        Most MPs in Westminster are rudderless eejits and those in the devolved assemblies are below the bar for eejit.

        I feel that the Sir Humphreys have had their way for far, far too long without taking any responsibility for the consequences of their actions. Look at that bluidy traitor Emma Haddad in charge of immigration.

        The entire public sector is out of control. I cannot think of a single public body that’s had a proper spanking for naughtiness in the last decade.

      “Labour hopes to cut net migration to around 200,000”
      …………….

      The huge increases in migrants over the last decade were partly due to a politically motivated attempt by ministers to radically change the country and “rub the Right’s nose in diversity”, according to Andrew Neather, a former adviser to Tony Blair, Jack Straw and David Blunkett.23 Oct 2009

      When Jamaica gained independence in 1962, the murder rate was 3.9 per 100,000 inhabitants, one of the lowest in the world. In 2021, Jamaica had 1,474 murders, for a murder rate of 52 per 100,000 people, the highest murder rate in the world.

    “‘Maybe you have lost your moral compass’: Fury at Ireland PM Leo Varadkar as he’s accused of ‘legitimising and normalising terror’ after saying freed hostage Emily Hands was ‘lost’ and ‘has now been found’

    Mr Varadkar said Emily had been ‘lost’ and ‘has now been found and returned’
    The message prompted a furious response from Israel’s Foreign Minister.

    ‘Emily Hand was kidnapped by a terrorist organisation worse than ISIS after her stepmother was murdered.

    ‘Emily and over 30 other Israeli children were kidnapped by Hamas, and you are trying to legitimatise it. Shame on you !’

    As the row escalated Ireland’s ambassador to Israel Sonya McGuinness was summoned to the Foreign Ministry for an explanation.

    Mr Cohen said:’Following the outrageous words of the Prime Minister of Ireland about the release of Emily Hand, who was kidnapped to Gaza by the terrorist organisation Hamas, I summoned the Irish ambassador to Israel for a reprimand.’

    While the Ireland Israel Alliance labelled the post as ‘very embarrassing’ and urged Mr Varadkar to ssue a follow up message.”

    We have been betrayed on both immigration and on Brexit .
    The government have been “kicking the can down the road” ever since they have been in power .
    Remember these bluff lines of “Take Back Control” & “Stop the boats”?
    Those words will comeback to bite them in the ever closer, looming , general election.

      I heard a piece on R4 yesterday which was meant to ‘break down ‘ exactly who the 750000 foreigners arriving in the UK are …. But few numbers came out – in fact – just one – 100 000 on care worker visas – the ‘majority ‘ are students and family – but one thinks they are not real students and have no intention of leaving …
      We ve been played – and this will continue ….

      … there was also discussion about ‘populist ‘ voting – with just a mention that the UK is the only country in Europe without any ‘populists ‘ in their parliament …..
      ‘Populist ‘ like the term ‘Far Right ‘ is the language of the Far Left BBC …. Neither term is ever defined – but used as a term of abuse – when it really should be one to be proud of ..

      …. And there are adverts for the Reith Lectures – attacks on democracy – comedy eh ? There is no democracy in the UK – it’s a one party state propaganda message – where we are distracted by minor variations on the same theme – blue socialism or red socialism ….

        Let’s face it – the policing by consent model was based on the public support for plod . But plod went political long ago – and is no longer representative of the the majority public it is meant to serve . Instead it favours minorities and various woke trash .

        As a result it will pay a price . Consent is declining – now it’s just a political arm of the state – enforcing laws against selected targets and looking the other way for other – more powerful groups ( see Muslims – queers – the far left ) ….

    BBC Parliament
    20 October 2023

    We have reviewed our use of on-screen captions during an Adjournment Debate at the House of Commons called ‘Trends in Excess Deaths’. There were concerns that the captions, which outlined the NHS guidance on vaccines for Covid-19 and other diseases, showed bias against Andrew Bridgen MP who was making a speech that challenged the Government’s position on the safety and efficacy of the Covid-19 vaccines. It is normal practice to provide accurate information and context to these debates on screen and in this case it was an important aspect of our coverage due to the nature of the assertions being made in relation to public health. However, we accept that there was a lack of consistency in our use of these captions and that the number posted during the speech was not proportionate, nor always relevant, which created the incorrect impression that there was an editorial approach in relation to the views expressed. We apologise for this and are reviewing the way we use captions during such proceedings.

