I would be happy for BBC staff to be required to live in Afghanistan for 6 months – especially the clueless women they seem to be overwhelmingly staffed by these days – just so they can understand the real-world day-to-day existence in the religion they are totally lying about to cover up what they do.
Then they might actually understand that you can’t overturn a brainwashed, stone-age cult by being nice to them and giving them everything they demand. They just demand more.

SILENT WITNESS watch. Series 15 2012.
Just as the media got wind of the Rotherham grooming gangs in 2011, up pops a storyline on SW a year later. Mini cab drivers in London of British Asian origin, grooming schoolgirls from the school gates. The graphics are harrowing of young girls drugged and locked in a room and being used for sex by a stream of Asian men.
It should be shown to young girls in every school as a warning, particularly notice taken of the language used to describe the girls by these men.

It’s Leftist, socialist fascism yet again. The systematic oppression of opposing views (the definition before they changed it to exclusively be ‘right wing oppression’.
I have watched in disbelief as the BBC have run relentless daily articles to get rid of Boris, Truss, Braverman, Zahami and now Raab. They deliberately kept individual points separate so they could run a new headline every day. And when they ran out of those, they ran headlines with quotes from Labour or the Lib Dems. And OFCOM did absolutely nothing. Because they are as politically corrupt as the BBC.
We are living in the modern equivalent of the 1930’s. This time the socialists are doing it on a global scale with the BBC right in the middle of it.

Syria earthquake: Crowds chat ‘God is great’ as family pulled alive from rubble
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-middle-east-64564359
Should be ‘chant’ of course – well done BBC children – but it is far more than a simple chant. It is fanatical religion at work by people who believe 100% that whether they live or die depends entirely on Allahs will.
If you watch ANY video of Muslim terrorists or those involved in causing the deaths of others, they are ALL shouting this repeatedly over and over. In the videos of the war in Syria, hundreds of them scream it at the same time.
Here the BBC try to make is seem like a good thing by using the English version. It was the last thing many infidels heard as their head was removed by ISIS with a knife.

‘How did we investigate online videos and posts about earthquakes hitting Turkey and Syria?’
Gutter level Ambulance chasing ‘journalism’ trying to cash-in on a disaster.
I’ve been reading the BBC reports on this and they are far more interested in ’empathy’ than facts. They take great delight in describing people stood round fires and – I kid you not – ‘nowhere to charge their mobile phones’. Utterly out of context with what has happened.
Exactly the same as their coverage of Ukraine. Nobody who gets their news from the BBC has any sense of what is really happening out there. They think it’s all Russia bombing civilians and babies being rescued.
I honestly believe the ‘new generation’ BBC staff wet their panties and get excited when something like this happens. It’s a chance to write that article they have dreamed of and make their name as someone with true empathy for the plight of others. When in fact it’s nothing more than shallow virtue-signalling and selfish ambition.

SNP MP Stewart McDonald’s emails hacked by Russian group
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-64562832
‘So what’ I thought for the headline but went in just to see which MP we are talking about as the front page just says ‘MP’. I suspected it would not be a Tory because the BBC would only be interested in the actual emails for that.
To my surprise it is a lengthy article padded out with the most pointless detail.
And then:
“An incident has been reported to us and we are providing the individual with support,” a spokesperson for the NCSC told the BBC.
Why on Earth are the BBC following it up ?.
Then we get to the reason this SNP MP has been given this special treatment:
‘”If it is indeed a malicious state-backed group, then, in line with what I’ve seen elsewhere, I expect them to dump some of the information online.
“And I can expect them to manipulate and fake some of that content and I want to get out ahead of that to ensure any disinformation attack against me is discredited before it’s even published,’
There it is : the BBC are already using their reach to defend him against disinformation even before they know what any of it is. Sounds a lot like he has something to hide – which is probably why he was hacked in the first place.
Or maybe they already know and he’s a friend to be protected. You can be absolutely sure a Conservative MP would not be given such treatment.
I particularly like this bit:
‘The British government has not formally accused the Russian state of being behind the group or the hacks but within the wider cyber-security community the group has been identified as linked to Russia’s intelligence services.’
An absolutely typical BBC statement which is designed to make you think something without providing any evidence whatsoever.
By the BBC’s ‘Gordon Corera’ – author of ‘Russians Among Us’ which he proudly advertises on his twitter account right next to telling us he works for the BBC and advertises in a pinned tweet right at the top of his feed.
And linked from it I see:
‘Royal Mail hit by Russia-linked ransomware attack’
No BBC. Not Russia. Russian criminals. Which I freely admit they have plenty. As do we.

