Weekend 11th November 2023

With Thanks to Lawrence Binyon

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

      REPORT: The San Francisco homeless population has “miraculously” gone missing as President Biden & Chinese President Xi Jinping are set to meet in the liberal city.

      Remarkable!

      The typical drug addicts & homeless who wander the city like zombies have disappeared as 20,000 people are expected to visit the San Francisco thanks to the APEC summit.

      The New York Post says sources have told them that the homeless are being “herded” out to other areas of the city.

      “They started clearing the tents earlier this week and there is definitely a lot more police presence,” said one resident.

      The resident also explained that the city appeared to have the capability to do this all along but they refused.

      “They’ve cleared out the tents that were near the Moscone Center on Howard Street, which tells me the city had the capability to do this all along… We need is a permanent solution.”

      Another resident said: “They are just essentially herding the problem around but offering no long-term solutions.”

      “I don’t know if these tents will be in physical view during APEC, but it will be virtually impossible to eliminate all of that.”

      Clown city for a clown president.

      That is a highly significant admission, and all our authorities should be made aware of it, as well as the BBC.

      The Google translation read:
      Referring to the war in Gaza, Alireza Panahian, the spokesman of Khamenei’s office, said: “Hassan Nasrallah and our leader are pursuing the war in Gaza so that Western civilization will be destroyed in a war of attrition in the region.”
      In response to the question, “What if the dead in Gaza reach 40,000?”, he said, “How long do we have to endure slavery?”

    Whether mass fighting breaks out or not, the islamo-fascists and the lunatic left have won. They know they can call out their stormtroopers to occupy the streets, and that the authorities and the police will let them.
    Furthermore, anyone who criticises them will be demonised and vilified, like Braverman.
    It was a test of strength and we lost.

    bbc reports:-
    No incidents related to pro-Palestinian march, say police
    As we’ve reported, the Metropolitan Police have released a short statement on X about the pro-Palestinian march, saying: “As expected there is a very large turnout

    Then the bbc reports:-
    I’ve stopped outside Victoria Station where there was a brief and very small flare-up outside the Duke of York pub.

    A group of men shouted abuse and expletives at the crowd and were held back by police. Marshalls did well to usher protesters back to the route, urging them not to engage.

    Strange, there was nothing to report, but was 🙂

    Good to see Jeremy Corbyn and John Macdonald at the head of the Palestinian March.
    Just so there can be no doubt about what this March is really all about.

    And if I may copy from glad’s post above
    ‘The Google translation read:
    Referring to the war in Gaza, Alireza Panahian, the spokesman of Khamenei’s office, said: “Hassan Nasrallah and our leader are pursuing the war in Gaza so that Western civilization will be destroyed in a war of attrition in the region.”’

    ‘Western civilisation will be destroyed.’
    That is exactly what the FarLeft want.
    To be replaced by a socialist nirvana of course.

    From the socialist worker website

    ‘The Socialist Workers Party (SWP) is a revolutionary socialist party……..The problems in society come from a system, capitalism………We think the solution is a revolution,……..’

      But if the left expect that if after the destruction of Western Civilisation by Islam they won’t suffer the same fate as the rest of the non Muslim they are very much mistaken. Unless of course their socialist Utopia can be integrated into Islam which would mean the end of socialism.
      The epidemic , pandemic, of cognitive dissonance has reached staggering proportions best epitomised by the group Queers for Palestine which is living proof that given a chance some turkeys would vote for Christmas.

    It’s a lie, of course, that the police are impartial.
    As Braverman said, they are partial towards Just Stop Oil, Extinction Rebellion, Islamists, climate ‘activists’ (terrorists), BLM (even taking the knee in what must be the most grotesque gesture of self-abasement and submission to vicious, Marxist, racist thugs, who have subsequently embezzled most of the cash); and a multitude of other woke causes the establishment favours.

    Burt here’s the thing:
    I DON’T WANT THE POLICE TO BE IMPARTIAL AND UNBIASED!

