    Watching a documentary on the gestapo in Nazi Germany on the yesterday channel.

    The most effective technique they used was “denunciation” where they could swoop on anyone simply because they had been reported to the gestapo by any other member of the public.

    Often the gestapo were not interested in the reason for the reporting or the guilt of the arrested, they simply wanted to breed a culture of fear of consequences in the public by dishing out unfair and barbaric treatment to the accused, guilty or not.

    People often used this to extract revenge on neighbours or co-workers or anyone they didn’t like.

    It rang an immediate bell!

    … the recent case of the army vet, handcuffed and hauled off to clink by the po-faced bullying plod officers for sharing something on social media the lgbt bullying crowd didn’t like, in a nutshell they had “denunciated” him and the officers seem to relish turning into the gestapo.

    I came across a Spectator Pod Cast in their American series , which I think will be behind a paywall, from April 4 th 2022 in which Freddie Gray of the Spectator interviews a Trump campaigner Liz Harrington. If anyone could post a link I would be grateful.
    Freddie is a fully paid up member of the journalist friends of the globalist elite and it shows.
    Liz Harrington had him spluttering at times as she asserted , with plenty of supporting facts, that the election was stolen , that the polls were rigged in the months preceding the election , that the judiciary daren’t examine what really happened because they know what they will find and it will cause great turmoil and that the MSM were complicit from the start.
    She believes if Trump decides to run in 2024 he will walk it and that the opportunities for vote rigging will be much reduced this time round.
    Freddy seemed quite unable to counter anything that she said . It was almost as if he had never heard these arguments before. But as Liz said the MSM just suppresses the truth and it’s quite possible that being a fully paid up lickspittle globalist journalist he had never heard them put so cogently and forcefully.
    Sadly despite this interview Freddy has maintained his Orange Man Bad pro globalist stance in recent months. He might be on Klaus Schwabs Christmas card list.

    8pm BBC4 Pakistan Unveiled
    Episode 1 of 3 Treasures of the Indus
    “This is the story of the Indian subcontinent told through the treasures of three very different people, places and dynasties that have shaped the modern Indian world.

    All too often, Pakistan is portrayed as a country of bombs, beards and burkhas.
    The view of it as a monolithic Muslim state is even embodied in the name of the country, ‘the Islamic Republic of Pakistan’.
    Yet, as Sona Datta (a curator at the British Museum), shows, it used to be the meeting point for many different faiths from around the world and has an intriguing multicultural past

    She started with the 2500BC city of Harappa*
    Then Taxila a legendary city
    which Alexander the Great and the Greek rebuilt a the city of Sirkap in 350BC full of Buddhist stuff

    * She held miniature Mother fertility figurines from Harappa and said they were super common
    Neolithic Greece had the same super simplistic mother goddess figurines. at the same time
    She never mentioned that.

    “Buddhism emanated from this part of Pakistan to China ”
    .. that seems a strange idea cos the Buddhas homeland on the border of India and Nepal is much closer to China

      Didn’t mention the total number, only that “….100’s had been taken to Ramsgate”. Seems they just cannot take any more at Dover after nearly 500 arrived on Saturday.

      Never mind, Priti is getting ready to pay the French more mega millions to stop the crossings so that should solve the problem.

    Belfield case : the court is not sitting today

    why did the BBC never go to court previously to get a Restraining order ?
    If the story really is what they say it is, then why wait all these year and have a huge case ?
    just go to the court and get a restraining order

    Al-Qaeda leader dies in US drone strike – reports
    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-62387167

    Al-Qaeda are a designated terrorist group yet the BBC completely fail the state this extremely important fact anywhere in the article.

    Just as they never Hamas state are an offically designated terrorist group either.

    It I know is 100% deliberate because they have guidelines not to use the word ‘terrorist’ against Muslim’s in reports because ‘one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter’.

    This cannot be read any other way other than the BBC support Islamic terrorism. Which – considering their employment and political makeup – is probably true.

    I also think the reason is not that they are Muslim’s but that the people who usually complain about the terrible things Muslim’s do tend to be right-wing. So the Left/BBC portray them as victims to use as political weapons. They don’t care one bit how many people get murdered : the agenda is everything.

    The BBC opened a HYS about the grain shipments from Ukraine and the comments are just unbelievable. People are being whipped up into a frenzy by the propaganda to something like the Nazis did against the Jews. I wonder if any Russians in the UK have been abused : I’m pretty sure the BBC would not report it now even if they were.

