    The video is here:
    https://nypost.com/2023/05/02/shocking-video-shows-vagrant-being-choked-to-death-on-nyc-subway/

    This is why the Leftist media disgust me so absolutely. If they had any intent of painting a factual picture, they would have shown what the man was doing to make this marine do what he did.

    But they don’t. The video starts with him in the chokehold already.

    “‘I don’t have food, I don’t have a drink, I’m fed up,'” the man screamed, according to Mr Vazquez. “‘I don’t mind going to jail and getting life in prison. I’m ready to die.'”

    I strongly suspect Mr Vazquez (the journalist behind this story who took the video) is blatantly lying. I expect that is the sentiment he took for what the unfortunate crazy black man said – but I bet my hat it was a LOT more confrontational and threatening than that if he screamed it. How convenient he doesn’t have video for that.

    Disgraceful racist gutter journalism. The USA is truly f*cked.

    Analysis: Kremlin drone attack is highly embarrassing for Moscow
    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-65476085

    Analysis: The missile strike by the Russians the other day hit a building with dozens of high-ranking Ukranian and Western personnel (despite Ukraine shooting them all down). This drone attack may well have been a symbolic retaliation for that.

    Another completely worthless propaganda article by the BBC.

      Just reading elsewhere that the Russians have said that an attempted assasination of Putin makes the assasination of Zelensky a legitimate goal. They even allude to it being desireable – which is understandable considering he was prepared to do it.

      Zelensky reminds me of a dog barking at everybody through the back seat car window. I suspect he will seriously regret what he just did. Even the USA won’t approve of that escalation.

      I wait this ‘counteroffensive’ with great interest. They are being forced to do it whether they are ready or not to stop the people West asking why they are donating these billions of dollars worth or arms to defeat Russia if they can’t do it. It could be a complete disaster.

        John:

        You are assuming Zelensky ordered this attack and there is no evidence for that,

        It could be a Russian false flag, it could have been launched by Russian dissidents, or it could have been launched by Ukrainians with or without Zelensky’s permission.

        We just don’t know.

          The point that rules this out as a Russian false flag for me is that if they wanted to pretend Ukraine tried to assasinate Putin, it would not be with a multi-rotor drone with a small explosive device on top of the empty senate building at night time. It makes no sense.

          It would be a bigger explosion somewhere where Putin could realistically have been expected to be.

          Someone was videoing it from across the street. IMHO it was clearly a locally launched attack where they wanted to show the dome and flag on the senate being blown up.

          Would dissidents do such a thing and escalate the whole war (because that is what they have done) without higher level approval ?. I can’t answer that.

    Local election day!

    Well, it is early.

    On social media the parties are out telling you to vote and how.

    The local media are out and telling you where.

    It seems… notable, so far, both in our shire are struggling to attract any interest. Like, any.

    How this plays out will be interesting.

    At county level the Greens and Limps and so called ‘independents’ (covert Greens) got in and screwed it all up.

    The Conservatives are hoping to get back in but have Westminster and the media to contend with.

    Labour are, as ever, a joke, saying anything to get in.

    I doubt 10% of those turning up know who the candidates are or stand for.

    And I am suspecting a record low turnout that will be claimed as a mandate by some doofus.

    Democracy is beyond flawed now.

        Actually, voting here, in one of the wards of Tunbridge Wells, the other main parties headed by The Alliance Party, managed to take away the Conservative majority, and got the super-expensive People’s Palace vanity-unwanted project chucked out, although we had to still pay all the bills of the hangers-on etc…

        https://www.kentonline.co.uk/tunbridge-wells/news/the-bill-for-calverley-square-220113/

        That really was a victory, and led by The Alliance Party, the whole non-project was scrapped! There are a few Reform party candidates on the ballot papers, but we need The Alliance to clobber the Conservatives, (whom we always voted for until the last poll), and maintain some semblance of order and frugality.

    Good God – the BBC are in full force trying to belittle and discredit the monarchy now.

    Since partygate, they have pushed the ‘acceptable limit’ further and further and as they expected, the Leftists in the MSM and OFCOM have let them do it. Now they are completely confident they can do it again.

    They got rid of an elected PM and now they have their sights on the monarchy.

          https://www.politico.eu/article/succession-has-nothing-on-davos-elite-conclave-mulls-next-leader/

          Schwab has grown WEF’s $6,000 startup capital in 1971 into a $390 million a year business, turning a once sleepy organization into the think tank world’s FIFA.

          WEF is registered as a non-profit, but it’s also a multi-generation family business.

