    Phew!
    Relief in the BBC news room.
    The ‘suspected’ murderer of people in Nottingham was of West African origin………but……..guess what……..had mental health issues. Another immigrant not to blame for anything at all.
    Trebles all round in Frankie Howard.

    While the BBC continues to prevaricate, GB News announces the Nottingham suspect is a West African migrant.
    Let’s see how the BBC spins this one.
    My bet is mental health. Plus our systemic racism, perhaps.

      So, a series of racially motivated murders by an African savage who should not have been allowed anywhere near a civilised country.

      No more excuses BBC, Gary Lineker and the rest of the weak liberal mob, the victim’s blood is on your hands.

      Vlad,
      There are only two possible categories for the perpetrators of such terror attacks in the UK.
      A. If white they have at least links to the far right if not fully blown Nazis white supremacists.
      B. If non white they have mental issues but were previously lovely people who wouldn’t harm a fly and helped old ladies across the road.

      These categories have been in existence for the past ten years and if they are violated then the authors of such violations are themselves far right racists.

    Don’t worry, Nottingham students have got the candles (out as one of their own was a victim this time).

    Blessed are the candle burners, to coin a phrase.

    NO holding power to account on this one though (or maybe just the mental health services.)

    Nottingham: Students among three killed in knife and van attacks
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-65893694

    Just checking to see what the BBC have reported for this.

    First I see the article is very short. Just basic facts only – as they always do for stories they don’t want to talk about.

    Then we get to the weasel wording:

    ‘Counter-terrorism police are involved in the investigation, but no link to extremism has been confirmed.’

    Deliberately worded to make us think he is not an extremist. But in fact it only means they haven’t found any direct links to ISIS.

    ‘Reporting from the scene, the BBC’s Daniel Sandford says he understands the suspect has a history of mental health issues.’

    Absolute classic BBC trick to present us something which is absolutely unaccountable to any facts. Did Daniel hear a policeman mention it ?. Or did he ask a passer by ?. Seems the BBC’s committment to verify what they report doesn’t apply in cases like this.

    ‘That is why at this stage, while counter-terrorism police are assisting the investigation, they are not running it, he adds.’

    Again, no reason to put this in the article except to make people think it has nothing to do with terrorism.

    Seems that this is just another black Muslim immigrant who decided to indiscriminantly murder completely innocent white people because that’s what the Koran tells him to do. But the BBC write it up like he is just someone with mental issues.

    Why do these murderers always get special treatment by the BBC ?. Just imagine how many articles and follow on articles we would be getting if he was a white male.

    Just for reference, I checked a similar story about the Jo Cox murder by the BBC (who really was murdered by someone with mental issues) and it was 1,189 words. This one is 310.

    https://www.readingchronicle.co.uk/news/23587183.costa-coffee-stabbing-man-denies-stabbing-reading/

    A man has told a jury how he was ‘stabbed and slashed’ with a knife outside Costa in central Reading.
    Ervis Kola, 34, of Brighton Road, is on trial at Reading Crown Court charged with wounding Jetmir Noka in Butter Market on December 19 last year.

    He has denied the offence, claiming he did not have a ‘weapon’ or anything similar in his hands at the time of incident.
    Mr Nova said the pair, both from Albanian, had first met a month before when Kola allegedly held a knife at him and his cousin for allegedly no apparent reason.
    Prior to the alleged stabbing, Mr Nova said he had approached Kola seeking an explanation.

    Opening the case, prosecuting barrister Neil King said: “Jetmir Noka and his friends were in Costa coffee and while they were there they saw the defendant who was there with his girlfriend.

    Covid inquiry: Failure to consider ‘potentially massive impact’ of lockdown pre-pandemic
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-65888152

    You know, after the BBC were one of the biggest supporters of lockdowns (and free money for the workers), it’s becoming clear that they are now going to switch 180 degrees and use this enquiry to attack the government for it as much as possible.

