    Outside a Muslim country, you will never see a more sympathetic and favourable piece about an Islamic terrorist then you will on the BBC:

    Afghanistan: The Taliban sniper now working behind a desk
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-south-asia-62467621

    As you will know before I tell you, the word ‘terrorist’ is never used.

    The BBC reporter is – of course – a Pakistani Muslim who is clearly sympathetic to the Taliban cause.

    This highlights one of the things about mass immigration nobody in the media dare go near now (because of people like the BBC). They don’t come here to live our way of life : they come here for money and to escape the stone-age sh!thole their own culture made. And they bring all their religious brainwashing baggage with them while they set about making mini ‘Muslim states’ wherever they settle. And despite everything they are given, they still look down on us as infidels.

    I said it the other day and this article just confirms it : the BBC support Islamic terrorists.

      Hello JohnC

      The bbc are very favourable

      “The Taliban sniper says he was happy while fighting, but also happy now working behind a desk”

      So nice he was happy while shooting people 🙁

        If the shoe was on the other foot, they would run lengthy empathy pieces on the people he shot and how their poor families struggle in life without anyone to support them.

        I’m regularly staggered at the agenda-based double standards of the Left.

      Here’s their risible template blow off to their recent ‘investigation’ by allegation.

      https://www.bbc.co.uk/contact/complaint/panoramasas

      “ Panorama also travelled to Afghanistan to gather its own evidence and went to villages that no British investigators have visited, to examine the sites of the shootings. The programme took care to ensure that the accounts of local people were placed in context”

      This is grossly unfair. The BBC is fully committed to diversity and supports all terrorists, at least those with an anti-Western, anti-Christian or anti-White agenda.

    Russia using Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant as army base – Ukraine
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-62469740

    So yesterday the BBC were giving full credibility to Ukranian claims that Russia were shelling the nuclear power plant then today we discover that Russia have an army base there.

    They treat the public like they are completely stupid.

      What jumped out for me in the BBC article about that is how they can make a big issue of Trump flushing torn up paper down the lavatory yet absolutely refuse the acknowledge any of the embarassing things Biden does due to his mental state – even though they are widely reported by many others.

      The most extreme of agenda-based double standards.

    It’s a depressing outlook. Massive inflation , fuel rationing are going to lead to a change of government at the next election. This Labour led coalition will take us back into the EU , open the borders to as many immigrants as want to come and legalise all of them. The public sector will grow and grow, cost more and more but produce less and less. The BBC will be given more money and new lease of life. Free speech, such as we have left, will be further curtailed. Whitey will become even more a second class citizen in his own land.The green agenda will be pushed further than ever. Democracy will disappear and replaced with perpetual WEF compliance.
    This Tory government has been bad and brought some of its biggest problems on itself. But I’m sure they would be a better bet than the Starmer coalition.

    Trump’s home is raided by the FBI and the BBC wheels in Dave Aronberg, State Attorney for Palm Beach County in Florida.

    Dave informs us that such a raid would only be considered for the most serious of crimes and that Trump had taken documents from the Whitehouse and Trump is a very unscrupulous and dodgy person who wouldn’t hand-over documents if subpoenaed.

    It is taken as fact that this is the case…Trump is guilty.

    Never do we hear that Aronberg is a Democrat.

    Maybe we should take everything he said with a huge dose of salt.

      Working on theory that what happens in the US comes here – I suppose the politicisation of law enforcement here will go that way too .

      We ve seen the comparatively minor example of Hampshire plod – queer plod acting like ambassadors for sodomy as if theirs is the way … with any pretence of neutrality rapidly going out of the window at the alter of ‘diversity ‘.

      If the former US head of state can be raided by the democrat controlled Feds – what will “police and crime commissioners ‘ do here- via their muppet chief constables ?

      I see that there is a clear out of the senior command as the new clone comes it …. The deputy commissioner has got a job doing some sort of ‘national review of police “( what another one ?)
      To cut down on his work he’d do well talking to Lawrence fox – who has message that plod should detect real crime ( robbery assault rape burglary fraud ) and not internet trivia which ‘upsets ‘ people ….

          The whole brexit thing showed we do not live in a democracy – that a parliament – led by a corrupt speaker – could prevent the desire of the people – the majority from taking place .

          Events at That time were so fast – and since – that they have been filed or forgotten – but I remember watching it and realise how easily democracy is just binned …. And those same people are just waiting ….

    Tom Daley on Today telling us how homophobia in so many countries is a ‘legacy of colonialism’….no objection from a fawning presenter.

