    Tommy Robinson and Katie Hopkins reinstated on X
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-67331288

    The BBC are very clearly not happy about this. I think a spiteful child wrote the article. It’s chock full of snippets presented completely out of context.

    But what caught my eye was this about Katie Hopkins:

    ‘she claimed that a photograph of a drowned 3-year old Syrian refugee had been staged.’

    Hypocrisy and double standards on an epic scale yet again by the BBC. Claiming a picture has been staged is terrible when Katie does it – but as we’ve seen this week, it’s perfectly fine to use them in headline news articles when Getty do it to push their far-Left agenda – including the latest ones from Gaza which are basically terrorist propaganda.

    It makes me laugh when people like the BBC talk about hate on social media and all their examples are right-wing. In my experience, the group who are the most full of hate – by a country mile – are the far-Left. Maxi gives us an example from time to time when he’s had a bit too much of something and the BBC HYS are chock full of it when the lefty troll farm is engaged.

    I’ve said it many times: nobody hates like the Left. But as usual it’s only wrong when the Right do it.

      Beaten to it!

      I logged on just to say exactly what JohnC has, so much more eloquently above…

      There are times when I wonder if I’m being entirely fair to the BBC, some friends and family say I’ve “got a bee in my bonnet” about the organisation, and that it’s “not THAT biased really”. Then an article like this turns up, and I absolutely KNOW I’m right (and everyone here is right) and the BBC are as blatantly biased and hypocritical as hell.

      In case you didn’t know (where have you been?!), the BBC hive mind REALLY, REALLY, REALLY doesn’t like Katie Hopkins and Tommy Robinson (whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon – don’t u know? – if my real name was Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, I’d be tempted to use a pseudonym too, to be honest.)

      Why don’t the BBC like them? Because they have different views on a couple of things… so what?! Really, honestly, so what? Lots of my friends and family have very different views on all kinds of things, I don’t HATE them for it, we just agree to disagree and leave it at that.

      As JohnC said, absolutely typical of a massive swathe of ‘lefties’ these days to get absolutely riled, and hopping, spitting mad, just because… someone doesn’t agree with them and share their point of view about something.

      It’s a form of insanity, utterly mad behaviour, and quite scary how many share it.

    The ‘flexibility’ of the woke is something to behold. The conflict in Gaza and UK demonstrations are purported to be in support of a cease fire but frequently include incitement to violence and highly racist language .
    The woke apologists say that stopping or outlawing these demonstrations would be running contrary to the UK’s tradition of free speech. Yet these are the very same people who created hate speech laws and use this legislation to prevent native Brits from speaking their minds on the Islamification of our country.
    Muslims can say all sorts of hateful things about Jews or Brits but no one can say anything which might possibly upset them. Why do the authorities protect Muslims but don’t protect Jews or Brits? The answer is that the authorities are petrified of Muslim violence . In 21 st century Britain the threat of mass violence is the way to get what you want . We all know how this is going to end !

      It seems they have attacked the Rokeby Venus in imitation of the suffragette Mary Richardson, who damaged it with an axe in 1914.
      They should do their research better, in later life Richardson was head of the women’s section of the British Union of Fascists (she also ran as a candidate for the Labour party). She also did the usual suffragette things like arson and bombing.

    What does ‘from the river to the sea’ mean to you?

    Certainly a ditty that lends itself to alliteration.

    Slight idea what it means in languages of little use to activists and western broadcasters, which is why that is likely avoided.

    ‘Control your client’ – Judge warns Trump lawyers
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-us-canada-67314495

    lol – Trump is treating the trial with contempt and making a farce of it with the kind of language he knows drives the Left crazy.

