    Can’t believe what I just heard on the BBC’s Ten O’clock News. On the report about the incident in Dover, the reporter couldn’t resist saying “the migrants, many of whom are fleeing from war”. As far as I’m aware, all of the European countries they just travelled through to get to Dover are not “at war”.

      James,

      Personally, I find the bleat that throughout the country, hoteliers are feeling the pinches on the way to bankruptcy, distasteful. They are now all on Government grants, compliments of the migrants, “……..many of whom are……….”.

      In reply to James above. Actually there could well be a war in France. For over two years there were weekly riots with French police shooting Gilet Jaune supporters and on the BBC – zilch!

        As far as I’m aware where I live in France the only gunshots we’ve heard are the local hunters every Wednesday and Saturday, unlike many large cities in the U.K. London and Manchester to name but 2 where it seems to be a daily occurrence. Paris is going the way of London with stabbings increasing though. Not reported on the Beeb as they want people to believe it only occurs in racist Britain Luckily we’re in the south near Spain.

    Looks like the King will be holding his own climate conference. Clearly an attempt to defy the Government and continue with his political aspirations.
    Time to tell him to stick to his new job – waiving at people and opening places. If he wants a political life he can always abdicate and stand for Parliament as Wedgie Benn did with his inherited position.
    We are going to see more of this King meddling in politics.

      Yesterday, I received my first one for over six months. It had a pretty coloured picture on it and instead of threatening me with dire repercusions it was of the “We’re Here to Help You” variety. Unfortunately it got mixed in with my fire kindling and was incinerated. What a shame, I look forward to my next one, maybe it will contain a free gift.

    Suella Braverman email could throw fresh doubt over security breach claims
    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-63444573

    I see the BBC want rid of Suella Braverman now. They are running headlines against her day after day just have they have been doing for months now at the conservatives for one reason after another.

    What is the horrendeous sin she has done which warrants todays very lengthy article ?.

    ‘Ms Braverman had sent the document to her own Gmail address, before sending it on. Ministers are not permitted to send government documents to personal accounts, or to share further.’

    ‘She has said she reported the mistake “rapidly” to officials.’

    ‘But the BBC understands it took hours for her to respond.’.
    It was 4 hours actually – but ‘hours’ is deliberate BBC speak to make it seem worse.

    And that’s it.

    What kind of complete nonsense is this ?. Is that a good enough reason to be hounded out of office ?. It’s just ridiculous – it’s even more trivial than ‘partygate’.

    The BBC are absolutely determined to destroy this country so it can ‘rise again’ under a liberal-left government. And if the people choose someone else, they will destroy it again.

    The BBC are absolutely out of control – and nobody is stopping them. This is the world of the Left : everything is acceptable because they think the ends justify the means. Just as Hitler, Pol-Pot, Stalin etc etc did before them.

      The BBC aka The Tavistock Institute need the Online Harms Bill passed asap so they can start locking up people who question their lies. It’s as simple as that. The Politburo are effectively declaring themselves the source of truth and if you disagree with them you will be sent down. This is the stark reality facing the British. They either lie down and accept it, or they start doing something about it. If you work for the Government quit tomorrow. If you serve anyone in Government in your business refuse them service. The only solution to this mess is not to comply.

    “Family-of-eight forced to move out their home are living in TWO houses separated by a dual carriageway after council failed to find property big enough to squeeze them all in

    Ms Fenner has said her cramped and noisy accommodation has been called a prison by one of her boys.

    The family were kicked out of their old home when the arrived back from Egypt.

      The article says they are being housed in 2 separate “1 bedroom homes”
      Wrongly implying they have been given 2 houses.
      Seems to me they are in a council hostel and cos they wouldn’t accept 2 attic rooms, they have 1 in the main hostel
      and another room in the hostel annex across the road.

    Just been reading about the trolling of twitter using offensive slurs such as the N word etc and noticed just how coy all of the Leftist media are being about who is behind it – particularly The Guardian. It’s one of those ‘basic facts only’ type stories we see on the BBC when they don’t want us to know the truth. Some are actually blaming the right for doing it without any evidence.

    But it only takes a moment to realise who is the most likely to be doing it. Those who violently oppose Musk’s takeover and wish to shock everybody with disgusting tweets they claim Musk will allow. Which of course is the Lefties themselves.

    Pretty much exactly the same as maxi does here : he’s the only person I’ve seen post foul racist language – and he’s done it more than once.

    What low-life, ethically-barren, stupendous hypocrites these scumbags really are.

