        Danish far-right leader Paludan jailed for racism
        https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-53185194

        ‘He faced 14 charges, including racism, defamation and dangerous driving.’

        No details of course, just labels. Because that’s how the BBC and the Left work now. ‘Racism’ and ‘sexual assault’ sound terrible – but these days can be the most innocuous of things. But I think we can get a rough idea by the fact ‘dangerous driving’ is also in the list.

        This is how the facist Left deal with opposition now. They get locked up. Tommy Robinson style. What was the worst thing he did which the BBC thought worth mentioning as why he was jailed ?:

        ‘The court found him guilty of defaming a woman of Somali origin at a demonstration by insinuating she was a prostitute, Danish media report.’

        Interestingly I found the ‘BBC News Pidgin’ facebook joke covered him as well. And it’s full of hate with comments like:

        ‘MUMU Man millions of people don memorized the Quran and every day the number is increasing, you better stop fighting with God purified. If you refuse God go punish you soon.’

        And apparently this kind of threat is fine for the BBC. Because make no mistake, when they say ‘God will punish you’ they mean they will carry out what they think is the will of God. And they will absolutely think they are doing the right thing.

      Fair enough to oppose Islam and Islamisation orf Europe, but the real evil that has risen in the West is that it no longer is a Christian nation. Along with that goes faith that underpins Western civilisation.

      The north bit of America is going towards first towards a Leftoist then finally to a totalitarian communist country ( Great Reset). Canada is the worst. Its not not just an atheist country but a violently anti- Christian one.

      https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2023/03/tucker_carlson_calls_out_the_professional_christians_.html

      Russia like Poland had to contend with a violently atheist communist totalitarian government. They are now Christian nations and on the repair.

      Pres Putin warned us almost 20 years ago, that allowing large numbers of Muslims into Europe, would lead to the destruction of Christian Europe, and all that comes from it.

    The BBC commitment to bias runs deep. The pro mass immigration agenda is strong.

    On Toady on Sunday.
    7am news features the government plan to reduce illegal asylum seekers on the rubber cross channel ferries. For the moment let’s ignore how ineffective this will probably be.

    No. Let’s note that the news featured opposition to the likely scheme, and the carefully selected spokesperson was from a charity/ pressure group called ‘Freedom from Torture’.

    We now move on to the 0750 charity appeal and by an amazing coincidence guess which charity was chosen to present their appeal? You got it. It was the very same ‘Freedom from Torture’.

    Then on the 8am news, the story was repeated with the same opposition from ‘Freedom from Torture’

    So. Not too difficult to work out where the BBC stands on this issue! Maybe even Sue Grey could work it out.

      I also heard one of the “charities” or pressure groups spokesperson ( Red Cross I think ) say that the migrants – bogus asylum seekers – dont know what the UK immigration and asylum system is and any preventative measures wont deter them { from leaving France to settle here } .

      She probably said that with a straight face .

      The BBC didnt question her about the illogicality of her statement

      It’s all a ruse just to keep the voters thinking that, ‘they’ are at least doing something.

      As any sane person knows, to resign from the ECHR will mean additional difficulty when this Government or one in the not too distant future, lead us back in the EU. It is a prerequisite of EU Membership that all members subscribe to the Soros’ ECHR. Indeed this Government & the Opposition (by agreement no doubt) will see a problem in re-joining the EU if Soros’/ECHR get ‘funny’ over any attempt at re-joining the Soros ECHR and effectively block any such attempt. Therefore best not to leave.

      Btw, ask Nigel Lawson how he buckled against Soros.

      Its all a sick joke.

