Let’s hear it for Lucy Fraser . Lucy is the new ‘culture secretary ‘ – the last one lasted about 4 months . Good for your pension Lucy – let’s be sure you’ll be a good / bad as previous ‘culture secretaries ‘ …. It may be a sign that the current socialist government doesn’t care too much about stuff like the BBC or OFCOM or the end of free speech . Just imagine – they still have a great big majority …

    Just reflecting a bit on the zelensky show love in – you’d have never known the liberal establishment was so war loving . Give zelensky tanks – planes – make Salisbury a target for Russians ( again ) cos that’s where the army is being trained .

    Putin must be working up options to punish UK above the rest for being so enthusiastic and unquestioning about Ukraine . Don’t get me wrong – I see Russia as a toilet – putin should be dead – and that country should be punished for the Cold War – and always treated at a distance ….
    But the sort of fan worship on display today was a bit sickening …

    No crown for King Charles on new stamp
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-64554857

    Among King Charles’s many titles are Defender of the Faith – a title bestowed on Henry VIII by the pope, and retained after England broke with Rome – and supreme governor of the Church of England. His mother took these roles seriously.

    Not BBC, but I notice that “Vera” is still on a march to become the wokest cop show on TV.

    The last episode included a white and black lesbian couple, a tranny being beaten by her horrible white boyfriend, a black African sergeant-major, and a woman commanding an infantry regiment (she was white and therefore a bitch).

    I may have missed a few. The show’s depiction of the multiracial, multicultural LBGTQIA+ wonderland which is Newcastle never ceases to amaze.

          I gave up on it ages ago because of how woke it went. If you saw any black people within the fist 5 minutes, they ALWAYS turned out to be major characters in the plot.

          I did try a newer one – but within 2 minutes, we had another mixed race couple. In Newcastle where the black population is <1%.

      “The social collapse is quantifiably happening. Every sociological indicator, from marriage and divorce rates, to single parenthood, to birthrates, is alarming. It is nearly impossible to bury your head in the sand and pretend it is not happening. Everyone can see it. Our cities are uninhabitable slums surrounded by ugliness, trash, crime, and mentally ill vagrants. The high-trust communities you once knew, the Mayberry’s where you could leave your door unlocked at night, seem like the stuff of legend. The stable, orderly, high-trust civilization your ancestors built is gone.”

      Outrageously misleading more like.

      They confirmed it by stating the missile was Russian-made. They didn’t mention that they are all Russian-made, including the ones Ukraine has.

      It’s pretty obvious it was a mistake by someone on the ground who was in a war zone. A mix of criminal negligence and incompetence by some grunts in positions they should never have been. But nobody (except Muslims) deliberately shoots down an airliner full of civilians.

      The real question which should be asked (and isn’t) is why this plane was flying over there in the first place. I read it was because Ukraine didn’t close down the airspace because they wanted the money the airlines pay to use it.

      The most serious “misinformation” comes from OFCOM. OFCOM insists that GB News presenters follow findings that mRNA jabs are injuring and killing millions of people world-wide from cardiologists, virologists, statisticians and victims of the mRNA jab, with misinformation that the jab is “Safe & Effective”. Neil Oliver says “Safe & Effective” and then “there you are” with a smile. Dan Wootton says “Safe & Effective” while rolling his eyes. Laurence Fox says “Safe & Effective” with a robotic voice. But Mark Steyn refused to say “Safe & Effective” and had to go. But Mark could have stayed at GB News if he put on a “false Pinocchio nose” before saying “Safe & Effective” with a robotic voice.

        The “hockey stick” graph of global temperatures is the single most influential icon in the global-warming debate, promoted by the UN’s transnational climate bureaucracy, featured in Al Gore’s Oscar-winning movie, used by governments around the world to sell the Kyoto Accord to their citizens, and shown to impressionable schoolchildren from kindergarten to graduation.

        And yet what it purports to “prove” is disputed and denied by many of the world’s most eminent scientists. In this riveting book, Mark Steyn has compiled the thoughts of the world’s scientists, in their own words, on hockey-stick creator Michael E Mann, his stick and their damage to science. From Canada to Finland, Scotland to China, Belgium to New Zealand, from venerable Nobel Laureates to energetic young researchers on all sides of the debate analyze the hockey stock and the wider climate wars it helped launch.

