Our Justin interviews some Far Lefty Corbyn supporter . I’m surprised the BBC did it . It was a reminder of just how loony the red Labour Party is – and unfortunately might give hope to blue labour
In essence labour want a cease fire – I did a spell check and it comes back as ‘ surrender ‘…. – the usual soppy dumb red labour – I’m surprised the lefty didn’t say Islamic Hamas are our ‘friends ‘ to quote his boss ….
….. our Justin mentioned in passing that the programme had been trying to get red labour MPs to talk about it ..but none wouid show up – principles versus politics
Still waiting for all the by elections as half the Islamic U.K. political estate resigns. Or doesn’t.
And BBC Digital digs up hologram of Yasser Arafat for Golders Green.

This morning we encountered a woman who had removed the kidnapped posters from the bridge leading to Primrose Hill, London. When we confronted her, she replied that she was taking them down because she didn’t believe that Hamas had actually kidnapped all these people.

Thought for the day – moaning sadiqui introduced and her previous title as ‘Islamic thinker ‘ dropped – better not say ‘Islamic ‘ eh ?
The religious Background of other speakers is usually mentioned… nice bit of ‘editing ‘ bbc …
Leader of China is Chinese- the power there is held by Chinese people. No surprise- it is China. White people in a (formerly) white country are castigated if they happen to be in charge of anything- and increasingly they aren’t.

Our Tory government prove they’ve just the one go-to policy lever and inevitable outcome, whatever the international crisis: UK to charter flights for Afghan refugees stuck in Pakistan… to relocate Afghan refugees living in Pakistan who have been promised UK visas, starting on Thursday. (BBC)
In happier times Frank Skinner and David Baddiel sang Football’s Coming Home [1996] whereas the Financial Times regrets: Russians driven abroad by war start heading for home… some émigrés are returning, a sign of the degree to which the Kremlin has managed to maintain a vestige of normality in Moscow and contain some of the war’s economic shockwaves
In other words – despite (as our media likes to put it) best western efforts, both military and backfiring economic sanctions, we’re now heading for an admission of defeat on the Ukraine front.
Mr AsI has time and again over the last couple of weeks drawn attention hereabouts to the signal striking of the colours (blue and yellow) from the masthead of our Rishi lackey loyalist vessel the Daily Express.

The Express shouts a forlorn sentimental plea of a headline, worthy of the Labour-supporting Mirror: Where is the hope amidst shared grief? – given that the Express expresses the line as given from Number Ten, we speculate did Sunak just see another set of polling numbers?
So the poppies will thrive on the battlefields.
It’s a tabloid thing – poppies come out today on the mastheads of: Express; Sun: Poppy Appeal is going green… the first plastic-free poppy in more than 50 years; Star; and Mirror: We will remember – but not the 5th November: Councils across the country have cancelled their displays for Bonfire night after the price of fireworks has skyrocketed (GB News)

Mr AsI is naturally sensitive to the challenge that his intermittent feature hereabouts Calm Down Dear might be construed as somehow misogynist in tone. Perish the thought. However, in consequence – for balance (as our BBC likes to put it) – here’s a segment cautioning the chaps and calling out male overly blokeish exclaimations in the press – a feature which I’d like to call Calm Down Sir…

“TCW Defending Freedom has once again been given exclusive access to the diary of Global Boiling wunderkind Greta Thunberg. In this extract she records her recent visit to London.

Monday
I arrive in London. I use train and boat and electric scooter to save the world. I check my list. On top is word, ‘Gaza’, I check on Google.

A cracking BBC article. It has everything – right down to the complete lie that they are answering ‘our’ questions. They are answering their own, specially selected and worded questions.
‘Caroline Kelly asks: Regarding Israel’s blockade of Gaza over the last two weeks – does this mean that there is literally no water, fuel and electricity available to the people of Gaza?’
‘Mary Freeman asks: How many innocent lives need to be lost before the West calls for a ceasefire?’
Really BBC ?. Are we really supposed to believe you didn’t make up all these questions yourself ?.
JohnC from BiasedBBC asks : ‘Are Hamas keeping stockpiles of fuel and supplies for themselves while the people suffer ?’
JohnC from BiasedBBC asks : ‘Are the BBC reporting statistics from the terrorist group themselves as virtual fact and the true casualties might be much lower ?’
JohnC from BiasedBBC asks : ‘Are Hamas using civilians as human shields and causing many more casualties by not allowing innocent civilians to leave the areas under attack ?’
JohnC from BiasedBBC asks : ‘Is it right that the BBC freely use information from the terrorist group themselves to back up their reports ?. Can anything they say be trusted ?.’
The BBC are absolute masters at this type of thing. They present arguments for both sides but the underlying tone and the careful selection of what we are told push the ready to think how the BBC want them to think.
The BBC leave us with this final thought:
‘However, as Israel’s retaliatory air strikes have subsequently pummelled Gaza, causing appallingly high civilian casualties, there are growing misgivings amongst Israel’s friends that the Netanyahu government is going too far.’
Ukraine shut down the canal in 2014 soon after Russia annexed Crimea. Russia restored the flow of water in March 2022 during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. A 2015 study found that the canal had been providing 85% of Crimea’s water prior to the 2014 shutdown.
They give airtime to a chippy coloured ‘athlete’ who got stopped driving by plod – the end result is the firing of 2 plod – probably doing their job of fighting crime ( rare ) ….
Instead of saying he understood why plod stop coloured folk I ( killing each other ) he wanted the heads of the coppers and got them
So the lesson – if you are plod – don’t bother – let the coloured kids carry knifes and kill each other …..
Apparently the chippy coloured runner has started a ‘charity ?” For other coloured folk stopped by plod … and where’s the ‘compensation ‘?

I have been stopped in my car twice by police. In each case a short polite conversation was all that was needed, and I was off on my way with no drama. That would have been the case with these two, but they decided to kick off and ended up handcuffed. They made that happen.
I can see why the police prefer to monitor the internet for “hate crimes”, it’s far safer.
Me to – as a kid in the 80s I was driving fast at 3 am and was ‘chased ‘ by a police car – I didn’t stop because I thought it after someone else – when I realised I pulled over – got bagged ( no booze ) and sent on my way after checks and ‘advice ‘.

Such an admission – which to me seems perfectly true – should warrant a bit more attention .
I know I shouldn’t – but I see parallels with the IRA hiding in open view in the republic launching murderous attacks across the border – perhaps the UK government wouid have had made up international law on its’ side launching attacks in the South …but that’s academic – apart from the the dead suffering and bereathed ..