    The Democrat Judge and the BBC are virtually foaming at the mouth about it. Quite satisfying to read …

    Their latest anti-Trump piece in it is:
    ‘Former prosecutor says Trump attacks the judge to spin a looming trial loss’

    Lets see who he is:
    Renato Mariotti

    ‘Renato is a grassroots activist, commentator, and lawyer who wants to fight to make our party more “bottom up” and accountable to people who are doing the hard work of canvassing, organizing, and holding grassroots fundraisers.’
    The party is of course The Democrats.

    ‘“When I’m Attorney General, I plan to do everything I can to stop Trump from taking away our rights and misusing his power,”’

    100% Democrat activist. Odd how the BBC didn’t mention it …

    Anyone else wondering if the timing of the reinstatement of TR and KH on Twitter is coincidental? Crank up the tension on social media and have more anti-hate policies waiting in the wings? I may be wrong, but I’d like to know what Sunak and Musk chatted about last week outside of AI.

    Anyway Marianna Spring tweets that she’s using Twitter a lot less these days because it triggers the trolls. From the replies:

    —————————————
    “I’m using X a lot less… because of trolls it triggers”

    That is disingenuous, pejorative, and bad faith, Mariana.

    You got many reasonable and informed critical responses from licence fee payers, academics and media experts.

    But you never engaged. Instead you call us ‘trolls’.

    BBC News page: “Man guilty of mosque worshippers’ attempted murders”

    Just another of those typical Sudanese-asylum-seeker-setting-fire-to-people-outside-mosques stories. All part and parcel of living in an Islamo-pyromaniac country. The Mirror reports what the BBC don’t in their several articles: that Abbkr asks one victim “whether he speaks Arabic. When he says he speaks Urdu and Punjabi, Mr Rayaz can then be seen being sprayed with a liquid from a bottle before being engulfed in a ball of flames.”

    Judge says he wants to hear further psychiatric evidence before sentencing. But of course he does.

    Not seeing many reports in the media of the attack on a US military base in Turkey where nuclear weapons are stored.

    It was like watching a scene from the walking dead or World War Z seeing so many people all running around in one direction, it is scary

    Now I have said before that I believe Israel has a right to exist, and a right to defend itself, but I do not believe it has a right to commit war crimes with impugnity, nor do I believe that killing 3000 children is OK because a dozen militants were killed.

    Again this is the fault of Biden and Nettenyahu Biden for giving a black cheque with support and Nettenyahu not caring what atrocities he commits in the process.

    This must be the fourth attempt to destroy Hamas using this tactic and like all the others, not only will it fail but it will recruit more to its cause and have the opposite result. Worse still it will make the future more dangerous for Israel as the US fails in every area of importance thanks to the huge failures of the Biden administration.

    The world needs to be a safer place, but with Biden and Nettenyahu it is much more dangerous.

      War crimes

      The use of human shields is forbidden by Protocol I of the Geneva Convention. It is also a specific intent war crime as codified in the Rome Statute which prohibits “utilizing the presence of a civilian or other protected person to render certain points, areas, or military forces immune from military operations.”

        Plus they tried this approach three times in the past and it didn’t work. If he carries on like this there soon won’t be an Israel, because its enemies will be forced to act.

    The Hamas broadcasting company are now beyond neutral – bowen describes the Israel attacks as ‘ruthless’ …

    How the Governments behavioural scientists and the BBC became the terrorists, who induce Fear and Mass Hysteria.

    A government induced ‘Nocebo Effect’ meant that many hypnotised people were on ventilators for weeks, even though they did not have an infection. The ‘Nocebo Effect’ also caused “Long Covid”. Both these conditions involved long but stable and unchanging symptoms and conditions. Most Doctors were puzzled by this. So with a boom in suicides, especially amongst children, ‘Mass Murder’ by the governments behavioural scientists must also be taken into consideration.

    As the awful BBC keeps spewing, if they don’t like any issue which isn’t veering to the lefties, the bile is made out to be from a ‘Far Right’ panel of normal British citizens.

    Why have the thick kidults in W1AA never discovered that the vast majority of citizens in the UK are NORMAL!

