Allegation emerging that Epstein was a Mossad agent running a honey trap operation.
He was brought in by Robert Maxwell the man who stole the pension fund of the Mirror group employees, but was given a heroes burial on the Mount of Olives.
Prince Andrew was regarded as a useful idiot who served to give a respectable face to the operation and encouraged others to join in.
Yes I watched that, and it chimed with what I’d been able to work out prior to, however no one had been able to work out who Epstein was working for now the stories are coming out, along with one John Doe 36 who is apparantly Bill Clinton who visited Epstein Island over 50 times.
“How Jeffrey Epstein Made His Money: Four Wild Theories.
“He’s supposed to run an enormous FX [foreign-exchange] trading firm,” said Enrique Diaz-Alvarez, chief risk officer at Ebury. “But I never once heard of him or his firm or anyone who worked or traded with him.” And as Forbes wrote in a 2010 blog post with a very direct title — “Sex Offender Jeffrey Epstein Is Not a Billionaire” — his money-management firm based in the U.S. Virgin Islands “generates no public records, nor has his client list ever been released.
Epstein’s mysterious career
No one knows how much he’s worth
According to his lawyers, around the time of his notorious plea deal in Florida in 2008, Epstein’s net worth was over nine figures. The figure was “a bone of contention with Epstein’s lawyers,” Spencer Kuvin, an attorney representing three of Epstein’s alleged victims, told the Palm Beach Post in 2008. “In the litigation itself we were never able to get him to produce verified financial information. The ‘nine figures’ came by negotiation. It kept going up and up and up. They started at zero — they wouldn’t tell us at all.
As Bloomberg states, “Today, so little is known about Epstein’s current business or clients that the only things that can be valued with any certainty are his properties.
Financial Conspiracy Theory #1: Ponzi scheme
Theory #2: Blackmail
Theory #3: Epstein “Belonged to Intelligence
One of the more mysterious quotes of this whole conspiracy-adjacent mess comes from Alexander Acosta, the current Labor secretary, who arranged for Epstein to get off with just a wrist-slap in 2007, when he was a U.S. attorney. According to Vicky Ward, when Acosta was being interviewed for the Labor secretary job, he was asked if his involvement in the Epstein case would be a problem during his confirmation hearings.
Acosta had explained, breezily, apparently, that back in the day he’d had just one meeting on the Epstein case. He’d cut the non-prosecution deal with one of Epstein’s attorneys because he had “been told” to back off, that Epstein was above his pay grade. “I was told Epstein ‘belonged to intelligence’ and to leave it alone,” he told his interviewers …
Whether that’s the American intelligence community, the greater point-one-percent brain trust, or just a garbage excuse, the answer was good enough for the Trump administration to go forward with Acosta’s nomination.”
Theory #4: Offshore Tax Schemes / Money Laundering
Looks like (desperate) political advertising from here.
As Pete North said (long form) a couple of weeks ago >>>> foxtrot oscar further away than the James Webb space telescope can see, plus a few parsecs.
Keir Starmer is asked about his close adviser, Peter Mandelson’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. He says he doesn't know anything about it. Is he lying or is he incompetent?
Britain is already spending far more than it takes in in taxes, so any greater expenditure would have to be borrowed.
That would be 140Bn in just five years, and if it couldn’t be raised on the bond market it would need to be printed causing very high inflation.
I think Starmer will have to abandon this madness before he starts it.
Can somebody ask Elon Musk to recruit them as Mars Pioneers and go all “B Ark” ?
📺 "There's a wide range of policies that people come to us for."@carla_denyer speaks to BBC News about some of the reasons people will be voting for the Green Party at the general election 👇 pic.twitter.com/DAiv1vGbxM
MG100 The Green Party wants to see a world without borders, until this happens the Green Party will implement a fair and humane system of managed immigration where people can move if they wish to do so.
MG101 The Green Party believes that migration is not a criminal offence under any circumstances.
Objectives
MG200 The Green Party seeks to establish a system that recognises that all migrants are treated as citizens in waiting and therefore supports and encourages them to put down roots in their new home.
MG201 The Green Party accepts we all have a collective responsibility for the climate emergency and that the UK has a duty to support people forced to move due to the changes in their home environment, whether internally or from abroad.
Applications
MG301 All visas can be applied for on entry, while in the UK, or before entry.
MG302 All fees charged for visas will be at cost and not for profit.
MG305 Minimum income requirements will be removed from all applications as well as any benefits from having a higher income.
MG306 Language requirements will be removed from all applications. Free language classes will be made available to promote and encourage integration.
MG308 The Department of Migration will be responsible for ensuring free and independent guidance and support is available when a person’s visa is due to expire to help them make the next steps. This support will be available in an applicant’s first language if requested.
MG309 Unless standard exclusions apply, no person will be held in detention because of their immigration status.
MG500 For the purposes of this policy, visa residents are defined as migrants who have a non-visitor visa, do not have settled status and are not British citizens.
MG501 All visa residents will have the right to vote in all elections and referendums.
MG502 Access to the NHS will be free and comprehensive for all visa residents.
MG503 Any No Recourse to Public Funds conditions will be abolished and visa residents will have access to welfare benefits or Universal Basic Income.
MG902 The Green Party supports the teaching of the history of empire and colonialism, including from the viewpoint of those who were colonised.
The Epstein Files. Today a tranche of documents were released in a case involving Jeffrey Epstein. There’s no revelations. Jeffrey Epstein’s case was covered up. I can explain why.
In 2017, my lawyer Marc Randazza found a wonky freedom of the press case. There was a defamation case, and although Jeffrey Epstein wasn’t named as a defendant, the case was central to some “conspiracy theories.” Marc asked me if I wanted to file a motion to intervene. We expected it to be a simple matter.
Media interest was almost zero. No one in the “free press” cared. Then Trump nominated Alexander Acosta to the Secretary of Labor. Acosta had handled the original Epstein criminal case, and said Epstein was given kid gloves treatments due to protection from the intelligence community.
Epstein was an asset of the FBI. What his exact relation was remains sealed.
By 2019 the case I sought to intervene in had an ORANGE MAN BAD angle because Acota was Trump’s Labor Secretary. Even if the motives were impure, at least we were on to the races.
Hundreds-of-thousands of dollars later, a trip to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, and a lot of fighting, we had a batch of documents ready to be unsealed.
The weekend before the documents were made public, SDNY arrested Epstein quietly when he landed his private jet on an airport from a trip he took in France. No perp walk for Epstein.
In 2019 I wrote the following after a press conference was held re: Epstein’s arrest:
” Why didn’t the SNDY charge Jeffrey Epstein under the Mann Act? Under the Mann Act, it’s unlawful to transport an underage girl through interstate travel, including on an airplane.”
“In a widely-publicized press conference the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York announced sex trafficking charges against Jeff Epstein.”
“Epstein was charged for paying minors for massages from 2002 to 2005. Yet what was more newsworthy was the what the indictment left out.”
“The indictment against Epstein does not charge anyone except Epstein, and there’s nothing to indicate that anyone who flew to Epstein’s private island has faced scrutiny.”
“The SDNY’s actions have all of the telltale signs of containment. Because the Miami Herald and Cernovich won a civil lawsuit, leading to over 2,000 records being unsealed, it’s simply impossible for the same Feds who gave Epstein a pass years ago to continue to cover up.”
“The SDNY could have charged Epstein in 2002, 2003, 2004, or at anytime until today. Yet they did not file charges until the Second Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that previously sealed records involving Jeff Epstein would become public record.Thus they are charging him without implicating anyone else who assisted with his operation.”
You know what happened next. Epstein committed suicide.
Because SDNY charged the lowest level offenses possible, they “lacked jurisdiction” to raid Epstein’s island in Little St James, as well as his New Mexico and Paris properties. Those houses were left unattended for a couple of weeks.
During that time, a safe went missing. During the Ghislaine Maxwell trial, it was reported:
Evidence from Jeffrey Epstein’s safe ‘went missing’ after FBI raid.
What was in the safe? We’ll never know for certain. We do know that the FBI has Jeffrey Epstein’s blackmail files.
The real Jeffrey Epstein files are the blackmail material.
Very powerful forces have made sure we will never see it.

