    Toady watch

    It looks like the BBC has decided to target the blue Labour Home Secretary over her true comments about the attitude the met plod has towards different groups .

    The comrade Robinson sneer – previously deployed against nut nut when he was PM – is now being used against Braverman – who is illustrating the attitude toward Hamas suppprters versus say – vaccine campaigners , brexiters , football supporters – another free ride is given to BLM idiots

    When the Hamas demo on 11 11 goes bandy the blame will go from the Met commissioner to the Home Secretary to the PM – if the Far Left BBC get their way …

    This story is being used as a distraction from the ‘trouble ‘ in red labour where varioud hanas supporting MPs and councillors are moaning / resigning …..
    Perhaps they’ll all show solidarity by going to Palestine and tearing up their UK passports .

      The Moaning Emole leads…


      ‘There’s disgusting behaviour at my McDonald’s’

      A BBC investigation earlier this year exposed claims of a toxic workplace culture at McDonald’s. More than 100 current and recent staff made allegations of sexual assault, harassment, racism and bullying. Since then, 160 people have contacted the BBC with new allegations of abuse. And now, a group of ex-workers are taking the company to court, accusing it of failing to protect them. The fast food chain said it was “determined” to root out behaviour that fell below the high standards it expected of staff.”

      The word ‘investigation’ in the hands of the BBC always cranks an eyebrow.

      This on top of ‘crimes’ created by idiotic legislation’policed’ by men in high heels and lesbian nana SWAT teams.

      Now it is some silly girls, and a few women in cubicles getting emails from disaffected ‘sources’ unhappy with their McNuggets.

      Hence ‘claims’ and ‘allegations’.

      Unlike actual predatory behaviour proven in W1A over and over.

    TOADY Watch #1 – BBC busy bashing Braverman – I wonder why – no I don’t, I know

    “Izzit cos I is black” asks the Home Secretary, Suella Braverman. No, it is because you are a Brexiteer and because you are a Conservative. The BBC interviews Sir Tom Winsor as part of the BBC’s Bashing Braverman Day. Did you listen? I thought I heard (Sir) Tom drop (Sir) Mark Rowley, who he knows well (Kosy K’s together) from his time as Police Regulator, in it and fatally undermine the BBC’s Bashing of Braverman.

    I think I heard Tom Winsor say of the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, Sir Mark Rowley, “He is political.” Oooops! Oh dear. How sad. Never mind.

    Morning quiz: What links Boris Johnson, Suella Braverman and Kemi Badenoch? Skin colour? Very definitely no. Politics? Sort of. I’ll give you a clue. It is why they are hated by the BBC; Bojo, Braverman and Badenoch. Might be to do with the letter B and a word starting with ‘B’.

    BBC world headline:

    Braverman accuses Met of bias over Gaza marches
    ‘The home secretary comes under fire after saying the force often ‘plays favourites’ when policing protests.

    Surely that should be the Met under fire there BBC ?. You’ve completely twisted it around.

    So I went to check who is ‘firing’ at her:

    Yvette Cooper – Labour hard Left
    Sadiq Khan – Labour Muslim
    Lord Greenhalgh being interviewed by BBC newsnight said:
    ‘Any relationship where you’re holding a police service and the Met to account – that means supporting and challenging the Met – that’s got to be done on the basis of trust,”
    Sounds like another 100% out-of-context selective quote after some leading questions.

    Hardly Braverman ‘under fire’ from that set.

    I’m looking forward to the Gaza protests and I hope they give these terrorist supporters enough rope to hang themselves.

    No matter what happens, the problem we have with these people is not going to get better. It’s going to get a lot worse as their numbers increase and they elect themselves into government. It’s time we let them do something the likes of ther BBC cannot censor with their lying by omission.

      The BBC love it when they can write:

      DAMNING HEADLINE – ‘said somebody else’

      Lets them write anything without accountability.

      That journalist was in Gaza city. Clearly close friends with Hamas is he was safe.

      This whole situation where the ‘reporters’ are actually members of the community they are reporting on and are most definitely Hamas supporters is just ridiculous.

      And the fact the BBC hide those facts when presenting their reports show their bias too.

      It should be clear that their reporters live in communities which openly support Hamas and that Hamas are terrorists. One of the elephants in the room here is that there are no white BBC reporters in Gaza. That’s probably because they would be in more danger from Hamas than Israel. What a shame Bowen is such a coward – I would love to see him in there with that one going between bombsites and giving us half the story. Shortly before being kidnapped and taken into a tunnel.