What are the Panama Papers?
The files show how Mossack Fonseca clients were able to launder money, dodge sanctions and avoid tax.
In one case, the company offered an American millionaire fake ownership records to hide money from the authorities. This is in direct breach of international regulations designed to stop money laundering and tax evasion.
It is the biggest leak in history, dwarfing the data released by the Wikileaks organisation in 2010. For context, if the amount of data released by Wikileaks was equivalent to the population of San Francisco, the amount of data released in the Panama Papers is the equivalent to that of India.

Danegeld (/ˈdeɪnɡɛld/;[1] “Danish tax”, literally “Dane yield” or tribute) was a tax raised to pay tribute or protection money to the Viking raiders to save a land from being ravaged. It was called the geld or gafol in eleventh-century sources. It was characteristic of royal policy in both England and Francia during the ninth through eleventh centuries, collected both as tributary, to buy off the attackers, and as stipendiary, to pay the defensive forces. The term danegeld did not appear until the late eleventh century. In Anglo-Saxon England tribute payments to the Danes was known as gafol and the levy raised to support the standing army, for the defense of the realm, was known as heregeld (army-tax).

Promoted to top spot in the BBC online press line up this morning we have the celebrity news heavy, left-leaning, advertising freesheet, the Metro.
The world’s most popular free newspaper – runs the masthead motto – I think they mean to say the world’s most widely distributed freebie giveaway.
The revealed preference, for a paper we have to pay for, is of course The Sun
Supermarkets make a science out of the choice of shelf they put the product they most wish to push. Be it own brand or household name.
Top shelf, so to speak, frontpage feature in the Metro today we find: Now Netflix aim to make Duke sweat… Blockbuster show on THAT interview – this show, apparently, is a redo set to be up there with Frost/Nixon, 2008, starring Michael Sheen, scoring a whopping 93% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes (Audiences being almost as keen… 88%)
Truth is out there: X-Files star Gillian Anderson plays Emily Maitlis in Scoop (Metro, photo credits going to: BBC/Rex/Getty)
Personally, I think they’ve flattered her a bit. But we all have our favourites, right?
Jaundiced old Mr AsI would have liked to see this made-for-subscription TV feature-length show titled Interview with the Vampire – homaging Tom Cruise and Brad Pitts’ gothic horror flick rather than nicking the title Scoop, Evelyn Waugh’s satire on foreign journalism (although there’s a certain irony there for the literary-minded). Take your pick as to whether you envisage Andrew or the late-night late-BBC biased bloodsucker as the bigger horror show Vamp.
Aside from showbiz fluff, in terms of news, the Metro goes with: Met rapist gets 30 years ‘A scar on our police’… You used job to take monstrous advantage, says judge
Reminds us of that other London copper Wayne Couzens who identified himself as a police officer and – under cover of Lockdown powers – handcuffed Sarah Everard and placed her in his car before driving her to near Dover where he raped and strangled her, before burning her body and disposing of her remains in a nearby pond.
Whereas that latter shocking case was signalled as a clear sign of toxic masculinity: The toxic culture which led to Sarah Everard’s murder won’t change until men accept this is our issue too (Ian Birrell, feminist ally, writing for inews)
Quite rightly, in that murder case the authorities threw the book – such as it is these days – more flimsy paperback edition than leather-bound tome – at the perp
In July 2022, Couzens’s appeal against his whole-life sentence was rejected by the Court of Appeal
Now our media have a certain unspoken cultural permission with this sort of thing – as exemplified in the more recent case – to go full old-fashioned hang ’em and flog ’em…
Met rapist’s ‘lenient’ sentence to be reviewed… predator police office avoids whole life sentence (Telegraph) – steady on, remember that old saying ‘might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb’

Prevent accused of treating terrorism like a mental illness rather than a threat in official report. Officials have been too focused on addressing the ‘personal vulnerabilities’ of extremists and neglected ideological beliefs, findings say (Telegraph)

JHB “if you have two parents working full-time, on minimum wage, the amount of tax credits, housing benefit another benefits then you’re not living in poverty”
“there’s a gap between, the report says this about that
The answer is some kind of equality
For heating, for a start 92 percent of taxpayers money is going straight to fossil fuel companies,
which are already making a huge profit, so that’s wrong for starters”
What’s she mean there ?
The government gives the poor energy credits, that clearly does NOT go straight to energy companies
The poor are supposed to spend that money on energy
So largely is does go to their energy retailer
who passes it to their suppliers like power stations.
Which is supposed to be a big chunk “renewables” then gas/coal and nuclear.
Those power stations then pay their suppliers like world gas suppliers
So your £1 gets split up with less than 50p being used to pay for fossil fuels.
So I see no 92%.