STARTS
BBC Radio 4 has lost hundreds of thousands of listeners amid a slump in the Today programme audience.
Official figures show that the flagship current affairs programme has lost around 375,000 weekday listeners since October 2022.
This has contribued to an overall shrinking in audience numbers for Radio 4, which has lost 477,000 listeners.
The BBC World Service has experienced an ever sharper drop in listeners, with its average weekly audience falling 33 per cent from 1.4 million in July-September 2021, to 940,000 in the same period in 2023.
However, the corporation saw more favourable responses to its other stations, including Radio 3, which grew its audience by 17 per cent partly thanks to a popular Proms season.
Radio 2’s audience also appears to have stabilised following the departure of the veteran broadcaster Ken Bruce.
The station had an average of 13.5 million listeners in the third quarter of the year, broadly unchanged on the previous three months, after a drop of one million from 14.5 million in January-March.
The figures come as the corporation has sought to make savings in the face of high inflation and a licence fee freeze, including plans for local radio stations to share more content and transmit fewer programmes unique to their areas.
Journalists at the BBC have taken strike action in protest against the proposals, which also include shifting some World Service TV and radio broadcast services to digital.
In its recent annual plan, the BBC stated its savings target has increased by 40 per cent to £400 million.
Charlotte Moore, the BBC’s chief content officer, said: “Radio 2 continues to be the country’s most popular station and I’m delighted with the flying start Vernon Kay has made to mid-mornings as the UK’s biggest radio show, bringing his warmth, energy and charisma to listeners up and down the country.
“We’ve had an incredible summer of music and sport with record breaking figures at the Proms reflected by Radio 3 reaching over 2 million listeners with their unique commitment to live classical broadcasts.
“The Ashes, Wimbledon, the Women’s World Cup boosted 5 Sports Extra significantly as well as delivering for 5 Live and BBC Sounds.”
Sam Jackson, the controller of BBC Radio 3, added: “It’s so encouraging to see BBC Radio 3 reaching a weekly audience of over 2 million people, with the station welcoming around 300,0000 new listeners during this period.
“We have evidently drawn in more lighter listeners this summer, and we hope those who have discovered the breadth of distinctive programming on Radio 3 will now stay with us for the longer-term.”ENDS
So it looks like R3 is the last bastion of civilisation at the BBC – they’ll soon fix that – “and now a 13 part series on African tribal music “ introduced by Lenny …..
Vernon Kay – pools versus mail order catalogue managed to lose 1.3 million listeners – all off to Ken Bruce on the commercial station …. But the BBC has no need to Learn from mistakes – the taxpayer will pay …
Dickie – thank you for providing Hamas propaganda – so it was only 339 murdered civilians – no children under 3 – so 4 years were fair game ….
Pretty poor as propaganda goes but those who want to believe it will use it ….
And Dickie … you just put a link up without comment …. Agenda ..?
Do you really need a comment to read a link? There is no agenda. I tend to look at different websites and view them with objectivity. I know it is difficult to keep one’s emotions in check but there are always two sides to any argument. As for propaganda, that goes hand in hand in any war. You have to make up your own mind what is true or not on any website. I suppose one’s opinions are made up in accordance with ones own prejudices and political beliefs.
Dickie
I just think ‘ context ‘ is just good form rather than just putting up a link . And personally – i enjoy good and bad propaganda for various reasons .
But bad propaganda like that site is disappointing. Im not a 100% supporter of israel – but i just ask an objective question – which ‘side’ would want to kill a kaffir like me ?
IMO you should remember the purpose of this website. It’s polite to at least start with ‘off topic but…’ if you are posting something not directly related to the BBC bias. And posting links without comment, mostly just get passed by for me.
There appears to be a lot of articles and comments not related to the BBC bias but also using BBC bias to include these unrelated comments and articles. I must admit I am just as guilty in doing so
G
Missing the point – I was asking that if someone puts up a ‘link’ they should at least put even a modest ‘preamble ‘ to say what we are linking to – it might be BBC related – it might not –
I’m not gonna waste time arguing it any more – just seems the decent obvious thing to do …. Sometimes this site – ugh .
Agree fed up , endless naked links here, no description, no opinion, same with YouTube videos, of peoples Influencers.
Or their whole Twitter inbox dumped into the thread without comment first thing on the morning
Its like they’re on a mission to educate us : here’s your latest lesson to read.
Good job I’m not moderator though – I’d be the only one allowed to post in the end 😀
There is enough evidence that young men within Hamas saw nothing wrong in decapitating babies in their own homes because they were Jewish. That’s plenty for me to hope they are annihilated from this World, it doesn’t need sub-humans like that.
Source of dubious ‘beheaded babies’ claim is Israeli settler leader who incited riots to ‘wipe out’ Palestinian village. After an Israeli reserve soldier named David Ben Zion told a reporter Palestinian militants “cut [off] heads of babies,” Biden, Netanyahu, and the international media amplified the dubious claim.
The Grayzone has identified Ben Zion as a fanatical settler leader who incited riots by demanding a Palestinian town be “wiped out.”
Does the article not fit the narrative you wish to follow or believe. Don’t believe I have ever mentioned supporting Hamas. I support neither Hamas or the IDF but do have compassion for both Israeli and Palestinian innocents caught up in a nightmarish situation. I have nothing to be ashamed of. Suggest you search your conscience and also do some historical research with regard to the Israeli/Palestine conflict.
Suggest you remember that the Palestinians elected Hamas as their government knowing full well that Hamas’s principal aim was the destruction of Israel. The Israelis have every right to go after Hamas and because Hamas hide amongst the civilians in Gaza there are going to be many deaths . But the Palestinians knew this was likely to happen when they voted for Hamas. They can’t claim to be innocents caught up in a war that was none of their making!
Ah, so by your reckoning, every man, woman and child in Gaza deserve to die irrespective of who they voted for.
I’m constantly in awe of more and more Palestinians refusing misleading framings from mainstream media. This @Yaraeid_ interview on Sky News is an absolute must-see. pic.twitter.com/xGgUWQlfft
So are you suggesting that Israel ought not attack Gaza because although the majority of Gaza’s voted Hamas into power some didn’t vote that way. The logical conclusion of you argument is that if only one Palestinian didn’t vote for Hamas Israel can’t attack in case they harm this single innocent person.
Hiram Johnson (1866-1945) – a Progressive Republican senator in California. His actual quote, ‘The first casualty, when war comes, is truth’, was said during World War 1. He died on Aug. 6, 1945, the day the United States dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima.
‘The lifeless bodies of children pulled from the rubble. The tents filled with the dead wrapped in white shrouds. Buildings flattened by the devastating force of air strikes. Mahmoud Badawi has seen humanity blasted, burned and broken.’
‘As night comes there is a lull in the bombing. Mahmoud pauses and stands between his ambulance and a pile of rubble. He is holding a stretcher in his left hand, waiting for the next emergency. The adrenaline has subsided. He is briefly motionless and his eyes look off into the distance. They are filled with sadness for all he has seen.’
Not even remotely ‘journalism’. It’s 100% empathy and agenda based story-telling to pull at the heartstrings.
The BBC are unable to write anything to defend the monsters in Hamas, though they try desperately (see the extend of the reporting when the hostage woman touched the hand of the terrorist) so they are doing what they always do in these situations:
They are ignoring the real story completely and are focussing on the consequences. And milking them for every ounce of empathy they can. There is nothing in this article to indicate why specific places are being bombed. Are Hamas in there ?. Are they using civilians as human shields ?. Are Hamas really hoarding fuel ?. It’s lies by omission of the worst kind.
It’s clear the BBC simply want government to apply pressure to stop Israel attacking Gaza. But what then ?. Do they think for one minute Hamas will just give up and everyone will love each other ?.
The bottom line here is that Israel must go in and destroy all the infrastucture which allowed Hamas to launch their recent massacre. That means going in on the ground, finding all the tunnels and destroying them. There is no other possible option.
All the BBC are doing with articles like this is stoking hatred of Israel. If they were actually critical of the TERRORIST organisation for being the cause of these tragedies, perhaps they would be less inclined to fight so hard. Instead the BBC are actively trying to create support for the group by bringing Israel down.
They are making the involvement of other Arab states far mor elikely by implicitly showing this support. But then what difference is the blood of countless thousands more on their hands ?. They are already soaked.
The UN are reporting (on the bBC world service – so it must be true) that they will no longer be able to operate in gaza because of fuel shortages.
Since the UN are one of the biggest pushers of ‘climate change’ and would naturally lead by example then surely:
All truck deliveries would be via magic carpet
Medical supplies dropped by donkey assisted para-glider.
All their doctors and nurses would cycle
End-to-end gaza is only 50km
A bicycle ambulance would only take 2 hours worst case
This means that a UN bicycle ambulance would get to help bomb victims about 2 hours quicker than an ambulance in the UK.
The more I think about the issue of Gaza the more I realise that the self destructive Jews in the state are running the risk of destroying the entire country.
I believe the US are preventing Israel from total self destruction which its ruling elite doesn’t even appear to be able to see.
Whilst I absolutely believe that Israel does have the right to defend itself, it does not have the right to murder anyone who happens to be in a place nor do I believe collective punishment is a right Israel has either.
I don’t particularly want to die in a nuclear holocaust because 1500 Jews happened to be slaughtered because their own incompetent government and military were too busy infighting and following crazed Eastern European imports with uncompromising religious beliefs.
