Khayri Mclean: Boy killed near school by ‘youths lying in wait’
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-leeds-64969594
And another one. A boy of 15 stabbed to death by another boy of 15.
‘the 15-year-old had shouted “Oi Khayri” or “Yo Khayri” before jumping in the air, swinging a knife with a 30cm blade and stabbing Khayri.’
‘Khayri fell to the floor and was “defenceless on his back” when the 16-year-old went after him, knife in hand, and stabbed him again.’
That is barbaric murder at it’s most extreme. From schoolboys.
What disgust me most of all about this is how the BBC just write it as a ‘matter of fact’ report. We have regular murders by boys too young to be identified ‘for legal reasons’ and the BBC do not seem to think that is a problem with society at all. They never go near it.
‘the older defendant’s mother had texted him in the aftermath of the incident saying: “Your enemy has been stabbed and it doesn’t look good.”‘.
So the parents are in on it too.
All of this shows anyone who wants to see just what the Leftists at the BBC are like. This dead boy is no use to the agenda so they don’t care. They want to ignore it because it shows those who did it for what they are. But we will never know who did it because our law protects them.
When we say import third world, you get third world, this is what we mean. Someone should drag the arrogant jug-eared activist to the lifeless corpse and make him look at the reality of life outside his multi-million pound housing estate.
Here is another one (forget about public safety) :

Firefighter strength tests made easier in bid to recruit more women into rescue service
https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/firefighter-strength-tests-made-easier-in-bid-to-recruit-more-women-into-rescue/
I do enjoy watching the ridiculous statements of the feminists about women and men being equal getting ripped apart by headlines like this.
Men are better at some things. Women are better at others. They are different. Anyone who says otherwise is a dishonest hypocrite. Which by coincidence also features in my definition of a Leftist.
There are no ifs or buts. Affirmative action kills:
When a ‘german’ doctor from nigeria came to the UK he managed to kill two patients with the wrong medication. He has never been brought to justice as germany will not deport him.
Yet our beloved BMA can go after doctors acting on their conscience, and common sense, because they do not want to give their patients a kill-shot.

Well, a grade C O level is equivalent to a GCSE grade one

Good old Blair, education, education, education
late 18th century: from Latin, literally ‘I shall be acceptable or pleasing’, from placere ‘to please’.
Zephir – some years ago I had a client in the ceramics business in Stoke-on-Trent, and he insisted that the word should really be pronounced with a hard “C”, i.e. keramics.
I still don’t really know one way or the other, and have never heard anyone else pronounce it this way, but I bowed to his superior knowledge.
I suppose it could have been one of those “Have you bought your Poetic Licence?” jokes….
Bakhmut: Russian casualties mount but tactics evolve
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-64955537
Got to love the complete world of make-believe the BBC live in now.
First : do we assume that Ukrainians are not taking casualties as they are never even mentioned ?.
‘Ukraine has drawn a line in the dirt, and that line is Bakhmut. It is a city that few say matters strategically, but that tens of thousands have died fighting over.’
The truth of the matter which the BBC totally omit is that they cannot withdraw : they are surrounded on 3 sides with only 2 roads in and out – both of which would be a turkey-shoot for Russian artillery. They are safer to stay in the Town.
Then they show us a picture of the secret weapon which ‘really works’ to repel the larger attacks:
That article completely gives the idea that Uraine are winning. It’s scandalous mis-representation and is borderline fiction.
Evacuated Afghan women’s team included ‘false’ footballers
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-64967941
Scandal because the ‘football team’ who got evacuated were not all footballers. They lied to get what they could from the suckers like the BBC.
‘Afghan footballer Sabriah Nawrouzi says that not all the evacuees to the UK could play the game’. Oh the injustice of it. A very bitter person.
Though we never did get told why the footballers (or women cabin crew) deserved special attention.
All I can say to the likes of the BBC and their staff is:
You. F*cking. Idiots.
The first rule about people in 3rd world countries like that is that they lie as easily as they tell the truth. Only the most gullible narcissists searching for empathy and sorrow in order to virtue signal and get an award are taken in. Which these days seems to be every single BBC ‘journalist’.
CCTV of Amir Khan being robbed at gunpoint shown in court
https://www.bbc.com/news/av/uk-england-london-64971148
Good old Londonistan. Where else (apart from Birmingham and Manchester) can you stand on the street and watch a man called Amir Khan got robbed at gunpoint by three men called Ismail Mohamed, Ahmed Ban and Nurul Amin ?.
Are you paying attention jug-ears ?.
Just the non Asian ones, presumably?
The Left have made the phrase ‘hate-crime’ utterly meaningless now.
From the CPS:
‘Any criminal offence which is perceived by the victim or any other person, to be motivated by hostility or prejudice, based on a person’s disability or perceived disability; race or perceived race; or religion or perceived religion; or sexual orientation or perceived sexual orientation or transgender identity or perceived transgender identity.”
There is no legal definition of hostility so we use the everyday understanding of the word which includes ill-will, spite, contempt, prejudice, unfriendliness, antagonism, resentment and dislike.’
So you can be prosecuted for a hate-crime if you demonstrate ‘unfriendliness’. How is that ‘hate’ ?. How utterly absurd.