    Because getting a Leftist government so we can rejoin the EU (along with the funding and perks it brings without the taxpayer realising they are paying for it) justifies anything they do.

    Ideological activists always think ‘The ends justify the means’. Just like those other socialists throughout history did when they started murdering their opponents.

    Random events, caution and preventative measures and no self-reflection edition

    Our BBC pickers for their online line-up of press frontpages like the freebie Metro for their top spot this morning.

    Of all the many ways to describe events in Nottingham yesterday the Metro prefers to plump for the word random: Random rampage in uni city

    A second random appears in another left-leaning younger metropolitan audience-targeted title further down the BBC’s stack of papers: Students murdered at random in Nottingham attack (‘i’)

    And yet another random – from an older demographic aimed title is clear evidence (two’s a concidence three’s a trend) the term isn’t randomly plucked from the air but rather some officially approved phrasing – and this crops up in the screamer headline in the Express: Killed at random… just five minutes from home

    Not since overnight we were all taught to term those illegal Channel migrant dinghies by the cutsie name ‘small boats‘ has a word been matched so uniformly and so suddenly to an unpleasant novel phenomenon – the Times (shuffled well into the middle of the BBC pack of press titles) blows the gaff, so to speak: Migrant held over deaths of students and man in his fifties

    Coming so hot on the heels of: Annecy stabbing: British girl one of four children stabbed by Syrian asylum seeker (Evening Standard) – our media needed to put an appropriate name to such events tout suite

    It was Churchill who in 1941 announced: “We are in the presence of a crime without a name” – our wartime PM no doubt having been tipped the wink having read decrypts of German communications as reference in this ‘i’ newspaper feature: Codebreaking sisters kept war secrets for decades – even from each other

    A word was found – these things moved more slowly in those days: ...the United Nations adopted the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. (United States Holocaust Memorial Museum)

    We still mistakenly believe the insurance industry – through our force of habit – terms random events such as flooding, lightning strikes and the like an acts of god being defined as ‘any accident or event that is not influenced by man‘ – mind you, given the prevalence and big corporate preference for our new religion of man-made global warming acts of god are officially ditched for: …a simpler way to put it is ‘events that occur through natural causes and could not be avoided through the use of caution and preventative measures’ (Budget Insurance Services) – because of course mankind could have prevented that freak storm that blew down that tree on your new garden conservatory – if only we’d listened to Greta – how dare we – but we digress

    Now, happily, an immigrant goes murderously doolally tap and we have just the word for it… Random

    And the further away that word is from act of god the better.

    May your god go with you – as Irish comic Dave Allen was wont to say.

    In economic news Mr AsI is becoming somewhat irritated that the media persistantly purveys the impression that UK interest rate rises are an isolated (random?) UK national occurance: Mortgage stress to hit levels last seen in 1980s – as interest rate heads for 5.75% (‘i’)

    Let’s be clear about this our interest rates are US-led: Economists forecast at least two more US rate rises to quell inflation (Financial Times)

    Mr AsI understands that a third of all the money in circulation was printed since Lockdowns – the vast majority of it by the Fed – no wonder we have rampant (not random) global inflation

    And as we leave it there our BBC appears to wish away all the demoralising doom and gloom they enjoy giving us – perhaps not the latest Nottingham news – they’d prefer perhaps we turn off for that particular type of news: Sharp decline in appetite for news in recent years, Reuters Institute says

    And our BBC cuts n pastes and puts it out there without much thought and with absolutely no self-reflection.

    TOADY Watch #1 – it is a tough, chewy, world out there, apparently ….

    … for the Vegan Meat imitators. Sean Farrington in the pre-6.30 a.m. Business segment reports on how one has closed or filed for bankruptcy amid reports that other companies are in trouble. The vegan meat imitators have bitten off more than they can chew, ho ho, apparently, as their products are expensive (during ‘the-cost-of-living-crisis’ !!!!!) and do not taste as good as proper meat. In addition young people who are keen to save the planet are now, post-Pandemic, concerned about their health and do not want Ultra Processed Foods which of course vegan meat imitations are.

