    This is Karen. I found her today in a protest in Bath holding a placard with the names and ages of my 21 family members killed by Israel last month.
    The amount of love, sympathy and care I receive from the British people here is magnificent.
    God bless you.

    But Ahmed might look closer to home for those responsible.

    I wonder if you complained to the #HamasNazis who were voted into office in 2006.
    “We must sacrifice our women, children and elderly to manipulate the media and the world to get them on our side”. [Ismail Haniyeh] #HamasNazis

    As ever, who knows who is telling the truth?

    But certainly the BBC’s dire attempts to pretend they do make them more untrustworthy by the hour.

    I’ve noticed on a couple of Talk TV programs (Kevin O Sullivan’s What just happened and That was the woke that was) that there’s a huge amount of loud laughing by the guests.
    First of all you miss half of what’s being said and secondly it gets on your nerves happening all the time.

    Is it a new thing that some people on shows laugh loudly at every little thing because they think that viewers will think they are a fun person?

    I just turn over when it becomes apparent that all the guests just want to ‘outlaugh’ each other.
    It’s as bad as the cacophony when two or more guests keep talking over each other.

    On a similar vein, when watching the now extremely woke University Challenge, do any of you miss the beginnings of questions because the audience clap after every answer?

      I only watched Neil Oliver talking about censorship and the hypnotised morons who care more about horrid words than deaths and murder.

      Tomorrow I will be watching Free Speech Nation and the Dinosaur Hour on GB News from 7pm to 10pm. Then from 10pm to midnight I will be watching channel 38. Seven doctors who treated President Kennedy in Hospital in 1963 confirm other evidence that he was killed by the CIA.

      So to prevent Biden losing the election, will the CIA lock up Trump in Guantanamo Bay and assassinate Kennedy again?

    BBc shits in a nutshell:

    “BBC Africa Editor hired by rapist Yaqub Ahmed’s lawyers to give evidence in his appeal to block deportation to Somalia

    Mary Harper appeared at first tier immigration tribunal as an expert witness.

    Answering questions before three immigration judges, Ms Harper warned Ahmed could be targeted by terror group Al Shabaab because it would want to ‘punish’ him for raping a 16-year-old girl in London.

    She claimed he could be harassed by Somali security forces and wrongly labelled a British spy. He would also, she feared, struggle to find a job in Mogadishu’s booming construction industry as he lacked the right skills.

    Astonishingly, this was not the first time Ms Harper had given evidence in a case involving a foreign sex attacker attempting to dodge deportation.

    Indeed, a Mail on Sunday investigation can reveal that Ms Harper has given expert evidence in at least eight contentious immigration cases since 2013, including in support of a Somali who committed a horrific sexual assault on a profoundly deaf teenage girl.”

    After enduring five years of unbearable torment, they were the words Hannah feared she would never hear: ‘He’s gone’. As she sat nervously on the edge of her bed and peered into her mobile phone, a senior Home Office official gently informed her, via a video call three months ago, that Yaqub Ahmed, one of a gang of men who viciously raped her when she was 16, had finally been kicked out of Britain.

    For Hannah (not her real name), the news that her brutal attacker’s audacious campaign to use human rights laws to avoid deportation had finally been defeated was overwhelming.

    To Hannah’s fury, the three-and-a-half minute clip showed the passengers erupting into applause as he was hauled off the Turkish Airlines flight at Heathrow, with one declaring: ‘You’re free, man!’ Years later those images continue to haunt her.

    In a direct message to those ‘bleeding heart’ passengers who intervened she now says: ‘If you were that courageous to stand up for him then, why not now be courageous and apologise for what you did? You are the reason that he was still here. You thought you were being such heroes but all you did was keep the predator here and torture me for years.’

    Hannah’s life changed forever in August 2007 following a night out at the Zoo Bar in London’s Leicester Square. After becoming separated from her friend, she was approached by a group of men who persuaded her to go to a flat in Crouch End, North London, on the false pretext that her friend was waiting for her.

