    News at Ten
    BBC One, 26 September 2023

    In the introduction to a report about the growing number of under-18s who are vaping, there was a reference to smoking and vaping being illegal for under-18s. It is in fact illegal for under-18s to buy, rather than consume, tobacco products or vapes and we should have made this clear.

        Dickie, that’s what I thought. Took me back to the last days of New Labour when Shirls (still alive then) and MadHattie had speeches relayed via BBC R4 way back in the day when it used to be on in the Snuffy household all day long. Listening to each on different occasions, a chill ran down my back and I felt like I had been at a Nuremburg Rally in the 1930s.

      LGBT in Afghan … Bacha bāzī (Persian: بچه بازی, lit. ’boy play’)[1] is a slang term used in Afghanistan,[2][3] Pakistan and in the history of Turkestan for a custom involving child sexual abuse by older men of young adolescent males or boys, called dancing boys, often involving sexual slavery and child prostitution.[4] Though outlawed, bacha bazi is still practiced in certain regions of Afghanistan.[5][6][3] Force and coercion are common, and security officials of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan stated they were unable to end such practices and that many of the men involved in bacha bazi are powerful and well-armed warlords.[7][8][9]

    Probably not.

    (It’s possible that Biden doesn’t even understand what’s going on, and that the policy of appeasement is that of the muslim Obama, the malign power behind the throne.)

      It seems the Foreign Secretary has ‘advised ‘ the BBC to call Hamas terrorists – terrorists – but the BBC has no plan to ‘review ‘ guidelines …
      …ok – I know it is sick to think it – but in a way it does our cause good – if right minded people see what Hamas Islamic terrorists have been / are doing – whilst the BBC refers to them as ‘militants ‘ or ‘fighters’ then more people will wake up .

      And maybe someone might do well to leak the balen report …

        That’s a good point, Fed.

        My admittedly unscientific feeling scanning social media is that a lot more people are beginning to wake up. I thought the video of Shani Louk’s corpse with its horribly twisted knee made a deep impression on a lot of people and it may be an image that goes down in history. The world is seeing not just the barbarity of Hamas but the warped mentality of the BBC in not being on the side of democratic and decent Israel.

        Hamas have made a propaganda error this time filming their own atrocities against Israelis rather than filming the Palestinian victims of Israeli bombing. Of course the useful idiots in the Western media are still taking their side but I detect an angry backlash amongst the public. I think they are beginning to see through the lies of the media.

          I’m surprised no one has objected to the term ‘ Hamas Gunmen’ being sexist and perhaps should be referred to in that ( ridiculous ) adoption of ‘batter ‘ instead of batsman … so the BBC would use ‘ Hamas Gunners ‘….

          … listening to the BBC … they can’t wait to accuse Israel of ‘over reacting ‘.
          Maybe just tell Gaza to go to Egypt and then flatten it …. Certainly make a bigger border zone … but I don’t know the detail .

            Yes, the language police too seem to have had an intelligence failure.

            And what about transgender representation in the military wing of Hamas? Have Queers For Palestine confronted them about that? Transterrorists are terrorists after all.

            Yeah, we’re hearing the phrase “over-reacting” a lot. And demands for the Israeli response to be “proportionate”. That’s not on.

            In war the goal is to defeat the enemy. Something these BBC pussies don’t understand. Israel needs to go further and utterly eradicate Hamas.

            Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005 hoping this would satisfy the Palestinians. But it didn’t. They voted in a terrorist organisation and became an existential threat to Israel. The Palestinians won’t be happy until they have wiped Israel off the map. How can Israel deal with such people?

    If Egypt pulled the border down and let anybody from Gaza in what would happen.

    The left have a very childlike view thinking all will be lollipops and roses but in the real world it would mean death, destruction and genocide.

    I live in Woodside Park in North London. There is a synagogue
    very near to Woodside Park tube station. It has 24 hour
    security. The security is even stronger when parents are
    taking their toddlers to the Kindergarten . On Saturdays and
    on Jewish festivals there are at least six security guards on duty.
    Whom do you think security is protecting them from ?
    Mr Smith? Mrs Jones? Mr McDonald? Mrs Fitzpatrick? Mr Patel? Mrs Gupta? Mr Singh? Mr Hayashi, Mrs Sato?
    No. You would of found at least 5000 of them outside the

      Terrorism: Police concern over teen far-right extremism
      https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-64399335

      THIS is what the BBC call terrorism.

      ‘Det Supt Gareth Rees said police could not “arrest our way out of” the issue.’

