Yuusuf Warsame, eight, was visiting family in Gothenburg when projectile was thrown into flat in possible gang-related attack

An eight-year-old schoolboy from Birmingham has been killed after a grenade was thrown into an apartment where he was sleeping in Sweden.
Yuusuf Warsame was visiting family in Gothenburg when the explosive was thrown by an unidentified attacker through a window of the third-floor apartment early on Monday. He died from his injuries in his mother’s arms on the way to hospital. The attack has been linked to a gangland feud.
Big award news on the home page at the weekend: “Green bread is crowned Britain’s best loaf.” Ah a classic example of British bakery… just happens to go by the name ‘Brioche Japonais’.
“Miyo Aoetsu now runs Kuma-San Bakehouse professionally from her home in Matlock, supplying local businesses and baking loaves for customers to collect. Her award-winning loaf was inspired by her Japanese heritage and also her time living in France.”
And I’d put £20 on the far-right Hovis taking gold. More fool me.
“She said she was “very excited” to win awards for her Brioche Japanois because it reflected her Japanese culture and identity.”
Brioche
Like many of the most delicious bakery products, brioche bread comes from France. It’s debated where exactly in France it originated, but it has a long tradition all over France, particularly in the Normandy region.
Technical hitch here, In the old thread my BiasedBBC page went completely white so I had to work in an incognito window
.. Probably some cache error or cos I had been using High Contrast app
Anyways the new thread is working fine
Funnily enough the old thread chose to subscribe me to it and kept sending me emails saying it had a new comment. I could not unsubscribe : it was telling me my email was not the right one.
Back to normal now for me too .. software gremlins must have nibbled the last thread.
In other words, they are not going to do it! Did they ever plan to do it ? Change the government and “stop the boats”! We are being betrayed by a bunch of jokers .
Just catching up on Eurovision results and immediately see people are claiming it’s fixed because the winner kept her microphone on after her performance ready for doing it again after she won.
They claim it’s fixed so they can have a big extravanganza in Sweden next year on the 50th anniversary of Abba winning.
My only concern is that these people actually think it’s NOT fixed !!. Of course it is : it’s the most corrupt show there is. It sums up the Left, the EU and the BBC perfectly to me. No scruples whatsoever : 100% agenda.
I watched the winning song and it is rubbish. Definitely not a winning song. So I then watched the one everybody says should have won from Finland and as bad as it was, it did make me laugh – especially the grinning idiots dressed in pink.
None of this reported by the BBC of course because from what I can gather, they have funded this one to the tune to tens of millions of pounds. Which – in the true spirit of the event – gives us free entry to the grand final without having to be any good.
And of course they love to see us humiliated by the Europeans again.
Just been looking at the UK entry and was somewhat stunned to discover it is an nasty misandrist piece Beyonce would be proud of.
Basically it’s a woman venting spite on hey boyfirend who cheated on her.
I wondered how on earth such a song from such an unpleasant woman could be picked. So I checked and here it is:
‘Muller was selected as the 2023 UK entrant by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) in collaboration with record label TaP Music and their management company.’
Checking around, it seems the other entries are all chosen by a National competition. But the arrogant BBC seem to have decided THEY should choose ours !!. And look at the result. Why is nobody criticising them for it ?.
Another subtle form of Leftist fascism. Why do I suspect those who chose it were mostly women ?.
‘TAP FUTURES is the not-for-profit philanthropic arm of TaP, built on our core belief that diversity within the creative, entertainment and sports industries is enriching for all.’