    Normal Citizens don’t muck about with idiotic pronouns, they don’t really like foreigners coming here, they certainly dislike paying for illegals to live on benefits in luxury, they usually pay their taxes, (except for the TV tax – when they’re enlightened that is), and they go about their business of working, mostly in the private sector, to create wealth for UK Inc!

    I guess there may even be some Normal Citizens in the public sector, and that they become even more normal when they retire so early and get eye-watering pensions, but sadly, I don’t think I’ve ever met any. Perhaps they live on the Costa Brava.

    The Beeboid Pension Fund will certainly be bailed out when Starmer sits on the No!0-No11 fence next year, probably sooner rather than later, so perhaps a Branson or a Musk could buy the whole sodding lot of the hated national broadcaster, and sort them out…

    The BBC gets more abysmal by the day as it indulges the fantasy grievances and wails of victimisation unchecked.

    The other day we had some black girl on talking about whatever and she suddenly veers off into the usual….racism, colonialism, slavery….being from Ghana, heritage wise, she’s traumatised by the vision of black bodies in the sea…thrown there by evil slave traders….cue OMGs and ‘horrific’ from presenter.

    Then we have Afua Hirsch, renta-activist who jumps aboard the latest fashionable bandwagon and tries to coin a living out of her race-grifting. Today she was indulged by, guess…yeah Nagger, subject….women ‘forced’ by society and culture to appear in a certain way…make-up, hair or clothes…..though I can’t say I’ve noticed….women pretty much wear what they like unless it’s a bit of a do…and then the men also dress up and conform.

    Naturally….it’s all to do with colonialism and racism….Africans told they have to be like white people to succeed and that their culture is inferior to European[hmmmm…well, yeah it was…is]…..really? No-one told them to straighten their hair, just be neat and tidy as expected of all employees….massive afros are clearly unmanageable in the workplace….as would be hair hanging down to Whitey’s ankles.

    Hirsch claimed Darwin’s writings on evolution meant people started to hate hair and wanted to be hairless and less animal-like….er….weren’t the Victorians especially beardy including Darwin himself?

    And…what about the Greeks, Romans and Egyptians, and undoubtedly many other cultures?

    ‘The Greeks and Egyptians idealized hairless bodies. Shaving and depilation techniques were commonly used. Greek sculptures depict men and women without body hair.’

    So no….celebration of hairless bodies did not start with wicked white male colonial Victorians.

    Just a shame that, again, the presenter, lapped it all up and didn’t have a word to say to the contrary thus the BBC once again broadcasting lies about race and culture to the world and adding to the long, long list of imagined slights and grievances that Black people claim to have suffered…and are suffering under now.

    Hirsch also claimed to be Ghanaian…despite actually being half white which she seems to have forgotten….and of course came from an enormously privileged background but is the eternal black victim.

    And then we had Suella Braverman’s comments on the homeless and tents….cue total outrage and lots of sighing from BBC presenters.

    We had someone who’s even more Nicky Campbell than Nicky Campbell standing in for Nicky Campbell…Chris Warburton…totally on-side with the critics of Bravermanof course.

    Nice long friendly chat with someone who worked in a particular hostel who said now that they were all under council control it was very difficult for anyone to get in…you can’t just turn up and get a bed. Then we had a caller who said in his experience people were getting into hostels….suddenly things turned frosty and a bit hostile as Warburton practically shouted at him demanding to know what experience.

    Caller then said that he didn’t understand how there were so many shelters for animals but not for people….melt-down from Warburton who said he shouldn’t be comparing people to animals and that’s not a road we want to go down…end call….cue several daft callers berating that caller for daring to use such language and calling the homeless ‘animals’.

