    Met Police: Some officers are racist, professional standards chief admits
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-60379131

    Isn’t it amazing that we heard nothing about the Met Police while Dick was in charge, but now she has finally been given the boot for the mess she has made, the whole place is rotten to the core with misogyny and racism ?. All carefully worded to make sure it only applies to the white males.

    No suggestion that any of the black coppers are racist. I’ll bet my house every single one is to some degree. But I’m sure the BBC will say that is not their fault because whitey was racist first.

    You know, I can understand why some of those police are not tolerant of black people considering the hugely disproportionate amount of crime and murders they commit and the treatment they receive as ‘victims’ by people like the BBC.

        The Woke are on a campaign to destroy what they perceive as ‘white male supremacy’.

        The end result will be anarchy and catastrophe. As the disgracefully under-reported no-go zone in Mineapolis after Floyd showed us. Violent crime and murder went rampant. But those black lives – including a pregnant woman – didn’t matter for some reason and went unreported by the BBC.

    Xi Jinping in Canada has invoked the, ‘Emergency Act 1985’ to deal with the peaceful protestors. This Act has never been invoked. Its predecessor (‘The War Measures Act’) was used once in 1970.
    https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/emergencies-act-canada-october-crisis

    How does our own, Black Broadcasting Corporation (“The Worlds Most Trusted Broadcaster” compliments of Neil Newness), report this news on its, ‘World Service’?

    “A rarely used Act”. That’s the 1985 one btw.

    Make your own minds up.

        Trudeau was overconfident at the beginning of the protest and must have believed that he could suppress the truckers without too much trouble. He therefore imagined that by labelling them with the usual pejoratives of fascists , racists , far right , homophobes etc etc he was ‘conditioning’ the public to the concept that his government , and all other Woke governments across the developed world, were defenders of ordinary decent folk against unspeakable deplorables . Which would make it easier to suppress future uprisings .
        But it hasn’t worked and by continuing to double down on his rhetoric and using the police to suppress these good natured folk his true colours are being revealed to the world . As someone said recently ‘scratch a liberal and find a fascist’.
        The blob is going to be very upset with him because he is revealing to the public worldwide what they are really like. He will have to go and be replaced by someone the blob trusts . Calls to Dominion for help will already have been made.

          DT,

          “The blob is going to be very upset with him ….”

          Is that the Canadian ‘blob’ or international? I imagine, with all the similar ‘stick’ other Wokist leaders are getting right now they will soon seek to regroup in Davos to consider what similar action to take simultaneously. It is certainly clear now that all the ‘Western’ leaders are in lockstep against the voters, including Billy Bunter.

          Watch out for when they all clandestinely disappear for a few days for the regroup.

          It can be only a matter of time before serious weapons are taken to ‘demo’s’ and it will kick-off from there ‘despite Ukraine’.

            It was the international blob that I was thinking about. I agree that the blobi is finding it difficult to keep a lid on things at the moment, they are losing control. If their grip continues to weaken then they will escalate their repression of the people as all elites in history have done to try and cling to power , sometimes successfully sometimes not.

    Here is an observation on TV drama.
    Most of us are aware of the increasing presence of actors of colour, but I have also noticed an increase in the numbers of children appearing in drama. In most cases the children add little to the plot. The tough detective puts his kids to bed telling them how much he loves them. His wife takes them to school and to the playground, with no relevance to the story.
    Perhaps there are people making drama programmes who love to see kiddies in the studio and on the screen. Know what I mean.

      I gave up on netflix due to its ‘ catering for woke kidults and amazon prime just about comes up with stuff worth the time .

      Fortunately old decent drama is hidden away on the likes of ‘talking pictures’ or ‘drama’ …

    … more seriously a ‘defence expert ‘ suggested both Finland and Sweden might look again at joining NATO – that will wind Ivan up …

    And apparently European defence spending has gone up over 4% since 2016 ? – the reason for this wasn’t given – the BBC doesn’t like to mention President Trumps ‘ name unless to slag the True President off … MAGA …

    Just watched the first episode of the latest BBC offering about the dangers of dictators. As usual Hitler comes off worse than Stalin by some distance .
    The episode covers the the German invasion ofthe Soviet Union and the beginnings of the Holocaust for which Hitler and his regime are rightly held responsible . The time frame allows exclusion of the Ukraine famine and the Terror, both orchestrated by Stalin, which killed some 10 million Soviet citizens. The massacre of a hundred thousand members of the Polish intelligencia is also avoided by strict adherence to this time frame .
    But because it’s a BBC production there must be some element of woke globalist propaganda within the series, what was it? Why retell a story that almost everyone knows backwards? So far the only woke propaganda is the notion that dictators always ignore the advice of experts and educated people , instead preferring their own instincts . In my suspicious mind this could be a dig at Trump and Brexit when the populists ignored what the liberal ‘experts ‘ of the blob were telling them.
    Watch out for Prof R Evans . I have seen a few of his lectures on You Tube and his is a virulent Remainer who has nothing but contempt for Brexiteers and those who voted for Trump. This contempt positively drips from him . A truly loathsome blobist.

      Sir Richard John Evans is a British historian with a focus on Germany.
      He is the author of eighteen books, including his three-volume The Third Reich Trilogy

      He is famous for asserting ‘yeh they called themselves the NSDAP Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei
      (National Socialist German Worker’s Party)… but they weren’t socialists

      BTW the slang word Nazi is derived from that
      Opponents of national socialism tweaked the first part of the party’s name, (Na)tionalSo(zi)alistische

      .. It was also an old joke word, mocking people from Bavaria typically called Ignatz
      referring to an awkward, backward, and clumsy peasant.
      So the word Nazi was never used in Germany at the time of Hitler

      He’s not obsessive about his anti Brexit tweeting
      Perhaps he does it from another account.

        Stew, if I recall correctly, there was a bit of a class war going on in Germany in the 1930s. It wasn’t just the Jews who were blamed for Germany’s misfortunes but also the old aristocrats many of whom headed the military. In due time, some of those old aristocratic German families saw through Hitler and the National Socialist Party and were involved in the late putsch attempt in 1942 or ’43.

          @Up2snuff It is obvious that Hitler wasn’t a communist

          To me there is the question of the aristocrat industrial class like the Krupps etc.

          Interesting google refuses to deliver search results for : Nazi aristocracy

          Via Bing : The German aristocracy itself was incorporated into the National Socialist movement from the twenties on without much difficulty, even though some of the aristocratic National Socialists had to tolerate the contempt of peers who were opposed to the socialist aspects of Hitler’s government.
          According to Stephan Malinowski,[1] in all, about 300 noble families of the lower aristocracy based in Prussia contributed about 3,600 members to the National Socialist Party, and the number of adherents from the upper ruling families rose from 70 in the thirties to around 270 by 1945.
          (That’s Prussian and Protestant)
          The Bavarian Catholic aristocrats were dedicated to the House of Wittelsbach, whose crown prince, Rupert of Bavaria, was firmly opposed to Hitler and was exiled in December 1939 to Italy while other members of his family were interned for some years in concentration camps.
