Come to daddy.
Sorry, I lost myself for a moment.
Anyway, this is very interesting since I made a comment on the same thing the other day:
Donald Trump says he will ask the Judge to step aside
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-66422516
Considering the significance of this case and the accusations of political persecution, it seems to me that there is only one option here : she must be replaced with someone seen as impartial.
So what will they do ?. Bend over backwards to make sure the proceedings are unimpeachable or will they say ‘f*ck you’ and push ahead regardless in true Nazi style. Like they did with all claims about election fraud.
And will the BBC launch another ‘campaign against injustice’ if they do or will they just report it once then drop it altogether ?.
Answers on a postcard please.
I watch with interest.
… And in a world first: by replying to my own post I gain BOTH No.1 slot AND No.2 slot.
(unless someone else replying gets in above me of course. Not sure about that.).
Oops! Let down by a slow PC. Well that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it.
Thanks to Fed for respecting my bedtime. Sorry I couldn’t make better use of the early start to the week.
Anyone know what has happened to our ‘sister site’: Is the BBC Biased?
Maria Bartiromo, one of Fox News’ level-headed presenters, gets worked up!
I can’t say I blame her. If I were a Yank I’d be saying the same things.
I think Trump has an excellent defence against the latest indictment. However he will probably lose in Washington, just as he lost in New York. He will win on appeal, I am sure, but it will cost him time and money, and that is surely the point. It is election interference by corrupt use of the law. America is in deep trouble.
‘Bend over backwards to make sure the proceedings are unimpeachable ‘
I can’t imagine any scenario in which Trump or his supporters wouldn’t consider themselves the victims. Concerns about ‘perception’ dissolve into meaningless when dealing with a serial liar and fraudster.
“Serial liar and fraudster”? Nobody comes near to Joe Biden when deserving that label.
Kuchicoo, where do you get your information from? The BBC by any chance?
Read up on Hunter Biden Laptop once you’ve mastered Janet and John.
Ahh I see Kik. You think it’s fine to have a biased judge because Trump deserves it.
Did you even research this judge and what she has done ?. No chance at all he will get a fair trial.
Pointless, spiteful comments like your belong on a BBC HYS. If that’s the best you can do, I suggest you stick to those with the other children.
Considerationasvictimism?
Serial liars and fraudsters who suit, or do not.
“I can’t imagine”?
phew-ee … – you prefer to parrot other people’s imaginings then?
Try some unimaginable facts
All of the key points raised here are corroborated in a Spectator TV podcast with Michael Shellenberger from last month. The Title is ‘Exposing the Censorship of the Industrial Complex’
Kikuchiyo, a wild and eccentric samurai-poser
– that one?
She’s back, with a stat.
https://twitter.com/westcountrygent/status/1688285536681676800?s=61
If it is any consolation, I despise John Simpson more.
“The BBC’s first disinformation correspondent has said “it’s normal to hate me” as she revealed that *more than 80 per cent of abuse directed at the corporation’s journalists is targeted at her* ”
You what ! surely a made up number
The corporation has 20,000 employees
many active on Twitter
eg local radio hosts, big timers like Lineker and Packham
so replies to BBC accounts, some of which is genuinely abusive and some which libmob would falsely call abuse goes to a huge DIVERSE range if names
to suggest that 80% goes just to her is ridiculous.
It’ll be something like BBC 2000 staff get 100K tweets per day and Marian gets 500
ie 0.5% or 2% etc
and that a higher proportion of those to her are abusive
@mariannaspring tweets
The public have already paid her wages in the licence fee
why should they have to pay a second time to see her output ?
(Times articles are behind a paywall)
Someone tweeted screenshots of the entire article
.. https://twitter.com/TheiKevin/status/1688131669583077377
The software detects “negative sentiments” and they choose to class some if those as escalations
That doesn’t sound like robust stats
#2 Has she earned photo payments from the Times ? I guess yes
The stats claim
No doubt 90% were ‘negative sentiment’. It’s ridiculous to class that in the same heading of ‘abuse’ as ‘physical threats’.
Same as the labels ‘sexual abuse’ and ‘hate crime’: the Left lump the full range into one heading so they can use it for their agenda. The Guardian and The BBC in particular do it without conscience.
Dear Marianna Spring (BBC wages paid under threat of prosecution),
As I’ve had to look at your BBC news and use other sources to determine that your news is not news but selective editorial opinion I’d like to request that I have a refund for the last 4 years plus get the BBC free from now on.
Please let me know how I can go about this as I am willing to create a full list of articles that I’ve had to investigate plus time taken for me to check your fact checker whilst realising that the BBC intentionally removes news rather than incorrectly report on it, uses images to sway opinion or misleads with the main titles hoping no one reads the full article.
‘Omission is the greatest form of lie.’