    Impartial between what and what? Right and wrong; lawful and criminal; islamo-fascists and dignified patriots; lunatic lefties and sensible moderates; good and evil?

    No, I want them to be partial as hell towards the law-abiding silent majority of patriotic Brits who love our country.

    The reasons WHY the fighting is around civilians in Gaza is one the biggest lies-by-omission the BBC has told in recent years.

    They are focussing on the effect of the fighting knowing people will assume it’s all because of nasty Israel. When we know for sure it’s only Hamas who deliberately murder civilians.

    And where are OFCOM to tell the BBC to make it clear ?.

    It’s absolutely disgusting. I am still perplexed as to why the Left support these barbarians above all others.

      JohnC, one lot are terrorists who break every ‘rule of war’ in the book, don’t obey any laws (when it doesn’t suit them), hide behind a ‘civilian shield’ and live hostages, fire missiles at random (sometimes hitting their own side), would happily kill us all and conspire with our enemies, and consider the torturing, raping and murdering of innocent people (and infants) acceptable.

      The other lot are a law abiding, civilised country, with a democratically elected government, have attempted to ‘keep the peace’ (despite severe provocation), are our allies, and generally our ‘friends’, mostly employ highly accurate, targetted missiles and attacks, have provided warnings to civilians to leave areas they are about to target, and attempt (not always successfully) to avoid civilian targets.

      Guess which the MSM (and millions of not particularly bright people) support?

      Ok, it’s not as simple as that, but really… in a way… it is.

    First they used a New York court instead of his home region
    #2 The prosecutor said 4,700 people texted , but produced none that said they had
    Meanwhile similar joke tweets by anti-Trump are of course never prosecuted, so that is a clear double standard

    Tucker : Martin Shkreli sent to 7 years in prison for joke about Hillary Clinton “lizard person” https://youtu.be/NeyN3Jzdzz0
    Was he ?
    In in 2017 out in 2022 so served 5 years
    And the sentencing was due to his fraud cases where he was found guilty on 3 out of 8 charges.
    He said he had expected to be sentenced to little time, cos it normally depends on amount of the fraud
    And his case no one lost money
    he had used funds from his new companies to fund the old ones like a Ponzi, however in the long run his gamble paid off
    Hovewever his other acions although legl made him a bad boy. He had bought monopoly pharmaceutical rights and jacked up the prices, supported Trump
    an had a long running banter tweets against Hillary
    However in the middle of being on bail for fraud he posted a joke “I’ll give you $12K if you get me a lock of Hillary’s hair so I can DNA prove she’s a Lizard person”
    His bail judge said no that’s not free speech that is a contract to attack Hillary”, so immediately revoked his bail.
    Then when his fraud trial came up sentencing was harsh so he stayed in prison until 2022

    A rally involving hundreds of thousands of Palestinians was held in Gaza Strip and various celebrations were conducted all over the Palestinian Authority. Thousands of jubilant Hamas supporters openly raised green flags in the West Bank, to celebrate the Islamic organisation’s 25th anniversary.

    In his speech, which Mashal gave at a mass rally attended by hundreds of thousands of supporters, he stated explicitly that the Palestinian people would never compromise with Israel’s existence and that the organization will act decisively to gradually conquer and achieve full control over the whole region, which encompass both Israel and the Palestinian territories in order to establish one Islamic state in that region.

    …………

    Police in the control room are also examining social media, and say they have seen people at the main protest pictured with pro-Hamas slogans. They are trying to identify these people.

    But, unlike the counter-protesters, these people are harder to find and arrest. HA HA HA HA HA HA!

    …these people are harder to find and arrest…

For my postcode only today and tomorrow based on 1 hourly prediction, rest? 3 hourly. Plenty of wriggle room there. Perhaps they’re unsure about any more than 2 days.

    Tonight I shall be watching the WWII film “Defiance” starring Daniel Craig, in memory of what happened:

    “In UK cinemas from January 9 and based on an extraordinary true story, DEFIANCE is an epic tale of family, honour, vengeance and salvation.