    Just read that Lord Soames , grandson of Winston Churchill, says the Palestinian/Hamas March must go ahead on Armistice Day. The reaction in the UK to the Israeli/Hamas conflict tells us so much about members of our ruling elite.
    Firstly, and I must say surprisingly, Starmer is holding the line against a lot of opposition amongst his MPs , that Israel has every right to pursue Hamas even if there are ‘civilian’ casualties as a result. Sooner or later Starmer will be gone as a result.
    Secondly , the division within the Tories is right along the wet/ dry lines of Mrs Thatcher’s era. They tend to waffle on about freedom of speech and freedom to demonstrate and yet they all vote for the On Line Safety Bill and don’t seem to notice that if there was an anti Muslim demo spouting stuff as inflammatory as the anti Jewish tropes said by thousands at these Palestinian rallies there would many arrests. British tolerance has been our downfall. A crackdown on Islam was required many years ago but our cowardly politicians ducked the issue.
    Thirdly, it is clear that this government and police either don’t have the courage or the ability or the wish to prevent these marches. In short when faced with a Muslim mob they turn and run. I suppose that they may be able to contain one single March but they fear what retribution the Muslims will take elsewhere in the country. In other words we are too frightened of Islam to control our own streets and yet more and more arrive every year. Surely this signals that our country has been captured for Islam.

    • Ian Rushlow says:

      It’s worth remembering that until the Palestine Mandate, the British elite (sic) was staunchly pro-Arab and pro-Muslim. The Foreign Office and associated departments were stuffed with members of the upper class and lower aristocracy who spoke Arabic, understood the culture, were sympathetic to Arab nationalist aspirations and fantasised about being T.E.Lawrence. The main driving force behind this was Britain’s desire to replace the failing Ottoman Empire in the Middle East, tinged with elements of anti-semitism triggered by the arrival and success of Jewish migrants in 19th Century Britain. Further afield, Britain supported Muslim aspirations in India, partly as a ‘divide and rule’ strategy to counter the Hindu majority, partly because Muslims provided the majority of recruits to the Indian Army and were considered manly and martial (Hindus were considered weak and effete). Such sympathies have never really gone away in certain sections of British society, and indeed are spreading further down the food chain e.g into the Labour Party, which is dependent upon the Muslim vote in more than 50 parliamentary constituencies.

      SERCO is a massive company and one of the things they do is run the warehousing of prisoners. These companies are building massive private prisons. Law breaking is good for business.

    Regarding Suella mentioning the lefty police and their favouring lefty protests but going against right wing ones.

    If the police do anything to the lefty protests such as Palestine and blm they could easily be done for racism whereas the right are mainly British protestors so they can go in without any fear of being charged for any ‘ism or ‘phobia.

    Basically, the police can hit the British but dare not do anything to the diverse multiculti enrichers.

    Having said that, all the police bosses at the top are totally woke and far left, plus, if I am correct, you need a degree to be a policeman now which means they are all brainwashed at Uni and are also woke lefties.

    The Suella Braverman v Palestine supporters mob is beginning to remind me very much of one of my most favourite old black and white Western films….

    “High Noon” with The wonderful Gary Cooper as the sherif of a small western town.

    A gang of ruthless desperadoes are on their way to the town he looks after to create havoc and free one of their gang from the jail. The train they are coming on is due to arrive at Noon, hence the film title. As the clock ticks, town support for the sherif starts to evaporate as one by one his deputies (or in the current case, fellow MP’s) go yellow and resign rather than face the baddies. The quivering town mayor reminds me very much of the Met head honcho.

    He is left with just the support of one very old man with a shotgun and his own girlfriend but despite getting shot in the ensuing gunfight he manages to neutralise the villians.

    The townsfolk all gather round at the end to congratulate him but he throws his star into the dust and leaves town with his girl on a wagon…

    I believe the film runs in real time which was a brilliant touch! If you haven’t seen it I would recommend it 100%.

    We will see how the modern version plays out come the eleventh hour of the eleventh day……