After the BBC showed little to no interest in Biden and son’s criminal financial dealings with foreign states before and during his ‘presidency’ (I use the term loosely), they’re extremely quick off the mark to repeat Democrat accusations against Trump’s legitimate business dealings.
Trump is said to have finished his term poorer than he started, unlike, say, Pelosi and Biden.
I see our friend ‘pollyanna’ has done a maxi-style hit-and-run.
Another one to add to the list.
I do note ‘it’ got 10 likes. Let’s hope we are not going to experience the latest BBC/Left scumbag trick : the troll farm.
But on the up side : when the Left start to troll us, it means they don’t like what we have to say and we’re having some effect. No doubt the BBC might try to shut us down using any dirty method they can – so we should be extra careful about the language we use and make sure we just comment on the bias, racism and sexism from the far-Left BBC (and MSM in general) themselves.
WTF has this big picture leading the article got to do with the headline ??. It’s a blatant ‘scene-setter’ to influence your opinion when you read the article.
‘A woman mourns the death of her husband in Kahn Younis, Gaza, on Thursday’
One thing which is clear : the people of Gaza have very good access to clothing. Everything they are wearing in the latest shots look brand new. And another ‘convenient’ perfect gap in the group for the shot. Just like in the canteen in ‘Are You Being Served’.
This is a trap surely you see that? Had you posted this on a different page the reponse would have been “have you no compassion”? “look at how unfeeling and heartless the ‘far right’ are”
“This is a grieving woman how could you not feel her pain”?
And if you fail to answer them correctly you are doomed.
The people of Gaza are given enormous amounts of aid, often it’s raised in the UK by Muslim communities, although most of the money goes to the ‘men’ the dopey Muslims give it to.
Spare a thought for the poor Trump-haters at the BBC, who must have been salivating at the prospect of the Epstein revelations.
Bad luck, it turns out he’s just about the only famous person who didn’t avail himself of Epstein’s services. In fact, Orange Man banned him from Mar-a-Lago.
The BBC does, however, manage to drag Trump’s name into the story anyway – perhaps hoping a little mud might stick by association – under the headline: “Why is Trump mentioned?”
The racist bbc at it again, if it were black or muslim victims, it would be trumpeted over and again :
“BBC is facing furious backlash after omitting the word ‘Jewish’ from promotional material for film telling the story of WWII hero Sir Nicholas Winton who saved kindertransport children from the Nazis
BBC didn’t say most children saved by kindertransport were Jewish in film promo.
the word ‘Jewish’ was not featured on the website of film co-producer BBC Film in its information page, saying only that Sir Nicholas saved ‘669 children’, leading to claims that Jews were being ‘written out of history’.”
Zephir do you honestly think that the current day BBC ,
the unofficial media partners of Hamas. Who wont use
the term terrorist organization , when referring to their
“partners”. Are going to mention that the Kindertransport
children were nearly all Jewish ?

To be fair, judging by the generous supply of gum boots and freshwater angling-style waders on show in Telegraph’s snap, I’m guessing these blokes perched up there on the roof of the car look more like the rescuers rather than the rescued.
Fit healthy fighting age young chaps don’t tend to need to be rescued.

“old” : age is a protected characteristic, often overlooked (when applied to white men) unlike race or gender where bbc / msm outrage at prejudice there is widespread.
“men” not protected, but just shows your sexism
“angry” if you are not angry, or at least annoyed or frustrated over some of the items discussed here which the bbc actively ignores or hides, which is why they are posted here, then you are part of the problem.
Zephir – I take the ‘echo chamber ‘ comment …. What I would really really like is for someone to come on here and defend their BBC …..
To me that is an impossible job …. Certainly if you take into account rapidly declining ratings , rapidly declining payments of TV tax , the more wider ridicule it receives , the better output by other sources –
I cannot see how just about any output can be applauded – although the shipping forecast and ‘sailing by ‘ on R4 has received enthusiast support recently ….
So – you – yes you – supporter of the BBC – come on here and make your case – or maybe just be snide and make acid comments about the views of others …..
And I promise you will be greatly welcomed and not get responses which break internet laws …
JohnC
I hope the polly person returns to defend their BBC – but some how I reckon it neither has the intellect or material to support a view that the BBC is not an evil Far Left parasite on Britain …..
The comment immediately reminded me of the ones I see on HYS which start ‘I always used to vote conservative but …’ then entire into a diatribe making it clear they are 100% Labour.
“That’s 100% leftist spite… They don’t hate what someone had to say, they hate the person for saying it.”
Let’s see. Recently I defended the BBC’s decision to cast actor David Jonsson as the lead character in “Murder is Easy”.
This was your response;
“…I expect you will get the old John Thomas out and knock one off. Partly because you are looking at black people, but mostly because of the kick you get knowing the people you hate will be infuriated by it… that’s what drives trolls like you. Extreme spite and hate at the Right along with your warped, far-Left mentality which cannot cope with the REAL world. Every day must be filled with frustration and anger… You must have a miserable life to be so full of hate… do we get Thursday because that’s the night you abuse whatever substances you partake of to cope with your demons…”.
You are a troll maxi. You don’t write things here because you believe them, you write them because you are a troll driven by hate. You never engage in debate and you have no ethical problem quoting what people say totally out of context.
Totally different thing from any political disagreement. I disagree with a few things people say here but I present my own counter arguments and consider their own argument against my own. If I still disagree I accept it as their right to have their opinion.
You are simply one of the internets bottom feeders.
But thanks for letting us know my comments sink in. I’ll make more of an effort in future.

