    Somehow I feel the true horror is yet to come, they are in Europe already and waiting.

    As I outline previously we have whinging muslims pretending to be victims of Islamophobia who have been taken in to this country given a free education, attained a degree and full employment as a teacher yet continues over years and years in racist anti semitic attacks and nothing is done, nothing.

    And now she manages to wheedle herself onto ITV as a victim of Islamophobia whilst working for Iran media celebrating the massacre of Jewish people.

    Fury as ITV airs interview with British Palestinian woman on Islamophobia in the UK just days after she described the murder of Jews as a ‘homecoming’ on Iranian state TV and called Hamas attacks a ‘moment of triumph’

    She has been doing this for years as a teachers union member

    “CAA submits complaint against teacher and ex-union official who referred to “dirty Zionists” and made other inflammatory remarks

    Campaign Against Antisemitism has submitted a complaint against a teacher and former union official who has reportedly referred to “dirty Zionists” and made other inflammatory remarks.

    Latifa Abouchakra, who works in Ealing as a Citizenship and PHSE teacher, has reportedly shared a post on social media saying that “Zionism is not just racist and genocidal. It’s stark raving mad”; described the antisemitic terrorist and Iranian military leader Qasem Soleimani as a “hero”; and claimed that the antisemitic US Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is “considered a threat to the Zionist and Islamophobic elite in America”.

    She has also share an image of a Jewish effigy represented as the devil and a post appearing to question why the Holocaust is memorialised at the expense of other genocides. She has further reportedly described Israel as an “illegal” and “colonial” state; talked of “Zionist elites” and complained of “Zionist influence in American politics”.

    She also claimed, after a football player unveiled a Palestinian Authority flag at a match, that “Apparently the dirty Zionists have been complaining to Leicester City FC re the players showing their support for Palestine”.

    Ms Abouchakra is a former official with the National Education Union (NEU), which has itself repeatedly come under fire lately in connection with antisemitism. When asked about Ms Abouchakra, who is apparently still a member, the union reportedly said: “The NEU deplores antisemitism and all forms of racism and treats these issues very seriously. The NEU is aware of the concerns raised. This matter will be dealt with as a matter of urgency and will be looked into according to the union’s internal processes relating to member conduct.”

    Not sure how long it w ill take for the BBC and large chunks of Western Media to tumble to the truth which is that Islam is determined to rule the Globe and wipe any other sect off the map.

    They will pay lip service to multi-culturism via the stupid compliant Western media until they achieve dominance. Then anyone who doesn’t bow down will be eliminated.

    They have quite obviously planted their moles into the entire western news media in order to muzzle any opposition. The BBC alone screams that this is in fact the case. The BBC are basically too scared to report the truth already for fear of upsetting the diversity applecart which is exactly where the Islamist fundamentalists want them.

    I guess as is usual it will come down to the man in the street to eventually tackle this bloody evil virus as has always been the case.

      We have been here before …
      “A reader in Bradford recalled asking a West Yorkshire officer on the street that day why the various “Muslim community leaders” weren’t being arrested for incitement to murder. The officer said they’d been told to “play it cool”. The calls for blood got more raucous. My correspondent asked his question again. The policeman told him to “F— off, or I’ll arrest you.””

      ……………………

      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.

    A senior Israeli politician in an interview with the bBC said that “the west is next”. On this basis when the next mass terrorist outrage happens in the UK what will be the British response:

    1) We all go around in stab proof clothing
    2) We carry legal concealed weapons as per our Bill of Rights (Protestants)
    3) Internment
    4) Mass expulsions.

    It seems to me that the palestinians whining about: an illegal invasion of their country, an ethnic replacement, the closing and take over of their religious places of worship, being booted out of their own homes etc etc. All of these things are what has happened to people in the UK.

        “Some Muslims are fond of condemning western morality – alcoholism, nudity, premarital sex and homosexuality often being cited as examples. But Muslims do not have a monopoly on morality. In the west, child marriages and sex with children are illegal. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for many Muslim countries.

        I recently saw the documentary on the Dancing Boys of Afghanistan. It exposed an ancient custom called “bacha bazi” (boy for play), where rich men buy boys as young as 11 from impoverished families for sexual slavery. The boys are dressed in women’s clothes and made to dance and sing at parties, before being carted away by the men for sex. Owning boys is considered a symbol of status and one former warlord boasted of having up to 3,000 boys over a 20-year period, even though he was married, with two sons. The involvement of the police and inaction of the government means this form of child prostitution is widespread.

