      That column is dripping with hate and in usual Lefty style, he’s going straight for the man, not the ball.

      And the comments in the echo chamber are just as bad. And as always, they read like spiteful students have written them.

      And of course he’s ex-BBC who can now say what he likes. And this is what we get. These articles really do show how ridiculous all these claims that the BBC are ‘centre’ and ‘impartial’ really are.

      And I see this in other of his tweets:
      ‘BBC marks its centenary. Still one of Britain’s greatest exports, still one of the world’s great cultural institutions and still a journalistic superpower. A treasure well worth protecting.’

      Case closed I think.

      These articles are useful so we can see the Left for what they really are when they feel confident enough to say what they think. It’s pure hate and intolerance.

      A youtube channel I watch which reports what is happening in Ukraine is saying that the USA is 100% on the path towards civil war. I agree completely. The Left have split society like I could never have imagined. But the real sinister thing about it is how the likes of the BBC never go anywhere near reporting it. They just keep churning out the Leftist propaganda and help to make it worse.

      I wonder where it will end.

    Long queues at Dover “ due to Brexit “

    I remember going into France before we were in the Common Market / EEC / EC/EU and there was no trouble.

    What I remember going throughout the EU and into the Warsaw Pact countries as a truck driver were the ease of moving through them . Foresaw there were customs preliminaries but we got through.
    Admittedly the less paperwork the better , which is why I can’t understand innocent coach passengers being hassled But undocumented migrants travel freely .
    Is it just down to how much to pay criminal gangs ?

      The BBC article was disgustingly light on detail. For instance, they failed to mention that St Sanna describes herself as ‘coming from a rainbow family’ (she was raised by two female parents), that she is a vegetarian and became a Young Global Leader of the World Economic Forum in 2020. These are the really important issues…

    Manchester Arena survivors to take ‘disaster troll’ to court
    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-65136825

    So here we have a story about a single ‘troll’ who does not believe some of the stories he reads in our ‘news’ and writes ‘conspiracy theories’. But he genuinely believes what he says because he travels to see if people are really injured or not.

    So he’s a bit of a crackpot – but it’s everybodies choice to just ignore him. There are plenty of worse people in this world – a quick browse of the BBCs “London Violence’ section will quickly confirm that.

    But the Left have an obsession now to shut down anybody who says things they don’t want them to say. So they put their ace ‘disinformation expert’ – Marianna – on it. Just look at how pathetic she looks:

    _127428890_screenshot2022-10-30at12.52.28.jpg.webp

    But what got me about this lengthy article is that it is just one of many – all about the same man.

    ‘Last October, a Radio 4 podcast series and BBC Panorama investigation revealed they are among victims targeted by conspiracy theorist Richard D Hall’

    What ?. How much have the BBC spent on this one troll ???.

    And what is the most damning piece of evidence against him – which Marianna thinks is so important, it deserves it’s own paragraph:

    ‘Mr Hall admitted to the BBC that he spied on Miss Hibbert from a vehicle parked outside her home.’.

    My God. Hang him.

    Then we get to the real reason for it all. Plain old greed:

    ‘Now, the family is seeking an injunction to restrain Mr Hall from making similar allegations in future and damages for some of the harm he has caused them.

    The case echoes the action against US conspiracist Alex Jones, who was ordered to pay nearly $1.5bn by a US court to families of the US Sandy Hook school shooting after falsely claiming the 2012 attack was a hoax.’

    I don’t defend these fanatical nutters on social media – but there are thousands of them. Especially in the BBC HYS comments. But it’s pretty clear that this guy believes what he is saying. Unlike your 100% blatant trolls such as maxi. It seems the Left are very, very selective about which ones they don’t like.

      Why do you think they are desperate to shut this guy down? Have you seen the evidence he has presented? Before simply labeling someone a ‘crackpot’ you might want to think about this. The point is false flags are common in today’s world and have been for centuries. There are even those the powers that be cannot hide such as the unprovoked attack on the Vietnamese to justify the war that was planned decades before. Do you seriously think all of the ‘accidents’ we are witnessing across the US are simply that or is there something else going on? Right now the world is going insane but it appears to be insane only if you don’t understand this is by design.

    Today

    Sometimes I wonder …. It seems the outgoing PM is going to make a speech about ‘child rape gangs ‘ …. With a hint that in certain towns pakistani men are those responsible …..