Black women students at Harvard say Gay’s situation is a “disappointing” reminder of the ways they are undermined, no matter their success.
“As you get higher up, it doesn’t afford you more safety but makes you more subject to that scrutiny,” one said.
The copy n paste stenographer who posted that Trump piece is a Mike Wendling -a-like yank on the BBC USA payroll – a two jobber, deep state footsoldier/spearchucker.
“On Dec. 10, conservative activist Christopher Rufo and Christopher Brunet, a contributing editor at the American Conservative, wrote on Substack alleging that, as a doctoral candidate at Harvard in the 1990s, Gay had plagiarized sections of her political science dissertation. Rufo said on the social media site X that he and Brunet had been “waiting for the precise moment of maximum impact” before publishing their post, saying that “there are rumors that the plagiarism scandal could be the final nail in Gay’s coffin.”
On Dec. 11, the Washington Free Beacon reported finding “29 potential cases of plagiarism” in Gay’s dissertation and three other papers. On Dec. 12, the New York Post published a story featuring two additional instances of alleged plagiarism in one of those articles.
On Dec. 19 and Jan. 1, the Free Beacon published two anonymous complaints filed with Harvard, detailing 47 incidents of alleged plagiarism by Gay.
What do the plagiarism allegations involve?
The reports published in various outlets collect nearly 50 instances in which Gay allegedly misused academic sources. They appear in eight of her works: a 1993 essay in the magazine Origins, her dissertation from 1997, a 2001 working paper, and five articles she published while a professor at Stanford and Harvard (out of a total of 11 journal publications across her career).
The alleged misuse varies in scope. In some places, it appears that Gay took verbatim wording — ranging from sentences to paragraphs — from academics she cited, but without placing that text in quotation marks. In others, she appears to have paraphrased or lightly modified the texts she drew on, without citing the source in the same sentence or paragraph. In a few cases, she did not make any mention of her source.
Gay’s essay in Origins included no citations. Harvard determined this was consistent with the magazine’s editorial practices, and said that this and the age of the publication put the essay outside the scope of its plagiarism investigation.
What are some examples from Gay’s work?
1. In one instance, first reported by Rufo and Brunet in their Substack post, Gay’s dissertation includes a paragraph, credited to a 1990 paper by Lawrence Bobo and Franklin D. Gilliam, Jr.
2. A 2017 article Gay published in the Urban Affairs Review apparently drew from an earlier article by housing policy scholar Anne R. Williamson, whom she does not cite; this was first reported by the New York Post.
3. That 2017 article also mirrors language from one published in 2011 by Matthew Freedman and Emily G. Owens. Elsewhere in the text, Gay thanks the scholars, then at Cornell, for data they let her use, but she does not cite or quote them. (This was first reported by the Washington Free Beacon.)
4. Some phrasing in the acknowledgments of Gay’s dissertation mirror those in the book “Facing Up to the America Dream,” by another Harvard professor, Jennifer L. Hochschild, as first reported by the Washington Free Beacon”
Look – academics are meant to be smarter than the average bear – right ? So surely ( ugh) they’d be smart enough to redraft a paragraph they are stealing from some one more cleverer ?
Or maybe this lady has been given an ‘uplift’ throughout her academic career as a tickbox …. Bit like Lammy – who also went to Harvard ?
Or Rachel Reeve – who clearly hired an intern to write her book but didn’t ensure there was plagiarism in it which could be detected ….
So dumb ….