Dear Winston Smith,
I noticed that Jon Sopel is talking about impartial and unbiased reporting but his twitter account has three references to his book whilst using the BBC brand. Could the BBC please explain what is happening?
1) Is BBC Jon Sopel supposed to tell us about the news or his new book?
2) BBC Jon Sopel’s twitter feed has the BBC name in it and says “Jon Sopel, BBC North America Editor. My book If Only They Didn’t Speak English is out now.” which references his book and not the fact he is an unbiased and impartial reporter.
3) BBC Jon Sopel’s twitter’s pinned tweet is from 23May2018 and is about .. himself and his book.
4) Is BBC Jon Sopel’s book 100% BBC approved thought and unbiased and partial?
5) Shouldn’t BBC Jon Sopel’s twitter be about the latest news and not himself?
6) When Jon Sopel sells a book does it go to help pay for the BBC TV Tax – to reduce it? As the BBC are promoting it – thus it is promoted by the BBC TV Tax Payer.
“Impartiality lies at the heart of public service and is the core of the BBC’s commitment to its audiences. It applies to all our output and services – television, radio, online, and in our international services and commercial magazines. We must be inclusive, considering the broad perspective and ensuring the existence of a range of views is appropriately reflected”

Good luck answering this one without laughing yourself silly.

I checked Sopels book and was amazed at what good reviews it got.
Then I checked the comments and realised it’s because only far-left tw@ts like him actually bought it.

