    For those who don’t know the guy on the right is Sam Bankmam-Fried vegan teetotal Socialist Democrat donor, owner of FTX and alleged criminal swindler of $1.6 billion of investors money.

    He will no doubt be exhonourated thanks to the insurance policy he bought from the Democrats via millions of dollars of party donations he made.

    Steve Coogan’s Savile drama has been delayed until 2024
    even though it’s all been recorded.
    9:30pm TalkTV have an item about it
    Kevin O’Sullivan reckons they’ll never air it
    not cos of sensitivity but cos BBC must have known about the abuse.

    Journo when I met Savile he said “Hey Mr Tabloid man you are here to stitch me up, but I have strong lawyers
    .. and sure enough all our stories got legalled out
    and then there were the mob that were afraid of charities getting damaged”

      Why does a university need to specially indoctrinate its students into Climate Crisis ?

      Healthy eating education might be good for humanity as a public good.
      But the way to do that is for a democratic government to get a mandate and implement healthy eating education for all
      When a university pushes an agenda on their students there is no democracy
      It’s akin to saying every students should be indoctrinated into a special religion.

    BBC news, sports section mentioned
    a. England rugby league team losing.
    b. England women’s rugby union team losing
    c. Great Britain women’s tennis team losing.

    But somehow managed to not mention at all…
    d. England rugby union team winning by scoring 50 points against Japan at a packed Twickenham.

    Anyone would think the BBC only want to report negativity so as to keep the country dejected and undermined.
    Oh, wait…..

    In an extremely rare event, the BBC have actually pictured and named someone wanted for stabbing someone else in Londonistan.

    Yes – you’ve guessed it. Here he is:

    The person he murdered was called Gabriel Petrov Stoyanov. Another traditional English name.

    Thousands out protesting on Westminster bridge say many reports today.

    But I can’t find anything about it on the BBC. Why ?.

    ‘Thousands of Albanian nationals have descended on the streets of London to protest against Home Secretary Suella Braverman’s “invasion” comments and the Government’s approach to tackling the migrant Channel crossings.’

    This is the BBC at it’s most dirty and dishonest. Deliberately not reporting something because it doesn’t fit their agenda. I expect it will appear later (when the story dies down) in a small sub-pane and disappear quickly.

    The BBC are so far out of touch with the British people who pay for them now, their behaviour is borderline treason. They are the worst kind of hypocrites.

      It was Bliar who revised the Treason Act to remove the death penalty. Perhaps he understood the Great Reset decades before the public had any inkling. Just to protect him and his fellow WEF travellers.

      I say remove Bliars revision.

      Certainly an interesting choice Tabs. The piano accompaniment seemed entirely suited to some palm court tea ceremony while the trumpet, well enough blown, remained solidly unremarkable.

      The Last Post played sensitively with depth and timing on a bugle takes very real skill, a skill designed to reflect the calls’ solemnity – as some recordings can show, not least the contrapuntal Royal Marine/West Point version.

      Any competent trumpeter can make a reasonable fist of it, background piano or not, but quite why the BBC thought their recording worthy of broadcast is a question only they could answer.

    So, 900 potential thugs and future mug-shots crossed the Channel yesterday. Um it makes the claim that this stretch of water is ‘highly dangerous’ – if it is then I have yet to hear of any li-lo being mowed down by the huge amount of ships that inhabit this busiest shipping lane in the world.

    The megaton oil tankers can take an hour to turn into a different direction, yet these dinghies manage to avoid even the ‘draft’ of these huge ships. Therefore its laughable when the Channel is described as “a highly dangerous journey”. I’ve more chance of getting knocked down in my quiet street (by an electric car) than getting sunk in the Channel.

      As soon as they leave shore, they call the coastguard and we send a boat to pick them up. Meanwhile they throw all their means of identification overboard.

      I still do not understand why they are considered asylum seekers and refugees when they just came from France.

      And why do they all want to come to England ?. Why don’t we change all the ‘perks’ they get so it’s not worth their money and risk ?.

      These questions – and many like it – will not be answered by the hypocrite Lefties who are very good at spending other peoples money.

    Here are the Home Office General Instructions for Irregular or unlawful entry and arrival published on 8 July 2022.
    I would like to know who wrote them. A gaggle of smart-ar$e ‘human rights’ solicitors?
    Pages 5-7 cover Illegal entry or irregular arrival: definitions and legal basis.
    Page 6 shows that the HO are deliberately ‘controlling’ the arrivals and thus conveniently hiding behind the Saving of Life at Sea (SOLAS) International Convention.
    In all cases where a person has been intercepted and rescued under Saving of Life at Sea (SOLAS), and subsequently brought to shore by authorities, they technically do not “enter”, but “arrive”, and must be treated as arriving passengers.
    and
    … those who make landfall on beaches, or any other uncontrolled area of coastline may be arrested for having entered illegally if they seek to escape from or evade immigration officers or constables who seek to lawfully question them about their means of arrival and whether they qualify for entry. Those who cooperate with examination on arrival should not be arrested (unless they need to be transported to a location for processing under the 1971 Act) and may be treated as arriving passengers.
    Worth also noting
    Safeguarding and welfare p. 34 onwards.
    Section 11 of the Immigration Act is here.

