Should really be front page news on the BBC. But then again….
Alright, hats off to the Met Police for pulling off a sting operation straight out of a crime thriller. The Rolex Rippers, those brazen gangs terrorizing London's streets and preying on the unsuspecting, well-heeled patrons stumbling out of pubs and clubs in the wee hours,… pic.twitter.com/XCiZnPmm36— Darren Grimes (@darrengrimes_) January 17, 2024
My local paper is full of ex met plod with foreign names being disciplined and thrown out – the level of corruption is shocking …although I do like the story about the Romanian who asked for some leave – which was refused – went sick and then went awol – returning ( permanently ) to Romania …. Cultural I suppose ….
The new Argentinian President Javier Milieu packs more bravery, truth, sense, realism and insight into his first speech at Davos than the whole lot of the rest of them have over umpteen years.
Lets hope this might be the beginning across the Western World of electing real leaders prepared to say it like it is do the right thing and act accordingly.
Well, it’s started again: Trump Derangement Syndrome is kicking off.
Whoopi Goldberg, as ugly as she is stupid, warns that Trump will “round up the gay folks and the journalists… and disappear them”.
Yes, in her deranged mind he’s going to exterminate all journalists. (If only he’d extend the courtesy to the BBC.)
Meanwhile over on MSNBC, Rachel Maddow – affectionately known as Mad-cow – warns of coming authoritarianism and Fascism.
On the same channel, black racist Joy Reid blames Trump’s victory in Iowa on those horrible “white Christians”, shudder.
And on and on. We’ve got another 10 months of this madness so I’ll spare you the Hollywood lunatics’ hysterical reactions.
Be sure that the Swamp will throw everything they can at Trump, including, if lawfare and vote-rigging doesn’t work, assassination.
I hope he has a good security team… Private security, because the national security agencies have been utterly corrupted by that criminal Obama.
So many numbskull Celebs in the USA who think their career and standing are enhanced by going after Trump and supporting the lunatics on the left are in for a massive shock soon in my opinion.
And I hope they are dealt the cards their faux “outrage” deserves.
Perhaps Russia or China will help us out if we need any steel. You know, like to build ships and tanks and other stuff that we might need if (when) we get into a conflict with, er, Russia or China.
Watching something the other night, not sure if BBC or other.
But remarkably it was about poor blacks in Chicago, I assume south side.
Basically Chicago is a haven for immigrants. Many indigenous black residents have noticed their tax dollars are not being spent on anything that will help themselves but going to the asylum seekers and they are are getting resentful. Their arguments would give the UK Far Left apoplexy. To them, Biden is toast – so Trump is eating even into that vote.
On a separate note, except not quite, I had cause to discover that US census/ survey data suggests that Washington DC has by far the highest % gay population of all the USStates. ( OK it’s not a state but a district) at over 14%. The average is 3-5%.
If the seat of government is so unrepresentative and divorced from ordinary people, and the Democrats are full of woke, is there any wonder those Chicago south side blacks I mentioned feel so let down?
“Disbelief as Tube driver who led ‘free Palestine’ chant is let off with a slap on the wrist and is ALREADY back at work – despite Sadiq Khan’s claim he wanted ‘zero-tolerance of antisemitism'”
I hope the Iranian v paki war doesn’t overshadow the Post `office Horror ( it’s worse than a scandal ) so it is good to even see a barrister making a public apology of his part in prosecuting the innocent ….
Obviously an apology isn’t going to be unqualified – he was acting on ‘instructions ‘…. And the use of the expert evidence the post office supplied to knowingly obtain the perversion of justice …. And are now effing caught after so long ….
…. I want to add – I know more than most about ‘expert evidence ‘ in courts – both civil and criminal – part of my LLM was on that ‘dry’ subject – but one of the issues about expert evidence is a sort of core belief by the court that their evidence is tendered without dishonesty – yet in the post office case the expert computer evidence – unchallengeable – was a devastating weapon to defeat justice . BTW I’m not a lawyer – but the more I think about the post office victims – the angrier I get about it ….
Those responsible should be offered a loaded revolver and a glass of whisky – but honour doesn’t go that far now ….
It is amazing how fast the politcal elites will run from a problem like this when it’s raised with them.
My local Labour MP even lied to the press that no PostMasters had approached her about it despite me having a letter from her about it.
The local Lib Dem guy who originally wrote to them on my behalf has retired and I no longer have his number, not one of them wants to talk to me about it.
