Are we about to witness full on anti Israel reporting from the BBC ? – even more than what they are doing ?
After all – according to the BBC what the Hamas Islamic Terrorist Group is doing isn’t Terrorism – slaughtering civilians is … something else ….

Why won’t the BBC call terrorists, terrorists? What happened to small children and babies at Kfar Azar is not the work of ‘militants’. As I am away and unable to watch the BBC, I don’t know if they are even reporting it. Even if I were at home, I would still avoid watching.
I remember not that long ago Jeremy Bowen lying in a ditch, gaspIng for breath, helmet and flak jacket on appearing to be under fire. Shame those people behind him were taking their Sunday afternoon stroll. Has that sort of thing being going on for the last couple of days?
I noticed even on the Daily Mail website events closer to home are now the main news. Well Holly was missing Phil. Still think we are not being told the whole story. As I understand it, the man has been arrested and looks as though Holly could outrun him,even in high heels. Didn’t there use to be a saying, ‘the show must go on?’

Well done you two. I’m muscling in above Snuffy 🙂
Well done, Debs. And Lucy, too. All we need now, is Brissles or Lynette. 🙂
‘Mr Ben Zion said Hamas gunmen who killed families, including babies, were “just a jihad machine to kill everybody, [people] without weapons, without nothing, just normal citizens that want to take their breakfast and that’s all.”
Some of the victims, he said, were decapitated.’
Just how long can these BBC far-left activist scum continue to refuse to call people who did this terrorists ?.
It’s a rule they made up for themselves.
BBC guidelines stating that the word terrorist is not to be used is plain wrong.
What isn’t this challenged by government?
Useless Tim should be summoned to Downing Street and explain himself.
Any decent organisation would say, sorry we have got this wrong, we will rescind this rule.
The media have to operate inside thug countries like Palestine, Russia, Sudan etc
And their governments want to label their opposition as “terrorists”
The media is able to avoid joining in the propaganda machine by pointing out it doesn’t label any sides as terrorists.
It originated from some BBC bod in Saudi Arabia who requested the word not be used because so many Muslims think of these terrorists as ‘freedom fighters’.
As we saw on our own streets when they celebrated. Just imagine what the BBC would have done if it were far-right people celebrating a similar massacre somewhere else in the world.
The most obscene of double-standards by the BBC. Again.
Back in the mists of time at the turn of the century I used to naively think that pointing out hypocrisy was a powerful shot across the bows of the leftist elite and the mass migration is good brigade. You know we used to say things like ‘ well have them stay in your home then’ , thinking it must be a devastating direct hit.
These days the globalist left are totally immune to any attempt to point out their overwhelming hypocrisy or their enormous cognitive dissonance.
The BBC in particular lives within a armoured bubble , a force field, which is impervious to criticism , well founded charges of hypocrisy and to any other challenge . Those who work there live with a permanently high level of cognitive dissonance which would put normal people into a clinic.
The normal rules of human behaviour do not apply to them. I think that the BBC typifies so many modern globalist left elitists in that it believes it’s mission to be so noble , so good , that the ‘ends will always justify the means ‘. In their view this excuses any crime any sin that is committed by them and their favoured groups.
“Suella Braverman urges police chiefs to use ‘full force of the law’ against shows of support for Hamas and warns waving Palestinian flag on British streets ‘may not be legitimate'”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12615887/Suella-Braverman-urges-police-chiefs-force-law-against-shows-support-Hamas-warns-waving-Palestinian-flag-British-streets-not-legitimate.html
It is fully time that our limp wristed and pathetic excuse for a home secretary started to grow some cajonnes. She uses cringe worthy words such as ‘urges’ and ‘may not be legitimate’. Is she in office or not?
We have individuals who have gone so far beyond ‘enraging public decency’ that an end must be put to the trauma they are suffering – having to live with us kaffirs and Jews. They must have their suffering relieved by a free flight to a country where they would be happier to live such as the flag they are flying from their cars, or alternatively to live in Iran or Saudi Arabia who have lots of room.
“Police should also consider whether chants such as ‘From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free’, which is popular with the Palestine solidarity movement, ‘should be understood as an expression of a violent desire to see Israel erased from the world’ and amount to a racially aggravated public order offence.”
Muslims ? racist ? who would have thought it ?
NEVER EVER the bbc
Why oh why did we let a certain race / religion to have unfettered immigration to the UK ?
The Sikhs, no problem, the Hindus, no problem, Chinese no problem, west indians no problem (apart from some of their kids)
The muslims. often a big problem, complete and utter refusal from so many to adapt to our culture or in many cases our laws
THEIR opinions are above our laws or culture (once they get a UK passport)
The failure here is the Home Office, there should be at least 10 years of monitoring before these are allowed a UK passport, having worked in Luton, I know for a fact that they are getting others to take English exams for them (it cost £500) the fraud and crime around this immigration is blatant but not acted upon
The legacy of this is a foreign enclave, within our country that despises us and has sympathy for muslim terrorsists around the world, they have infested local government and now the the bbc with this which is apparent to the whole country now
This is England believe it or not, the scum we have invited into this country,
Next time you take a walk around your neighbourhood, just thank God you are not close to this “vibrant” community, the “diversity that built Britain” apparently…

