    More ITV News.
    Rachel Younger reporting on a rise in hate speech under Elon Musk.
    Evidence provided by someone recently removed as a Twitter moderator: A “woman” called Melissa, who has lovely long hair, broad shoulders, a big square chin and 5 o’clock shadow to rival Magnum P.I.
    I’m sure “she” was entirely unbiased in her duties.

    Farage with a different take on the African Queen scandal. (manufactured scandal.)

    It turns out Ngozi Falani is a big fan of Meghan, “a survivor of domestic violence from her in-laws”. The African Queen also posted that the Royal Family were racist on the occasion of the Jubilee. Add to that her organisation is funded by the corrupt, criminal, marxist and racist BLM.
    So a very different picture starts to emerge of an unpleasant race-baiter with chips on both soldiers, buckets of victimhood, malevolent grievance towards the Monarchy, and a sinister agenda even before the cocktail reception.

    You won’t hear that from the BBC.

    “Incredible moment thieves casually ransack Apple store in tech mecca Palo Alto and staff HOLD BACK customers from trying to stop them

    Startling footage from the Apple store in Palo Alto showed the thieves storming about the store and ripping iPhones, iPads, and laptops from their displays
    Customers were heard asking employees if they should do anything to stop it, but the employees told them not to intervene, and even guided some away
    The thieves made off with about $35,000 worth of merchandise in the heist
    No arrests have been made, but cops said they believe the suspects to be in their teens or early twenties ”

    City of Chester by election. Big swing to labour, Big drop for Tories.
    Small rise for Lib dem.
    Reform came fifth yet again amongst the rag, tag and bobtails trailing the useless Greens again.
    Where is the much heralded surge for reform that Michael Heaver and others keep talking about. It seems to be a paper party. All eloquence by a few self appointed heads and no substance on the ground. Time for a mass membership party in my view. The Brexit Party from which Reform sprang was not keen on having a base among the ghastly public if I remember correctly.

      That the voters of Chester are obviously impressed by the ‘sincerity’ and ‘integrity’ dripping from the likes of Blair, Starmer, Reeves and the Millipedes etc. tells us all we need to know about the wisdom of the electorate.
      Ditto with the LimpDumb votes in Tiverton and Honiton.

        But incredibly 6000 people voted for blue labour . Why ? Was it a mistake ? Was it a vote for the jungle bloke .

        Starmer will be able to put anything in the red labour manifesto and win – but if people are still voting blue labour the 300 plus majority msy not being coming – only 200 ….

          I’m beginning to doubt whether voters would even recognise one if it existed. With over 90% voting for Lab/Con/Lib one can only hope this is due to normal people just not bothering to turn out and vote for what else is available.

            We are in a sort of politics last seen by the anti brexit parliament led by bercow . It doesn’t show outwardly so much but both sides are still scoffing at the electorate – the people – and putting their corrupt conventions and treaties above our interests …

      Ahmadis suffer vicious persecution around the world. The main source of fuel for that persecution is in Pakistan, but what happens in Pakistan does not stay in Pakistan.

      I know that from my experience in the Yorkshire market town of Batley. In August 1985, when I was 11 years old, my parents organised an inter-faith meeting in the town hall. It was interrupted and disturbed when, according to West Yorkshire police, more than 1,000 extremists, led by Pakistani hate preachers funded by the Pakistani state, were bused in from around the country. The mob brutally attacked my English mother and my father, a dermatologist; my eldest brother and I; and a Welsh Ahmadi schoolteacher who was with us. My first cousin, a GP, was by chance driving through the market town that day. He saw the mob and saw his family and friends being attacked, so he stopped. He was recognised, pulled from his vehicle and savagely beaten up.

      Dear Winston Smith at the BBC £3.5bn UK News Service Department,

      I noticed on the BBC news (2jul2019) you showed the opening of the EU Parliament and The Brexit Party facing the opposite way (outward looking) to the other MEPs (inward looking) and went on to show the Liberal Demoracts Party wearing bright yellow t-shirts front side only (not yellow vests).