      I’ve lived from hand to mouth years ago and still managed to feed my dogs.

Who these days would work 3 jobs a week for a bit of extra cash ? You don’t moan you look around to earn some extra. Simples.

        Yesterday, iEarlGrey on his Youtube channel posted a film covering the last eight years in Ukraine. Truly shocking. To think that our politicians are sponsoring this makes me sick.

        On the BBC coverage of the Cenotaph now, Dimbleby said British soldiers were killed in Northern Ireland during the “so called Troubles” and paid the price for “our failure to resolve conflict.” Which makes it sound like it was all our fault and nothing to do with Irish Republican murder gangs.

        The televised coverage from the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday does a great service to the nation. It shows us our politicians, walking out in sombre suits, bowing their heads, mouthing words and laying wreaths at a memorial to thousands upon thousands of British and Empire men who joined the armed forces on two occasions to prevent Germany from bullying and dominating the whole of Europe and to prevent the invasion of Britain.

        These are the same politicians who not only invite, but sponsor the modern invasion of Britain by foreigners. These are the same politicians who are delighted, thrilled, and overjoyed that Britain is being taken over by foreigners, that London and other major cities are half black, that Muhammad in its various spellings is the most popular boys’ name in England. These are the same politicians who force British people to pay taxes so that these taxes may be spent on inviting, encouraging, transporting, feeding, medicating, and housing foreigners to colonise here and displace British people in their own land.

        And there they all stand, bowing and scraping at the Cenotaph, not meaning a word of it. Sturgeon especially, who has dedicated her whole life to destroying the UK, pretending to honour those who fought to defend the UK. The whole treacherous, slimy crew of them, brazenly acting out this charade before going back to their offices to plot and plan how much farther and faster they can go with depriving the British people of their homeland.

        Yes, the Cenotaph coverage does a great job of showing the UK that there is no depth of deceit and hypocrisy to which these people will not sink.

    Britain’s decline probably started with Charles Dickens in fact. It sentimentalised the poor and needy and turned many of us into liberal fools.

    Interesting to see the BBC et al’s take on Qatar, the World Cup and LGBT and women’s rights.

    The BBC has decided Qatar is a bad place where bad things happen…its society, culture and attitudes are unacceptable and fail to match the progressive and liberal values that the BBC believes are the only ones that are morally correct….however the real cause of the issue is often glossed over….stemming as they do from the state religion….Islam.

    The BBC has decided it is appropriate for it to chastise Qatar and to demand changes to its local laws, customs and beliefs in order to match those preferred by the BBC.

    Apparently this White, Western Supremacy is fine…this neo-colonialism where the natives must bow down to the superior morality and values of the liberal whitey is OK.

    This from the BBC et al who denounce the British Empire and all those who served it as racists, imperialists, colonists and white supremacists who looked down upon the natives as inferiors and imposed our own values upon them.

    Suddenly all that’s OK…the BBC et al can denounce Qatar for its Muslim values whilst trying to pretend they’re not…if they barely mention Islam they hope not to be called out for ‘Islamophobia’…which of course it is.

    When Tommy Robinson argued we should be questioning Islamic values being brought into this country he was hounded and derided as a racist and an Islamophobe…..but now the BBC says the same things but gets away with it.

    Discrimination against LGBT and women is bad in Qatar but we’ll look the other way here? Seems to be the case where the BBC appeases the Muslim lobby in Britain.

    Had to laugh at Hislop pointing the finger at Gary Neville….Neville who loves to lecture us all……but Hislop of course probably has never kicked a football in his life so to see him chiming in on the world cup is amusing…..he of course probably has a house full of Chinese-made products and got to the studio in a vehicle powered by fuel from the Middle East and the production of his Private Eye magazine only made possible by oil and gas from the likes of Qatar…but hey, a bit of sanctimonious and un-self-aware virtue signalling must make him feel good and garner some likes on Twitter.

    But it’s OK to kill Jews….

    ‘A Palestinian mayor whose offer of a bounty for killing stray dogs caused outrage among animal-lovers has backtracked, saying he was joking.

    Hebron Mayor Tayseer Abu Sneineh had said those who killed strays in his city could get 20 shekels ($5.8; 5.7 euros) per dog.

    Stills and videos were then widely shared on social media which apparently showed dogs being killed or abused.