Busy “building” Britain, obviously, and recovering from the trauma of slavery…….
One aspect of the war in Israel is the surfacing of various Muslims in the UK supporting Islamic terrorism – there a doctor – a professor – and Allah knows how many more …..an enemy within …. and worthy of targeting …..
I would bet the vast majority of muslims feel at least some sympathy for their ‘brothers’ who are, after all, just doing what their war manual instructs them: to kill infidels.

Fed,
All those exempt from ‘Hate Speech’ laws. Our Stazi would not touch these with a barge-pole. The police only know how to visit the indigenous population victims in their own homes out of the blue during the dark of night to check why you were heard to utter some previously normal phrase.
What IS the problem with hiring a few hundred bodies- even with minimal training, to do first round vetting of asylum seekers ?
Brisssles, I probably should not share this but am so bloody angry about it
Our laws and procedures (thanks Blair)
All it takes is a declaration and thats it,
I should bloody know having been arrested and locked up for 8 hours after requiring my Chinese partner to leave after her horrible behaviour (and she has her own property in China and family and friends so not throwing her out on the streets)
only way she can stay here is to get a conviction for domestic abuse as her marriage visa is no longer valid
so guess whsat she does
not charged but 5 police officers turning up grabbing me by the arms, marching me down the road, phone siezed etc etc
All on the simple words of an enraged woman who was rejected

Total sympathies – it is called the ‘man out of the house rule’
For about five years I had the front page of the Guardian pinned up on my notice board. It showed a picture of a convicted murderess (thornton?) hands clasped together in a saintly pose. She had stabbed her husband to death as he lay sleeping.
The feminazies had successfully campaigned to get her released and the wife of the PM (booth) pinned a medal on her for ‘bravery’.
I spat on that newspaper every day.
You know all that kneeling crap footballers have been doing over ‘whatever ‘? Well it seems they are a little more reluctant to condemn terrorist attacks in Israel . Some might say it’s because of all that corrupting Muslim money sloshing into prem clubs – or the dream of past it payers getting a pay off playing in Saudi ….
Principles. And morality can be bought pretty easily …
Lots of people asking for a cease fire in Isreal
Never heard that RE Ukraine Russia
how strange
Racism bad – Rape good?
Now hearing that Hamas is using US military weapons but it is not known how oe Bribeden got these weapons to them, whether it was his catastrophic cut and run away policy in Afghanistan or the corruption of his Ukraine war where the weapons were sold on the Black market.
I suppose there is also the possibility the Russians could theoretically have supplied captured weapons, but they appear reluctant to repay Israels duplicity toward them.