Anybody else rememeber the “A Song For Europe” contest, held solely to choose our entry? In 1967 Sandie Shaw sang six songs (one a week) on The Rolf Harris Show (whatever happened to him?) and Puppet On A String won the public vote. It might still have been a stitch up then, but at least it was not so obvious.
Martin & Coulter, both with a string of hit songs. I thought it had been written by Jackie de Shannon, another successful song writer, and had to resort to the interwebby to check on my memory.
Talking of gay fests I was in a restaurant yesterday, mostly full of normal couples except one, two “girls” blatantly snogging and cuddling, but with their attention on everyone else.
I got the distinct impression they were hoping for some disapproval as they kept scanning the room.
I have rarely, if ever, seen normal hetero couple behave like this in public but, in Cambridge especially, see more and more behaviour like this from gays, I suspect, so they can run to the bbc with a story about victimhood.
It is simple provocation IMO, from nasty people like the below, who attacked a woman and her husband filming the altercation.
The victim had the nerve to complain to her server in Starbucks about the fact they would not take cash for a coffee, this “thing” interrupted her and the woman said
“I was not talking to you I was talking to this lady”
The thing then attacked her on the premise that “this lady” apparently “identified as a man” which made the complainant “transphobic” thus ripe to be attacked by this thing.
See below, for a video taken by the husband of this thing in action, a prime example of how our society has degraded :
EXCLUSIVE Woman, 55, accused by trans Starbucks manager of being ‘transphobic’ says she feared for her life when she was thrown out of cafe ‘for calling non-binary employee “lady”‘
When I worked night shift at Gatwick airport I caught the train home in the morning after the pride event in Brighton one year and two flouncing queens were going up and down the carriages yelling how they’ve had a great time over the weekend, when they got to me they told me to cheer up and I replied “after cleaning shitty toilets on planes all night I think I’m entitled to have a nap on the way home without two cats screeching “ fair play to them as they shut up. Could have been the smell of aero clean which was foul though.
Saying she feared for her life is a blatant lie of the Daily Mail which have been running daily anti trannie stories.
She argued back vociferously and at no time did she ever display any sign of fear.
A horrific entitled stoodent type who has been able to get away with this behaviour in yooni suddenly finds the baseless accusations no longer work in the real world.
Home
Cost of living
War in Ukraine
Climate
etc etc
Why does the bbc have to prioritise these heading. Does Climate for example need to be there ALL the time, can’t people just look up what they want to see. Guess that speaks volumes for the bbc and what propaganda it wants the public to see ALL the time
Its a wonder the likes of the bBC has time for anything else, its all about Ukraine, and what they can get out of us. Shame the British military is short of equipment, but with the invaders arriving in their 100,000’s thousands we dont really need an armed force anymore 🙁
Fresh from the EUsong contest and BAFDAs The Ukrainian comedian is here for lots of photo opportunities and lots of borrowed taxpayers money to pay for his war .
( retired ) General Sir Richard Shiriff – interviewed by meesh – he wants us – nato – to take on Russia – sounded very Colonel Blimp – perhaps for Russian consumption .
Come on – give the Ukrainian our military aircraft – don’t worry they’ve promised not to attack Russia and get the full scale war going .
Maybe the general wants to give them our nuclear weapons as well – he was speaking from his bunker in NZ ….
Jonnie Turkey – the narrative is written that the election in Turkey was / is / going to be ‘stolen ‘ by the current chap . Election cheating apparently –
Time for the BBC to do its usual ‘ there is no evidence for this ‘ or the ‘false claims ‘prefix applied to president trump …. ?
