We enter the doldrums of the year . The sons and daughters of BBC executives are doing their job experience as interns before continuing the dynasty on the taxpayers ‘ cash .Viewing and listening figures continue to plunge as the BBC happily destroys itself .

Lesson 1 for the BBC if you want to survive, don’t frig about with stuff your viewer and listeners like instead of trying to impose what you want them to see and hear.

Much more of this please!
Radio 4 “Archers” update:
If a bit of “girl-on-girl action” is your thing, then you were in for a treat in tonight’s episode of the BBC soap.
Stella Pryor, a farm manager who works for the Aldridges, has recently lost her dog Weaver (clue in the name there? Think Sigourney, the actress …) in an agricultural accident and is upset.
She agreed to spend a night in a tent with Pip, eldest daughter of David Archer and wife Ruth. Pip was thinking about going camping with her young daughter Rosie and so wanted to try out a tent on the farm land where she lives. Little Rosie cried off but Pip stuck with it and Stella came along. They both drank quite a lot of wine …
Pip asked Stella if she had had any further contact/dates with a woman she met at her sister’s wedding. No, came the answer. Pip didn’t realise that Stella was grieving for the dead dog, which she had buried only earlier that day. Stella started crying.
Pip consoled her and suddenly there was a kiss … in vino veritas. Pip quickly apologized, though Stella wasn’t offended, and then made her excuses about needing to get back to Rosie; so it all ended rather abruptly but they will have to deal with the aftermath of this.
The BBC now clearly sides with Khant’s and TfL specious claims about ULEZ
There was a time not so long ago when other peeps got a word in
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-65057890
Khan wants throwing into the Thames…. I really hope this all goes tits up and Londoners throw this twat into the Thames!
I cannot believe that the “plucky” Londoners are just sucking this globalist shite up.
“The data does not include vehicles which enter London from neighbouring counties such as Essex, Hertfordshire, Surrey and Kent”.
I guess that the stupid Khaan and his minders have never driven in on the A2, or the M4 or the A1, or the A12 every morning, with thousands of people entering london to do a day’s work in building, cleaning, teaching, shopping, hospitals, councils, The City, and thousands of other jobs!
That’s where all the money is going to come from, until he realises that the only plumber he can get hold of will charge him, (or the GLC poll taxpayers whatever they’re called) a couple of grand to fix a dripping tap, and he’ll have to wait a month or three!
Tha man’s an absolute maniac and should be forced out of ‘office’ pretty damn soon.
Digg
Quite a number of ‘plucky Londoners’ don’t speak English too well, and vote for the Mayoral candidate that they feel has the closest cultural and religious alignment. To such folk, ULEZ doesn’t even register.
PS public transport in London is totally ‘free’ to those 60 years old and over. Free in this case of course means paid for by other taxpayers, which given TFL’s debts and losses means millions of good folk who are nowhere near London.
All vehicles currently produced are ULEZ compliant. Without ULEZ, in ten years time there would only be a handful of non compliant vehicles anyway. It’s a money grubbing scam, a control freak’s fantasy.
the rules for ULEZ will change and car you buy today wont be compliant in ten years
Can someone explain to me why the BBC science boffins are desperately determined to prove that the British race were developed from black visitors from Africa when Africa is thousands of miles away and there were no sea-worthy long distances vessels in Africa and white races from the North and Central Europe including Norse, Russians, Europeans etc. were only tens of miles away across the channel and the North Sea and already had seaworthy craft?
1. It looks like a blind spot to me!
2. Or just wishful thinking!
3. Or just BBC racebaiting shite.
I go for 3!
It’s amazing how they managed to get an outboard motor on The Kon Tiki back then, but they clearly managed to get hold of one!
I suggest that Arthur Daley Motors, (Calais) PLC had a hand in it, but will have to check!
I’ve not been following the Ukraine situation like some of you on here. However I thought this was interesting.
