Junaid Hafeez, a university lecturer in Pakistan, had been imprisoned for six years when he was sentenced to death in December 2019. The charge: blasphemy, specifically insulting Prophet Muhammad on Facebook.

You can almost smell the tyre smoke from the swerve
Let me very clear – Corbyn is an anti-semite.
The BBC radio Humberside news team continue to work from a lefty student common room.
“Twitter has a new owner, Elon Musk. .. SOME are worried he will let people back on who were BANNED for ..hate speech or spreading misinformation”
Who are this mysterious “some” ..the BBC are quoting ?
Why not say
“SOME are really hoping he will let people back on who were maliciously BANNED for ..” ?
The news continued
“The Labour leader Keir Starmer has joined those criticising Rishi Sunak for deciding not to attend the COP climate summit in Egypt “
“who were BANNED for ..hate speech or spreading misinformation”
… BBC?
BBC reports that the OBR is advising that the finances are going to be worse than it previously predicted – so more savings need be made – suggestions

If you’re one of those people… that was before we all got mixed up in blooper shows edition
UN finds there is ‘no credible way’ to keep to the 1.5C climate target – is a headline clipping from the Guardian’s alarmist frontpage this morning.
Do you still recall those seemingly far off days of yore when the UN used to primarily concern itself with world peace? When the initialism that waves that pale blue flag emblazened with the hopeful image of our globe between olive branches whenever and wherever it noticed an outbreak of warfare it would inevitably and reliably call for peace talks, intervene as arbiter and provide blue beret peacekeepers?
So what happened to the UN?
Exotic-sounding names of UN secretary generals were once constantly on the lips of our nightly newscasters promoting them to became figures of almost household parlance:- U Thant; Kurt Waldheim; Boutros Boutros-Ghali; Kofi Annan; Ban Ki-moon…
Can you name the present incumbent?
The UN Covid guy Tedros is all too familiar to us, as was the recent UN climate change guy Pachauri. Not so much any UN peace guys.
The formerly patriotic Times delivers a timely clue care of the Russian leader when he speaks of: The West’s “undivided dominance over world affairs”… – Putin refers of course to the US State Department, not so much Europe or the UK. Blimey, you don’t think we make important global decisions do you?
Of course Putin goes on to threaten and predict this dominance is coming to an end – and he wills it, whereas the US wishes to maintain it – which rather explains both the outbreak and the prolonging of our costly proxy war. The Times headline is hardly fake news: Putin mocks Liz Truss and tells of ‘dangerous’ decade ahead
US to supply Nato with tactical nuclear bombs (Telegraph)
Do you remember those not so long ago days when the lefty women of Greenham Common, never out of the news, would have endlessly protested such atomic warmongering? Now the US weapons simply cruise across the Atlantic, no questions asked.
You’ll recall such different times, if – as the former catchphrase of Denis Norden host of ITV nostalgia show Look’s Familiar (1970-87) used to say: “If you’re one of those people…” – that was before he got mixed up in endless repeat blooper shows.
We dwell on the Gruan frontpage as an exercise par excellence in contemporary hot-button agenda collage… No way back – is the stark absolutist pronouncement – you could frame that cover page and hang it in the National Gallery in pride of place, safe and secure in the knowledge Stop Oil activists, liberal media, collaborative gallery bosses and even government nudge units, alike would very likely leave it alone.
On the day that Shell reports another round of bumper profits, and UK temporatures hit 20C in October (Guardian) – don’t knock it, I’m saving the planet and myself cash by keeping the central heating turned off. Georges Seurat was the great pointilist artist but the Guardian is joining quite some dubious dots there to make a point or two.
It was comic Paul Whitehouse as the gentleman in the red jumper in that spoof sketch of BBC’s Question Time who rambled on about: “If the bankers the bonuses the bankers the bonuses it’s disgusting… and if the Tories were serious, they’d tax the bankers the bonuses the bankers the bonuses 90%” and then there was Harry Enfield as Dimbleby: “That’s an original comment, I’m being sarcastic of course”
The NHS is on it’s knees – and Tories won’t fix it – by Gaby Hinsliff (Guardian) – and having given that basic diagnosis what would one suggest as palliative? Let us guess… more funding, more staff, staff payrises?
The Guardian target demographic is Karen who happens to work as an NHS administrator. The Left-leaning ‘i’ likewise pitches to Karen and her ilk – you’ve heard of long-covid, how about: Health. Women face menopause that lasts decades
The Tories too have a Karen in mind with the appointment of their dishy Rishi. The PR, to a point, seems to have worked: Rishi Sunak beats Keir Starmer on economy and taxes, with many voters believing he would make a better PM, according to poll for ‘i’ – well, if generosity is the measure – and Karen thinks it is… he has pissed more tax payer cash up the wall than any other chancellor in history. Starmer just talks profligate.
Meanwhile, the Guardian properly panders to Karen with a taste of her favourite soft lady porn: Bill Nighy interview

