    Joe Biden’s great, great grandfather left Ireland for the US in 1851…and Biden is still Irish? And people want to know his roots?

    Guess your roots are still important….as the ‘Kenyan’ Obama would know.

    However…if you’re a black race-baiter apparently not….or rather it’s a great excuse to denounce someone as racist if they’re white and ask about your roots.

    Consider Ngozi Fulani and the racism of Lady Susan Hussey ….erm…apparently Ngozi Fulani is not her real name but one adopted by her to celebrate her African roots….that it’s so rude to ask about.

    What we have is a white woman slandered around the world as a racist by a black racist and liar…one who proclaims that it is racist to ask about her heritage whilst at the same time announcing that she is ‘proud of my African heritage [standing there looking like she’s just out of Africa!] as I always make clear’….hmmm…except when it is an opportunity to smear someone as a racist….and indeed not just someone but the whole Royal family….apparently this is now ‘institutional racism’.

    Interview on Today….basically just a chance for her to double down on her smears claiming that Hussey was trying to ‘get me to denounce [lol] my Britishness’.

    Was she? Wasn’t she in fact just making polite conversation and asking about her background questions any white person is also subject to?

    Fulani tries to suggest the use of ‘your people’ is also racist…..oh, hold on…Hussey said of her own background that ‘my people come from France’…..so applying the same term to herself and clearly Hussey would say she was British whilst her ancestors came from France…not difficult….why is it so hard for the black woman to understand?

    Interesting to note that Fulani claimed that ‘in our [black] culture we respect our elders’…..OK….so you have a culture that you separate from ‘Britishness’….the ‘British’ don’t respect their elders? Aren’t you ‘British’? What’s ‘our culture’? Oooops…that’s a racist question!

    Mishal Husain naturally didn’t put any questions to Fulani and just accepted the racist tripe that she uttered without challenge.

    And you might ask where is the voice of Lady Hussey in all of this…she is being smeared, libelled and vilified as a racist and the BBC doesn’t seem to want to put the other side….in fact they have decided she is guilty but not just her…the whole Royal institution and indeed every institution…Husain asking at the start ‘What can Royalty and other institutions learn from this?’

    One might suggest not taking the word of a black agitator, doing your job and investigating properly and not smearing someone merely because she is white and connected to Royalty and thus conforming to your BBC prejudices and stereotypes about white people and the Royals in particular in a way that suits your agenda.

    The BBC waste no time in creating a totally false narrative around this trying to drag in the whole Royal family.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-63808613

    You have this lie to start with…

    ‘What turned the conversation into such a car crash was the apparent unwillingness to accept a black woman’s response that she was from Britain – with the questioning assuming she must really be from elsewhere.

    There seemed to be an underlying misconception that she could not “really” be from the UK.’

    No….Hussey did not think that…she was asking what she’d ask anyone.

    Then the BBC goes on…

    ‘And what makes it so toxic is that it once again raises difficult questions about the Royal Family and their ability to reflect a diverse modern Britain.

    It touches raw nerves about a sense of belonging and identity. It suggests Buckingham Palace as a starchy and unwelcoming place.’

    Really? No, that’s total bilge. Dangerous bilge that is more about reflecting the BBC’s hatred of the Royal family than the truth.

    The final smear….

    ‘The incident this week adds more urgency to the King’s efforts to modernise the institution he has taken over.’

    No…not at all….what this incident shows is the nastiness of black agitators, the foolishness of those who believe or force themselves to believe and the cynical opportunism and racism of institutions like the BBC which want to undermine Britain and to demonise all white people…and to erase them from not just from history but from the future….literally.

    Hussey has been thrown under the bus by the Royals and the bus has been reversed over her again and again by the likes of the BBC.

    Fulani is a complete fraud and a thoroughly nasty piece of work judging by her comments and reactions. One might suspect that there’s a reason she was a ‘victim’ of domestic abuse……as Bill Burr says you shouldn’t hit a woman but it doesn’t come from nowhere……

      pug, “Guess your roots are still important….as the ‘Kenyan’ Obama would know.”

      One cannot be intrigued by one’s ancestors, however, it is something of a ‘rite of passage’ for US Presidents to claim to be from Ireland. If I recall correctly it was true for George Bush Jnr, GH Bush Snr, Ronald Reagan and Jack Kennedy. Where was Nixon from? There is, of course, a large Irish vote to be garnered.

