Its on MSN, but typical No Comments are allowed, like the bBC will open up Have Your Say when they feel its acceptable
PS how about a headline of White Man Feared – not allowed or racist 🙁
If you know you are innocent and can prove it then dont struggle if the Police want to take you in, it just makes you look guilty.
Blimey!
Never thought I’d see this headline!

The BBC report almost everything to satisfy the bias checkers.
Their trickery is in how they prevent you reading it. That is big news given the context of their headlines all this week – but I don’t see it on the front page anywhere.
Even more shocking there is a white bloke in the photo, although he could pass for ginger….

20%
The rate of income tax is 20% of the net adjusted profits. WHT rates are between 5% and 20%. Zakat is charged on the company’s Zakat base at 2.5%. Zakat base represents the net worth of the entity as calculated for Zakat purposes.21 Jun 2022
So Zakat — the middle, Third Pillar, of the Five supports the Prophet Muhammad, God’s blessings and peace be upon him, said Islam is built on — is unique among the obligations of belief. It welds worship to the transactional, the moral to the material, the individual to the communal, and the economic to the societal.
Notably, God specifically identifies Zakat as fundamental to all real religion. He says of all the peoples to whom He ever revealed the Scripture:

TOADY Watch #1 – has JustRemainIn Webb inadvertantly got to the right answer with Andrew Griffith MP?
The Big Question: was it Government (ie. Liz Truss’s) incompetence that has led to the last eight days ‘market upheaval’ or was it Treasury sabotage? Apparently it was Liz’s impatience and incompetence and not really having any political ‘nous’. Come back Rishi: all is forgiven.
Thatcher and Howe and 1979 all over again!
Our Justin sounds so bored – even when doing the Far left propaganda ‘ press review’ which just allows far left press slurs to be repeated via the BBC a few times …
Fed, interesting. I thought he was quite energised in his interview and Andrew Griffith, yet another Treasury Secretary!, obviously had JustRemainIn’s measure and was insisting on being able to answer questions.
Memo to PM: When you have some time after sorting out the chaos you have caused, could you get a move on with slimming down ‘Government’ and, especially, the Cabinet. That would be a really good measure to stimulate UK ‘growth’. Oh and have a think about re-hiring Dominic Cummings to help keep you organised.
Pound against euro has recovered a bit . I know this because i have to buy euros regularly . At the moment the real price is 1.11 up from 1.09 two days ago . A month ago it was around 1.17
But 6 years ago it was around 1.37…
Apparently today is The Last Day of The Steve Wright Show – something i dumped decades ago .
Stand by for one of those awful blubby luvvie farewells – gulp
Or was it yesterday ? Whatever ..
Trev Noah is leaving something in America too.
Apparently.
I read about Noah, but who is the Noah the bBC are keen on
Interesting.
BBC staff are trained not to debate. Especially 28GatesofHellers

“…. happier in a BBC studio.”. Perhaps he has the opportunity to review the script before a so-called interview? No need to be scared about an unwanted question that way, a cynic might say. Simplifies the editors job a bit as well, perhaps, to fit it into the available time for a clip.“
The BBC rig it going in, rig it during, and then rig the edit.
Eh, Dino?