    Ben Wallace The Secretary of State for Defence
    Colleagues may have read reports this weekend about activity conducted by the Army’s counter-disinformation unit in 77th Brigade.

    Online disinformation from foreign state actors is a serious threat to the United Kingdom. That is why during the pandemic we brought together expertise from across Government to monitor disinformation about covid.

    The 77th Brigade is a hybrid unit of regular and reserve personnel that was established in 2015. It delivers information activities as part of broader military effects against hostile state actors and violent extremist organisations based outside the UK. It uses publicly available data, including material shared on social media platforms, to assess UK disinformation trends. It is not to be involved in regulating, policing or even reporting opinion that it may or may not agree with.

    The Secretary of State referred to the allegations in the weekend press about 77th Brigade. I know him well enough to know that when he told us that he gave clear instructions and guidelines to the brigade, which operates only against foreign powers and extremists, he was telling the exact truth. However, will he review the issue and ensure that his guidelines have been followed in all cases?

    A former Labour MP has been found guilty of making fraudulent expenses claims – with the money being used to fund a cocaine habit while in office.

    Jared O’Mara was convicted of six counts of fraud after attempting to claim roughly £24,000 of taxpayers’ money on his “extravagant lifestyle”. The 41-year-old operated as an MP for the Sheffield Hallam constituency from 2017 to 2019.

    Look, I have to be honest, I didn’t watch the first episode of the BBCs new ten week, woke propaganda piece, The Shamima Begum Story, complete with violin accompaniment… I was busy washing my hair… All three of them…

    This has to be a new all-time low even for our state broadcaster…and there have been quite a few… Giving airtime to a terrorist! FFS, It’s beyond disgusting. I’d go as far as saying it’s actually treacherous. It’s just as well the Yanks took out Jihadi John otherwise, by now, he’d be hosting a comedy set on BBC2. I can just see him sitting there, between Jo Brand and Ian Hislop, swapping quips about beheading infidels and Tory cuts. What a laugh…

    The same people that applaud the “Beeb’s bravery” and open-minded approach and tell us that we have hear all points of view are spitting nails at Jeremy Clarkson and wanting him given a lifetime ban from our TV screens.
    Do I detect just a hint of double standards?

    Still, in the interests of balance, impartiality and fair play, next month the BBC have promised us a sympathetic biographical piece on the life and times of Tommy Robinson.

      Is half of Ukraine really worth the price ?. The scaremongering that Russia will continue across Europe is absolute nonsense. They will not attack any major NATO or EU country after the bloody nose they have been given unless they absolutely consider it to be a case of life or death. And then it really is game over.

        Working on the assumption that we only get the approved version of propaganda /lies -it seems to me that Russia will ‘win’ ( gain and keep some territory ) just on the numbers of fighters – unless = of course – young Russian boys are no longer attracted by the excitement and glamour and medals and glory which always fools them in the first place ….
        We prebs don’t know how good the propaganda is in Russia – and whether Russians think they are the underdog up against the soulless west – led by an election thief .

        Can anyone really see our tanks getting there and doing much ? Yet alone fighter jets ? 2025?2026 ?

        Meanwhile putin has huge resources to call on flogging oil to anyone who wants it and planning revenge on NATO .
        the more I think of the zelensky show in their Westminster the more I think it reminds me of when that mental scandanavian teenage girl turned up to talk green crap and ‘politicians ‘ fell over trying to get effing selfies ….
        If that war escalates – either intentionally or accidentally – this sort of spectacle might well be seen to be a link in the chain of causation .

    A very interesting read and I wonder if the BBC recognise their own guilt in the complete farce ‘Prevent’ is.

    Of particular note is the line:

    ‘While eight out of 10 plot investigations were linked to Islamist causes, less than a fifth of Prevent’s caseload was in the same area, he said. Too often, he argued, there was “a culture of timidity” when it came to tackling Islamism.’

    Hot on the heels of the BBC informing us a couple of weeks ago that the far-right are responsible for 59% of something or other directly inferring they are the biggest threat.

    Hang your heads in shame BBC. You have a lot of blood on your hands.

    BBC interviews Labour MP six years ago as *rising star*

    But times do change… The Guardian seem unimpressed.