But I think I lost my 50p bet on erdugon ( or is that the man citeh striker ?)
I’ve decided I’m not ‘early middle age’,any more I’m just ‘old ‘. This is because I looked at a report on the BAFTAs and don’t recognise any of the programmes or indeed the actors – apart from’ Derry Girls ‘ which went one series too far ….
Or maybe I’m not ‘old ‘ I just don’t bother with TV anymore.
Apparent the BBC cut out political comments by presenters and winners –
I noticed what didn’t win anything was a series called “The Responder” which was very good but it showed the stresses and difficulties that the police on the ground go through and the main character was white, I should’ve guessed that it wouldn’t get anything.
There was a scene in ‘The Responder’ where a (white) drug-dealer
– a vicious, knife-wielding, low-life thug – cornered a black policewoman and hurled every kind of insult at her. And yet not one word of this torrent of abuse was race-based. Amazing!
These non-stories pushed to the top by the BBC always worry me because it means they know something is going on and want to make sure we are all thinking in-line with their agenda by hyping the topic up before it happens.
I have a feeling the big offensive is not going very well and people are going to start asking why we are giving Ukraine so much when the only effect is that hundered of thousands more die in the process – and Zelensky is starting to panic.
Out of the mouths of babes, or the young turks edition
The Labour-supporting Daily Mirror this morning boasts: Starmer Exclusive – some coup, eh? Well, to be fair of late he’s usually seen running first to the socialism-curious Times newspaper to give his interviews.
Call election now and let Labour save Britain (Mirror) – so says the piggy-eyed personality by-pass stuffed shirt former lawyer now taking his cues direct from Tony Blair
Save Britain from what, precisely?
Economic recession self-inflicted by Lockdowns and our boomerang sanctions Proxy War with Russia – each disastrously misguided policy fully supported in opposition by one Sir Keir Starmer?
And Starmer’s big idea is… Outrage over Labour plan to ‘reopen Brexit’ (Daily Express) – of course the arch-Remainer Sir Keir is being pretty consistent here since we recall he campaigned so vigourously against our Brexit vote and in favour of a re-run vote.
I suppose cosying up to Brussels might alleviate somewhat the EU punishment regime they continue to wield against us – everything from making us pay for that Eurovision show, then trashing us with nil points – facilitating the Channel dinghy invaders – to turning the economic screws whenever and wherever possible: Clearing houses – which reduce market risk by standing between two parties in a trade – have been a key battleground since Brexit… but the EU is intent on moving the clearing… to the continent as soon as it is practical to do so. (FT)
There comes a point where one reluctantly gives in to the protection racketeers – just for a bit of peace and quiet.
“Making Your Mind Up” sang Bucks Fizz in 1981
Seems our minds are to made up for us…
Starmer to use EU citizens to ‘rig’ polls… millions of European workers in UK – AND British teenagers… (Daily Mail)
Ah, the wisdom of the young, eh?
It’s a theme made explicit in the BBC-approved left-leaning youth-orientated ‘i’ newspaper this morning: Young voters plea for hope in Turkey…
To borrow, and to slightly adjust, a line from 1970s TV game show host Hughie Green: Remember kids, it’s your votes that count…!
Save Britain’s rivers – so says: Brian May ‘We’re in danger of drowning in our own effluent’ (‘i’) – our own effluent, or the excess strain put on our infrastructure by the sudden addition of millions of new arrivals’ effluent?
Remarkably this whiggish liberal old rocker with his amazing grey locks looks the very image of George Frederick Handel (You’ll have heard his hit track Zadok the Priest during the Coronation) or somesuch other grand bewigged eighteenth century bigwig of the type one used to see on the back of banknotes.
Mr AsI enjoys harping on (harpsichording on?) hereabouts about how Lockdown demoralised the workforce.