To make matters worse Israels flattening of Gaza by bombing and artillery has made the job of clearing out Hamas even more difficult and there are reports that US and Israeli special forces who entered Gaza have come under heavy fire, with multiple casualties and some deaths.
It gets worse though, because thanks to the insane open borders policies of the Socialists, Islamist terror cells are now able to bring the fight right into the heart of most major Western cities. Biden calls them ‘Dreamers’ because they dream of slaughtering millions of Khuffar.
There are rumours that Socialists in the Israeli military senior ranks refused to implement defence procedures because they didn’t like Nettenyahu, and we don’t know whether this is true or not, however we do know Socialists destroy everything they come into contact with, it wouldn’t be a surprise to find they destroyed Israel too.
Hamas have embedded themselves *behind* the Gazan population.
I feel you’re correct in pointing a finger at the prescriptive religious zealot socialists… to be clear, I feel that doctrinaire socialists are are indistinguishable from any zany religious group out there and they, as a bloc are absolutely making things a whole lot worse.
The problem is Thoughtful that Israel have to go in and destroy the tunnels.
They are not collectively punishing the people of Gaza, they are reducing the threat from Hamas as much as they can before they go in on the ground. It’s standard practise. I don’t believe for one second that Israel are deliberately targetting civilians just for revenge.
The fact that Hamas are using civilians as human shields is what should be upsetting you. They WANT headlines of civilians deaths because they want the full support of all the other Muslim countries as well as reducing the support from the West.
Luckily for them the MSM is infested by the Left now and they are happily going along with it. The BBC are reporting the casualties they are told about by Hamas without question and are deliberately avoiding telling us about WHY certain places are being hit – or even where they are. The reports by Bowen can barely conceal his complete anti-semetic bias now. He is full of spite.
And I would be FAR more worried about a nuclear holocaust from Ukraine than Gaza. Even if Iran do use one on Israel, the USA will convince Israel not to retalliate and Iran will be very quickly and ruthlessly neutralised as a threat and invaded.
And I’m sure the BBC will support Iran while it happens.
Regime change in Iran will solve numerous problems.
Good for the Iranians who have had several attempts to remove the current regime.
Good for Israel as it it cuts the legs of Hamas and Hezbollah and leads to their demise
Good for Palestinians because it’s a pre cursor of peace and prosperity
Good for the entire West as it removes the threat of a nuclear armed Iran run by madmen.
The West must find ways to assist the people of Iran in remove their lunatic government.
I was vexed after 1979 and the ayatollah-when I saw him going back to Iran from France ? I thought ‘dead man walking ‘ – yet on he carried .
Then I couldn’t understand why the US didn’t ’deal with ‘ Iran – especially after 9/11 when it could have done what it wanted … presumably oil interests bought the day ….
Due to the painful history – I wonder if the Israelis will use gas for the tunnels – or is that what Islamic Hamas wants ? Especially with 200 plus hostages down in them …. Apologies for that idea but apart from digging those tunnels up – is there a less dangerous way …?
The only ways(s) I could imagine to have small chance of preserving hostages will be non lethal gas or in person.
That said, that chance is minimal. Even a sleepy nut job can rig an IED or off the poor sod they have beside them at the end to make British lady joins jump for more joy.
Hence the taking of hostages being a violation of just about anything largely ignored by the bleating hearts.
It’s an ideal environment for some kind of remote controlled truck to go along with a shotgun on the front. Plus I imagine Israel have some kind of ground-radar which might let them track it from one entrance to another. I am assuming Israel have invested a lot in anti-tunnel warfare by now.
I’m absolutely sure Hamas want the bodies of hostage to be dug out of them on camera – and the BBC will tell us how terrible it is. But not why it happened.
When you build a hen house you normally dig down to make the fence deeper to prevent the fox digging under it. There’s no good reason why Israel cannot do the same and very sensitive sensors exist to detect any untoward activity.
Having said that the Israelis knew this attack was coming 3 days prior because Egypt warned them, their own intelligence warned them and yet they did nothing, so all the defence in the world is pointless if the military disregard it.
I’m not at all worried about Ukraine provoking a nulear response as Russia has all buy wiped the Ukrainian army off the map, and if the West doesn’t stop sending long range missiles Russia is likely to take the lot.
The Middle East is not the place it was last time Israel had an issue in Gaza. This time they are much better armed and there are far more countries involved.
Iran has reportedly recruited 3 million Jihadi fighters it has sent into Jordan and that’s a lot of fanatical lunatics you need to kill in order to stop them.
Turkey has made noises about a military invasion, and they have the largest army in Nato with over 800K active and reserve personnel.
Hezbollah has more rockets than all of Europe combined that’s important because they have realised you only need send fireworks up for the patriot and iron dome system to run out of ammunition and require reloading, then they can be targetted with the real ones and destroyed.
Israel needs to play a game and take the threat seriously which it has failed to do up ’til now.
The method is a simple one, to allow water power and aid to flow into Gaza. Not doing so is a war crime and that upsets even people like me who believe Hamas are a dangerous threat.
Then stop the counter productive barrage from stand off weapons which flatten peoples homes and make it more difficult and dangerous to fight through.
Find the tunnels and deal with them, because flattening a tower block probably isn’t going to do that for you.
Finally start treating the people Gaza a bit better because that way they probably won’t tolerate Hamas threatening that, and they won’t be complaining to their Arab neighbours so much.
Business as usual @BBC. As if there aren't any Israeli hostages held by Hamas, and as if Hamas isn't responsible for the life of Gazans. 8 minutes of blaming israel for everything wrong in Gaza, without mentioning Hamas. Not productive. pic.twitter.com/LVyFg2wpND
The jab is the ‘Sword of the Devil’. The ‘Sword of the Devil’ pierces the heart causing myocarditis. The sword of the Spirit can block any word that the devil sends at us. All we have to do is use it. Is that not what Jesus did when the devil tempted Him? Repeatedly He said, “It is written!” If the Word Himself would so use the written Word, how much more should we? What negative words have been spoken over you? Words like: “You’ll kill Granny. You’re going to die of Covid like your parent,” etc. You need to immediately take up the sword of the Spirit against these swords of the devil and drive them back. They will only be true prophecies if you do not resist them. Our hearts should be pierced with the reality that “He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities”. When God’s Word pierces the heart of hearers, it results in either conviction and contrition, or contrary callousness. Only the Word of God can penetrate and pierce the heart.
“The Israel Defense Forces have released a small video including drones, of the raid last night, in which you can see the massive, fearsome bulldozers called D9s in action.”
TalkTV Rafe Hankoo-Mankel pointing out a double standard
He gave a long list of occasions when there had been thousands of Muslim deaths caused by their own governments or neighbouring ones
eg in Syria, in Iran, in Yemen, in China
There are huge hatey demos in the UK about those deaths
but when there is a defensive violence by Israel hundreds of thousand take to the streets
Action by Muslim govt gets no protest
Action by non-Muslim Jewish based govt get huge outrage
… that is effectively racism ..
There is no such thing as ‘racism’ Stew, thanks for making that clear again for us.
People are not understanding at all what is going on, primarily because they need everything reduced to the lowest common denominator, black and white, good and evil, right and wrong.
The situation is of course nuanced and it works like this. Everyone in the Middle East hates everyone else with a burning passion. the Iranians hate just about everyone and everyone hates them, the Saudis hate the Omanis as do several other Arab states aand well, you get the picture. Pretty much all the Arab states including Iran hates the Palestinians and want nothing to do with them, especially allowing any into their country, but, there is one country they all can agree about hating and that’s Israel.
Israel exists in a kind of “well we don’t want it to be there but it is”, and whilst countries like Egypt and Jordan which are on reasonable terms and Saudi which is accepting the existance of the state, the people in these countries are far less tolerant, and might well overthrow their rulers.
In the past Israel was militarily strong, but it has allowed self destructive left wing Jews to enter the country with the crazed ideas of ‘diversity, equality, and tolerance’ which have weakened the state.
Now the Muslim world unites against Israel, they see Socialism has weakened the country and divided it against itself and a house with diversity cannot stand, so now they can smell blood and they only need that spark to light a fire that could consume the whole world.
Israel needs to take very great care not to give a reason for these tinder boxes to ignite, and I don’t think Nettanyahu can contain his bloodlust, he is a man of violence who believes every problem can be solved by violence, he is also a blinkered fool who cannot see the peril his actions are putting his country in, and it is taking much wiser men to hold him back before his actions destroy the entire country.
Tomo i go through various emotions with BBC output . I feel insulted by the desperation of the approved message -All The Time . Amused by the sheer ineptitude of their attempts to brainwash me – annoyed at the assumption that they are cleverer than their inferior audience
And Sad that people still pay for it .
Im frightened about the indoctrination of the young…
As for jehovah witnesses . 2 knocked on my door once . I debated scripture with them so long they had to go. Made my sad day …
… so you’re saying that JWs are more credible than the BBC?
= at least they engage in discussion!
I did the Darwinism thing with them that confused them so much that they sent out for reinforcements and after 30 minutes or so (a polite audience of 6!) I tired and they agreed a truce and toddled off….
I could’ve started a sect
The BBC’s ideological assaults on children are inexcusable at best.
The original Charter identified Hamas as the Muslim Brotherhood in Palestine and declares its members to be Muslims who “fear God and raise the banner of Jihad in the face of the oppressors.”