Climate Crisis? Energy Crisis? Eat Bugs …..
I’m a Celebrity All Stars: Who is in it? Everything we know so far
https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/63061316
MM, I have an idea for ‘I’m a Celebrity All Stars’ a generator connected to an exercise bike for the ‘slebs’ to generate electricity for their own lighting and electrical gadgets as well as to recharge the camera batteries and microphones.
Got to be a great green runner that one . . . . …….
The BBC has an entrenched position….it reports as if the economics are settled….the mini-budget was bad…bizarre…mad. Its reporting is a deluge of negative reaction and comment with no context or reasoning given for the budget…ie a major, major financial crisis where energy prices were going to cripple people. In the last week the energy crisis and the need to tackle it has barely been mentioned on the BBC solely concerned as it is with informing us as to the immorality and economic madness of tax cuts, which it tells us are the reason for markets et al reacting in the way they did, and promoting the anti-Tory, anti-British mouthings of various nobodies.
Oh…but hold on…this morning Justin Webb stated that it was the failure to provide a full and complete budget that spooked the markets….the government should have waited until the November budget and got the OBR’s stamp of approval before implementing measures to stop the energy crisis.
Oh…but what happened to Nick Robinson’s infamous incantation about ‘delay and dither’? The BBC told us decisions needed to be made now as people were frightened and uncertain…they needed to know how much energy was going to cost….now.
Aah but….all….change…should have waited…reckless and too impetuous….we need an all encompassing, carefully thought-out budget not rapid decision making that provides instant solutions to pressing and urgent problems! Let the people eat cake and wait, wait wait until they know whether its more cake or heating for them this winter.
Seems the BBC is massaging the message to suit…it’s changing daily and so often is not actual reporting but a regurgitation of Labour or the IMF’s or Remainer rhetoric.
pug, politically, ie. tactically, it was bad: the Tories have decided they have lost the next election. It was also a triumph of hope over reality and experience. Governments cannot create growth. Blair and Brown did not create the growth of 1997-2006, it happened despite them, including the blip in the “iBoom” when things went a bit pear shaped in the Far East around 2000/2001.
Finally, it was dogmatic budget. Tory dogma is that high taxes are bad + high taxes on high earners are bad. That might have been true at the end of the 1940s and into the early 1950s. But it is not true for the UK economy from the late 1960s onwards. Thatcher and Howe discovered that after their disastrous 1979 Budget. Low taxes on low earners drive the UK economy now.
The Tories could regain ground if they secured our borders and deported all the invading criminals ! We have had years of threats and broken promises .
Simples
Listening to Campbell…he was having a very chummy chat with a young Tory supporter….until she suggested, rightly, that the reason for the ‘crisis’ was the torrent of negative media reporting…suddenly Campbell turned defensive, never willing to accept criticism, and claimed that it couldn’t be the media because so many others were critical…Labour, the IMF, Carney, foreign governments.
Hmmm…isn’t it the job of the BBC to examine and challenge those criticisms not promote them?
Ironically Campbell had just attacked another media colleague….David Frost in the Telegraph who was also critical of the critics. Apparently this could be one man’s ‘spit flecked rant..or a trenchant observation”
Now why say that? Clearly trying to suggest there is something controversial or suspect about the article….but there was nothing ‘spit flecked’ or ranty about the piece….just inconveniently truthful I suspect.
Why do we not hear these positions being put on Today and the BBC? Instead all we get are the critics and carpers and those willing us to fail…the BBC is basically Lord Ha Ha giving voice to our enemies.
‘I write this week in a state of high anxiety, deep concern and, yes, even anger.
I am angry at the feeding frenzy that has once again surrounded our Government and our country – but also at the avoidable mistakes that have caused it. The stakes could hardly be higher. This country has been offered the opportunity to be the first to break from stagnation, from the paradigm that says that growth is unattainable or maybe doesn’t even matter. That won’t be easy. So it is crucial to proceed with seriousness – to explain, to persuade, and to bring people along.
This week has not been a great start. The Government must raise its game, and fast.
Liz Truss is taking on the economic establishment – the conventional view, the view of the international hectoring classes like the IMF, the European Commission, the Mark Carneys and the Gordon Browns, the editorial board of the Financial Times and the The Economist, the whole ghastly crew that thinks that the West inevitably faces stagnation and decline.’
But wait….what did Andrew Neil say a few days ago?
‘Truss is taking a great gamble. But sticking with the failed policies of the past would be an even bigger one’
‘After 12 years of Tory government we finally get a Tory budget. Yesterday’s not-so-mini-budget was a watershed event, taking the country in a new economic direction and creating clear blue water between government and opposition.
Many of the verities of Britain’s economic establishment have been slaughtered in the process.
The Treasury, the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS), the Resolution Foundation and other like-minded social democratic organisations have long obsessed about the equity and income distribution consequences of any tax changes.
Such is their clout with the media, especially the BBC, that they have long inhibited Tory Chancellors from doing Tory things.
No longer.
There’s another factor at work here. The global currency and debt markets have had a ‘down’ on Britain for some time. It’s not clear why. Britain’s debt-to-GDP ratio is among the lowest in the G7 club of big economies. Our budget deficit is on a par with many other major economies. Economic growth is anaemic — as it is everywhere, from the Eurozone to America to China.
I suspect it’s a Brexit hangover. The publications global market players read most closely include the New York Times, the Economist, the Financial Times and leading European papers such as Le Monde and the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. All — and others like them — have been relentlessly negative about Britain since the 2016 referendum.
The short-term economic significance of the tax cuts and the energy price cap is that, together, they will act like a multi-billion-pound boost to the economy at a time when monetary policy is tightening to squeeze inflation out and the global economy is stuttering.
In times gone by we’d have called it Keynesian pump-priming, though best not to mention that to free-marketeers like Truss or Kwarteng. It will make any downturn shallower and shorter than it would otherwise have been — and offers the prospect of a strong recovery sometime in the first half of next year.
Truss must certainly hope so. It is said she’s taking a great gamble. That’s true. But sticking with the failed policies of the recent past was probably an even a bigger gamble. The stakes are certainly high.’