One thing is true in the new world order. Abuse is anything that the little wimmin say it is.
Staying silent is abuse according to these mad-marxists.
There’s reality and there is the storyland they feed tourists.
Channel 4 Walking With Orangutans seems to giving us the tourist version.
“Oh here I am trekking 8 hours up the Danum Valley to see wild orangutans, look over there wild macaques, look, I’ve just been bitten by a leech”
Because I travel slow I see another side, like you meet local experts. I’ve been around around Borneo for about 2 years, including Sabah.
I’ve been on the road near Danum but not gone in, for one reason I’d already seen wild orangutans in a similar area in Banda Aceh.
In that place tourists were told to go on a 2 or 3 day trek to see the orangutans. instead I hung out with old timers. One told me the scam “You can see the O’s a few hundred metres from the road, but the trekkers pass close by and are brought around in a circle to a camp which they think is deep in the jungle, in fact it’s so close to the road some guides go home to sleep, same on the second day.. Then near the end of the trek the O’s are sighted and tourists are happy and have a big story.”
It was true I could walk up the road go 250m and find O’s
This is actual wild ones, not reserve ones or the semi wild ones near reserves.
Wild macaques are not really a sign of wildlife, you can find them quite close to urban areas all over
Likewise for leeches, they are a reality of the jungle
.. so two pairs of socks and long trousers etc .
Just put BBC NEWSDAY on, “live from our studio in Singapore”, WTF, why does the BBC broadcast from other countries, who pays for this?
Iirc the bbc hate Singapore, but base there to report the region.
A bit like Israel.
Keep, your enemies closer? Or simply nicer and safer?
I’ve been wondering why Londoners vote for Sadiq Khan. Why is he so popular? I just can’t see why, even before the ULEZ farrago. Other Metropolitan Mayors are Labour as well, (there might be an exception or two?) . Some of the red wall Labour Councils and Mayor’s are conspicuously corrupt.The Welsh Assembly is Labour as well, the Scottish Parliament has a Socialist SNP leader as an alternative Labour.
So why the Socialist dominance? The answer is money. All the Metropolitan areas, Scotland and Wales are kept afloat with Government cash, something that Labour and Socialists are well into. London in particular is hugely dependant on public sector jobs, subsidised public transport and all sorts of other services, the BBC alone has a huge presence in London. A massive proportion of licence fee goes directly into the London economy.
Is it any wonder that Londoners vote for Labour Kahn? Labour will keep the money flowing. The rest of us pay taxes to keep this nonsense going.
I always said that Bliar bought his votes with our money.
……..but in the case of London, don’t think policy think religion.
Another woke edition of Antiques Roadshow. Don’t generally watch it, but I had an attack of the eye rolling when we had a section on the Windrush arrivals working in a bike factory in Nottingham, and two of them were interviewed at their time there. Then there was the black lady who made it her passion to document how the arrivals were treated and their life since – for future generations to understand their heritage you know.
I’m fed up at being made to feel uncomfortable in my own country by culturally foreign peoples who are obsessed with wallowing in the misery of their ancestors. This will never end, because the invasive migrants who are pitching up now, will have their offspring telling exactly the same story in 50 years time. Many of us can whinge and whine about the working conditions of our ancestors at the turn of the 20th Century – kids up chimneys, mine owners treatment of their underground workers, large families sharing beds and tin baths, eating lard or sugar sandwiches, the list goes on, so we’re hardly different from the BAMES ! We just don’t get vocal about it. Our lives have changed and we’re better off for it. As are the BAMES, but they just want to fester on it.
They should get over themselves – their choice in coming here nobody else’s.
That episode was a repeat
I checked last time and found there were holes all over the activists narrative

But our Justin chats to the shadow false refugee minister . ( actually trade ) His briefing note was to be against ‘the barge ‘ . He – labour – favour premier inns – and smudged – as much as possible – the labour view on ‘the barge ‘….
But in 12 months red labour policy will get the backlog down – ( implied amnesty ) and carry on as the blue labour lot will do just the same as the current shambles – I though kinnock junior had responsibility for this subject but is ambition to be a failed PM – like daddy – precludes him from saying anything about it
Personally I favour sharks in the channel …. …

Dear Jeremy
> Should migrants be sent to a remote island?
Absolutely not – they should be made to stay in France.
There they can have all the things you dream about: car BBQs, ID cards, more mosques etc etc.