The football evacuation edition
The Tories come up with one single tax cut… and hey presto, our government in waiting promise to reverse it: Labour has already vowed to reverse the abolition of the £1m tax-free cap on pension savings announced in the Budget, saying it only helps the richest (BBC)
As though by some inexorable ratchet, the State grows and grows.
The avowed opposition press reveal their allegiance and preference – albeit not exactly for Keir Starmer and the Labour party as such – moreso the simple notion of the State as be all and end all: Public services ‘basically ignored’ and face ‘implausibly tight spending’ (Guardian) – on the contrary, the implausibilty here is surely how anyone could characterise the present massive level of State spending as ‘tight’
Britain’s tax burden climbs to a new record high since the Second World War – cautions the left-leaning ‘i’ newspaper picking up the theme of the Times’s headline: Hunt waves through biggest tax burden since the war – and they don’t mean Ukraine
I enjoyed that old gag of Ken Dodd’s after he was done for tax evasion: ‘Britain introduced Income Tax at the time of the Napoleonic Wars. It was at a rate of 1% – I thought it still was’
But come on, lefty papers… no protest in favour of our glorious public sector?
Right on cue: ... nothing for public sector workers – complains the Daily Mirror
The vitriol is strong with this one: Grinning Mr Hunt and Rishi Sunak yesterday (Mirror)
The loyalist Daily Express – with their somewhat divided loyalites, mind you (United with the people of Ukraine) puts on a brave face: We’ll make this work for Britain – and Ukraine?
Amusingly the Telegraph today tells us President Macron is holding up ammunition shipments to Ukraine on the basis the shells ought to be manufactured inside the EU. That would be a marvellous coincidence of the fight for freedom, democracy and right, brought back into line with European Union corporate economic interests.
The vaguely right-leaning Daily Mail has doubts about the Tory budget: Is it enough to turn the tide? As they warned another chap with a name often mistaken for a term for lady parts – King Canut
Speaking of which…
The frontpages may be chock full of the budget and what this means for you features but there’s always some room for the relentless march of anti-male feminism – under a feature laughable titled Family the ‘i’ promotes: Taking my wife’s surname was a privilege. All men should do it – that sounds a bit… performative: When I tweeted recently that I was proudly taking my wife’s surname to become Mr Tansley, I thought of it as merely a courtesy to my small online following. Social media was the first place I’d “officially” changed my name was a brief explanation for anyone who happened to notice I was no longer Mr Livesley – and another excuse to post a wedding photo – well, well, well, performative indeed, you could have knocked me down with a feather
And we should perhaps parse this popular phrase from the At a glace budget summary care of the Times: Extra Childcare – for newcomers to the planet this word – contray to the caring and child-loving sound of it – means mothers leaving their child with others while they go out to work – so it is not so much childcare as fostering out the awkward encumbrance the kid represents on a daily basis
30 hours of free childcare for working parents in England expanded to cover one and two-year-olds (BBC) – the rationale of course being to encourage more women into the workforce – which is regarded as a good thing. Mr AsI wonders who is supposed to be doing all this childcare while mothers rush off to work? Are there really untapped huge idle battalions of otherwise unemployed women ready and willing to take up the slack?
£600 “incentive payments” for those becoming childminders, and relaxed rules in England to let childminders look after more children (BBC)
We do like to conclude on a lighter note… and we love to spot a new phrase when it is coined by our media – hard on the heels of the Gary Lineker story and arguments over economic migrants falsely claiming asylum, comes ‘false’ footballers
Evacuated Afghan women’s team included Evacuated Afghan women’s team included ‘false’ footballers… A high-profile evacuation to the UK of Afghan female footballers fleeing the Taliban included a number of women who were not the top-tier players that it was claimed, a BBC investigation has been told… Thirty-five women and their families – 130 people in total – were flown to the UK from Pakistan in November 2021… They were granted visas by the Home Office… The football evacuation took place in the months following the fall of Kabul and was personally championed by Priti Patel, the home secretary at that time (BBC)
Some people are on our pitch. They think Britian is all over… it is now.

I like the Racist Armed Police Officer thing .
As this is about survival , I need to know the racist police officers race . Is he black , white , Hispanic , Latino etc ? And what races does he fear/hate ?
Again this is about survival , so if he`s the same race as me it might be better to take him , unpleasant as his racist thoughts are , as he wouldn`t be a threat .
But do I get the feeling that the term Racist here implies – white ?
Britain’s Hidden Alcoholics
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01cmqdc
Alastair Campbell meets some of the increasing number of Britain’s middle-class professionals for whom one glass of wine after work is never enough, and asks if we all need to reassess our relationship with drink.
Alastair, Tony Blair’s former closest adviser, knows from bitter experience the true cost of excessive boozing: his alcoholism contributed to his nervous breakdown.
With nearly 9,000 people dying from alcohol-related diseases every year and leading medical experts describing it as a health crisis, Campbell ventures into the world of Britain’s hidden alcoholics and asks how much is too much.
Erm, maybe when you declare war it might be a sign to put down the glass.