Exposed: Labour’s arms link
Diane Taylor
Sun 20 Feb 2000 00.59 GMT
Tony Blair’s administration was last night accused of hypocrisy over its ethical foreign policy when a new report revealed that the Labour Party has substantial share stakes in major arms manufacturers.
Labour holds shares in what is now BAe, the company which sold Hawk jets to Indonesia and Zimbabwe and has done business with Saddam Hussein, Augusto Pinochet and former Indonesian President Suharto.
This is what happens when politically biased authoritarians take control…
I look back with nostalgia when England was a free country and an Englishman’s home was his castle. Now you can say something that upsets some “protected” group and a busload of coppers will barge into your gaff and take away what ever they like. And these days you can be fined for…standing…
She isn’t actually doing anything. No placards, she hasn’t approached anyone. No megaphone…zilch…She’s getting a ticket for…standing…
FFS, the useless bloody coppers are standing “in the zone.”
Give them tickets.
Meanwhile, not far away, a mob of Muzzies are screaming “Kill the Jews”. And what do our useless, gutless police do?
“Nothing is efficient in Oceania except the Thought Police,” as the Thinkpol is the only apparatus that must function effectively for the Party to retain control.”
Electricity prices ‘must rise by 70pc to pay for more wind farms’
Warning from UK’s biggest energy generator comes after latest bidding round received no offers to build new farms
“A UK government auction has secured a record 11 gigawatts (GW) of new renewable energy capacity that will generate electricity nine times more cheaply than current gas prices.
The projects are all due to start operating within the next five years up to 2026/27 and have agreed to generate electricity for an average price of £48 per megawatt hour (MWh) in today’s money. This is nine times cheaper than the £446/MWh current cost of running gas-fired power stations.”
I’d add for clarity that all sides in war play a version of this game.