Slo-mo camerawork, emotive soundtrack, Hollywood trailer style slogans… it has all the marks of a carefully scripted presentation. What’s weird (to me) is the date: this is from the official Ukraine channel on March 20th — just 24 days after the war started.
Less than a month and they were already promising new dreams… new cities… a ‘Great Ukraine’. A country undergoing a great reset?
And there’s DIIA… creating “the state in a smart phone” with investment from US Aid & UK Aid. Leading the way in e-Governance:
There’s nothing weird about it at all. It was scripted a long time ago. Just like everything you have been witnessing for your entire life. Once you begin to grasp how much control the hidden hand has over global events things begin to make complete sense. But of course, I’m just a swivel-eyed conspiracy theorist so you don’t need to worry at all. Everything will be fine and rumours you will be confined to a tower block in a 15-minute city being administered mRNA injections every month for the rest of your life or you won’t get your UBI – well that’s just crazy.
The slime that is Facebook
Thanks Tomo!
A few minutes of listening to this lady brings hope for better times!
Who needs Bookface when we have a decent discussion here, with no resident trolls!
Whatever happened to the troll, whose name escapes me?
Do you mean the troll I often referred to as a failed product from a Petri dish?
Yes, where is Max? I miss him. I think he was my biggest fan – going by the fact that he used to quote my work all the time on this site. I am sure he kept a dossier on me – which will no doubt be produced as evidence when I am eventually tried for wrongthink.
I got the impression he was a poor creature who was easily fooled by government propaganda. Probably also a fashion victim who is a prey to crazes. It is my belief his absence is due to his getting a sex change operation.
As we all know, it was his habit to come out only under the cover of darkness. I imagine him spending many desperate nights roaming around London Colney and baying at the moon, his vain nocturnal cry echoing through the deserted streets of the quiet Hertfordshire village: “Where can I get gender reassignment surgery at this time of night?”
I believe he finally did discover a gender identity clinic offering an around-the-cock service and that our Max underwent the operation. I believe he is now recuperating. But he will be back.
He is contemplating changing his username from Maxincony to Vaginoplasty.
Perhaps he will now be more receptive to the thrust of our arguments.
Wasn’t there a “Scotty”, a long time ago , perhaps he/she morphed into maxincony ?
Or were they “sock puppets” operated by another well known corporation ?
If you’ve not heard of him look up William Connolly look up the git – he screwed with literally thousands of Wikipedia entries about climate change and is a complete eco-nutter.
Glossing over his shitting on the public record
– he’s got a little troupe of like minded twerps following his blog who pop up as trolls around the place.
They go to extreme lengths to hide their IDs and internet connections.
Will the BBC send it’s Capita goons onto the Bibby Stockholm to check for television licences. I very much doubt it. But it is their duty to do so. Be lucky to get an answer if you put a Freedom Of Information request in.
Has the BBC reported that we are being invaded yet ?
“Stop the boats”.
How many landed yesterday with the help from Border Farce and the RNLI?
“Stop the Boats”!
Matty epitomises the media.
Without the genius insights of Foghorn.
Matty digs in.
I do not have an Apple Watch. And my family eats well, unlike obese wimmin in tv complaining about food poverty.
I have yet to see Matthew Stadlen on GB News where he DOESN’T bring up how his Jewish grandparents fled persecution from Europe and sought sanctuary here. He does it every time he’s on.
Shall we see illegal migrants on the airwaves in 100 years (because they’ll keep coming then) talk about their relatives being welcomed here after facing persecution in France.
Perfessers on the loose.
Invite the opinions you like; get the opinions you like.
Policy by media guest… awesome.
Today programme Radio 4 just announced that 4.8 million people have immigrated to here since 2018 .
That’s a million a year !
1, 000 ,000
Perhaps not surprising. Imagine being told , get here and be put up in a luxury hotel , then go shopping, sorry shoplifting because the police aren’t interested, demand your rights , be given doctors dentists etc the locals can’t get , education, translation services when convenient for you like when in court , a car if you pretend you need it for work and the backing of charities and the BBC .