And our politicians rush to buy the book and virtue signal others to buy it while our economy , industry and energy security is destroyed.

Verhostadt says “that man over there is going to hinder accountability.
Verhostadt himself has no accountability.
Projection is a libmob characteristic.
The key, argues Verhofstadt, is to reform the European Union along the lines of America’s federal government: a United States of Europe strong enough to stand with the United States of America in making a better, safer world.
A visionary book from one of today’s luminaries of European leadership, Europe’s Last Chance is a clarion call to save the European Union, one of the world’s greatest chances for peace and prosperity.

The left understands the power of social media much better than the right.
Musk understands it better than both, plus branding, personal and otherwise.
I hope he succeeds as I donât know his politics, and he seems to grasp that free speech is not âa little bit pregnantâ corruption as espoused by the MSM.
With luck all the flouncers will flounce, find themselves in their very small bubble, and come crawling back. They need debating in public forum.
On that note, public broadcast staff should not be allowed to block others to try and skew things.
Trump was banned from blocking people on Twitter
on the premise that he serves all
so should not be allowed to be in a bubble by excluding those who criticised him.
But BBC staff often do block people so build a bubble.
If they are having cosy threads with activists
and you dare to point out faults sith the activists tweets, the BBC staff. block you, and nkt tge activist
So keeping themselves in a bubble with the activists and free from criticism
block you, and not the activist

Today programme had an article about students in Durham queuing outside letting agents all night as there is a shortage of rental accommodation for them .
Thatâs what you get when you increase the population for no good reason.
.. queuing outside buckingham palace?
Buckingham Palace has 775 rooms. These include 19 State rooms, 52 Royal and guest bedrooms, 188 staff bedrooms, 92 offices and 78 bathrooms. In measurements, the building is 108 metres long across the front, 120 metres deep (including the central quadrangle) and 24 metres high.
I expect the rooms have been allocated to all those future doctors, nurses/healthcare workers and scientists arriving into this country by dinghyđ
Durham students like Ox/Camb only have 8 week terms
They’ll be going home for Christmas in a few weeks.
That isn’t the reason. The government has pushed the asylum seekers it is failing to effectively deal with as far away from London as it can, in seeming Socialist methodology practiced by the US Democrats who are appalled when those people are foisted on them and cry real tears into the latte whilst making up false reasons why it’s everyone elses fault and how everyone is racist because their perfect world isn’t perfect any more and the fantasy bubble has been pricked.
The government claims it practices good policy by placing people in rented accomodation where it’s cheapest without a thought for the effects it might have on the residents of those towns & cities, this is just a symptom of that.