Should migrants be sent to a remote island?
Invade France – it is a failed state – everyone is escaping the dictator.
If this is a true story, I can only imagine the desperation of people like Vine spending the time to track down insignificant crap like this to build their virtue signalling credentials.
He is already planning his daughter’s wedding to Meghan Rapinoe’s Xe.
Basra is mostly shi’ite. What’s the betting that mosque is sunni? Do you think they would demolish one of their own mosques?
Vile really is an idiot.
As our typical British summer rolls on… not overly hot, quite showery and blowy I am getting a sense of desperation from the BBC weather (climate change) bods.
It appears to be raining on their doom message mantra and weather forecasts are now being peppered with hints that the next boiling could, might, possibly, chance, likely return anytime soon.
Also stories about other countries blazing and burning seems to have hit the buffers.
Roll on the snow and ice I say to put these activists back in their box and return to simply forecasting the weather which is pretty much the same as it has been throughout my quite long life.
Digg
Has the bbc started the doom and gloom about ruined crops leading to shortages and upward prices and higher inflation ? It’s traditional …..
Digg.
2 days ago here in Sunderland we had hailstones.
The South Korea Scout Jamboree is being finished early because of a heat wave and typhoon .the BBC isn’t saying whether those attending get their heat wave and typhoon badges ? I hated the scouts ..
Ah yes Fedup – I too loathed the scouts. I thought the purpose of these camps for these snowflakes was to make them develop an backbone but probably nowadays it is all woke virtue signalling for effing BLM and trans rights.

Welcome to the Monday edition in which we ask who’s calling the shots and exlpore Plan 9 and Disease X?
Plus our ruling regime’s Thought For The Day revealed: All this bad stuff you keep reading about… That is not necessarily bad news
Straight out of the gate Mr AsI needs to perform his little sub-editing job on the FT’s main headline: European companies’ Russian units suffer €100bn hit from Ukraine war… since Vladimir Putin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine – should read: since
Vladimir Putin’s full-scale invasion of Ukrainewestern economic sanctions were imposed on RussiaThe big corporate-orientated globalist paper, where the default attitude is that national borders ought to be torn down everywhere – except where they push Russia into a corner – can’t avoid this market observation: Defence companies’ shares have been bouyed by the conflict (FT)
The Ukrainian offensive may have achieved little except casualties: No fast results… yields only small gains (BBC); slow going (Guardian); war of attrition (The Economist); Has a Breakthrough Problem (Foreign Policy.com)
The globalist Economist has the more sanguine outlook – apparently confortable with the notion of spilling more blood and treasure: Why Ukraine may be choosing a war of attrition. Its counter-offensive has yet to produce dramatic gains. That is not necessarily bad news.
The Evening Standard digs deepest to find excuses for failure: Weed growth helping ‘Russia defend against Ukrainian offensive’
So much for: Wild thing! Inside the mission to rewild London. Beavers, voles and acres of new wild flower meadows — the capital’s rewilding revolution has truly begun. And about time, says Sophie Church (Evening Standard, August 2022)
But we digress… I think we must now accept the much vaunted and costly western-backed Ukrainian offensive has failed.
Meanwhile, closer to home, the Labour Party launches a concerted media manoeuvre attempting to outflank the Tories from the right: Labour: We’ll use migrant barges too… Shadow immigration minister Stephen Kinnock said old military bases housing thousands of migrants would also be used (giveaway Metro) – I think we can guess Labour policy will be to quietly give a de facto amnesty to the present 172,000 – or whatever the number is when they come to power – asylum seeker backlog – let them seep away into the black economy and our benfits system.
Just Stop Oil tactics are contemptible, says Starmer (the Labour-curious Times there moving on from their usual: Interview: He could be the next PM — but who is the real Keir Starmer? (November 2022); Interview: Starmer spoke up for the arts — others must do the same (July 2023); Interview: Keir Starmer: I will be ruthless in pursuit of power (Times, April 2023)
Now we have: Writing in the Times today, he confirms a Labour government would not revoke any existing licences… he will only block new oil and gas developments in the North Sea
Watch out for – coming soon – Sir Keir Starmer as guest editor of the Times?
And just for good measure also in today’s Times there’s a bit of a diss for the Tories on immigration in the formerly patriotic Thunderer’s main headline story: Tories seek ‘plan B’ for Rwanda if policy fails… Migrants could be sent to vulcanic island
Hawaii is a vulcanic island chain – but except when they erupt that particular aspect of their geography doesn’t seem to put people off going there.
I don’t know about Plan B, but I do recall Plan 9 from Outer Space was a schlocky sci-fi flick directed by cult trash auteur and transvestite Ed Wood in 1959
Maybe Plan B involving: Remote island plan for Channel migrants… may be flown 4,000 miles to Ascension Island (Daily Mail) – proves to be not remote and therefor disincentive enough… or more likely if this new pie-in-the-sky Tory plan goes off at half-cock like the Rwanda Plan A, because of the civil service and anti-conservative NGO-lawyer blob, then the Tories might eventually settle on some version of Plan 9…
Mother and daughter first to go to space together… Anastatia Mayers and her mum Keisha Schahaff will be the first mother and daughter to go to space. They will also be the first people from the Caribbean to make the journey. (BBC)
And that ought to have been our ‘and finally’ were it not for: Secret lab’s vaccines at an adavced stage… plan to prevent bird flu pandemic… UK scientists are preparing for a potential bird flu pandemic in humans… top virologists… preparing for the emergence of a new virus, referred to as Disease X (‘i’)
Will they never learn?
It’s going to be a hard choice, or is it? For the
BRITISH broadcasting corporation to support either
England or Nigeria in the ladies World Cup
match just about to kick off.