      If you wonder what is happening to agriculture in the Netherlands look at our supermarket shelves. The preponderance of highly processed vegan food. There is plant food butter (used to be called margarine), vegan cheese ‘contains coconut oil’ it announces on the front of the packet (high in cholesterol), vegan mayonnaise (not eggs and olive oil then), plant food chicken fillets (dread to think what it actually is) oat milk, soya milk, almond milk and so on. I want food which I know what it is and what it contains. Then of course the EU has already approved beetle powder in many foods including bread sticks. The list is long but this sneaky one stuck in my mind. Do you remember the foods of the 1960s like Angel Delight, bright red fizzy pop and shipphams sandwich spread? Those foods seem healthy compared to today’s vegan offerings. The next non covid health crisis is just round the corner. Why don’t the BBC do one of their investigation programmes on it? Probably because they are all vegan.

        I saw a preview for this week’s “Apprentice”. The business morons are tasked with making a new dog food. One of the teams decides to use insects. A couple of years ago, this would not have occurred to anyone. It would have been absurd even to contemplate it. But now it’s on a mainstream show. Only for dogs now, but next year they will be putting it into our food. You know it.

      I applaud her for having a go and making a living. I am sure the fact that she is a disabled lesbian may have something to do with the BBC’s love for her. But her disability means she takes an age to tell a joke, and when she reaches the punchline, it’s not funny. So full marks for trying, but don’t play the Glasgow Empire.

    I’m afraid I’ve reached the point where I cannot trust my own government OR the BBC to give me any updates on the path we are being forced to walk towards World War 3 in Ukraine. It’s propaganda on the scale of World War 2. We haven’t changed one bit.

    ‘Ukraine war: Russian reservists fighting with shovels – UK defence ministry’
    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-64855760

    But then we are told: “armed with only ‘firearms and shovels'”

    So they have guns then. I epxect they are actually those instead of the shovels. And perhaps the shovels are to dig shell-scrapes or something after they get there.

    And they tell me that Russia has no ammunition – with the inference being that Ukraine have plenty. Quite the opposite from what I’ve been reading recently.

    And of course every one of these stories has the standard tag line at the end:

    ‘The BBC has been unable to independently verify these reports. The ministry did not give information on where such battles were taking place.’

    Interestingly – as so often happens these days – I see this article has appeared simultaneously across many news outlets.

      JohnC,
      The part of the video below that’s relevant to your post starts at about 3:50.
      Never having fought in a war I wouldn’t know, but I imagine there are many situations where an entrenching tool is just as lethal as a gun.
      American 2nd Amendment advocates call it the ’21-foot rule,’ meaning due to reaction time an attacker with a knife presents a real danger to someone with a gun if they’re within 21 feet of them.

      • JohnC says:

        You are quite correct TC – the point here is that the shovel is their ‘weapon of choice’ in such conditions, not because they don’t have ammunition as we are being told.

        Having served myself – during the cold war – I can say that a rifle would not be the first choice when you have to aim it quick – they are heavier than they look. And the fighting in Bahkmut (which are not being told about) is very much close quarters for both sides and I can’t imagine a more horrific place to be. It will be like a buffet at Alans Snackbar.

        What I find most interesting is that in those days, we did a lot of training was for chemical warfare which seems to be completely ignored now.

        Google does have claims of chemicals being used – but reasonable articles are very hard to find from that route.

        This report is the most ‘lucid’ one I could find:

        DPR Chief warns Ukrainian forces use drone-dropped chemical weapons
        https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/dpr-chief-warns-ukrainian-forces-use-drone-dropped-chemical

        Any from Western media are absolutely useless. This is a typical headline:

        ‘Without giving evidence, Russia says it probes Ukraine use of chemical weapons’

        Contrast with the BBC trick of presenting Ukrainian statements as fact then adding the ‘The BBC could not independently verify …’ right at the end.

        Though I’m sure they won’t use nerve gas or anything as it will be very easy to prove. These are just incapacitating agents designed to reduce the fighting ability.

    A video full of typical luvvie cretins – all of whome would be sent ahead on Golgafrinchan Ark Fleet Ship B. They are all pathetic, self-obsessed idiots.

    But my favourite part in this video is how the female BBC reporter spends most of it filming herself in an arm chair telling us the story – when a voice-over was more than sufficient.