      “That will be 2 years in solitary confinement in a stinking, rotten prison cell at HMP Belmarsh. That will be 2 years locked away from my children and family. That will be 2 years locked in a tiny 10-foot-by-10-foot concrete cell subjected to extreme isolation and boredom.
      “It will be one of either two scenarios:
      “Either I will be put into ‘general population’ with other prisoners, in which case I will be relentlessly attacked by Islamist prison gangs (not for the first time either). Or I will be put into total ‘solitary confinement’ again, like the last time in Belmarsh.
      “Either of these situations would be a literal ‘hell on earth’ for me. By the time I get out of prison, my young children will be a foot taller and I would have missed several years of their young lives.
      I waited to send this email, because last night I had a brutally honest sit down with my solicitor and barrister. They both gave me the message I was dreading: I am in deep, serious legal trouble, and it’s highly likely that I will end up doing the 2 years in Belmarsh. I am not exaggerating the seriousness of this situation. Everything I have said is the honest truth.
      “They want to grind me down with another long, isolated prison sentence.
      Remember when I was released from HMP Onley after winning my appeal for false imprisonment? I came out as a weakened, dishevelled wreck.
      “It took me months to recover physically, and even longer mentally. And that was from being in isolation for only a few months. Imagine what two years is going to do to me. But, I am not going to take this lying down. I am not the type of Englishman who cowers and quivers when persecuted or attacked.
      “I am going to fight this with every ounce of strength I can muster. I am going to make them drag me to prison kicking and screaming. I am going to fight this injustice with all means available, despite the odds I am facing.
      “In the letter I received from the Attorney General’s office, they have given me till this coming Tuesday 14 November to reply, and set out my legal defence. Then they will launch full legal proceedings against me.
      “My solicitor and barrister have confirmed they are going to launch a full-scale legal assault on me, and the first letter I received was the ‘opening shot’. Thanks to this new onslaught of persecution, I am fighting for my freedom and for justice again.
      “They put me in prison for a long time for simply livestreaming outside of a court. Imagine what they will do to me this time? My only option is to fight, and fight I will. If they think that the previous ‘Free Tommy’ protests outside the Old Bailey were huge, they haven’t seen anything yet.
      “Another small consolation is that, when they proceed with this prosecution, millions of new people will be so outraged, they will end up watching the ‘Silenced’ documentary, whereas before, they wouldn’t have.
      “You’ve all known me for many years, you know I am not going to go to prison for two years without a huge fight back. My biggest concern, right now, is, once again, getting my legal team organised and paid so they can begin the fight back, legally.
      “I have until next Tuesday to set out my legal defence to the Attorney General’s office. I cannot do that, only my solicitor and barrister can do it. This time, it’s deadly serious for me, so I need your help. My supporters are my only line of defence against the establishment locking me up for two years.”

      We can predict the BBC and GB News’s response.

    2018 … China allegedly has weaponized the electronics supply chain and America is vulnerable. A stunning Bloomberg report outlines how China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) may have compromised the computer chip supply chain, snaring major US corporations, including Apple and Amazon. The report asserts that the PLA imbedded minute microchips on motherboards manufactured by Supermicro Computer. These chips theoretically provide Beijing clandestine access to the compromised servers, an ability to bypass software security, and an open a backdoor to those networks for Chinese operatives.

    If we assume the Bloomberg report is accurate – which I do – this security breach could be the most significant and calamitous on record.

    R5 just now rewriting history, so disturbing that I had to rewind to hear it again.

    Adrian Chiles on Suella & protests in general is told by Tom Symonds (BBC Home Affairs): “the public really self-policed during [covid]; there were a lot of people who didn’t like the regulations — there was a healthy online debate about them of course — but there was no rebellion against them…”

    No rebellion? The BBC purposefully erased, Stalin-style, coverage of multiple anti-lockdown protests in 2020 and 2021 attended by hundreds of thousands. I know because I was on many of them and checked the media blackout on each one. ‘Healthy online debate’ is a view only a BBC reality-denier can have in the face of the mass censorship by the government and media which has been well documented for 3 years.

    Tom does reveal however that he was on the BLM protest — he says it was mostly peaceful. The one that broke lockdown regulations but nevertheless was rewarded with plenty of coverage.

    Can we expect PM Lammy or Angie?
    Will they go for an enricher or someone even further left. After all, they voted for Corbyn as leader and he would have been PM.

    “‘I need to be more clued up’: Students quizzed at pro-Palestine protest reveal how little they know about Israel-Hamas conflict – and aren’t even aware that terror group launched bloody slaughter on October 7.

    British students who were out protesting at a Pro-Palestine rally said they had ‘not seen anything that shows’ Hamas invaded Israel on October 7.

    The two young women, who appear to be in their young twenties, were stopped at a protest march in London this month for a quick interview.

    But despite holding up a home-made sign – complete with sketches and stickers – condemning the British government, the women admitted they weren’t sure about the Hamas attacks.

    In a video shared to X – formerly Twitter – by Campaign Against Antisemitism, an interviewer stops the girls and asks: ‘When Hamas invaded Israel on the 7th October, what was your initial reaction to that?’

    The girl on the left, holding the sign, replied: ‘I don’t believe they did, did they?’

    Looking at her friend for reassurance, she asked: ‘Hamas?’

    Her friend on the right replied: ‘I think so?’, lingering on her answer.