    It was only when she arrived at the dingy flat that she realised she had been lured into a terrifying trap. The men took it in turns to rape her and one of them even attempted to take photographs during the horrifying attack. She was punched in the face as she desperately attempted to escape.

    Her piercing screams could be heard by the 999 operator who answered an emergency call from concerned neighbours.

    Police officers rushed to the scene and found Ahmed and his associates hiding in the flat.

    Ahmed, then 19, and living in Clerkenwell, North London; Adnan Mohamud, 19; and Adnan Barud, 21, from Holloway, North London, were each jailed for nine years for planning and carrying out the rape. A fourth man, Ondogo Ahmed, 19, also of Holloway, received eight years for conspiracy to rape.”

    The Hannibal directive again. Israel kills its own citizens, blames Palestinians, and uses it as the pretext to massacre them
    And every single time, the western media claims any question of Israeli propaganda is antisemitism

    She is quoting an ‘investigation’ quoted by a WaPo journalist, hence TNI endorsed.

    Seems worth clarifying one way or other.

    Look at this:

    ‘Time: Short prison sentence ‘derailed’ woman’s life’
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-67429316

    ‘The impact of short prison sentences on women and their families is a central theme of the latest BBC One prison drama Time.’

    The BBC at it’s finest. And when I say ‘finest’, I mean using every dirty trick without conscience to push their own feminist/misandrist activist agenda.

    This article is about poor ‘Martha’ whose life was ruined because she spent 4 months in jail. They are falling over themselves to present her as the innocent victim who did not deserve it.

    Lets see what else we can glean:

    Martha was jailed in 2016 after committing “petty and pathetic crimes”. Note the quotes – which is a BBC trick to say anything at all which does not need to be true. It doesn’t say whose words they are of course – but from the context I think they are Marthas own !!.

    Then we can pick out cluse to the truth we aren’t being told.

    It seems these ‘petty and pathetic crimes’ were ‘to fund her heroin use – stealing a car jack from a garage, some artificial flowers from a front garden and a purse containing £3’

    So she is a heroin addict. And steals to fund it. Are we really supposed to believe that she just stole £3 ?. The point of that purse is that she didn’t know how much was in it when she stole it.

    ‘”It was awful to walk into someone’s house like that, I don’t want to take away from the severity of doing that,” she says.’

    So she is a smack-head who actually went into people houses and stole what she could find ?.

    Damn right she should be sent to prison. These people are the lowest form of scum who will do ANYTHING to get a fix. Including steal from their own family.

    After prison we learn:

    “I ended up in another toxic, damaging relationship, lost hope of gainful employment and life got exponentially worse,” she says. “Prison left me feeling really awful about myself. I told myself I was just a scummy junkie who didn’t deserve good things.”

    So ALL of this is because she went to prison is it BBC ?. None of it is her own fault ?. What is the point of this – to get a rule that smack-head women don’t go to prison when they go stealing ?. But of course the men still will won’t they ?.

    The more I read this article, the more the BBC agenda in it disgusted me.

    I remember the original series and it was very good. Now they have hijacked a name AGAIN to load it up with agenda. And Jodie Whittaker is doing the honours of ruining something else made popular by men again.

    Lets see what BBC clone wrote this:

    1591704630963?e=2147483647&v=beta&t=p_epnK4XOEVYlifLldf87vfnUpAdp16eS7DUobmmWRA

    It’s just pathetic. Please somebody put the BBC out of our misery.

      Always ask of news items
      “Is this news or is it PR ?”
      Is the item really about Martha ?
      It starts
      “The impact of short prison sentences on women and their families is a central theme of the latest BBC One prison drama Time”
      So it’s PR for a new BBC prog

      Is it cutNpaste for an org ?
      Yes it massively quotes The Prison Reform Trust.
      So it’s also PR for that org

      What is crime about ? It’s about VICTIMS
      eg you have a panic attack cos you got to work and realise you forgot to lock your back door. or your car. That shouldn’t matter except for smackheads who take advantage .
      You spend part of your earnings on security measures like CCTV and locks
      .. they are a cost of a society with smackheads.