    Hmmm…even the Guardian could spot the flaw in that….

    ‘Muslim condemnations of homosexuality, like those in Christianity, are based mainly on the story about God’s punishment of Sodom and Gomorrah which is recounted in the Qur’an as well as the Old Testament. In essence, the biblical and Qur’anic versions are very similar. ‘

    How about ‘QueerMajority’? What do they say?

    ‘It is not a spurious exaggeration to claim homophobia is more widespread among Muslims than within other religious communities.

    All 8 states or territories that mandate the death penalty for homosexuality are Muslim-majority. Among those that do not, many imprison people for being LGBT instead. All of these punishments are derived from mainstream interpretations of Sharia Law and Islamic Jurisprudence, which positions homosexuality as a major sin often equated to Sodomy and adultery. Where people are executed for the crime of being LGBT, the preferred methods of execution are public hanging or public stoning. Unsurprisingly, this international climate of execution and imprisonment encourages mob violence towards LGBT people.’

      It could be argued that the current era of homophilia is a legacy of colonialism, or at least a legacy of the people who were responsible for colonialism. Homosexuality was always popular with the ruling class, who picked up the habit in posh boy’s boarding schools. Once out in the colonies, there were plenty of willing boys in the bazaar to choose from if White women were not available, or ones tastes didn’t run to native women.

      As with socialism and class hatred, the left and allies have seamlessly inherited all the vices and prejudices of the old ruling class…

    Not happy days – not BBC yet

    From the FT

    STARTS

    Norway is to curb electricity exports to Europe if water levels for its hydropower plants remain low in a blow to hopes that the Nordic country could help ease its neighbours’ energy concerns ahead of a difficult winter.

    Under political pressure from high local electricity prices despite abundant hydropower resources, Norway’s centre-left government decided on Monday to prioritise refilling its reservoirs when their water levels are below seasonal averages.

    Norway is one of the biggest electricity exporters in Europe, often selling via cables to the UK, Germany, Netherlands and Denmark. This latest move foreshadows a tough winter for the continent as it grapples with the implications for energy supplies of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

    “The government will ensure that we have arrangements that prioritise the filling of our hydropower reservoirs and the security of supply for electricity, and limit exports when the water level in the reservoirs falls to very low levels,” Terje Aasland, Norway’s oil and energy minister, told political parties on Monday.

    Norway has exported electricity throughout its summer even though many hydropower reservoirs are at historically low levels following a dry winter and spring.

    Water levels in the south of Norway — where most of its export cables are based — are at their lowest since 1996 at just 49.3 per cent, compared with a seasonal average of 74.4 per cent, according to the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate.

    Aasland said officials would decide the exact mechanism in the next week but suggested that when reservoir levels were below the seasonal average, exports would be curbed.

    He added that electricity rationing — initially for street lights and mountain cabins — was a possibility in Norway, although unlikely even though the situation was “tight”.

    Some Norwegian politicians have suggested shutting off exports until the energy crisis is over amid anger at high prices for domestic consumers even while the state is earning record amounts from selling energy. Authorities have said that is not possible as Norway, although not an EU member, is part of the single energy market in Europe and has bilateral agreements covering the cables.

    While in many European countries electricity demand has largely either plateaued or declined since 1990, Norway’s domestic power consumption has risen almost 25 per cent over the same period as it has curbed use of fossil fuels and encouraged electric car ownership.

    Other big European electricity exporters, in particular France, are experiencing their own production problems. Output from France’s large nuclear reactor fleet has hit multi-decade lows owing to problems including corrosion at older plants.

    The prospect of electricity export curbs from Norway will raise further questions over the security of power supplies in several countries this winter, including the UK. A subsea power cable between Britain and Norway opened last year with a possible export capacity of 1.4 gigawatts, the equivalent of 2 to 3 per cent of expected British demand this winter.

    Analysts at Aurora Energy Research, a UK-based consultancy, said Britain might have to fire up coal plants that were due to be retired next month to make up for a shortfall in Norwegian imports — a move that would probably lead to even higher prices for consumers.ENDS

    I find it odd that the BBC protect images and headlines from being copied from the front news page. I tried to use the one for Trump they have today which must be the absolute worst they could find but it won’t let me link to it.

    It can’t be coincidence that the front-page is also often where they give us their most misleading lies – which are toned down considerably when you go into the actual article which will be archived.

    My point was to compare it to a recent one they chose for Biden:

    I see that the Democrats, terrified by what is building up to be serious threat of the return of the Donald are pulling strings in the communist FBI to try to get him blacked.