Great fun – the talk of 700 000 plus ‘new people ‘ to the UK in 2022 meets the huge achievement of the emir of londonistan that he is building 120 000 across 5? Years …. So do the math(s)
The emir was quizzed by meesh about the tedious arrest of Republican protesters at the king thing – looks like someone in the BBC has pals in ‘republic ‘

Bradford population
The Office for National Statistics published the mid-2021 population estimates on 21 December 2022 and these update the population estimates from the 2021 Census.
The mid-2021 results show that Bradford has a total population of 547,000 – an increase of 4,800 (0.9%) people since the mid-2020 population estimates were published and an increase of 600 people since the 2021 census results were published.
The population consists of 48.5% male and 51.5% female.
Giving votes to youngsters as young as 16 seems to be an accepted left wing tactic. The Scottish and Welsh Councils (Parliament’s) have done it for obvious reasons. Get them young, SNP, Labour and Plaid youth.
There’s no way sixteen year olds have maturity or any idea how the World works or understands finance or politics. It’s simply a ruse for Socialists to brainwash kids into voting for them. I actually think 18 is too young, 30 is more like it. By 30 people will have been employed and had some life experience.
Give votes to aborted fetus. They may be less inclined to vote for parties supporting mass murder. Der Starmer would not approve because gerrrymandering is in their DNA.
“Consider this, I give this example. If immigration continues at the levels it has average over the last ten years. Britain will be adding 10 million people to it’s population in the next 20 years. That means building a new house roughly every seven minutes. Now, we currently have no leadership from the Liberal Democrats, Conservative or Labour Parties saying they are going to do anything to change that course. @5:56 … if any party wishing to get into power doesn’t address this they are committing political suicide….@10:30″ {youtube – Douglas Murray – oct2015}
… but wait, someone, who is now in power to act out their words, did mention this problem and almost suggests that ‘too high immigration’ should be reduced …
“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. It’s difficult for schools and hospitals and core infrastructure like housing and transport to cope. And we know that for people in low-paid jobs, wages are forced down even further while some people are forced out of work altogether. … So there is no case, in the national interest, for immigration of the scale we have experienced over the last decade.”
Theresa May as Home Secretary // Speech to the Conservative Party Conference – in full / 06.10.2015
If ever the great British public realise that so much is crap because of an extra 10 million people they might really really get … quite upset … where’s the remote ?

Officers raided her home and found class A drugs, drugs paraphernalia, and a large quantity of cash.”

Extinction Rebellion donor leads world’s top-performing hedge fund
This article is more than 1 year old
Chris Hohn’s TCI fund, known as one of the most aggressive activist investors, made a 23% gain in 2021
Hedge fund manager Sir Chris Hohn once made a point of telling a high court judge that he was an “unbelievable moneymaker”. This week Hohn proved his point – definitively – when it was revealed that he paid himself just shy of £1m-a-day last year.
Hohn collected $479m (£343m) in annual dividend payments from his The Children’s Investment (TCI) fund in the biggest ever personal payday in the UK after doubling profits at his Mayfair hedge fund, run from an office a couple of doors down from Louis Vuitton’s flagship store.

E-mail this to a friend Printable version Jail toilets face away from Mecca
Facilities in a prison are being built so Muslim inmates do not have to face Mecca while sitting on the toilet.
The Home Office said two new toilet blocks are being installed as part of a refurbishment at Brixton jail in south London.
Faith leaders had told prison bosses it was unacceptable for Muslim inmates to face Mecca while using the toilet.
“The refurbishment has been carried out with due consideration for all faiths”, a Home Office spokeswoman said.
“Following consultation with faith leaders within the prison, various small adjustments were made to ensure the faith issues of all prisoners are taken into account.”
She added: “The money spent did not affect the overall cost of the refurbishment programme.”
and they’re going to get less say in how that’s done….?

I just noticed the diversity wool being pulled a little more over our eyes.
Over the years I am sure we have all been badgered on TV to send dosh to help rescue working donkeys being horribly abused by usually darker skinned foreigners and often covered in horrific wounds and scars etc.
This morning I just witnessed the “new” rewrite to push the new narrative. In the latest incarnation the donkeys injuries are mysterious and ignored and the people who own them just want some cash to help look after them. Lots of dusky children stroking and caring for the animals.
So the donkeys were never overworked and abused by their owners, now the injuries etc, just sort of magically happen somehow.
Stopping these people from doing this is therefore not required any longer whereas your cash donations still are.
Hah…probably a directive from OFCOM was issued….the joys of diversity and seekers of truth!
National FGM Support Clinics
-Female genital mutilation (FGM)
Contents
Overview
National FGM Support Clinics
National FGM Support Clinics (NFGMSCs) are community-based clinics that offer a range of support services for women with female genital mutilation (FGM).
The service is free to access for anyone who’s eligible for NHS care.
Is this service available for females who have been brainwashed into believing they can be turned into males through surgery and have had their dangly bits hacked about?
Anecdotal evidence:
“NEVER SHOW ME ANYTHING LIKE THAT AGAIN!”
Shouted by a colleague above the noise of the machines at our place of work some years ago.
Red-faced and furious, he told me that the Pakistani who worked near me had just showed him a video on his phone that he thought was hilarious. The video was of a donkey being pushed off a bridge to its death, for a joke, by Pakistani youths.
Pretty sure that concern for animals is a British thing that doesn’t trouble people in the Third World.
Some questions for the regulars to consider: is the Guardian Media Group in financial trouble? Are they cutting back on their print output, including their deliveries direct to the BBC? Are they considering a move to ‘on-line only’ ?