It’s astonishing they claim to go into politics to help people, but that is clearly a lie. They go into it to push their own agendas and make money out of it.
Thoughtful – although the itv docu drama had a big impact – I think there is space for a bigger – longer – more detailed series about what happened over time –
I wouid think somewhere there is someone writing up maybe a 13 episode job starting with Blair and going through to now – or the conclusion of the inquiry and report at the end of 2024….
I think people will still be interested because this is continuing to sting so much ……. – assuming the world hasn’t ended yet …
I had a similar issue with our local Conservative MP at the time, Stephen O’Brien. He is or was a Lawyer so I wrote to him regarding some defective legislation which he must have seen pass through Parliament which was enabling some legal outfit to rip me off. He wrote back to say as the case was in progress he couldn’t do anything. I imagine many people being taken to task unfairly by the Authorities, Councils, HMRC etc will receive similar cop out replies from their MP’s. Technically they may be correct in arguing that the matter might be sub judice but they would have every right as an authorised representative in making enquiries.
Stephen O’Brien went onto to ponce about in some grace and favour UN job and is now a Knighted W****r.
Digg
The pressure Obama must be putting on States to make sure their vote counting is completely corrupted must be huge . It seems that every court case – every luvvie – every pundit screaming about President Trump strengthens his position …
… and I reckon all he has to do is call out ‘ finish the wall ‘…
I’m not a huge consumer of US politics but if the miracle happened – and he survives to be elected President – what he’d be doing in those first 100 days .. Christian and Katty might have strokes ….
“I’m looking forward to the riots by the Left… What little we are told by the BBC will describe them as people simply exercising their democratic right and are mostly peaceful. Nothing to see here. Move along.”
JohnC, Feb 10, 2021;
“[Jan 6]… They didn’t go to a riot. They were exercising their democratic right to protest. One of the ways corrupt governments answer to the people…”
Missed the sarcasm completely again maxi. This is about what the BBC report.
2016 Oakland riots https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Oakland_riots
‘From November 9–12, 2016, protests occurred in Oakland, California, against the election of Donald Trump. While originally peaceful, these protests became violent, with protesters lighting trash cans and cars and a building on fire and smashing store windows and throwing bottles at police. Thirty protesters were arrested, and three officers were injured.’
Where’s that on the BBC maxi ?. Google doesn’t seem to know.
Good to see you are archiving everything we write in order to use it later.
Go back to bed you doxxing troll. Don’t let tyour conscience keep you awake. Oh sorry I forgot : far-left trolls like you don’t have one.
It’s nice to know not only 77 brigade keeps records of what is written here – but trolls as well …. I hope my views on what should be done about third world invaders is noted as I really mean it ….otherwise – in a few years every hotel will be full every town will have the crime and other problems bought by these invaders as cities are overwhelmed …. Cut and paste that troll
Except that the swamp are in it up to their arm-pits organising the lefty mobs and stuffing Ray Epps style goons into other situations to foment trouble and misdirect.
Thank you EG. I was wondering where that new star had come from as I had never seen one that close to the moon before. I know Venus shows up frequently in conjunction with the moon but not so near.
The DT is carrying a story about Barclays Primary School in my londonistan borough . It says the school may have to close because of the pressure to run pro Palestinian badges and the like –
– on top of the court case about Muslim prayers in a non religious school ….
If Muslims want to practice their religion in a fundamentalist way – have maddrassas – don’t pollute non Muslims with their false religion …
you start leading prayer sessions in the play ground
others join you
they start forcing others to join in
no, I cant imagine anyone at my secondary school doing or joining such a thing without ridicule , the religious fanaticism needed to go to such lengths is really quite extraordinary and being THAT “religion” worrying , very worrying
It seems likely that government officials were involved in planting pipe bombs in Washington, DC three years ago, as part of an effort to keep Donald Trump from running for president again. Darren Beattie has details. pic.twitter.com/jsM5jCDeBd
There are similarities between the BBC and Post Office…. as “Independent” public bodies.
ICL were, at one stage a government company as were / are the Post Office.
International Computers Limited was formed in 1968 as a part of the Industrial Expansion Act of the Wilson Labour Government. ICL was an initiative of Tony Benn, the Minister of Technology, to create a British computer industry that could compete with major world manufacturers like IBM; the formation of the company was the last in a series of mergers that had taken place in the industry since the late 1950s.
Fujitsu … – is a *very* tangled web from a business environment quite alien to most Anglos rooted in the Zaibatsu environment. Zaibatsus have *huge* political clout… some might claim that government is a Fujitsu department. (The BBC see this and are envious?)