I am a Jewish atheist. I have no truck for the religious
nutters in Israel. As I do with nutters from any religion.
I only mean the nutters . Because folk who follow their
religion with empathy for other religions I have the
greatest respect.
Then there is Jeremy Bowen telling us that he cannot verify
that an old grandma has had her head hacked off by Hamas.
But he does believe that she is dead . Thank you Jeremy.
Your reporting once again on Israel in your own
mendacious way. I don’t know why Israel lets you into
the country. Maybe it’s the head gear you wear. And they
cant pull you out of the line. And aren’t we all looking
foreward to Orla Guerin turning up, to tell us what the
MILITANT heroes are up to.
I am no expert on religion, but suspect that if you want to kill other people you should really examine your spiritual faith, and maybe see a psychiatrist

BERLIN — There is currently a single rescue ship operating in the central Mediterranean to aid the thousands of refugees and migrants attempting to cross on their own from northern Africa over to Europe, according to its operators.
The rescue ship, dubbed the Ocean Viking, set sail early last month from Marseilles. It is run by the nonprofit humanitarian organization SOS Mediterranee, and the Central Welfare Board of Jews in Germany has joined a number of other aid groups in supporting its efforts.
That’s an eye opener to be sure !
Israel strikes U.N. deal to send thousands of African migrants to Western countries
JERUSALEM — Israel said on Monday it has canceled a plan to deport African migrants to Africa and reached an agreement with the U.N. refugee agency to send more than 16,000 to Western countries instead.
Other migrants, many of whom are seeking asylum, will be allowed to remain in Israel for at least the next five years, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said in a statement.
The fate of some 37,000 Africans in Israel has posed a moral dilemma for a state founded as a haven for Jews from persecution and a national home. The right-wing government is under pressure from its nationalist voter base to expel the migrants, while others are calling for them to be taken in.
In February, Israel started handing out notices to 20,000 male African migrants giving them two months to leave the country or risk being thrown in jail.