    In addition, one of the captions stated “Official vaccines do not cause allergies or any other conditions and do not contain mercury (thiomersal)”. This caption should have been attributed to the NHS and would have been clearer if it had read: “NHS guidance says serious allergic reactions to vaccines are rare and that vaccines can sometimes cause mild side effects. They do not contain mercury (thiomersal)”.

      For those if us wondering what the hell is thiomersal, its this stuff which may or may not be part of your vaccination program. They have removed it presumably when it has highlighted by none other than –Robert F. Kennedy -with three others back in the US.
      ‘pfizer’ were the head of this global US vaccination program with Fauci, who tried to deny any involvement… although was investing in ‘gain of function’ virus for a small drugs consortium using who hoped to set a global market for such as epidemic crisis. But just sold to ‘western nations’ who has signed up to the UN Agenda (21). The exact date, for its release.

      Its basically Pfizer Mercury poisoning, they are talking about above in the UK. Ours was AstraZeneca, which I doubt would have contained Mercury by law. But it still killed Children and adults through heart attacks.

      Incidentally both were found ‘harmful’ and have side affects, particularly he very old and children who have since died of blood clots. Many in the UK.

      Kennedy has a video on the links to China and big Pharma here.

      Vaccine death overtake COVID.
      https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/warning-for-teenagers-as-vaccine-deaths-overtake-covid-2/

      And the COVID inquiry will not state the deaths caused by mis-diagnosis of the epidemic that may or may not have existed.

      But we do know the US was funding it privately, via Pfizer, who hope to make a killing literally financially. It even has links back the UN claiming its the end of ‘UN Agenda 21’ and linked to climate change for a ‘global reset’ plan. Highlighted by the WEF as an ‘opportunity’.

      In short, we will never know for sure. But FAUCI was somehow involved in the cover up that followed the ‘escape’ of the so called Bat virus.

      But its also know that the details of the VIRUS ‘cure’ was never published and still remains a mystery. The Vaccination program actually compounded and spread the ‘virus’ x251 times, so that was the transmission.

      Its as if they wanted to make us ill. I wonder why.
      https://odysee.com/@DavidKnightShow:1/Oxford-Finds-Vaccinated-Have-251X%E2%80%99s-Viral-Load-as-Unvaccinated:6

      Interestingly, those that were caught COVID labs (Wuhan) in China all recovered and live to this day to tell the tale. The Chinese deny an involvement in its release although some Chinese were killed, mainly as it attacked the old and infirm.

      It has since been downgraded to a flu like symptom. The NHS are inclined to give you a boost if your interested in becoming a statistic.

    From the DT – an account by a Jewish barrister of her experience with Islamic Hamas / its ‘spokesman -the BBC – enjoy –

    STARTS Last week, the BBC’s Executive Complaints Unit refused to uphold complaints about the BBC News Channel’s coverage of the situation in Gaza, including its serious propagation of false information about the Al-Ahli hospital in Gaza City on 17 October 2023.

    Effectively acting as a mouthpiece for the Hamas terrorist organisation, BBC News outlets ran with variations on “hundreds feared dead or injured in Israeli air strike on hospital in Gaza, Palestinian officials say”. The caveat of the source for this claim being Hamas was lost entirely as commentators mused on the frequency of Israeli war crimes and alleged that Israel habitually targets civilians. The disinformation from the “trusted” BBC was further disseminated by high-profile individuals, including the Archbishop of Canterbury.

    The BBC’s subsequent walk-back from its initial reporting has involved gross misrepresentations of what was actually said, and what BBC officials claim was meant by it. The explanation the network finally offered did not even address its most disturbing failure. It shunned its responsibility for wilfully broadcasting false information when it had been warned. I know because I was there.

    I was booked for an interview at 19:00 that evening to address and analyse the application of the law of armed conflict to the developing situation. At 19.10, while waiting on the line for the live broadcast, I received a call from George Mann, assistant editor of the BBC News Channel, to tell me they would have to “bump” me off to run with the rolling coverage of the “Israeli airstrike” on the hospital. Mr Mann was apologetic, and insistent that I would be invited back as soon as possible. Thus began my bid to appeal to reason, common sense and basic journalistic integrity.