Quangos and NDPBs while conjured into existence by politicians can’t be “unconjured” if they don’t behave – they can only be defunded. Officials cannot be removed by order of “outsiders” like the sponsoring government department.
The independent public body structure is inherently susceptible to abuse (invites, even?)
Slightly scatter gun there but it’s clear that the mechanisms that should control manipulative bureaucratic parasites are getting less effective and the destination, if things aren’t adjusted is going to be quite awful.
The UK Government may well do meet with the Turkish government, they do so after being fully informed if all security issues, areas they can't discuss.

Tip toeing around measles vaccination – or the lack of it amongst third worlders … there’s a lot of it about …. Once upon a time Britain was measles free – but for some reason its back and big again …..
Wanna guess what that ‘reason ‘ might be – a clue – the bbc will never tell you…
Now back to a 10 million increase in population in the last awful 10 blue labour years ….

Comrade Robinson has had to go to Glasgow – but a little confession .. I enjoy listening to Scottish politicians talking about ‘Westminster ‘ – and never using the word ‘England ‘ or ‘London ‘ – it seems almost religious hatred of south of the border …….
Wasnt it brilliant?
Listening to the BBC squirm and dance around the handbags to avoid the ‘diverse’ elephant in the room.
Diverse. Communities. Whenever the BBC use those words you know exactly what they mean and what they don’t want to say.
So let’s look at Camden. Where an interviewee came from. Who managed not to mention facts like these.
Non UK identity 26%
England as country of birth 52%
Muslim religion 16%
Mmm. Could this be why the vaccine is not taken up?
A ‘high level’ of ‘new arrivals’ was briefly mentioned.
Moving on quickly.
Up in the West Midlands (any clues there), Dame Jenny Harries put her head above the parapet and mentioned that Muslim communities were vaccine averse because the vaccine contains a pork ingredient. But she sad there was another vaccine without a pork ingredient. So that’s all right then.
Unfettered mass immigration. The gift that keeps on giving.
Paid for, of course, by us.
Not really the BBC – but a personal ‘chip ‘ of mine
– the kings ‘ prostate – ( great film title )
Apparently the number of searches for ‘enlarged prostate ‘ on the www has increased a lot since Charlie Windsor has told the world about his royal prostate…
But … try to get a prostate blood test on the NHS – you will be lucky … I’ve tried and been refused by my horrible GP – appealed and failed …. I’ve now been marked as ‘trouble ‘ … I think the medical mafia would prefer a white taxpayer like me to get dead and be replaced ….
But – if you are a chap – say – over 50 -mask for a test – see what happens…
em there is a campaign for prostate blood tests
last month on a Thursday I asked at the surgery.
The next day Friday they took the blood, and did a flu vaccination.
I haven’t heard any results yet.
Not BBC but note the obvious in this Yahoo Article .
The boyfriend of a 20-year-old woman who was killed after the car she was in pulled into the wrong driveway in upstate New York told a court of the “frantic” scenes after she was shot.
Blake Walsh, also 20, was driving the car with Kaylin Gillis and two other friends inside. He told the courtroom how he heard a shot hit the car and then saw his girlfriend slumped over in the passenger’s seat, The Associated Press reported.
“Frantic in the car … people were screaming,” he said, describing the moment Gillis was hit by gunfire, as he testified that another friend saw a man shooting at them.
Mr Walsh said he remembered telling his friend, Katherine Rondeau, who was leading the group to a party in Hebron, that they needed to find a hospital. “I thought I knew where I was going,” Ms Rondeau told the jury.
The group had to travel several miles for cell service to make a 911 call. Eventually, a dispatcher coached them through CPR until first responders could arrive. Gillis died shortly after they arrived at the scene.
The owner of the property they accidentally strayed onto, Kevin Monahan, 66, was later charged with second-degree murder and tampering with evidence.
The court was told that after realising they were at the wrong house, the group turned their two cars and one motorcycle around and quickly tried to leave the property.
Prosecutors say that is when the defendant came onto his porch and fired two shots at the vehicles, the second of which killed Gillis.
Mr Monahan’s defence attorneys told the jury that the firearm went off accidentally, but a firearms expert testified this week that the gun was functioning properly at the time of her death.
Gillis’s death happened around the same time as two other high-profile shootings.
