    The spine-less Tories ignored it all
    On Christmas day on Christmas day
    As hundreds more had got the call
    On Christmas Day in the morning

    Spine-less Tories hoped they would be no report
    On Christmas day, on Christmas day
    They hoped the migrants would not be caught
    On Christmas day in the morning

    Now all the migrants come to stay
    On every day, on every day
    With plenty room at the Inn they say
    On every single morning

    Don’t fall for the idea of a Council Tax precept for the TV Licence. Council Tax is enforced, with the emphasis on force, by automatically issued Court Orders complete with fees, Bailiffs that will take your vehicles and goods away, Bankruptcy and ultimately, imprisonment.
    If a similar amount to the licence fee is added to Council Tax, that would be equivalent to at least a10% increase for an average band A property. Nice bit of inflation.
    From the Government’s point of view it would end the fiction that the BBC Tax isn’t a Tax.

    The revelations about the FBI and Twitter confirm what I’ve always thought about the big tech companies. When personal computing and the internet started there were many players. One by one companies were taken over or destroyed by other companies that seemed to become more and more powerful. Think Microsoft, Apple, Google, Meta/Facebook. Many years ago I formed the view that these companies were being backed by the USA and possibly other Western Governments. In return they were expected to allow control by those Governments and agencies, ie data, software back doors and vulnerabilies created to allow access to systems.

    Deaf, Blind, stupid, or all of these ?… or just evil…

    “They recognise, as most SNP, Labour, Liberal Democrat and Green MSPs seemed incapable of doing, that the abandonment of safeguards in this Bill poses a potential risk to the safety of women and girls – and indeed to the welfare of trans people themselves, particularly the young. The Scottish Conservatives have always accepted this is a sensitive subject. That is why we were the only party to allow a free vote on the issue. But whatever opinion MSPs took on the proposals, there are obvious, and potentially dangerous, deficiencies in the Bill as it was drafted.

    Yet Nicola Sturgeon was deaf to those concerns – a year ago she blithely dismissed them as ‘not valid’. At First Minister’s Questions yesterday, she continued to deny there were any flaws in the Bill, or that it created the potential for abuses.

    Despite a court ruling two weeks ago confirming that a gender recognition certificate (GRC) could provide access to protections and spaces reserved for women, the First Minister refused to admit her legislation might allow for the removal of a central and hard-won component of women’s rights.”

      It’s actually bollocks and scare mongering as there has never in the UK been any law about a male being in a womens space, nor to the best of my knowledge and all my searches ever been any kind of reported sexual assault in such a location in the hundreds of years they have existed.

      Safe guards? What is to stop any male entering such an area and carrying out an attack? regardless of any gender certificate?

      Some bloke asked to try on a prom dress at a shop and was refused, complained and was later given an apology and allowed to do so without any kind of fuss or untoward behaviour.

      Ladies and Gentlemen surely you can tell by now when you are being played for fools by the media?

    Similarly, the stinkingly corrupt democrats and US media…follow the money…

    ‘Dirtbag’ Sam Bankman-Fried is ‘worse than Madoff’ but likely won’t stand trial, Pirro says

    Pirro said there is likely a good reason the U.S. government appeared slightly tardy in arresting SBF, after he was initially detained and jailed in the Bahamas.

    “In the end, this guy is worse than Madoff,” Pirro added. “And the reason he is worse than Madoff is that Madoff… used an individual’s money to pay another individual.”

    “This Sam Bankman-Fried used the money for a lavish lifestyle for himself, his family and real estate. He’s a dirtbag, big-time.”

    “The Five” panelist Will Cain added the case is less about Bankman-Fried and more about where the investor purportedly spent his money.
    “I’m not talking about the homes or the lavish lifestyles. It’s the people that benefited from his largesse: It is the media organizations that he funded were up to, I think, almost a half a dozen media organizations who were living in some part off of the funds from FTX,” Cain said.

    “It’s Democrat politicians who were getting big campaign donations from Sam Bankman-Fried. To me, this is the story.”

        Although the snp haven’t resorted to terrorism yet – the use of the law to achieve confrontation is just another part of ‘wear down resistance ‘ ….

        The UK parliament is Supreme . The case will go to the lords and the SNP will lose again – but it’s the strategy …

        I really wish the impact of ‘independence ‘ was made more clear to the Scottish people – but as an Englishman I worry that Scotland will get its cake and eat it from England – eg – no borders- no different treatment of Scottish foreigners – no independence of currency … and much more …
        An independent Far Left Scotland will not be a friend of the English – which would be a great shame and loss …

    Today
    It’s a sort of quiet news day – a strike here – a strike there – no one famous has died suddenly through an ‘unknown cause ‘……
    Yet … the US congressional inquiry into an ‘insurrection ‘ – which the BBC has been reporting on throughout the year – has published its’ 800 plus report …….