        Well, we all know now that the BBC don’t care one bit about victims if they don’t fit the agenda. Just imagine the empathy they could lay on the victims of this smackhead if it suited them. The poor old woman who lives on her own and is scared to go out walks into her kitchen to find a smackhead stranger going through her drawers for example.

        It’s a new BBC drama which is pushing what BBC activists want to change in the real world, but under the heading ‘drama’ they have no responsibility to represent the truth at all. They will mix agenda lies with the truth and nobody will know the difference.

        No doubt we will get regular front-page articles as lopsided as this one discussing the issues raised in ‘tonights show’ when it airs.

        IMHO it represents a new low in the desperation of the BBC for their feminist/misandrist social engineering in the face of a dwindling audience.

    “At time of writing, the #freepalestine tag has 25.5 billion views, and #standwithisrael has 440.4 million views.”

    Trouble for them was, you can take the hate preacher out of the dish dash, but he still is a Kuffar screamer inside. So he was quietly shipped to the USA, ending up like Nish until picked up by MSNBC.

    Like Champion, I did not think he was stupid, but too often corrupted by faith based conviction.

    However, here he sums up just how the media view the totality of the world.

    No wonder they want to dispose of secret ballot voting in favour of a new form of mob rule.

      Another LGBT story about gay sexuality teaching in Catholic Schools.
      A Palestinian in Israel feeling vulnerable.
      Muslim MPs voting against SirKeer.

      There was one small bright moment.
      An admission that Muslims vote Labour. We knew this already but crucially it was stated as fact via a polling company research.

      So if Muslims vote Labour and the cross channel rubber ferries are mainly populated by young male Muslims we can see that over time the Tories are digging their own graves and Labour will do nothing other than encourage them as an exercise in vast scale gerrymandering.

    One orgasmic headline crescendo edition

    It’s one of those days when our headlines require little in the way of additional critical or indeed satirical commentary – but nonetheless, here goes…

    By the way – this edition: Includes crony contracts, duff deals & failed legal cases – strapline borrowed from the Sunday Mirror – you’d think having spotted all this graft and wastage the left would be more wary of government – nope, they see the problems with the state running things but the solution is that they just want more of the state

    In sports news

    Exclusive Wed Prem ace beds model (Daily Star Sunday) – not news.

    News from the capital

    Khan misled the public over Ulez benefits (Telegraph) – as they used to say oop north “well, I’ll go to the foot of our stairs”

    Asylum farce that beggars belief (Mail on Sunday) – no change there then.

    ‘Terror cell’ sneaks in on small boats (Sunday Express) – Cockleshell ISIS?

    The Cockleshell Heroes was a 1955 British war film with Trevor Howard, Anthony Newley, Christopher Lee etc… The film depicts a heavily fictionalised version of Operation Frankton, the December 1942 raid… by British Royal Marines Commandos, who infiltrated Bordeaux Harbour using folding kayaks. (Thank you Wiki) – oh how the tables have been turned on us.

    Bye Bye boring admin – runs the advertising copy from sofware and outsourcing company MHR, care of the frontpage of the Sunday Times.

    We do enjoy an amusing juxtaposition of features – so we’ll pair that slogan: Bye Bye boring admin with this report from the Sunday Telegraph: Remote civil servants can ‘work from beach’… The senior civil servants’ FDA union has repeatedly argued that many of its members have connections outside the UK and should be eligible for ‘international remote working’ (Telegraph) – which tends to segueway us neatly to the headline Telegraph story: PM deploys Whitehall officials to Rwanda as revolt grows

    ‘Revolt grows’…? Was there some coup in the central African statelet this week about which we haven’t heard due to the heavy focus on Palestine?