Online Dr Consultation:
1) Go online to the website
2) Select suitable date/time based on the online calendar
3) Pay £65 online with debit card
4) Make a 30min zoom call at the appointed time.
I can recommend this 10/10 but please note this is not medical advice.
This service seems to be available from Dr’s who have resisted the Scamdemic. This means they are more likely to be honest and work in the patients best interests IMHO
It’s not the same unless you get a pre appointment zoom call where you listen to screaming kids running around your feet for 20 minutes while the mothers are texting on their phones.
And do they have PDFs of 20 year old Readers Digests and Autocar to peruse while waiting for the appointment already 15 minutes late ?
I’m unclear on this. You pay £65 and have an online consultation with someone that doesn’t give medical advice. So, what are you paying for? Is it actually a porn Chatline?
A cut and paste from the DT – sort of ‘forgot ‘ to mention Jews …STARTS
BBC promotional material for a Sir Anthony Hopkins film about the kindertransport omitted the term “Jewish”, leading to furious claims that Jews were being “written out of history”.
The new release One Life tells the story of Sir Nicholas Winton’s efforts to save hundreds of children from the expanding Nazi regime, most of whom were Jewish.
But the website of the film’s co-producer BBC Film omitted the word “Jewish” from information about the new release, stating only that Sir Nicholas rescued “669 children”.
Promotional material has now been edited
Fellow producers See-Saw films used the same wording on its website, as did distributors Warner Bros.
HMV and a string of cinemas across the UK, including the Peckhamplex in London, posted on X, formerly Twitter, to promote a film they described as a tale of a man “who helped save Central European children from the Nazis”.
Promotional material has now been edited to describe the children as predominantly Jewish, after accusations that their identity was being erased.
Daniel Sugarman, the director of public affairs at the Board of Jewish Deputies, wrote online that “we’re getting written out of our own history”.
Descriptions updated
HMV apologised in a post on X, saying: “We understand how this choice of wording could be interpreted and we have updated it to say that Sir Nicholas Winton rescued 669 predominantly Jewish children from Nazi-occupation.”
Descriptions of the film on the websites of Warner Bros and the BBC were updated to include the phrase ‘predominantly Jewish children’”.
Sir Anthony plays an older Sir Nicholas in the film, which depicts the moment on That’s Life, hosted by Dame Esther Rantzen, when he was surprised on air by the people he rescued from Czechoslovakia.
List of vulnerable children
Sir Nicholas had drawn up a list of vulnerable children on the eve of the country’s annexation by Nazi Germany, and arranged transport to Britain and safe homes for them on their arrival.
His achievements were largely unknown until Dame Esther revealed them to a wider audience live on television, when she asked members of the studio audience to rise to their feet if their lives had been saved by Sir Nicholas’ efforts, prompting dozens of people to stand up and begin to applaud his efforts.
Sir Nicholas, who was dubbed a “British Schindler” after German humanitarian Oskar Schindler, died in 2015 aged 106.ENDS
BALEN REPORT ANYONE ? Does make one wonder how strong the Islamic hold on their BBC is ?
The film suggests that the wife of Robert Maxwell (who was French) first took an interest in the rescue from Prague of the 669 mostly Jewish children. She asked to keep the scrapbook that included press cuttings and details and names of all the children.
The scrapbook was obviously shown to Robert Maxwell who was a Czechoslovakian Jew. From there the Sunday Mirror (that Maxwell owned) published the story which was then also picked up by That’s Life.
Prior to all of this the local media (Maidstone local paper) had shown no interest in the Story.
As I commented earlier:
fast becoming the Belsen Broadcasting Corporation
“Ofcom received a number of complaints about an online BBC news article and news report broadcast on BBC One London about an antisemitic attack on Jewish students in London. These were published and broadcast on 2 December 2021.
We investigated both the online article and news report. We have issued an Opinion on the online article that the BBC failed to observe its Editorial Guidelines on due impartiality and due accuracy. We have found that the BBC One London News report was not in breach of the Broadcasting Code, but, in our view, the BBC made a serious editorial misjudgment following the broadcast.
Our investigation (PDF, 836.7 KB) uncovered significant editorial failings in the BBC’s reporting of an antisemitic attack on Jewish students travelling on board a bus in London.
The BBC’s reports claimed that an audio recording made during the incident included anti-Muslim slurs – which it later changed to the singular “slur” – which came from inside the bus. Shortly afterwards, it received evidence which disputed this interpretation of the audio.
The BBC failed to promptly acknowledge that the audio was disputed and did not update its online news article to reflect this for almost eight weeks. During this time the BBC was aware that the article’s content was causing significant distress and anxiety to the victims of the attack and the wider Jewish community.”
“BBC staff ‘barred from joining march against anti-Semitism’ over impartiality rules.
they were told that the event does not count as “commemorative or celebratory” – instead being classed as “a controversial march or demonstration”.
Some members of staff at the corporation took issue with this categorisation.
One said: “Racism is racism and something we should all abhor — but not when it comes to anti-Jewish racism it seems. “If the BBC believes that racism is racism and not acceptable in any shape or form then going on a rally against antisemitism shouldn’t be an issue.”
” The BBC’s deep-rooted prejudice is fuelling the poison of anti-Semitism
Its reporting has failed both in terms of journalistic credibility and public duty. It is only making the problem worse ”
“BBC is ‘institutionally antisemitic’, says corporation’s former director of television
Danny Cohen warned the broadcaster risks pouring ‘fuel on the fire’ of Jew hate in Britain”
“BBC apologizes after false claim IDF targeting medical staff, Arabic speakers in Gaza
In latest controversy, broadcaster says it misread report of Israeli troops entering Gaza hospital – where IDF says Hamas had HQ – accompanied by medical teams and Arabic speakers”
Here is a paragraph from Wikipedia on how the Soviet Russians treated the Jews in the early years following the Revolution, it is strikingly similar to the way the Marxist Tories appear to be dealing with the situation today:
February Revolution and Provisional Government
The Russian Provisional Government cancelled all restrictions imposed on the Jews by the tsarist government, in a move parallel to the Jewish emancipation in Western Europe that had taken place during the 19th century abolishing Jewish disabilities.
The Bolsheviks
The October Revolution saw the Bolsheviks take power. The breakdown of other Jewish groups after the revolution gave the Yevsektsiya more sway over Jewish communities which facilitated the destruction of traditional Jewish life, the Zionist movement, and Hebrew culture.
In 1918, the Yevsektsiya was established to promote Marxism, secularism and Jewish assimilation into Soviet society, and supposedly bringing communism to the Jewish masses.
In August 1919, Jewish properties, including synagogues, were seized by the Soviet government and many Jewish communities were dissolved.
The anti-religious laws against all expressions of religion and religious education were being taken out on all religious groups, including the Jewish communities. Many rabbis and other religious officials were forced to resign from their posts under the threat of violent persecution. This type of persecution continued on into the 1920s.
In March 1919, Lenin delivered a speech “On Anti-Jewish Pogroms” where he denounced antisemitism as an “attempt to divert the hatred of the workers and peasants from the exploiters toward the Jews”.
The speech was in line with the previous condemnation of the antisemitic pogroms perpetrated by anti-Bolshevik forces (White Army, Ukrainian People’s Army and others) during the Russian Civil War.
In 1914, Lenin had said “No nationality in Russia is as oppressed and persecuted as the Jews”.
Information campaigns against antisemitism were conducted in the Red Army and in the workplaces, and a provision forbidding the incitement of propaganda against any ethnicity became part of Soviet law.
The official stance of the Soviet government under Joseph Stalin in 1934 was to oppose antisemitism “anywhere in the world” and claimed to express “fraternal feelings to the Jewish people”, praising the Jewish contributions towards international socialism.
Sounds to me pretty similar to the noises coming from the Tory party, although with precious little to support it. They haven’t started seizing property yet.
But watched the 3 parter about the corruption of the Post Office and its ex CEO ( gong in 2020 ) who went after hundreds of innocent sub post masters because of a dodgy Fujitsu IT system .
I’m guessing the inquiry is still going on and appeals against criminal convictions are also ongoing – but the post office ? Place in the gutter …
The individuals responsible – should be destroyed .
There can’t be anyone sentient who could think that the world is a safer place under the US Demonrats.
Listening to pundits who have insight this was always going to happen with this corrupt party, except for the reality that as per usual it’s all gone horribly wrong as they attempted to meddle in things they planned, but which worked out massively different in reality.
The Americans are completely delusional, as are the EU nutters. Back in the 1980s and 1990s the West was without question top dog, and unfortunately nothing much changed. People like Tony Bliar and fellow travellers in the BBC talked constantly about the “Peace Dividend” and used that as an excuse to destroy Britains ability to defend itself.
In Britain we became used to sending a gunboat to sort out foreign issues, and the problems didn’t really touch us here so we neglected our defences to the point they have become non existant. In one war gaming excercise it was such a joke they had to assume a fellow NATO country alerted us to an incoming attack because without that it was a slam dunk, but even with a heads up it relied on Navy ships being in strategic positions or every single conventional warhead made it to target.
Our country has concentrated its efforts on fruitless things, which cost money and add nothing to the sum of the nations wealth. Hedonism and depravity have been promoted, along with other crazy ideas the worst of which are equality and equal opportunities.
We have allowed untold millions to enter our country and destroyed productive farmland to do so. Traitors in the public sector have suggested we shouldn’t be farming at all! Container and cargo ships are now so large that it would be impossible for a torpedo to miss them, and we cannot produce sufficient food, meaning the country would have to surrender in the first days of the war.
The idiots in America, still believing the 1980s military kit they have is fit for modern warfare have managed to galvanise the East into an alliance against us. We have Russia China North Korea and Iran all supplying each other with weapons does anyone seriously think the woke morbidly obese Americans can defeat such an axis?
War gaming has shown the US can’t even defeat Iran, and could have done so at the height of their power post Iraq war.
One good thing though is that the day WWIII breaks out is the end of feminism and woke, because no feminist woman is going to be arguing for equal rights to be sent to die on the front line of a foreign country like Iran or Korea !
Thoughtful – don’t be offended – but I think the problem is that it’s easy to point out the problems – the the solution is far harder to see .
My politics would solve it – but the current environment would not countenance the changes required – nor the suffering involved for the woke and foreign invaders …
I can’t see a reason for attacking Britain directly – perhaps as a warning to the US that its client states are easy to take on … and that NATO A5 only applies to the US
… but it will take something like that – and the disorder that comes with it – to shake the liberal woke culture to become sane again – or as near to sane as might be recognisable …
The solution is reasonably simple vis a vis peace, – don’t elect the corrupt Demonrats and get rid of half of the GOP who are also corrupt.
Alas Americans are terminally thick, relying on corrupt media to do the thinking for them and when it’s election time money counts as adverts pound messages into thick skulls. The answer is to put a 1% levy on company turnover (or some figure) and put it into a fund for elections whence it is divided between the candidates and it prevents the blackmailing of candidates. Ban all other political monetary donations and that should at least minimise the corruption.
We are hearing all kinds of talk of NATO soldiers being sent to war against Russia, maybe with a different name, but NATO none the less. in that event we would last around 5 minutes before the lights went out and the food ran out.
Imagine them in WW2: reporters in Berlin and Hamburg, showing us all the dead women and children, maybe staging a few wounded and crying for the camera.
.. while totally ignoring and covering up the atrocities committed by the SS and the likes because it might affect their ‘access to the German people’.
Which is EXACTLY the reason they give for not calling Hamas terrorists or putting any blame on them for this at all.
The concentration camps would have been a small item which disappeared off the front page within hours to make way for a lengthy piece about what a racist Churchill was.
And that will be because there is no evidence upon which he can be considered to have committed any crime.
But that hasn’t stopped the white-male hating misandrists and socialists at the BBC totally destroying him.
He might be an odious creep – but remember, if they can do this so freely and easily to him without any consequences, they can do it to anybody they choose.
As Russel Brand discovered. What happened to that story ?. Another BBC ‘hit and run’ ?. They ran a new headline every day to try and completely destroy him then sudden silence because I presume they know there was no actual evidence for what they were claiming. But they did the damage first.
These are evil people who – like all Lefty activists – believe they should be judge and jury for right and wrong. They must not be allowed to do it at public expense.
Just following on with the post office horizon inquiry – still going on – even in September 2023 the post office was still failing to supply documentation to the inquiry – I wonder if the final inquiry report will recommend criminal prosecution against senior post office officials …?
Low down in the BBC report it reveals that the pressure on the Met to investigate came from an anti-monarchy outfit called Republic who’s key aim is to smash the Monarchy in the UK.
Just take a look at the motley bunch of luvvies involved…
It’s one thing to go after someone who you believe to be involved in dubious activities but quite another to try to use it as a reason to kill the Monarchy which was the obvious idea behind this nefarious groups pressure on the Met.
Why on earth would any sane country want to replace hundreds of years of stable Royal heads of state who leave it to an elected parliament to run things with a bunch of spiteful, nasty minded power hungry Marxist overgrown students who want to run the country as a politbureau headed by someone who would rapidly turn the UK into a copy of a South American banana republic?