The Late, Great Hamas Finally Got Its Wish–And . . . ?
Ever since Hamas was “elected” to run Gaza, and then followed the usual “one election/one time” Middle-East formula, it has bragged nonstop that its agenda was to erase Israel off the face of the earth (cf. the wall map in the office of our Representative Tlaib).
Its unabashed nihilist boasts resonated throughout the Palestinian “movement.” Its fiery threats delighted the Arab street.
Indeed, Hamas was soon celebrated as the most “authentic” of the radical Palestinian terrorist movements.
Which cadre of thugs could top its end-of-days rhetoric, its assured and steady supply of money and weapons from Iran, its satanic eagerness to mutilate and dismember, and the sanctuary and financial wherewithal offered to it by our “ally” Qatar?
None.
Since it was viewed as the most “volatile” and creepy of the Palestinian factions, and the most useful to Iran, the Obama and Biden Administrations appeased its murderers. Was it not part of their hare-brained grand strategy of empowering theocratic Iran, and its Syrian, Hezbollah, and Hamas hirelings?
Their campaign (remember the “they literally know nothing” media and the Obama “echo chamber” created by a boastful Ben Rhodes?) was to forge these disparate Islamists into a crescent of resistance to Israel and any “moderate” Arab regime (recall the Obama-Biden transitory hatred of the Gulf sheikdoms).
The result would be “creative tension” —as well as payback for the Israeli election of Netanyahu.
Through this formula, Obama believed he could always pressure Israel to grant concessions to radical Palestinians, thanks to the looming threat of an ever menacing (and soon to be nuclear) Iran, with help from Obama’s other friends—the then Muslim Brotherhood government in Egypt and his pal, the neo-Ottomanist and anti-Semite Erdogan of Turkey, Obama’s self-described personal liaison to the Islamic world.
Yes, of course, this was sheer madness—if perhaps characteristic of Obama’s well-known orneriness.
Perhaps someday soon, a few disinterested historians might even record that the current nightmare in Israel is the logical end-result of what Barack Obama, John Kerry (remember his Trump-era Paris reconnaissance with the Iranians?), Ben Rhodes, Valerie Jarrett, Robert Malley, Joe Biden, Antony Blinken, and a host of other incompetent but otherwise haughty and dangerous people once conjured up.
A defiant, and empowered murderous Hamas was one of the many dividends of their appeasement and grand Middle-East schemes—given the eagerness of the Obama and Biden administrations to send hundreds of millions of dollars into Gaza, despite warnings from their own experts that such cash would enhance terrorism and abet the evil work of Hamas with an American financial stamp of legitimacy.
Hence, a soon to be nuclear Iran, freed from sanctions, had enough money (remember the nocturnal cash pallets on the Tehran tarmac?) to fund its surrogate global death squads.
Hamas has killed Jewish civilians for nearly two decades, always escaping the full wrath of Israel retaliation by appealing to the amoral consciousness of leftwing European and American governments. It counted on ample help from both Iran and Arab regimes, along with Turkey, which always screams “instability” at the first sign of Israeli retaliation.
The blustering Hamas has now murdered 1,000 Jews in their homes, preferring especially to gun down children, reportedly behead babies, torture the doomed, rape the helpless, execute the elderly, and brutalize women—and topping the killing off in good SS fashion by gleeful dismemberment and desecration of Jewish corpses.
So, they finally got their wish for their own version of the Holocaust, for what they had always bragged would be the “final” Israel-ending war—as their cowardly elders announced last Saturday from their protected enclaves.
Yes, Hamas promised their mass killing of innocents would ignite the Muslim world, incite simultaneous attacks on Israel from Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and perhaps Egypt—all as their planned anniversary replay of the Yom Kippur War’s first 48 hours.
And it may—or may not.
The ebullient people of Gaza seemed initially enthralled at videos of mutilated Jews, and showed their zeal by spitting on hostages carried back home for supposed Roman-like triumphs before their public sacrifices. Videos of the gruesome killings of Jews were hot downloads on Gaza mobile phones.
Now mutilating dead Israelis, now boasting how brave their sons were in slaying unarmed jews inside Israel, Gazans assumed a shocked Israel would capitulate.
Would not its megaphones in the West characteristically protect them and restrain Israel?
Could not they themselves always ensure a few thousand of their own civilians be sacrificed as expendable human shields of their missiles pads, and thus become necessary fuel for their boilerplate accusations of “war crimes” that usually curtailed Israeli retribution?
But now the Israeli retaliation seems oblivious to all that.
It may not be like the past incursions into Gaza that were manipulated by a cowardly Hamas to gain media sympathy for “collateral damage” that they themselves had engineered.
Predictably, as Israel ramps up the air attacks and prepares for the ground assault, the global media is showing a concern for civilian collateral damage in a way it never quite did for murdered Jewish innocents and beheaded infants.
Western governments are terrified of Middle East killers who may return to their previous attacks on their European citizens. After all, Western leftwing suicidal immigration policies have ensured large unassimilated Muslim populations. Millions have fled the self-created violence and tyranny of the Middle East only to cheer it on from a safe distance in their adopted Western homelands, whose welcoming of these “refugees” is now so often reciprocated with sheer contempt for the apologetic hosts.
Nonetheless, the Gaza crowds of 48 hours ago who were boasting their sons murdering with impunity and spat on bound defenseless women, are now aggrieved. But they might as well be barking at the moon about the supposed “unfairness” of the Israeli air counterattack.
Among the rubble of once Hamas high-rises they are weeping for media cameras, calling on a corrupt and anti-Semitic UN for accustomed relief, threatening on spec the West with who knows what (is it now infant beheading or body dismemberment?), and in general suddenly quite unhappy about their “final” war they just recently boasted was all but won.
Will the heroic legions of Hamas who beheaded and raped now pour out in the streets to fight the IDF and push them into the sea as promised?
Perhaps not?
Some final thoughts: Why has Iran gone from bragging three days ago about its training and tutelage of the Hamas killers suddenly to pleading that while it is certainly delighted about the beheadings, rapes, executions, and mutilations, it technically had no actionable role in ensuring them?
The truth is that a Hamas right now is alternately threatening and begging Western governments, beseeching its suddenly mum Iranian suppliers, whining that Hezbollah and the PNA have not yet sufficiently shared the bloodletting of this war, and generally railing for more jihad from a few of its increasingly so-so, nonplused Middle-Eastern sponsors.
Hamas fears it may have boxed itself in, with two American aircraft carriers between it and Iran, with private satisfaction from many Arab states that their nuisance Hamas might at last have committed suicide through its mass homicide, with even fanatic supporters hard-pressed to make their “moral” case for the beheading of babies, and with a half-million IDF soldiers headed their way to deliver upon them divine justice, perhaps in the Lincolnesque Second Inaugural sense of “the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.”
Translated, that means for the first time in its existence an unholy Hamas may not get out of its self-created rendezvous with what it has so duly earned, given there is now no assurance of third-party relief and thus no restraint on Israel.
Even a shaken and shamed Biden administration—guilty of an open border and its de facto support for Hamas and Iran, but suddenly scared of a furious election-cycle American public—may for a while not call off Israel.
The arrogant but half-educated Harvard crowd, the European Islamists, the woke and pampered anti-Semites on Western campuses, the AOC socialists, the pro-Hamas Squad, the BLM chorus who cheered on the Hamas glider death attack, of course CAIR, and all the usual suspects for now are as furious as they are impotent—petulant that for once, just this once, and for a while longer at least, no one is listening to their oh so tired amoral defense of the indefensible.
Very long post but well worth the reading. I still suspect that the Hamas apologists in the White House and other cowardly Western governments will, once they get over the shock, change their tune and attack Israel for doing the right thing.
I notice
No dancing around and laughing by Isrealis at dead, murdered defenceless bodies of women and children
meanwhile in Gaza and certain ghettoes in the UK it seems to be party time
That tells me all I need to know
God is great I’ve just put a bullet in a childs head
and one of them is even working for the NHS and claiming she is underpaid
IMHO she should be behind barbed wire in a prison camp
She might lose a little weight in the process, no bad thing for the fat, well fed,yet apparently underpaid monster
Just a thought, how many religions have dedicated followers who regularly gang rape children, murder, bomb and decimate other humans in the name of their religion ?
I can only think of one
The religion of peace they call themselves apparently