It was if they were re-enacting Grand Theft Auto video game in real life
“Jesus Ayala, 18, and Jzamir Keys, 16, were indicted by a grand jury for an hours-long crime spree where they allegedly stole multiple cars, intentionally hit another driver’s car, and struck two bicyclists in separate incidents, killing a former California police chief.”
Deliberately driving cars at people is an easy thing to do
“Fires will be kindled ….” – no quite what the Italians had in mind.
Meloni quoting Chesterton

Meloni talks a great game. She’s full of passion and we all want to believe in her, but what is she actually doing? Nothing…
We’ve had some wonderful windbags in our parliament, giving all sorts of promises. Remember the pledge to cut immigration to the tens of thousands? What was Priti going to do? And now we have Suella. Same old meaningless rhetoric.
@tomo – The brave woman is remonstrating with him. But she’d better be careful. The way he’s waving that knife in her face, the cat might be just the starter, and she could be the entrée.
TWatO Watch #1 – the IDF and Hamas, more gullibles travels from the BBC
The BBC, I think, believe everything a Palestinian from Gaza tells them and everything a Hamas spokesman says. The latest line from a Hamas that the October 7th attack was a military operation against military targets was at least questioned by Sarah but she didn’t get into TOADY-mode and talk over the spokesperson or question repeatedly about the civilians killed in their homes, the civilians killed at a music festival or the civilian hostages taken into the tunnels of Gaza.
The BBC, of course, accept without question that a one year old baby in the south of Gaza was killed by a bomb from an Israeli Airforce aircraft.
BBC disinformation and social media correspondent
In the opening days of the Israel-Gaza war two small boys, both aged four, were killed. One was Israeli, one Palestinian. But many posts I saw on social media weren’t mourning their deaths – instead, they were trying to deny the killings had taken place.
But when I read the comments below – while there were many speaking of the terrible shock and offering support – there were others I had not expected to find. …..
Is it because vaccinated individuals don’t live long enough to develop dementia?
A friend of mine in the medical profession (research, not practitioner) reports that she’s seeing a lot of material pushing for a single mRNA vaccine that ‘protects’ against ‘flu, Covid and other respiratory diseases is all that will be available in a couple of years time.
It’s probably obvious to most readers here, but a penny dropped while I was listening to an interview with a former senior policeman on Talk TV or GB News (I forget which).
Asked about why the police were now such woke, politicised morons, he stated 2 facts.
First, that in his day many of the top policemen were ex-military. Today, none.
Secondly, that today most police are recruited as students.
Students, as we know, are almost all indoctrinated woke morons.
Together, those 2 simple facts explain a lot, though there are other factors of course, such as pusillanimous leadership from government, and our awful Mayor Khant.
Sluff, that’s where I heard it but I suspect that if the Israelis were really ‘carpet bombing’ Gaza then there would be nothing left.
At all.
But then there are all those Israeli hostages in the tunnels under Gaza. That that rather casts doubt on the veracity of the Palestinian claim about carpet bombing.
Off topic (in case you read this by mistake Loobyloo)
I can’t understand all these people telling Israel to step back and not do anything because some civilians will be killed.
Does that mean they should just let Hamas pop over the border any time they want to carry out their Stone Age slaughter knowing that Israel will not do anything.
Is it ok to send over thousands of rockets but Israel cannot do anything because there are civilians where they launch the rockets.
Imagine in WW2 if we had not fought back against Hitler in case some Germans got hurt. We would all be speaking German for a start.
They say Israel can take action against Hamas but they don’t say what.
It’s like Shylock getting his pound of flesh so long as there’s not a drop of blood in it.
The way Israel has been treated by these very low IQ savages should allow Israel to do absolutely anything to stop it happening again. Maybe like the Allies bombing Germany or the Americans bombing Japan (if Iran doesn’t wind its neck in)
In a microcosm, this is like a woman who believes she can hit, punch, kick and bludgeon a man nearly to death. Then claim she is entitled to be treated as a lady if he dares to hit her back in self- defence.
The call for Israel to withhold reprisal is a device of conquest. If Israel can be neutralised, the middle east is a big step closer to being entirely Islamified.
They say Israel can take action against Hamas but they don’t say what.
That ‘they’ encompasses a worryingly significant number of folk; many who should know better, and likely do, but are utter opportunist scum.
I hate analogies but was giving this some thought.
Back in the day in the ‘hood it was all a bit up in the air after a bit of a global shindig, and despite the really bad guys being dealt with a few times there were a bunch of loose ends knocking about. So the victors did their best to resolve these, but were frankly pretty worn out and hardly on top of their game.
So… some folks ended up being made neighbours in spite of a raft of geographical, historical and sky fairy stuff unresolved.
One lot, imperfect as some in the West can also be, at least got on with their bit and did a rather good job of turning a barren wasteland into an enviable area.
Others around were a mixed cauldron of greed, envy and intolerance, so this just wouldn’t do, so they decided to get it all.
Went badly, well, badly, back and forth until the lot rather surrounded ended up with more than before. And a few thorns in their side, militarily, in defensive terms.
So the neighbourhood was never as such ‘safe’.
Then one little outpost was allowed to pull a bunch of stunts to make it a lot less safer all round.
Now, if you have had to put up with the guys next door lobbing stuff in the garden trying to kill your kids, with no more than a ‘tut tut’ from the council and govt, you might be feeling a bit under the hammer.
They send their teens over to slaughter your wives, kids and grannies that might just be the giddy limit.
But sending the lads back over is problematic, as their lads are hiding behind their younger siblings, all controlled by grandads in other countries, egged on by doe-eyed charmers in media… in other countries.
So.. what to do? Damed if you do nothing. Damned if you do the least worst thing to stop more of your kids and nannies getting killed.
You bite the bullet and flatten the place by remote.
And ignore the weasels everywhere but at your gaff ignoring their BFFs are still lobbing murder, death, kill stuff at you, still cranking out human shield material at a local commissar required rate, and still not asking the guys in supposed charge to stop poking the next door family.
I watched Sophie Ridge’s interview with Tom Hunt MP. Like so many of the media class, they’re hardwired to react — Pavlov style — to certain undesirable insights and observations. In this case Sophie’s brain can’t process the raw experience of people all over the UK, so her programming kicks in with “do you have the data to back that up?” Like we’ve seen throughout C19, there’s nothing like a dubious government statistic or a shonky pie chart to negate all personal experience when an agenda is at stake. That’s typically enough to satisfy the media blob, who have a childlike trust in official sources so long as they’re part of the right in-group.
If we’re being technical, ‘lived experience’ doesn’t meet the requirements for data either — but this applies to special interest groups so of course it gets a free pass and remains impervious to further scrutiny.
If she wants to come to my bit of London I can give her data by the bucketload. In 5 years it’s gone from an already diverse area to a duoculture (east European/Arabic) where you’ll be hard pressed to hear English more than 10% of the time.
Region Total population Population change (2011-2021) Population per km2 % BME % not UK-born
London sub-region:
Central 1,408,700 0.30% 10,936 43% 44%

Rest of England 47,739,800 5.90% 371 14% 13%
Immigration at these levels and for the intended purpose of forced demographic and cultural change is a crime of gross proportions. Our human rights have been violated over [at least] a generation.

Maintaining a vestige of normality edition
Our Tory government prove they’ve just the one go-to policy lever and inevitable outcome, whatever the international crisis: UK to charter flights for Afghan refugees stuck in Pakistan… to relocate Afghan refugees living in Pakistan who have been promised UK visas, starting on Thursday. (BBC)
In happier times Frank Skinner and David Baddiel sang Football’s Coming Home [1996] whereas the Financial Times regrets: Russians driven abroad by war start heading for home… some émigrés are returning, a sign of the degree to which the Kremlin has managed to maintain a vestige of normality in Moscow and contain some of the war’s economic shockwaves
In other words – despite (as our media likes to put it) best western efforts, both military and backfiring economic sanctions, we’re now heading for an admission of defeat on the Ukraine front.
Mr AsI has time and again over the last couple of weeks drawn attention hereabouts to the signal striking of the colours (blue and yellow) from the masthead of our Rishi lackey loyalist vessel the Daily Express.
A quick glance at the latest scores coming in over the teleprinter – Afghanistan defeat… Syria defeat…Ukraine… going into extra time… Gaza match temporarily delayed due to crowd trouble
The Express shouts a forlorn sentimental plea of a headline, worthy of the Labour-supporting Mirror: Where is the hope amidst shared grief? – given that the Express expresses the line as given from Number Ten, we speculate did Sunak just see another set of polling numbers?
So the poppies will thrive on the battlefields.
It’s a tabloid thing – poppies come out today on the mastheads of: Express; Sun: Poppy Appeal is going green… the first plastic-free poppy in more than 50 years; Star; and Mirror: We will remember – but not the 5th November: Councils across the country have cancelled their displays for Bonfire night after the price of fireworks has skyrocketed (GB News)
Famously, black Italian mercenary footballer, Mario Balotelli, once let off fireworks in his bathroom: Inside Mario Balotelli’s burnt out Cheshire mansion after THAT firework disaster caused £400,000 of damage (Daily Mail); Mario Balotelli’s house set on fire as he shoots fireworks from window (Guardian) – careful, son, the Israelis might target you for that