Real figure of the population of the U.K. is now revised upwards to 91 million .
This is the main reason I describe the UK as a failing state . 1 million a year leads to everything the BBC gripes about – but does not say that the failures stem from a government unwilling to control entry .
But the lefty defence will be that x number left the UK – but drill down and find it’s those who have seen the writing on the wall and have the ability to get out to somewhere better ….
Will any regime ever stop it ? No .
There will always be ‘unique ‘ groups – ‘unique ‘ circumstances .
But in the end locals will pay the economic and social price and moan about failing services – but not realise exactly ‘why ‘?
The chief constable of the Northern Ireland police is still taking his wage – despite the names ranks and roles of all his staff – officers being published on the internet .
Today the Telegraph just says ‘go ‘ . How can he not ? The one at the top – along with whoever pressed the ‘send ‘ button needs to be gone .
The public also have aright – as well as 10000 potential police victims and their families – deserve – to know exactly how the publication happened – and who did it . They’ve been betrayed already – failing to explain would be a further betrayal .
Someone suggested it was done by some WFH kidult – unsupervised – and without a clue – that has the ring of truth about it …
One might hope that -quietly – organisations all over the Uk -are -quietly – checking their systems to make sure nothing like that can ever – ever – happen . But the smell of decay and complacency is embedded in many organisations … but remember … your call is in a queue and is important to us ….
Best not to sit anywhere near anyone from Natwest at a posh dinner too Fed…
… you know, just in case…
Hello Scroblene – it looks mr Jack – the BBC scoop reporter – jumped the shark ? On that episode and I’m sure the Data protection people will have other ( psni )( election commission ) on its’ plate so maybe if mr farage isn’t bought off we may hear more in court ….
… anyway – I got me hands dirty – and switched on today for the 0810 big interview – 2 English speaking NHS doctors choosing to live the dream in Australia – and they ain’t coming back .
Government to blame of course – nobody else – not the organisation . No mention of how much they are paid in the UK or in Australia …..
After the set up – the ambush – the chief sec to the treasury – usually one of those MPs with a brain – who was put on the spot about the emigrating doctors – these MPs are always defensive when dealing with the NHS – as though every thing falls to the door of number 10 ..
… and them the growth figures – up 0.2% for the quarter ending June ? Unexpected . Depressing for the BBC – so bee lady went off on ‘it would have been better without brexit ‘….
.. they can’t let go … we have been notionally out for years now – but it is the bbc group think comfort blanket – like the ‘partner ‘ you’ve split with – they’ll come back – it will be okay again ( sniff ) …
Anyway – the full horror or riding interest and inflation rates isn’t feeding through yet – but the cold dark miserable Christmas narrative will start in a couple of weeks ….
The other fact is that Australia has a real economy, they mine gold, iron ore and coal.
We’ll have to see if their woke Government manage to ruin things for them.
We look forward to our high streets populated with nothing but a few bargain bucket stores, perhaps if we’re lucky we can rest our noses on the windows of a rare posh shop vending luxury brands – but nothing much in-between and we ponder Rotherham-style in this middle of the road edition
Let’s get the football news out of the way first – as our news titles perform a veritable masterclass in the vaguaries of that journalistic art – think-of-a-number, any number will suffice, and that ought to look about right…
Kane mulls move… Harry Kane is agonising over whether to join Bayern Munich after they agreed a fee with Tottenham thought to be worth more than £90 million (Times, frontpage)
IN HIS HANS Spurs accept £104m bid for Kane… but ace yet to sign deal (The Sun)
Kane in transfer turmoil Spurs striker ‘undecided’ on £86m move to Bayern (‘i’ newspaper)
BBC Sport, by the way, play a cagey defensive game by quoting the back page of the Times: Unsure Kane keeps Bayern in the dark. German club puzzled after £100m fee agreed – them and me both. More German news later.