Can you see what it is yet?
Here’s something you are unlikely to see in the UK media concerning the corruption of the mafia Democrats in the USA.
It would appear the governor of California and Democrat front runner for the Presidency after Joe Biden failed to disclose that he was an investor in several companies including tech and vinyards in California which were affected by the collapse of the Silicon Valley Bank as he lobbied Joe Biden to come up with a bail out for the bank.
Most people believe the government should not be bailing out banks or other companies using taxpayer money as it incentivises recklessness and risk taking, they keep the profits when it works and pass it on to the taxpayer when it doesn’t.
This is corruption of course, Newsome now doesn’t lose out on his private investments and the taxpayers get to fund the losses he would otherwise have had to sustain himself.

Perhaps Marky can find out her ‘advance’.
According to the Guardian
The book’s synopsis mentions little about May’s time in No 10 and nothing about the battles of the Brexit years. It says May will discuss how “the powerful repeatedly chose to use their power not in the interests of the powerless but to serve themselves or to protect the organisation to which they belonged”.

Theresa May said: ‘When I stood on the steps of No 10 as Prime Minister for the first time I set out my determination to fight burning injustices and govern not for the powerful but for the people. Time and time again, during my period in government, I saw public institutions abusing their power by seeking to defend themselves in the face of challenge rather than seek the truth. These were the very bodies whose job was to protect the public, but they sought to protect themselves. From Hillsborough to Primodos to child sexual exploitation this increased the suffering of victims and delayed justice. Our democracy depends on people having trust in their public institutions and politicians. I am delighted to be working with Headline as the accounts I give in this book show how that trust has been eroded over time and why we need to act.’

From a Theresa May speech …
As Martin Wolf, the chief economics commentator of the financial times, says: ‘The desirability of sizeable immigration is a matter more of values than of economics. It is not a choice between wealth and poverty, but of the sort of country one desires to inhabit.’

You can only reconcile the musings of Treason May by association to the mindset of the Marxist/Lefties: “….govern not for the powerful but for the people.” That was the “people” in Davos and the UN if I’m not mistaken. And as for those “people?

Six months of 1984, your local hospice shop should be able to recommend something else
“Journalism is printing what someone else does not want printed (May and Corbyn’s old speeches): everything else is public relations.” – Orwell
Theresa May … being put forward as Prime Minister and issuing a general election on implementing Brexit which was about immigration and sovereignty. … these speeches were never mentioned on the BBC £3.5bn news or other media outlets …
1978 … “Every country can take some small minorities and in many ways they add to the richness and variety of this country. The moment the minority threatens to become a big one, people get frightened.” – Margaret Thatcher 1978
2012 … “Two and a half years ago, the coalition government was formed, and we made a clear promise to the British public. After thirteen years of uncontrolled mass immigration, this government would reduce and control immigration.” – Theresa May 2012
2015 … “Because when immigration is too high (no figure given), when the pace of change is too fast, it’s impossible to build a cohesive society.” – Theresa May 2015
Jeremy Corbyn … with all the news on BBC £3.5bn Service regarding the Iran Nuclear Deal, Jeremy Corbyn has not been asked why he backs Al Quds protests and has spoken at them or why his is not vocal on Iran’s ‘death to’ position with Israel.
2012 … Jeremy Corbyn speaks at Al Quds march, Al Quds is the protest for all the oppressed but was initiated by an oppressor Ayatollah Khomeini. Jeremy Corbyn does not chastise the Iranian regime.
2018 … Iran release a ‘Death to Israel’ and ‘Death to America’ Government approved emoji. But this is not mentioned when talking about Iran by the BBC or other outlets.
MPs expenses …. it was in 2008 that MPs used expenses to fill their own pockets or shredded. UK MPs on both sides have talked about reducing expenses and recession and austerity.
Yet, since 2010 MPs have enjoyed a pay increased of 18%.
How come the BBC news has not reported on this when talking to MPs?
“The omission is the most powerful form of lie,
and it is the duty of the historian to ensure that those lies
do not creep into the history books.” – George Orwell