With the excellent Mark Steyn now constructively dismissed from GB News I wonder if there’s a trick being missed here.
Mark has consistently told truths that other channels keep secret.
He has been told to sign a contract making him liable to be fined by the bbbc led ofcom lefty bunch of crooks.
As he broadcasts the truths others will keep hidden then an ofcom trial would be a great way of getting the truth out into the open.
Just imagine ofcom trying to prove the ‘vaccine’ is as harmless as they want us to believe and Mark brings in hundreds of witnesses such as Vicki Spitt and respected statisticians like Jamie.
How much publicity would that get.
The more they try to get him the deeper in it they get as more inconvenient truths come out.
Even if they managed to fine him I would bet crowdfunding would be set up to pay it. I would definitely contribute.
Sign the contract Mark, get back on GBN and look forward to ofcom trying to silence you.
You have huge support Mark.

Elsewhere – here – someone suggested ‘we’ no longer support GBNews because Steyn has been fired . The poster misses the issue about the lack of support from employees of that station – which some ( me ) consider almost as bad .
Those 2 reasons – as well as the ‘pivot ‘ to the ‘approved’ with kidult presenters – are a combination for me to dump it and hope it fails soon .
To me – it was the last hope – that there might be an alternative view of the world – and not just the woke liberal crap the population has to pay for and endure .
However – if just one presenter goes fully public – on camera – condemning the action of GB news – then there would be a small ‘victory ‘ for the dying ‘free speech ‘…

From John Gatto, it’s not just children that don’t want to know about the real working world anymore. Swap child for adults in the following article …
The children I teach are indifferent to the adult world. This defies the experience of thousands of years. A close study of what big people were up to was always the most exciting occupation of youth, but nobody wants to grow up these days and who can blame them? Toys are us. … Time for a return to democracy, individuality, and family. I’ve said my piece. Thank you. {naturalchild.org – john gatto – jan1990}

The trouble is that Mark would not conduct his own defence, GB News would. Since their compliance officer is “Ofcom’s bitch”, Mark can clearly have no confidence in their defence, added to which they proposed that he personally would have to pay any fines. I can quite see why he told them to stuff it.

Stop it – you are reminding me about our pet troll who demonstrated how much he hates our history when he tried to say the ex-comedian Zelensky wearing an olive drab shirt for official state visits it is the same as when ex-soldier Churchill wore a boiler suit for comfort when working.
What a farce this is – and it’s embarassing how we are going along with it.
I wonder where maxi has got to and if he is wears a clown suit when he meets important people (eg at the DHSS office for another interview).

JohnC,
“…who demonstrated how much he hates our history…”
Yeah, whatever you say, John. The photo was of Churchill wearing one of his “siren suits” (not a boiler suit) and was taken when he met with Roosevelt at the White House.
1 likes
‘Similar in style to boilersuits worn by many workers, including mechanics, bricklayers, and tank crews to protect their standard clothing, the siren suit was invented by Winston Churchill’
‘The siren suit allowed Churchill to be woken in the middle of the night, either as a result of an air raid or pressing news, and be dressed within a minute, hence its name siren suit. In fact Churchill had worn similar garments before the war including boiler suits and overalls for both work around Chartwell and painting. ‘
‘In Washington in 1943 to see President Roosevelt, Churchill wore his famous siren suit, which he delightedly displayed for American cameramen. This suit, which he had specially made, could, he claimed, be zipped on in less than a minute, thus saving valuable time for decisions of state.’
Tell me in what way this is equivalent to Zelensky wearing an olive drab T-shirt for every state visit (including when addressing our government) with no other motive apart from to make everyone think this comedian with no military experience whatsoever is paying a quick visit from the front line ?.
You make what you are very obvious when you post maxi. But like the BBC, you are so full of hate you cannot see it.

In what way is Zelensky wearing a faux military uniform for the media equivalent to Churchill wearing a faux military uniform for the media? This is your question? Seriously?

It doesn’t really matter to me
but all photos show that when Churchill was inside addressing Congress in 1941 he was wearing formal attire with a bow tie.
Such dress is conventional, but it’s theatrical too.

I have to agree with the Mail. I find it hugely insulting to the country I was born in (however bad I think it is), when I listen to immigrants (British passports or not) who have arrived here at any age – in Rajan’s case when he was 3, and who start castigating these lands and the Royal Family as irrevelant !
How bloody dare they ! yes we have our faults as does the RF, but their parents were quick enough to come here like scalded c….ks, when the opportunity arose. Would Rajan and his ilk have the cushy jobs they have now if it wasn’t for the monarchy stamped on our passports ? no. My blood boils when these ‘aliens to our land” start complaining. Ungrateful gits. And yes I would say that to Rajan’s face.

PMQ’s today. Starmer attempted to upstage Sunak today with a serial series of “questions” praising Ukraine and Zelensky. An all too obvious attempt to upstage Sunak and the Government. To me Starmer made himself look like the prick lawyer he is.
Sunak missed an open goal by not bringing up the Communist and Russian sympathisers in the Labour bench. Corbyn was one of them and Starmer was at his side.