‘We don’t know what will happen, what will be the reaction of the white and Christian Europeans faced with this influx of starving and ignorant Africans,’ Col Gaddafi said…

He told them that Islam should become the religion of Europe and gave them free copies of the Koran, after he had lectured them for an hour on the freedoms enjoyed by women in Libya.”

What a pleasure it was to hear John Redwood on Toady this morning.
The presenter, Remainin I think, kept interrupting of course but Redwood kept to a simple line. If there are 700,000 nett immigrants every year, and an existing housing crisis, then where are they all going to live? Remainin sounded cross but also strangely flummoxed.
I have no answers but two comments. In Londonistan, a lot of houses are having their garages converted into rooms, in addition to large extensions and sometimes even garden bungalows.
And if Labour get in, presumably all over the age of about 10 will be given a vote.
Query of the day. Our ‘how to vote’ forms from the council come in about 10 languages, many of which do not use the normal European alphabet. So how do the recipients of these decide who to vote for if they cannot understand written and presumably also spoken English?
> If there are 700,000 nett immigrants every year, and an existing housing crisis, then where are they all going to live?
Perhaps they’ll offer a discount on council tax if you have any spare rooms. Or, more likely impose penalties on your council tax if you have unused bedrooms in your house. Or, to cut to the chase: if your house is not as diverse as current adverts suggest then you are racist and deserve to have it forced upon you.
Always good to see a taxpayer subsidised nationalised industry performing up to its usual standard of customer service.

Some of the participants at the rally, crippled or bereaved by the vaccines, will be familiar to you from their appearances on The Mark Steyn Show over the last year-and-a-half, but the new GB News, mired in Tories’n’trivia, now dismisses them as “crazy conspiracy theorists”.
That’s the Ofcom Effect, as enforced by Lord Grade, Dame Melanie Dawes and their shadowy commissars. I note, by the way, that, say what you will about Canada’s execrable “human rights” tribunals, but their censors were at least obliged to put their names to their rulings. At Ofcom, the all-powerful judges are anonymous: what a disgrace to English law.
“But we have learnt somethings in the last 10 years. We have learnt that most of the press in free western countries are cowards. We’ve learnt that most of our artistic establishment are cowards. Most of our politicians are cowards. We’ve learnt that industries that spend much of their year in award ceremonies patting themselves on the back for their bravery, stop when bravery is required.” – Douglas Murray @5:00
OFCOM Rule: On ‘NO’ account should any journalist report on these documents. These Pfizer vaccine safety documents are supposed to be secret for the next 55 years. OFCOM condemns the Texan judge who ordered the premature release of these documents. The nice trusted people at Pfizer told OFCOM that their mRNA vaccines are ‘Safe & Effective’. So therefore OFCOM will punish anyone who disagrees with what Pfizer told OFCOM and the health authorities. Members of OFCOM have heart felt trust in Pfizer, and all have had lots of jabs from and kisses for the boss of Pfizer, Albert Bourla. So if an Israeli criminologist says Pfizer is a criminal organisation, then OFCOM will punish Andrew Bridgen MP.

An eight-year-old schoolboy from Birmingham has been killed after a grenade was thrown into an apartment where he was sleeping in Sweden.
Yuusuf Warsame was visiting family in Gothenburg when the explosive was thrown by an unidentified attacker through a window of the third-floor apartment early on Monday. He died from his injuries in his mother’s arms on the way to hospital. The attack has been linked to a gangland feud.

Big award news on the home page at the weekend: “Green bread is crowned Britain’s best loaf.” Ah a classic example of British bakery… just happens to go by the name ‘Brioche Japonais’.
“Miyo Aoetsu now runs Kuma-San Bakehouse professionally from her home in Matlock, supplying local businesses and baking loaves for customers to collect. Her award-winning loaf was inspired by her Japanese heritage and also her time living in France.”
And I’d put £20 on the far-right Hovis taking gold. More fool me.