    … and there is silence …. It gets a brief mention in the main news – with the complementary mention it recommends charges against a former US president – but that is it .

    There is no ‘report ‘ from a BBC us correspondent- no interview with a former Obama employee …. No nothing .

    So Why ? My read is that the BBC has decided president trump is no longer a threat to its far left agenda . The swamp has killed The Right … so they need not bother ….

    Instead they are going on about continual repression in afgee – with no mention – of course – why this happened … right Obama ?

    The BBC have a great capacity not to join the dots.

    This morning in a very poor interview, the Bee Lady, clearly underprepared and tongue-tied, ‘interviewed’ Mark Sewotka of the PCS, the Public and Commercial services Union, about the Border Farce passport control strikes coming up. His sob stories about underpay went unchallenged, needless to say.

    But let that pass. The PCS. Just the other day, they were demonstrating AGAINST the recent decision by the (Supreme?) Court that the bogus asylum seeker flights to Rwanda were legal.

    So the Union whose members are supposed to,protect our borders oppose protecting them!!!!!!!! Proved.

    But the BBC conveniently forget to enquire about this.
    How very impartial. Not.

    Oh the blessed irony edition

    You can tell when an organ of news media has agendas to push on us when you see it utilises a news event as though it were a Christmas tree on which to hang one of its cherished baubles of narrative.

    The godless corporate globalist Financial Times notices: Children from St Mary’s Ukrainian Choir perform at a Christmas carol service in Westminster Abbey… and is to be broadcast on ITV tomorrow evening. – Nice. Will they leave it at that? Of course not.

    And what larger agenda does the cute photo and this parish notice-like minor news snippet enable the FT to foist upon us, at this time of year, we wonder? A jarring brash display of pro-war Ukraino-jingoism, such as that persistant old blue and yellow banner on the Daily Express masthead, perhaps?

    You’d be surprised which discordant drum the FT choses to bang as the kids sweetly intone “Oh Little Town of Bethlehem” and “Away in a Manger

    Their president has meanwhile been away in Washington begging alms (that’ll be arms) from the US

    Church faces test of faith… The role of the Church of England and religion more broadly in British life has come under renewed scrutiny with the release of the latest national census… (FT)

    Religion more broadly…? Surely they mean Christianity specifically as being on the decline and under scruity? Afterall… pick another creed: 2021 Census: As UK Population Grows, So Do British Muslim Communities (Muslim Council of Britain); UK: Growing Muslim population hailed as ‘strategic national asset’… said MCB secretary general Zara Mohammed (Middle East Eye)

    The godless corporate FT would surely endorse and celebrate the Muslim Council of Britain’s observation: In a statement on Tuesday, the MCB said that the addition of so many young Muslims to the British workforce would provide a boost to the economy. (Middle East Eye) – makes sense, right? Particularly if you’re running a big business with an eye for cheap labour. So it’s more of a strategic corporate asset.

    The Guardian, weather vane and barometer of the liberal left, just happens to celebrate paganism on their frontpage today in the run up to Christmas: Revellers celebrate the return of more daylight… People turned up in unprecedented numbers for the winter solstice at Stonehenge

    And what might the Financial Times have instead pointed out as a by the way commentary on that Ukrainian carol service…?

    Ukraine to prepare law banning churches ‘affiliated’ with Russia… under moves described by President Volodymyr Zelenskiy as necessary to prevent Moscow being able to “weaken Ukraine from within.” (Reuters) – Oh the blessed irony.

    But of course we don’t want to be told about Christians being oppressed, especially by our special allies, and certainly don’t want to hear how a uniting national church is considered one of those ‘strategic national assets’

    Execrable interview on Toady this morning.

    JustRemainin was talking to a lady a little short in grey matter with a strong Estuary English accent.. She was representing this morning’s de rigeur hard luck story. She was interviewed a few months back’ so poor she was going without meals, prioritising her 8 year is son. Get out the hankies.

    But now…..things are better. Now she has a full time job. And we now hear that she has not one child but three! There are a 4 and 5 year old as well. Which Remainin seemed not to know about.

    The whole interview was bathed in sentimentality. Questions not asked. Where is the father of her three children? What is his contribution? What is his responsibility? What job is she doing? Why have 3 kids if you lack the means to look after them?

    Absolutely pathetic. The BBC’s modern role is not to inform but to sentimentalise.

      It is like the MSM claiming nurses are using foodbanks. If a nurse is working full time and has a significant other, there should be enough money coming into the household with two salaries. Even if the nurse is a single mother (should I say single parent these days?), then in addition to her salary there will be family allowance and of course a contribution from the children’s father. I also read somewhere but don’t know if it is correct that nurses get a 25% uplift for working shifts and of course still getting a 10% discount from the supermarkets. Of course the latter is subsided by us paying higher prices.