Having established the typical modern journo’s lack of reliable sound numeracy in their reporting, now we wonder quite how far we can trust any details within this BBC report: How much do junior doctors really get paid in England? (BBC)
They do say our elites have benefited, while the wider masses suffer, from those various current economic trends – energy cost inflation, mass inward migration of cheap labour, lack of affordable housing, asset price bubbles, falling real wages, etc – all symptoms we tend to group under the cover all banner ‘cost of living crisis’
There’s certainly some indication this morning of a divergence of fortunes from up- and from down-market…
High Street Hammered 400 stores and 12,500 jobs in jepardy as Wilko goes into administration… the famous name could vanish like giants Woolworths and C&A… Other stores including Argos, Boots, Clintons and Iceland have all confirmed hundreds of store closures. (Bad news indeed for the advertising sheet Metro)
Collapse of Wilko… the worst high street collapse since Debenhams (Times)
Gordon Brown [no, not that one], managing director from 1992 to 2007, said he was surprised by how fast the situation had developed. Mr Brown said Wilko had recently lost ground to “more aggressive” competitors, such as Poundland, Home Bargains and B&M. “In the middle of the road you’re liable to get knocked down, and sadly, that’s what’s happened today,” he said. (BBC) – as the middle of the road middle class is hollowed out and we become a society of proletarian serfs and their elite masters…
That other Gordon Brown, Britain’s failed chancellor and failed PM, is also in the news: Gordon Brown has called for the Taliban to be prosecuted for crimes aganist humanity over the regime’s ‘systematic brutalisation of women and girls’ in Afghanistan (Times) – a worthy cause no doubt by the sound of it… but prosecuted in what court exactly? And what police force are we going to send to Afghanistan to arrest the Taliban? Last gasp liberal western ambitions overreaching failing western liberal power to act in the world, methinks.
Ukraine and the West are facing a devastating defeat. The prospect of a failed counter-offensive and significant territorial concessions would only embolden Russia and China (Telegraph)
Ukraine orders evacuation of parts of north-east (BBC)
Wars are not won by evacuations (Winston Churchill, Hansard, June 1940)
Seems perhaps our world-savingly ambitious Gordon wasn’t gaffing when he uttered those words we took at the time to be a slip of tongue: Gordon Brown: ‘We not only saved the world … ‘ The prime minister, Gordon Brown, makes a slip-up in the House of Commons at PMQs (Guardian December 2008)
We note our Gordon and his Labour party did nothing to save teenaged white English girls from ‘systematic brutalisation’ from Taliban types on his watch back here at home.
Meanwhile at the posh shops: Designers bagged. Tapestry takes on Europe’s luxury giants with $8.5bn deal to buy Capri… Brand attraction… models walk the runway at Versace’s FW show in California this year… $8bn sales by Tapestry’s six brands this year… $20bn sales by Gucci owner Kerring in 2020… $79bn sales by LVMH in 2020 (FT)
Bank deposits plunge as consumer cash needs rise (FT)
Traditional left-right politics in turmoil?
Politics Inside Starmer’s plan to ‘annihilate the left’ (left-leaning ‘i’ newspaper)
And at the other end of the spectrum… we’ve become well accumstomed to the bogey words Far Right – so the Times today goes with Radical Right: German’s “uncontrolled” migration policies risk leading to a Rotherham-style child abuse scandal, a senior figure from the radical right has told The Times – was he wearing a little toothbrush-style moustache, by any chance?
We recall that world-wide phenomenon known as Gangnam Style… but Rotherham-style – now an internationally recognised brand?
Listening to Gordon brown ( that one ) wittering on about the taliban following their culture of dumbing down women for breeding ppurposes – he left out the source of the issue – a certain joe Biden who pulled the plug on any attempt at civilisation in afgee ( we are meant to forget ) .