But surely, the numbers of good chums here validate a much wider disgust at the Beebolic and similar trades in ‘broadcasting’, which are getting pretty dire nowadays! Your lighthandedness has helped many citizens to realise that the best way to get rid of the awful BBC, is to stop paying the TV tax! I did for one, and I actually hate getting unlawful at my age!
Actually, I also can’t keep up with Guido or some of the other less frenetic sites any more, other than making an odd comment, and when I started listening to people far better qualified to comment than me, with early blogs like Iain Dale etc., back in the early noughties, the times were different!

With more and more normal British citizens deserting the MSM for sites like here as a real-time alternative, you’re in command of a great job, and long may it continue!
Scroblene – that’s very kind – thank you – I would ask anyone who is pro BBC – who reads / monitors this site ( including 77 brigade ) to just look at the daily examples of the biased far left agenda of the BBC . It is a constant onslaught – even the weather forecast has been captured by the green crap agenda …
I repeat from before that anyone trying to demonstrate the fairness and impartiality of the BBC is on for a hiding because it hasn’t been there for a long long time …

He was brought in by Robert Maxwell the man who stole the pension fund of the Mirror group employees, but was given a heroes burial on the Mount of Olives.

Some snippets from the linked article below:
“How Jeffrey Epstein Made His Money: Four Wild Theories.
“He’s supposed to run an enormous FX [foreign-exchange] trading firm,” said Enrique Diaz-Alvarez, chief risk officer at Ebury. “But I never once heard of him or his firm or anyone who worked or traded with him.” And as Forbes wrote in a 2010 blog post with a very direct title — “Sex Offender Jeffrey Epstein Is Not a Billionaire” — his money-management firm based in the U.S. Virgin Islands “generates no public records, nor has his client list ever been released.
Epstein’s mysterious career
No one knows how much he’s worth
According to his lawyers, around the time of his notorious plea deal in Florida in 2008, Epstein’s net worth was over nine figures. The figure was “a bone of contention with Epstein’s lawyers,” Spencer Kuvin, an attorney representing three of Epstein’s alleged victims, told the Palm Beach Post in 2008. “In the litigation itself we were never able to get him to produce verified financial information. The ‘nine figures’ came by negotiation. It kept going up and up and up. They started at zero — they wouldn’t tell us at all.
As Bloomberg states, “Today, so little is known about Epstein’s current business or clients that the only things that can be valued with any certainty are his properties.
Financial Conspiracy Theory #1: Ponzi scheme
Theory #2: Blackmail
Theory #3: Epstein “Belonged to Intelligence
One of the more mysterious quotes of this whole conspiracy-adjacent mess comes from Alexander Acosta, the current Labor secretary, who arranged for Epstein to get off with just a wrist-slap in 2007, when he was a U.S. attorney. According to Vicky Ward, when Acosta was being interviewed for the Labor secretary job, he was asked if his involvement in the Epstein case would be a problem during his confirmation hearings.
Acosta had explained, breezily, apparently, that back in the day he’d had just one meeting on the Epstein case. He’d cut the non-prosecution deal with one of Epstein’s attorneys because he had “been told” to back off, that Epstein was above his pay grade. “I was told Epstein ‘belonged to intelligence’ and to leave it alone,” he told his interviewers …
Whether that’s the American intelligence community, the greater point-one-percent brain trust, or just a garbage excuse, the answer was good enough for the Trump administration to go forward with Acosta’s nomination.”
Theory #4: Offshore Tax Schemes / Money Laundering

Britain is already spending far more than it takes in in taxes, so any greater expenditure would have to be borrowed.
That would be 140Bn in just five years, and if it couldn’t be raised on the bond market it would need to be printed causing very high inflation.