Like many of the most delicious bakery products, brioche bread comes from France. It’s debated where exactly in France it originated, but it has a long tradition all over France, particularly in the Normandy region.

Just catching up on Eurovision results and immediately see people are claiming it’s fixed because the winner kept her microphone on after her performance ready for doing it again after she won.
They claim it’s fixed so they can have a big extravanganza in Sweden next year on the 50th anniversary of Abba winning.
My only concern is that these people actually think it’s NOT fixed !!. Of course it is : it’s the most corrupt show there is. It sums up the Left, the EU and the BBC perfectly to me. No scruples whatsoever : 100% agenda.
I watched the winning song and it is rubbish. Definitely not a winning song. So I then watched the one everybody says should have won from Finland and as bad as it was, it did make me laugh – especially the grinning idiots dressed in pink.
None of this reported by the BBC of course because from what I can gather, they have funded this one to the tune to tens of millions of pounds. Which – in the true spirit of the event – gives us free entry to the grand final without having to be any good.
And of course they love to see us humiliated by the Europeans again.

Just been looking at the UK entry and was somewhat stunned to discover it is an nasty misandrist piece Beyonce would be proud of.
Basically it’s a woman venting spite on hey boyfirend who cheated on her.
I wondered how on earth such a song from such an unpleasant woman could be picked. So I checked and here it is:
‘Muller was selected as the 2023 UK entrant by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) in collaboration with record label TaP Music and their management company.’
Checking around, it seems the other entries are all chosen by a National competition. But the arrogant BBC seem to have decided THEY should choose ours !!. And look at the result. Why is nobody criticising them for it ?.
Another subtle form of Leftist fascism. Why do I suspect those who chose it were mostly women ?.
The BBC activists are totally out of control now.

Anybody else rememeber the “A Song For Europe” contest, held solely to choose our entry? In 1967 Sandie Shaw sang six songs (one a week) on The Rolf Harris Show (whatever happened to him?) and Puppet On A String won the public vote. It might still have been a stitch up then, but at least it was not so obvious.

Talking of gay fests I was in a restaurant yesterday, mostly full of normal couples except one, two “girls” blatantly snogging and cuddling, but with their attention on everyone else.
I got the distinct impression they were hoping for some disapproval as they kept scanning the room.
I have rarely, if ever, seen normal hetero couple behave like this in public but, in Cambridge especially, see more and more behaviour like this from gays, I suspect, so they can run to the bbc with a story about victimhood.
It is simple provocation IMO, from nasty people like the below, who attacked a woman and her husband filming the altercation.
The victim had the nerve to complain to her server in Starbucks about the fact they would not take cash for a coffee, this “thing” interrupted her and the woman said
“I was not talking to you I was talking to this lady”
The thing then attacked her on the premise that “this lady” apparently “identified as a man” which made the complainant “transphobic” thus ripe to be attacked by this thing.
See below, for a video taken by the husband of this thing in action, a prime example of how our society has degraded :

When I worked night shift at Gatwick airport I caught the train home in the morning after the pride event in Brighton one year and two flouncing queens were going up and down the carriages yelling how they’ve had a great time over the weekend, when they got to me they told me to cheer up and I replied “after cleaning shitty toilets on planes all night I think I’m entitled to have a nap on the way home without two cats screeching “ fair play to them as they shut up.

Saying she feared for her life is a blatant lie of the Daily Mail which have been running daily anti trannie stories.
She argued back vociferously and at no time did she ever display any sign of fear.