    The year is 1941 and the Jews of Eastern Europe are being massacred by the thousands. Managing to escape certain death, three brothers take refuge in the dense surrounding woods they have known since childhood. There they begin their desperate battle against the Nazis. Daniel Craig, Liev Schreiber and Jamie Bell star as brothers who turn a primitive struggle to survive into something far more consequential – a way to avenge the deaths of their loved ones by saving thousands of others”

    I believe this film is available on Netflix and possibly other streaming channels.

    Lest we forget.

    As predictably as Allahu is followed by Akbar, little Mayor Khunt is blaming Braverman for the ‘incidents’ in London.

    WRONG! You know who’s to blame? Decades of immigration by people who hate our country and just use it for benefits; scores of girls groomed and raped while authorities turned a blind eye for fear of being called Islamophobic or racist; hundreds of killed and wounded by terrorist bombs, machete attacks and car rammings; the gradual takeover of our cities by people who have no intention of integrating, are fundamentally inimical to our way of life and can’t wait to take over and impose their fascistic sharia laws on us; and now mass demonstrations in support of terrorism by people waving terrorist flags and chanting terrorist slogans – and the obscene disrespect of Remembrance Day by people who don’t even know or care what poppies represent.

    That, you little weasel, is who is to blame for any trouble.

    Reading through the tittle-tattle about today’s ‘marches’ on the awful Beebonic’s website, one would think that they were talking about a cuddly group of old-age pensioners, claiming their rights, marching for a pension rise, not a group of ill-advised people – mostly foreigners, who are supporting a crowd of fanatical killers, intent on slaughtering even more of the Jews, and anyone else who gets in their way!

    Where is the reporting on the frightened Jewish residents of London staying inside their homes; where is the stuff about total disruption of our capital city, which is more aligned with Bradford than a normal British city!

    All they spout about is 90 arrests by people who are quite rightly fed up with these foreigners and their subsets like the useful idiot Corbyn, screaming about things going on elsewhere, and over which the UK has little or no influence!

    As usual, one reads the Beeb’s pathetic attempts at writing the truth, and then one believes the opposite.

    I met an old friend today, who told me that when they lived in Yorkshire, the children were quite young, but Christianity wasn’t even being taught in the schools they attended! It was all Islam! The kids accepted it as what they were told, but were certainly not able to judge what it would mean to them if that ‘religion’ would be stuffed down their throats in a few years time, whether they wanted it or not!

    It beggers belief…

    Can you imagine during WW2 when the Allies were about to cross the Rhine……and then we had a ceasefire.
    Although badly damaged Hitler would have his main people and Party still in place.
    He could use the ceasefire to rebuild (and who knows how near they were to getting a nuclear bomb) and reorganise.
    The Nazi threat would remain and probably come back stronger.

      The IDF fails to attend the incident for 5 hours after the initial contact.

      I’m sorry we are led to believe Mossad are the best intelligence operation in the world, and that Israel are red hot on border security, and then this happens and it wasn’t deliberate?

          restructured the Israeli security and defence establishments in a bizarre way. For example, Israel’s Ministry of Defence now has two ministers, with Defence Minister Yoav Gallant from the Likud Party joined by finance minister Bezalel Smotrich from the Religious Zionist Party, who was allocated specific defence ministry powers despite having no security experience.

          Please explain any blame I apportioned?

          Hamas appear to have done something Israel didn’t believe was possible, Iran didn’t know – but approved, Hezbollah didn’t know, but approved. This is highly unusual Hamas are largely believed to be controlled by Iran. My personaly thoughts are that Russia’s Wagner group trained them in order to open a second front. Nettanyahu is on very good terms with Putin but he stabbed him in the back by supporting Ukraine.

          I don’t blame Israel, I blame Nettenyahu, and settlers from Eastern Europe who ought to know better.

    Pro-Palestine yobs have hurled explosives at police and more than 150 people have been arrested following a day of chaos in Central London following the pro-Palestine march which has led to calls for the Met Police chief Sir Mark Rowley to resign.