    They are using tactics previously only used in Countries with a Marxist Junta in charge.

    I believe the intention is twofold, either make a phoney charge stick which would rule out his standing for election or alternatively stir up revolt by his followers so they can underline the ridiculous allegations of insurrection against him.

    Either way their intention is clear, they fear a free and fair election and are trying to cancel Trump and the Republican Party as the only way they have left to prevent carnage at the polls.

    I hope to God it backfires in their evil faces and they collapse into the oblivion they deserve.

    It is truly beyond belief that the USA has reached a such a moral low and has such a malevolent bunch of parasites in government.

    I think they are happy to incite and see violence on the streets so they can replicate Canada’s authoritarian model and it appears that the normal balances of the Electorate, the Law and the Constitution now mean nothing to them.

    A very dark day for both the USA and democracy.

      “HMPO says it expects to receive more than nine million passport applications in 2022 rather than the seven million it usually processes every year.”

      I wonder how many passport holders there are worldwide?
      I mean not everyone has a passport, and times those figures by 10…

      “Passport costs
      As of August 2022:
      £177 to secure a renewal
      appointment within two days
      (adult only)
      £142 one-week adult fast

    They’ve calculated btw – that the average home cost has gone up by another £500 – pa – taking the average fuel bill to £4500 pa …. But I guess this is for a ‘nuclear family ‘ with kids who have no conception of money .

    In a way I’m glad that the BBC is moaning about no government – nut nut is on his honeymoon – the civil service is either still at home or on holiday – and the panic in the BBC – project fear – builds and builds .

    I don’t think there is an easy remedy – those who get the winter allowance will get a bit more – but for ordinary taxpayers – get on with it . Learn to live with no power to save money – no TV – No BBC …..

            Darren McCaffrey came across as a complete idiot. Of course Seb Gorka didn’t have proof that President Trump hadn’t broken the law. How can you prove a negative?

            His point was that no US president has ever had his house raided, certainly not for an obscure law relating to the national archives. Seb did give proof of the times Democrats actually did destroy or steal documents, and there were no charges.

            I am glad that Seb sticks up for himself and refuses to take any BS from no-marks like this one. His “interview” a minute later with a Democrat partisan was noticeably more accomodating.

            I think this might be McCaffrey’s “taking the knee” moment. He won’t be missed.

              McCaffery was embarrassing.
              I hope Seb Gorka doesn’t think he (McCaffery) speaks for us.
              McCaffery couldn’t shut up when Gorka was trying to answer him but when the democrat wimmin came on he was like a little puppy.
              He never interrupted her once.

              100% total lefty democrat loving bias.

    The BBC have opened this up for a Have Your Say comments. Lots of typical leftie comments about ‘stop dividends’ and ‘nationalise the water companies’ or ‘bloody Tories/Thatcher’ etc.

    I posted “A new town the size of Milton Keynes is needed every year to cope with immigration, putting more pressure on water supplies, but the woke lot won’t admit this is unsustainable”

    Moderators removed my comment before it even went live.

    Why do the BBC even bother with HYS if they have to moderate every comment that isn’t wanting socialism?

    Don’t know why I bothered looking but wasn’t disappointed when I saw Dr Polly Toynbee Jeckyll and Mr Marina Hyde in the Guardian hammer and tongs at it to justify the appalling political invasion of Trump’s home. Both articles have so much hate and bile for Trump that they are much more revealing about the grim characters of these two “Guardian” angels than of any revelation concerning Trump.

    No doubt the usual crew of leftie whiners will be saying that they don’t live in central Europe so it won’t affect them, but of course that’s not true, the demand is still going to be there forcing other EU countries to shift supply to them, and the price of crude which had been falling is now rising.

    None of this is good news, but at least the Texas Freeport LNG terminal should be back on line soon, which will be good news for us but not so good for the Americans where natural gas prices will rise in response.