Yes, green policies:
Principles
MG100 The Green Party wants to see a world without borders, until this happens the Green Party will implement a fair and humane system of managed immigration where people can move if they wish to do so.
MG101 The Green Party believes that migration is not a criminal offence under any circumstances.
Objectives
MG200 The Green Party seeks to establish a system that recognises that all migrants are treated as citizens in waiting and therefore supports and encourages them to put down roots in their new home.
MG201 The Green Party accepts we all have a collective responsibility for the climate emergency and that the UK has a duty to support people forced to move due to the changes in their home environment, whether internally or from abroad.
Applications
MG301 All visas can be applied for on entry, while in the UK, or before entry.
MG302 All fees charged for visas will be at cost and not for profit.
MG305 Minimum income requirements will be removed from all applications as well as any benefits from having a higher income.
MG306 Language requirements will be removed from all applications. Free language classes will be made available to promote and encourage integration.
MG308 The Department of Migration will be responsible for ensuring free and independent guidance and support is available when a person’s visa is due to expire to help them make the next steps. This support will be available in an applicant’s first language if requested.
MG309 Unless standard exclusions apply, no person will be held in detention because of their immigration status.
MG500 For the purposes of this policy, visa residents are defined as migrants who have a non-visitor visa, do not have settled status and are not British citizens.
MG501 All visa residents will have the right to vote in all elections and referendums.
MG502 Access to the NHS will be free and comprehensive for all visa residents.
MG503 Any No Recourse to Public Funds conditions will be abolished and visa residents will have access to welfare benefits or Universal Basic Income.
MG902 The Green Party supports the teaching of the history of empire and colonialism, including from the viewpoint of those who were colonised.

The people of Gaza are given enormous amounts of aid, often it’s raised in the UK by Muslim communities, although most of the money goes to the ‘men’ the dopey Muslims give it to.

Spare a thought for the poor Trump-haters at the BBC, who must have been salivating at the prospect of the Epstein revelations.
Bad luck, it turns out he’s just about the only famous person who didn’t avail himself of Epstein’s services. In fact, Orange Man banned him from Mar-a-Lago.
The BBC does, however, manage to drag Trump’s name into the story anyway – perhaps hoping a little mud might stick by association – under the headline: “Why is Trump mentioned?”
Indeed, BBC, why is Trump mentioned?

BBC didn’t say most children saved by kindertransport were Jewish in film promo.
the word ‘Jewish’ was not featured on the website of film co-producer BBC Film in its information page, saying only that Sir Nicholas saved ‘669 children’, leading to claims that Jews were being ‘written out of history’.”

Shifting gear somewhat The Daily Telegraph frontpage also presents us with one of those anti-serendipitous awkward little juxtaposition sign of the times double whammy press headline stories one does so enjoy
Evacuations as floods hit hard – runs the above the picture header for the frontpage feature photo of a dozen or so young chaps inside – but mostly on top of – a car engulfed in what one would guess was about two-and-a-half-feet of flood water: Residents are rescued near the River Severn in Gloucestershire – all these fit and healthy chaps appear pretty happy with their lot and all are of fighting age and white with no apparent ethnic nor gender diversity to the demographic (as we tend to say these days)
I am sailing, I am sailing
Home again, ‘cross the sea
I am sailing stormy waters
To be near you, to be free
So sang Rod Stewart in 1975
This picture of English lads having a whale of a time in the flood water is juxtaposed with: Navy has so few sailors ships must be scrapped… New frigates unable to be manned unless existing warships are dismantled
In the navy
Yes, you can sail the seven seas
In the navy
Yes, you can put your mind at ease
In the navy
Come on people, fall in an’ make a stand
In the navy, in the navy
Can’t you see we need a hand
So sang The Village People in 1979
To be fair, judging by the generous supply of gum boots and freshwater angling-style waders on show in Telegraph’s snap, I’m guessing these blokes perched up there on the roof of the car look more like the rescuers rather than the rescued.
Fit healthy fighting age young chaps don’t tend to need to be rescued.
And if your heartfelt desire is to prosecute child sex abusers don’t stop at the Duke of York – look to the denizens of the towns and cities within the broad county of York, and elswhere in the north.
These and other pithy observations are available daily hereabouts.

“On Dec. 10, conservative activist Christopher Rufo and Christopher Brunet, a contributing editor at the American Conservative, wrote on Substack alleging that, as a doctoral candidate at Harvard in the 1990s, Gay had plagiarized sections of her political science dissertation. Rufo said on the social media site X that he and Brunet had been “waiting for the precise moment of maximum impact” before publishing their post, saying that “there are rumors that the plagiarism scandal could be the final nail in Gay’s coffin.”
On Dec. 11, the Washington Free Beacon reported finding “29 potential cases of plagiarism” in Gay’s dissertation and three other papers. On Dec. 12, the New York Post published a story featuring two additional instances of alleged plagiarism in one of those articles.
On Dec. 19 and Jan. 1, the Free Beacon published two anonymous complaints filed with Harvard, detailing 47 incidents of alleged plagiarism by Gay.
What do the plagiarism allegations involve?
The reports published in various outlets collect nearly 50 instances in which Gay allegedly misused academic sources. They appear in eight of her works: a 1993 essay in the magazine Origins, her dissertation from 1997, a 2001 working paper, and five articles she published while a professor at Stanford and Harvard (out of a total of 11 journal publications across her career).
The alleged misuse varies in scope. In some places, it appears that Gay took verbatim wording — ranging from sentences to paragraphs — from academics she cited, but without placing that text in quotation marks. In others, she appears to have paraphrased or lightly modified the texts she drew on, without citing the source in the same sentence or paragraph. In a few cases, she did not make any mention of her source.
Gay’s essay in Origins included no citations. Harvard determined this was consistent with the magazine’s editorial practices, and said that this and the age of the publication put the essay outside the scope of its plagiarism investigation.
What are some examples from Gay’s work?
1. In one instance, first reported by Rufo and Brunet in their Substack post, Gay’s dissertation includes a paragraph, credited to a 1990 paper by Lawrence Bobo and Franklin D. Gilliam, Jr.
2. A 2017 article Gay published in the Urban Affairs Review apparently drew from an earlier article by housing policy scholar Anne R. Williamson, whom she does not cite; this was first reported by the New York Post.
3. That 2017 article also mirrors language from one published in 2011 by Matthew Freedman and Emily G. Owens. Elsewhere in the text, Gay thanks the scholars, then at Cornell, for data they let her use, but she does not cite or quote them. (This was first reported by the Washington Free Beacon.)
4. Some phrasing in the acknowledgments of Gay’s dissertation mirror those in the book “Facing Up to the America Dream,” by another Harvard professor, Jennifer L. Hochschild, as first reported by the Washington Free Beacon”