    Well now – on 2 big issues Mark Steyn has been years ahead and punished for telling us the truth – complete with giving victims of child rape or the vaccine injections a voice – a very lonely voice whilst politicians and the msm remained silent

    – and in fact – took him off the public air ….

    On the BBC defenders of paki Muslim Paedo Rape gangs are being given air – and identication of these vermin is described as ‘far right ‘ ….

    There was deceit in reference to the unpublished home office report from 5? Years ago … the question why it is unpublished was not asked

    Meesh interviewed 2 ethnic apologists who just agreed with each other – very BBC …. They were given plenty of unchallenged airtime to smokescreen and divert from the truth . Painful – angry listening ….

        I also question the language – the bbc uses ‘grooming ‘ which as Steyn points out ‘sanitises ‘ organised child rape ….

        The speakers on today attempted to hide behind ‘in family sexual attacks – eg the stepfather type crimes which are common but not comparable to paki gangs

        The calibre of the First Division Association – as the permanent secretaries and the like describe themselves has to be one of the many reasons why government policies fail – and ministers – the few competent ones – get absorbed into the ‘do nothing ‘ culture .

        The coming execution of Raab – whom I am guessing was trying to get something done – and ranted against the inbred doing nothings – will be a lesson to others not to rock the boat .
        As for Dover – institute the reciprocal passport stamping ( queuing ) policy tomorrow for all EU passport holders – all – …
        And make those already in the UK report for passport examination ‘ stamping within say – 6 months on pain of deport / fine …

    We’ve an interesting juxtaposition of headlines on the frontpage of the FT this morning.

    Oil producers spring surprise output cut of more than 1mn barrels a day… Russia extends production cap – more energy prices rises in the pipline – well, the pipelines the Yanks haven’t blown up (remember folks, it’s not a conspiracy theory, if it’s true). But happily Britain has our very own North Sea oil, right?: A £4.5bn Equinor oilfield off the Shetland Islands is likely to be in campaigners’ sights as British regulators are expected to grant approval.

    Meanwhile, short arse manlet PM Rishi (who we like to call our Swindon district manager) is planning on keeping an even lower profile: Sunak adopts low profile for local election battle… With election experts saying the Tories could lose up to 1,000 seats (FT)

    Which is odd when you consider how conservative politics appear to be rather popular at present: Finnish conservative leader Petteri Orpo has won a nail-biting three-way election race, defeating Prime Minister Sanna Marin’s centre left. (BBC)

    If only the Tories had some conservative policies, eh?

    Admittedly, there’s a downside – a conservative Tory party might upset the BBC – it’s pretty obvious who they were rooting for: Ms Marin… continues to enjoy high poll ratings and has been widely praised for steering Finland towards imminent entry into Nato and navigating her country through the Covid-19 pandemic. (BBC)

    This choice bit of BBC regret amused Mr AsI: She came under heavy scrutiny last year when a video emerged of her singing, dancing and drinking at a party. Supporters said the controversy was steeped in sexism and women across Finland and the world shared videos of themselves dancing in solidarity.

    Perhaps party-boy Boris ought to have played the victim of misandry defence at the hands of Labour-leaning apparatchik Sue Gray?

        Surely another important point here is the total lack of accountability in practice in local elections.

        The LibDems and Labour are openly campaigning on national issues. And why not?The public use these votes as a referendum on the government. ‘Let’s send the Tories a lesson’.

        Meanwhile councils like Croydon and Slough, who have literally gone bankrupt, will in all likelihood get in again. No doubt many councillors have preferred skin tones for certain council wards. Ethnic preference and national issues ensure no accountability at all for gross incompetence at local level. The unstated benefit of Maggie’s poll tax was that everyone had to pay something, so everyone had a financial interest in the outcome. When many do not pay council tax, they will keep on voting for the freebies.

        I’m reminded of Ken Livingstone. If voting changed anything they’d abolish it.

        At first I thought I couldn’t be arsed, then thought I would, then Senora O’Blene said I should, then I thought I might, then I said ‘Oh sod it’, and still haven’t decided to tell them that we’ll not be voting for the Swindon District Manager’s lot (priceless description Asiseeit)!

        It’s actually for the local elections, but the Tunbridge Wells Alliance Party has some pretty good guys and gals, and they clobbered the blue labour lot who wanted to build a ginormous ‘People’s Palace’, which was unwanted and unnecessary and had all the plush offices for the usual suspects and a crap new theatre!