Inside Kfar Aza where Hamas militants killed families in their homes
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-67065205
Just reading this article by Jeremy Bowen and even he is obliged to admit what the Hamas terrorists have done. Of course the BBC scumbag refuses to call them terrorists at all.
So I carried on past the main part of the story looking to see if this snake somehow tries to make this slaughter seem more respectable. And it dawned on me that he is using the declaration of war by Israel AFTER the attacks to try and make out Hamas were fighting a legitimate war. And I actually think he is trying to make people think it is like the ‘war crimes’ the BBC accuse Russia of every other day.
He writes:
Kibbutz Kfar Aza adds to the considerable evidence that is accumulating of war crimes by Hamas gunmen.
‘It is clear that the killing of hundreds of civilians by the Hamas attackers is grave violation of the laws of war.’
Not war crimes at all Jeremy. They are not an army at war. They are terrorists. Plain and simple. Our own government, the EU and the USA all designate them as such.
And of course he just can’t help dropping this in:
‘But in Gaza, hundreds of civilians are also being killed. International humanitarian law states clearly that all combatants must protect the lives of civilians.’
Sometimes I am amazed at the complete shits the BBC employ. But not often as I have got used to it. But Jeremy belongs in a cesspit all of his own (maybe with Jonathan Head for company). Along with all the evil b@st@rds they try to protect.
When the bbc appoints muzzies as heads of religion, then whats the bloody point of even arguing with the twisted bastards
Strong words Xephir, but your point is absolutely valid.
What kind of National Broadcaster appoints a Muslim as head of religion when only 6% of the population identify as such ?.
A spiteful, far-left activist one who are totally out of touch with the people they are supposed to serve.
I wonder how many Muslim countries have done the same in reverse. I would estimate somewhere around zero – and as they are the most intolerant people on Earth, they would create big trouble if anyone tried it.
This is Indonesia : touted as one of the most tolerant of Muslim countries:
‘Jakarta governor Ahok found guilty of blasphemy’
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-39853280
What did he do?
‘He implied that Islamic leaders were trying to trick voters by using a verse in the Koran to argue that Muslims should not vote for a non-Muslim leader.’
“The sentence is too light, he should have got the maximum of five years, or better still be hung,” said Solihin.
Of course the BBC do not give us any specifics so we can judge just how outrageous the charges were.