          Schwab’s children Nicole and Olivier hold high-ranking positions in the organization, and his wife Hilde presides over a foundation and awards ceremony in Davos. WEF’s governing statutes give family members rights to board seats.

        Being the ultimate hypocrites they are, they will be torn between personal gain and their socialist ideology. But personal gain always wins for these weak and shallow people. As the SNP have so eloquently demonstrated.

    BBC funding. According to a YouGov poll, just one in five Brits back ‘completely outdated’ BBC licence fee.

    “When asked what the best model for funding our national broadcaster would be, only 21% of voters want to carry on with current system where every household has to pay £159 per year.

    Instead 36% say they would rather the BBC ran adverts like commercial rivals ITV.

    16% would rather have a pay-to-view subscription model like Netflix of Sky TV, while 13% say the BBC should just be paid for out of general taxation.

    Lib Dems are most keen on the Licence Fee, backed by 35% of their 2019 voters.

    That drops to 28% of Labour voters and just 19% of those that voted Tory last time round.”

      BBC Radio 1, 13 March 2023

      When covering the row over Gary Lineker’s social media comments on the government’s migrant policy we reported: “He said the language the Government was using wasn’t dissimilar to 1930s Germany. That’s when the Nazis were in charge there and were killing millions of Jewish people”. To be clear, the murders of millions of Jewish men, women and children by Nazi Germany as part of the Holocaust mainly happened in the 1940s. The 1930s saw the rise to power of the Nazi party in Germany, which persecuted Jewish people and later invaded Poland, leading to the Second World War.

    Lefty news folk of the Guardian seem to have a penchant for wrinkling out any victim story they can especially if it affects one of their protected group, and even better if it attacks the wealthy or Tories.

    It must be the first thing they do when they wake up.

    This in the Guardian from the ever reliable moaner Zoe or something covers a story of some charity building women only high rise flats in London for single women who can’t afford market prices or are victims of male oppression, or of course are black.

    https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/may/04/women-only-housing-britain-handmaids-social-london

    You could say, what a good idea (ignoring the fact that there are probably more single homeless men who don’t matter of course), but not our Zoe….

    Lots of comparisons with Victorian London when female servants had to live in the loft and couldn’t afford children.

    Yes folks it’s all down the the wicked upper classes, especially the Tories and Especially Boris, and King Charles for good luck….

    Nothing at all to do with the millions of large immigrant families filling London properties on government support and pricing singles out of the market….

    BBC London
    15 April 2023

    In a BBC London news bulletin on Saturday 15th April about a protest in Trafalgar Square we said: “Campaigners against the ultra-low emission zone held a protest in central London today. Local protestors and mainstream politicians were joined by conspiracy theorists and far right groups.”

    BBC London had deployed a reporter to the protest and she witnessed, and documented, first hand, motifs on tabards and placards with explicit Nazi references, along with other epithets about world order and democracy.

    We are satisfied the protest was covered accurately and the script was a fair description of the people and groups attending the event.

    Viewers were also directed to the BBC London website for a comprehensive look at the arguments for and against ULEZ.

    ….

    Today the BBC journalists Michael Keohan and Colin Campbell released a shocking report on the channel crossings. It showed people smugglers selling their wares brazenly in the migrant camps and many children living in unsafe and dangerous conditions, as well as—this is breathtaking—a free French public bus service that migrants can use to travel directly from the camps to the Dunkirk departure beaches. Will my right hon. Friend allow a statement on the issue of tackling the small boat crossings and the Government’s response in their work with France?

    When Marcus Rashford was seen to be taking on the UK government over making sure no child went hungry, and latterly regarding universal credit, the messages of support came thick and fast for the Man United star.

    On Twitter they always seemed to hit the sweet spot as far as public opinion was concerned, but the striker might have to steel himself from a backlash.

        Thanks Dickie, Andrew Bridgen’s is one of the few voices of integrity to be heard among our MPs. They were all exempt from compulsory vaccination themselves and I’d be interested to know whether or not the MP referred to in the article received his jab. It appears likely that he would have been in favour of advocating, if not enforcing, mandatory vaccination for his own constituents. I believe we will see many more of our current crop of MPs becoming more and more uncomfortable while seeking to maintain and justify their stance against the mounting scientific evidence.

    Further to the Election That Saord Without Trace, my chum Lena from impartial BBC supplier Compass has fired me an email….

    ___

    Dear Rube,

    Today, in over 8,000 races across England, over 200 councils are up for election.

    To understand where we are, we looked into exactly those councils. What we found made headlines.