A cut and paste from the DT – sort of ‘forgot ‘ to mention Jews …STARTS
BBC promotional material for a Sir Anthony Hopkins film about the kindertransport omitted the term “Jewish”, leading to furious claims that Jews were being “written out of history”.
The new release One Life tells the story of Sir Nicholas Winton’s efforts to save hundreds of children from the expanding Nazi regime, most of whom were Jewish.
But the website of the film’s co-producer BBC Film omitted the word “Jewish” from information about the new release, stating only that Sir Nicholas rescued “669 children”.
Promotional material has now been edited
Fellow producers See-Saw films used the same wording on its website, as did distributors Warner Bros.
HMV and a string of cinemas across the UK, including the Peckhamplex in London, posted on X, formerly Twitter, to promote a film they described as a tale of a man “who helped save Central European children from the Nazis”.
Promotional material has now been edited to describe the children as predominantly Jewish, after accusations that their identity was being erased.
Daniel Sugarman, the director of public affairs at the Board of Jewish Deputies, wrote online that “we’re getting written out of our own history”.
Descriptions updated
HMV apologised in a post on X, saying: “We understand how this choice of wording could be interpreted and we have updated it to say that Sir Nicholas Winton rescued 669 predominantly Jewish children from Nazi-occupation.”
Descriptions of the film on the websites of Warner Bros and the BBC were updated to include the phrase ‘predominantly Jewish children’”.
Sir Anthony plays an older Sir Nicholas in the film, which depicts the moment on That’s Life, hosted by Dame Esther Rantzen, when he was surprised on air by the people he rescued from Czechoslovakia.
List of vulnerable children
Sir Nicholas had drawn up a list of vulnerable children on the eve of the country’s annexation by Nazi Germany, and arranged transport to Britain and safe homes for them on their arrival.
His achievements were largely unknown until Dame Esther revealed them to a wider audience live on television, when she asked members of the studio audience to rise to their feet if their lives had been saved by Sir Nicholas’ efforts, prompting dozens of people to stand up and begin to applaud his efforts.
Sir Nicholas, who was dubbed a “British Schindler” after German humanitarian Oskar Schindler, died in 2015 aged 106.ENDS

The film suggests that the wife of Robert Maxwell (who was French) first took an interest in the rescue from Prague of the 669 mostly Jewish children. She asked to keep the scrapbook that included press cuttings and details and names of all the children.
The scrapbook was obviously shown to Robert Maxwell who was a Czechoslovakian Jew. From there the Sunday Mirror (that Maxwell owned) published the story which was then also picked up by That’s Life.
Prior to all of this the local media (Maidstone local paper) had shown no interest in the Story.

As I commented earlier:
fast becoming the Belsen Broadcasting Corporation
“Ofcom received a number of complaints about an online BBC news article and news report broadcast on BBC One London about an antisemitic attack on Jewish students in London. These were published and broadcast on 2 December 2021.
We investigated both the online article and news report. We have issued an Opinion on the online article that the BBC failed to observe its Editorial Guidelines on due impartiality and due accuracy. We have found that the BBC One London News report was not in breach of the Broadcasting Code, but, in our view, the BBC made a serious editorial misjudgment following the broadcast.
Our investigation (PDF, 836.7 KB) uncovered significant editorial failings in the BBC’s reporting of an antisemitic attack on Jewish students travelling on board a bus in London.
The BBC’s reports claimed that an audio recording made during the incident included anti-Muslim slurs – which it later changed to the singular “slur” – which came from inside the bus. Shortly afterwards, it received evidence which disputed this interpretation of the audio.
The BBC failed to promptly acknowledge that the audio was disputed and did not update its online news article to reflect this for almost eight weeks. During this time the BBC was aware that the article’s content was causing significant distress and anxiety to the victims of the attack and the wider Jewish community.”

Here is a paragraph from Wikipedia on how the Soviet Russians treated the Jews in the early years following the Revolution, it is strikingly similar to the way the Marxist Tories appear to be dealing with the situation today:
February Revolution and Provisional Government
The Russian Provisional Government cancelled all restrictions imposed on the Jews by the tsarist government, in a move parallel to the Jewish emancipation in Western Europe that had taken place during the 19th century abolishing Jewish disabilities.
The Bolsheviks
The October Revolution saw the Bolsheviks take power. The breakdown of other Jewish groups after the revolution gave the Yevsektsiya more sway over Jewish communities which facilitated the destruction of traditional Jewish life, the Zionist movement, and Hebrew culture.
In 1918, the Yevsektsiya was established to promote Marxism, secularism and Jewish assimilation into Soviet society, and supposedly bringing communism to the Jewish masses.
In August 1919, Jewish properties, including synagogues, were seized by the Soviet government and many Jewish communities were dissolved.
The anti-religious laws against all expressions of religion and religious education were being taken out on all religious groups, including the Jewish communities. Many rabbis and other religious officials were forced to resign from their posts under the threat of violent persecution. This type of persecution continued on into the 1920s.
In March 1919, Lenin delivered a speech “On Anti-Jewish Pogroms” where he denounced antisemitism as an “attempt to divert the hatred of the workers and peasants from the exploiters toward the Jews”.
The speech was in line with the previous condemnation of the antisemitic pogroms perpetrated by anti-Bolshevik forces (White Army, Ukrainian People’s Army and others) during the Russian Civil War.
In 1914, Lenin had said “No nationality in Russia is as oppressed and persecuted as the Jews”.
Information campaigns against antisemitism were conducted in the Red Army and in the workplaces, and a provision forbidding the incitement of propaganda against any ethnicity became part of Soviet law.
The official stance of the Soviet government under Joseph Stalin in 1934 was to oppose antisemitism “anywhere in the world” and claimed to express “fraternal feelings to the Jewish people”, praising the Jewish contributions towards international socialism.
Sounds to me pretty similar to the noises coming from the Tory party, although with precious little to support it. They haven’t started seizing property yet.

There can’t be anyone sentient who could think that the world is a safer place under the US Demonrats.
Listening to pundits who have insight this was always going to happen with this corrupt party, except for the reality that as per usual it’s all gone horribly wrong as they attempted to meddle in things they planned, but which worked out massively different in reality.
The Americans are completely delusional, as are the EU nutters. Back in the 1980s and 1990s the West was without question top dog, and unfortunately nothing much changed. People like Tony Bliar and fellow travellers in the BBC talked constantly about the “Peace Dividend” and used that as an excuse to destroy Britains ability to defend itself.
In Britain we became used to sending a gunboat to sort out foreign issues, and the problems didn’t really touch us here so we neglected our defences to the point they have become non existant. In one war gaming excercise it was such a joke they had to assume a fellow NATO country alerted us to an incoming attack because without that it was a slam dunk, but even with a heads up it relied on Navy ships being in strategic positions or every single conventional warhead made it to target.
Our country has concentrated its efforts on fruitless things, which cost money and add nothing to the sum of the nations wealth. Hedonism and depravity have been promoted, along with other crazy ideas the worst of which are equality and equal opportunities.
We have allowed untold millions to enter our country and destroyed productive farmland to do so. Traitors in the public sector have suggested we shouldn’t be farming at all! Container and cargo ships are now so large that it would be impossible for a torpedo to miss them, and we cannot produce sufficient food, meaning the country would have to surrender in the first days of the war.
The idiots in America, still believing the 1980s military kit they have is fit for modern warfare have managed to galvanise the East into an alliance against us. We have Russia China North Korea and Iran all supplying each other with weapons does anyone seriously think the woke morbidly obese Americans can defeat such an axis?
War gaming has shown the US can’t even defeat Iran, and could have done so at the height of their power post Iraq war.
One good thing though is that the day WWIII breaks out is the end of feminism and woke, because no feminist woman is going to be arguing for equal rights to be sent to die on the front line of a foreign country like Iran or Korea !

