    Just watched Neil Oliver on GBN catchup. The segment on Leicester was almost comic. Some fired up Imam blaming everything on the Indian Government , a calm Hindu saying he didn’t know why it had kicked off but that the problems back in India ought not to be brought into the UK.
    After those two had had their say Oliver and his guests expressed their bemusement as to why in that model of multiculturalism that is Leicester this should this have happened.

    Now Neil Oliver usually takes the bull by the horns and tells it as it is but I feel he ducked this one.Earlier in his introduction to the show he mentioned the problems of having large number of migrants whose culture and values are so totally different to ours and that multiculturalism was only thought up ( by Blair) when integration of migrants was seen not to be happening. Spot on.

    So he knows exactly what the root cause of the trouble in Leicester is. He knows that it very likely to escalate and spread. But it was a step too far for him to actually state those reasons and conclusions in that segment. Still he and GBN must be applauded for at least discussing the issue even if they seem to baulked at drawing the logical conclusion.

    Heard a clip of Starmer’s speech praising the queen, I think on Classic FM top of the hour. Sounded like a bad case of plagiarism to me. I was moved when Macron (whom I don’t really like] spoke of our Queen being the Queen to everybody else in the world. So did Starmer with a little manipulation of the pronouns. If the man hasn’t an original idea to praise the late Queen, I don’t hold out for much hope on economic policies etc.

    I see the BBC are running multiple articles every day about the tax cuts for higher-rate payers.

    The subject is not the issue : what is important here is that they have learned with Boris is that if they relentlessy bombard people with the same topic again and again and again, they can force the government to do what they want.

    The BBC has become one big publicly funded left-wing activist group who have the full support of OFCOM who are cut from the same cloth.

    We will find out just how much public support they have if they are changed to a subscription model as they should be. It’s ridiculous that the public are forced to fund them to do it.

    News report .

    Excitement at Labour Party Conference when a real worker is found attending .

    A real worker and not from the public sector caused excitement for half an hour at the Labour Party Conference.
    Sir Keir Starmer fell to his knees as though he thought a BLM activist was near such was his shock . “ This proves Labour is popular with the working man/ woman/ them “ he gushed .

    Unfortunately it later transpired that the worker was setting up one of the marquees for the delegates to eat vegan stuff .
    “ I got delayed and wanted to leave but it got hectic , you’d think they’re have better exit signs “ said the worker .

      The whole thing is surreal.

      I can only assume Keir’s team got The BBC to lock Glenda in the broom cupboard.

      Is any outside the KoolAid fountain fooled?

    Voice is new to me, reading 7 and 8 a.m. News on Sunday morning R4: Lisa Costello or Liza Costelloe. Could be an internal promotion of someone at the BBC who wants a go in front of a microphone. Or it could be wasteful recruitment of yet more staff by an organisation that does not have to earn its revenues.

    Whatever; Lisa/Liza did a good job.

    Give up watching telly. Cancel that TV Licence. Put the telly in the loft/garage/cupboard.

        The Left simply cannot accept the notion that many people simply do not agree with liberalism. It’s fine in theory but crumbles into farce and complete hypocrisy when it meets the real world where certain sections of society have no interest at all in ‘being good to each other’.

        So they revert to type, spit out their dummies out and start using words like ‘intolerance’ to label the people they hate.

        The most intolerant people on the planet are Muslim’s. By a country mile. Until I hear these Leftist hypocrites admit it, I have no interest in anything else they have to say.

          That this House, while welcoming the success of England’s football team in the European 1996 Championships, deplores the jingoism and nationalism in the pages of sections of the tabloid press which does nothing to maintain the true spirit of sport, but is reminiscent of Hitler’s use of sport to enhance his evel regime in the 1930s.

    The Autralians voted in the Labour party and it didn’t take long for the catastrophes to begin.
    First the power grid collapsed under the strain of Green stupidity and now the Australian Central Bank has collpased.

    Let me put that into some context, this is like the Bank of England or the Fedral reserve going bust. It’s unthinkable normally but with the power of Socialism, it’s not any old disaster the unthinkable becomes real, and not in a good way either.

    Munroe Bergdorf rehired at L’Oréal, 3 years after being fired over white supremacy comments
    Bergdorf made history in 2017 when she was hired as the face of a L’Oréal U.K. campaign, making her the brand’s first transgender model.
    https://www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-out/munroe-bergdorf-rehired-l-or-al-3-years-after-being-n1228376

    Bergdorf made history in 2017 when she was hired as the face of a L’Oréal U.K. campaign, making her the brand’s first transgender model. However, she was fired shortly afterward when the Daily Mail published a Facebook post she wrote denouncing racism after a Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, left one person dead and 19 others injured. In her post, Bergdorf said that white people must “admit their race is the most violent and oppressive force of nature on Earth.”

    “Honestly I don’t have energy to talk about the racial violence of white people any more. Yes ALL white people,” Bergdorf wrote in the post. “Because most of ya’ll don’t even realise or refuse to acknowledge that your existence, privilege and success as a race is built on the backs, blood and death of people of colour. Your entire existence is drenched in racism. From micro-aggressions to terrorism, you guys built the blueprint for this s—.”

      GBnews Andrew Doyle just explained lefty reasoning re Trudeau blacking up
      ‘When we lefty guys transgress, say by doing blackface
      it’s just a clumsy error, so we should be forgiven

      but when you righties do exactly the same thing
      that is you revealing that you are secretly Hitler .. so of course you should not be forgiven “

        Much more than ‘not forgiven’, you should be ruined.

        They’ve managed it enough via twitter now that they are complacent. They don’t just hound you off social media, they go after anyone linked with you such as your employer to utterly ruin your whole life. They are doing exactly that to Alex Belfield now – with the BBC at the front.

        This is the brave new world of the nasty, vindictive, spiteful and extremely shallow left wing activists.

        Nobody hates like the Left.

    Starmer’s 100% net zero energy by 2030 “plan” is the most ludicrous nonsense I’ve heard in a while. He shows himself to be completely detached from reality. Perhaps the projected year was really 2300 and there was a typo in the script . The idea that anything like it is achievable in eight years is so far off the mark it’s breathtaking. There doesn’t appear to be any cost analysis at all. The bill would run into hundreds of £Billions.
    I couldn’t say that Starmer has gone down in my estimation since he was already below rock bottom.