    I added this comment:
    ‘I see all the cries of ‘war crime’ have suddenly been dropped and the argument morphed to something else.

    Russia started a war with Ukraine for more reasons than the BBC have told you. Now the West are waging war against Russia with Ukraine just aiming where they are told and pulling the trigger.

    WW3 has already started. People who only use the BBC for news are too gullible to realise it.’

    It was deleted very, very quickly as ‘off topic’. And this is 1am UK time.

    Blonde streaks, blue wave edition

    Ladies day in the media again today, as the papers try to push one story on and on through the first week of August – traditionally the summer holiday period being what’s known in the trade as a slow news time of year.

    Dancing queens Lionesses party with fans a day after Euro 2022 (free advertising sheet Metro)

    The Times is anxious to force some new news line to keep this one on the boil: Johnson in holiday snub to Lionesses. Leading sports figures have criticised Downing Street’s decision not to hold a reception for England’s Lionesses – just think of the column filler photo ops going begging. Has Boris, failing to read the media room, made another boob?

    The Express is thinking along similar lines: Let’s celebrate… Lionesses to be honoured with gongs.

    There’s a whiff of corporate opportunity: Game changer. Victory spurs business goals… Ipsos research showed 64 per cent of football fans were now more interested in watching the women’s game which is set to benefit from better sponsorships and broadcast fees (Financial Times)

    And there’s always narratives to push: A win for every overlooked and patronised woman (Guardian)

    Our BBC, unsurprisingly, has most narrative bases covered, ticking many agenda boxes: How much do women footballers get paid?; Euro 2022: Five things that held women back in football; Chloe Kelly: England winger’s celebration praised for empowering women… In revealing a sports bra by taking her shirt off and swinging it around her head in delight, the Manchester City winger created a moment which has united and empowered women.

    Reach plc titles Daily Express and Daily Star gift us a souvenir pull out explicit in its title: Girl Power

    How can one not be reminded of that quintessential 90s manufactured girl band the Spice Girls – one moment you’d never even heard of them, the next every chap had a favourite. And there’s the problem with these Lionesses – and our BBC, quite rightly, put their finger on this this – it is that they all look alike, there’s not enough diversity. They’re all lookie-likey blonde high-lighted, identi-kit, off-the-shelf amazonian sport-maidens. Where’s the ginger?

    Oddly enough, the Guardian of all titles, takes a leaf out of the tabloid pull-out supplimental book: Euro 2022. Inside your free souvenir 16-page suppliment – one hadn’t expected a mulit-page souvenir suppliment from that organ until a Labour-led Green/LibDem/SNP coalition or until Brexit was reversed.

    The Daily Mail tentatively attempts to draw some vaguely anti-woke lesson: ‘In an age where women’s very existence is being denied, this glorious show of bold feminity can change the world’ by Julie Burchill.

    More ladies day news as the Telegraph throws in its lot with the female blue frock-wearing candidate – apparenly now favourite to blue rinse the former chancellor chappie: The Daily Telegraph Backs Truss – just as another dodgy Tory MP comes out to back her campaign: Truss is the candidate of hope, declares Mordaunt – pretty Penny you’ll recall being the Tory recently revealed to be more woke than a barn owl at three in the morning: Why does Penny Mordaunt hate Dad’s Army? … In her 2021 book Greater: Britain After The Storm she reveals that she hates Dad’s Army and the other sitcoms written by Jimmy Perry and David Croft… [She dismisses] It Ain’t Half Hot Mum as “a full-house bingo card of… casual racism, homophobia, white privilege, colonialism, transphobia, bullying, misogyny and sexual harassment”. (UnHerd)

    I don’t know about “hope”… I’d vote for Bob Hope… with his legendary supposed gag about California and gay rights… and how he was getting out before they made it compulsory.

    But don’t worry, Maggie mark two, the rubbish sequel (or was that Theresa May?) is the great conservative hope: Liz: I’ll halt junk food tax (Daily Mail); Truss to cut civil servant pay in poorer areas as part of war on ‘Whitehall waste’ (FT)

    Meanwhile as Liz Truss putatively tinkers around the edges the Davos-inspired juggernaut lumbers on unabated with or without a sitting PM: Existing wind turbines may get 20m taller (Telegraph)

    More females making the news: Pelosi’s Taiwan visit to go ahead (Telegraph)

    Let’s be magnanimous in victory. Spare a thought for the Germans – they’re having quite a time of it lately: German retail sales suffer record plunge (FT); Inquiry details Deutsche rule-breaking (FT)

    So bbc it is painful.