      It has the word ‘terrorist’ or ‘terrorism’ in it 15 times !.

      But of course closer inspection shows they have just shared information on the internet.

      No doubt their ‘far-right terrorism’ is inspired by acts like we have just seen in Israel and how the BBC refuse to call it what it is.

      Yet for Hamas we only ever see it if it is in apostrophes as a quote.

      This is how shameful the BBC – and the Leftist agenda they follow – have become.

        JohnC,
        As you say, I can’t find references to any terror offences in that article other than being a member of a banned group, talking online, downloading bomb making instructions (I remember flicking through The Anarchist’s Cookbook in Foyle’s on Charing Cross Road, too) and owning a Nazi dagger and an SS hat.
        The article tells you:

        On Wednesday, Luca Benincasa, 20, from Cardiff, “was locked up after admitting to being a member of a neo-Nazi group.”

        And:

        Benincasa was sentenced to nine years and three months in prison at Winchester Crown Court in Hampshire on Wednesday for being a “prominent” member of the banned neo-Nazi group Feuerkrieg Division.

        The bit I’ve put in quotes is a link to this from 25th January:
        https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-64404704
        Benincasa was sentenced for a range of offences, including downloading indecent images of children. They don’t mention that in their ‘far-right extremism’ story.

      Foscari, I know that synagogue well. But in every synagogue there are instructions on what to do if there is an attack eg keep the doors locked, call the police (except what do I think they might do except when asked and handed the phones by the attackers, take photos and hand the phones back to them). I know small synagogues where the gates are kept locked, 3 coded locks on the doors and cctv is a given.

      For Jews, security at the synagogue has always been considered necessary, more so if there is an event for children there. Non Jewish visitors are amazed at the security. The police and civic leaders will say the risk is the Far Right. Somehow I don’t think so.

      Just to add, to show how personal what is happening in Israel is. Many years ago I worked one summer on a kibbutz as a volunteer. l have just read on the Daily Mail website that 20 babies there have just been decapitated by Hamas. I wonder if it will be reported by the BBC.

    We should all be hammering home on every forum we post on the effects of ‘diversity’ regarding the reaction to what is happening in the Middle East.

    Diversity is the failed policy which took over from the failed policy of multiculturalism (funny how you never hear that word these days) which took over the failed policy of integration.

    Socialism is an horrific and murderous Satanic religion which has killed more people than any other cause even malaria since the two have co-existed. It constantly fails in its policies, but when it inevitably does the reaction is always the same – to blame someone else often with fatal consequences.
    You will hear today words such as ‘racist’ or ‘far right’ to describe a mythical and shadowy group which is ill defined and doesn’t really exist. In the Soviet Union it was counter revolutionaries.

    Socialists are incapable of taking responsibilty, are full of hate and violence and also incapable of producing anything contructive. We see them today glorying in the fight for South Africa, we don’t see a single one going there to sort out the mess they caused. Now they have moved on to destroying Israel in the same manner, and that’s all they can do, destroy everything they come into contact with. They haven’t a positive or constructive thought in their heads, and will never produce anything of value.

      Liverpool are you still working with Dr Mennah Elwan who mocked Israelis fleeing a massacre:

      “If it was your home, you would stay & fight. You wouldn’t just run away.”

      She also supported the Hamas atrocities & added “there are no civilians in Israel.”

      “Journalists know what they’re doing when they conflate protests against the Israeli occupation, and attacks on civilians in Gaza, with support for Hamas. But they’re confident that the rules of fair coverage don’t apply to Palestinians, or the British left who stand with them.”

      The immigrants make their way north, having no desire to assimilate to French culture, but continuing to demand a First World standard of living, even as they flout laws, do not produce, and murder French citizens, such as factory bosses and shopkeepers, as well as the ordinary people who do not welcome them. They are also joined by the immigrants who already reside in Europe, as well as various left-wing and anarchist groups. Across the West, more and more migrants arrive and have children, rapidly growing to outnumber whites. In a matter of months, the white West has been overrun and pro-immigrant governments have been established, while the white people are ordered to share their houses and flats with the immigrants.

      Funnily enough Brissles, I was talking about this earlier today (in Biggleswade market square)

      I go on many country walks and am constantly surprised at the many small rural hamlets and villages around Bedfordshire, I drove through Ireland yesterday after an afternoon in a pub garden in Old Warden, and a walk to the lake in Stanford Wood, and lunch in a pub garden in Ickwell last week.

