    OK talking about concerns is good, but … most of us are pretty much still alive.

    BBC land is quick to dismiss other people as Conspiracy Theorists, yet when they themselves see something in the Guardian, they take it at face value.

    Well, the first Ukrainian family proposed to be settled in the UK has been announced and surprise surprise, despite all the phoney promises by the coward Boris the bottler, he has lied yet again – with th e very first one!

    The reason we were told about not needing such stringent checks on people was that the government was only allowing in mothers and their children, yet now we find a father and a mother with their family are being resettled.

    Yet again the fantasy land idiots are putting us in potentially mortal danger, because it only takes one russian agent to get through and who knows what they might be capable of.

    The news media and the left (often one and the same) would soon forget it was them making all the calls for the checks to be dropped, and Boris being the coward that he is complying with indecent haste would of course be remembered.

    Twenty-four asylum seekers who claimed they were children after being sent to Liverpool were found to be adults, the city’s council has said.

        @Lucy – It took the Spanish about 780 years to achieve their ‘Reconquista’ of Spain from the muslims!!

        One glimmer of hope: despite the lies from the likes of the BBC, islam is in terminal decline.

        Adherents are abandoning the Religion of Violence in their droves, though most remain silent, out of fear of severe reprisals.

        Furthermore, Western scholarship is completely demolishing the standard islamic narrative (SIN).

        Many are challenging the very existence of mohammud, as well as the dates and locations of the religion’s origins. Gradually, the new findings will seep back into the islamic world and undermine the lies the imams have been peddling for centuries – unchallenged until now.

    RIP Kriss Donald
    Born July 2, 1988, Glasgow, Scotland. Died March 15, 2004.

    Tortured to death.

    Kriss Donald was a 15-year-old white Scottish boy who was kidnapped and murdered in Glasgow in 2004 by a gang of men of Pakistani origin, some of whom fled to Pakistan after the crime. Daanish Zahid, Imran Shahid, Zeeshan Shahid and Mohammed Faisal Mustaq were later found guilty of racially motivated murder and sentenced to life imprisonment.

      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.

      I have to admit, I’d forgotten about this completely innocent boy, who was tortured to death just for being the wrong colour. It is no less important than what happened to Stephen Lawrence, and arguably more so than the killing of George Floyd.

      Yet another horrific tragedy, deliberately buried down the memory hole because it upsets the ‘narrative’.

    The BBC did manage to correctly call the Kriss Donald torture & killing a racist murder , in a 2015 article covering the “human rights” appeal of the Pakistani gang leader.

    “A man who led a gang in the racist murder of a Glasgow schoolboy had his human rights violated by being kept in solitary confinement, the UK’s Supreme Court has ruled”

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-34527215

    The court ruled that the solitary confinment of the murderer violated the European Convention on Human Rights.

    Anyone noticed the surge in a spate of child knife murderers in the past few weeks. With some as young as 12.

    There has to be connected to the wave of drill and rap videos washing around and being consumed by these youngsters, glorifying violence and killing as a personal attribute of strength.

    The Government and law-enforcement however are busy concentrating on offenders who mis-use pronouns etc. etc.

    It is being promoted as a male strength to carry a knife and use it given the opportunity however trite the reason.

    The BBC’s other ugly sister, The Independent has learned well how to spin and bias by omission as taught by the BBC masters.

    “Body of model who branded Putin a psychopath is found dead in a suitcase”

    https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/gretta-vedler-model-dead-putin-b2036127.html

    Read this headline and it suggests that Putin might if had this girl killed and stuffed in a suitcase because she criticised him.

    But…. Read down the story and it reveals that:

    1. The murder took place over a year ago. And….
    2. She was murdered and put in the suitcase by her own boyfriend who abandoned the body in a car boot for months.
    3. It had absolutely zero connection to Putin.

    So the Independent dredge up some old news, paint a lurid accusative headline designed purely to implicate Putin in the murder. Then quietly reveal the actual truth after the damage has been done and mission accomplished.

    This is sewer-level and disgusting partisan political activism rather than news reporting whatever your opinion of Putin, a lie is a lie and should not be part of any honest journalists toolbox.

    They stink to high heaven because they think they can get away with these tactics.

    How do they expect people to trust them over anyone else including Putin when they think it’s OK to use these tacky tactics?

    They also seem confident that their readers are stupid and will not be able to work out what really happened and will be hoodwinked by the totally misleading headline.

      Is it just The Independent ?
      Nope, all UK newspapers report it
      The Independent even says it is quoting the Mirror.

      “She was murdered by her own boyfriend.”
      ” the actual truth”
      Yeh sure Russian media report Russian police say the boyfriend has just confessed .. so that counts as 100% proof ………… does it ?

      The body of a 23 yr old Russian model Gretta Vedler who called Putin a “psychopath” was found in a suitcase more than a year after she went missing.

      ex-boyfriend has confessed more than a year later to strangling her to death after a row over money in Moscow unrelated to her political views and analysis of Putin’s mind and motives

      He told interrogators that he slept in a hotel room for three nights with her corpse which he put in a newly-bought suitcase..
      .. He kept posting pictures and messages on the model’s social media, to make friends believe she was still alive, he told detectives.

      Are you between 18 and 30 and looking for an opportunity to help the wider community, in Europe and beyond?

      You could do this with funding and support from the European Solidarity Corps, which helps young people take part in projects that benefit communities, either abroad or in their own country.

      These projects offer an inspiring and empowering experience, as well as the chance to bring change while developing your skills and competences.

        Agree: I was talking about the derivation, not the actual meaning of “pizdetz” itself. When I looked it up in various on-line sources, there were meanings like the one you gave, e.g. “total effing cock-up” or “cluster f*ck” and “hell” (as in ‘things going to hell’). Another word learnt recently, thanks to Mr Putin, is “Paskudnyak” but I won’t attempt a translation of that.