        The moral hypocrisy is outrageous in a country where homosexuality is not only strictly forbidden but savagely punished, even between two consenting adults. However, men who sodomise young boys are not considered homosexuals or paedophiles. The love of young boys is not a phenomenon restricted to Afghanistan; homosexual pederasty is common in neighbouring Pakistan, too. In my view, repression of sexuality and extreme gender apartheid is to blame.

        And in the Middle East, it’s young girls who are considered desirable and men are able to satisfy their lusts legally through child marriages. In Yemen, more than a quarter of girls are married before the age of 15. Cases of girls dying during childbirth are not unusual, and recently, one 12-year-old child bride even died from internal bleeding following sexual intercourse. In another case, a 12-year-old girl was married to an 80-year-old man in Saudi Arabia.”

          Bacha Bazi (‘Boy Play’) is Persian, and goes back to antiquity in the region, it was big in Istanbul and Greece (let’s be honest, Owen Jones would have been very popular in Ancient Greece, long before a certain Prophet) under the Ottomans – hence being popular holiday destinations with a certain class of wealthy European gent, back in the day. I often wonder, where exactly our notion of a ‘Greek Holiday’ originated.

          Anyway, Islam and hypocrisy. I’ve known quite a few Muslims over the years, was friends with a few back at Uni, and I’ve worked with lots, here in the UK and abroad. Most, I’ve known, have been extremely moderate in their religion, and as hypocritical when it suited them – alcohol (“It’s not wine, it’s beer!”), pork (“It’s not pork, it’s bacon!”), etc… as my Catholic Gran, who at least, bless her, had the self respect to go and confess every week – how she liked confession (especially when that handsome, young Irish priest was in the booth with her), and mass – she REALLY liked mass, especially when she was supposed to be doing something she didn’t want to.

          As an atheist, I find religious hypocrits reassuring, but there is a distinctly nasty streak of paedophilia (both homosexual and ‘straight’) which runs through both Islam and the Catholic Church. For some reason, the involvement of the Catholic Priesthood in such matters has (quite rightly, in my opinion) been brought out into the open in recent decades, whilst that within Islam has not been mentioned, and any who dare mention it seem to get silenced – strange, isn’t it?

    A 17-year-old and two 18-year-olds were arrested on suspicion of racially aggravated criminal damage and inciting racial hatred after trying to set fire to a flag stolen from outside a pub.

    Hoodrich: ‘We went from the streets to the stores’
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/business-67197321

    With a picture of a black face for the article.

    Oh I thought – finally an article about looting from the BBC.

    But no, it’s to celebrate a black ‘success story’.

    So I checked what they sell. Take a look and see if you can spot who their target audience is. One thing is for sure : it doesn’t involve a single whitey. Which would of course be racist the other way round. If you look for clothes online these days, the models are mostly black people and also – more recently – people with obvious and alarming skin defects which I think is to encourage other people with similar skin defects not to kill themselves.
    https://hoodrichuk.com/

    Here’s one of the pictures:
    318780181_178814458110376_7681292495182831780_n.jpg?_nc_cat=107&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c4dd86&_nc_ohc=AkUSvN5YckMAX8oougR&_nc_oc=AQmdt1YDfywe1wkuJjgrY0E0NfkqOOIfnRak0va2B0bwHgtVbfhJictFWNzbQHQPXug&_nc_ht=scontent.cdninstagram.com&edm=AM6HXa8EAAAA&oh=00_AfCJL9MoOB5D1764boQ1TES5pf2yGlmxwfUObaq4xFhhyw&oe=653E6A5B

    I wonder who carries a stack of £20 notes like that in their handbag. Can’t be drug dealing gang members can it ?.

    Couldn’t bring myself to watch the video : I was already itching to close the window in exasperation at what the BBC are showing today. If it’s anything other than the usual biased, racist agenda piece then let me know.

    Sir Keir Starmer to meet Labour Muslim MPs amid tensions over Gaza policy
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-67213191

    Poor old Kier. His pathetic flip-flopping to whatever position he thinks will get him credit is biting back.

    4 days after the terrorist massacre:
    ‘Sir Keir was asked whether it was “appropriate” for Israel to cut off the supply of power and water to Gaza as part of a siege of the territory.’
    ‘”I think that Israel does have that right,” he said.’

    2 weeks after the massacre after the Labour Muslims were outraged by what he said:
    “I made clear it is not and has never been my view that Israel had the right to cut off water, food, fuel or medicines. International law must be followed.”

    Even the BBC are angry with him. They are angry because he has not taken the side of the Muslims in Palestine over Israel.