    As Labour leads the charge against fee-paying schools, Guido’s attention was drawn to one particularly brash intervention. Labour’s candidate for Hartlepool, Jonathan Brash, claimed on Twitter that private education was not charitable, adding there is “no justification” for tax incentives which “should be abolished”. This intervention may come as a surprise to those who know Jonathan. For not only was he educated at £5,000 per term Yarm School, he now teaches there…

    I miss Diane Abbott … so here we go … “Abbott speaks out on school row: Diane Abbott has been critical of colleagues’ school choices. Labour MP Diane Abbott has said sending her son to a £10,000-a-year private school instead of a comprehensive is “indefensible”. {bbc.co.uk oct2003}”
    In her first detailed comments on the controversy, she told BBC One’s This Week programme: “Private schools prop up the class system in society.”
    “It is inconsistent, to put it mildly, for someone who believes in a fairer and more egalitarian society to send their child to a fee-paying school.”
    But, she added: “I (Diane Abbott) had to choose between my reputation as a politician and my son.”

    When Prime Minister Tony Blair sent his eldest son, Euan, to the London Oratory, a selective school, she criticised him, saying people voted Labour because they believed in equality.

    And when Solicitor General Harriet Harman sent her son to a selective grammar school in Orpington, Kent, Ms Abbott said: “She made the Labour Party look as if we do one thing and say another.”

    The Hackney North and Stoke Newington MP, who became Britain’s first black woman member in 1987, told the programme her constituents would understand – “particularly black mothers who know the position I’m in”.

    – reputation or moral high ground when saying what other people should do?
    – how come we could not choose between having her as an MP or doing what she tells other people to do?

    TOADY Watch #2 – much fussee over waits of ambulanceees …

    … the BBC are really missing Boris Johnson as PM although the BBC will not admit it because Boris actually arranged to get rid of NHS backlogs and sort out the Social Care problem in time. Now that NI increase is no more, we are still paying lots of tax for what? Credit where credit is due, JustRemainIn Webb did stand up to a wimmin, Dame Julia (sorry forgotten surname and organisation) probably a Socialist who claimed the problem went back to 2010 and ‘austerity’. Justin Webb quickly pointed out that the NHS has had increasing amounts of taxpayer money since then.

    Dame Julia corrected! Well done, Justin, but I think it was ‘water off a duck’s back’.

    Socialists believe several lies; that the Conservatives have been in power for twelve years (actually seven), that austerity deprived the NHS of money (it didn’t), that nurses did not get a pay rise at all during the years of wicked Tory austerity (they did) and so on. I could go on for some time.

    Part of a press conference that took place during the NATO involvement in Kosovo and the bombing of Serbia. The hypocracy of the West vis-a-vis the bombing of Ukranian infracture by Russia:

    Question (Norwegian News Agency): I am sorry Jamie but if you say that the Army has a lot of back-up generators, why are you depriving 70% of the country of not only electricity, but also water supply, if he has so much back-up electricity that he can use because you say you are only targeting military targets?

    Jamie Shea : Yes, I’m afraid electricity also drives command and control systems. If President Milosevic really wants all of his population to have water and electricity all he has to do is accept NATO’s five conditions and we will stop this campaign. But as long as he doesn’t do so we will continue to attack those targets which provide the electricity for his armed forces. If that has civilian consequences, it’s for him to deal with but that water, that electricity is turned back on for the people of Serbia. Unfortunately it has been turned off for good or at least for a long, long time for all of those 1.6 million Kosovar Albanians who have been driven from their homes and who have suffered, not inconvenience, but suffered in many cases permanent damage to their lives. Now that may not be a distinction that everybody likes but for me that distinction is fundamental.

    Just wondering why the BBC website spends just about all of its time showing foreign faces and claiming ‘diversity’, which is blatantly untrue as the real statistics of the indigenous British white peoples are way over the coloured versions, so why can’t they balance their output – dire as it is – with programmes for citizens who have lived here for generations and have families which were founded years before Windrush was even a drop in the ocean? They still say Nigel Farage is ‘wrong’, where he blatantly isn’t!

    Most adverts show mixed couples which are almost unheard on in the shire villages where we live, and as far as I know, it’s not far off the same everywhere else, but the banks, the insurance companies, the supermarkets and the usual dross which bang on about their stuff are always showing disproportionate numbers of other races against normal white British citizens!

    Naturally, I vote with my wallet when I see this imbalance, as I didn’t vote to have my heritage watered down to suit a leftie coup for getting open borders next to my house! No thank you!

    England cricket team are 506-4 v. Pakistan at the end of day one, four centuries, the slowest being in 104 balls, the fastest a team has ever got to 500 in a Test match. Yet you’ll struggle to find anything about it on the BBC webshite, well buried in the sports section. England have done well so we’ll keep it quiet. Far more important are the usual victims bleating about the health service, fuel bills and of course white racism. By the way I hope that donations for that particular charity dry up as quickly as the pitches in Pakistan. The BBC are beneath contempt.