    In a statement on X, the Metropolitan Police said: “Officers have detained a breakaway group of around 150 people from the pro-Palestinian demonstration in Grosvenor Place. The group were firing fireworks and many are wearing face coverings. Officers are using their Section 60 and 60AA powers to detain and search those involved.”
    Footage showed yobs launching fireworks at police as conditions deteriorated in central London following a pro-Palestine march from Hyde Park to the US Embassy.

    Train stations have also been targeted and Michael Gove was mobbed as he made his way through Victoria Station as he attempted to catch a train. On X, Reform Party leader Richard Tice said: “Suella Braverman was right Hate march, public disorder, antisemitism everywhere Sir Mark Rowley must resign, 9 am Monday morning.”

    Elsewhere, police made over 90 arrests of counter-protesters after violence broke out in central London with missiles being thrown and fights breaking out.

    Let us not forget that today and tommorow we are remembering some of the victims of Socialism.

    Socialism is a failed religion, inspired of Satan, the only success it has had in the spread of misery hopelessness and death. Nothing not even malaria has ended as many lives as Socialism has in the time the two have been co-existant.
    It doesn’t matter where Socialism is tried the result are always the same – death and misery save for a small number.

    Remembering those who died at the hands of the Socialists is not enough, we must all tell the story of why they died and what killed them.

    And don’t forget that the SNP and the BBC were deeply comitted to the Nazi cause in the BBC case only expediency saved Reith

    300,000 attend pro-Palestinian march as about 100 counter-protesters arrested
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-67390343

    About 100 being 90 then BBC. Why not ‘about 80’ ?.

    Why not mention the 150 pro-Palestinian people arrested ?.

    This is bias in the extreme. Each time they get away with their agenda-based headlines, they push it even further the next time.

    OFCOM should be the first up against the wall when the revolution comes.

    What a complete farce.

    BBC Scotland’s Sportscene programme.

    Presenter Steven Thompson says, “Before today’s matches, stadiums up and down the country fell silent to mark Armistice Day, a moment to remember those who have lost their lives in conflict across the world.

    NO, IT ISN’T.

    Armistice Day is to remember the service personnel who willingly sacrificed their lives to preserve OUR freedom in two world wars and in conflicts since.

    Other countries have their own versions of Remembrance Day on which they remember their own people who died for their country.

    We are definitely NOT remembering everybody who has died in every single conflict across the world – and especially not in the current war in Gaza, which I suspect was in Steven Thompson’s mind.

    If the Beeboids would like us to remember Palestinian terrorists and Muslim martyrs in the commemoration, they’ve got another think coming.

    Mahyar Tousi points out the discrepancy between media (BBC) reports of ‘Far-right’ disturbances, and the good natured marchers HE met when he was actually there, at those very same events which are being misrepresented.

    There was indeed a handful of masked guys there to cause trouble, but they were repudiated by the peaceful majority (and I would suggest may well have been false-flag provocateurs anyway).

    Suella Braverman row: Who’s scared of Rishi Sunak?
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-67390200

    Todays contribution to their desperate attempts to get rid of Barverman. From the appalling BBC darling Keuenessberg no less:

    ‘Rishi Sunak is never going to cosplay some kind of political hard man.

    But he faces a political danger right now that every moment longer he keeps his headline-happy home secretary on, that fear falls away.’

    She knows she doesn’t even need to disguise her contempt. Now this pathetic activist is attacking Sunak personally to try and pressure him into sacking Braverman.

    Once again the BBC are on the wrong side of the public who are forced to fund them.

    I wonder why their ethics disgust me so much yet nobody else in the MSM ever talks about it.

      Simply put, the WEF, UN, EU puppet BBC have been using every underhand trick they can to knock off Brexiteers from the referendum onwards.

      Johnson was a major prize, likewise Cummings. Braverman would be worth multiple points too….

      The question the Conservatives need to ask themselves before any knee-jerk reaction is who will be next if the BBC get Braverman out?