Rishi Sunak CAUGHT Lying About Fracking On Live TV
It as if there is a bigger force that says to remain in power a PM must spout libmob values
like anti-fracking.
Liz Truss dared not to ..and out she went.
The stink coming from those 100 “Conservative” MPs in the Conservative Environment Network be exceeding strong…
There are a lot of the normal racebaity BLUE TICK accounts, that are tweeting stuff like
“Sunak is brown but he doesn’t serve brown people like you”
… that’s saying that Sunak is “the wrong kind of Brown”
You see them writing intellectual spiels that basically call Sunak a coconut.
Quote : Calling someone a “coconut” or anything along those lines is racist and derogatory.
Why? You’re implying they are controlled by white people.
And that applies whatever your own skin colour is
The lefts premise is that they own BAME
and so when the Conservatives as they do have put more BAME people in positions of power than Labour did, all those people are not true BAME.
Rishi Sunak doesn’t represent Brown lefties? That’s fine. He’s not trying to, he’s a Conservative.
======
It’s not worth bothering with non-blue tick accounts cos controversial comments from them may well be just sh!t stirring
eg people can create accounts that pretend to be lefty , then tweet controversial things that make lefties look like baddies.
But Charlotte Edwardes the Times journo, who is Robert Peston’s partner
and has a long standing vendetta against against Boris cos she says he squeezed her thigh whilst sitting next to her at dinner
has a massive Twitter thread about random reader comments in Spectator comments that say “I can’t stand the idea if an Indian PM” etc.
She basically uses that to construct an argument that many Tory supporters are simple racists.

Proscribed terrorist groups or organisations
Turkiye Halk Kurtulus Partisi-Cephesi (THKP-C) is also known as the Peoplesâ Liberation Party/Front of Turkey, THKP-C Acilciler and the Hasty Ones – Proscribed June 2014 THKP-C is a left-wing organisation formed in 1994. The group grew out of the Turkish extreme left Revolutionary Youth Movements which formed in the 1960s and 70s.
Sipah-e Sahaba Pakistan (SSP) (Aka Millat-e Islami Pakistan (MIP) – SSP was renamed MIP in April 2003 but is still referred to as SSP) and splinter group Lashkar-e Jhangvi (LeJ) – Proscribed March 2001
Harakat al-Muqawamah al-Islamiyyah (Hamas) â Proscription extended November 2021
Hamas is a militant Islamist movement that was established in 1987, following the first Palestinian intifada. Its ideology is related to that of the Muslim Brotherhood combined with Palestinian nationalism. Its main aims are to liberate Palestine from Israeli occupation, the establishment of an Islamic state under Sharia law and the destruction of Israel (although Hamas no longer demands the destruction of Israel in its Covenant). The group operates in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories. Hamas formally established Hamas IDQ in 1992. Hamas IDQ was proscribed by the UK in March 2001. At the time it was HM governmentâs assessment that there was a sufficient distinction between the so called political and military wings of Hamas, such that they should be treated as different organisations, and that only the military wing was concerned in terrorism. The government now assess that the approach of distinguishing between the various parts of Hamas is artificial. Hamas is a complex but single terrorist organisation.

The BBC put out a whole hour of âcomedy â last night featuring Harold Enfield and his crew . I used to find him funny – maybe 20 plus years ago .
But although it was skilfully put together is was as funny as sick . The committee which approved it must have ensured any real version of the BBC was edited out .
Spoiler alert – although I never saw it to the end – I think the BBC was sold to sky – so it was a happy ending âŠ.

The plot against GB News: âWe were cancelled before we launchedâ
The ‘free speech’ channel is growing its audience and star power, yet a sinister boycott is deterring advertisers. Now the fight back begins

The campaigners go under the title of Stop Funding Hate (SFH) and their original target was the Daily Mail. But the Mail is a tough, well-established operation, with a readership advertisers feel they need to reach, so the campaign has had only limited success. GB News, still in its infancy, is perhaps an easier target. The justification, such as it is, is laid out on SFHâs website:
âSince its launch, GB News has been criticised for spreading problematic messages about climate change and Covid-19 and demonising trans people at every opportunity. So over the past year, Stop Funding Hate volunteers have been working to identify the GB News advertisers. Weâre now seeing very few high profile brands appearing on the channel.â

BERLIN (AP) â Germanyâs highest court said Thursday that it has dismissed a television comedianâs complaint against rulings that prohibited him from repeating parts of a crude poem he wrote about Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
The legal battle goes back to 2016, when comic Jan Boehmermann recited the poem on public television to illustrate something he said wouldnât be allowed even in democratic Germany. The poem described Erdogan as âstupid, cowardly and uptightâ before descending into sexual references.
Then Chancellor Angela Merkel granted a Turkish request to allow possible prosecution for insulting a foreign head of state. A Hamburg court issued an injunction ordering Boehmermann not to repeat most of the poem.
An appeals court upheld that decision, rejecting both Boehmermannâs appeal and a bid by Erdoganâs lawyers to have the ban extended to the whole poem.