    She continued: ‘Honestly I think I need to be a bit more clued up on everything that’s going on. So I feel like I’m not really qualified to answer that too well.’

    Putting forward her views, the girl on the left then says: ‘I mean, I’m not sure if I’ve seen anything that shows that that’s actually happened or that’s correct’.

    The camera filming then pans round to her home-made sign, with cut-out images and drawings, reading: ‘Rishi, Keir, U must be invertebrates cause ur spineless! Call 4 a ceasefire’.

    A spokesperson for Campaign Against Antisemitism said: ‘This footage showcases the toxic combination of ignorance and support for terrorism that motivates too many of the protesters on these marches. ”

    “‘Hamas terrorists gang-raped Israeli woman before one shot her in the back of the head as he was still having sex with her’: Horrifying account revealed as police gather evidence of sex assaults during October 7 attack

    Israeli police are collecting evidence to prosecute captured Hamas terrorists.

    While gathering evidence, Lahav 433 also took testimony from a woman who said she witnessed the gang-rape and murder of another young woman.

    Haaretz reports the witness told officers of how she watched the shocking attack unfold as she hid from Hamas gunmen wearing military uniforms.

    ‘As I am hiding, I see in the corner of my eye that [a terrorist] is raping her,’ the witness told investigators. ‘They bent her over and I realised they were raping her and simply passing her on to the next [gunman].’

    The witness says the victim was ‘alive’ and ‘on her feet and bleeding from her back. But then the situation was that he was pulling her hair. She had long, brown hair.’

    The woman told officers one of the Hamas gunmen ‘shot her in the head while he was raping her… didn’t even lift his pants’.

    Her testimony has been reported in a number of Israeli news outlets. It was one of thousands of pieces of evidence gathered by the police.

    Another male witness said he didn’t see the rape itself, but confirmed the other witness told him at the time what she had seen.

    Until now, reports of sexual violence carried out by Hamas terrorists were based on testimonies from first responders, who arrived in settlements on October 7 in the aftermath of the attacks.

    Once there, they said they found bodies of naked women, with signs of abuse.

    Zaka rescue and recovery personnel, the ultra-Orthodox volunteer organisation that helped to retrieve and identify bodies, have detailed a number of atrocities, including sex attacks.”

    No 10 disowns Suella Braverman article attacking police over protests
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-67368785

    ‘Home Secretary Suella Braverman is facing questions about her future after defying Downing Street over an article accusing the police of bias.’

    Is Suella Braverman facing the sack?
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-67366748

    ‘One of Labour’s favourite lines of criticism of Rishi Sunak is he is weak.

    So can Mr Sunak let Suella Braverman get away with this?’

    Here we go again. The BBC are using their usual dirty tricks now to get rid of another conservative who openly stands against their far-Left agenda.

    And they are trying to force Sunak to do it by implying he should sack her but he’s too weak to do it.

    I confidently predict they will now run a new headline every day to lay on the pressure.

    It’s absolutely outrageous. How can this happen so many times and nobody with power will stand up against these far-Left activists ?. I can only presume they are cowards who are afraid they will be next.

    It’s all because she said:

    ‘She claimed aggressive right-wing protesters were “rightly met with a stern response”, while “pro-Palestinian mobs” were “largely ignored”.’

    That’s an even more trivial reason than what they used to get rid of Boris. And what makes it more ridiculous is that the BBC themselves accuse the police of far, far worse almost on a daily basis.

    The BBC must be stopped. They are attempting to assasinate another duly elected politician they don’t like. They – and OFCOM – should be jailed for the damage they have done to this country.

    Let’s hope the religion of peace give us a clear demonstration of how right Suella actually is this weekend. Though the BBC won’t report it of course because they are the most monumental of hypocrites.

Suella Braverman did show a draft of her Times article to the PM’s office prior to publication and some changes were suggested by the PM or a CS or a SPAD in the Cabinet Office. We do not know the number of changes or their substantial nature but the Montacutie declines to tell us because it would spoil the BBC’s Bashing of Braverman or dilute it to the point of nothingness.

    Totally disgusted with the way the BBC News website is dealing with Suella Braverman’s comments on the the bias in the Met today. Since when have Chris Mason and his leftwing colleagues had any love of the police? Only when they’re accurately criticised for being woke. The BBC has been determined to destroy Braverman’s career for a very long time.
    My ideal scenario would be for this weak liberal government to lose the next election, followed by a period (hopefully brief) of a seriously damaging Labour government, which might bring the Conservative Party to its senses and elect Braverman as leader. As Prime Minister she’d be as effective as Thatcher at dealing with the leftwing mob that holds the reigns of power currently.