Re: “Journalism is printing what someone else does not want printed (May and Corbyn’s old speeches): everything else is public relations.” – Orwell
I’d be hard pressed to think of anything now that is actual journalism.
As to what someone does not want printing, BBC Panorama taking the press release from a dodgy fee law mob about what a person told a person and calling it an ‘investigation’.
Journalism is discovering the truth, verifying it, proving it and sharing it warts and all.
Choosing what suits the narrative is not journalism just as running Sopes’ ‘book’ in an official platform header is anything other than bent.
I burn books now – it’s the only way to ensure future generations don’t repeat the past – oh wait …..
I like to read classic masterpieces of their day then re-write any bits which I think should be changed to suit my own opinion of how the world should be. For example, I think there should be more black people in my country – so I put them in the story even though it never, ever happened like that. I know I’m 100% lying – but if it changes the world to how I think it should be, it’s OK right ?. I know a lot of people don’t agree – but I’m a lot more intelligent and morally superior to that scum.
Then I present it as actual history to an unwitting audience who I want to condition to think like I do.
One day I hope to write stories for the BBC.
Can I burn it once you’ve finished please – getting cold due to climate changes.
I found a great hardback, Readers Digest do it yourself for only a quid
It should be relabelled, get a divorce for a quid, no mention of mains electric cables in walls or local authority environmental services opinions on hammer drills.
Or, how to get full value from your local A and E department
I do agree with the current opinion of microchipping cats, its taken permanent residence somwhere in the woods at the back of the garden since I bought the book.
There should at least be an appendix on how to stop artery bleeds, maybe just after the “101 things you can do with a Stanley knife” chapter
I watched a superb BBC programme last night, enjoyed every minute. It was House of Cards, from 1990, and starring Ian Richardson as Francis Urquhart. No inappropriate casting, no climate change, no Brexit, no Trump – it was great and goes to show that the BBC, back then, could make superb television when it wanted to. Happy to have paid the TVL back then too to fund its making, don’t need to pay for it again.
Lunchtime. – I remember it the first time and was of higher standard than anything produced now – the absence of the tick boxes and ‘message ‘ is noticeable .
The US version is a different beast altogether and very – American . I can’t think either could be made now …..
The BBC put out ‘edge of darkness ‘ recently – from around the same period – another high level drama which just couldn’t be done now ….

Likely a combination of broadcasting to the core, secure in the knowledge the media will politely not comment.

I don’t think so. Nothing exposed the media — The New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, and on and on — for the deceitful, manipulative group of people it is than the pandemic. A grave and urgent emergency that should have been the most pressing time since 9/11 for national unity was instead exploited by the media for the purpose of winning an election.”

Who’s guilty, of course the Russians are, as the bBC told us
From the video the Russian jet is trying to climb, the drone takes no action to get out the way
Video doesn’t show a “collision” .
It shows the Russians probably saying ” Yo nigga this is Putin country!” and dumping aviation fuel all over the drone, which did the damage?
If the pilot was able to just clip one blade of the propeller and fly off …

“Nazi Propaganda and Censorship
The Nazis wanted Germans to support the Nazi dictatorship and believe in Nazi ideas. To accomplish this goal, they tried to control forms of communication through censorship and propaganda. This included control of newspapers, magazines, books, art, theater, music, movies, and radio.
How did the Nazis use censorship?
When the Nazis came to power in 1933, the German constitution guaranteed freedom of speech and freedom of the press. Through decrees and laws, the Nazis abolished these civil rights and destroyed German democracy. Starting in 1934, it was illegal to criticize the Nazi government. Even telling a joke about Hitler was considered treachery. People in Nazi Germany could not say or write whatever they wanted.
Examples of censorship under the Nazis included:
Closing down or taking over anti-Nazi newspapers;
Controlling what news appeared in newspapers, on the radio, and in newsreels;
Banning and burning books that the Nazis categorized as un-German;
Controlling what soldiers wrote home during World War II.
How did the Nazis use propaganda?
The Nazis used propaganda to promote their ideas and beliefs. Beginning in March 1933, the regime tried to centralize its propaganda efforts in a new ministry led by Joseph Goebbels. This ministry was called the Reich Ministry of Enlightenment and Propaganda.
The Nazis used a variety of propaganda tools to spread Nazi ideas. Examples of propaganda under the Nazis included:
Glorifying Adolf Hitler by using his image on postcards, posters, and in the press;
Spreading negative images and ideas about Jews in magazines, films, cartoons, and other media;
Making radios more affordable so that more Germans could listen to Nazi ideas and news;
Broadcasting Nazi speeches on the radio and public loudspeakers;
Organizing large and celebratory Nazi Party rallies;
Creating groups, like the Hitler Youth and League of German Girls, that fostered Nazi ideals.”