      May I point out three bits of omission as it was a former employee of yours that said “Omission was the greatest lie.”.

      1) You showed the Liberal Democrats t-shirts but did not display what was on the back .. B*LL*CKS TO BREXIT. I added stars incase your system blocks swear words. This is missing the point that grown ups are swearing in Parliament.

      2) Your complaints page has been missing for at least two weeks that shows your omissions and corrections in 2018 like the one where you said NHS nurse but in fact she was a Labour Activist.
      http://www.bbc.co.uk/corporate2/helpandfeedback/corrections_clarifications/corrections_2018

      3) I see MEP Magid Magid got refused entry to the EU Parliament, but the article shows a nice t-shirt (IMMIGRANTS MAKE BRITAIN GREAT) and not the one he wore which was “F**K FASCISM” when trying to enter Parliament.

      From these 3 cases I hope you can see that omission lets the BBC tell a different story and can elevate those in favour and bring scorn to those out of favour.

      I know this email is on its way to the BBC Memory Hole but hope that at least one person in the BBC, you Winston, get a chance to raise an eyebrow.

      Many Thanks,
      A BBC TV License Tax payer helping the Few like Gary Lineker, Not the Many like the over 75s.

    At worst, it seems a so past gen old biddy was tactless or rude or simply old, and at best a now evidently empathetic media prepared chancer was prepped to the eyeballs to give the gotcha gutter broadcast section all they could wish for without even needing to think about it.

    The first King Charles abandoned his friends. He lost his crown and his head with it. History may repeat itself in some form or other.
    I am convinced that the House of Windsor is doomed. I didn’t have a lot of faith in Charles but it appears his son William is going to be no better if his response to his godmother is an indication.

Why didn’t Camilla wait for HRH to finish his service down under, I don’t know? She couldn’t have loved Charlie boy that much. The death of their mother has damaged both Princes but Wills appears to have been saved by the love of a really good woman. Maybe also something deeper is going on with W&K. Am not so sure about Windsor minor, though. I fear for the lad.

    Does anyone else find it rather ‘convenient’ that at the exact same time that William and Kate are starting their US tour, and Netflix is posting a preview of the odious Meghan and Harry’s documentary, and with allegations of royal racism still swirling; that at that exact moment Ngozi Falani, an admirer of Meghan, a race-baiter and anti-monarchist, just happens to find herself the ‘victim’ of racism and happens to have a photographic memory, or more likely a recording of an incriminating conversation at the Palace?

    What a lot of coincidences!

    While the BBC have been fawning over the nefarious African Queen and uncritically accepting her version of events, a more skeptical person might suspect the cunning Duchess of plotting the whole thing.

      Can’t have helped the cause of developing community cohesion much, certainly.

      Things really have improved so much in the decades since Tony and Mad Al decided to rig the voting system and inspire such as the BBC and entire media estate to rub everything hostage to woke, or else, inspiring all the unnamed munchkins in public service, running even Buck House.

      From my travelling days I retain friends of many cultural origins and enjoy our exchanges online by Zoom or social media. Never thought of them as anything other than fine folk.

      Here in the remote shires it is a bit different thanks to demographic geographical realities. The <10% of population BAME is less here.

      That said, happy to enjoy a good relationship with many a person of shared good humour out and about. Currently snoods and wooly hats make IFF tricky anyway.

      However I have always remember being a bit wary of travellers of equal hue in the council carpark, rammed with new Audi Q7s and trailers and odd storage waste disposal methods. Recall well a time some of their munchkins came rushing up demanding to pet our dogs and luckily refused. Seems they are well versed in a prod and compo howl.

      However, in social gatherings and if hiring again I fear I might be now be more circumspect thanks to events, dear boys, girls and others. No point putting oneself in the firing line.

      And that, for all in this country of any background, is what these political, NGO and media race baiters have managed to achieve.

      Mostly watching our backs.