Maybe mr Biden should be the one on trial in the ICC for facilitation of crimes against humanity – unless he can blame president trump of course ….
AISI, I note that thickness and greed is also enjoyed by newspaper columnists/journalists: yesterdays report on public sector pay by the Telegraph has been carefully ignored by the i’s Sebastian Payne.
Gordon Brown is as far as I know the only Chancellor to have the recording of his budget speech expunged from the official record online.
“No more boom and bust”
No sign of any self awareness + humility there at all – total git.
Louis Parkinson and Tyrone `dean got 12 years each yesterday for a series of central London robberies where knives were regularly used and victims seriously injured . They are both coloured and both mid 20s . Few pictures of these vermin on newspaper websites . And comments notice this . Their faces appear in the ‘metro ‘ but not so elsewhere .
Few mentions of the death penalty for these 2 in the comments – whereas I would hang them …
It always cheers me up to recall that hot-mike incident when golf commentator Peter Alliss was overheard referring to annoying crowds wandering onto the fairways during matchplay: “They should be flogged, flogged… all the way to the gallows”
Haven’t you heard? It’s all our fault for not providing enough access to swimming pools and community centres.
Non
Frankly – chattering BBC types coming out with the ‘ not enough yoof clubs ‘ seem to excuse any parenthood which bred the ferals .
The 2 i mention above will do – it seems 8 years out of 12 – will prison reform them? Dont be daft fedup . So why not just kill them ? No loss . I wonder what their victims think ? Permanent injuries / physiological scars ..
My late father grew up in the rural wilds of Tipperary in the 1920s and 30s where – apart from the odd ‘borrowed’ bicycle – crime was almost unknown.
Then again he and his friends were always able to use the local swimming pool, gymnasium, all-weather football pitch, country club, cinema, theatre, artificial ski-slope and hang-gliding facilities.

TOADY Watch #1 – Guffaw Guffaw Guffaw a real Laugh Out Loud moment if it wasn’t so sad
The Cognitive Dissonance BBC showed up some NHS Doctors who suffer from the same diseases as the BBC; greedy plus ‘Hard of Thinking’ a.k.a. really thick. The male Doctor (it was a married couple – sorry, names forgotten) explained they were fed up with treating patients on temporary stretchers in corridors (that’s down to Civil Servants at DfH who cut UK bed numbers) and working long hours so they are off to Australia for more money and to make things worse for the patients and colleagues they are leaving behind.
You really could not make it up.
That couple are no loss to the NHS if that is the quality of their brain power and morals!

How wonderful. I’ve heard of three of them yet they are all celebrities in the BBC’s eyes of course. Mind you, I did think Krishnan Guru-Murphy was Martin Bashir. Perhaps he is, who knows?
My apologies a later segment of the Today programme said that the figures were 4.3 million since the beginning of 2018 .
Or did I hear right the first time ?
One was just before seven , the other just at eight o’clock .
How do the Powers That Be , the Clerisy and destroyers seep out the true figures without a backlash?
I reckon they up the figures, then down them a little , then up them even more, then down them a tinsy bit and repeat .
When they up them to near the real figure, it’s announced in a quieter time and programme, like an arts programme, then it’s down on the Today programme, then up even more somewhere else obscure . All the time softening us up as the real figure is near reached ( surpassed daily as more immigrants invade ) . At the same time they can glibly say Look we did announce the 70 million figure you didn’t listen .
Why do I think they’re so devious? Their threatograms prove it .
France has a slightly smaller population than the UK (around 65,000,000) but is around 2.3 times bigger than the UK in square miles.
Which just shows how choking our country is compared to the perfectly safe, wide-open, easily accessible France, with it’s excellent motorway network and generally nice climate.
Makes you wonder why all these people come to the UK………..
The inhabitable area of Britain is far lower than you quote. A great deal of our land area is in Scotland.