Looking at an article about Joe Rogan’s success as a podcaster I read this…..
‘Even just a few years ago it was the presumption of old media organisations like the BBC that attention spans were getting ever smaller. Long-form interviews gave way to ever shorter-form segments. A listener to the Today programme, for instance, will know that the average item on today’s “very important issue” rarely gets more than a couple of minutes. Often shared between several people. Nobody gets to express any depth. There is never any nuance. Meaningful disagreements are replaced by wholly meaningless ones.’
True…you can hear any BBC interview, with a Tory [Labour politicians seem to get much longer and uninterrupted ‘interviews’….or platforms], and yeah, they’re short, they’re shouty, they’re not informative, they’re combative and a waste of time….all, you might suspect, deliberately so…..it gives the BBC the power to then interpret what was said in their own way and to shape it to suit their own messaging. An interview that is short and choppy, with no real narrative just lots of interruptions and changes of direction gives them the ability to cut and paste and to put words, meanings and motivations into the mouths of people who never intended to say what the BBC says they said.
Something meaningless is given meaning by the BBC.
As the Telegraph says….‘His[Rogan]secret is that he lets his guests have their say and the listeners feel as though they are sitting in on a conversation that is genuinely going somewhere.’
Not something the BBC would ever contemplate as to let guests put forward a wholly thought out vision, policy or idea uninterrupted by a carping presenter would be giving them all too much power….and, God forbid, allow the audience to make up their own minds without the BBC filtering the thoughts and words to suit themselves….not only do we have a highly critical and questioning presenter but after the interview the BBC wheels in another BBC journalist to tell us what it all means….can’t have you thinking for yourselves….let the BBC do it for you.

Mishal know a lot of dog breeders?
As a blind Muslim woman, Mona Ramouni has had to make do without a guide dog her whole life. The 28-year-old’s strictly religious parents would not allow a dog in the house, considering the animal unclean. But then Miss Ramouni stumbled across a website article about miniature guide horses in April 2008.13 Nov 2010
dogs are not haram
Koran only says that people should be careful not to get dog spittal on their hands.
The Koran also allows exemptions on rules if it is for a higher purpose
eg if you need to do something for your job.
But many Muslims don’t understand the Koran and follow local dogma instead.