    What a pathetic worm. It shows just how far gone our country is that they dare even make these demands given the circumstances.

    One thing I am 100% sure of : even if everyone give the Muslims everything they are demanding in Gaza, it will not make any difference. Their hatred of Israel is based on religion, not territory. The territory is just an excuse. Iran would continue to supply Hamas who would continue to fire rockets no matter what.

    I wonder what chances a party with the immigration policy of ‘Fit in or F*ck off’ would have at the next election. Because that’s the policy the majority of other countries in the world have.

      The Palestinians people elected an Hamas government ten or twenty years ago. ( I don’t know how free and fair these elections were) . Hamas have been the internationally recognised government of Gaza since then.
      If Hamas terrorists attacked Israel on such a large scale it can only be with the consent and full support of the Hamas leadership and hence the government of Gaza.
      It was therefore a declaration of war on Israel by Gaza. This may not be the case in international law but it certainly is in the law of common sense.

    Peter Bone: Abuse by MP left me broken, former aide says
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-67203602

    Jesus H Christ – the dirty ’empathy based’ slurring tehcnique being used to it’s full extent by the BBC.

    ‘conservative’ appears 8 times.

    ‘The BBC is not identifying the former parliamentary assistant due to the nature of the allegations.’
    How very very convenient.

    Full of statements like this:

    “It’s politics, it’s a lack of care or empathy,” he said.

    “Peter was a strong supporter of Boris Johnson… I believe it was purely self-serving. I don’t believe they thought about me.”

    A classic BBC conservative hit-job. They want to ensure Bone is found guilty. For all we know this single anonymous ‘witness’ wants to damage Bone for other reasons.

    What really stands out about this for me though is how the BBC gave the bullying little shit Bercow a completely free pass because he was Labour and was attempting to ruin Brexit by abusing his power as speaker. An abuse of power the BBC clearly approved of.

    The most disgusting of double standards. Again.

    Brought to you by the another absolutely typical BBC reporter. They all seem to be one-trick ponies who can only write ’empathy’:

        Lest we forget:

        ‘Having initially been strongly associated with the right-wing faction of his party, his views shifted; by 2007, there were rumours that he would defect to the Labour Party.’

        ‘He was re-elected unopposed at the commencements of the Parliaments in 2010, 2015 and 2017.’

        ‘In 2022, an independent Commons complaints body found Bercow to have persistently bullied staff, sworn at them over the course of more than a decade, and at one time made an undisclosed discriminatory remark. The body concluded that it would have recommended Bercow’s expulsion had he still been an MP, and that he should never be permitted a pass to the Parliamentary estate.’

        The last 2 parts are to the great shame of our ‘democracy’ which is in fact anything but. It seems anything can be overlooked if it suits the BBC and the MSM. The thug John Prescott for example – whose job it was to go round Parliament and bully people to support Blair.

    Imogen Thomas was a red labour councillor for Gaza – sorry typo – Oxford . She – and 5? Other comrades have resigned from the Labour Party because their outgoing leader is saying he supports Israel .

    Comrade Robinson didn’t have to do much to show what a useful idiot this woman is – and it’s pretty frightening to think she has control of public taxpayer Money.

    Meanwhile …. The Sec Gen of the UN no less has publicly justified the Hamas slaughter 2 weeks ago ‘it didn’t happen in a vacuum ‘ – which are words to be put on his grave stone …..

    But it made me think – can Israel pull out of the UN ? Wouid the US blackmail it to stay ? What wouid be the consequences ?
    Israel now has confirmation that the UN is against it . If the mindset at the top is like that – what about at the front line ? Is the UN in Gaza a branch of Hamas ?

    I wonder if the UN sec Gen doesn’t resign – what will Israel do ?
    And how long will the Israeli people wait for the IDF to go into Gaza …?

    I ask the questions hoping someone here might know – as I don’t …

      The detector vans weren’t fake but the actual number of them was very small I reckon – less than a handful – maybe just the ones that were filmed – paranoia was the intent , not detection. Quite possibly some fake vans out there too.

      Near every active electronic item emits some detectable radio energy. A bit of pedantry … GPS signals are beneath the the noise floor

      I recall commentary many decades ago in engineering periodicals that analog TV receivers in the UK were designed (at the behest of the authorities) to emit detectable energy to make the finding of unlicensed receivers easier (filters left out).

      Picking up (and “decoding”) the emissions of displays, keyboards and printers is old spook stuff – see Peter Wright’s Spycatcher where iirc they (MI5) listened to the clacking teleprinters in the London French Embassy.