So why is this ‘allegation’ treated as the truth ? all of a sudden at the mention of the words racial abuse, the wheels go into overdrive ! It seems that any black person, whether its a member of a cricket club, or the police force or a charity who decides to make a statement on Twitter, then its treated as the gospel truth ! what about hearing from the other side ? No, if there is any reply, – which I can’t remember there ever being a retaliation, its always in the form of an apology !

    Why is this non-story the top story on the BBC? Seriously? A Black makes up and exaggerates a claim of racism and the BBC swallows it whole and thinks it is the most important story in the world today?!

    Astonishing that the Black, one who seemingly has a rather loose grasp of English, has such a good memory that she can recall every word and nuance of a conversation….as the BBC believes….

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-63819482

    ‘Here is the full conversation, as recounted by Ms Fulani:

    Lady SH: Where are you from?

    Me: Sistah Space.

    SH: No, where do you come from?

    Me: We’re based in Hackney.

    SH: No, what part of Africa are you from?

    Me: I don’t know, they didn’t leave any records.

    SH: Well, you must know where you’re from, I spent time in France. Where are you from?

    Me: Here, the UK.

    SH: No, but what nationality are you?

    Me: I am born here and am British.

    SH: No, but where do you really come from, where do your people come from?

    Me: ‘My people’, lady, what is this?

    SH: Oh I can see I am going to have a challenge getting you to say where you’re from. When did you first come here?

    Me: Lady! I am a British national, my parents came here in the 50s when…

    SH: Oh, I knew we’d get there in the end, you’re Caribbean!

    Me: No lady, I am of African heritage, Caribbean descent and British nationality.

    SH: Oh so you’re from…’

    Hmmmm….so there’s this…

    ‘SH: Well, you must know where you’re from, I spent time in France. Where are you from?’

    How then did the Black tell us on Today that Hussey actually said…

    ‘My people come from France…’

    ….which puts it all in a completely different light….and suggests the Black isn’t telling us the truth about what was really said, the tone of voice and intended meaning….ad as for not knowing which part of Africa…..she has told us in previous articles before this blew up that her family are linked to Nigeria….so another little lie by her.

    She invents a claim of racism and feigns outrage and trauma, and so many people are ready to get on-board with her lies…..be afraid, be very afraid for when they get the whip-hand.

      One reason for BBC predictable enthusiasm in prolonging Lady Susan’s pain is that she’s the widow of Marmaduke Hussey, Chairman of the BBC at the time when John Birt was making his first moves to create the brave new world we now suffer.

      Baron Hussey did his patriotic best but, as we can now appreciate, it didn’t stop Birtie.

    TOADY Watch #3 – back to the ambulance and hospital fusseee …..

    … down here in Kent, if I recall correctly, we have four major hospitals for over one million 500 hundred thosand people. Why are ambulances having to wait so long before transfering sick people into hospital? Could it be that Civil Servants at the Department for Health are busy closing hospitals around the UK? In Kent they wanted to close one of the four major hospitals but a public campaign defeated the Whitehall mandarins for the time being. But for how long will the people prevail?

    New houses are being built across the county at a furious pace. There was a large housing development due to be built on the old Folkestone racecourse for horses. Was there a plan for a GP surgery? No. Was there a plan for a small ‘satellite’ hospital? No. What does the general public know about housebuilding that planners in the Local Authority and Civil Servants at Dept for the Environment and Dept for Health apparently do not know?

    House building, along with farming, is one of the most dangerous occupations for industrial injuries. No GP, no small hospital? Doh! Well, it is OK for the Whitehall mandarins: if I recall correctly they have their own private health scheme through the CSA. If they get an infected paper cut handling documents or have a bad stapler injury, or fall down a staircase in Whitehall, no queues or long waits for them!

      Up2 its the same all over. When I migrated to this large village 25 years ago we had a Surgery like the one in BBCs Doctors. Walk in appointments, or sit and wait your turn. It was a practice of 6 doctors – as replicated all over the country. Fast forward to now, and in the last 10 years there have been SIX large and sprawling housing developments on surrounding land, I can’t even calculate the explosion of population its so big. The Surgery has lost GPs to retirement, and we have a couple of partners and a rapid turnover of 2 locums. FOUR doctors for tens of thousands. I have yet to see any of them and dread the time I am so ill when I’m in need of help.

        Uppers and Brissles, I’ve heard via a doctor chum that the Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) are now integrated into yet another larger group, called Integrated Care Systems ICSs), and that the former still have the whip hand in telling doctors where they can or cannot practice, and also if it’s necessary!