The BBC has helped wreak enormous political, economic and social damage across Britain in the last week as it’s toxic, slanted ‘journalism’ distorts and corrupts what happened last Friday with the budget.
Justin Webb’s ‘interview’ with a Treasury minister this morning is a perfect example of the clear bias and willingness for the government and the economy to fail and to be shown to be failing.
Naturally the interview was based upon the ‘failure’ of the budget…no idea that there was anything positive about it…such as curbing a recession, putting a huge brake on energy bills and looking to create future growth…or indeed that the ‘failure” was entirely manufactured and false.
The minister stated that other nations also put up interest rates as Webb tried to say this was a uniquely British failure due to the immoral and incompetent budget. Webb demanded to know what other countries…but not which other countries had put up interest rates but which had suffered the same way as Britain….which is not what the minister had claimed. Webb was trying to gotcha him by asking him to prove something he never said.
And the minister wasn’t wrong in his assertions…hmmm….a BBC headline…
‘Fed rate hike: US interest rates hit 14-year high in inflation battle’
Who knew eh? The BBC doesn’t like to compare and contrast in this case…it will express shock and outrage at British rates rising….2.25 as against the US 3.75%….but somehow, in the same interview, fail to mention the US’s rates have risen more…or that the Euro fell like the Pound…due, not to the budget, but because of the strength of the dollar not the weakness of the Pound….a strength coming from those ‘evil’ interest rate rises.
Oh and hmmmm…‘Banks in nearly every country – with the big exceptions of Japan and China – are facing similar trade-offs as they raise rates to combat their own inflation problems. ‘
Amazing though that, apparently, the economic crisis is a uniquely British, er Tory, problem….caused by our little budget…..or is it not actually caused by the budget but by the reaction to it….a reaction fostered and fermented by ill-judged, or malign, BBC reporting which also subsequenty feeds into British Public perceptions and reactions….hence Labour is vastly ahead in the polls…..the BBC is very happy..the plan is working.
The fact that the Pound has recovered all the losses sustained since last Friday might indicate this was all so much sound and fury signifying nothing….but exploited to the full by cynical and opportunistic parties who would rather see Britain in ruins than have a Tory government.
Democracy or a Mediaocracy where unelected, smarmy, cleverer than thou ‘journalists’ determine who run the country regardless of electoral results and voter intentions? An 80 seat majority apparently means nothing and is just something to side-step with a barrage of lies, half-truths and exaggerated and oft invented ‘scandals’.

Unbelievably he was appointed the first Chancellor of Buckinghamshire New University in May 2022.

As Martin Wolf, the chief economics commentator of the financial times, says: ‘The desirability of sizeable immigration is a matter more of values than of economics. It is not a choice between wealth and poverty, but of the sort of country one desires to inhabit.’

Here’s something I thought about with regard to the current efforts of the medical profession/BBC and all the rest of the Marxists to convince young children to destroy their lives and change sex. As a corollary of these efforts, it occurred to me that the Marxists could in effect, ‘kill two birds with one stone’ by combining two Marxist principal goals:
1. That of changing sex and,
2. Work to psychologically convince white children that they were actually born black.
We know about the former, but the latter would lend credence to, and help advertisers / BBC convince the public that the population consists of 75/80% black people not the 3/3.5% statistically.
There that would fix another problem…………..
“The Public paying the BBC TV Tax under threat of prison Alice laughed: “There’s no use trying,” they she said; “one can’t believe impossible things.”

I may well have missed a point made before by others, but the sound problems of GBNews are either the result of unbelievably inept and perhaps under-paid engineers or ex-BBC technical staff who are not actually ‘ex’ at all.
Well things haven’t improved in the year that it’s been operating . And a bit too shouty for me – with a few quality exceptions …
The biggest sound problem is the panel bits.
To stay in with Ofcom they put a lefty on each panel
but they keep saying such unhinged stuff, that I have to keep hitting the mute button whenever it’s their turn.
I previously speculated that Ofcom lets BBC Radio climate campaign shows and the EarthTX TV channel , get away without having opposition voices on.
That’s because “the science is settled”.