6 per cent islam

And I suspect that 99 percent of the UK don’t even know how to pronounce his bloody name
and they keep twisting the knife:

Actor, comedian and writer, Humza Arshad presents new documentary, Finding Forgiveness (w/t) for BBC Two and iPlayer
“competitive recruitment process:
Are you a muslim ?
yes
You’ve got the job
Simple background facts should be repeated as people have hardly been given them by the BBC or other mass media .
Israel left Gaza completely in 2005 and have been giving them work in Israel ever since, because their own leaders do nothing to improve their living conditions. Israel installed and provided them with electricity and water. It was through one of those humanitarian borders that hundreds of terrorists poured in to Israel and began their murderous spree. The devastating loss to a tiny country is unbelievable.
So now we know why they will never call the terrorists terrorists
their head of religion may object because ….I could not possibly comment ……..

Stop Aleem Maqbool’s appointment as Head of religion for the BBC
Petition to: Nadine Dorries MP – Secretary of State for Digital – Culture – Media and Sport
The BBC has, after what they say was a competitive recruitment process, appointed a new Religion editor, Aleem Maqbool. Mr Maqbool, a Muslim and journalist of some note, previously acted as the BBC’s Pakistan Correspondent and Gaza/West Bank Correspondent (https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/2021/bbc-news-aleem-maqbool-religion-editor/). He is due to take up his new position this Spring.
Maqbool succeeds Martin Bashir and, before that, Aaqil Ahmed. Two of these men are overtly Muslim, and one is of Muslim heritage. In Ahmed’s promotion of multicultural programming, there were numerous complaints of anti-Christian bias and calls for his removal.
The BBC was established by Royal Charter in 1927, ‘to inform, educate and entertain’, with committed Christian, Lord Reith, appointed as Director-General. Inscribed over the foyer of Broadcasting House, in Latin, are the words:
“This temple of the arts and muses is dedicated to Almighty God by the first Governors in the year of our Lord 1931, John Reith being director-general…”
Our society and culture are founded on Christian values, and we are a Christian country. According to the Office for National Statistics, 59% of the population self-identify as Christian, with only 6.3% identifying as Muslim. (https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/culturalidentity/religion/articles/exploringreligioninenglandandwales/february2020; https://www.statista.com/topics/4765/islam-in-the-united-kingdom-uk/#dossierKeyfigures).
On what grounds can and does the BBC justify appointing as Head of religion on the last three successive occasions – since 2009 – only British Asians, two of whom are Muslim, and one from a Muslim family?
This is not celebrating diversity and reflective of our multicultural society. It smacks rather of an agenda, overtly hostile to traditional British values and history and aimed at promoting the progressive Islamisation of our country.
We call for Aleem Maqbool’s appointment to be stopped, and for a fairer recruitment process reflective of our Christian heritage and faith.”

“BBC: Aleem Maqbool Religion And Family Details Revealed
Aleem Maqbool’s personal information is unknown as the journalist loves to keep his personal information private. Due to privacy concerns, it is acceptable that he has decided to stay low-key at the moment.”