    There’s me imagining jeep-loads of AK47-clutching black soldiers in multi-coloured berets worn at jaunty angles heading off to secure the radio station and the water works…

    However, closer to home…

    …revolt grows… More Tory MPs speak out against Sunak as he scrambles to save deportation scheme (Telegraph)

    Taxpayer cash squandered – complains the Sunday Mirror, somewhat out of its default high-spending preference socialist character – but then we remind ourselves that pointing to government wastage is fair game – at least while Starmer’s seat-warmer wet Tories are still in power: Staggering £100bn of Tory waste… £1,500 blown for every person in UK since election – despite Lockdown?

    That report pairs rather neatly with: Families near new pylons to get £1k off bills (Telegraph)

    I’m reminded of how Labour introduced the NHS by stuffing the doctors’ mouths with gold…

    Reports from the UN about hospitals in Gaza are not simply grist to the BBC’s mill – they are like every NHS winter crisis alarm, supranational body criticism of Britain and then Ramadan, all come together in one orgasmic headline crescendo: WHO says Gaza’s al-Shifa hospital a death zone, as hundreds leave

    Well, that BBC headline is pretty climactic – until tomorrow’s one comes along of course.

    Ah, I see that Jeremy Bowen has been bowing to terrorists again – as the GB News link still seems to be up for grabs, let me join in (although I would hardly use the word “unambiguous” to describe their headline “BBC outrage at ‘Hamas apologism’ in latest Israel report”):

    https://www.gbnews.com/news/bbc-hamas-reporting-apology-israel-war

    “Daniel Sugarman, Director of Public Affairs for the Board of Deputies of British Jews, has condemned the BBC’s reporting.
    “Writing on social media, he said: “Ah, I see the BBC has reached the ‘maybe the pile of Kalashnikovs in the Gazan hospital actually belonged to the hospital security team’ stage of their Israel reporting.””

    Sky News is equally sickening – when President Isaac Herzog of Israel made a statement, they very quickly added something like, “Sky News could not independently verify the claim”. That is a terrible slur on his integrity. Would Sky News add the same caveat to an Arab leader? And of course they apply it to practically everything the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) says. Despicable!

    Shame on Sky and the BBC!

    The latest BBC attempts to discredit Israel:

    ‘Israel’s military has raided the hospital in recent days, as part of what it describes as a “targeted operation against Hamas”, but is yet to provide substantial evidence to back up its claim that the group conducted a major operation in tunnels underneath the medical complex.’

    So the BBC are now the arbiters of what is enough evidence. Pictures of weapons + tunnel entrances and confirmation by USA intelligence is not enough.

    Bowen has turned into a spiteful schoolboy.

    Odd how they never question Hamas to provide evidence to justify anything.

    The BBC are really showing their true colours with this. It can only help us rid ourselves of them in the long run.

    “Palestinian supporters step on a puppy wrapped in the Israeli flag.
    They also attach a zip tie and string around the young puppy’s neck to the Palestinian flag as they smile and laugh.”

    He doesn’t STEP on a puppy , he puts his foot over it for a photo
    They don’t seem to kill it or anything
    Earliest sighting is 22 Oct apparently Egypt
    There is a 18 October Tik Tok of same puppy

    TWoTWeee Watch #1 – the BBC have moved on from bashing Braverman …

    …. and back to bashing Bibi. I lost count of the number of times that Jonny Dymond had someone say that the Bibi Netanyahu government in Israel was bad. The BBC even managed to get in a dig at former President Trump.

      International men’s day:

      ‘Promote Men’s Health: Encourage men to prioritize their physical and mental health by seeking medical advice and support when needed.’
      ‘Advocate for Gender Equality: Promote gender equality and challenge harmful stereotypes and behaviors that affect both men and women.’
      ‘Support Positive Masculinity: Celebrate positive male role models and encourage boys and men to express their emotions and vulnerabilities.’
      ‘Organize Events: Host events, seminars, workshops, or panel discussions that address men’s issues, such as mental health, fatherhood, and career development.’
      ‘Engage in Mentorship: Support mentorship programs that connect boys and young men with positive male role models in their communities.’
      ‘Recognize Achievements: Acknowledge and celebrate the achievements and contributions of men in various fields and industries.’