    But the best bit is how she sits with the camera on herself in her big chair like Esther Rantzen and calls him : ‘a self obsessed show-off who would do anything to boost his own fame’ whilst trying her hardest to act the story with some emotion. Pot kettle.

    What a lot of nonsense ! What if they arrive in a ‘big’ boat ?
    This silly government needs to realise that no matter how many laws they make up, the invaders are illegal !
    Therefore, they do not care about British laws and the only way to stop them is by Force.

    Chris Kaba: Family of man shot dead by police call for answers
    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-64853533

    So he was driving a car flagged as being involved in a ‘firearms incident’, refused to stop for the police then tried to ram his way through a roadblock and towards a firearms officer who shot him through the windscreen. Though the BBC describe it as ‘there was contact between the Audi and police vehicles’ which removes any inference of intent.

    This from a man who already spent time in jail for carrying a knife and also ‘served with a 28-day domestic violence protection order relating to the mother of his unborn child barring him from contacting her on social media or entering the street where she lives.’

    When his family saw the video, they were so overcome with grief, they immediately asked for his expensive watch back.

    But the BBC do their usual trick here. All of that is brushed under the carpet and they concentrate on empathy and currying up sympathy.

    Sounds a lot to me like a violent thug’s luck finally ran out. Whatever colour his skin is. Perhaps his dad should reflect more on what his son might have been like if he brought him up better.

    But of course we all know what this is about. Lawyers and compensation for the family and anti-white racism from all the activists. The BBC most definitely included in the latter.

    Is domestic violence racist ? it seems to be so prevalent with afro carribeans….

    “How Domestic Violence Varies by Ethnicity

    In fact, according to the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey, approximately four out of 10 non-Hispanic Black women, American Indian, or Alaskan Native women, and one in two multi-racial non-Hispanic women have been a victim of physical violence, rape, and/or stalking by a partner in their lifetime. This rate is 30 to 50% higher than what is experienced by White non-Hispanic, Hispanic, and Asian women.”

    Those threats would be the USA and ourselves ramping up weapons production then BBC. Funny how you were unable to join those dots.

    ‘It was announced at the National People’s Congress (NPC), a rubber-stamp parliament, which is due to confirm President Xi Jinping’s third term.’

    That made me laugh because it is exactly what the EU parliament is. But the BBC would never say it. They get to vote for the leader chosen behind closed doors.

    What is extremely worrying at this point is the extreme rhetoric being fed to people against Russia and China by the BBC and their multi-billion pound empire stretching around the globe (paid for by the UK license fee whether the people like it or not). It was OK when they were a proper news source – but now they have hijacked it as a platform for left-wing activism.

    To put this in perspective BBC News 24 boasted just six million viewers for a 3-minute ‘reach‘ (MrAsI would often feel like a good retch after a 3-minute dose of BBC News – when he still had a TV Licence) this during a weekly period – over two decades ago. (Parliamentary Select Committee on Culture, Media and Sport Minutes of Evidence, 1999)

    The evidently popular Metro does a frontpage graphic revamp today taking the bold step of dispensing with adverts on its cover. They’ll be plenty of supermarkets, cell phone companies and estate agents promoting their wares inside.

    Aside from a football score: 7-0 Liverpool annihilate Man United – we are presented with a three-way split of frontpage features.

    The top story is illustrated with a bold colour photo of a giant sea turtle. I’m reminded of Jacques Cousteau, co-inventer of the aqua-lung and populariser of the red woollen beanie hat together with his internationally popular TV series The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau

    Marine conservation sounds a generally good thing and represents a rallying call to Metro’s target youthful and rather socialistically educated market: The tide is turning – runs the Metro headline. It’s important to keep these young Greenies and Marxism-curious consumers on board with a win now and again. A constant diet of Greta’s moaning that the world is coming to an abrupt end might put them off their shopping.