Week 3: BBC correspondents answer your questions on the conflict between Israel and Hamas
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-67201107
A cracking BBC article. It has everything – right down to the complete lie that they are answering ‘our’ questions. They are answering their own, specially selected and worded questions.
‘Caroline Kelly asks: Regarding Israel’s blockade of Gaza over the last two weeks – does this mean that there is literally no water, fuel and electricity available to the people of Gaza?’
‘Mary Freeman asks: How many innocent lives need to be lost before the West calls for a ceasefire?’
Really BBC ?. Are we really supposed to believe you didn’t make up all these questions yourself ?.
JohnC from BiasedBBC asks : ‘Are Hamas keeping stockpiles of fuel and supplies for themselves while the people suffer ?’
JohnC from BiasedBBC asks : ‘Are the BBC reporting statistics from the terrorist group themselves as virtual fact and the true casualties might be much lower ?’
JohnC from BiasedBBC asks : ‘Are Hamas using civilians as human shields and causing many more casualties by not allowing innocent civilians to leave the areas under attack ?’
JohnC from BiasedBBC asks : ‘Is it right that the BBC freely use information from the terrorist group themselves to back up their reports ?. Can anything they say be trusted ?.’
The BBC are absolute masters at this type of thing. They present arguments for both sides but the underlying tone and the careful selection of what we are told push the ready to think how the BBC want them to think.
The BBC leave us with this final thought:
‘However, as Israel’s retaliatory air strikes have subsequently pummelled Gaza, causing appallingly high civilian casualties, there are growing misgivings amongst Israel’s friends that the Netanyahu government is going too far.’

STARTS
BBC Radio 4 has lost hundreds of thousands of listeners amid a slump in the Today programme audience.
Official figures show that the flagship current affairs programme has lost around 375,000 weekday listeners since October 2022.
This has contribued to an overall shrinking in audience numbers for Radio 4, which has lost 477,000 listeners.
The BBC World Service has experienced an ever sharper drop in listeners, with its average weekly audience falling 33 per cent from 1.4 million in July-September 2021, to 940,000 in the same period in 2023.
However, the corporation saw more favourable responses to its other stations, including Radio 3, which grew its audience by 17 per cent partly thanks to a popular Proms season.
Radio 2’s audience also appears to have stabilised following the departure of the veteran broadcaster Ken Bruce.
The station had an average of 13.5 million listeners in the third quarter of the year, broadly unchanged on the previous three months, after a drop of one million from 14.5 million in January-March.
The figures come as the corporation has sought to make savings in the face of high inflation and a licence fee freeze, including plans for local radio stations to share more content and transmit fewer programmes unique to their areas.
Journalists at the BBC have taken strike action in protest against the proposals, which also include shifting some World Service TV and radio broadcast services to digital.
In its recent annual plan, the BBC stated its savings target has increased by 40 per cent to £400 million.
Charlotte Moore, the BBC’s chief content officer, said: “Radio 2 continues to be the country’s most popular station and I’m delighted with the flying start Vernon Kay has made to mid-mornings as the UK’s biggest radio show, bringing his warmth, energy and charisma to listeners up and down the country.
“We’ve had an incredible summer of music and sport with record breaking figures at the Proms reflected by Radio 3 reaching over 2 million listeners with their unique commitment to live classical broadcasts.
“The Ashes, Wimbledon, the Women’s World Cup boosted 5 Sports Extra significantly as well as delivering for 5 Live and BBC Sounds.”
Sam Jackson, the controller of BBC Radio 3, added: “It’s so encouraging to see BBC Radio 3 reaching a weekly audience of over 2 million people, with the station welcoming around 300,0000 new listeners during this period.
“We have evidently drawn in more lighter listeners this summer, and we hope those who have discovered the breadth of distinctive programming on Radio 3 will now stay with us for the longer-term.”ENDS
So it looks like R3 is the last bastion of civilisation at the BBC – they’ll soon fix that – “and now a 13 part series on African tribal music “ introduced by Lenny …..

Do you really need a comment to read a link? There is no agenda. I tend to look at different websites and view them with objectivity. I know it is difficult to keep one’s emotions in check but there are always two sides to any argument. As for propaganda, that goes hand in hand in any war. You have to make up your own mind what is true or not on any website. I suppose one’s opinions are made up in accordance with ones own prejudices and political beliefs.

Source of dubious ‘beheaded babies’ claim is Israeli settler leader who incited riots to ‘wipe out’ Palestinian village. After an Israeli reserve soldier named David Ben Zion told a reporter Palestinian militants “cut [off] heads of babies,” Biden, Netanyahu, and the international media amplified the dubious claim.
The Grayzone has identified Ben Zion as a fanatical settler leader who incited riots by demanding a Palestinian town be “wiped out.”

Suggest you remember that the Palestinians elected Hamas as their government knowing full well that Hamas’s principal aim was the destruction of Israel. The Israelis have every right to go after Hamas and because Hamas hide amongst the civilians in Gaza there are going to be many deaths . But the Palestinians knew this was likely to happen when they voted for Hamas. They can’t claim to be innocents caught up in a war that was none of their making!

So are you suggesting that Israel ought not attack Gaza because although the majority of Gaza’s voted Hamas into power some didn’t vote that way. The logical conclusion of you argument is that if only one Palestinian didn’t vote for Hamas Israel can’t attack in case they harm this single innocent person.

Humanity blasted and broken: Gaza through a medic’s eyes
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-67223273
‘The lifeless bodies of children pulled from the rubble. The tents filled with the dead wrapped in white shrouds. Buildings flattened by the devastating force of air strikes. Mahmoud Badawi has seen humanity blasted, burned and broken.’
‘As night comes there is a lull in the bombing. Mahmoud pauses and stands between his ambulance and a pile of rubble. He is holding a stretcher in his left hand, waiting for the next emergency. The adrenaline has subsided. He is briefly motionless and his eyes look off into the distance. They are filled with sadness for all he has seen.’
Not even remotely ‘journalism’. It’s 100% empathy and agenda based story-telling to pull at the heartstrings.
The BBC are unable to write anything to defend the monsters in Hamas, though they try desperately (see the extend of the reporting when the hostage woman touched the hand of the terrorist) so they are doing what they always do in these situations:
They are ignoring the real story completely and are focussing on the consequences. And milking them for every ounce of empathy they can. There is nothing in this article to indicate why specific places are being bombed. Are Hamas in there ?. Are they using civilians as human shields ?. Are Hamas really hoarding fuel ?. It’s lies by omission of the worst kind.
It’s clear the BBC simply want government to apply pressure to stop Israel attacking Gaza. But what then ?. Do they think for one minute Hamas will just give up and everyone will love each other ?.
The bottom line here is that Israel must go in and destroy all the infrastucture which allowed Hamas to launch their recent massacre. That means going in on the ground, finding all the tunnels and destroying them. There is no other possible option.
All the BBC are doing with articles like this is stoking hatred of Israel. If they were actually critical of the TERRORIST organisation for being the cause of these tragedies, perhaps they would be less inclined to fight so hard. Instead the BBC are actively trying to create support for the group by bringing Israel down.
They are making the involvement of other Arab states far mor elikely by implicitly showing this support. But then what difference is the blood of countless thousands more on their hands ?. They are already soaked.