Good news in the Netherlands elections: a big win for BBB (farmer’s movement), which hopefully puts a spanner in the Food Innovation Hub that Rutte and the WEF have assigned to Holland “to transform the food ecosystem”.
It”s a fairly unbiased article for once, notwithstanding a comment from go-to pundit Ben Coates: “most people would characterise [BBB] as a right-wing, populist party that was quite anti-EU, anti-immigration and in favour of banning burkas for Muslims.”
Ben’s Twitter bio says he’s a ‘recovering Tory’ and it looks like he’s missed the recent BBC memo on impartiality. But he’s not staff, so go for it, Ben.

How did propaganda and censorship work together?
Textbooks are a good example of how propaganda and censorship worked together in the Nazi regime. The Nazis used both propaganda and censorship to control what students read in school. Nazi censors removed some textbooks from classrooms. New textbooks taught students to obey the Nazi Party, love Hitler, and hate Jews.
Key Dates
May 10, 1933
Nazi Book Burnings
During the spring of 1933, Nazi university student organizations, professors, and librarians put together long lists of books they think are un-German. These lists include books written by Jewish authors. They also include books by non-Jewish authors whose ideas conflict with Nazi ideals. On the night of May 10, 1933, Nazis hold book burnings. They march by torchlight in nighttime parades, sing chants, and throw books into huge bonfires. On that night more than 25,000 books are burned.
March 28, 1935
Premiere of the Propaganda Film Triumph of the Will
Leni Riefenstahl’s propaganda film Triumph of the Will premieres in Berlin. The film shows footage taken at the 1934 Nazi Party Rally at Nuremberg. The footage from the rally shows smiling children, cheering crowds, and uniformed Nazis. It features military parades and a speech by Adolf Hitler. Triumph of the Will will become one of the most infamous Nazi propaganda films.
September 1939
Banning Germans from Listening to Foreign Radio
World War II begins on September 1, 1939. Shortly afterwards, the Nazi regime makes listening to foreign radio broadcasts illegal. This is an attempt to control what information Germans hear about the war. The Nazi regime sees news and information from outside Germany as a security threat. They are worried about foreign radio broadcasts, which some Germans can access on their home radios. Later in the war, the regime even sentences people to death for listening to foreign radio stations.

“Internet censorship in the United States is the suppression of information published or viewed on the Internet in the United States. The First Amendment of the United States Constitution protects freedom of speech and expression against federal, state, and local government censorship.
In 2014, the United States was added to Reporters Without Borders (RWB)’s list of “Enemies of the Internet”, a group of countries with the highest level of Internet censorship and surveillance. RWB stated that the U.S. has “undermined confidence in the Internet and its own standards of security” and that “U.S. surveillance practices and decryption activities are a direct threat to investigative journalists, especially those who work with sensitive sources for whom confidentiality is paramount and who are already under pressure.”[1]
In U.S. government-funded Freedom House’s Freedom On the Net 2021 Report, the United States was rated the thirteenth most free of the 70 countries rated.[2] ”

Last week, we launched a campaign calling on Waterstones, Foyles, WHSmith, and Amazon to remove from their websites some of the most extreme and dangerous nazi, racist and Holocaust denial literature ever published in the English language. This included books such as the infamous bomb making manual The Anarchist Cookbook and the race war fiction The Turner Diaries, which has inspired numerous terrorist attacks including the Oklahoma City bombing and the Copeland Nail Bomb attacks in London.