9am RadioHumberside news
As usual a non-news green item
“Some guy off Bake Off wil be judging our BBC RH Make A Difference green award..here’s a clip of him”
So it’s not news it’s PR for their own green award
#ImpartialMyAss
Stew – local radio…
I’m in awe that you keep reporting RadioHumberside
I simply cannot stand RadioWiltshire – it’s quite mind-crushing and they do the same garbage PRasNews in between some of the stupidest, ignorant presenters I’ve ever heard.
I gave up on the Kent stuff years ago! It’s all absolutely dire, and made worse by the gormless phone-ins they had on with tiresome regularity!
Smashy and Nicey would have been a Godsend…
Builders outside have that streak of Vile on their radio, and I am losing the will to live. This… is public service broadcasting?
Somehow I also get served up tweets from his other studio.
Sunak is an equal opportunity, across the board, failure, as are most of his cabinet of all the left handed spoons.
That said, one needs only look at the alternatives, about home such questions seldom get posed, even by ringer activists with a direct line to BBC droids in the cubicle gardens feeding the ‘talent’.
And are YAB, Femi and Jones on a rota?
They are on a lot of producers fast-dial lists and obviously the price is right in the gobby nitwit market.
Obviously they don’t do it for free.
Then it gets worse with Picky Vice, Nutter Ali Cambers and Prick Crackem…
You couldn’t make it up, as is said multiple times on here (due to the unbelievable things that seem to be going on in our country)
The Barge has been evacuated due to Legionella bacteria being found in the water.
One wonders…….
was it actually legionella?
– or did a elf in safertree insist on the prcautionary principle (as they all too often do)
If it was in the potable water – that doesn’t require an evacuation, if it was in the air conditioning chillers a spray with biocide – let the inhabitant have a bracing walk around the joys of Portland for a few hours.
Several times I have had safety reps go ballistic over non existent legionella simply because there’d been no documentation of chemical treatment or a documented flush of the water system.
Surely the answer is, ‘not to suck the taps’?
You may do this in your home war-torn country or pillaged France, but over here, we are pretty civilised don’t you know, we always use a glass or a mug…
How many languages are plastered all over the barge? Albanian, Albanian, Albanian, Albanian, Albanian, Albanian, and Albanian.
Scroblene
The received wisdom is that the water has to be a fine spray and inhaled…. On a ship water treatment is / should be a routine matter.
Many HSE peeps do not know this. Legionella bacteria are relatively common bugs.
I’d like to see an investigation – it looks like sabotage or an ideologically driven overabundance of caution.
Usual H&S over-reaction I think.
Having said that, Smarmer/Labour/BBC and all the liberal wokies are waiting for the Barge situation to go wrong. So perhaps the Home Office are being super cautious.

Hang on, pugnzious, you’ve used the wrong tense…
Thousands of young white girls ARE still being abused, raped and sometimes murdered, while pathetic plod and the BBC look the other way.
If you want the police or the BBC to get excited you’d have to mis-gender a tranny or use a racial epithet when describing one of these vile Muzzie rapists.
Then both the West Yorkshire police and the bent as buggery BBC will be down on you like a ton of bricks…

In another universe he’d be the world’s fastest shelf stacker.
The disease onboard the boat nonsense smells very woke lefty to me.
There must have been dozens of workers onboard for weeks getting it ready and no hint of germs in water problems which they would have undoubtably have been using.
The water quality would almost certainly have been checked before letting anyone on board as well.
In my opinion this was obviously kicked off by an inside “mole” who may well have intentionally carried the disease onto the ship in a flask or something only to “discover” it at the right moment because that’s the slime way the left operate.
A full inquiry with names, occupations (and interests) of those involved in its discovery should now follow.
If it turns out to be malicious intent then the guilty should do time, this is public money they are playing with!
digg
A water quality check would likely been part of the pre-sailing checklist before leaving Falmouth refit as part of the charter contract.
I too smell a stinky rat
I totally agree that a full inquiry with names, occupations (and interests) of those involved in its discovery should now follow and publish the report that triggered the evacuation.