The UN are reporting (on the bBC world service – so it must be true) that they will no longer be able to operate in gaza because of fuel shortages.
Since the UN are one of the biggest pushers of ‘climate change’ and would naturally lead by example then surely:
All truck deliveries would be via magic carpet
Medical supplies dropped by donkey assisted para-glider.
All their doctors and nurses would cycle
End-to-end gaza is only 50km
A bicycle ambulance would only take 2 hours worst case
This means that a UN bicycle ambulance would get to help bomb victims about 2 hours quicker than an ambulance in the UK.

The more I think about the issue of Gaza the more I realise that the self destructive Jews in the state are running the risk of destroying the entire country.
I believe the US are preventing Israel from total self destruction which its ruling elite doesn’t even appear to be able to see.
Whilst I absolutely believe that Israel does have the right to defend itself, it does not have the right to murder anyone who happens to be in a place nor do I believe collective punishment is a right Israel has either.
I don’t particularly want to die in a nuclear holocaust because 1500 Jews happened to be slaughtered because their own incompetent government and military were too busy infighting and following crazed Eastern European imports with uncompromising religious beliefs.
To make matters worse Israels flattening of Gaza by bombing and artillery has made the job of clearing out Hamas even more difficult and there are reports that US and Israeli special forces who entered Gaza have come under heavy fire, with multiple casualties and some deaths.
It gets worse though, because thanks to the insane open borders policies of the Socialists, Islamist terror cells are now able to bring the fight right into the heart of most major Western cities. Biden calls them ‘Dreamers’ because they dream of slaughtering millions of Khuffar.
There are rumours that Socialists in the Israeli military senior ranks refused to implement defence procedures because they didn’t like Nettenyahu, and we don’t know whether this is true or not, however we do know Socialists destroy everything they come into contact with, it wouldn’t be a surprise to find they destroyed Israel too.

The problem is Thoughtful that Israel have to go in and destroy the tunnels.
They are not collectively punishing the people of Gaza, they are reducing the threat from Hamas as much as they can before they go in on the ground. It’s standard practise. I don’t believe for one second that Israel are deliberately targetting civilians just for revenge.
The fact that Hamas are using civilians as human shields is what should be upsetting you. They WANT headlines of civilians deaths because they want the full support of all the other Muslim countries as well as reducing the support from the West.
Luckily for them the MSM is infested by the Left now and they are happily going along with it. The BBC are reporting the casualties they are told about by Hamas without question and are deliberately avoiding telling us about WHY certain places are being hit – or even where they are. The reports by Bowen can barely conceal his complete anti-semetic bias now. He is full of spite.
And I would be FAR more worried about a nuclear holocaust from Ukraine than Gaza. Even if Iran do use one on Israel, the USA will convince Israel not to retalliate and Iran will be very quickly and ruthlessly neutralised as a threat and invaded.
And I’m sure the BBC will support Iran while it happens.

The only ways(s) I could imagine to have small chance of preserving hostages will be non lethal gas or in person.
That said, that chance is minimal. Even a sleepy nut job can rig an IED or off the poor sod they have beside them at the end to make British lady joins jump for more joy.
Hence the taking of hostages being a violation of just about anything largely ignored by the bleating hearts.

It’s an ideal environment for some kind of remote controlled truck to go along with a shotgun on the front. Plus I imagine Israel have some kind of ground-radar which might let them track it from one entrance to another. I am assuming Israel have invested a lot in anti-tunnel warfare by now.
I’m absolutely sure Hamas want the bodies of hostage to be dug out of them on camera – and the BBC will tell us how terrible it is. But not why it happened.

When you build a hen house you normally dig down to make the fence deeper to prevent the fox digging under it. There’s no good reason why Israel cannot do the same and very sensitive sensors exist to detect any untoward activity.
Having said that the Israelis knew this attack was coming 3 days prior because Egypt warned them, their own intelligence warned them and yet they did nothing, so all the defence in the world is pointless if the military disregard it.
I’m not at all worried about Ukraine provoking a nulear response as Russia has all buy wiped the Ukrainian army off the map, and if the West doesn’t stop sending long range missiles Russia is likely to take the lot.
The Middle East is not the place it was last time Israel had an issue in Gaza. This time they are much better armed and there are far more countries involved.
Iran has reportedly recruited 3 million Jihadi fighters it has sent into Jordan and that’s a lot of fanatical lunatics you need to kill in order to stop them.
Turkey has made noises about a military invasion, and they have the largest army in Nato with over 800K active and reserve personnel.
Hezbollah has more rockets than all of Europe combined that’s important because they have realised you only need send fireworks up for the patriot and iron dome system to run out of ammunition and require reloading, then they can be targetted with the real ones and destroyed.
Israel needs to play a game and take the threat seriously which it has failed to do up ’til now.
The method is a simple one, to allow water power and aid to flow into Gaza. Not doing so is a war crime and that upsets even people like me who believe Hamas are a dangerous threat.
Then stop the counter productive barrage from stand off weapons which flatten peoples homes and make it more difficult and dangerous to fight through.
Find the tunnels and deal with them, because flattening a tower block probably isn’t going to do that for you.
Finally start treating the people Gaza a bit better because that way they probably won’t tolerate Hamas threatening that, and they won’t be complaining to their Arab neighbours so much.

The “Sword of the Devil”
The jab is the ‘Sword of the Devil’. The ‘Sword of the Devil’ pierces the heart causing myocarditis. The sword of the Spirit can block any word that the devil sends at us. All we have to do is use it. Is that not what Jesus did when the devil tempted Him? Repeatedly He said, “It is written!” If the Word Himself would so use the written Word, how much more should we? What negative words have been spoken over you? Words like: “You’ll kill Granny. You’re going to die of Covid like your parent,” etc. You need to immediately take up the sword of the Spirit against these swords of the devil and drive them back. They will only be true prophecies if you do not resist them. Our hearts should be pierced with the reality that “He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities”. When God’s Word pierces the heart of hearers, it results in either conviction and contrition, or contrary callousness. Only the Word of God can penetrate and pierce the heart.

There is no such thing as ‘racism’ Stew, thanks for making that clear again for us.
People are not understanding at all what is going on, primarily because they need everything reduced to the lowest common denominator, black and white, good and evil, right and wrong.
The situation is of course nuanced and it works like this. Everyone in the Middle East hates everyone else with a burning passion. the Iranians hate just about everyone and everyone hates them, the Saudis hate the Omanis as do several other Arab states aand well, you get the picture. Pretty much all the Arab states including Iran hates the Palestinians and want nothing to do with them, especially allowing any into their country, but, there is one country they all can agree about hating and that’s Israel.
Israel exists in a kind of “well we don’t want it to be there but it is”, and whilst countries like Egypt and Jordan which are on reasonable terms and Saudi which is accepting the existance of the state, the people in these countries are far less tolerant, and might well overthrow their rulers.
In the past Israel was militarily strong, but it has allowed self destructive left wing Jews to enter the country with the crazed ideas of ‘diversity, equality, and tolerance’ which have weakened the state.
Now the Muslim world unites against Israel, they see Socialism has weakened the country and divided it against itself and a house with diversity cannot stand, so now they can smell blood and they only need that spark to light a fire that could consume the whole world.
Israel needs to take very great care not to give a reason for these tinder boxes to ignite, and I don’t think Nettanyahu can contain his bloodlust, he is a man of violence who believes every problem can be solved by violence, he is also a blinkered fool who cannot see the peril his actions are putting his country in, and it is taking much wiser men to hold him back before his actions destroy the entire country.