Today meeesh giving a proper kicking to some hapless blue Labour girl from the home office . The difference in the treatment she got versus their mate from the red Labour side was stark .
Meesh was in full dominatrix mode – not that I know what a dominatrix is – although I think one of my maths teachers ‘ was one …
That smarmy piece of s***, Mischal used one of her favourite playbook tactics today..
She was nominally interviewing Dr /Professor/ Dame/ Lady Jenny Harries, about a piece of pandemic-preparedness work coming out of Porton Down.
But she manoeuvred the interview into asking about the Health and Safety of the would-be residents on the boat in Portland that may or may not hold a bunch of illegal asylum seekers/economic chancers!!! FFS.
How totally cynical of the BBC to interview in this ambush way, and how typical of the BBC to prioritise the interests of these people over the rest of us. Unbiased ? Impartial? Errrr, not a chance.
8am Radio Humberside news
– “Barge news .. here’s a clip of David Lindon MP saying asylum seekers need safe and legal routes”
(Why are we getting a clip of an SNP Scottish MP)
– fines to triple on employeeing illegal workers ?
– “The East Midlands Ambulance Service says it has an immense task ahead of it to reduce its Carbon footprint.. and will begin trialing electric ambulances next year

FFS its job is to get ambulances to people,
not chip away at UK CO2 whilst China vastly increases theirs

2018 … “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.