      Reads a bit more like ‘Change men to be more like women day’ for some of those.

      Lets see what it says for ‘International Womens Day’:
      ‘celebrate women’s achievements’
      ‘educate and awareness raise for women’s equality’
      ‘call for positive change advancing women’
      ‘lobby for accelerated gender parity’
      ‘fundraise for female-focused charities’

      Seems like the women get the best of it again !.

      It seems I am always being told by the BBC and the other misandrists how everyone is racist against BAME and sexist against women. Yet from my viewpoint, all I ever see in my life is a lot of anti-male sexism and anti-white racist discrimination.

      I’ll just file it under ‘Extreme Leftist hypocrisy and double standards’ with all the others.

    The IDF have found a long tunnel under a Gaza hospital- allegedly – according to the BBC – I’m sure the Israelis dug it themselves and planted guns in it and that the peace loving Islamic Hamas freedom fighters had nothing to do with it ….

      The state of febrility and lack of trust… with governments and media as well as those peace loving disembowelers’ sokseGoPros… means the usual suspects* can easily keep this going without pause by simply howling ‘genocide’, ;rivers and stuff’, ‘children’, ‘doctors without AK46s’.

      *The now amorphous blob of outrage that sways between JSo to Hamas PR in Islington and back again, with sidebars to Greenville. They have too much invested in this selective faux griefwank to stop now.

      But the bit really grinding my gears is the cover provided to them by the MSM, if not outright promotion.

      Think of all who have ‘graced’ BBC studios before and recently… Hasan, Novara, Champion, Corbyn… usually to only be offered a platform.

      My twitter feed is utterly swapped by Khans, Mos, Husains, and useful idiot Trevors sharing selective propaganda, emotive wibble or the occasional ‘not enough dead jews’. At least they and Mishal are honest.

      All in name of kicking off here about a small war nowhere near.

      And no mention of the initiating act, hostages, etc, or the fact that even small kids can man an RPG if motivated.

      Durham college Sahar Shehadeh says she supports Hamas.
      She says history was made that day (on 10/7) & she would love it if Hamas did it again, & again, & again & again, & again.

      I think Bowen has declared it has to be a major command and control nerve centre before it justifies anything those nasty Israelies did.

      What irks me the most is how he has totally ignored the fact the it is beyong doubt Hamas WERE fighting from the hospital. He’s just changed his argument with conscience or remorse.

      Which puts him lower than what I trod in today in my book.

      Let’s not forget the calibre of reporter we are talking about:

    BBC local newsPR
    “Oh look here were are at the Humber View Hotel near North Ferriby .. people were worried there would be trouble”
    If there have been no local victims , then that is good
    Now why would there be this PR piece ?

    #1 The hotel plans to DOUBLE in capacity from around 78 to 152
    So 78 is a relatively small number

    #2 They referenced Scampton as if buttering people up
    Scampton has plans for 2000

    We all know that the biased BBC will go to extremes to find ‘victims’ and ‘unfair situations’.

    But this takes the biscuit.

    On Countryfile, the well-known Islingtonia version of the countryside.

    In Northumberland there is a valley where the houses are not connected to the electricity grid. It has always been this way.

    But this doesn’t stop the BBC running a huge long feature about how awful it is.

    Weirdly the families concerned seem to take it in their stride. It’s the BBC that seems to find it so awful.

    Interesting to see how people live but not so interesting to see the BBC victim agenda.

    In desperation to find a news outlet that gives a more concise breakdown of the action against Hamas, I have stumbled across the Times of Israel. It seems I am not the only one. The site now boasts a 600% increase in traffic for October, making it the fastest growing news website in the world that month.