    Like many people, I’ve been glibly using the term, “a Third World Country” to refer to the UK and where it is finally arriving. Seems I am wrong to use that expression as its definition measures is no longer used. Shame though because it accurately reflects most peoples mental picture what constitutes a “Third World” country: lack of energy/money/health service/legal system/law and order and proper Governance. Snotty nosed hungry pot-bellied crying kids with random murder/violence on the streets. You get the picture.

    So, if “Third World” is not longer in vogue to describe most of the features of the UK in 2022, how can we describe the immigrants homeland now?

      Why is it wrong to refer to a third world country like the UK as a ‘third world country ‘ ? If it culturally enriched by diverse new arrivals of a third world heritage – then it becomes a third world country .
      As I write the pixie Evette Cooper has been given a nice unchallenged interview by our Justin on Today . Justin didn’t ask what the red Labour Party would do with invaders differently to the current regime – but didn’t expect it ….

      As for the channel – nothing will be done – no one has the courage to stop them . Me ? I’d use the Australian method – and if that didn’t work I’d start taking them straight back to France … mid channel …

              I will retain my own view about what is and what isn’t ‘third world ‘. I know it when I see it – and I see it – very much in Londonistan – which is rapidly going down the toilet .

          Common usage always trumps original definition.
          So people use it to mean a country that is backward and poor.

          However dictionaries attribute the term to a French anthropogist in 1952
          He made the term from the pre-Revolutionary France terms
          where the Third Estate referred to the peasants who had too little property or political power to be included in the First Estate (the nobility) or the Second Estate (the clergy).”
          And said some countries are like the peasant class.
          He said he didn’t write that one could assimilate the capitalist world to the nobility and the communist world to the clergy .. but later did say that jokingly sometimes.

    One has to suspect that reactions to BBC reporters like this are becoming a lot more commonplace.

    An outbreak of Kari Lake style BBC interviews in the UK would be fun.

    While there are crazies out there – the BBC will suborn the natural flow + maliciously edit stuff to suit their own agenda – they’re part of the problem.

      Brees first replied to comments beneath her tweet, then decided to delete it.
      Was there a video in it ? What did she say ?
      She deletes far to many tweets.

      Her point seems sound to me
      – The media are “2+2=5 thinkers” who give a false picture of the world
      – The Sceptics pushback
      but Truthers are “2+2=8 thinkers” who give a false picture of the world
      Media often try to lump sceptics and Truthers together.
      – Brees says when the BBC does progs about Truthers that actually fuels the Truthers
      .. cos they can say the establishment are bullying them.
      Meanwhile the BBC smears sceptics as it lumps them in with Truthers.

      Rich Hall does have a page about the Panorama expose on him
      and he does appear to show “2+2=8″ thinking”

        Richard Hall makes some excellent points. It is highly likely the Manchester Arena bombing was a false flag. No one died. They need to get the Online Harms Bill through so they can start locking up people who question their lies. They killed people in the 7/7 bombings and they realised too many people were being to understand just who the real enemy is. So they softened their approach. This is 5 dimensional warfare and you need to adjust your thinking accordingly if you want to survive what is coming.

      Central government shoving costs onto LAs and then not compensating them via the funding mechanisms…

      If the extra burden is real – then the LAs are doing themselves no favours by not coupling this to their administrative resistance.

        We have UKIP, The Reform Party, Reclaim and The Heritage Party. I like all of them and (as far as I can see) there’s barely a fag paper between the lot of them. They’re all sensible, sane and reflect, pretty much, of what most people in this country want a political party to achieve. But there’s so bleedin’ many of them.

        I know, for certain, come the next general election, that I won’t be voting for any of the “big three”. I believe Reform will be standing in my constituency, so they’ll almost certainly get my vote. But we have so many tiddly parties, all sitting on a pinhead, it just splits the alternative vote.

        They should amalgamate and form The Reform/Reclaim/UKIP/Heritage Alliance.

    Horror petrol bomb attack on migrant centre. ‘Laughing’ attacker hurls three incendiary devices at busy Dover facility before killing himself – screams the fretful Daily Mail – so many questions arise from that somewhat suspiciously loaded concoction of a headline.

    One minor point being the odd inclusion of the word ‘busy’ – if you’ve taken any interest whatsoever in the now couple of years long illegal migrant Channel crossings saga, you’ll recognise that such facilities our authorities have put in place to further facilitate the conveyor belt arrivals of so-called migrants are constantly ‘busy’

    As for horror petrol bomb and three incendiary devices – we’ll assume horror is just a bit of a seasonal flourish, it being almost Halloween and all. One doubts Vyacheslav Mikhaylovich Molotov would have been over-impressed with the more detailed description: plastic container attached to burning fireworks – one assumes that recipe makes hardly even an addendum in the legendary Anarchist Cook Book. One refers back to the latter of Frank Carson’s catchlines.