Why does that not surprise ?
bbc quotes
‘We have to think about what happens after’: Top EU diplomat
Josep Borrell, the European Union’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs, has said in a statement that Israel’s response in Gaza may have already breached international law.”
bbc is anyone actually bothered what the unelected people in the eu think. Their TOP EU DIPLOMAT lol, big name, useless organisation
I stopped at the first four words
Just joined Amazon Prime to ensure I get the first pressing of the bbc liar Marriana Spring’s book, the victim of trolls, was lucky enough to get a preview:
chapter one: (my struggle)
Sum peeple dont like me they is nasty wen i film them then edit it to make them look far rite
my teecher at skool told me all peeple i dont like is far rite they is like nazis or somefink but Ukraine nazis is ok
I tell peeple that all these nasty other peeple is lying like Donall Trump and fings like that.
The BBC continues to refer to Hamas as ‘fighters ‘… surely it should say what it means ? It wants to say ‘Freedom Fighters ‘.
I was wondering how many formal complsints about the language has been submitted to the BBC about this – and what the outcome might be …. I can guess the BBC will hide behind some sophiftry about journalistic independence .
…meanwhile it looks like the anti Israel types are ramping up criticism of the IDF even before it has gone into Gaza … I can imagine the response when Israel really gets going at it ….
Chapter two (history)
Black peeple is all ok iss just white men iss problem they all want slaves, all white men want slaves thats all they do is slave black peeple that what they done all last hundred years or something
I wonder what “news” we will get from the bbc office in Gaza today
Chapter three (climate)
I was hot last week iss all our folt I want more windmills it will sort everything out
Chapter four (The fourth Estate)
We at bbc is only telling the truth an if you aruge wiv me i will block you on twiitter or sumfink
Chapter five (the geopolitical landscape)
Iss the jews innit ? anyone can see that they corse trubble all the time like in oxford street we told you over and over they should not show themselves, otherwise ther will be trubble
Chapter six (the stress of my job)
Iss sometimes juss two much, these trolls who don beleve what I say, sumtimes I think I might juss start another Korea
the constant gogling of wikkipeedare it take its toll you know
Okay I give in, i’ll buy a copy 🙂
Not directly the BBC
It seems the consequence of not being ‘neutral ‘ is hitting the Footy Ballers . The FA is being criticised for failing to put the Israeli flag on wem ber lee for a forthcoming international match – yet it did it for Ukraine 24 hours after the Russian invasion – and obviously continuing to kneel for a fraudulent coloured operation .
Don’t get me wrong – I think it’s right for the Israeli flag to be put up – but I’d actually prefer sport to be ‘neutral ‘ – but that horse has bolted ….
…other notable absences – the Scot’s ‘parliament ‘ objects to Israeli colonialism so won’t hoist the flag
Maybe something more tangible might be useful – such as arrests of Hamas supporters at the coming ‘protests ‘- if we don’t get hit by the inevitable suicide bombers again in londonistan …
Chapter seven (the future)
Well who would have thort it ? I can fack check Isreal now for the nex few weeks an they is all far rite
hey ho
WHY do Lefties defend women oppressors, anti Semites and LGBT Haters?
I just don,t get it.
The paradox of tolerance states that if a society is tolerant without limit, its ability to be tolerant is eventually ceased or destroyed by the intolerant. Karl Popper described it as the seemingly self-contradictory idea that in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must retain the right to be intolerant of intolerance. Popper specified that the intolerance not to be tolerated involves the refusal to engage in “rational argument”.
The BBC and Labour made a joint promo film for Young Labour
The quote tweets all call it out
Like in Israel they have the reservist army, to help protect them from the mussies
Yes we have the TA in the UK, made up of all “walks of life” – guess this will be useless in the future when the UK is fully overrun
Don’t think we in the West can consider ourselves bastions of liberty and tolerance.

The Hamas attack on Israel actually shows a level of military sophistication that the MSM are ignoring for the most part.