    This is a story that could reasonably be called news: ‘Biggest conservation win ever’ as world unites to agree deal to save the oceans – that quote coming from Greenpeace [Liked by 50% Disliked by 17% Neutral 24% YouGov]

    Now the Metro concerns itself with a couple of rather less newsy features. Race is a big thing these days. The word racist is everywhere in our culture.

    Watching a Netflix movie set during the 1938 Munich Crisis – not a complete throwaway item – Jeremy Irons played Neville Chamberlain – one caught a line that jarred anachronistically. In a flashback to 1932 one character referred to the National Socialist German Workers’ Party as a band of: ‘thugs and racists

    Fair comment. But surely even as recently as the 1960s and 1970s the word regular folk used was racialist.

    But racist is the term du jour and so we have it everywhere, broadcast universally at us through every medium: Heavy Rock Comic Chris takes a look at claims of royal racism (Metro) – because of course South Carolina-born American stand-up comedian Chris Rock is our go-to royal commentator. Move over Nicholas Witchell, Jenny Bond and Johnny Dymond

    The Metro loves celebrity. For our next issue they go with a cause for concern combo with celebrity: Autism and me. Christine McGuiness is proud to speak out

    In case you were wondering, the Mirror explains: Christine: I stayed with Paddy too long. I was unhappy. Facing the future. Christine McGuiness.

    So that’s how the corporates see their consumers’ interests – Green, race-obsessed, celebrity-obsessed and keen on personal issues with a quasi-medical label.

    To the pink paper…

    The Financial Times has suffered a severe arse-ache since Brexit – and they’re keen to tell us all about it at every opportunity – scouring the land from top to bottom, from Lands End to John O Groats to find problems with Brexit: Hill farmers find grass was greener with EU subsidies

    I don’t know what all this fuss about Channel migrant boats is all about?

    Apparently we’re not concerned about immigration anymore: Datawatch. The UK has U-turned on immigration compared with 13 years ago, according to a study by King’s College London. In 2009 75 per cent of Britons born before 1945 felt employers should prioritise native-born workers now 38 per cent do. (FT) – they don’t tell us what percentage think employers ought to actually prioritise foreign-born workers. That may not be a negligible figure given our rapidly changing demographics. People tend to wish to look after their own.

    So that’s all ok then. I’ll have to break off there. I’ve got to pop out to the shops.

    8am BBC Radio Humberside newsPR about the plan to ban dinghy divers from asylum process
    “some charities say that it goes against international rules about human rights
    that people have a right to safety if they are escaping violence or danger”

    … Doh France IS safe.

    #2 “some charities”
    The news item fails to name the charities
    .. therefore it’s misleading

    Same applies for the headline about farmers
    The item is probably PRasNews for a charity, so that headline should name the charity.

    The phrasing is similar to the way school bullies speak to amplify their claims
    eg “PEOPLE say you smell” “EVERYONE says you smell”

    I am constantly amazed by the way in which Islam is indulged in this country.
    Imagine that 21 st century overwhelmingly secular Britain was being invaded by hundreds of thousands fundamentalist intolerant Christians each year. These invaders deemed that anyone who didn’t attended their church wasn’t a fully functioning human being. If you scuffed a copy of the Bible you were fair game for severe physical punishment . The male invaders felt it was their right to molest and rape young women not of their sect.
    The list goes on and on . But our various governments over the past thirty years had told us that the fundamentalist Christians must be protected and were more sinned against than sinned and that we must learn to accommodate these zealots anyone who protested was punished.

    Do you think that we would have have meekly accepted this?

    For the sake of absolute clarity.
    Some do-goody two shoes charities want unlimited ‘asylum seekers’ to be welcomed because they, the do-gooders, are well-meaning if muddle-headed liberals.

    The Far Left want unlimited asylum seekers in order to put such a heavy weight on the market economy that it will fail and/ or the resulting lack of expenditure on ordinary public services will foment public discord.

    And then out of the ashes of the failed market economy, Marxism will find a new home.

    That, my friends, is the deal.