    If any young Vegans are reading this I hope you are buying and taking vitamins to replace what you would consume naturally when eating meat. (Note from an old meat eating consumer: I have found that organic vegetables are generally more expensive than their conventionally grown equivalents and when I have purchased them from the discount shelf at the supermarket have found them to lack flavour compared to non-organic equivalents. George Monbiot, well known-vegan, reckons he can make water flow uphill. It is impossible to make economic water flow uphill.)

      I think Lidl have overstepped the mark. Freezers loaded with, ‘veggie’ matter substitute for meat. Not selling not moving. I wonder why.

      The, “Meat imitators” as you describe have yet to be challenged on the essential vitamins meat and dairy products provide. Just look at the B vit range. Virtually all coming from………meat and dairy would you believe. Perhaps the “Meat imitators” should provide a bottle of B range vits with every ‘veggie’ item sold.

        G, have just been to Tesco. There are a lot of obese people shopping there who ought to be only eating vegetables. I did wander along one aisle that had shelves stacked with meat substitues but strangely only one obese person there. Tesco were obviously not shifting the meat substitutes and the Coronation hasn’t done much for sales of quiche as I expected.

        Think you have a good idea about the bottle of B complex free with every stash of veggie burgers or meat substitutes.

        On a Pandemic note I saw one thin masked man, not there to rob and who paid for his shopping. It could be he was ‘shielding someone with a condition’ or like another shop worker I know he maybe was about to go on the holiday of a lifetime and did not want to catch anything from his colleagues before sailing off on a cruise. Perhaps he had just not heard that WHO have declared the Pandemic ‘Over’.

        It’s strange that Moonbat Plastic Food Industries never seem to discuss this, so perhaps it’s one for Viognierify to look at very closely indeed…

        This lack of interest in processed vegan ‘food’ is tailing off pretty quickly as it’s over-priced, under-flavoured, extremely bad for the system as it omits the chemicals and vitamins required to sustain human life, and it looks like a bowl of cold sick however you prepare it!

        No wonder the supermarkets only chuck a few bits and pieces of nasty-looking brown-papered vegan ‘objects’ down the end near the bog rolls, where the two selling points are certainly inter-related!

      Inquiries are used to cover up the mistakes of the establishment , in this case the entire liberal left hyperglobalist political caste in the UK. This often requires that the innocent get the blame and the guilty get the praise. But in this particular case I think that we already know who the scapegoat will be , Mr Johnston, because the establishment want him dead and buried. Dissenters from the approved establishment line will also be punished, the spreading of truth is a particularly horrendous crime.
      It just goes to show how much the establishment hate Brexit . The only time that Boris has strayed from the woke establishment line was on Brexit . On everything else he dutifully toed the line, he increased immigration, he imposed ridiculous Net Zero on the country , he even cooperated on Covid . Only on Brexit did he stray from the fold and yet he must be,punished.

    A West African migrant slaughters 3 people in Nottingham for no reason but not to worry says the BBC he just had mental issues so nothing to see here let’s move on.

    That’s one in France and one in the UK in the last week, I expect this will become a new leisure activity for these welcome guests to our countries or maybe they view prison conditions as being better than Premier Inn’s?

    Meanwhile deafening silence from the usual migration luvvie suspects!

      @Digg silence ? Nope after a migrant killed 3 people they aye shouting that the BBC should not talk about illegal migrant entry.

      All stats that begin with “97%” are dodgy

      • StewGreen says:

        The 97% stat is from the BBC Simon Jones saying only 3% of launches are for migrant rescue
        “Figures released by the RNLI show it was called out 290 times last year to rescue migrants in the Channel.
        That represented 3% of the total number of lifeboat launches”

        so 300 launches = 3%
        so 10,000 = 100%
        but many of them will be testing and training exercises.

