right people will not do the right thing either.

Don’t want to hear anymore about the disgraceful individual Blair, or have notice that another disgraceful individual called M. Hesseltine states that with the Prime Minister Boris Johnson out of No 10, the UK could get back into the European Union-stupid idiot, does he not understand that a majority of the populace voted to leave the EU. Why do the so called Media/BBC continue to drag these low individuals into our lives it is incomprehensible that we should be interested. As someone born and brought up in WW2 learnt to love and be proud of my country, and after some military service loved it even more, married and with my wife we brought up three sons, two of whom served in the Military & theatres of war. These past twenty years I have lost that feeling of pride, feel the nation I once was proud of has been raped of all it once stood for. Our Queen now appearing still so strong and brave irrespective of what has gone on around her, must be so very sad at what she sees happening-the Devil is upon us but are we strong enough to resist?

‘Croydon – this has to stop’: Community unites to rid itself of being ‘London’s knife crime capital’
Last year was the worst on record for teenage murders in London. There were 30 in total, and five happened in Croydon – more than any other borough in the capital.
Anthony tells me: “We’re here to send the youth a message – that we’re here for you. We need mothers to stop the narrative that there’s no men in our communities.
“There are men in our communities and there are men that want to stop the knife crime. The parents in this community should stop and search their children before the Met do.
“I’m working with the Met, look at my skin colour. I will stand with the Met until we’ve got this problem dealt with.”

Totalitarianism has now entered into our society.
WE in Western societies naively imagine we would never descend into totalitarianism, because such systems are unmistakably evil and we are undeniably good. Not only would we immediately recognise it, but our moral goodness and inestimable courage would see to it that we stopped it before it took root. Our ability to oppose such a system does not depend on our ability to see the evil from our armchairs decades later. Rather, it depends on our ability to spot totalitarianism in its fledgling form in our day, and on summoning the courage and resolve to stand against it here and now.
And so as millions pat themselves on the back for doing good during a public health crisis, in reality they have facilitated those intent on drawing a digital Iron Curtain across society to carry out their aims, thus edging us towards a totalitarianism system and society that most would recognise as evil if they read about it 50 years from now. Is it tooe Late?
A note from J Edgar Hoover- “The individual is handicapped by coming face-to-face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists. The … mind simply has not come to a realization of the evil which has been introduced into our midst. It rejects even the assumption that human creatures could espouse a philosophy which must ultimately destroy all that is good and decent.” – I ask again is it too late to turn the tide which will destroy our world as we know it or knew it.

Islam has always been at war with … ISLAM.
1985….
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.

R4 consumer show talking about an Instagram scam
At the end of the scam, before your “winnings” are transferred you are asked to make an Instagram “win video” celebrating your win ..and then asked to hand over your phone password to confirm your ID.
At that point the scammer transfers your phone control to his number and hijacks your Instagram account
and begins sending out your “win video” to all your friends
Your friends see you won and so begin transferring money to the scammer
All the same as you got sucked into the scam in the first place.
You contact Instagram to complain, and never get through to a human ..just a bot which tells you they have reviewed your claim
and found the scammer has done nothing wrong ..and you can block them if you want.
The BBC reporter collected about 8 examples of people stuck in this situation for months
Of course The Instagram PR dept did listen to her and immediately cancelled the hijacked accounts.

On GB News they are talking about pensions and cost of living.
Liam Halligan started off by saying pensioners are finding it hard to manage on a basic state pension of £180 per week.
I often hear this figure used yet three quarters of pensioners are on the lower second class pension of a maximum of about £137 per week.
UK population over 65 is 12.7 million and over 70 (old pension) is 9 million.
Each year the gap gets bigger because a percentage increase will be larger when the pension amount is more.
You would think these presenters would be aware of this almost £50 per week difference yet they never seem to mention it.
When they say pensioners are finding it difficult (on the £180pw pension) just imagine how those on the second class pension are managing.
Stop press: An email has been read out on his show mentioning this and Halligan says “good point”
Is that all he can say?

The story is almost 100% the same as the BBC reported yesterday
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-60050996
She was 57, and double chinned
but had apparently recovered and was going out for walk
before suddenly choking.
Well surely it’s not Covid until an autopsy proves it .

On Sunday morning, the day she died, Ms Horka said she was feeling better and dressed to go for a walk. But then her back started hurting, so she went to lie down in her bedroom.
“In about 10 minutes it was all over,” her son said. “She choked to death”.

Any TV program or film now : if it’s racist or sexist during the first 10 minutes, I turn it off.
That’s almost all of the recent ones. And absolutely all the BBC output.

I don’t know what the output of Netflix is these days but I noticed the rapid increase in tick box wokery – with coloured folks taking on whitee roles in a frankly dumb way …..
That was enough – the BBC is well screwed and looks like woke Netflix is going too …. I saw ‘momentum ‘ on DVD but thought it over rated – …

I just had my second pfizer jab after the first in November.
The NHS record says I had the booster in November and a dose of Moderna on Monday.
If both of my records are wrong, I absolutely shudder to think of the scale of the incompetence in the NHS and what it might have cost during this pandemic.

As ever late to the party (an affliction that’s evident throughout my life), I only succumbed to Netflix in December 2020 when my Sky box needed upgrading, and tbh for me its been well worth the money. Terrestrial channels have been dire, Sky Cinema repeats so often their catalogue, (despite there being millions of films I could suggest to them), that I can recite the script of A Few Good Men, Red October and Groundhog Day no problem.
Its also been good for me to refresh my Spanish, which is now back to a good standard (circa 1990) via the numerous Spanish films and dramas on offer. Plus when being ‘laid up’ and living on my own, its been a godsend.
Yes, Fed I do agree that there has been an increase of wokery, and due in part to many productions being made under the Shonda Rhimes umbrella -she’s currently on the front of Time Magazine. Although there are still a huge number of dramas – mainly foreign that have not gone down the diversity route.

Saudi to PAY AFRICANS?
Many societies throughout history have practised slavery, and Muslim societies were no exception.
It’s thought that as many people were enslaved in the Eastern slave trade as in the Atlantic slave trade.
It’s ironic that when the Atlantic slave trade was abolished the Eastern trade expanded, suggesting that for some Africans the abolition of the Atlantic trade didn’t lead to freedom, but merely changed their slave destination.

The BBC, Guardian and The Independent are all together trying to prop up the falling apart left-wing Marxist Government in the US under dope Biden whilst desperately trying to topple the Democratic Conservative Government under Boris in the UK.
Speaks volumes, its almost as if they have someone big and Global whispering in their ear, they do seem to have a “Common Purpose” (look it up)!
The BBC in particular must go for the future good and freedom of the British people!

Mark Drakeford’s only claim to fame is attached to his COVID hysterics. He is nothing more than a jumped up local authority prat with a guaranteed pay check unlike his constituents. Therefore he will want the covid pantomime to run and run as otherwise people will see how really feeble he is. He has not once put forward anything positive on promoting the Welsh economy and people, just bleat, bleat, bleat about the frigging virus. This also goes for the horrid queen of Scotland Sturgeon. I believe they are running out of road but still trying to lunch off covid.
We are better than this crap.
The sooner both are history the better for Wales, Scotland and the UK.

I think Google must have taken out the same subscription to Getty Images that the BBC uses.
I have been doing some research related to women serving in the forces during WW2 and police officers during WW1 and it truly is amazing how many images Google turns up with ‘poc’.
Pity that very few have any connection to the subjects searched for, but then Google knows what I need to know I expect.