      Even now in some back streets in Manchester you can find an old building which has not been cleaned. It will be black with soot. In the 1960s every building was black. That was air pollution. Air so full of soot the buildings were black.

      I defy anyone to say that we have serious air pollution now compared to then. Snowflake morons like “Mayor Burnham” are using bogus air pollution fear to create an anti car lockdown and 15 minute cities, in other words, keep the serfs confined to their neighbourhoods. He can stick it.

        GB News broke broadcasting rules, Ofcom says, by ‘presenting a materially misleading interpretation’ of official Covid data on the Mark Steyn show.
        Ofcom has found the Mark Steyn programme, which aired on GB News on 21 April 2022, in breach of our broadcasting rules.

        GB News argued to Ofcom that if the offending edition of Mark Steyn’s show “was guilty of anything, it was nothing more than a rather forceful tone” Fqh6v0sXoAAd-o4?format=jpg&name=small

        Someone said Jamie Jenkins appeared on the prog that day or another and corrected Steyn

    Dickie – thank you for the link . In interesting read . However it makes dangerous assumptions – such as the claim that we live in a democracy . I don’t accept that .

    It doesn’t highlight the benefit of the Oakeshott revelations – that we see – unfiltered – ministerial / spad attitudes – something which the public inquiry would filter out and sanitise .
    And what Oakeshott does is to start the evaluation of what was done to us and whether it was right .

    But the article does skirt around the danger of having the wrong – inadequate – people in charge . Johnson and Hancock were the ideal politicians NOT to be in charge in a pandemic .

    We needed people who could do detail and reason and realise the real consequences of their unquestioned decisions – both short and long term .

      In my opinion Isabel Oakeshott is being used as a “Useful Idiot”. Articles by statisticians and on conservativewoman.co.uk confirm this assumption.

      The evidence for this is mounting up. First, the most important is the continued censorship of the half million mRNA jab injured and dead.

    There must be hundreds of organisations doing the immigrant/refugee/etc thing.
    Each one must be getting £millions from all the do gooders/virtue signallers and other charities so in reality they must have a vast combined wealth.

    Why don’t they buy an Island or a part of a Country with all this wealth.
    They could then have the safe place that all these people fleeing murderous persecution (in France for example) could relocate to where they will not be slaughtered.

    The do gooders may want to rule this new Country as their Utopia where everything is brilliant in a melting pot of grateful beings. Full of Doctors, Engineers, Rocket Scientists and all the others we are told who really want to work, they will quickly become a wonderful rich land of plenty. After all, each one that comes here pays more in than he takes out so the model can’t fail.

    Instead of these Doctors cramming onto a rubber dinghy and crossing the Med/Channel I bet most places would assist this cream of humanity to go to their new Jerusalem.

    What’s not to like.

    R5 now on the Marianna/Panorama/Twitter thing, with a woman from the International Centre for Journalists worried in a very BBC way about social media companies “abrogation of responsibility to focus on human rights…”

    Reporting has degraded so far into pure activism that you can assume the journalism industry now accepts this needs to be front and centre in social media going forward. Anyway Musk’s purchase of Twitter seems to be reviving 6th-form sociologist’s job prospects, and human rights angels after a few years absence, when we were all told to stay at home and get injected with experimental biotech and no one gave a stuff. Naturally Nihal ponders whether government regulation may be the only way to rein in these new media gangsters who are just letting people chat about things that the BBC are too stupid to understand.

    Disasters Emergency Committee
    UK Aid Match has increased the impact of a number of the Disasters Emergency Committee’s (DEC’s) recent appeals, helping to provide immediate support to countries facing large-scale humanitarian disasters.

    Most recently, this has included delivering life-saving aid to people affected by the devastating floods in Pakistan, and to people needing help due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and deteriorating humanitarian situation in Afghanistan.

    At times of crisis overseas, the DEC brings together 15 leading UK aid charities to raise funds quickly and efficiently. By pooling resources to work as one, DEC is pivotal in co-ordinating the UK public’s response to these crises. It helps to save, protect and rebuild the lives of people facing life-and-death situations through effective humanitarian response.