    Here’s a major breaking news story which appears to be blowing past the desks of the BBC news teams like so much tumbleweed.

    It’s yet another story of corruption by the mafia Democrat crime party which even the NY Post can manage to report, the faking by overstating of jobs by over 1 million in an official report with a view to making the economy appear better in the run up to the mid terms.

    This has an effect similar to winding up a clock spring making any coming depression worse because the necessary action was not taken as a consequence of wrong official data.

    The US is facing one of the worst winter storm in living memory. Even the BBC is reporting on the cold and extreme situation:

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-64061588

    “Plunging temperatures wreaking havoc across the US and Canada can lead to frostbite on bare skin in only five to 10 minutes, experts are warning.

    A powerful Arctic winter storm has placed more than 135 million people under weekend weather alerts ahead of the busiest travel days of the year.

    The alerts stretch from coast to coast and reach as far south as the US-Mexico border and Florida, the Sunshine State. ”

    Just stop and take that in for a moment, reports of extreme cold weather as far South as Mexico and Florida at a time when the Fascist Left along with the BBC are peddling the lie of a “climate crisis”.

    As bad though as the BBC reports are – and this really is a serious threat to life, it’s probably understated, here is a live weather report from the USA:

    https://www.accuweather.com/en/winter-weather/live-news/live-updates-winter-storm-blizzard-create-travel-chaos-ahead-of-christmas/1426762

    This storm is going to kill people it really is that bad, and it’s evidence the Earth is not warming and there is no need for all the climate lunacy, but in spite of all of this there is no backing away from the climate agenda, no reporting the massive record low temperatures – only the highs get that attention. No explanation that the droughts we saw this year were as a result of La Nina a cooling cycle preventing oceanic evaporation and therefore cloud formation.

    The knock on effect of these Winter storms will be of course on energy prices although at the present time they have not risen that much.

    One thing though you can be sure of, the seriousness of this storm mean news media will have no choice but to report it, but they will not draw the obvious conclusion that it is in direct opposition to the position they hold of a warming planet.

      Yes…it’s noticeable that there is no mention of ‘climate change’ in their reports on extreme cold weather…but when it’s hot suddenly it’s always about ‘climate change’.

      And talk about hedging bets…they will tell us snow will be a thing of the past due to climate change but then on the other hand tell us that snow will increase due to climate change putting more moisture in the air…..so if there’s no snow it’s climate change…if there is snow it’s climate change.

      Wonder what made the snow when we didn’t have climate change.

      In a 100 years maybe they’ll know, or admit, the truth…..the climate changed but the cause was ‘XXXXXX’…..I’m guessing CO2 won’t figure too high in the memo.

      And by then no doubt we’ll be heading for a deep freeze and global cooling…..due to slavery or somesuch fashionable lefty cause….reparations still needed then!…However by then Britain will be all black so it’ll be black people paying black people reparations…lol.

    “We’ll soldier on WITHOUT Border Force! Heathrow and Gatwick passengers’ joy at ‘brilliant’ British Army getting them through queues in ‘record time’ as 1,000 passport staff begin eight-day Christmas strikes
    Border Force is striking on the busiest Christmas in three years from today.

    Travellers were warned to expect delays amid fears that long queues at passport control could lead to people being held on planes, disrupting departures.

    But there were no changes to flight schedules as of 7am.

    ‘Just been through T2 arrivals, greeted by loads of helpers and the really brilliant Army stepping in. Made it through in record time with our young family. Well done. ‘

    While another traveller added: ‘Heathrow – where I am now – seems to be working much better at passports and luggage – by far! – with the chirpy non-jobs***e military on the case.’ 

    A Heathrow spokesperson said: ‘The morning arrivals peak has started well. Immigration halls are free flowing at Heathrow with Border Force and the military contingency providing a good service.”

    Has Sturgeon played a very clever stunt with this gender bill or did she just get lucky?

    The inept Tories are now in a bind caused by their own cowardice and stupidity.

    The best thing they can do is to keep their heads down and not interfere and allow the anti English hate filled voters of the SNP to decide who they hate more, women or the English.

    If they do make the wrong decision and intervene because a solitary predatory male decides to travel to Scotland and undergo all the necessary proceedures for a legal gender change (and it’s not as simple as just announcing it what ever the media tells you) then it will be a gift both to the SNP and to the Left in general.

    The Left will decry the hapless Tories for being transphobic homophobic annd reality phobic, and the Tories being abject cowards cannot stand up to these attacks and will fold making life even worse in the UK
    The SNP will completely obliterate the Tories and probably Labour in Scotland by claiming English interference in their affairs in the hopeless Tories do intervene.

