    ‘I went to Chinese Super League match during money rush – Saudi riches won’t take over’
    Saudi Arabia aren’t the first to financially strong arm their way into football relevancy and just like China’s attempt, it won’t make the waves fans fear

    Sadiq Khan to implement ULEZ in Iran to save lives?

    ..

    As the lights dimmed at a cultural festival in the Iranian capital, Tehran, earlier this month, women in the audience were defiantly dancing, singing and clapping along to the music at the landmark Milad Tower.

    They were also waving their hijabs (headscarves) in the air and that, according to Iran’s interpretation of Islamic law, is crossing a major line.

      The Cheerleader Who Demanded Lifelong Quarantine for the Unvaccinated Now Admits Nobody Under 50 Should Have Been Vaccinated
      What is it that prompts Dr. Stefánsson to come forward now, years after it became abundantly clear how useless the vaccines were and how dangerous to the young and healthy?

    Comedian Eddie Izzard has said she will stand for one of Brighton’s parliamentary seats.

    In 2022 she tried unsuccessfully to secure the Labour candidacy in Sheffield Central.

        I saw a video a couple of days ago where the mayor of Chicago made very light indeed of several hundred teenagers ransacking a large shop and making off with loads of loot.

    The only programme I occasionally listen to Radio 4 these days is, Gardeners’ Question Time. I tuned in just after three this afternoon and lasted about 30 seconds…

    A member of the audience had concerns about her south facing garden. “With climate change and the extreme temperatures we’re all suffering…” I didn’t listen any further…off switch.

    I mean, FFS, where is she living? Saudi Arabia…Istanbul… Death Valley? No, she’s in bleedin’ Salford. Christ, if they get a glimpse of the sun in Manchester they declare it a public holiday.

    Other than a brief hot spell in late May / early June we must have endured one of the coolest and wettest summers I ever remember.

    These people swallow all this “climate catastrophe” guff about “the planet is boiling”.

    When all they’ve got to do is look out the bloody window…

    Why haven’t they been deported ? Has Great Britain deported anyone since the invasion?

      In this Chapter I draw attention to the importance to terrorist risk of structured or
      loose groups of prisoners who have adopted Islamist language, mannerisms and
      ideology. Chapter 3 contains a more detailed analysis of the types of behaviour that
      prisoners in these groups typically exhibit, including the means by which these
      groups attempt to dominate other prisoners and staff.

      I refer all to my earlier post about the utterly useless incompetent but pro-mass immigration Home Office.

      Once this essential truth is accepted almost all observable situations to do with immigration fall seamlessly into place.

        I think a number of Home Secretarys of various types have described the Home Office as something like a landline where -through no direct fault of the politician – it just explodes and destroys a career ‘ government .

        Even when they split bits off it still offends – surely the Permanent Secretary must be so pro Europe and importing the third world into the UK ( England ) that it rolls down the hierarchy – ensuring insufficiently trained , motivated , effective staff are in place .
        The level of corruption – with gangs getting their people to be immigration staff must be immense .

        It’s one of the many reasons I’d describe the UK as a failing state … and it’s all covered up…

        Michael Howard – John Reid – Alan Milburn – Priti Patel – that blind communist one who is now a peer – Ken Clarke ? – just from memory …

          We don’t have a government for the people but a government run by globalists and the WEF to enslave the people. Society has to be destroyed from within in order to “build back better”. But hey, no doubt according to Marijuana Spring, I’m just an old conspiracy theorist.

    During the three-month retrial at Leicester Crown Court, the jury heard how Mahek Bukhari “set a trap” that led to Mr Hussain who was blackmailing her mother over explicit videos from their relationship, being chased and rammed off the road.

    Mr Hussain had been unhappy about Mrs Bukhari ending their three-year affair.

    It seems a bbc presenter called Jeremy vine , 58 , is cool with the bbc throwing out dead wood presenters with 2 000 000 regular listeners because they are ‘old ‘. Funny I thought – recently – how does vine keep his job . But then I realise it’s because he sings the approved tune ….

    …. I’ve never listened to mr vine …. And I think I despise his existence …

    So where does he think the organic chemicals in his hair gel come from?
    And what about his T shirt. Is it pure cotton? Where did the blue dye come from?
    And as for the poster, red ink? Binders in the paper?
    Total hypocrite, get back to the mud hut, Chris.

    Well it’s been another bad week for the BBC and the woke . Previous weeks have also been less than happy – whether it be the questionable conduct of staff – Huw Edwards Sally infamous Nugent – Simon Banker Jack an emotional radio presenter ( deleted ) just to name a few ….

    .. and then of course there’s the declining viewing and listening figures ….. go woke – go increase the licence tax …

    Time for the new thread …