Radio 4’s 6pm news led with the floating hotel story.
There was almost glee at the latest “government” failure, with nasty Mark Easton’s tone of voice giving the game away as much as his words. It was the same with the Rwanda scheme and legal objections thereto: the triumphalism of the BBC and the organized Left which it represents.
Then there was one of those “how long until the ‘but’ …” moments: the economy had grown more than expected, BUT … the Marxists of the BBC were quick to put a negative spin on things, just as Labour would want.
It’s reached the point now that I can hardly listen to more than half an hour of it without having to turn off,
Surely those forced to be on that hulk should be able to get sizeable compensation for being exposed to a dangerous bug by their new state ?got to be worth £100k plus a British passport and a council flat and a car and counselling and a book deal …

Yeh #ControllingTheNarrative
And why is there always enough money and man-power to install the speed humps but never enough to fix the pot-holes.
Potholes are the new speed humps . As a rider of a 300cc motor scooter I’m not sure which device I find more dangerous – the speed hump or the pothole . Either try to kill me from time to time .
Maybe potholes are better because they don’t cost anything to make – unlike speed humps which I think can cost £10k …
In line with the Highways Regulations, speed bumps must be no less than 25mm high and no more than 100mm high. It is important speed bumps are not to steep to ensure vehicles can safely pass over them. The maximum gradient recommended for speed bumps is a 1:10 gradient.
https://www.theaa.com/breakdown-cover/advice/speed-bumps
If every speed bump over 100mm high was to be reported can you imagine the cost and expense it would have on our local councils to make them compliant.
There must be tens of thousands not complying with this regulation.
In my retirement, I am going to begin measuring the height of every non-compliant inverted pot hole and report it to the council..
Perhaps other people could do the same.
Davylars – it sounds like you have a whole new business in the making . Why not go on that lions den thing – as modelled by ‘Harry and Paul ‘- Brian hairnet from frien Barnet …
Seriously measuring breaches in speed hump’s is a business worth ramping up ….
Brian Farnett from Fry & Barnett, IIRC.
I am going to begin measuring the height of every non-compliant inverted pot hole and report it to the council.

Pothole porn – pothole monthly – what pothole ? – pothole international – amateur potholer – inside potholes –
Very stiff competition for the most useless and corrupt police force in the UK.
My money is on the met.
Play detective . Read the current lead of the Mail Online . It’s about the suspicious death / murder of a 10 year old girl at a house in Surrey . Look for the names of the 3 suspects who ‘left the country ‘ just before the body was found . No names . No description. Getting the drift yet … 2 thirds into the piece and a ‘neighbour ‘ mentions the family is ‘ was from Pakistan ….
There is a theme there somewhere ….

The games is… if the involved is white splash it into the story, if not don’t mention it. It really does make me wonder how many of our “tanned” citizens sit at the BBC top table….
Of course in due time this is a recipe for kickback and eventually serious revolt.
As Enoch Powell predicted “The streets will run with blood”.
Oh how our police forces have degraded over the past few years. I cannot describe my disgust at the actions of the police at this event .

This “specimen” lady PC used her position to wreak revenge on a young girl with obvious issues and called up all her gullible fellow officers to carry out what can only be described as a personal and threatening revenge attack on this young girl.
This is NOT how any police officer should behave, using their uniform to exact personal Nazi level revenge on a member of the public.
This officers behaviour makes me sick to my stomach and I am disgusted by the “ support” she managed to call on from the stupid and gullible fellow officers who put more effort into this farce than they would ever do into a real criminal case.
They are in fact a club of vindictive idiots protected by their uniform and should be sacked to a man.
This needs to come before a court for misuse of police powers. They cannot be allowed to crush anyone they like with the force of the law for entirely personal reasons.
“you look like my lesbian nana”
surely that a term of endearment the high form of praise for the pride plod