    So Warburton completely misunderstands what the caller said and smeared him on national radio and allowed various other callers to come on and denounce him…imagine if they knew his address…he’d have to move….all because a BBC presenter is a bit of a useless t**t who is more interested in sounding virtuous than getting the facts. The poor bloke only wanted to know why if we can provide so much charity for animals why can’t we do it for the homeless and he gets mauled by the BBC….irony is the right-on brigade always use this argument….we’re a nation of animal lovers who don’t care about humans…so he was channelling the right-on but still gets attacked by the BBC moron.

    And let’s be clear about the hostels….they were talking at the time about emergency shelter…you desperately need a roof for the night…many hostels do need referrals from charities or whomever, as they are long term stays, but they are not all run by local councils as claimed and there are indeed other emergency shelters that provide a place to stay on a freezing night on the fly….clearly they have a limited amount of accommodation.

    ‘A few hostels and night shelters will accept people at the door. These are sometimes called ‘direct access’ hostels. But it’s best to telephone first to check that they have room.

    Most night shelters are free. These are usually very basic but can provide a place to stay for a few nights and often some food. Some areas only have night shelters that are open during the winter, usually from December to March. They are sometimes called cold weather shelters.’

    So the caller was right…he’d spoken to many homeless people who said they’d been able to get instant accommodation….but Warburton was only interested in shooting him down.

    Of course the solution might be to provide ‘capsule’ rooms….basically a secure bed with services like showers, toilets and cooking available ala Japanese capsule hotels….but you just know the BBC et al would complain at the lack of luxury as they do with illegal migrants whom they expect us to provide four bedroom houses for them as nothing else is good enough.

    The BBC is of course plugging the UN’s anti-Semitism and even invites the well known radicals of UNRWA into its studios….UNRWA that teaches Palestinian children to hate and kill Jews….

    ‘Teachers and schools at the UN agency that runs education and social services for Palestinians regularly call to murder Jews, and create teaching materials that glorify terrorism, encourage martyrdom, demonize Israelis and incite antisemitism, reveals a new report by two independent research and monitoring groups.

    This, lol, is from the UN’s own report….

    ‘United Nations Watch is concerned that the Palestinian education system continues to promote antisemitism and incite terrorism, including in schools of the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA).’

    Oh and yeah…

    ‘Eight-year-olds learn poetry from the following verse:

    “I vow I shall sacrifice my blood, to saturate the land of the generous and will eliminate the usurper from my country, and will annihilate the remnants of the foreigners.”’

    Pretty clear what that means….but the BBC happily ignores the truth and, as the UN does, put al the blame onto Israel and allows UNRWA spokesmen on to spread the propaganda further.

    It is an irony that the UN itself set up and rubber stamped the creation of israel[and Pakistan] and now wants to destroy it with a little help from auntie beeb.

The chant then was “hey, hey USA, we’re not going to die for LBJ”. I believe the demos taking place in the US have a new chant now – “hey ho, hey ho, genocide Joe has got to go”. Think the Biden administration are now getting twitchy regards support for the Democrats. But anyway just a reminder of those heady days of the 60s:

      This last year was neither dry, nor warm – ok, there were a few very warm, dry weeks (Sept mostly), but most of the year was cold, and wet.

      However, I have noticed several BBC articles stating it was ‘one of the hottest and driest years on record’ etc… Clearly, the BBC aren’t too worried about facts when they contradict their narratives.

      Has that been taken down ?.

      Judge Engoron seems to think he IS the law. And is arrogant enough to not even bother trying to hide his contempt for Trump.

      The most bothersome thing about all of this is that it is very obviously politicial persecution more at home in some African banana republic – but the MSM are now so corrupt, they won’t even suggest it. Stopping this kind of abuse of power is precisely what they are supposed to expose and stop. They have totally failed in their ethical duty.

    Leeds hospital bomb trial: Patient says he ‘tried to cheer up’ accused
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-67333863

    Ahh – that sounds like a good news story for someone. I wonder what the rest of the article says:

    ‘Mohammed Farooq, 28, who is accused of planning a terror attack at St James’s Hospital, was “agitated” when Nathan Newby said he tried to “cheer him up”.’