Out of the mouths of babes, or the young turks edition
The Labour-supporting Daily Mirror this morning boasts: Starmer Exclusive – some coup, eh? Well, to be fair of late he’s usually seen running first to the socialism-curious Times newspaper to give his interviews.
Call election now and let Labour save Britain (Mirror) – so says the piggy-eyed personality by-pass stuffed shirt former lawyer now taking his cues direct from Tony Blair
Save Britain from what, precisely?
Economic recession self-inflicted by Lockdowns and our boomerang sanctions Proxy War with Russia – each disastrously misguided policy fully supported in opposition by one Sir Keir Starmer?
And Starmer’s big idea is… Outrage over Labour plan to ‘reopen Brexit’ (Daily Express) – of course the arch-Remainer Sir Keir is being pretty consistent here since we recall he campaigned so vigourously against our Brexit vote and in favour of a re-run vote.
I suppose cosying up to Brussels might alleviate somewhat the EU punishment regime they continue to wield against us – everything from making us pay for that Eurovision show, then trashing us with nil points – facilitating the Channel dinghy invaders – to turning the economic screws whenever and wherever possible: Clearing houses – which reduce market risk by standing between two parties in a trade – have been a key battleground since Brexit… but the EU is intent on moving the clearing… to the continent as soon as it is practical to do so. (FT)
There comes a point where one reluctantly gives in to the protection racketeers – just for a bit of peace and quiet.
“Making Your Mind Up” sang Bucks Fizz in 1981
Seems our minds are to made up for us…
Starmer to use EU citizens to ‘rig’ polls… millions of European workers in UK – AND British teenagers… (Daily Mail)
Ah, the wisdom of the young, eh?
It’s a theme made explicit in the BBC-approved left-leaning youth-orientated ‘i’ newspaper this morning: Young voters plea for hope in Turkey…
To borrow, and to slightly adjust, a line from 1970s TV game show host Hughie Green: Remember kids, it’s your votes that count…!
Save Britain’s rivers – so says: Brian May ‘We’re in danger of drowning in our own effluent’ (‘i’) – our own effluent, or the excess strain put on our infrastructure by the sudden addition of millions of new arrivals’ effluent?
Remarkably this whiggish liberal old rocker with his amazing grey locks looks the very image of George Frederick Handel (You’ll have heard his hit track Zadok the Priest during the Coronation) or somesuch other grand bewigged eighteenth century bigwig of the type one used to see on the back of banknotes.

Giving votes to youngsters as young as 16 seems to be an accepted left wing tactic. The Scottish and Welsh Councils (Parliament’s) have done it for obvious reasons. Get them young, SNP, Labour and Plaid youth.
There’s no way sixteen year olds have maturity or any idea how the World works or understands finance or politics. It’s simply a ruse for Socialists to brainwash kids into voting for them. I actually think 18 is too young, 30 is more like it. By 30 people will have been employed and had some life experience.

“Consider this, I give this example. If immigration continues at the levels it has average over the last ten years. Britain will be adding 10 million people to it’s population in the next 20 years. That means building a new house roughly every seven minutes. Now, we currently have no leadership from the Liberal Democrats, Conservative or Labour Parties saying they are going to do anything to change that course. @5:56 … if any party wishing to get into power doesn’t address this they are committing political suicide….@10:30″ {youtube – Douglas Murray – oct2015}
… but wait, someone, who is now in power to act out their words, did mention this problem and almost suggests that ‘too high immigration’ should be reduced …
“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. It’s difficult for schools and hospitals and core infrastructure like housing and transport to cope. And we know that for people in low-paid jobs, wages are forced down even further while some people are forced out of work altogether. … So there is no case, in the national interest, for immigration of the scale we have experienced over the last decade.”

Hedge fund manager Sir Chris Hohn once made a point of telling a high court judge that he was an “unbelievable moneymaker”. This week Hohn proved his point – definitively – when it was revealed that he paid himself just shy of £1m-a-day last year.
Hohn collected $479m (£343m) in annual dividend payments from his The Children’s Investment (TCI) fund in the biggest ever personal payday in the UK after doubling profits at his Mayfair hedge fund, run from an office a couple of doors down from Louis Vuitton’s flagship store.

Jail toilets face away from Mecca
Facilities in a prison are being built so Muslim inmates do not have to face Mecca while sitting on the toilet.
The Home Office said two new toilet blocks are being installed as part of a refurbishment at Brixton jail in south London.
Faith leaders had told prison bosses it was unacceptable for Muslim inmates to face Mecca while using the toilet.
“The refurbishment has been carried out with due consideration for all faiths”, a Home Office spokeswoman said.
“Following consultation with faith leaders within the prison, various small adjustments were made to ensure the faith issues of all prisoners are taken into account.”
She added: “The money spent did not affect the overall cost of the refurbishment programme.”