    If you ignite the journalistic blue touchpaper with such hyperbole, what do you do when some proper terrorist with a proper bomb attacks kids in that northern city from which Morrissey and The Smiths are famous sons?

    I was initially heartened to see on the BBC webshite that ‘Ministers are under pressure as migrant crisis worsens’. Good grief I thought, are the BBC actually acknowledging that there are too many of the bastards coming in? Silly me, of course not, it’s the usual hand wringers worried about the conditions that the poor dears are being kept in. Typical BBC emphasis on what’s best for the invaders rather than the hated British.

    Migrant phone-in on R5 just now —

    Some bloke doing soccer training and all-round Contributor-to-Society® tells some gritty stories about how the military were burning down houses in the Sudan where he came from. Charity woman Sonia (Freedom from Torture) thinks ‘we need to ask what sort of country we are’ and that Braverman should seriously consider her position or at least tone down the hateful, far-far-right rhetoric. Nothing on her life story, though her accent revealed a distinct Ozzie twang. Another bloke — a man of Indian descent (adopted by white people) — critical of Priti’s ‘pull up the drawbridge’ policy for those who came after her.

    The one dissenting voice is Devon, a gentleman a bit fed up. It turns out one of Devon’s mates was kicked out of the UK after his visa ran out, so there’s a bit of a personal grudge. Devon, of course, has a strong accent and comes from Jamaica.

    So there it is, the migrant debate framed by the globalist BBC without reference to those born in this country. Bubble? What bubble?

    IMHO, the politicians haven’t woken up yet to the fact that the French Don’t Want them and are quite happy to dump them on us . In the meantime we are paying for the Tory Government’s mess.

    Caught some interview with Angela Rayner on R4 at the weekend — apparently her mum was buying dog food for dinner because she couldn’t read or write, and an anecdote about Ange giving her friend her car during lockdown because she had six kids and was struggling to manage. (Since then she’s had another).

    It was Pythonesque… I was fully expecting to hear about her about her living in a shoebox on road eating hot gravel.

    Implication of course was how out of touch a tory toff PM is when it comes to real people with real problems. Which is a fair point but I’ve never been so despairing when looking at the binary choice facing voters these days.

          The hateful Mark Easton, on Radio 4’s 6 p.m. news, had to situate the cross-Channel illegal immigration invasion within a wider context, as lefty “caring” types often do. His summary stressed people fleeing war, famine and persecution … no mention of criminal gangs, Albanian and other economic migrants for whom the UK is a soft touch. Typical of the ceaseless BBC misdirection on this issue, always making it about the “vulnerable” to whom our obligations are of course endless, rather than the open law-breaking and subsequent moral blackmail of us in the UK to keep paying for it all.

          If any of the illegals at Manston or anywhere else have health or other problems, it is in spite of what we’ve done for them, not because of it. They are responsible for their own condition as they chose to come here illegally and spent lots of money doing so, giving the lie to any rubbish about poverty.

          The treacherous lying BBC makes me sick: how can it have sunk so low?

    The trick, I think is, to say things in such an assured way that nobody will say “Hang on a mo….”. On the bbc at the moment, an article from Dover discussing interviews with local indigenous folk. The writer says that its 50/50, some saying “we should help these people”, others “Some say words I wouldn’t put out on the media”.
    Firstly pal, it’s your job to report the news, not just the bits that I’m entitled to hear. Whether its 50/50 or 90/10, report the events, truthfully and in full. If you had to clean up the language (For example, if you interviewed me) fair enough, but your role is not one of censor.
    It’s the first time I’d noticed this ploy of taking a stance and speaking as if its the only position a sane person would take. Once you see a little bias, it gets easier and easier to spot. Or maybe it’s more plentiful now.

    It will be interesting to see how the BBC and the rest of the equally spineless MSM report on the petrol bomb attacker in Dover.

    Will they quickly ascertain that he had “drug issues”?

    Will it be confirmed that he was a “lone wolf”?

    Are they going to investigate his “psychiatric problems”?

    Will we find that the story gets buried under an avalanche of other news items?

    Or…will they very quickly be pointing the finger at “the far right” and anyone else that dares query our non existent border force?

    There has to be a system to handle abuse, but supposed journalists picking and chasing what suits propaganda and blocking any comments back is farcical.

    Any blocking or restricting is using twitter as a private rare platform for mates and pigtail misinformation tool to large numbers of public.