The full Long DT article about free speech and war against gbnews
For the record – im getting fedup with the number of Adverts on GBNews so thats a good sign
From Robin Aitkin in the DT starts
There are many fronts in the war on free speech but one of the most insidious is being fought out in the basement of a building in Paddington Basin, west London. It is there that GB News has its headquarters and, though the casual visitor wouldnât know it, a fierce battle is being waged to secure the future of the fledgling broadcaster. Because, although the increasingly professional station is finding its feet and a growing audience, a sinister Left-wing outfit which aims to starve it of advertising revenue is maintaining a relentless campaign. And it seems that many in the advertising industry are its willing accomplices.
The campaigners go under the title of Stop Funding Hate (SFH) and their original target was the Daily Mail. But the Mail is a tough, well-established operation, with a readership advertisers feel they need to reach, so the campaign has had only limited success. GB News, still in its infancy, is perhaps an easier target. The justification, such as it is, is laid out on SFHâs website:
âSince its launch, GB News has been criticised for spreading problematic messages about climate change and Covid-19 and demonising trans people at every opportunity. So over the past year, Stop Funding Hate volunteers have been working to identify the GB News advertisers. Weâre now seeing very few high profile brands appearing on the channel.â
For GB News chief executive Angelos Frangopoulos, countering the threat from Stop Funding Hate (SFH) has been a constant worry since the station was founded: âWe were cancelled before we launched,â he tells me. âThe jungle drums were beating on social media before we even got goingâ. And he admits that this campaign was effective: âStop Funding Hate played a really central role in positioning us as a âhateâ outfit. But their opposition is just prejudice. We are not hateful; we are here to disrupt a market which was static for 34 years.â
The market heâs talking about is television news, and the last entrant â back in 1988 â was Sky News, then seen as a disruptor of the cosy duopoly of BBC and ITN. But the tone of Skyâs output is now indistinguishable from the rest of the mainstream media; GB News, by contrast, has set itself the task of standing outside the establishment by giving a platform to voices the other broadcasters shun. Frangopoulos, Australian by birth but now applying for British citizenship, maintains that doesnât mean the content is âhatefulâ; if it was, he says, the company would be in trouble with Ofcom, the regulator which oversees all UK broadcasters, and which would withdraw its licence if it broke the rules on âhate speechâ .
Being the target of SFH, Frangopoulos says, has bred in the staff a certain bloody-minded esprit de corps; they have become brothers and sisters in adversity. He tells me of a presenter suddenly disinvited to dinner parties on account of her employer. âItâs hurtful for people,â he says, âbut we get on with it.â The more worrying aspect for him is the effect of the campaign on company revenue.
In audience terms GB News is doing well. Its evening line-up of Nigel Farage, Mark Steyn and Dan Wootton is regularly out-performing, by a factor of three or four, the competition in the form of Rupert Murdochâs Talk TV (TTV) which offers Jeremy Kyle, Piers Morgan and Tom Newton Dunn. Frustratingly for Frangopoulos, TTV seems to get more advertising despite its disappointing audience figures; he says heâs not envious and notes that with the Murdoch empire behind it TTV has advantages: âWeâre just a small business in Paddington with the cheapest rent we can findâŠ. If youâre part of a big media group you have more levers to pull.â
One bright spot is the strong performance from GBNâs radio operation which launched back in January. It is a simulcast of what you can see on the screen but it has shown remarkable growth. This week RAJAR released its latest quarterly figures showing GBNâs weekly reach (that is the number of individuals who have at some point during the week listened) has climbed steeply to 415,000. Thatâs a jump of 50 per cent in 11 weeks â an astonishing rate of audience growth. RAJARâs figures show GBN to be the only news station increasing its weekly audience and to be proving particularly popular with young adults.
Obviously, Frangopoulos is delighted. âThese figures prove that GB News really is the âPeopleâs Channelâ,â he says. âThis is organic growth, spread principally by word of mouth, and itâs escalating as more people discover our authenticity and warmth. It took TalkRADIO more than three years to reach the same audience that weâve achieved in just nine months.â