TWatO Watch #1 – the IDF and Hamas, more gullibles travels from the BBC
The BBC, I think, believe everything a Palestinian from Gaza tells them and everything a Hamas spokesman says. The latest line from a Hamas that the October 7th attack was a military operation against military targets was at least questioned by Sarah but she didn’t get into TOADY-mode and talk over the spokesperson or question repeatedly about the civilians killed in their homes, the civilians killed at a music festival or the civilian hostages taken into the tunnels of Gaza.
The BBC, of course, accept without question that a one year old baby in the south of Gaza was killed by a bomb from an Israeli Airforce aircraft.
Disgusting BBC. Despicaple BBC.

In the opening days of the Israel-Gaza war two small boys, both aged four, were killed. One was Israeli, one Palestinian. But many posts I saw on social media weren’t mourning their deaths – instead, they were trying to deny the killings had taken place.

But when I read the comments below – while there were many speaking of the terrible shock and offering support – there were others I had not expected to find. …..

Is it because vaccinated individuals don’t live long enough to develop dementia?
A friend of mine in the medical profession (research, not practitioner) reports that she’s seeing a lot of material pushing for a single mRNA vaccine that ‘protects’ against ‘flu, Covid and other respiratory diseases is all that will be available in a couple of years time.

It’s probably obvious to most readers here, but a penny dropped while I was listening to an interview with a former senior policeman on Talk TV or GB News (I forget which).
Asked about why the police were now such woke, politicised morons, he stated 2 facts.
First, that in his day many of the top policemen were ex-military. Today, none.
Secondly, that today most police are recruited as students.
Students, as we know, are almost all indoctrinated woke morons.
Together, those 2 simple facts explain a lot, though there are other factors of course, such as pusillanimous leadership from government, and our awful Mayor Khant.

Sluff, that’s where I heard it but I suspect that if the Israelis were really ‘carpet bombing’ Gaza then there would be nothing left.
At all.
But then there are all those Israeli hostages in the tunnels under Gaza. That that rather casts doubt on the veracity of the Palestinian claim about carpet bombing.

Barnes Wallis had a solution were there no hostages.
Maybe the BBC is planning to fly that that tube driver over to keep the guys’ morale up in the tunnels?

Off topic (in case you read this by mistake Loobyloo)
I can’t understand all these people telling Israel to step back and not do anything because some civilians will be killed.
Does that mean they should just let Hamas pop over the border any time they want to carry out their Stone Age slaughter knowing that Israel will not do anything.
Is it ok to send over thousands of rockets but Israel cannot do anything because there are civilians where they launch the rockets.
Imagine in WW2 if we had not fought back against Hitler in case some Germans got hurt. We would all be speaking German for a start.
They say Israel can take action against Hamas but they don’t say what.
It’s like Shylock getting his pound of flesh so long as there’s not a drop of blood in it.
The way Israel has been treated by these very low IQ savages should allow Israel to do absolutely anything to stop it happening again. Maybe like the Allies bombing Germany or the Americans bombing Japan (if Iran doesn’t wind its neck in)

Mr Goldstein,
In a microcosm, this is like a woman who believes she can hit, punch, kick and bludgeon a man nearly to death. Then claim she is entitled to be treated as a lady if he dares to hit her back in self- defence.
The call for Israel to withhold reprisal is a device of conquest. If Israel can be neutralised, the middle east is a big step closer to being entirely Islamified.

They say Israel can take action against Hamas but they don’t say what.
That ‘they’ encompasses a worryingly significant number of folk; many who should know better, and likely do, but are utter opportunist scum.
I hate analogies but was giving this some thought.
Back in the day in the ‘hood it was all a bit up in the air after a bit of a global shindig, and despite the really bad guys being dealt with a few times there were a bunch of loose ends knocking about. So the victors did their best to resolve these, but were frankly pretty worn out and hardly on top of their game.
So… some folks ended up being made neighbours in spite of a raft of geographical, historical and sky fairy stuff unresolved.
One lot, imperfect as some in the West can also be, at least got on with their bit and did a rather good job of turning a barren wasteland into an enviable area.
Others around were a mixed cauldron of greed, envy and intolerance, so this just wouldn’t do, so they decided to get it all.
Went badly, well, badly, back and forth until the lot rather surrounded ended up with more than before. And a few thorns in their side, militarily, in defensive terms.
So the neighbourhood was never as such ‘safe’.
Then one little outpost was allowed to pull a bunch of stunts to make it a lot less safer all round.
Now, if you have had to put up with the guys next door lobbing stuff in the garden trying to kill your kids, with no more than a ‘tut tut’ from the council and govt, you might be feeling a bit under the hammer.
They send their teens over to slaughter your wives, kids and grannies that might just be the giddy limit.
But sending the lads back over is problematic, as their lads are hiding behind their younger siblings, all controlled by grandads in other countries, egged on by doe-eyed charmers in media… in other countries.
So.. what to do? Damed if you do nothing. Damned if you do the least worst thing to stop more of your kids and nannies getting killed.
You bite the bullet and flatten the place by remote.
And ignore the weasels everywhere but at your gaff ignoring their BFFs are still lobbing murder, death, kill stuff at you, still cranking out human shield material at a local commissar required rate, and still not asking the guys in supposed charge to stop poking the next door family.

I watched Sophie Ridge’s interview with Tom Hunt MP. Like so many of the media class, they’re hardwired to react — Pavlov style — to certain undesirable insights and observations. In this case Sophie’s brain can’t process the raw experience of people all over the UK, so her programming kicks in with “do you have the data to back that up?” Like we’ve seen throughout C19, there’s nothing like a dubious government statistic or a shonky pie chart to negate all personal experience when an agenda is at stake. That’s typically enough to satisfy the media blob, who have a childlike trust in official sources so long as they’re part of the right in-group.
If we’re being technical, ‘lived experience’ doesn’t meet the requirements for data either — but this applies to special interest groups so of course it gets a free pass and remains impervious to further scrutiny.
If she wants to come to my bit of London I can give her data by the bucketload. In 5 years it’s gone from an already diverse area to a duoculture (east European/Arabic) where you’ll be hard pressed to hear English more than 10% of the time.

“Lord Wolfson, @DXW_KC in the @UKHouseofLords yesterday explains how his concern for his daughter wearing her Magen David necklace on the Tube in #London is more acute than that for his son in the #IDF. A sad & frankly unacceptable indictment on the reality for #Jews in the UK!”
Why post this on Biased BBC? About 2 minutes plus in, he says, “The BBC has brought us national shame.”

“EU leaders meet – with sharply different views
Even agreeing on one word – should the EU call for a humanitarian pause, or short pauses – is going to be tricky.
And when they finally do come out with a statement, of course all the EU can do is put diplomatic pressure on Israel.”
No mention of any action or pressure towards Hamas then ..