    DEC appeals which the UK Government has supported though UK Aid Match:

    Crisis UK Aid Match Total raised including UK Aid Match
    2023 Turkey-Syria Earthquake Appeal £5 million active
    2022 Pakistan Floods Appeal £5 million active

    As vegetarians are one of the favoured groups I wonder what will happen when they add ground up insects to our everyday foods.
    They will not be putting any warning labels on the packing and when the ingredients are listed the insect dust will be described as some number which will mean nothing to people.
    They are hiding the ingredient behind some code number.

    Will vegetarians be able to sue anyone serving them food with this stuff in it?

    “Waiter there’s a fly in my soup” used to be the basis of a joke but now it’s on the menu.

    Which side will our impartial msm take, vegetarians or big business.

      They will, of course, try to hide from us the E-number code for ground-up cockroaches. Fortunately, the vegetarians and vegans will be onto them and it’ll be all over social media faster than flies to you-know-what.
      Meanwhile, we can expect a huge softening-up campaign from the globalists and the BBC, with ‘fun’ articles and programmes on the health and environmental benefits of various bugs, with titles like “It’s no different from eating shrimps/mussels/cockles etc”.

    You all know that there’s a huge number of ‘mistakes’ made on the msm news and various platforms.

    They make these ‘mistakes’ and then later on, when everybody has heard and it has become common knowledge we get some kind of minor announcement or a tiny correction on page z.

    The curious thing about all these mistakes is that they all go only one way. They all suit the lefty agenda. I can’t think of one bbbc ‘mistake’ that has benefitted the right in the way that all their ‘mistakes’ benefit the left.
    You would think these things would even themselves out but I suppose that’s only if they are genuine ‘mistakes’.

    BBC doing its best to down play Sue Gray story.

    Im no fan of Boris Johnson but i for one have to say the whole Sue Gray appointment stinks..

    It adds fuel to the fire when her son is pounding the streets of Uxbridge (Johnsons Constituency) boasting that Sue Gray is his mum and what a brilliant job she did..Mmmm!!

    Photographs are now appearing on the internet of Sue Grays son with Starmer as early as 2020…

    If it was the Tories who had offered her the job it would be wall to wall coverage on the MSM, wall to wall coverage on the BBC and left wing rags.

    The BBC are trying there best to play down the story.

    Starmer has questions to answer but sadly the establishment will protect him and in particular the BBC

    Labour must be worried because Rayner in Parlientment has just down played it as a conspiricy..

    Lets see if Starmer turns up for PMQ’s Wednesday or will he come up with an excuse

      The BBC are inept, they should be showing the Sue Gray story as a prime example of Tory incompetence, of how they came to allow someone they knew or should have known was a massive Labour party activist to oversee an enquirey into their leader.

      Thanks to Tory party incompetence the civil service weeds out conservatives in its ranks and prevents them from reaching more senior ranks, hence ALL senior civil servants should have been regarded as hostile.

      The dim wits constantly fail to do this though

      Normal fact checking is useful thing.

      but then libmob started Weaponised Fact Checking to bash POLITICAL opponents and push their own agendas.
      SELECTIVE fact checking means libmob things get OMITTED from scrutiny.

    Dopey Tories infighting over victim politics after the Stafford MP Theo Clarke was de-selected, and she is claiming “mysogeny” after she took 7 months maternity leave.

    Of course the party will be only too willing to investigate these claims, it will of course be completely resitant to taking action against those who made the claims should they turn out to be wrongly, or even maliciously made.

    That’s the problem, making complaints of being a victim are a free punch, with the real victim never able to clear their name nor to gain satisfaction, the complainant is free to keep making wrongful complaints as many times as they please without any come back.

    Turns out said madam is in fact the niece of fellow utterly useless MP foggy Moggy, and so no surprise perhaps that one of those who did vote for her de-selection complained she had like her uncle done absolutely nothing for her constituency!