        I expect the RNLI transports/trafficks 6,000 migrants
        and 600 genuine rescue customers per year

        Even the Guardian says the split is 33% vs 66%
        “Almost a third of all people saved by lifeboat crews in the UK and Ireland last year were rescued from the Channel as they tried to cross in dinghies and other small vessels, the RNLI has revealed”
        They mean they saved 290 lives and 108 of those were migrants

          2014 : lifeboats in big tourist town towns would rescue 80 people per year
          Volunteers at Mumbles lifeboat station in Swansea rescued the most people, with 82 brought to safety, closely followed by Penarth, Vale of Glamorgan, with 81 people rescued.

          So if this years Channel migrant rescue is 6,000
          that is at least equivalent to the total from all tourist towns I guess.

    The BBC reassures us:

    This West African did not have a criminal record.

    He was not known to the security services.

    He has a history of mental health issues.

    So, does this analysis of the incident mean there is really nothing to worry about? No, it doesn’t.

    It means that our security services have no idea where the next attack may come from. It suggests that our mental health services are hopeless at identifying unbalanced patients who may be a danger to the public. The gruesomeness of the attack adds to the perception that blacks are a violent and dangerously disturbed race and so reduces the trust between communities in what is already a low trust society.

    If we want a safe and peaceful society, we must return to a homogeneous society. We must start talking about repatriation.

      It’s a well known fact that there is a higher incidence of psychosis and scitzophenia in black immigrants than in native whites. There are some identifiable reasons for this such as isolation, not feeling part of this society etc. It might also be genetic or it might be that there is a culture of casual violence in their native communities. Islam as practised by some groups does not appear to be a religion of peace. It’s worth remembering that Christianity was a brutal religion in many cultures and eras. Religious certainty can be a useful justification for barbaric conduct.

      In any case in recent decades our society matured into a caring and coherent society. Why ruin it with third world imports? Stop the boats

The tag of ‘mental health issues’ is just a diversion , an excuse because the BBC and the rest of the MSM and establishment don’t want us , the public, thinking that all this third world detritus that they keep stuffing into our country is anything other than wholesome and good for us. These migrants are a blessing , we should be grateful , we should be nice to them , they represent no danger to anyone and of course their culture is much superior to our own. After all they invented the mud hut and a hole in the ground to defecate in. What have we got to match that?

    Kariuki Kabuki – UK statement at the UN Security Council
    Profile picture for user purple hoaxP
    purple hoax
    14/06/2023 – 08:23
    Read the statement by prize lying moron Kariuki at the UN ‘Security’ Council meeting. The hypocrisy is overwhelming. The FCDO waffling on about the dangers of Climate Change whilst simultaneously salivating over war and supplying depleted uranium shells to Nazis is sickening. There is also tacit admission that the whole financial system is to be ‘reformed’. It’s sick theatre.

    Title:

    We must integrate climate reduction efforts into our early warning responses: UK statement at the Security Council

    Statement by Ambassador James Kariuki at the UN Security Council meeting on climate change.

    From:
    Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office and James Kariuki
    Published
    13 June 2023

    First, is the need to increase and improve access to finance for countries most affected by climate change, as highlighted so powerfully by Secretary Kerry just now. We are working to reform the international financial system and to scale up public and private finance for climate resilience and sustainable peace, including for countries on this Council’s agenda. Regional risk pools founded by the UK have transferred $1 billion of risk from Africa, with Somalia receiving a first payout from drought insurance this year. In July, we will convene events on climate finance in the UK and New York including for countries with humanitarian needs to contribute to this theme at COP28.

    Second, we need to ensure drivers of conflict are considered within climate interventions. Conflict-sensitive climate adaptation needs to be part of the solution for destabilised countries. And women, girls and local actors need to be meaningfully included in formal systems and negotiations.

    Finally, climate and conflict risk reduction and early responses should be integrated into humanitarian, peacebuilding and development programmes, in line with the Sendai Framework and the UN Secretary General’s Early Warning for All initiative. Reducing risk and impact of disasters is critical to ensuring continued progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals – especially SDG13 for climate and SDG16 for conflict.