      We walk around Hexton, Yielden, Roxton, Ampthill, Clophill, Woburn, Dunstable Downs, Sharpenhoe Clappers, Sutton to name a few.

      I think you will find that Luton and Bedford have skewed the statistic you mentioned and never see a dusky face on my travels, but there are so many beautiful places in Bedfordshire.

    PROMISES ….

    Starmer’s conference speech got off to a glittering start, although it didn’t contain anything we didn’t already know. Guido gives you the main points…

    Build on the “grey belt” to expand home ownership, build on the “grey belt” with a total aim of 1.5 million over 5 years. The only officially new policy…
    Use money from the scrapped non-dom tax status for the NHS.
    VAT on private schools to pay for extra state school services. If only it would actually raise any money…
    Invest for more policemen.
    NHS needs reform, can’t be kept “on a pedestal“.
    “National Wealth Fund” with private sector, part-owned by the state.
    New “generation” of technical colleges.
    State-owned green energy company to provide “Great British energy“. Channelling Joe Biden…
    A “real living wage, which is good for growth“.
    Ending zero-hours contracts.
    Starmer wants voters to think of him as Attlee and Blair spliced together. For someone claiming to represent the “fire of change” Keir’s speech sounded like it was meant to reassure Tory voters…

    A lot of ‘calls for’ from the usually suspect brigade, like Corbyn, especially as Hamas suddenly twigged it may have raped and murdered a sleeping dragon’s family.

    Be interesting who trots out the desire for peace now at QT.

    This might frame context.

      Got to be careful for things like this because that statement is truly disgusting and should be unacceptable to all civilised people with it being in such full support for the brutal terrorist murder of so many people.

      It could be a right-wing fake – even more likely a Left-wing ‘plant’ intended to be exposed as a right-wing fake. Then scumbag trolls such as maxi use it on forums like this.

    I’ve just heard the Israelis had deployed Mossad and other units to Ukraine which dissapointed Russia as they had protected Israel from infiltration via Syria which they largely control.

    I’ve heard that Turkey has been responsible for training these Jihadi’s along with Iran and that such a thing was not previously considered possible.

    I can only conclude absolute incompetence on behalf of the IDF with the Iron Dome system switched off, and security at a minimum because of Yom Kippur hence no security at the borders.
    Worse that Israeli intelligence was informed of the attack by the Egyptians and ignored it.

    Bidens corrupt regime insisted Israel supplied the Ukrainians with 155mm ammunition, and now has very little, and the USA cannot supply any.
    It would not surprise me if the Russians decided to allow Hezballah a free hand given the betrayal Netanyahu has perpetrated. Rumour control says they haven’t really been involved but opening up a second front would be very advantageous to the Russians given the appalling state the US economy is in right now.

        And don’t forget the Afghanistan bloodbath which was directly the fault of Biden overruling the Generals for his own political gain.

        Complete of course with another free-pass from the MSM such as the BBC – who were very willing to go along with blaming Trump for it.

        Zephir, DJT is a businessman and, therefore, a negotiator. If he isn’t re-elected or imprisoned he should be the next Secretary-General of the UN as he would do a far better job than the waster that has the post right now. I remember how North Korea was threatening to nuke the USA west coast some time in 2016/17. Trump went out to N.K. and ‘charmed the socks off’ the President there, as well as the leadership of South Korea and Japan.

    BBC doesn’t like Britain and its white history.

    R4 4pm The Mandate was coincidentally a prog about the British Mandate in Palestine from the 1920s.
    It followed the BBC habit of finding Whitey British man guilty of all the worlds bad deeds
    “The British used human shields, making sure the front of trains held Palestinians”
    Yes cos the trains were being attacked by Palestinian terrorists.
    It’s not the same as Saddam Hussein’s attacking army using human shields.
    Later the reporter led his witness who was only a child at the time. “I think I remember you telling me the British rounded up the villagers”

    4:30pm first a trailer.. The BBC is doing a modern version of the Indian classic The Mahabharata
    .. I would have thought Indian media which serve its 1 billion population do enough Indian drama , why does British peoples TV poll tax money need to be used.

    4:31pm Book prog . guests
    Rhys Stephenson a black CBBC presenter
    and Esther Manito a female Lebanese comedian (She’s a bit like Sharon Tate)

    Top news, front page headline:
    Keir Starmer promises decade of renewal under Labour
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-67058848

    Complete with a HYS and lots of people telling us not to vote Tory under any circumstances.

