    Two life sentences for the murder of two men last year in Ireland: one was decapitated with 43 stab wounds; the second with 25 stab wounds to his head, neck and chest. Another was stabbed in the eye but survived.

    “Gardaí (police) believed Yousef Palani’s motivation ‘was to carry out murder due to prejudice against homosexuality.’”

    Normally pages have a section tag to aid navigation. This one doesn’t so you can’t see where it’s from or how to get to it (the attacker is an Iraqi immigrant, which the BBC also omit). One they want to bury deep in the archives.

      He told arresting officers: “I can get angry very quick” and denied he was gay, claiming homosexuality was “a sin, you wont find many Muslims gay and religious”.
      He added: “I want to tell you at this time I was mentally ill, I heard voices, they told me to do it.
      The BBC page doesn’t mention Iraq, Iraqi

      Is the story buried ?
      It’s a foreign story : Ireland so in Europe , but cos it’s 3 days old it’s dropped off that page
      It is still on the BBC Ireland page but 9th item now

    Another BBC disinfo warrior with a book out: Mike Wendling’s ‘Day of Reckoning: How the Far Right Declared War on Democracy’.

    Apparently it will “take readers on a ‘gripping journey into the shadowy underbelly of American politics, exploring the various currents of the far-right and their influence on society'”.

    The BBC do like their shadowy underbellies, just as long as the culprits are familiar. Otherwise it’s tumbleweed.

      Amazon bio “Mike Wendling is US National Digital Reporter for the BBC, based in Chicago. He previously co-founded the BBC’s disinformation unit and was editor and presenter of BBC Trending. He has decades of experience covering extremism, the American far right, social media and disinformation, and is the author of Alt-Right: From 4chan to the White House.”

      There are no public reviews cos the book is not released for another 7 months – May 20, 2024
      seems it’s going straight to paperback

      See how the intro throws about boo-word labels “far right” “fascist “

      with millions in thrall to conspiracy theories, toxic populism, and the far right edging closer to total power—a dire threat to civil society and democratic institutions. While the MAGA movement was in remission due to Donald Trump’s defeat in 2020, the fascist fringes have not just survived but have continued to thrive and burrow into the mainstream.

    For about a week, as their main news item, the BBC have banged on about the small level of aid getting into Gaza.

    Whether there is any substance for this or not it is a typical BBC playbook agenda.

    The BBC are determined to make Israel out to be the villians by this drip-drip-drip propaganda campaign when we all know who the real villians are.

    The depth of anti-Jew mentality in the BBC is staggering. It can only be down to pressure within from “certain groups” of their staff.

      A high percentage of black male slaves imported into the Islamic world underwent castration en route – the mortality rate was horrific, and only those blacks without their tackle were generally wanted by wealthy Muslims (those who bought slaves), to ensure they weren’t distracted and didn’t breed (with Muslim women).

      ‘Black’ and ‘slave’ are still very much synonymous throughout the Islamic world, there are plenty of black Muslims, but outside of Sub-Saharan Africa they’re distinctly looked down on – at least that’s what I’ve heard from many Muslims, and read, more than once.

      The Turks in Anatolia were notoriously brutal and cruel, long before the Ottomans even. There are reasons the Greeks hate them so much!

    “The West’s Monster Within”

    No, not the BBC, though that’s true too, but the title of Melanie Phillips’ latest article about the West’s response to Hamas terrorism.

    Among other things, she identifies two developments:

    “The first is support for the Palestinian cause, which for years has been the default position amongst western “progressive” classes. Since this cause is based entirely on historical and legal falsehoods, Nazi-style demonisation and a genocidal agenda to destroy Israel and murder Jews — an agenda promoted not just by Hamas but also by the supposedly “moderate” Palestinian Authority — such support has knocked the west off its moral compass, aided and abetted by the anti-western perversities of “intersectional identity politics”.

    The second development is what has been the great unsayable: mass Muslim immigration and the consequent import of radical jihadi ideology that aims to Islamise the west.

    For decades, western governments have refused to face up to this while the liberal mainstream media has sanitised it and punished by character assassination all those who try to call it out.”

    TV Licensing have started to send me threat letters again

    “Ignoring this letter could cost you more than the licence fee” £1000.00 blah blah blah. They tell me my details have now been passed to their Enforcement Division.

    Odd because my name is not on the letter. They don’t seem to have my details despite the fact that I have been at this address for 10 years.

    I registered that I do not need a licence in 2018 and have declared the same since then. They normally send me a “thank you for telling us” email.

    This year they seem to think this address has changed tenants.

    They must be getting desperate for funds since so many people have withdrawn support.

    Pull down the statues – change road names!

    “A decision by Uganda’s government to name a road after two foreign tourists killed earlier this month has triggered outrage in the country.

    British citizen David Barlow and his South African wife Emmaretia Geyer were shot dead on their honeymoon.

    Police said the attackers also burned their car in the 17 October attack.

    Some Ugandans have criticised the government for honouring the foreign couple yet excluding Eric Alyai, the Ugandan guide killed alongside them.”

    It’s about time someone reminded the world about the 2005 Israeli withdrawl from Gaza. Israel gave land away for peace. BBC had reporters there. They covered it. I remember watching it on both BBC News and CNN.

    Absolute proof that real peace with Islam is impossible. Media like the BBC could show 20-30 somethings what happened. In fact as a “public broadcaster” I would say they have a duty to do so.

    Listening to one of the American Preppers it might have struck people that US carriers are leaving ports to travel to war zones, but not the significance of that.

    Apparantly it can take up to 3 months to re-supply one of these floating cities and questions are being asked about the convenience of them just happening to be ready right at this particular moments.

    Questions are also being asked as to why the US government procurement agencies have ordered so much freeze dried food that it has become difficult to find and more expensive.

    Planning for something was clearly in the pipeline and we don’t know what that was for but the number of wealthy people buying fallout shelters or running away to Central America or New Zealand also raises eyebrows.

    Whatever, just another bunch of Leftoids masquerading as humanitarian. Everyone knows a ceasefire will just give Hamas a chance to regroup and rearm.

    Meanwhile the awful BBC try and create equivalence between the growth in anti-Semitic instances (up from 30 to over 400) with anti-Muslim ones ( from 60 to about 180). So bare-faced. They don’t even pretend.

    And just to prove the fact , a few minutes later a trailer about a hard luck story about a person who has come to the UK to get ‘a better life’. So, not exactly ‘fleeing persecution in fear of their lives’ is it, BBC?