    I had been watching the coverage that evening already in disbelief. I explained that now, more than ever, the channel needed me on to provide balance. There was a desperate need to keep to the BBC’s commitments of due accuracy and impartiality. I had already seen many online reports that the incident had occurred in the context of a barrage of rockets from Gaza towards Israeli civilian communities. The BBC’s line simply didn’t add up.

    I explained: there are things we don’t know and things we do know. At this moment, we don’t know who or what hit that hospital (it later transpired to be only the car park that was hit). We do know, however, that, unlike Hamas, Israel does not target civilian or protected individuals or buildings.

    We know that Hamas and other Palestinian terror organisations keep weapons caches in and around schools and hospitals. We know that the rockets they fire towards Israel frequently fall short in Gaza, indiscriminately killing civilians there. We knew by then also that the BBC had, a few days previously, similarly wrongly attributed the bombing of a civilian convoy evacuating to the south of Gaza (US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan had earlier that day confirmed that this had been a Hamas attack).

    I appealed to reason. I could predict the impact that spreading disinformation about the hospital would have on the Arab world, incited as it was in the hours that followed to riot by these false reports.

    My pleas, though I was informed they were relayed up to the editor himself, fell on deaf ears. Reports of a rocket barrage towards Israel were not being seen on any of the wires, came the retort. I was told the BBC’s story had been confirmed by multiple sources. Yet we know that any “Palestinian official” in Gaza is a Hamas official, and not a source that any self-respecting journalist can take seriously. Parroting Hamas propaganda is not journalism. The call ended abruptly. I was told there wasn’t time to discuss this further.

    The false allegation of Israeli war crimes continued. The damage it has done is irreversible.

    I maintained a naïve hope that, with further opportunities to address this disinformation on air, the truth would out. But after my interview the next week with Katya Adler, I was stonewalled by BBC producers and executives, and their promotion of Hamas propaganda has continued.

    The consequences of its coverage are plain and on regular display in the hate marches on the streets of the UK. The Met Police recorded an increase of over 1,000 per cent in anti-Semitic hate crimes in October. The BBC has become a national broadcasting disservice. ENDS

    I know I wrote about this yesterday. BUT this is the biased
    BBC website so i will write about it again !
    The BBC believe that the number one entertainment we
    want to see is DRAG. Men dressed up as women.
    So what better way of advancing this than having a
    fellow in a pink dress winning “Strictly . ” Yes , he ,
    can dance very well that’s why he dances in musicals in
    West End Shows !! BUT what is he doing in a programme
    supposed to be about former tennis players or TV news
    readers achieving amazingly high standards on the dance
    floor?
    We have Craig Revel Horwood who generally looks for
    perfection before giving high scores. bending over backwards ,
    so to speak telling us how marvellous he is. Well he would.
    Because he is a DANCER ! That’s the fellow in the pink dress.
    You could see head judge Shirley Ballas’s reaction when she
    knew that the rest of the judges were going to keep the
    fellow in the pink dress in the competition ,when she wouldn’t
    of.
    OK BBC your love of DRAG , drags on . Maybe next week we
    will see the fellow in the pink dress wearing a bikini. And the
    tennis player can go back to Wimbledon.

    The Tommy Robinson “affair” is beginning more and
    more like a latter day analogy to the infamous Dreyfus
    affair in late 19th and early 20th century France. With
    Douglas Murray playing the part of Emile Zola the
    famous French novelist with his ” J’ accuse ” letter.
    Dreyfus was in the end vindicated of his so called crimes ,
    will Tommy Robinson ? And what of Tommy Robinson’ crimes ?
    The number one being trying to defend vulnerable girls being
    raped by Muslim men!
    Just watch Tommy when he went to the Oxford Union to
    talk about his life and believes. Is he such a monster? As the
    BBC and the rest of the media make him out to be.
    I once wrote a letter to the Jewish Chronicle which was published. Whilst not defending him for some of his ideology .and misdemeanours . But on the way he seemed and was
    picked on by the establishment.
    Perhaps his most ghastly believes , so far the liberal bigots,
    the left, the far left, the corbanysts , the anarchist Marxists
    are concerned. is his support for Israel.
    The problem yesterday was that whilst many Jews don’t know
    how much Tommy supports Israel. It is some of the scum that
    use him as a figure head could of turned yesterday’s against anti- Semitism march into something very much less peaceful.
    The police’s treatment of him yesterday was absolutely
    disgraceful. ” J’accuse”