    Another mayor then encouraged people to also shoot dogs in his city.

    Diana Babish, who runs the West Bank’s only dog shelter, in Beit Sahour south of Jerusalem, condemned what she said was “a green light to violate and kill and torture animals”. ‘

        I always have a think on Remembrance Sunday . I’m still out of the country but watched this morning . It didn’t look as good as usual ( just my prejudice ) . Maybe it was because of the current king and his queen …. If you watched you’d have wondered what’s the matter with Gordon brown – could not stay still .
        I look at the line of PMs and see an ID parade of traitors ….
        Then I think about – me – us – we have been without war directly affecting the UK since 1945 ( I exclude the IRA here ) …
        I think that had I been born at a different time I’d have been at war – and maybe not come back . It’s hard to imagine it . I’ve never been to those cemeteries in Europe – it might be too much for me …

        …. But I live in those military history – the costs ….. the loss….

        And Blighty – the decline – self inflicted – in 1914 and 1939 . Each time – and now – there was a collective ‘hoping for the best ‘
        Hoping that the Germans wouldn’t want a fight with us – and if they did it would nt last long . And we are still there – hoping for the best that the Chinese or Russians don’t start something – on purpose or by accident …. And we’d be nowhere ready in any way to defend the UK …..apart from those subs …

        But Blighty – the decline speeds up – the cake gets smaller and more expensive – groups will fight for it – but what when the cake gets really small – really expensive during say – the next 10 – 20 years …..?

        As I listen to Neil Oliver – I know there is no true democracy here – we cannot have done what we want – throwing the invaders back .… we are over run – the State is now a Far Left Alien – with values taxpayers like me don’t recognise any more ….
        An infantile outlook – wokeism – kidultism – the curse of a valueless diversity – in a country which never asked for it ….
        But trouble will come – whether we want it or not – the form in which that comes ? It’s still hard to see – but the anger is growing – poor sods like that character last week at manston is just a sign of the future … maybe the unending invasion – both legal and illegal – will trigger a resistance –

          Look out for her
          Maybe in a future edition of Question Time

          She fired off November 11th tweets saying a family were in a cold damp house afraid to turn the heat on the heating
          The first outer West Midlands place I checked that day started with a warm night and the temperature being around 15C until it dropped hours after her tweets
          Many wouldn’t bother with heating on a day like that, body heat warms the rooms

        … and in two sentences she ‘spews’ infinitely more hatred and venom than Nigel did.

        As usual for the Left, they have no sensible argument so they go after the man. not the ball. Exactly what maxi does.

        What amazes me most about these people is their complete lack of self awareness of how full of hate and spite they are.

    Radio is such an unforgiving medium, it gives away the News Readers’ or a presenters’ true feelings about their script. We had the news this morning that Nevada has gone to the Democrats and the DNC has held on to the Senate because Kamala Harris, the Veep, holds a casting vote. This was described as “A blow to Donald Trump” and you could hear the smile that went with that phrase.

    The BBC really hate former President Trump and it shows.

      And see how the word ‘false’ is always inserted before reference to claims that the 2020 election was fixed. As in ‘agrees with Trump’s false claims’

      One of the reason I can’t listen to BBC news is the bias the reader adds to their voice depending on the story.

      I was listening to an old ‘Wogan’ the other day and Alan Dedicoat read the headline ‘Gary Glitter is coming home’ as if it were a happy, good-news story. His tone quickly changed when he got to the peodophile bit.

    “Jeremy Hunt: Everyone will have to pay more tax”
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-63614124
    Could this “Tax” really be to pay the French ‘protection money’ for guarding our borders?
    I sense this Tory government will shortly ‘cut and run’ once we are bust and a million illegals have landed.
    They are a disgrace to the day’s memorial.
    “We will remember them”.

      Taffman – he actually used the deceitful socialist term

      ‘a little bit more ‘- which is usually part of the red Labour vocabulary . It is linked to ‘those with the broadest shoulders ‘ – another piece of English abuse which signals that working people are going to get shafted in order to give free money ( never’ free ‘) to the feckless – the welfare junkies and those millions and millions on various ‘disability benefits ( how many really deserve ‘support ‘?)

      The budget may not be as brutal as first thought – with the requirement to buy expensive gas reduced by the weather –

      But Blighty is out of money trees – the markets are rightly ready to punish dumb blue labour economics by pushing up interest rates …for the record – if it doesn’t come now – it will within the next year I think

      However – blue labour doesn’t like confrontation – it will cave in to the public sector such as the medical mafia – for no political gain . They’ll always be hated by State employees .

      There is a great big hole in British politics just made for a sensible right wing grouping – it hasn’t happened yet – I’m not sure it will without some extreme economic or political shock …

        Gibralter Farm is on the former RAF Tempsford site. There was a private service there but for family members.