    O’Mara was said to be “shit-faced” when he was interviewed by BBC Look North. Arnold accused him of drinking a whole bottle of vodka before it. The MP denied being drunk but footage of the interview, tracked down by the Guido Fawkes website, does not help his cause. O’Mara is clearly slurring as he speaks of his intention to stand in the 2019 election. Arnold recalled O’Mara’s parents telling him that O’Mara was not just drunk, he was “hammered”.

    O’Mara almost never went to the constituency office in Sheffield and very rarely went to parliament, the court heard. His friend John Woodliff, a former bouncer and milkman who said he acted as a kind of personal assistant, would go to O’Mara’s house and “pretty much get him up because he just lay in bed all day”.

    Woodliff told police he was in effect a dogsbody who would drive O’Mara to the shops and tidy up his used pizza boxes. Sometimes he had to get O’Mara ready, putting his shoes and socks on, because the MP had ripped tendons in his arm and was incapacitated on one side.:

    I don’t usually read The ‘Grauniad’ but when the BBC is involved, you know it makes sense. Plus the fact they are struggling due to being hacked my the Chinese gangsters. Lack of security, apparently…

    The BBC still pumping out the 10 part propaganda series so tellingly called ‘I’m not a monster’….kind of gives the game away as to how the not-a-monster subject may well be portrayed….and they don’t disappoint as they try to turn Shamima Begum into some kind of celebrity victim.

    We must, we are told, put aside our [no doubt bigoted and partisan] feelings about her ‘politics’…she was after all a child and it is all very sad…..we must look upon it as a human story.

    This is of course a relentless drive by the BBC to make you sympathetic towards her and to feel sorry for her…sorry enough to let her back into the UK…the UK that she hated so much she decamped to a full-on Islamic state with torture, rape, beheadings and mass murder.

    Begum doesn’t just get a R4 programme devoted to her but after every episode being broadcast Naga Munchetty and the maker of the programme, Josh Baker, get together on 5 Live to continue telling us how sad it all is and what a victim she is….somehow doubt Naga would be so keen to empathise with a terrorist if the terrorist was white and Far-Right as opposed to brown and Islamic.

    Someone messaged the Muncher and asked ‘who radicalised Begum as they were the real danger’…yeah…good question…..it was her religion, her family, her community and those, like the BBC, who portray Britain and the West as racist, anti-Muslim, imperialist, toxic and basically evil…a place where no ethnic minority could live and prosper in safety.

    She didn’t just suddenly turn….the groundwork was laid long before she looked at any social media posts…..you don’t find these posts by accident, you have to look for them…and to look for them you have to be looking for something…something that has been planted in your mind already…by your religion, community, family and toxic media ‘reporting’…such as the BBC’s reporting about Israel, about the various Middle East wars and about Britain’s past…the BBC pushing exactly the same line that ISIS pushes…that Britain ‘carved up the Middle East’ under Sykes Picot [no we didn’t] and caused all the problems we have now.

    Begum is a ‘monster’ created by her own culture which shaped her mindset and beliefs….topped off by the BBC’s extreme reporting….she is no innocent ‘child’ who stumbled her way to the Islamic State and forced into doing things she didn’t want to do…she knew what was going on and didn’t care…she volunteered but now wants to disclaim all knowledge and culpability…and the BBC is there for her.

    I see a Polish rapist was given £110,000 in legal aid….wonder how much the BBC’s own version of legal aid is worth to Begum…sure that’s what the licence fee payers want their money spent on.

    There are partisan lies and there are partisan whoppers..

    https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/feb/08/prevent-review-far-right-islamist-extremism-shawcross

    I would force these bloody newspapers to publish figures of people murdered by far right v Islamic twats in this country.

    They are trying to invent far right bogey men who don’t actually exist to provide cover for the evil forces of the real despicable twats of Islam. It’s a left wing tactic that is used over and over again.

    How on Earth could any reputable UK news outlet possibly stick up for a murderous bunch of maniac zealots who’s ambition is to eradicate or subjugate western society?

    The Guardian is pretty much a traitorous anti UK organisation and sadly supported by the elite liberals who’s heads will be amongst the first to lose attachment to their bodies should their favoured mates ever seize control.