    Several critical statements can be found by readers who have left comments regarding the bias and limp-wristedness of the BBC and CNN.

    A single malt beckons.

    But before I go we have started watching a Netflix series called ‘The Defeated’.

    It is set in immediate post Nazi collapse Berlin, with the ‘zones’ in process of being established. The Russians appear dominant inasmuch as they seem able to go where they please and off who they fancy.

    The premise is a possible (two episodes in) love triangle between a US cop sent to sort out a nascent German ‘police’ force in the US sector, headed by a married blonde with a missing hubby.

    There is also some psycho stuff brewing but more on a serial killer basis. Just to keep the gore factory going.

    However, so far I have been interested in parallels.

    As any fule no, as things were crumbling around him, Adolf was not above getting old minions and supportive acolytes to get kids to person the Panzerfausts. So street by street was… messy.

    And stuff was lying around. And scores got settled, even after the ceasefire.

    Leaping ahead, I have little recollection of Russian suppression activity garnering much global outrage at the time. So it was messy for a while.

    But then things settled, and today even the wall is down and Germany prospers.

    That said, Germany does now seem to have a fair bunch of domestic nutterdom kicking off again after actually taking the loss better than the previous time, but again has not secured the oil supply before getting dragged into something silly with the neighbours.

    Will be interesting how the series pans out. And if history is being reflected as it is repeated.

      Do let us know if it’s worth watching.

      In my experience, truth went out the window when the facist Left took over somewhere between 2000 and 2010.For example, ‘Chernobyl’ had strong women who stood up to ‘the men b@stards’ inserted where they never actually existed.

      I give a new show 10 minutes. If a black person or a woman appears in a scene they would NEVER have been in in real life than I can’t watch it.

      If you see a fleeting glimpse of any BAME during the first few minutes, you can be 100% certain they will be a main character in the plot.

      Good luck …

      Come to think of it… a lot kicked off with various cross border incursions and ‘peace’s in our times’ with the Polish Jewish population finding out pretty quickly that when a despotic regime decides to purge another faith they get on it asap.

    One week, Lab MPs are furious that Suella said “hate marches”.
    The next week, the same Lab MPs are complaining about pro Palestine mobs targeting them & their families.
    Perhaps they should take their colleague, Naz Shah’s advice & “shut their mouths. For the good of diversity.”

      All UK councillors have been contacted demanding they sign a letter calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza & claiming that “antisemitism is being weaponised…to absolve Israel of any accountability”.
      It says councillors who do not sign will have their names publicised.

      Sinister indeed. Request to ‘or else’ in a few paras.

        Bowen will just ignore it. Like everything else which doesn’t suit his pro-Hamas narrative. He doesn’t care one jot about those hostages.

        The more this goes on, the more I realise what a truly vile person he is. I used to just laugh at him. I’m not laughing now.

        At least Sopes is just a harmless idiot who has no clue what a complete buffoon he is. When you scrape through Bowens hypocrisy and virtue-signalling, you realise he is as evil as any other far-left activist.

          I disagree – I think Bowen will say the tunnels were not very long or deep and were probably just used to feed the freedom fighters and provide ‘prayer space ‘ or address their social needs such as bingo or watching ManU lose again ….

            I might agree with you for that – but now they have released video of a tunnel, I think the stupendous lefty hypocrite will just change the subject. Someone else will cover this now.

            Never forget that left-wing activists are the biggest frauds the planet has ever seen. They will say or ignore anything as long as it fits their agenda.

      a few years ago The Canadian , Lauren Southern set a LGBT stall up in Luton Town Centre.
      She is now banned from ever coming back here on the grounds of “terrorism”.
      Lauren Southern got banned from the UK officially because she offended Muslims with a social experiment where she stated God is for everyone, even gays and LGBT.
      Here is the tract she was giving in the streets of Luton.
