      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.

      This is what the BBC call getting into the Eurovision spirit.

      Which is dressing up like a woman and touting a gay rainbow moustache.

    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. 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.

    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-65594540

    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.

    Britons will forget how to work, says Braverman (Times) – so who’s fault is that then?

    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.”

          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!

      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.

      ‘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?

      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.