    ‘He said: “He just looked upset, as though he’d had some really bad news.’

    ‘Farooq told Mr Newby he wanted revenge on the hospital and planned on setting off a pressure cooker bomb.’

    He was going to set it off in the canteen. Entirely innocent people. Not quite the story the headline promised.

    The article ends with the words:

    ‘but was not motivated by Islamist extremism and not radicalised.’.
    The usual extreme weasel words : they mean ‘not a member of ISIS’. But still an Islamic terrorist. Yet the BBC do not use the word terrorist through the whole article.

    That’s OK then. Oh but what about this line on it’s own and not elaborated on at all:

    Farooq, of Roundhay, is also accused of planning a terror attack at the US base at RAF Menwith Hill, near Harrogate.

    Which paints a completely different picture to the one the BBC report suggests.

    More desperate writing by the BBC intended to tone down what a horrific event this very nearly was.

    When I read these, I always think about the lengthy, no-holds-barred things they write about the young white far-right males who get arrested for downloading and sharing something. The BBC have no problem using the word ‘terrorist’ for them. And they never left their bedroom, never mind built a bomb and took it to a hospital.

    Lets see who did it. Remember our secret services now have to monitor tens of thousands of people just like him in case they try something similar:

    _131578473_farooq.jpg.webp

    I wonder how long it will be before one of the millions of Hamas terrorist supporters do something here.

    Sometimes when the bias shows through, you just have to smile…

    In all seriousness some journo at the FT, when asked to write something for their frontpage news Briefing column about the upcoming King’s Speech, went about it somewhat cack-handedly: King Charles will today present a raft of highly political legislation…

    Firstly, on a style note, people who talk of a raft of something are already prime candidates for putting one’s back up.

    Know them by their language. One recalls that former stand-up comic of the alternative set, Alexei Sayle, a chap himself steeped in 1980s right-on leftist culture, nevertheless in his comedy routine enjoyed mocking the tendency of bourgeois leftists to ape the language of industry. Hence the Islington north London local lesbian collective would gather for a ‘workshop‘. Teachers’ unions insistently imagining themselves some form of soul sisters to Scargill’s coal miners would describe their labour minding a couple of dozen kiddies for the day as their standing at the ‘chalkface

    Employment of the term raft when the word set would serve and suffice to describe the contents of the King’s Speech, I’m afraid betrays your naff mid-wit managerial tendency and mindset. Unless that is you’re saying raft only to then quickly go on to mock Rishi Sunak’s abject failure to block the Channel dinghies. Employed in satire, that’s fair game.

    And the transparant lame bias of the FT doesn’t end there: King Charles will today present a raft of highly political legislation… – in the home of Parliament, before our elected representatives, the FT implies it’s going to be all a bit too… ‘political‘?

    I get it. I know the FT represents a globalist managerial corporate voice that would rather petty local politics went away leaving nothing but a one-size-fits-all open borders mass of cheap atomised interchangible individualist labouring multicultural prols.

    Just look at their top two features they promote just beneath the masthead today: hopefully: Will Bidenomics win over American voters? plus, we gotta keep the light-footed and fancy-free capital sloshing around the world: The top US city for overseas investment

    And we close with what must be the British government’s final and indeed ultimate insult to the proud men of the Empire Windrush generation… who travelled thousands of miles across the ocean just to come to London and toil on our undermanned transport system…

    Sunak’s ticket to driverless buses by 2030… will be operating autonomously by the end of the decade under legislation being bought forward today (Times)

    https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/11/05/bbc-palestinian-protest-advice-inaccurate-jewish-lawyers/

    I read this story in astonishment.

    Basically the BBC has taken it upon itself to produce legal advice for the Muslim protesters so they know just how far they can go before they are actually breaking the law.

    What on Earth has it got to do with the BBC ?. Why are they spending license-fee payers cach on things like this ?.