            I did make a mistake once several years ago, and voted Lib-Dem as we knew the Con candidate was useless, and it turned out that the one we voted for was even worse, especially as his very, very close mate was banged up for a really nasty crime…

    It’s absolutely staring us in the face and yet the majority of the public cannot see it.

    State run, nationalised industries that ensure that Union power can hold the organisation to blackmail, and where lack of competition and rock solid job security ensures there is no incentive to improve, do not work and do not in the end serve the public.

      Agreed, it’s clear as crystal that public sector strikes are coordinated between the unions and have much more to do with harming the Conservatives than fighting for better pay.

      The vast majority of the working population would be delighted to have the salaries, pensions and working conditions enjoyed by these feather-bedded public servants.

      Perhaps Sunak should simply give them everything they ask for and immediately double the standard rate of income tax to pay for it.

    I was hoping to find a Jeff Taylor vid from last week but I can’t find it. Never mind.

    In essence, the Germans have extended their 2030 ban on fossil fuel vehicles out a further 5 years. This to help their bleating car industry. Wot about UK? According to Jeff, we cannot do same as we’re bound by “International Treaty” to stick to what the Germans et al, are apparently not. So, the UK Government cannot shift the goalposts so expect more impositions on your life and lifestyle.

    ‘Democracy’? A wonderful thing, if you’ve got it. We haven’t.

    To see the damage Biden et al and his Marxist Government we have is perpetrating shows that the system in the UK as well, is simply wrong. When Governments go off the rails the public must have a default trigger to get rid of them. Or, at least to stop their reckless and treasonous behaviour.

    Btw, if the Human Rights Act is scrapped, so is any approach to the Court of Human Rights which is what Bliar used to dispense with the UK Death Penalty. All needs to be reversed pronto.

      Another 2018 news story : KARONGI, RWANDA —
      Three thousand to 4,000 Congolese refugees were camped out Wednesday in front of a U.N. office in western Rwanda, demanding better living conditions at their camp.
      The refugees refused to go after marching out of the Kiziba camp on Tuesday and protesting in front of the office of UNHCR, the U.N. refugee agency, in the Karongi district.
      The army used live ammunition to break up the protest. The protesters said soldiers shot at them and wounded at least two people.

      “While some protesters and a UNHCR representative said they saw a few men throw stones on February 22, the same UNHCR representative confirmed to Human Rights Watch that no protesters carried weapons.”
      A stone is a weapon
      It’s no surprise African police fire back
      It appears rather than being a one hour demonstration
      it was a 3 day stand off , and the first time police fired, no one was killed.

    In 2020 the arson attack on Nantes cathedral was another in a long list of church fires in France. BBC reported the initial story, but have decided the sentence last week of illegal immigrant Emmanuel Abayisenga from Rwanda is not newsworthy.

    Some details from the trial where he got 4 years in jail: he soiled himself in the church, blamed it on incontinence and denied it was a dirty protest at his four deportation orders, admitted lying about previous torture in Rwanda… and he faces another trial for beating to death the 60yr old French priest who took him in after the initial arrest for the fire.

    BBC dropped the story after 2020 — they only quoted his lawyer then as saying “It’s someone who is scared, who is somehow overwhelmed,” and that he felt “relief” after confessing to the arson.

    Usual BBC bias by cowardice.

      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.

    Today we’re hearing a lot about the grooming gangs.

    One thing they all keep saying is that most rapes are being done by whites.
    The figures of many tens of thousands are the generally accepted numbers of little girls abused by the enrichers so by their own statistics there must be more than these tens of thousands being raped and abused by the white population.

    Does this mean that just about every girl has been raped or sexually abused because these are huge numbers.

    My take is that as the enricher crimes are being hidden or ignored there appear to be far fewer happening. The odd prosecution now and then may give them a few to charge so that they can be seen to be doing something but the vast majority are left to get on with it.
    At the same time, the threshold for an indigenous person could be a wolf whistle.
    This would show that fewer crimes are being committed by the enrichers compared to the whites. It’s the type of figure fiddling we are used to.