But so far this audience success hasnât translated into advertising revenue. âWe are onto something,â Frangopoulos asserts. âThis thing is only 15 months old but weâre already bigger in audience terms than Sky. But how we translate that into commercial success is the great conundrumâ.
The problem, it seems, is the attitude of the media planners who work for the advertisers and who act as the interface between the broadcasters and the brands. So far they donât seem to have been won over by GB Newsâs ability to reach a new audience. Frangopoulos himself is very diplomatic about the admen: âEveryone is very polite,â he says. But a clue to what is going on was provided by one James Wilde, managing partner at Wavemaker UK, the global media agency. Last year, when news that the advertising boycott of GBN was beginning to bite, Wilde wrote in the advertising industry magazine Campaign:
From the little we know so far, GB news is the following things; pro-Brexit, anti-metropolitan elite, and non-London-centric. Positions that are all the antithesis of the average media agency staffer. And therefore, we see media planners encouraging brands to boycott the channel, when itâs still less than a few months old… The primary driver behind agencies and brands boycotting the channel is that they simply donât like what it broadcasts and the audience it represents.â
In other words Stop Funding Hate has tapped into the prejudices of the sort of folk who make up the workforce in the average advertising agency. As in certain parts of the media itself, as in academia, the higher reaches of the civil service, as in every influential institution in the country it seems, a groupthink prevails dictating a certain set of âprogressiveâ attitudes. Consider, for instance, the wording from SFHâs website: âGB News has been criticised for spreading problematic messagesâ. Where is this criticism coming from and in what way and to whom are the messages âproblematicâ? Stop Funding Hate didnât respond to my request for further explanation and my strong suspicion is that what SFH really object to is any debate at all on certain topics.
I have watched a fair bit of GB Newsâ output and Iâd say itâs very clear that what it aims for is frank debate about often controversial issues. Angelos Frangopoulos tells me that âfree speech is one of the pillars of what we are aboutâ but to a certain type of Left-wing progressive âfree-speechâ is not a cherished liberty but a threat because it challenges dogmas. If you take a different view SFH would much prefer it if you were âno-platformedâ.
Meanwhile GB News is taking evasive action. In what Frangopoulos says is a âtacticalâ move, the channel has appointed a new âhead of commercialâ who will be based in Manchester, not London. From there she will talk to ad agencies about reaching the GBN audience â conversations that take on a different hue once removed from the metropolitan bubble of London. And the channel is also strengthening its on-screen offer. The news that John Cleese will soon be presenting a show demonstrates its ability to pull in big names. The comedian, who once dubbed GBN âKGB newsâ was won over after meeting Frangopoulos for dinner: âPeople go, âJohn Cleese on GB News? Really? How can you possibly do that?â But it was just a question of picking up the phone. Weâre very excited about having John here.â
Other big names have also been signed-up, among them Michael Portillo and Camilla Tominey, associate editor of The Daily Telegraph (who will be used as a political presenter). Whereas in the beginning GBN was sometimes rebuffed when it approached talent, these days the talent usually comes knocking. Increasingly GBN looks like a good place to make a name for yourself.
But none of this will amount to much if advertisers continue to be frightened off by the SFH bullies. So far, GB News has been funded, to the tune of ÂŁ120 million, by two main backers, Legatum Ventures and Sir Paul Marshall (who also bankrolls the UnHerd website) but one day theyâll be looking for a return on investment: âClearly there is a finite resource,â Frangopoulos says. âBut we now have an audience and thatâs a powerful thing. What I always tell people is that the audience will set us free.âEND

Dear Marianna Spring (BBC wages paid under threat of prosecution),
As Iâve had to look at your BBC news and use other sources to determine that your news is not news but selective editorial opinion Iâd like to request that I have a refund for the last 4 years plus get the BBC free from now on.
Please let me know how I can go about this as I am willing to create a full list of articles that Iâve had to investigate plus time taken for me to check your fact checker whilst realising that the BBC intentionally removes news rather than incorrectly report on it, uses images to sway opinion or misleads with the main titles hoping no one reads the full article.
âOmission is the greatest form of lie.â

Cheers,