    Of course illustrated by an image of a BBC weather map showing Gary Lineker cooking on a BBQ of £50 notes in Qatar.

    Interesting also that the caption changes between social post and pure propaganda pitch for more money.

    Two quotes of course, one using ‘quotes’ and one “quotes”. From… er.. a thinker.

    Not Ella though, but ‘BBC News Climate and Science reporter Ella Hambly contributed to this report.’

    When she next investigates Helmand trajectory SMG bullet paths will be awesome.

    Oddly, for once I am in a glimmer of agreement if perhaps not for the reasons BBC Crisis hope.

    It only makes sense to look forward to allow for contingencies and prepare using resources available.

    Certainly more than Ella, Taylor, Dame Emma and every doofus thick climate rapporteur in the UN or HoL to scoot off to Cairo when it’s nice in winter to ‘discuss’ crippling Western economies to the tune of trillions to not have any effect on that blazing orb’s tweaks to the seasons.

        IMHO
        Our incompetent government’s failure to defend our borders has placed the people of Great Britain in serious danger from acts of terror by an ‘army’ that crosses the Chanel unstopped , now almost on a daily basis .
        How many of these criminals languishing in 4 Star hotels are former Taliban , Isis or Al-Qaeda? Far too many for the Security Forces to deal with. I suspect many have already absconded and disappeared into the populous.

          Blame the judges.
          They always focus on the rights of an individual miscreant and never consider the balance between that and incremental loss of human rights of all the rest of us.

    After all the jibes ,criticisms and worse, thrown by the SNP at the Conservative Party and Boris Johnston in particular, John Swinney (Deputy First Minister of Scotland) has the gall to complain when Liz Truss (prospective UK Prime Minister) voices her opinion of Nicola Sturgeon, i.e that the Scottish First Minister is best left ignored.

    Manufactured hypocrisy posing as outrage, or what ?

    Biden grabbing the glory for taking out a turbaned bloke in Afghanistan.

    Wonder if he will also accept the responsibility for the likely dozens of lives that will almost certainly be blasted to pieces by one of the faceless invaders crossing the border in retaliation.

    Might makes right or Might is right is an aphorism on the origin of morality, with both descriptive and prescriptive senses.

    Descriptively, it asserts that a society’s view of right and wrong is determined by those in power, with a meaning similar to “History is written by the victors”. That is, although all people have their personal ideas of the good, only those strong enough to overcome obstacles and enemies can put their ideas into effect, and spread their own standards to society at large. Montague defined kratocracy or kraterocracy (from the Greek κρατερός krateros, meaning “strong”) as a government based on coercive power, by those strong enough to seize control through physical violence or demagogic manipulation.[1]

      oday
      BBC Radio 4, 26 May 2022

      We said a government cleaner who worked in Downing Street and had been surrounded by people breaking the rules had contracted Covid and died.

      In fact, he worked at the Ministry of Justice.

      His family was reported to have been told by medical staff that he had died from coronavirus but the post-mortem recorded hypertensive heart disease as the official cause of death.

      We are sorry for the mistake.

      I haven’t had any jabs because I knew from day 1 what a total farce and scam it all was. I did test positive about 3 months ago but simply felt unwell for a couple of days as you would with a normal cold. Absolutely fine after that. And I’m 55 and not exactly fit, I’m very overweight actually.

      So, therefore the jabs are a total money-spinning waste of time. Oh and they kill people as well.

      Glad I haven’t wasted 17 years of my life ! Never did (and still don’t) subscribe to all those blokey panel/quiz shows that the right-on gang at the BBC love. Every sentence uttered is (supposedly) funny – bit like those self titled comedians on GB News, who clearly can’t get work elsewhere so must be glad of regular employment on the channel.

      Or is it just me ?

        “I don’t know, why did the chicken cross the road?”
        “Because ukip are racist and it’s all thatchers fault”

        – cue hysterical laugh track. The last time i watched it, Andy Parsons (Not funny) criticised the real president of the USA –

        “What do you expect from a man whose name sounds like an unpleasant bodily function?”

        I kid you not; this is the calibre of their work.

    I was just having a look at the telly listings for today, what the effing Jeff was BBC2 doing showing Zeppelin at 6:05 this morning?
    A dodgy fifty-year-old war movie that I only remember because it was one the first films I ever saw at the cinema, on at six in the morning.
    Made me think, with their commitment to Net Zero by 2030, couldn’t the BBC start by transmitting for less hours, you know, ideally none?