I don’t see any press release from East Midlands Ambulance service
but I do see a new one from a similar name the East of England Ambulance Service
which doesn’t serve our area. So I guess the BBC made a mistake.
https://www.eastamb.nhs.uk/news/ambulance-service-to-extend-trialling-of-electric-vehicles/4021
“The NHS is committed to reducing the emissions that contribute to climate change, reducing air pollution, which has a detrimental effect on the health and wellbeing of the communities we serve, and achieving net zero emissions by 2040” he said.
“We recognise it will require changes to patterns of driving and refuelling and will be providing staff with all necessary familiarisation and training.”
Additionally in 2024, the Trust will take delivery of three electric Ford double-staffed ambulances for extensive trialling.
During the trials, three non patient-carrying electric ambulances will shadow diesel ones so the effect of driving patterns experienced during normal shifts can be observed and measured on the new vehicles. When these trials are completed and it is considered safe to do so, electric ambulances will then be trialled carrying patients – but shadowed by a diesel vehicle.
oh the immense task line is lifted from a very short newspaper article about East Midlands Ambulance Service
but it doesn’t mention new electric ambulances.
The ambulance service has an ‘immense task’ to reduce its carbon footprint, the organisation’s director of finance said. East Midlands Ambulance Service (EMAS) covers Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Rutland, Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire.
Around 35 per cent of the trust’s emissions are from vehicles.
(non urgent transport)
East Midlands Ambulance Service director od finance talks about net zero carbon emissions plans
https://www.newarkadvertiser.co.uk/news/immense-task-for-ambulance-service-to-reduce-carbon-footpr-9324422
Net Zero Carbon – patients are the carbon.
So patients will be cremated before they are treated. A little like putting the cart before the horse.
Now on Radio Humberside show the Pakistani reporter is interviewing the Scunthorpe ethnic Bangladeshi about her heritage
“we spoke Bangla at home cis my mother didn’t speak much English”
The woman has been a barrister for 20 years
“There were only limited jobs my parents would allow like doctor, lawyer
.. I felt I had to work harder (than a white person)”
The breakfast show still carries the name of the black presenter Kofi, although the manager has tweeted that Kofi is on holiday for 3 weeks
1985 … the past is the future …
Ahmadis suffer vicious persecution around the world. The main source of fuel for that persecution is in Pakistan, but what happens in Pakistan does not stay in Pakistan.
I know that from my experience in the Yorkshire market town of Batley. In August 1985, when I was 11 years old, my parents organised an inter-faith meeting in the town hall. It was interrupted and disturbed when, according to West Yorkshire police,
more than 1,000 extremists, led by Pakistani hate preachers funded by the Pakistani state, were bused in from around the country.
The mob brutally attacked my English mother and my father, a dermatologist; my eldest brother and I; and a Welsh Ahmadi schoolteacher who was with us. My first cousin, a GP, was by chance driving through the market town that day. He saw the mob and saw his family and friends being attacked, so he stopped. He was recognised, pulled from his vehicle and savagely beaten up.

Our local BBC radio, very early Sunday morning there was an item regarding the idea of reducing the voting age to 16. Although a local station I think it was a national BBC production probably broadcast on all local stations.
Two advocates for reducing the voting age to 16, “because it’s fair” “because it’s consistent with what happens in Wales and Scotland”, “because it’s progressive” etc etc.
No voice for an opposite view, the BBC are being unaligned, unbiased.
The reason Labour/Nationalist/Socialist believe in a lower voting ages is that they believe they can shape the minds of naive and impressionable youngsters with zero real experience of the real World into becoming their electorate
https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/battered-demoralised-defeated-the-truth-about-ukraine/
China hawk Iain Duncan Smith has warned that the Communist Party used hidden tracking devices in government cars to follow the Prime Minister’s movements, before the cars were stripped and the devices were quietly removed. Speaking to Nick Ferrari on LBC, IDS revealed:
“It was never absolutely confirmed, of course they wouldn’t do for security reasons, but I’m pretty reliably told that they had to strip out the cars to find the devices based in the little SIMs, and they were capable and were tracking the cars and the car journeys. They have capability to be able to throw the switch, as it were, on batteries et cetera, as and when they wish.”
Last month the Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC) of MPs published a report claiming China has “successfully penetrated every sector of the UK’s economy“, and the government has “no strategy” to stop it. Even if the government makes a U-turn on this soon, it looks like China will know about it before anyone else…

Surely best to track the individual for the cars ? There must be a whole fleet of them so how do they know who is where ? And as I’ve said – why would anyone bother spying when they can get their people into sensitive jobs easily or buy the information from some politician or civil servant or spad …. Enemies must just laugh …
( care to comment state monitors ?)
SO it can look like the MPs are doing something … that is all .. doing something but nothing.
What benefit would the Chinese derive from tracking Sunak. I assumed that at least the media know where he is at any given time e.g. last week in the US.
Probably works for the Chinese, like Biden.
Re: the new vaccine lab being set up to tackle ‘Disease X’ and future pandemics at Porton Down. Robert Kadlec, who was the US Department of Health secretary responsible for Operation Warp Speed has recently admitted “we think vaccine research resulted in the pandemic – that vaccine research was the proximate cause.”
It’s worth watching some of the Australian Senate Committee hearings currently taking place, with Pfizer execs doing their best (and failing miserably) to evade questions about the obvious scientific fraud that’s been taking place. If only the UK Covid Inquiry had the balls to go there.
All big news… except search for any of this and you will find nothing being reported in the MSM. The Porton Down lab will be run by UKHSA, who brought PHE and the Joint Centre for Biosecurity under their governance during C19. The move from clinical healthcare to a new era of experimental, unsafe gene editing tech — which many could see taking shape — was of course dismissed as conspiracy theory.
Marianna Spring flouts around taking selfies and complaining of the abuse she gets, but never do you see Verify or the BBC approach these issues. They are fully deserving of intense criticism; the MSM are simply not up to the task and hopefully more people can see this.