      That said the “electrophobe cultists” will simply believe absolutely any bizzare rubbish and repeat it vehemently and interminably.

    They do say patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel – but today it is revealed that investing their own money in British companies tends to be a last resort for our politicians: MPs’ fund shuns Britian… The pension fund looking after the retirement savings of MPs and ministers invests just 1.7 per cent of its funds in UK-listed companies… (FT)

    What’s that, our present crop of parliamentarians have no confidence in the future of what our Green Card Rishi likes to term this dear old ‘economic zone’ of ours, which we prefer to call England?

    Well, you can’t blame the MPs – afterall, they’ve seen at first hand how this shit show is being run.

    Speaking of scoundrels and their overseas investments: Exclusive Mirror probe Killer Noye & the jungle millions… Riddle of ‘£40m green scheme’ based at property where Brink’s-Mat kingpin lives… Amazon Forest People… set up by his son to protect Brazil’s rainforests… (Daily Mirror, allegedly)

    We interupt this commercial and financial news with a brief interlude for a Calm Down Dear

    Britney Spears ‘I couldn’t live’ (The Times)

    I’m sure we all enjoyed the former BBC sketch show Harry and Paul’s skit on the David Dimbleby era Question Time – and some of us may even like to quote those famous Paul Whitehouse, as lefty audience member, lines: “Yes, well, firstly, if the bankers the bonuses the bankers the bonuses the bankers the bonuses it’s disgusting… and secondly, if the Tories were really serious about it they’d tax the bankers the bonuses the bankers the bonuses at 90 per cent.”

    Well, here we go again: Bankers’ bonus cap axed in bid to increase post-Brexit appeal of City (FT)

    And from the boardroom view, to the views of the man-in-a-white-van stuck in traffic behind the Clapham omnibus: Bonkers! Bankers pay boom (Daily Star)

    Fascinatingly – if you’re interested in this sort of thing – the jokey blokey Star borrows a movie still featuring Leonardo DiCaprio in The Wolf of Wall Street [2014] raising a glass of red wine to illustrate their bonkers bankers bonus feature.

    A plot not dissimilar to the Mirror’s Kenneth Noye scam (allegedy)

    What a pity the Star didn’t go a tad more literary and pick a pic from The Great Gatsby [2013] with blond DiCaprio in tuxedo toasting us with a champagn glass

    One proposes holding no candles hereabouts for the bankers: NatWest staff gloated they had ‘driven Nigel Farage out of the country’ after debanking… Former Ukip leader hits out after messages disclosed to him reveal abuse by workers who called him a ‘crackpot’ and an ‘awful human being’ (Telegraph)

    I like a cartoon. Sadly, Matt in the Telegraph is a washout today, as he goes with the theme of floods again.

    Mr AsI has to make do with some of those cartoonishly drawn illustrations of people which our news media use to colour their feature items. What do I mean? As an example think of the graphic highly simplified representations – with only the most basic recognisable attributes – that are supposed to be typical humans used to designate gents’ and ladies’ lavatories.

    The Guardian frontpage teases a feature in their G2 suppliment that’s headlined: Pillow fight! How to stop your partner sabotaging your sleep – now I say fairplay to the Gruan on this one.

    Of course I make no comment on the substance of the article but as for the comic sketch drawing representation of the couple in bed – this could so easily have been a diss on men in general. But we instead note the soundly sleeping woman has nabbed 90% of the duvet and with outstretched arms and legs is caught in the process of shoving the poor insomoniac chap sideward out of bed.

    Over to the left-leaning ‘i’ – the pound shop Guardian, if you will – where their Relationships feature: The three things couples really argue about – is illustrated with a somewhat sinister in aspect faceless cartoon pairing. The figures appear rather monumental, larger than life, almost akin to Soviet era heroic statuary.

    We know they’ve had a barney as they stand arms crossed, facing in opposite directions. But what do we discern from their recognisable characteristics? Well, she is a redhead and despite the retro style of drawing she is in trousers (natch) – aged… at least late 20s but somewhat under 40 at a guess.

    The chap, however, is drawn darker-skined, with a peculiar pure white pointy beard, moustache and side whiskers. Were it not for the brown skintone one might almost assume Christina Hendricks or Geri Halliwell (in her prime) were dating Santa. It’s only October so instead it looks as though the girl in the ‘i’ feature is in a relationship with an Empire Windrush veteran. Very odd visual messaging.