Next prog about future societies “can live without gods”
Don’t want to alarm anyone but on my drive into Hull this afternoon, I saw quite a lot of military vehicles (just landrovers and stuff) heading to the ferry port.
Normally I wouldn’t be bothered, but I noticed that all of the vehicles – despite being very old models – were pristine.
When I did my time in the RAF, we had 2 sets of vehicles. The well-used stuff for normal duties and exercises and a fleet of brand new vehicles which were only to be used for actual deployment.
Now I see Russia have done exactly what everyone expected and immediately Biden has made a provocative, confrontational comment.
Ironically I was listening to an old Wogan radio show this morning where the news had Obama making a speech about Cuba and how the days of the USA interfering in global matters were over.
I am convinced the Democrats want this war. I hope we can get past the November elections before it starts so we will know just how much the people support them.
JohnC
Maybe they are heading for Finland / Sweden to support the new NATO border —- must be a weekend exercise somewhere…
Well, I know we didn’t use the new stuff for exercises ….
And I also observed that the camouflage jacket on the arm hanging out the window looked brand new too.
Protecting UK borders?
LOL
Free donations for the Ukrainians I’d think.
Hopefully they’ll soon be adorned with hand painted Zs on the sides.
Old models could be a vintage military festival
or movie filming
but I don’t see anything listed
The military ambulances being refurbished in Goole are painted white for export to Ukraine.
These were definitely military. They had the plates and the people driving them were in uniform. Also some were towing the kind of trailers we had. And all were kitted out identically including a big stub attachement on the front for an antenna.
I saw some going the other way (out of hull) on my way out which is why it pricked my interest when I saw others heading for the ferry.
I saw about 10-15 identical landrovers plus some trucks and they were travelling in the same direction as me so I only saw the ones I overtook. There must have been a lot more.

Not hugely interested in the economics. How about the Tories strive to be the most conservative right-wing major party in the developed world instead? You know: support for family, faith, nation, tradition, that sort of stuff?
FT is doing the Fallacy of The Middle Ground
The best way is the best way
It’s not necessarily in the middle
It’s like The BBC and groupies reckoning they are bang on by being useless as far as everyone is concerned.
“We get complaints equally from both sides
so we’ve got it about right”
say deluded BBC execs
..who are also lying through their teeth
cos the vast majority of complaints I see are complaints and about lefty bias.

Hi Mark,
I’m trying to work out where I fit in all of this. I don’t suppose you could upload page two?
Mick the FT chooses to put most articles behind the paywall
However that article that is negative about the Tories is NOT behind the paywall
https://www.ft.com/content/d5f1d564-8c08-4711-b11d-9c6c7759f2b8
Anyway it seems the vast majority of FT articles about Tories are very negative from the headlines they choose to use.
What’s on the y axis or does that not indicate any values?
The other chart is below… data used is ‘values’, which suggests self-administered answers.
Colour me sceptical about the FT and Chapel Hill (who?) doing qualitative research, even though they’ve used nice colours.
The FT, like the Economist, once respected print titles, now ideologically driven jokes.
And the BBc tries to pass them off as impartial.
Guest putting authoritarian/traditional vs libertarian/progressive on the axes suggests the creator isn’t too familiar with the current political landscape.
Unless the survey was designed at Woodstock in 1969?
It’s the sodding FT!
Like Toenails lifting BS off The Critic because it suits, this makes the entire media estate beyond help.

It’s winter here. the wind and rain are pounding down
well drizzling
but ITV local news last night had the weather presenter insisting that the entirity of England is still in drought
a claim I find laughable
There were brownish patches on short grass for about a week two months ago.
A drought isn’t defined as having a less rain than a normally rainy month
“What do you see, Winston?”
“I see rain, howling wind, and I feel cold”
“No, Winston”, replied O’Brien in his calm, collected voice. “You see scorching heat and drought. Only if you accept what the Party says, and commit to saving the planet and paying more to energy companies, can you be free.”