    The UN system is well-positioned to coordinate climate, development, peacebuilding and security efforts, including through existing CPS Advisers in UN Missions. This Council should support this by helping to drive a more coherent and integrated response to stabilisation, peacebuilding and climate-resilient development across UN activities.

        State of the art, eh? That will be state of the art as it was nearly 40 years ago, given that the Typhoon is a 4th generation fighter designed in the 1980s. It’s quite a good plane but the current state of the art would be 5th generation fighters such as the Lockheed Martin F-22 (entered service in 2005), the Sukhoi Su-57 (entered service in 2020) and the Chengdu J-20 (entered service in 2017). Britain’s successor to the Typhoon – the 6th generation Tempest – is under development and scheduled to enter service in 2035. Assuming enough engineers can be persuaded to cross the Channel in small boats…

      Look everyone, when I used to go the London fairly often 20 to 30 years ago the Tate Modern was somewhere I went regularly . The Tate was and I’m sure remains a great cultural treasure, so good for your mental health. It was the best free laugh in the town. Some of the ‘art’ on display was side splittingly funny. Of course it wasn’t supposed to be funny but it was . I enjoyed guffawing at one of the installation when some arty farty type was close by and hear them sneering about philistinism or some such thing. They made the whole experience even more enjoyable.
      It’s probably even dafter now . I would enjoy winding up their vibe checkers and musing aloud about where they could put their rainbows.

      Dickie:

      Putin is full of shit, and DU shells are not radioactive, so that photo is a fake. DU cuts through armour like a hot knife through butter. If you are facing a Russian tank that is your immediate concern. A rather nasty death faces you in seconds unless you take it out.

        DEPLETED ie Uranium which has already lost a chunk of its radioactivity
        “It is only weakly radioactive because of the long radioactive half-life of millions of years ”

        Having a bit stuck in your body, is a bit different from eating radioactive banana (they all are)

          Did Iraq use depleted uranium?
          Depleted uranium – Wikipedia
          In a three-week period of conflict in Iraq during 2003, it was estimated that between 1,000 and 2,000 tonnes of depleted uranium munitions were used. More than 300,000 DU rounds were fired during the 2003 war, the vast majority by US troops.

    PMQs

    I find it sickening when they get up on their hind legs and start saying their usual “our thoughts and prayers etc” (Nottingham this time) and we then hear the murmurs of agreement from the rest of them.
    It is them who have caused this contamination of our population and they are the only ones who can stop it.

    The vast majority have told them they want this mass immigration stopped but they just sit twiddling their thumbs.
    They must think we are just worthless pieces of shit.

    They keep saying they will do something and they are ‘on it’ but nothing ever happens.

    I bet Farage could sort it out.

      On 15 October 2021, David Amess, a British Conservative Party politician and Member of Parliament for Southend West, died after being stabbed multiple times at a constituency surgery at Belfairs Methodist Church Hall in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex. Ali Harbi Ali, a 25-year-old British man and Islamic State sympathiser, was arrested at the scene. He was found guilty of murder and the preparation of terrorist acts in April 2022, and was sentenced to life imprisonment with a whole life order.

      2012 … “Two and a half years ago, the coalition government was formed, and we made a clear promise to the British public. After thirteen years of uncontrolled mass immigration, this government would reduce and control immigration.” – Theresa May 2012

      2015 … “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.” – Theresa May 2015

      2018 … “Over the years, overall, immigration has been good for the UK. It has brought people with different backgrounds, different outlooks here to the UK,” – Theresa May 2018

    If anybody from the health service deserves a pay rise it must be those who deal with people who have mental issues.
    It sounds like they will be lucky to get through their days work without being killed given the high number of killers we now have with ‘mental issues’

      It must be terrible to deal with the total nutters like Brexiteers and UKIP voters. For 3rd world scum murder is nothing to do with mental illness and more about being a simple means of expression of views. It’s a great strategy in an argument. Kill the opponent, argument won. Simples.