I took the vaccine in good faith and I feel like a mug. I won’t get fooled again.
Rob. You were not necessarily wrong.
I know I’m in a minority on this esteemed site.
If anyone chooses to look at covid death rates as the vaccine was first rolled out, the ratio of deaths among the first-vaccinated population compared with total deaths decreased as the roll out progressed. This to me is definitive proof that the vaccine inherently worked at the population level. Of course at the individual level experience will vary.
Now of course as the danger of covid diminishes, both in terms of age group and in terms of the prevailing covid strain, so the benefit of vaccination diminishes, to a point where, at low covid mortality rates, the dangers of the vaccine begin to outweigh their benefits. In my opinion there is no requirement at all to vaccinate otherwise healthy children and young adults, in fact probably up to age 65+ on current covid mortality levels.
The inherent self interest of the drug companies is another factor. It doesn’t make vaccination wrong, it does mean we should be objectively critical about their advice. The mass vaccination of young children in the USA is I fear more a factor of drug company influence in Washington than an objective risk/ benefit decision.
Then we have the myocarditis factor. Oh that the authorities here were as inquisitive as our friends over in Oz. But as reported previously the conspiracy of silence over the national level excess deaths in the UK, and indeed elsewhere, for the last 18 months or so is absolutely deafening.
The landscape is multifaceted and not constant.

the stats were extremely (insanely) wonky from the get-go – so much so that any sensible reconciliation of claims was so politically loaded and agents of influence from pharma and the squabbling + mendacious state bodies so prevalent that I personally have net zero trust in claims from any side…
The manipulation of the reporting and the withdrawn / retracted and flat-out made up statistics are still out there in too many cases without challenge.
Trust in the medical and public ‘elf establishment wrt vaccine efficacy in the matter of coronavirus has been not just dented – it’s dropped to homeopathic levels – and they’ve done it to themselves by exaggerating, lying and covering up on an epic scale – all too often with a large slab of self interest and corruption.
Not BBC but WaPo using a familiar technique of false equivalence… good to see they’re getting a kicking in the comments.
What rights? FREE trans surgery?
I’m still musing about the Today interview between meesh and the blue labour home office girl . Meesh was obsessed with ‘ascension island ‘ – but didn’t quite hear that the minister was looking for ‘global solutions ‘,
Surely this is good news ? Surely if plan A – Rwanda goes then there must be plans B C D E F …. – but the lethargy and lack of energy in the government / Civil Service / FCo suggests they are just treading time until they hand over to Red labour and take their ministerial / MP pensions and bungs –
Talking of bungs – it seem the honours list for Mary Truss is getting close to being finalised – apparently there is a gong for every 4 days of her idiot term – will it be Lord Kwazi of Coutts ?
I predict when the illegals are put into the barge, they will kick off and burn the thing. They can then go back to their 4 star hotels.
I think that is inevitable – and they’ll make a good job of it . The response of the general British population in the event of deaths is like it to be silence – whilst red labour will go full Grenfell …. And lawyers having a field day ….
Although it would be very expensive – perhaps more of the hulks can be built and sent to other bits of British territory …
Musing 2 – it seems the home office minister who went on Today was either – incompetent – badly briefed – fitted up by her civil servants – or just dumb. She mentioned she is/ was a barrister . I know that a good barrister has a handle on their brief – so maybe she’s just a bad tick box one with connections …
Wouldn’t it be lovely if somebody with balls waited until they set fire to the barge and simply towed it out to sea into international waters.
…. too much to hope there’ll be sharks around.