        The housebuilders are a damned sight cleverer than the sort of people in these two huge ‘groups’, and can use the requirement for new practices as a planning bargaining tool, when they want to plonk another thousand houses on a greenfield site against the locals’ wishes of course! Of course, the councils will roll over, the houses built against everyone’s wishes and the result is that the schools will be next, then the drainage companies, then the roads, then the electricity companies etc etc.

        I used to be a per diem consultant to a huge planning firm, and their idea of completely new settlements was their dream, especially as they would take land which was useless for anything else, and make a new community – including a school, decent services and yes – a proper doctor’s surgery!

        There was a perfect site a few miles from here, near Tunbridge Wells, where the A21 was diverted and dualled, (after about thirty years of prevarication), and the site would have been perfect for such a development!

        But no, the decision was taken to shoe-horn thousands of new homes into small villages, hence the problem with getting a doctor’s appointment! (But I seem to recall that you know that much better than me, Brissles) ;0)

    TWatO Watch #1 – rattling the collecting tin for the UN is a bit much right now but that won’t stop Sarah

    As the BBC have been constantly telling us we have a-cost-of-living-crisis here in the UK and, although the BBC are a bit quiet on the subject, also an-illegal-migrant-crisis and taxes-are-at-their-highest-crisis since the Napoleonic Wars or WW2. They are not actually at that level but the BBC occasionally like to claim that. We also have an-ambulance-waiting-at-hospitals-crisis and a-not-enough-doctors-and-nurses-in-the-NHS-crisis.*

    The UN are after a lot more money than last year and want to give it to Somalia and Pakistan for drought relief and flooding relief, respectively. Well, we have had a drought in the UK and we may be getting floods soon because the ground is sodden where I live and it has rained for over a month, almost continually.

    How about some UN money for the UK, then?

    *If you want to make a list of BBC crises, you could lengthen it with the-bird-flu-crisis.

    https://prospect.org/power/congressmembers-tried-to-stop-secs-inquiry-into-ftx/

    Ok this is a complicated issue, so I’ll write it in a simpified form missing out lots of details for obvious reasons, however both parties send the political representatives to oversee the Securities & Exchange Commission which is a US oversight body for financials including crypto and in this case FTX.

    8 of the members of this commision have written a letter trying to prevent investigation into the failure of the Bankman Fried FTX company, 5 of these had directly received payments from Bankman Fried / FTX ” Five of the eight members received campaign donations from FTX employees, ranging from $2,900 to $11,600″

    Bernie Madoff was imprisoned 2 days after the fraud came to light, so far as I know he never paid the monies iinto the Democrat coffers in the way SB-F has done, and there has to be a huge amount of suspicion that making these donation is akin to paying protection money to a crime syndicate.

    Not seen any of this in the UK media at all, and I’m still waiting to see if the Wall Street Journal prints any of the allegations of false accounting at Disney corp which has been rumoured to have been going on.

    A few minutes ago on BBC News channel black presenter Clive Myrie was interviewing some other chip on the shoulder black man about the Palace ‘racist’ conversation. Impartiality was no where to be seen.

    The other guy was coming out with some proper urine boiling comments like, “once she said she is from Britain that is the end of the conversation”, “just asking which bit of the world you are from is 1600’s racism”.

    Even Myrie was quoting Lenny Henry from 20 years ago when someone told him to go back where you came from and Henry replied “you mean Dudley?”. Myrie then said “that was 20 years ago and nothing has changed”.

    Yes he is correct. People still ask where you come from. it is quite normal.

    As for Lenny Henry lecturing others on racism – I’ll just leave this here.

    Here’s a story of astonishing import made even more astonishing because hardly anyone even knows about it.

    Last week one of the biggest banks in the world Credit Suisse collapsed following a run on the bank in which £88 billion was withdrawn. It was propped up by the Swiss government and the US Fedral reserve – just stop and take the enormity of that in for a moment. A major world bank collapses, and a foreign government has to come to its rescue, and you don’t even know about it.

    In fact the Wests entire banking system is once again on the edge of failing and the Fed didn’t want the domino effect of one major banks taking the rest down with it.
    It’s just kicking the can down the road of course because further failures are inevitable (and China is in pretty much the same situation.) My advice is that you don’t keep any money in a bank save what you need for transactional purposes, put anything else in a mutual society such as a building society (not one owned by a bank of course), or precious metals.

    Here’s a video discussion with a retired bank director who should know a little of the issues involved, and the future isn’t looking all that rosey for the Euro either.