    No doubt when that moment comes they will all welcome and applaud the nasty white blokes trying to save their hideous hides.

    Bloody idiots!

    The BBC are proud to announce the return of Fawlty Towers, giving the story some prominence in the Entertainment section of their webshite.

    But they might not be so pleased when they see the remake. John Cleese leans conservative and is known to despise Wokeness in all its forms, including Auntie.

    In a recent interview, he had this to say:

    ‘Cleese, 82, said he had not been offered a BBC show but would definitely turn it down if he was.
    “The BBC have not come to me and said, ‘would you like to have some one-hour shows?’ And if they did, I would say, ‘Not on your nelly.’ Because I wouldn’t get five minutes into the first show before I’d been cancelled or censored.”
    Cleese said he had instead accepted an offer to host a show on GB News.’

    Until I came across one infected with usual the ubiquitous socialist, twisted shite, (I found out it was hosted by Herts Council, who must have insisted on infecting it with their poison).

    It seems one cannot avoid it nowadays regardless of the subject matter, even a website dedicated to pictures and memories of long ago.

    Some days I love ‘today ‘ .

    Comrade Robinson interviewing a comrade – a dragon – from The Whitby Community Collective -( I could see the red flag ).

    She wants people to not buy homes . No holiday lets – or compulsory registration – rationing – added taxes – declared businesses . Just Stopped .

    Her interests are more important than disgusting people with money ( outsiders ) coming in and buying houses . Families can’t get homes – the school has closed ….

    Comrade Robinson didn’t say whether any BBC have second homes – but was very sympathetic . There was no challenge – no criticism – good socialist stuff

    ( declaration – I do not have a UK second holiday home )

    I think the community dragon might have more to moan about when the Turks / Albanians start getting dumped on Whitby …

    Now, the vast majority of UK residents concerned about benefit thieves, also known as “asylum seekers” are, according to the socialist libtard council, “right wing extremists”

    Right-wing extremists target Herts hotels sheltering asylum seekers
    29th November 2022

    https://www.thecomet.net/news/23157211.right-wing-extremists-target-herts-hotels-sheltering-asylum-seekers/

    “There has been an extreme right-wing presence at several hotels in Hertfordshire,” says the report.

    “This has included filming of hotels and hotel residents, which is then subsequently posted online on group channels, as well as leafletting anti-immigration narrative in residential areas to alert residents to the fact that asylum seekers are being accommodated in their area. ”

    Reported in the same newspaper that has no qualms about publishing pictures of other criminals breaking the law, and from a council that does the same with benefit claimants claiming what they are not entitled to.

    The government review of the effectiveness of the PREVENT strategy is surprisingly published so that those who funded it – taxpayers – can see it .

    William Shawcross has done a fine job on it – but no gong for him. This is because – he implicitly identifies that we are at war with extreme Islam .

    He describes the sort of stuff regularly described here – and includes the methods used by out Muslim enemies to undermine prevent and those trying to divert ‘young Muslim men’ from blowing up the ‘unapproved ‘ . I don’t think apologists like the bbc get a mention because of terms of reference –
    But even by not reporting – sufficiently – in detail – what the report says – proves what side of this war the BBC is on – having been infiltrated long ago ….

    There will be no ‘mark Eastons’ popping up – no documentaries – just a gap between the next Manchester bombing ….

    I love the extent of the BBC hypocrisy in this story:

    MP Lee Anderson: New deputy Tory chairman clashes with radio presenter
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-64573457

    But a microphone picks up Mr Anderson telling a voter not to tell the film crew he is a friend when they knock on his door.

    “There is a worry by some that you might be a bit dishonest,” Cowley says.

    “I’m talking about that video that you did where you asked a friend to pose as an anti-Labour swing voter.”

    “We’ve established you’re dishonest and you tell lies.’

    This from the BBC who have been caught numerous times using Left wing activists as ‘general public’ for major topics like Brexit to an audience of millions !!. A thousand times worse. And nothing whatsoever from OFCOM.

    The BBC are the most breathtaking of hypocrites. They have no ethics or sense of shame whatsoever.

    YOU are the biggest, most dishonest of liars of anyone BBC. And you are the lowest of snakes in what you do to prevent anybody knowing.