Watched some this but I have trouble understanding what these peoples’ interpretation of ‘neo nazi ‘ is ? They also seem to think putting violent footy hooligans into the military is a bad thing .
I get the feeling their definition of a neo nazi is anyone who doesn’t accept approved liberal religion …
I think the definition or the term neo nazi is often muddied, hence the term far right is often associated with the term neo nazi. I think with regard to Ukraine there are nationalists who in any other country would be referred to as patriots eg the SNP and there are those nationalists which I would refer to as pure Nazis who have historically supported the German Nazi’s during WW2
https://www.thepostil.com/the-nazis-of-ukraine/
And ‘far right ‘ is not defined . Far left is easier because it’s about total state control -no countries – no families – no private rights or property – all for the mighty ‘community ‘ but as the argument goes – go far enough left and you meet ‘far right ‘
Hence I’d describe the Uk as heading far left , . Disguised with a blue false flag …
The SNP are anything but patriots……absolute globalist scum.
Ok, I stand corrected re the SNP😉

As the fleet crosses the Indian Ocean, the political situation in France becomes more charged. At a press conference about the crisis, a French official who offers a speech in praise of the migrants is confronted by a journalist who claims he is merely trying to “feed the invaders” and demands to know if France will “have the courage to stand up to” the migrants when they reach France. The official decries this question as morally offensive and threatens to throw the journalist out when he continues to yell. Other journalists seek to inflame tensions between the French and Africans and Arabs already living in the country. Over time, these journalists begin to write that the migrant fleet is on a mission to “enrich, cleanse and redeem the Capitalist West”. At the same time as the fleet is praised by those in Paris, the people of Southern France, terrified of the migrants’ arrival, flee to the north.
As the fleet approaches the Suez Canal, Egyptian military forces fire a warning shot, causing the fleet to steer south, around the Cape of Good Hope. To the surprise of observers, the apartheid regime of South Africa floats out barges of food and supplies, which the migrants throw overboard. The international press is thrilled, believing the rejection of these supplies to be a political statement against the apartheid South African regime. Western leaders, confident the migrants will accept supplies from their “more virtuous” nations, organize a supply mission, funded by governments, charities, rock stars and major churches, to meet the migrants off São Tomé. However, the fleet does not stop for these barges either, and when a worker from the Pope’s barge attempts to board one of the ships, he is strangled and thrown overboard. The press attempts to contain coverage of the murder.
When the migrants pass through the Strait of Gibraltar, the French president orders troops to the south and addresses the nation with his plan to repel them. However, in the middle of the address, he breaks down, demanding the troops simply follow their consciences instead. Most of the troops immediately desert their posts and join the civilians as they flee north, and the south is quickly overrun by the migrants.

Matty Healy: The 1975 threatened with legal action after Malaysia festival cancellation

The organisers of a festival in Malaysia cancelled last month after a controversial performance by the British band The 1975 have threatened the group with legal action.
The company behind Good Vibes Festival has sent the band a warning letter demanding compensation.
The event was cancelled after the band’s singer Matt Healy attacked the country’s anti-LGBT laws.
Representatives for the band refused to comment when contacted by the BBC.

Remember the late Tony Benn’s five questions to ask yourself about those with power, such as the WEF and Schwab:
(1) What powers have they got?
(2) Where did they get them from?
(3) In whose interests do they exercise them?
(4) To whom are they accountable?
(5) How can we get rid of them?
This is a useful mental toolkit to carry around.

A wonderful piece of journalism in the mail about a ULEZ camera posted on the border between londonistan and free Essex . There is a crematorium just inside the londonistan border – so Essex cars – get done – particularly if not registered for auto payment of their £12.50 …
I don’t live anywhere near a ULEZ but could someone explain why people don’t just spray the camera lens with paint? Protesting gets us nowhere in our post democracy so we must resort to direct action . This action hurts no one unlike say some of the JSO slow walks holding up ambulances. If the Brits are unable to rouse themselves to protest about things which are wrecking their lives right now , there is no chance that they will against threats which will impact them in five, ten or twenty years.