        It is up there with Bletchley Park IMHO.

    Mouse – I can’t see anyone to vote for now – I think the red Labour Party will get a huge majority in a couple of years as the electorate sees the failures of the blue labour lot during the recession ‘ depression …. I listed the consequences here a while ago – just a full on one party state – not different brands of the same thing as we have now …

    I wonder if Hunt really will drop the 45% threshold to £125 k – Corbyn will be in tears ….( I’m a poor 20% type so I care less )

        I’d have thought such a socialist tax move would be welcomed by the BBC . I reckon a large number of people who appear on TV get over £125 000per annum so self interest will also kick it .
        The ‘penalising talent’ song will be sung …. I – of course – favour a much smaller state -ranging from the NHS to education to welfare provision – forcing people into work and t stand on their own feet – an end to dependency culture – with far far lower taxes – privatisation of state assets – theBBC and its parts must be worth a few billion …. And taxing more ‘crown ‘ assets might be worth a look …

          Fed, no, the BBC created a big fuss over the NI increase. And if Jeremy Hunt does indeed reduce the point at which Top Rate Income Tax is paid and even increases the Top Rate to 50% as well, I expect highly paid Beeboids to grumble that the Top Rate doesn’t bring in anything to the Treasury and will keep trying to claim the Tories are taxing people more highly than Labour ever did, and taxes are the highest they have ever been. Which isn’t true, by the way.

    Active word “spike”.
    I can foresee mass vaccinations in the pipeline .
    How many invaders have already disappeared into the community ?
    All thanks to our OXO government’s failure to defend the people of Great Britain and its border….
    Any Tories care to comment ?

      That would surely be one policy Labour and the BBC would approve of since they so like jabbing UK children with the Covid-19 gene therapy.

    Our lovely Fiona Bruce opens antique roadshow with an overwhelming
    line of recent arrivals to this nation behind her….. everyone white is in the second row back….

    End of program signing out sequence, … crowds…. bloody hell… The newcomers have all been replaced by people who look like they originated here..

    How could that be? Do recent arrivals to This Country Have to leave early or maybe they don’t like the publicity?

    Or maybe it’s the deliberate twisting of facts to push an agenda. (My vote!).

    This will end badly!

    10pm Channel4 You Black and RIGHT WING
    A journo investigates people telling black people their place is on the left
    In the first sequence they quote Benjamin Zephaniah saying black people, can’t be Tories
    which is clearly a racist statement.

    Now the interview is with a black activist who says “Don’t have a chip on your shoulder, move on”
    the reporter is really laying into her
    She’s talking more and pointer her finger etc. now screaming at the activist.

    Angry article on Al Jazeera website about BBC using an African reporter in Pakistan
    How dare they ! says Anam Hussain “a freelance diaspora journalist, born in Lahore, Pakistan and now based in Birmingham, UK”

    “It’s good that the BBC recognises the value of not just sending white, British journalists to cover the internal affairs of other countries.
    But why send an Africa reporter to cover Pakistan?
    “the image of Africa in the Western media is often crisis-driven .. how would the image of Pakistan be interpreted in the media when delivered by an African voice?

    ..and Most of Fihlani’s reports depicted Pakistan and its people as hopeless, starving and poverty-stricken, deprived of basic necessities, with aid distribution practically impossible”

      There are a couple if things Anam doesn’t understand.

      #1 Media write for their audience.. So if the audience is British you need a reporter who understands the British audience .
      So that’s why in the old days reporters were sent out and were largely white .. but now might not be white, if they were born in Britain and understand the audience.

      Likewise Pakistan journos understand their Pakistani audience.

      #2 Local reporters are hampered by their own culture etc.
      They often cannot tell the truth about local politics, cos they have to protect themselves and their families.
      Often they might work with a foreigner and stories come out with the foreigners name on although the local stringer actually wrote it.

      ≠========
      The BBC may have decided they were providing a world new service so would use a world reporter.
      I’d argue that most reporters end up not understanding their own home audience cos they get wrapped up in the medialand bubbleworld, so write for that , rather than the real public.

        Far easier to imagine that Anam Hussein is on the ISI payroll.

        They are really quite proprietorial about Pakistan’s international image.

        iirc George Galloway’s publishing company had a handsomely remunerated gig with Islamabad for some years.

        BBC Tax

        Not much official has been done in the last 3 years …….

        I’d be surprised if it’s been settled – anybody know? The liability falls on the individuals as far as HMRC is usually concerned – they only go after (properly lawyered up) corporates if the individuals mount a stout defence…

        I vaguely recall some settling and some fighting – but no overview and again iirc piecemeal skirmishes between “key talent” and HMRC.

        Tax avoidance is legal – tax evasion is criminal….