Alas Americans are terminally thick, relying on corrupt media to do the thinking for them and when it’s election time money counts as adverts pound messages into thick skulls. The answer is to put a 1% levy on company turnover (or some figure) and put it into a fund for elections whence it is divided between the candidates and it prevents the blackmailing of candidates. Ban all other political monetary donations and that should at least minimise the corruption.
We are hearing all kinds of talk of NATO soldiers being sent to war against Russia, maybe with a different name, but NATO none the less. in that event we would last around 5 minutes before the lights went out and the food ran out.

BBC news still full of war porn from Gaza.
Imagine them in WW2: reporters in Berlin and Hamburg, showing us all the dead women and children, maybe staging a few wounded and crying for the camera.
AND WE’D HAVE LOST.

.. while totally ignoring and covering up the atrocities committed by the SS and the likes because it might affect their ‘access to the German people’.
Which is EXACTLY the reason they give for not calling Hamas terrorists or putting any blame on them for this at all.
The concentration camps would have been a small item which disappeared off the front page within hours to make way for a lengthy piece about what a racist Churchill was.

No investigation into Prince Andrew – Met Police
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-67893392
And that will be because there is no evidence upon which he can be considered to have committed any crime.
But that hasn’t stopped the white-male hating misandrists and socialists at the BBC totally destroying him.
He might be an odious creep – but remember, if they can do this so freely and easily to him without any consequences, they can do it to anybody they choose.
As Russel Brand discovered. What happened to that story ?. Another BBC ‘hit and run’ ?. They ran a new headline every day to try and completely destroy him then sudden silence because I presume they know there was no actual evidence for what they were claiming. But they did the damage first.
These are evil people who – like all Lefty activists – believe they should be judge and jury for right and wrong. They must not be allowed to do it at public expense.

Just following on with the post office horizon inquiry – still going on – even in September 2023 the post office was still failing to supply documentation to the inquiry – I wonder if the final inquiry report will recommend criminal prosecution against senior post office officials …?

The Met have called off an investigation into Prince Andrew….
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-67893392
Low down in the BBC report it reveals that the pressure on the Met to investigate came from an anti-monarchy outfit called Republic who’s key aim is to smash the Monarchy in the UK.
Just take a look at the motley bunch of luvvies involved…
https://www.republic.org.uk/
It’s one thing to go after someone who you believe to be involved in dubious activities but quite another to try to use it as a reason to kill the Monarchy which was the obvious idea behind this nefarious groups pressure on the Met.
Why on earth would any sane country want to replace hundreds of years of stable Royal heads of state who leave it to an elected parliament to run things with a bunch of spiteful, nasty minded power hungry Marxist overgrown students who want to run the country as a politbureau headed by someone who would rapidly turn the UK into a copy of a South American banana republic?
They remind me of Wolfie the brainless lefty agitator in the old sit-com
At least the Met showed some sanity for a change!

Fed, regarding JohnC’s and Polyanna’s ‘discussions’, when you took over running the site, there was a strict un-written rule that posts should at least refer to the obvious left wing, anti-government bias of the Beebonic Plague, and diversion from the ethic of our site was discouraged!
But surely, the numbers of good chums here validate a much wider disgust at the Beebolic and similar trades in ‘broadcasting’, which are getting pretty dire nowadays! Your lighthandedness has helped many citizens to realise that the best way to get rid of the awful BBC, is to stop paying the TV tax! I did for one, and I actually hate getting unlawful at my age!
Actually, I also can’t keep up with Guido or some of the other less frenetic sites any more, other than making an odd comment, and when I started listening to people far better qualified to comment than me, with early blogs like Iain Dale etc., back in the early noughties, the times were different!
I’ve learned so much from this site – I actually do read some of MarkyMark’s stuff, certainly read Stew’s stuff, and you have some fabulous customers (!), and I’ve fallen in love with Brissles, Deborah, Mrs Asi and Thoughtful, plus any other names I can fathom…
With more and more normal British citizens deserting the MSM for sites like here as a real-time alternative, you’re in command of a great job, and long may it continue!
(Thank you for the cheque by the way..;0)

Scroblene – that’s very kind – thank you – I would ask anyone who is pro BBC – who reads / monitors this site ( including 77 brigade ) to just look at the daily examples of the biased far left agenda of the BBC . It is a constant onslaught – even the weather forecast has been captured by the green crap agenda …
I repeat from before that anyone trying to demonstrate the fairness and impartiality of the BBC is on for a hiding because it hasn’t been there for a long long time …
And all the trolls can do is make snide comments about comments and run away back to The Guadian

Taffman – it might be a good test for reform – this lefty Tory apparently was the energy minister who bought the net zero crap in . I bet he has seen that his 18 000 majority is about to be wiped out … no peerage for him …
I noticed he is a Gloucester MP I wonder if he knows or cares about the floods …?

Doh Skidmore’s constituency will not be getting a new MP for long
I think it’s listed as being abolished at next election.. and Skidmore had a;ready announced he would be stepping down at next election
Follow the money
He’s paid £500 an hour by greenblob lobbyists ..making £80K pa
“Chris Skidmore announced back in November 2022 he is standing down at the next election because his constituency of Kingswood is being formally abolished in the boundary changes.
Pathetic opportunistic virtue signalling.”
and anti-green cos you have all the fuss of a by-election .. but the MP will be used for a few months

The Last Dinner Party win BBC Radio 1’s Sound Of 2024
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-67880301
Here they are:
‘The five-piece join the likes of Adele, PinkPantheress and Sam Smith as winners of the prize’
Women, Woman, Black woman, Gay.
… and thus another BBC ‘award’ is totally rubbished and shows itself to be worthless.
Just as sir Nick of Clegg rubbished every knighthood ever given.

Who is the bad one, who is the victim ?
An exasperated woman who asked a question
“For the love of God, let me finish the sentence man ! Maybe you are not used to women talking ? I don’t know !”
Or a man who has described HAMAS as “brave fighters” ?
Yet today Hamas supporters instigated a pile on against Julia Hartley-Brewer by retweeting a video of her framed by a title she was being RACIST when she asked if the Palestinian politician who kept talking over her was maybe not used to women talking.
.. cos they know people will just believe the title instead of watching the video critically.
The usual libmob like Lammy joined in the pile on and sneering

LMAO, just watching an episode of the new All Creatures Great and Small and Seigfried has just visited a farm (in 1937 I think) in the remote Yorkshire Dales which is being run by an elderly black woman and her young daughter.
Anyone know if it’s based on a true story ? 🤣
I’m only 7 minutes in. I guarantee 100% they will become part of the main ‘plot’.
This is the Brave New world of the Left. History rewritten to suit their politicial narrative.

“That list includes ‘politicians’ and a ‘well-known Prime Minister’, though that person is not named.
The only person named to date who matches that description is former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, who has historically denied the allegations. “
