      or stabbed to death 3 Gay men in Reading
      or the one that raped & cut to pieces Lorraine Cox

    Nothing at all to do with the BBC, except maybe it’s endless promotion of minorities/multiculturalism.
    Walking in town earlier I saw an e-scooter being ridden at it’s top speed, hugging the kerb on the wrong side of the road. It was of the type with a seat pillar and saddle, the rider a young Asian man crouching over the handlebars (I don’t think I’ve ever seen one of these devices ridden by anyone other than an Asian male 18-25 in my area). On one of the hottest days of the year, he was wearing a black diamond-stitched padded coat. A car coming the other way stopped in the road to avoid an incident.
    Inexplicable behaviour to say the least. Reminds me of all those American cop dramas where the villains have shotguns under their overcoats in the middle of June.
    Sorry, I’m not feeling the diversity.

        Rob – Campbell is a forceful reminder of the terrible effect mental illness has . Using him for public broadcasting seems strange to me because sooner or later he really will make a comment evennBBCOFCOM cannot ignore –

        The sooner the better in my view …. He really is vermin .

    St Paul’s Cathedral has upset the family of Sir Winston Churchill after they branded the wartime leader as an “unashamed imperialist” and “white supremacist.”

    The insulting description is understood to have remained on the cathedral’s website for more than a year, although Sir Winston’s state funeral was held there in 1965.

    In an article on the site about the state funeral, the website referred to his role in “fending off the threat of invasion and enabling a fightback against the Nazi occupation of Europe.”

    But the site added: “He is also a figure of controversy, as he was an unashamed imperialist and white supremacist.”

    Sir Winston’s grandson Nicholas Soames told the Mail on Sunday that his family felt that the remarks were “deeply offensive, thoughtless, stupid and ignorant.”

    The Conservative peer had “saved England” by leading the fight against Hitler and added: “Even for allowances of some of the sort of more extreme views in the Church of England, this is really going too far.

    “It was deeply offensive and caused great offence to a number of members of my family, and representations were made by a number of people.

    “I am glad to see that the cathedral’s canon chancellor has now written apologising and having the thing taken down. I don’t know how it got there.

    “It’s the sort of thing that is so thoughtless, stupid and ignorant and does the image of the Church so much harm. It’s such a terrible thing to say.”

        Godless C of E . Funny – I was talking to my very elderly neighbour a while ago . Unfortunately she is a socialist – so I have to hold my tongue a bit .

        Anyway – we were discussing Churchill in the context of nut nut – I mentioned how he lost the 1946? Election – and that he had been ‘booed ‘ at Walthamstow dog stadium .

        And she was there ! She recalled that the dissent was only half hearted and people knew all too well what he represented during the war

        Documentaries suggest that has the moment he suspected he might not win ….

        Just think – if he’d won – no bloody 1948 immigration act – and maybe a different better Blighty ….

        Nut nut thinks he is modelling himself of Churchill . So Wrong . At least Churchill did detail when he needed too whilst all nut nut thinks about is his nuts ….

        Churchill 1 nut nut 0…

        BTW – I did ask my neighbour who was a teenager at the time – whether she ‘booed ‘ Churchill – I got a very ‘bad ‘ look – it didn’t cross her mind to do such a thing – the crowd was there out of gratitude as much as anything else….

    BBC 1 just showed a trailer for Champion, their new drama series starting next Saturday at 9:15pm.

    “A love letter to Black British music set in south London, Champion is a celebration of a sound that has long been the beating heart of our culture.”

    The prime time slot on Saturday night, sounds right up our street for the 85% of us in the population.

    Zara Aleena: Murdered woman’s family call to end violence against women
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-66013770

    ‘Speaking at a vigil to honour Ms Aleena, Farah Naz said it was important to “not to shy away, not to look the other way, not to turn a blind eye, but to confront”.’

    Noble words indeed. Here’s who did it:
    _128007456_ef57c37c-f348-4b49-bd2b-971f19520265.jpg.webp

    Checking the ‘London Violence’ page I see other recent stories about women being murdered – but I don’t recall any vigils or even seeing the stories themselves on the front page.

    Heres one murderer:

    And has anybody noticed how the Middlesex hospital axe attack and the man who stabbed children in France stories have abruptley vanished ?.

    The BBC are racist. There is no doubt whatsoever. But they think it’s OK to be racist like this because ‘the ends justify the means’.

    Who do they think they are to decide things like that ?.

        I used to just check the BBC London Violence page to see what they were hiding – but a search once took me to ‘Evening Standard’ where I discovered the other stories the BBC didn’t even report.

        What REALLY bugs me about the BBC is how they profess to be the arbiters of everything which is right and decent – but scratch through that extremely thin veneer and you discover they are the dirtiest, most ethically-barren far-left activist scum around. Everything they do is designed to circumvent their charter to be impartial.

        But of course everyone here knows that already. Including the BBC lurkers and people like maxi.

    Yesterday at the Theatre Royal in Portsmouth I had the great pleasure of watching a show put on by local dance schools and what an experience! I’d gone to watch two great nieces (age 3 and 12) perform but the whole evening was spectacular with over 120 children from 3 to 17 singing and dancing their hearts out, possibly the most satisfying show, amateur or professional, I have ever been to. Only 5 boys, unsurprisingly, but their dedication typified by probably the most talented. He broke his arm on Friday yet the following day, with arm in plaster, he totally wowed us.

    And the most noticeable thing? The total lack of diversity! Not a single BAME, not one. No token coloureds, or headscarves, no rainbow flags, no virtue signalling. Just plain exuberant entertainment and kids enjoying themselves. You may have gathered that the BBC played no part in this production.

    England, my England – and proud of it.

      Perverts like that are usually white. Just as people who stab other people are black or Muslims way beyond their representation in society.

      But of course the ethnic background of the latter is hidden from us because it is ‘not helpful’ to the multicultural agenda.

    Forensic inquiries are taking place in the area. Police will undertake extra patrols to reassure the public.

    “Nine sex attacks took place in a city park in the space of just five hours, police say.

    The assaults happened in and around Singleton Park, Swansea between 08:00 GMT and 13:00 on Friday, South Wales Police said.

    A cyclist who was captured on CCTV has been urged by the force to come forward.

    “We appreciate these incidents are concerning to local residents who are regularly using the park during lockdown,” Det Insp Peter Collins said.

    “We are taking this very seriously and our investigation is ongoing. We also have extra patrols in and around the park.”

    He urged anyone with any information to contact the force. “

      So they label all those ideas “conspiracy theories” when they are in fact declared Government policies.

      I suppose surveillance state, net zero,15 minute cities, car usage charges are conspiracy theories. It’s all happening right now. Sunak has put forward a timetable for a digital currency. I accept the uses to which a digital currency might be made are conjecture but I think we all know where this is going