I just noticed the diversity wool being pulled a little more over our eyes.
Over the years I am sure we have all been badgered on TV to send dosh to help rescue working donkeys being horribly abused by usually darker skinned foreigners and often covered in horrific wounds and scars etc.
This morning I just witnessed the “new” rewrite to push the new narrative. In the latest incarnation the donkeys injuries are mysterious and ignored and the people who own them just want some cash to help look after them. Lots of dusky children stroking and caring for the animals.
So the donkeys were never overworked and abused by their owners, now the injuries etc, just sort of magically happen somehow.
Stopping these people from doing this is therefore not required any longer whereas your cash donations still are.
Hah…probably a directive from OFCOM was issued….the joys of diversity and seekers of truth!

Migrant crisis: Turkey (Erdogan) threatens EU with new surge (EU Tax Payers are paying Erdogan £2.6 billion) {bbc.co.uk nov2016}
“Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has warned that he will let hundreds of thousands of migrants travel on to Europe if pushed by the EU.
…
‘Listen to me: these border gates will be opened if you go any further,’ he warned the EU on Friday.”
Sluff – why did they (NGOs?) burn the rubber boats (environmentally a bad idea) when they could just rip a hole in the middle to sink it?

What a pleasure it was to hear John Redwood on Toady this morning.
The presenter, Remainin I think, kept interrupting of course but Redwood kept to a simple line. If there are 700,000 nett immigrants every year, and an existing housing crisis, then where are they all going to live? Remainin sounded cross but also strangely flummoxed.
I have no answers but two comments. In Londonistan, a lot of houses are having their garages converted into rooms, in addition to large extensions and sometimes even garden bungalows.
And if Labour get in, presumably all over the age of about 10 will be given a vote.
Query of the day. Our ‘how to vote’ forms from the council come in about 10 languages, many of which do not use the normal European alphabet. So how do the recipients of these decide who to vote for if they cannot understand written and presumably also spoken English?

Perhaps they’ll offer a discount on council tax if you have any spare rooms. Or, more likely impose penalties on your council tax if you have unused bedrooms in your house. Or, to cut to the chase: if your house is not as diverse as current adverts suggest then you are racist and deserve to have it forced upon you.
Nothing would surprise me now.

Some of the participants at the rally, crippled or bereaved by the vaccines, will be familiar to you from their appearances on The Mark Steyn Show over the last year-and-a-half, but the new GB News, mired in Tories’n’trivia, now dismisses them as “crazy conspiracy theorists”.
That’s the Ofcom Effect, as enforced by Lord Grade, Dame Melanie Dawes and their shadowy commissars. I note, by the way, that, say what you will about Canada’s execrable “human rights” tribunals, but their censors were at least obliged to put their names to their rulings. At Ofcom, the all-powerful judges are anonymous: what a disgrace to English law.

OFCOM Rule: On ‘NO’ account should any journalist report on these documents. These Pfizer vaccine safety documents are supposed to be secret for the next 55 years. OFCOM condemns the Texan judge who ordered the premature release of these documents. The nice trusted people at Pfizer told OFCOM that their mRNA vaccines are ‘Safe & Effective’. So therefore OFCOM will punish anyone who disagrees with what Pfizer told OFCOM and the health authorities. Members of OFCOM have heart felt trust in Pfizer, and all have had lots of jabs from and kisses for the boss of Pfizer, Albert Bourla. So if an Israeli criminologist says Pfizer is a criminal organisation, then OFCOM will punish Andrew Bridgen MP.

The charity also received a complaint in 2018 about another member of staff who was alleged to have been ‘rude, unwelcoming, abrupt, argumentative and generally very unpleasant’ towards volunteers, leading Care4Calais to say it was ‘concerned and upset’ to hear the reports.”