“UK not in recession, new figures suggest”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-63086562
Has someone got egg on their face?
taffman, GDP numbers always get adjusted. Even good old Steffie Flanders (great to hear her on TWatO this week) got egg on her face years ago, as did Pesto, for forgetting ‘adjustment time’. GDP is a bit of a ‘damp finger in the wind’ measure of economic activity anyway.
Much better guide are unemployment figures. Ours are still worryingly close to 1.3 million. Despite the ‘Boom’ and ‘continual growth’ of the Blair/Brown years, they never got unemployment much below 1.3 million. My concern is that that is the new natural floor for unemployment in the UK. When I was at school it was 350,000 to 400,000 and even then a third of that number were considered to be ‘workshy’ and choosing ‘to live on the dole’.
0.2% growth isn’t much to shout about really is it now
This really needs the BBC to confirm, as I believe these questions/statements are pre vetted?
“Black and Asian infected blood victims feel let down, inquiry told”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-63091395
Is this report stirring things up ? is it divisive?
That is another truly appaling ’empathy’ article with a clear ‘all BAMES are innocent’ and ‘all whites are racists’ agenda.
Look how they simply dismiss this:
Mr Ahmad disputes a medical document shown to the inquiry which states his infection occurred before he came to the UK, and that it was not clear how he was infected.
Much of the rest is pure, irrelevant empathy which the BBC use to put you on the ‘victim’s side such as:
“At one point they said if you see any blood on your clothes, you must take them out and burn them or throw them away,” he said.
Mr Ahmad broke down in tears while giving evidence, adding: “Within the family it was very hard and my wife didn’t want me to go near the kids.”
And then we get to the reason:
‘When he applied for financial support from the infected blood support scheme …’
Anyone who has spent time in any of these countries knows they lie more easily than they tell the truth to get money. But the BBC lefty idiots cannot help themselves but to put victims on a plinth in their endless desire to demonstrate just how morally superior they are to everyone else.
Here’s the author:

JohnC,
“…a clear ‘all BAMES are innocent’ and ‘all whites are racists’ agenda.”
John, when you are projecting your own bigotry you might find it useful in the future not to make it so blatantly obvious.
“Anyone who has spent time in any of these countries knows they lie more easily than they tell the truth…”
I’m commenting on the BBC reporting maxi. Nothing else.
Your comment makes no sense at all. Have you been drinking ?. You should wait until you are sober before posting because you tend to make a complete arse of yourself.
ITV local NewsPR spending time promoting their own ITV Pride of Britain awards for RightThinking hero members of the public
Just like BBC Radio Humberline spent time promoting their own BBC Make A Difference awards for RightThinking heroes

Michelle Donelan MP.
Will she do a better job than Nadine Dorries ?
That is get rid of the Telly Tax and sort out OfCom ?
My local MP – and the answer to Taffman’s question is nope, nopety-nope, not a chance.
Can’t imagine how she got the job – even her virtue signalling is toe-curlingly lame.
No stomach whatsoever for a scrap, supine – her civil servants must love it.
Vote for UKIP or The Reform Party and don’t pay the tax that robs from the poor to give to the rich. .
Simples .
UK economy already well down the bBBC list on the six oclock news.
Putin’s words are much more important than unity with four new political subjects: it is a fundamental declaration of war against the modern West and the modern world in general. This is the manifesto of Tradition. I cannot imagine the depth of the consequences of this. Just as in the Old Testament David threw a slingshot at the giant Goliath, so it is today. It was an eschatological, religious discourse.

The News Quiz Radio 4 6.30pm repeated tomorrow at 12.30pm .
Don’t bother if you want to hear anything funny . It was as dire as all other BBC so called comedies.
For example this was said as though original and funny :
They’re like Robin Hood in reverse .
Are you laughing , side splitting on the floor helpless with laughter saying please please no more I’m gasping for air ?
Here’s something funnier than that :
The reverse of Robin Hood is Dooh Nibor . I made that one up but even I don’t think it’s funny but it’s better and more original than the BBCs effort .
So the scores for the News Quiz are ;
Labour propaganda — 35
Jibes at Torres —19
Smugness—68
Predictability—100
Offensiveness to ordinary people —3
Jokes against old folk —4
Normal BBC bias —56
Humour —0
The waste of electricity making that programme should be accounted for in future energy needs .
BBC WEB-SITE Watch #1 – BBC is definitely guilty this time
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-51768274 Distorting the statistics.
Yet another change. I smell a rodent in ma kitchen!
I love the photo with the nurse injecting the armchair. What a laugh, thanks Getty!
And don’t miss the concerned daughter clearly arranged to be visible watching from the doorway.
Getty are the ultimate in fake pictures. They are carefully staged to capture the essence of whatever far-Left agenda topic they are trying to capture. They have no morales or scruples about how low they will stoop. It’s exactly the same as fake news. And they are mannah from heaven for the BBC as the accountability buck for honesty is once again passed to someone else – exactly as they do with Twatter.
I lost any respect for Getty the instant I saw their mission statement used a capital B for ‘Black’ everywhere.
A very worthy cheek on the BBC arse.
I don’t know what is wrong about stats.
The pictures thing is sloppy
Strangely they previously used the same image, but slightly more realistic with the needle nearly going into the arm
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-62792809
However there is actually a proper injection pic available.

