    Watching 100% black thugs being banged up for horrible, violent murders on I think c4. Thinking why is this not a thing on mainstream news?

    Seems to suggest that most murders are black instigators.

    And it’s always drugs/money related.

    Nothing on mainstream news re this….

    Are we being blindsided?

    And if so , why?

    Don’t tell me I f****ng know why.

    Leave it to the TV junior squad woke twats and we will be like a third world country before we know it.

    But it’s great for diversity!

    No…. better to go after Boris for having a. Glass of wine. The horrible twats!

    Now we learn the idiots in charge have allowed defence manufacturing to deteriorate to such an extent we cannot even supply Ukraine because we inthe West cannot manufacture enough explosives!
    That would of course be the case if the cretins placed the orders which they haven’t as yet so Ukraine will run ou of ammunition soon.

          Sorry, but I’m sick to death of this narrow minded view that if you in any way do not fully support our role in this war and think Ukraine is wonderful, you must therefore be a supporter of Putin.

          Putins a bastard and so are the Ukranians. I trust Zalensky about as much as I trust Putin. This war didn’t just start a year ago and it’s about far more than we are being told. It’s got the same fingerprints on it as all the other wars such as Iraq. And WE are fully complicit in all of them.

          This is about the new world order. The USA (and by extension, us) don’t give a flying f*ck about how many Ukranians get killed. The Nord stream pipeline and repeated sabotage of any attempts to stop it is proof enough of that for me.

    I know the book is highly lauded – I could never get far into it.
    But I’m liking this Russian film adaptation.
    A little melodramatic in places when showing the poverty and relationships.
    But I love the scenes between the police detective (or whatever they were called in 1860’s) and the murderer.
    English subtitles are labelled Russian.

    CCTV image released after elderly man set on fire outside mosque
    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-64913582

    This came up on my phone (not by the BBC) and I was shocked at how barbaric it was. An 82 year old Muslim pensioner doused in petrol in the street and deliberately set on fire.

    I wondered why I hadn’t seen it on the BBC : this would normally be a lengthy story with buckets of empathy for this innocent ‘victim’ who suffered this awful attack. So I searched and found and extremely brief BBC article. Just basic facts only. Almost as if they didn’t want to report it. I for one never saw it on their website.

    This is despite it being described by police as:

    ‘Metropolitan Police Det Sgt Steven Constable said the force was carrying out a full investigation into the “incredibly shocking incident”.’

    However all is explained when we see the man the police want:
    _128951382_ealing-top-met.jpg.webp

    And now I also see a second similar attack was reported by the DT only yesterday in a much more lengthy article with counter-terrorist police being involved:

    Second elderly Muslim set on fire leaving mosque, prompting counter-terror investigation
    https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/03/21/counter-terrorism-police-investigate-second-man-set-alight-mosque/

    The BBC don’t even report that one at all as far as I can see.

    As I keep saying, the BBC don’t care one bit about black lives, Muslim lives or any BAME lives unless they can be used for their anti-white/anti-British agenda. They are the most unpleasant hypocrites I could imagine. This kind of thing shows what scum they actually are.

      You know that old saying about people preferring radio to TV because the (mental) images are better?

      When I heard coverage of this on Radio 4, I just assumed it would turn out to be a White attacker, though not necessarily real British, and possibly from Latvia or Poland or some such.

      A horrible attack, I agree: I hope the old man can recover. But the BBC does lie by omission in these cases, almost as if it wanted to provoke social unrest … …

          1985 ….

          Ahmadis suffer vicious persecution around the world. The main source of fuel for that persecution is in Pakistan, but what happens in Pakistan does not stay in Pakistan.

          I know that from my experience in the Yorkshire market town of Batley. In August 1985, when I was 11 years old, my parents organised an inter-faith meeting in the town hall. It was interrupted and disturbed when, according to West Yorkshire police,

          more than 1,000 extremists, led by Pakistani hate preachers funded by the Pakistani state, were bused in from around the country.

          The mob brutally attacked my English mother and my father, a dermatologist; my eldest brother and I; and a Welsh Ahmadi schoolteacher who was with us. My first cousin, a GP, was by chance driving through the market town that day. He saw the mob and saw his family and friends being attacked, so he stopped. He was recognised, pulled from his vehicle and savagely beaten up.