    I remember this jingle for the football results on
    the BBC since I was a kid on the BBC radio since the early
    1950’S , John Webster ? followed by James Alexander Gordon
    in the 1970’s . It was the way of finding out if you had won
    the football polls .
    You got to know the way by Alexander Gordon’s tone if you
    had predicted a DRAW ! ARSENAL 2 TOTTENHAM 2 !!
    Seven more to get correct!!
    But of course male football is not ” inclusive” enough for the BBC anymore, let alone women’s.
    And these pale, stale, male and female presenters are surplus
    to requirements at the BBC. So many of us driving home
    after watching a match as far apart as Plymouth or Carlisle
    cannot turn on the BBC at 5 PM to hear the results anymore
    after 70 years. BUT I have a solution for the BBC and
    their problem with inclusiveness !
    Let the Premiership results be given by one on the plethora
    of Republic of Ireland women sports reporters they have, with a southern Irish brogue.
    The Championship results could be given by one of many
    continuation presenters with a Caribbean patois dialect.
    Division 1 by one of the presenters from the ONE SHOW who
    talks with an exaggerated Kenneth Williams tone , but
    without Williams great sarcastic humour.
    I would even put up with a Scouser sounding like Jamie
    Carragher giving us the Second division results . Even though
    I don’t understand half he says when his mumbling.
    Yes to keep the revered programme going. Let us have
    the ladies. football, netball, cricket , rugby results slung in.
    Is that inclusive enough for you BBC !!

        Mehta is an Indian surname, derived from the Sanskrit word mahita meaning ‘great’ or ‘praised’. It is found among several Indian religious groups, including Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and Parsis. Among Hindus, it is used by a wide range of castes and social groups, including Brahmins, Rajputs and Bania (caste). Among Oswals, Porwal Banias, and Punjabi Khatris, Mehta is a clan name.

          So did he mean he was Hindu but was in Pakistan. He was definitely living India after partition, so should have been safe

      It’s completely analogous to the tricks the Nazis pulled.

      The problem is that the Leftists like the BBC and Guardian think this sort of thing is acceptable if it’s removing a threat to the agenda. The ends justify the means. Extrapolate this a few steps and you have ‘The final solution’.

      They would be screaming with hatred if Trump had done it to Obama.

      The BBC report this:

      ‘But given the explosive ramifications of this search in particular, many political analysts believe the approval would have had to come from the highest level.

      That would likely include FBI Director Christopher Wray – who was appointed by Trump when he was president – and also his boss, the current attorney general Merrick Garland.’

      So the top responsibility actually lies with Merrick Garland.

      Who was appointed by Biden. Which the BBC scum do not mention in an absolute whopper lie-by-omission.

    Thailand toad: Amphibian’s lift in Cardiff student’s suitcase
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-62478753

    Basically a toad jumped in a suitcase while someone was packing. That’s it.

    Hannah, 20, said: “After the toad had gone, we just sat in our lounge and were like, what has just happened?”

    “When I first saw the toad moving I was on the phone to my mum, I just closed the suitcase, and ran out.

    “Me and my housemate then carried it upstairs into the bathroom. We unzipped the suitcase, and there’s a toad sitting in the corner of it looking at us.”

    It just goes on and on:

    ‘Next she turned to Facebook, and got a message about a rescue centre for reptiles in Cwmbran, Torfaen.’

    “We also offered him a couple of different bugs, so we could feed him up a bit.’

    ‘Jackie Hamilton, 40, then drove to Cardiff to pick it up. She owns 150 different species of reptile and has been working with them since she was 16, but she described this as “a first”.’

    ‘It’s now being cared for by a reptile expert’

    My flabber is completely gasted at how far the BBC have fallen as a serious news outlet. They have completely lost sight of what they are supposed to be. News written by children for other children.

    A banner running along the bottom on talk tv is saying that in January the price cap for energy is expected to be £4,200.
    This is two thirds of the full state pension, the one that about 90% of pensioners get, (not the new higher pension)

    I know they can claim some benefits but if you have a little saved up or are getting another pension you have paid into (is that also now a ‘benefit’) then the cut off point for any help is easily passed.

    It’s beginning to look like the dems and their tame commies in the FBI are realising with horror that they have screwed up. The backlash is growing massively by the hour. How could they be so childish, blind and confident that this would seal Trumps fate? If anything support for Trump has skyrocketed out of sight and we are now really looking at the total demolition of the dems in the USA. All good news in my opinion.

    The aim of this stupidity was to trap Trump into a place he would be unable to escape from. A purely political shenannegin in fact.

    You can fool some of the people all of the time, you can fool all of the people some of the time but eventually the truth has a way of finding you out.

    I cannot believe the utter stupidity of what they have done, it’s a death wish for the dems in the USA.

    I would venture to say that this has been the biggest own goal by any political organisation in history.

    They simply do not know how to play fair or refuse to do so because if they did they would lose big time every time like all woke-folk who possess the thought process, selfishness and greed of a seven year old child on TikTok.

    Go Brandon, give ‘em hell. You have stuff they can’t understand, like grit, responsibility and strength of character. In fact what the USA badly needs right now!