    44% of all the councils up for elections are controlled by Conservatives. Of those, the Tories won power in three quarters of them despite winning less than 50% of the popular vote.

    There are 10 councils where the Tories hold the majority of seats with less than 40% of the votes – a shocking democratic deficit.

    Read the full report here.
    Read our new report “Democracy Denied”
    This is due to our voting system – where progressives are divided, the right is united and wins.

    It doesn’t have to be like this. But it’s not enough to just hope.

    That’s why Compass members in Oxfordshire have been working for months to run a tactical voting campaign to overturn the last Tory held council in the county.

    That’s why Compass members in Canterbury have been making voting recommendations and getting coverage to the national press.

    That’s why in Stratford, Devon, and Hertfordshire members were on the streets boosting the case for the progressive vote and making sure voters know to bring their photo ID with them today.

    Tomorrow we will be taking to twitter to shine a light on the impact of their work.
    Follow us for live coverage of the results
    Thanks to the generous support of our members and supporters, we’ve now raised £20,000 towards our election fighting fund.

    That is how we support our local groups – and support the work happening on the ground, on the street, and hopefully, at the ballot.

    Tomorrow we will digest results, celebrate our wins, and learn the lessons of our losses. Then we get ready to Win As One for the Big One – the General Election – to change politics, and change our country.

    ​​If you are voting today, we hope you’re voting to Win As One where you are.
    In determination,

    Lena
    Campaigns Officer

    ***

    And that’s why BBc, BBC local, and BBC local democracy media prop these guys up.

    Why holiday in a socialist country – when you can live there!

    We can overcome this impasse! Let’s Move Forward! “Enough for the Many, Enough for the Few”.

    It seems to me that Labour have lost (democratically@40%) but act as though they have won and the Conservatives have won (democratically@42.4%) but are waiting to lose, rather than take power and getting on with it.

    So I suggest rather than this continuing this tiring political, we take this problem further a field. Venezuela is praised by some Labour Members as a socialist dream, along with Cuba, South Africa and China. So we do a ‘wealth transfer’ of people.

    All members of Labour Party with families (483,000 Labour Members March2017) can transfer to one of the countries that signs up for this great experiment. In response, people from the socialist countries who no longer want the socialist dream, because they are living it, can come to the UK – trying to keep it one for one as close as possible – same skill would be great but this won’t be completely possible.

    We run this for 10 years and see where we get to. Socialist get to build their socialist dream in a socialist country, possibly with sunnier weather. The people who have had enough of the socialist dream can come to the UK to work hard and improve the UK.

    “For all his flaws, Castro’s support for Angola played a crucial role in bringing an end to Apartheid in South Africa and he will be remembered both as an internationalist and a champion of social justice.” – Corbyn

    “Thanks Hugo Chavez for showing that the poor matter and wealth can be shared. He made massive contributions to Venezuela & a very wide world” – Corbyn

    “He said his ‘core values’ (interesting to know what they are) had not changed during the 34 years (thats a lot of time to be an MP) as an MP and cited his campaigning against discrimination in South Africa and fighting ‘unfairness’.” Corbyn, april2017

    “Well over 150,000 Venezuelans have fled the country in the last year alone, the highest in more than a decade, according to scholars studying the exodus.” newyorkpost / nov2016

    The total full-time staff numbers are at 18,974 this year compared with 18,674 in the previous 12 months. The amount spent on on-screen and on-air talent has also increased from £194.23m in 2013/14 to £208.49m in 2014/15.

Zheng is said to have been the ‘architect’ of the crackdown on democracy in Hong Kong. The Montacutie invites on Chris Patten, the last Governor of Hong Kong to comment on the invitation. Patten does not approve either. Apparently, it is all the fault of the Government. Now, there’s a surprise!

    Right at the end Sarah asks the former Governor to opine on Richard Sharp the former Chairman of the BBC. Something remarkable is said by Chris Patten that I feel sure will have been picked up on by other posters here. He said that the Americans look on the BBC as a State Broadcaster which it is not. Then he said “… we must give them lots of (taxpayer) money …” which, of course, means that the BBC is the State broadcaster.

      Yes, I caught a segment where the silver fox bloke who used to be into antiques presenting has suddenly morphed into a wildlife and countryside presenter (bloody good agent he has!)

      He was interviewing a twenty something lass “expert’ about preserving and encouraging birdlife in our gardens by doing stuff such as nest boxes and fat balls hanging from trees etc.

      Seems at odds with the fact that it is recognised that the biggest killers of wild birds are in fact pet garden cats who are having a bonanza with all the luckless birds who are tempted into the gardens for a quick snack but end up becoming a quick snack themselves.