    One senses our Ukraine proxy war ain’t going too well on the ground as our regime pulls out all the stops on the propaganda front – MI6, 77th Brigade or whatever cabinet office sub-group registered as an independent company, that has the remit, buys the Daily Star frontpage story: Redbugs under the bed… Creepy Mad Vlad is planting fake news on psycho scumbag bedbugs to scare the west. It’s bad enough without your help Putin. Ya scumbag.

    Broadcast via the broadsheets: Putin does not use body double, insists Kremlin (Telegraph) – a classic of that BBC much-favoured genre of wild accusation unsubtly justified by its framing as a denial report.

    Which tempts us to mischievously inquire… borrowing that snarky journalistic tone of “Have you stopped beating your wife?

    So, Mr Putin, when will you have beaten the Ukrainians? Soon, we sense.

    Then this morning he is interviewing another black guy

    Over the past decades a new breed of chicken has been seen in Britain and many other European countries . It is known as The Enoch and always comes home to roost.

    It was obvious to anyone with half a brain, or even considerably less, that importing millions of aliens , particularly the ever troublesome Muslims, into our country was a very bad idea that would ultimately give a society wrecking reality to Enoch Powell’s vision of the ‘Tiber running with much blood’.

    The gross stupidity shown by the entire political class over such issues as transgenderism, Net Zero , inclusion, diversity and equity , is not new. It’s first exponent was Ted Heath when he expelled Enoch Powell from the Tory party for pointing out the dangers of allowing mass immigration.

      Interesting that Labour Councillors of a particular persuasion across the Country are resigning in protest about any Labour support for Israel, however small and in some instances losing Labour their majorities.

      It demonstrates to me just what the Muslim community have been quietly up to for years.

      Hence the Labour Party literally threatens this Country’s security. Be warned!

        More interesting, in a not good way, is the coordinated support from equally minority but dominant diversity hires in media.

        Surkeer gets this:

        https://x.com/BBCPolitics/status/1717088375474131364?s=20
        Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer to meet Muslim MPs as tensions grow over party’s stance on Israel-Gaza war

        Why? It’s a war nowhere near here, between two states not the U.K.

        To which BBC Newsnight person of propaganda Sima Kotecha tweets, and deletes…

        “Labour MP (who?)’ tells me this meeting is crucial because Muslims in constituencies are in danger of turning on the party as “tensions rise” over Sir Kier Starmer’s comments on LBC.

        Beyond the tweet in isolation being nonsensical other than as an internal conversation between Muslim activists in public, just think what this says about the state of politics now in this country.

        People of power and influence, if a small minority, dominate the upper echelons of the establishment, and are trying to rig life here based not on national interest but faith based community takeover.

        And are seemingly confident that, despite be a minute share of a secret ballot, can sway outcomes.

        Surkeer and the BBC have much bigger problems once this sinks in with the working majority.

          Guest,
          I agree with everything that you say but I wonder if the message will ever ‘sink in ‘ with the majority of native Brits. They, we, are bombarded 24/7with an endless stream of propaganda , the truth is routinely suppressed and they distracted with popular culture. Those who take a stance and warn about Islamification are cancelled ,imprisoned , intimidated or worse eg TR. how much does the average , politically uninterested Brit actually know ? Is it enough to rouse them from their blissful slumber and to get them to recognise the danger of the enemy in their midst? If mass rape of thousands of young girls didn’t what will?
          I worry that it isn’t enough and that by the time Brits wake up the task of expelling the invaders will be too difficult , require too much treasure , effort and blood. I hope I’m wrong.

            I too wonder.

            Especially given Surkeer and his bevvy of diversity babes, and Rach, Tess and Thick Ange, are desperate for a taste of power and will do ANYTHING to get it, including switch policies on a sixpence for a BBC politics post that gets six likes.

            In twitterwerld, an hour is a long time in politics.

            The only glimmer is there are strategists with brains bigger than the peanuts swapped along the front bench who can actually read the runes and dissect actual polling demographics.

            Certain ghettoes are lost, but running a national campaign on the overplayed shrieks from faith-based single issue fifth columnists who are in a minority, representing a minority, have got all parties to get a great country to this precipice.

            And turning it around at secret ballot time rather than via twitter campaigns, silly rallies, rigged research, petitions etc, is where the focus needs to be, with the actual working population.

            Trouble is, who is there to vote FOR?

    Mohamed Arroum has made two attempts to cross the med but was turned back each time by the Tunisian coastguard. “’I would do anything to go to Europe, and I am willing to steal cows,’ he said. ‘Europeans are living in luxury; here, we are dying.’”

    Cow stealing is just the sort of skill the UK will be looking for in key workers under the next Labour government. Give it another year and have another go, Mohamed. You’ll be welcomed with open arms.