    And lets face it, given all the excesses the SNP have indulged in with the Tories support and conievance, if the only time they can intervene if the misplaced fear (cowardice again) that some bloke MIGHT go to Scoland to take advantage of their new law then they deserve everything coming to them for it.

    The very best thing they could do would be to put Sturgeon on the spot and call a referendum on this bill in Scotland which if as it should Sturgeon was to lose it to a substantial majority would finish her political career, and maybe her party along with it.

    But we all know if there’s a wrong decision to make then the Tories are going to take that, especially if it appears to be the easiest option.

        The personal TDS animus that was on show was quite amazing – the Trumps haters irrationality in raving about DJT pervaded so much of the proceedings that the BBC and US media had difficulty snipping clips for circulation to the public platform they control.

        Kinzinger and particularly Raskin were simply incredible.

        They managed months of TDS spouting and still sat on near all the the CCTV from the day.

        It’s a cherry on the top to hear that there was a (successful) campaign to block circulation of Capitol mobile phone footage across FB, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube.

      This seems… newsworthy.

      Hence the BBC will go full skateboarding turtles.

    They Realisation of the con pulled on World the by the pseudo science nutters
    has just occurred to me.

    Remember when they based all their alarmism on Global temperate rise?

    We constantly heard claims of we must limit this to 1 degree etc.

    Well that’s gone!

    We are now berated with Net Zero carbon alarmism.

    Why did they do that?

    Because we all know and experience the temperature so any difference is obvious to us all and we can raise objections.

    Net Zero estimates on the other hand is solely in the hands of the same scientific community so we cannot argue with it and neither can the politicians.

    Neat huh!

    TalkTV talked about a shooting in Paris
    “3 dead near Kurdish community centre
    69 yo man arrested
    motive unclear”

    Earlier they implied it was a racist killing, which it still could turn out to be .. There are crazy people out there.
    Oh DW are still saying that
    “The shooting occurred at a Kurdish community center and police is investigating a possible racist motive.”
    BBC say “Paris Prosecutor Laure Beccuau confirmed that that the suspect had just been released, a year after he had attacked tents at a migrant camp in Paris with a sword.”

    WaPo quoted the district mayor
    “the shootings took place in the Kurdish community center located on Rue d’Enghien, as well as in a restaurant just in front of the community center and at a hairdresser.”
    That looks quite targeted rather than someone rushing in to one place and spraying bullets.

    Just had the misfortune and bad-planning to have to sit through another ad-break on Freeview.

    I see that the next progression of black over-representation is to have a black person as the central, intelligent figure dealing with whiteys who are incompetent idiots. I wonder how that compares with real-life in Londonistan.

    And I see the Donkey emotional-blackmail has moved on from blaming ill treatment by cruel owners to trying to tell us that their Muslim owners are decent, caring people who just can’t afford to look after them properly. I wonder if someone complained again that showing the truth is ‘not helpful’ for dealing with racist whiteys. So they lie.

    Just when you think they can’t get more ridiculous, the Left always manage to surprise you.

      Last evening I sat through several ad breaks without seeing one white model. The ad agencies must be overflowing with models of colour (except white) on their books. Its beyond ridiculous, and personally I’m sick of it. Its got to the stage where I see more blacks on the tele than ever I do in real life !

    Paramedic thread with good points
    #1 Student debt is extra tax for good workers ..like paramedics
    #2 Foreign paramedics had easier time during covid
    then given big leave , so service short staffed
    #3 Staff use tricks like running over time by 1 minute to rack up overtime hour
    etc.

    GBnews think they have TV gold by doing live footage of street protesters vs police near the Kurdish Centre.

    Seems to be rubbernecking and attempt to get footage of a policeman getting a brick in the face.

    Communist flags are evident
    Now crowds retweeting as police keep charging.

        Just imagine what the BBC would report if white people went into Muslim areas and started riots after one of their Muslim terrorist attacks. They would be absolutely condemned as racist.

        And I see the BBC have pronounced it as a racially motivated attack in the first article. The BBC have never given us the motivation for any Muslim terrorist attack. They are racially motivated and then some. Especially in Israel where they stab as many civilians on the street as they can until they are stopped.

        Not that they EVER even use the word ‘Muslim’ or ‘terrorist’ in their articles after those of course.

        Muslim attacks get one short article. Lets see how many this one gets. I confidently predict there will be at least 3 on the BBC by tomorrow. And if any white people get murdered as a result, it will be inferred they were justified because of the white guy.

    So its now allegedly being reported that all those seeking asylum are getting it on their first assessment, purely to get numbers down. Ha ! so why not cut out the assessment and just wave everyone through regardless ! It won’t get numbers down, it’ll just create more from the world in pitching up on the beach.