    Oh dear, The Imbecile and The Coward are to negotiate with a shrewd psychopathic killer. What could possibly go wrong?

    BBC back to inferring that bridge was bombed by the Russians ..

    “The Archbishop of Canterbury visited a bombed bridge in Irpin as well as the site of a mass grave of civilians”

    _127865738_d9c1cb3b-a2f5-484d-b411-5745d6205de5.jpg.webp

    When actually:

    “Ukrainian forces destroyed the bridge in an attempt to stop Russian tanks from entering Kyiv. CTV’s Daniele Hamadjian reports.”

    Three hours ago @LittleBoats2020 tweeted:
    There are forces trying to permanently shut down our “Map of Shame” from google maps.
    This is tyranny & it tells us the true picture showing the eyewatering extent illegals are being planted across the country is to be hidden.

    This is true because I could not see the list of 406 quisling hotels earlier, but it is now up and running again HERE.

    The govt, MSM, Labour Party and Unions are all sitting by as hotel workers are sacked to make way for self entitled illegals out to plunder Britain.
    By Xmas day 12 -15k will have lost their jobs.
    When will somebody stand up for their right?

      The Whately Hall Hotel has recently been rebranded after taking on a private Government contract, leading to a number of Christmas parties and other engagements being cancelled.”

      That Little Boats page reads
      These Hotels are accommodating non-paying guests.
      Owners out of pure greed have sacked thousands of staff,
      made live-in ones homeless,
      evicted paying guests & are recklessly endangering local communities in a stampede to milk taxpayers dry.
      If you have a submission to make or you feel your hotel has been erroneously cited please Direct Message us on Twitter ASAP

      That language is a bit Socialist Worker & vulnerable to libel claims.
      If a hotel is about to go bankrupt they may well decide that an ASylum Seeker contract is the only way to survive.

      #2 I notice Skegness hotels are omitted from the map.

    “Associated Press: Orban continues to block EU plan to provide Ukraine with 18 billion euros in 2023.

    The Hungarian prime minister proposed that each of the 27 EU member states use funds from their own budget to assist Ukraine, and not from the general budget, stressing that Hungary would not accept another plan.”

      ‘Those in the know’ are suggesting it’s time for Charles to strip this turbulent duo of their titles, but he will need the permission of parliament to do so.

      Not so. By issuing a Writ of Attainder both Prince and Dukedoms will cease to exist and be struck from the records of the College of Heralds. And the loving couple will be stripped of every single vestige of privilege, property, right and perquisite within the UK.

      It may not have been used since the Middle Ages, but Royal families have always known how to deal with black (no intended racism) sheep. All Charles needs is the courage.

        Seems the US media have just woken up to this, at least literally.

        And every no name equivalent to Kev Maguire or VD or Femi there has cut and pasted what they read in the BBC ‘news’ partner’s feeds.

        There is of course the added woeful aspect of BLM still having a moderate hold there still despite actual facts on them too.

    The BBC seem to have gone quiet about the African Queen story.

    Could it be because some embarrassing facts are emerging about the Zulu Queen’s background, her agenda, her “charity’s” mission statement, its connection to BLM, her anti-royalist tweets and race-baiting, her support of Meghan, the possibility of an illegal recording, the poor treatment of victims by her “charity” etc.

    Perhaps the Charity Commission should look into their administration and finances.

    (They won’t, of course.)

    Earlier today there was a ‘lecture ‘ as part of the Reith lectures about the 4 freedoms outlined in another time by Roosevelt .

    But there was a problem ; because the BBC only sees / allows one approved version of the world there was the usual perversion of truth by the BBC .
    There was no criticism of the practicality of the 4 freedoms – for instance – so called ‘refugees ‘ who are protected by crap liberal ‘international laws ‘ – allowing corrupt politicians to spout about moral responsibility – but in real life leading to serious harm to the well being of British taxpayers who have ‘refugees ‘ inflicted on them – without any consultation at all .

    Where are their freedoms ? SO WHAT ?