    It really is beyond ridiculous now : The BBC don’t even try to hide their bias when the stakes are as high as this.

    This is as ‘positive’ as they got for Sunak:

    1. He owned HS2 cancellation
    ‘ … He promised to spend all of the money saved on local transport improvements, trams, buses rail, roads – many, many roads.’

    So does that mean the BBC support HS2 now ?. Or just because Sunak has cancelled some of it ?.

    As I doubt anyone at the BBC or in OFCOM vote Tory, nobody is going to complain.

    This is my testimony of the most disgusting biased BBC sewage.

    On BBC London at 1830. There was a trailer about a young man who survived the Hamas atrocity at the pop festival in Israel, and his father who is a surgeon in North London.

    In the trailer, the father is seen saying something like…….. ‘ the people who have been murdered’. At that point the sound is edited out but the visuals continue ( in error???) for another two seconds. I am sure, by lip reading, he says ‘by the terrorists’. So he has said ….‘people who have been murdered by the terrorists’. So the BBC tried to edit out ‘by the terrorists’ but forgot the visuals.

    In the actual report both the audio and visuals are edited out after ‘people who have been murdered’.

    So here we have clear evidence of the depths of intellectual depravity by the BBC writ large. Hamas may be regarded as terrorists, even by the UN, but to the bottleless, spineless, useless, pro-Palestinian biased BBC, the top priority is to ensure they are not regarded as terrorists,

      They often make mistakes like that these days. I am assuming it’s because their entire staff are now useless idiots who got taken on to fit the quotas – after being interviewed by a clueless young ‘team leader’ with little actual experience and was taken on for the same reasons.

      A while back the enrichment in Londonistan were looting somewhere or others. The BBC blurred out every face in the foreground to such an extent that you could not identify the colour of the person. Except of course they missed the one stood behind them whose face was still perfectly visible.

      I noticed a lunchtime item about people in Israel who had ‘died ‘ whereas those in Gaza had ‘been killed ‘ … I admired the cleverness of the bias by language

      I think the BBC won’t change the language of what Hamas Islamic terrorism is and will stick with ‘fighters ‘ … this is because those in the BBC might become targets of …. Terrorists … or is it ‘insurgents ‘? Or fighters or gun men …. Gun persons – persons who are fighters who identify as … men …

      And how do Christians fare in the middle East ? in any muslim country ?

      And who is telling their stories in the MSM ?

      “Earlier this year, Open Doors USA issued its annual report on religious persecution around the world. The most difficult and dangerous place for Christians in 2022 is now Afghanistan. That’s not perhaps a surprise, given that Afghanistan is ruled by an Islamic Sunni fundamentalist group, the Taliban, who have made a name for themselves antagonizing religious minorities.

      Perhaps more surprising and arresting is the fact that seven out of the top ten countries on Open Doors USA’s 2022 World Watch List have a significant Muslim population and a level of Islamic radicalism. In truth, there are very few Muslim countries—or countries with large Muslim populations—where Christians can avoid intimidation, harassment, or violence. For example, almost 80 percent of all Christians killed in 2021 were in Nigeria (about 53 percent of which is Muslim), and another 11 percent were killed Pakistan, which is about 95 percent Muslim.

      In practically every Muslim-majority country—from Morocco on the northwest coast of Africa to supposedly secular and democratic Indonesia in Southeast Asia—blasphemy laws on the books deter criticism of Islam and are often used as weapons against Christian minorities. A few years ago, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, the Christian governor of Jakarta, Indonesia, was found guilty of blasphemy and sentenced to prison time. The list of countries in which apostasy from Islam (and only Islam) is a capital offense includes Sudan, Afghanistan, Brunei, Mauritania, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen. These are all self-identifying Muslim nations.”

      So none of the people arrested were terrorists then.

      Like the teenager shot by Israelis a few months back. We weren’t told he was behind a wall shooting at them.

      I’m sure there is plenty of blame to go between both sides – but experience tells me which side are likely to be the most violent – by a factor of 100.

      Yes the antics of Israelis wrt to displacing locals needs addressing – and indignation is an appropriate reaction. Sometimes – often even the Israelis haven’t / don’t behave well at all towards their neighbours – but also they don’t get much credit when they do behave well… Simon Webb’s piece on Gaza is worth a view.

      I looked at the rest of DDN vids – I think I detect a pattern of red goggle wearing, Corbyn hats and weekend Keffiyeh wearing.

      I’ve been threatened (in blood curdling language) by mullahs for being an infidel (without any evidence beyond my appearance).