TWatO Watch #1 – the Montacutie is having an extra week’s holiday
Phew, it is a great life as a BBC presenter! Vast salary, endless holidays, other benefits (private health scheme?) including having maybe 90% of your colleagues sharing your political and world view. Nick Eardley, Political Correspondent, was presenting TWatO today, we were therefore spared Royal Editor, Jonny Dymond hesitating over his words.
Nick ventured into the extreme Amazon rainforest, no doubt as part of the BBC’s run up to COP 28 in Dubai. The Brazilian contributors had a chance to speak favourably of Leftist (Hard Leftist?) President Lula da Silva and rubbish former President Jair Bolsanaro. Box ticked. Nick had the necessary requirement as presenter to ask his contributors on this item some penetrating questions as to why they made some fanciful statements about the Amazon. Needless to say, they both name-checked Climate Change a lot. Another box ticked.
The male contributor suggested the importance of trees to the Amazon. Yet another box ticked. He said it was important stopping wildfires in the Amazon. In a vast area, such as the Amazon, this man obviously knew nothing about lightning strikes upon the Earth; something like 39-45 times a second, and totalling 1.4 billion per year. Many of those will be flashes in the sky ie. cloud to cloud, but if they are cloud to ground, unless that male contributor doesn’t get a team together to clear fallen, dry timber from the Amazon then he is likely – almost certain – to get wildfires in Amazonas. No question or correction from Nick Eardley, BIG BLACK MARK, but then Nick can hide behind the fact that he is a political correspondent working outside his area of expertise in presenting TWatO.
If trees are so important to Climate Change and the Amazon, what about capybaras? They are a Southern Hemisphere animal like the Northern Hemisphere beaver and with teeth to match. Although capybaras mostly eat grass (and belch methane and CO2 just like a cow – Climate Cultists please note) they no doubt take a fancy to young saplings and maybe wear their teeth down a bit on some stouter trees as well. No questions from Nick Eardley again. ANOTHER BIG BLACK MARK.
A distinct lack of intelligent presenting, but what do you expect from the BBC, apart from box ticking?

He is about the only one liking the ongoing descent into madness by ReichsPomposo Simpo, who has utterly failed to grasp the golden rule of BBC social media engagement: loose lips sinks shizzles.
He is continually referring to ‘abuse’ where there is none. This is a tried and detested BBC technique.
Long may the senile old fool dig that hole.
A misguided relative once bought me Simpson’s auto biography for Christmas . I read quite a lot of it and I found him to be even more sanctimonious and , as you say pompous , than I could possibly have imagined. From that time on he was given the sobriquet, Sanctimonious Pratt of the BBC, in our house.
It’s people like Simpson and his stable mate Martin Bell, who make you loath the BBC and it’s supercilious attitude to those who still pay for it but hold different opinions from them.
“”I can’t tell you exactly how many, I’m afraid. Probably understandably, the Home Office is being a bit cagey about numbers – they don’t want to be seen to be putting numbers on it, because I think that would imply whether there’s been a success or not.””
Says the little Bimboid ‘Ellie Price’, gleefully dribbling her fantasies as it’s a ‘heads you lose, tails I win’ scenario. Perhaps she should go after the Home Office a bit more than her mates, and ask them about a few home truths? But that would mean doing some actual work and disagreeing with her Leftie Agenderoids, so a big no-no…
But this is the awful bbc – the worst broadcster in the world, closely followed by Radio Nigeria etc…

Indeed but they have been launched from British soil. They are laughing at us. They love their little jokes at our expense. Mossad was founded by the SIS (MI6). So what do you think they call themselves when they ring up their pals in American or British Intelligence? Israeli Secret Intelligence Service (ISIS). Have you noticed all of the ISIS terrorists appear to have disappeared over the last few years? How very strange.
No to do with the BBC but this advert gave me a smile, the seller obviously not in marketing or the Fire Brigade…

The BBC football commentator said ” It may be

However I watched the match and although overall
Nigeria were the better side , and were a little unlucky.
It was for certain , “no daylight robbery”
And as I do not work for the BRITISH broadcasting corporation.
I can say, I AM PLEASED ENGLAND WON !!
I don’t consider football worthy of attention especially at the national level, until there is some form of apology or public repentance for their display of support for BLM.
They simply don’t deserve any support.
I don’t care if they lose.

There was poetic karma when Megan Rapinoe missed her penalty in the shoot-out loss v Sweden. But the way she smiled afterwards had me wondering for a moment whether she did it deliberately. Her penalty kick was a very poor one.
The BBC’s sports website quoted US reaction to her:
“She’s actually kind of an awful person,” wrote journalist Brad Polumbo in the Washington Examiner. “Rapinoe has soccer skills for sure, but her entitled, flippant, and unpatriotic attitude is the epitome of first-world privilege.”
Even at this World Cup, where she spent more time on the substitutes’ bench than the pitch, Rapinoe has come under fire.
The team in Australia and New Zealand stayed largely silent during the national anthem, prompting US media personality Megyn Kelly to say: “She’s [Rapinoe] poisoned the entire team against the country for which they play.”

Now ‘vaps’ will be a whole new compensation payout – and since the vaps are made by dodgy manufacturers the cost will fall on the taxpayers . Breathe in …… cough …