      From the RSPB website

      “The most recent figures of how many creatures are killed by cats are from the Mammal Society. They estimate that cats in the UK catch in the order of 92 million prey items over spring and summer, of which around 27 million are birds.”

      In effect if no-one put out any bird bait, the birds would have to resort to nature and find their food out in the countryside as they did historically where as a bonus they wouldn’t keep locking horns with “Tiddles”.

      Sometimes wonder how they manage to fit so much stupid under-researched Boll**ks into so little time!

      Tesla’s Fit in China
      Why China?
      China is an important market for the automotive industry, particularly for EVs, due to its vast consumer market and strong central financial system. China is Tesla’s second biggest market and selling high volumes of EVs in China is a large part of Tesla’s business plan.

      China’s mature industrial production chain, and lithium-ion battery production capacity also make China an ideal location for manufacturing. Furthermore, China’s rare-earth metal production and electronics manufacturing capabilities, are crucial for producing core EV components (batteries, electric motors, and electric controls).

      Tesla in China grew significantly past 2020 after completing its Gigafactory in Shanghai in late 2019. This is beneficial to the company for two reasons. Firstly, because production in China spares Tesla from import tariffs on finished vehicles, and secondly, its locally made cars qualify for government subsidies. Because China is an important supplier of automotive parts for the global industry as well as a hotbed for electric mobility and smart grids, it has been the perfect place for Tesla.

    I’m looking forward to chatting to a bunch of interesting people about what it means to be a modern man. From the old fashioned stereotypes to gender identity, I hope people find these conversations interesting, insightful and perhaps even useful.

    Across the ten episodes, Rylan talks to people from a range of backgrounds in an attempt to find out what it means to be a man, including school teacher, content creator and CBBC presenter Kit Brown, first triple amputee from Afghanistan Mark Ormrod, Strictly Come Dancing’s 2022 winner and nature presenter Hamza Yassin, trans man and activist Freddy McConnell, the first openly gay professional footballer Jake Daniels, comedian Phil Wang, super model David Gandy, interior designer and iconic Changing Rooms presenter Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, boxer Amir Khan, and broadcaster journalist and writer Janet Street-Porter.

    With calls for reparations to be paid by Britain to all manner of folks and , worse, some demented Brits treating such calls seriously eg the idiots Trevelyan and the King, it can only be a matter of time before we get:

    A. Some ‘professional ‘ arbiters who assess the claimant case and decide what an appropriate amount should be . If the ‘defendant’ doesn’t pay they will be shamed, cancelled and attacked relentlessly.

    B. A government inquiry into reparations for slavery which after a few months ( this one will be quick) recommends that the claims be paid on some sliding scale by , you guessed it , the tax payers. Probably a new ring fenced tax will be levied to pay these reparations.

    In my view if an idiot wants to pay reparations for something that their ancestors did over two hundred years ago then they can go ahead on the following basis. The payment must be done with no publicity and there is zero implication that those of us who think it’s a load of baloney must pay anything ever.

    Once these virtue signalling fools get zero publicity for abasing themselves in public they will immediately stop doing it. If no one ever sees your frantic signalling of your virtue why bother?

      Dane-Geld
      A.D. 980-1016
      It is always a temptation to an armed and agile nation
      To call upon a neighbour and to say: —
      “We invaded you last night–we are quite prepared to fight,
      Unless you pay us cash to go away.”

      And that is called asking for Dane-geld,
      And the people who ask it explain
      That you’ve only to pay ’em the Dane-geld
      And then you’ll get rid of the Dane!

      It is always a temptation for a rich and lazy nation,
      To puff and look important and to say: —
      “Though we know we should defeat you, we have not the time to meet you.
      We will therefore pay you cash to go away.”

      And that is called paying the Dane-geld;
      But we’ve proved it again and again,
      That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld
      You never get rid of the Dane.

      It is wrong to put temptation in the path of any nation,
      For fear they should succumb and go astray;
      So when you are requested to pay up or be molested,
      You will find it better policy to say: —

      “We never pay any-one Dane-geld,
      No matter how trifling the cost;
      For the end of that game is oppression and shame,
      And the nation that pays it is lost!”

Sowell sees what has happened during that time not as a series of isolated mistakes but as a logical consequence of a tainted vision whose defects have led to crises in education, crime, and family dynamics, and to other social pathologies. In this book, he describes how elites,the anointed,have replaced facts and rational thinking with rhetorical assertions, thereby altering the course of our social policy.