      In sub-Saharan Africa, 94 percent of the rural population and 73 percent of the urban population, use biomass—wood, charcoal, crop residues, animal dung—and coal as their main source of energy for cooking and heating. Biomass combustion, particularly in open or poorly ventilated stoves, generates numerous pollutants, including particulate matter, carbon monoxide, and other carcinogens that are potentially harmful to the health of poor adult women and their children (who are carried on their mothers’ backs or play by the fire).
      Robert Bailis, Daniel Kammen, and I estimated that, for the year 2000, 350,000 sub-Saharan African children died of lower respiratory infections, and 34,000 adult women died of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, both attributable to indoor air pollution caused by burning biomass

      This is a good example where Greenpeace have used a figure ’40K deaths’, but the interviewee says it’s ’40K premature deaths’. But they don’t say that it’s lives cut short – i.e. pollution takes say 30 days off live expectancy.

      Andrew Neil vs Greenpeace – Air Pollution (car crash interview)

      Take a figure which shows shortened life expectancy (which is hard to determine because obesity etc), total these bits up (days) and convert it into a single person’s life (this is the bad maths bit) then use it in a term ’40K premature deaths’ and then remove the ‘premature’.

      So you end up with driving your car to work is killing 40K people a year – think of the children’s lungs @2:18 . Won’t anyone think of the children!

      TikTok is burrowing into the devices — and the brains — of teens and tweens around the world. But, as the app’s Beijing-based parent company Bytedance is aggressively exporting the social media equivalent of heroin, it’s serving up a far less-damaging product in China that’s designed to protect their own youth.

      While TikTok has become the most popular app in the rest of the world, a domestic version called Douyin is available to Chinese consumers. The apps are nearly identical — but with one critical difference: users under 14 are required to use Douyin in healthy moderation on “teenage mode.”

      Young, impressionable users are limited to 40 minutes a day between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. to ensure they get adequate sleep. Endless zombie-like scrolling is interrupted by mandatory 5-second delays. They’re also only shown specially-selected “inspiring” content.

      Appalling abuse
      Prof Jay’s report describes the abuse as “appalling” and says it included the rape of girls as young as 11 by “large numbers of male perpetrators”.

      Children were raped by multiple attackers, trafficked to other towns and cities in the north of England, abducted, beaten and intimidated, the report revealed.

      Some were doused in petrol and threatened with being set alight, while others were threatened with guns, made to watch “brutally violent rapes” and warned they would be next if they told anyone.

    Ok pop pickers – guys and gals (oops ) I quick review of the 15 minutes I spent listening to BBC mega star Mr Kenneth ‘Ken ‘ Bruce on his new nonBBC channel – greater something –

    Our Ken sounded brighter lighter and the professiona jockey of discs .
    But he is not for me – indeed – I rather stream me own stuff than any radio station ….. a hopefully dying format …

    Not BBC but fellow travellers LBC, the L I presume stands for Labour.
    They’ve been going on and on about todays child abuse government initiatives and it is absolutely dire.

    They have spent all the time opposing any notion of culture as a factor. Apparently most child abuse is by white people. They didn’t mention that most victims are white people of course. White? Most? A bit like most beer is drunk by white people. Most marriages are with white people. Most holidays are taken by white people. Cue lots of..ahem…’non-British’ ….phone-ins explaining how racist it is to mention things like Pakistani Muslims in Rochdale, Rotherham, Telford et al.

    Totally desperate FarLeft anti-white race-baiting.

      10-12 every day on LBC James O’Brien used to promote false conspiracy theories about WHITE politicians raping boys.
      Until his main source Carl Beech was convicted as a fraud.

    “Global energy crisis” BBCnews use that tag on pages
    Why ?
    There’s loads of energy across the world
    people didn’t freeze to death this winter.
    There is an issue with price bubbles
    but generally people manage

    Harmless fun over the former half prince Harry and him drug status in the US . Presumably he has never been cautioned or convicted for a crime so shouldn’t fall foul of lying on a federal immigration document – and presumably admitting to taking drugs doesn’t render him some one who should not be in the US ….
    But he sells papers …

    Did Cashman go to shoot the little girl on purpose or was she shot as a result of some tragic shootout mistake.

    If 42 years is the going rate for killing someone will it also apply to all these killings in, for example, London, where it seems that lots of enrichers are killing each other or is 42 years the going rate for the indigenous Brits.

    For me, you can lock him up and throw away the key but if we are supposed to be fair and impartial it (42 years) should be applied to everyone whether using a gun, a knife or a horseshoe.

        ‘ Macquarie University’s Distinguished Professor also wants to tune the global climate for a better Year 2100, which is where the 400 ladies-who-lather come in. ’

        If the BBC TNI do not get Dylan as next POTUS the flouncing will be to die for.