    ‘Ukraine war: UK defends sending depleted uranium shells after Putin warning”
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-65032671

    ” Shells with depleted uranium were used in Iraq and the Balkans, where some claim it was linked to birth defects.

    A 2022 UN Environment Programme (UNEP) report said depleted uranium was an environmental concern in Ukraine.

    “Depleted uranium and toxic substances in common explosives can cause skin irritation, kidney failure and increase the risks of cancer,” it said.

    “The chemical toxicity of depleted uranium is considered a more significant issue than the possible impacts of its radioactivity,” it added.’

    So the Met are being set up to be sacrificed on the pretence of being a bunch of misogynistic bastards… I don’t believe this for one minute, there are thousands of ordinary hard working officers in their ranks, I rather think it’s the more likely that the people who want a free ride need to get rid of them to make their life easier, increase their public support even though this means allowing the expansion of crime.

    The Met have thousands of officers and I don’t think for one minute they are all misogynistic bastards. This is simply the shite left trying to smash the system to make their own life and prospects of gaining power easier even if it means expanding the drug and crime industry.

    Video shows police piling on Irvo Otieno before his death in custody
    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-65017124

    I watched this video for one reason : to see if they show what he actually did to make the police pile on top of him.

    They didn’t. It was edited out.

    There’s only one reason they would do that.

    More deliberate Leftist lying by omission with the full complicity of the BBC. They have completely covered up what this black man from Kenya did to make the police try so hard to restrain him.

    And one thing is for sure : his death cannot be allowed to be an accident. Someone MUST go down for murder or else there will be riots by BLM (and looting, but that goes without saying). And the BBC are 100% behind that.

    Malawi cannabis: Farmers let down after paying out cash

    ‘Malawian farmer Ethel Chilembwe has paid out hundreds of dollars, cleared six hectares of land and got ready for the training, but after two years of waiting she has not cultivated a single cannabis plant.’

    I’m speechless : in what possible way do the BBC think this empathy-laden, lengthy story is in any way relevant to the British public on a British news site and entirely funded at the British public’s expense ?.

    I suppose it gives their ‘journalist’ something to do considering we are paying him regardless of what he churns out. As we do the entire BBC.

    The BBC will be chief cheerleader with the likes of the obsessed comrade Robinson frothing at the mouth .

    Elsewhere the times reports that the Met police paid ‘consultant ‘ friends at Erynst and Young – a crooked accountancy firm – £500 000 tax payers money to explore the culture of the firearms branch when queer Cressida was commissioner £ and the current new broom commissioner – rowley – in charge of the first arms branch .

    Surprise, surprise and a Sharkey spotted in the water edition

    Inflation in surprise jump to 10.4% in February (BBC) – surprise? Yeah, it’s a surprise… they thought they’d fixed it…

    UK adds e-bikes and security cameras to inflation basket… In its annual update to the basket of goods and services used to track inflation, the Office for National Statistics added 26 new items and removed 16 from the more than 700 that it selects as representative of what consumers typically spend their money on… Frozen berries were introduced for the first time, partly a reflection of the popularity of home-made smoothies. Dairy-free spreads were also added, expanding the range of “free from” products, capturing the growing number of people switching to a vegan diet. (FT 13th March 2023)

    Putin: China plan could end war, but Ukraine and West not ready for peace (BBC) – that’s true enough:

    Ukraine to clinch first IMF loan to nation at war… The IMF recently changed a rule to allow loans to countries facing “exceptionally high uncertainty”… strong financing assurances are expected from donors, including the G7 and EU… the agreement would “mobilise large-scale concessional financing” for Ukraine from international donors and partners, without giving further details. (BBC)

    The unsurprised versus the unforgiven – for Brexit…

    D-day for Johnson… Rishi Sunak is unsurprised that his predecesser is trying to involve him in preceedings… (‘i’ newspaper) – talking of proceedings, Liz Truss was Rishi’s direct predecessor… but we see what the left-leaning ‘i’ is getting at.