Stew, what is wrong with the stats? The BBC has changed the presentation. It makes meaningful comparison difficult if not impossible. You must know that.
Up2snuff,
“The BBC has changed the presentation. It makes meaningful comparison difficult if not impossible. You must know that.”
Free Covid testing for the public ended on 1 April. Regular asymptomatic testing stopped four weeks ago. Thats why the presentation has changed – You must know that?
Hi Maxincony,
What do you think of all the useless eaters attending the Labour Party Conference? Should we include The News Quiz panellists and the other unfunny wasters who are on BBC so called comedies in the People Who Are A Waste Of Space category? Bigoted aren’t they ?
MaxiC. earlier you called someone a bigot. Does it really matter what they are ? does it make you feel better for calling someone a bigot or racist ?
If I was called names I would shrug my shoulders tbh, as its all a bit “playground”, and if my views differed from yours then tough – your problem not mine. Sometimes there are occasions when the term realist is substituted for racist because the name callers can’t accept the truth.
BRISSLES,
“earlier you called someone a bigot. Does it really matter what they are ?”
Does it really matter?
“Anyone who has spent time in any of these countries knows they lie more easily than they tell the truth…”
.
1911 on the photograph?
Well thats what happens if you wear a Rolex in Hackney
Jesus H Christ maxi – WTF has that picture got to do with a Pakistani man trying to claim money from the British taxpayer through lies ?.
You are one weird troll. I suspect that’s one of your ‘special’ pictures and you posted it by mistake while you are high on whatever you take to stop your anxiety in the low swing.
I would normally feel sorry for someone like you but I can’t because you are such an unpleasant, spiteful hypocrite. Which of course is why you are a bottom-feeding troll.
maxincony
You ask so many questions but never answer any .
You are just a BBC Troll.
Thinking aloud. The Labour Party has always depended on the Conservatives making f-ups to take any sort of power as they have no electoral credit with their own agenda.
So they adopt the mantle of saviours of the population when the nasty Tories screw up.
This is a sort of negative acceptance, in other words the lesser of two evils.
It has bedevilled the Labour Party for decades. They really need to get a new PR agency who will provide them with a positive message but I can’t see this happening because they keep going to activist angry stupid supporters for their message. Most people are suspicious about this sort of meddling they just want a just and happy life.
Basically Joe public does not want to be told what to do by a bunch of bitter acedemics, students or rich faux-Marxist twats.
digg
Time for a populist party independent of both to launch itself, Come on Nigel, UKIP, Reclaim get your act together,
Truss has agreed to attend the first meeting of Macron’s suggested European Political Community with suggestions that it is to the called a political forum
Brexit to be reversed, does she want us back in?
Already suggested that London holds the next meeting.
G.W.F.
Tories – End of .
When the leadership race started, I read that it would be rigged to put Remainer Truss against Sunak in the final to guarantee Truss would win.
People who turn their coat as quickly as Truss and Javid simply cannot be trusted not to do it again when it suits them. Now Truss is not sucking up to Boris for her advancement, she is sucking up to the Remainer establishment. This is a very bad sign of what they are telling her to do.
This is what happens when a party in a democracy betrays the people who elected it. It falls apart. Now we might have to endure a few years under Labour to teach the British public a lesson once again.
It’s no conincidence that since the Leftists gained so much power through news and social-media, the world has gradually fallen apart and is now in a far, far worse state than every before in my lifetime. They have not only divided the world, they have also divided the people in the countries they infest. They will destroy it if they are not stopped.
It is likely they will need to bring back Sopes for an exclusive Veep interview. The only one qualified.
What made the bbc grate.