    Someone got up with a great big smile on their face this morning: The damning report into the Met gives me hope by Jasmin Alibhai-Brown (‘i’) – not that there’s much we’ve heard in this report about reducing common or garden crime in London. We suppose that’s a secondary policing concern.

    A tiny group of middle class wimmin decide on a whim they fancy going swimming in rivers – and now we can never hear the end of their moaning about cleaning up our rivers.

    Meanwhile the hundreds of thousands of fresh water anglers (mostly chaps) are oddly quiet on the issue of clean rivers – presumably quietly getting on with their fishing.

    The UK’s official swimming rivers are too polluted to swim in. Just two rivers in the UK are designated as “bathing waters”, and both are currently rated in poor health. With more rivers set to become bathing waters, will they actually be clean enough to use? (New Scientist)

    Campaigners ask why five bathing area applications rejected for English rivers (Guardian)

      Close
      Meet the young mathematician who helped design the Spitfire, the iconic aircraft that took part in the Battle of Britain, which started 80 years ago today.

      Hazel Hill helped her father do the calculations that meant Spitfires could be built with eight guns instead of four. Many believe this made a big difference to the outcome of the Battle of Britain.

      ‘The Schoolgirl who Helped Win a War’ will be broadcast on the BBC News Channel at 13.30, 17.30 and 20.30 on Saturday and 10.30 and 16.30 on Sunday. It will also be available on BBC iPlayer.

          What stands out a country mile to me is how all those women soldiers the BBC showed us in Ukraine (who clearly had never even held a rifle before) suddenly disappeared completely the day war broke out and were replaced by men with beards.

          I expect it was so they could get to the front for the fighting.

    I’ve got an idea

    Since the swamp has decide. Met plod is institutional this and that – maybe is should boycott all those plod shows it puts out ? And wipe the tapes of all plod shows in the past which do not show institutional this and that .

    Instead make a hard hitting series about a chippy ex coloured plod plotting their revenge about not getting promoted and going around TV studios pouring bad things on her his it’s’ previous employer – riveting

    There are so many to choose as role models …Leroy ? Mohammed ? Parm?

    In Mecca, only Muslims are allowed, while non-Muslims may not enter or pass through. Attempting to enter Mecca as a non-Muslim can result in penalties such as a fine; being in Mecca as a non-Muslim can result in deportation.

    Ukraine war: Three dead as Russia launches new attack on cities
    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-65036208

    Headline news. How sad : that will bring the total dead for the day up to around 1,003. What about all the others BBC ?.

    As a general rule, if a cruise missile hits the upper part of a building, it ran into it by accident on it’s way somewhere else.

    ‘Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia had launched more than 20 “killer drones”, as well as missiles and shells.’

    What a particularly stupid sentence. Most definitely not written by a professional who understands warfare. More like a second-rate North Korean press officer.

    A quick check shows the article is written by Paul Kirby who normally writes EU-slanted agenda items like ‘Dutch border police told to stop ethnic profiling’ full of the usual BBC leanings. I bet he’s never even seen a rifle.

    It seems this war is a chance for any and all BBC staff to have a go at writing articles on it. It doesn’t seem to matter at all whether they have a clue what they are talking about or not.

    It’s hard to believe just how far their standards have fallen.

    Inflation up again thanks tto the cowardice and incompetence of the Bank of England governor and the MPC.

    Now he is going to be forced to raise MLR and it is clear he is not in command of the situation, inflation is and it is going to continue to run out of control for years to come.

    The Taylor ratio suggests MLR should now be at 11 or 12% at least a far cry from the pathetic 4% we are currently at.

    Expect pension institutions to suffer again as they made ‘safe’ investments into long term government bonds at low interest rates which have dramatically fallen in value.

    Saving Of Lives At Sea .

    This is the international treaty which our governments use to excuse collecting the invaders and housing them .

    I had another look . Its chapter 5 which is the get out clause for the do gooders here which is every ship must provide assistance to any vessel in distress regardless how they got into that position .
    So our Border Farce and the RNLI go about brining them in .

    But any contracting government ( which includes the British and the French ) must ensure that any vessel is ADEQUATELY and COMPETENTLY manned to ensure safe passage .

    That means France is not abiding by this international treaty .

    It is now up to the French to stop these boats immediately , by international law .