Ralph Yarl, then 16, thought he was picking his younger siblings up from their babysitter’s home in Missouri when he was shot in the head by a white man. Andrew Lester, 84, pleaded not guilty for shooting the Black teen. His trial has been set for 7 October 2024.
Payton Washington, a cheerleader at Baylor University in Texas, was shot three times and seriously injured after her friend accidentally got into the wrong car. She was hit in her right buttock and once in the back, resulting in an injury to her abdomen.
This morning’s accidental gem of awkward juxtaposition comes with our Financial Times where the frontpage report: Tata to lay off 2,800 Port Talbot staff before shift to greener steelmaking – sits uneasily beside the prime page one advertising spot bought by Bain & Co (American management consulting company headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts. The firm provides advice to public, private, and non-profit organizations – thank you Wiki): their bold ad copy reads: Move beyond sustainability commitments to action – seems the Tata Steel corporation have complied with that call to action
The Bain ad blurb continues with the usual lefty-inspired corporate gobbledegook with which our C-suites appear so enamoured these days: As a firm, as a partner to our clients, and a champion for global communities, Bain is creating a more sustainable, equitable and inclusive world. Let’s go further together.
I suppose three thousand workers thrown onto the dole in Port Talbot – whatever their previous salary – will at least find a certain equality in state benefits.
Tata Steel is set to cut 3,000 jobs across the UK and close both blast furnaces in Port Talbot, south Wales, the BBC is told (BBC)
Then there will be the fall out damage done to the local economy – sustainability is good for global communities… (as Bain & Co would have it) – just not for the Port Talbot community
Still, look on the bright side, eh BBC?
Tata steel: What do plans mean for UK’s carbon footprint… The company’s plans to shut its blast furnaces could cut Wales’ carbon emissions by as much as a fifth… Tata’s Port Talbot plant is also the UK’s biggest single emitter of planet-warming carbon dioxide. (BBC)
I’m sure all those people being made redundant will appreciate it is in the name of the green crap fetish- and will reduce man made global warming by 0.0000000000000000001%- a price worth paying …
When – in the future – sanity returns ( if ever ) and more learned science says that the green crap fetish was just a couple of decades of collective group madness- what will they say about us ?
And the unnecessary self inflicted pain inflicted on the innocent – such as those steel workers .? I despair……
“Billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates has been supporting a wide array of research on geoengineering since 2007, ScienceInsider has learned. The world’s richest man has provided at least $4.5 million of his own money over 3 years for the study of methods that could alter the stratosphere to reflect solar energy, techniques to filter carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere, and brighten ocean clouds. But Gates’s money has not funded any field experiments involving the techniques, according to Ken Caldeira of the Carnegie Institution for Science in Palo Alto, California.”
Caldeira and physicist David Keith of the University of Calgary in Canada have been in charge of deciding how to dispense the money. The pair have been informal energy and climate advisers to Gates for several years, and they say they remain independent. “This is philanthropic money and when it arrives [to Calgary] Gates does not control it,” says Keith.
Recipients of the funding include Armand Neukermans, an inventor based in Silicon Valley who is working with colleagues to design spray systems for the marine clouds, and students and scientists working for Keith and Caldeira. Funding has also helped support scientific meetings in geoengineering in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Edinburgh, Scotland, and aeronautics research related to altering the stratosphere.
So Gates just gives them millions but has no control over how they spend it. I dare say you believe this too.
I note the well spaced-out deterioration in everything British. Its as if the phasing out coincides with the slow inevitable death of those that can remember (and relate) to far better times. I wonder how long the elite has given to the death of those older voters that voted OUT of the EU, following which they can hurriedly re-join without fear of any backlash.
Yesterday a Sikh mate said to me “Have you seen the brilliant new ITV drama called Liar about the girl who made false allegations on ROCHDALE ?”
I said surely you mean Ellie Williams in Barrow In Furness and BTW when TR went to visit the town he met one of the Pakistanis who had been accused by her, and straight away recognised the accusations must be false. So he immediately made a video about it .. and the police then seized his video equipment and banned him from town. And that same Pakistani was at the cenotaph walking with TR.
I just tried to find such a TV drama. It’s not on ITV
Someone speaks of BBC Breakfast the day after the Rochdale news, promoting a new BBC documentary “Liar”
FFS FFS
@James_Treadwell tweets A day later and BBC breakfast is promoting its new documentary on Ellie Williams;
“Liar, the fake grooming scandal”, is available from today, apparently.
The timing, given recent revelations of ongoing failures on Rochdale abuse could be considered a little odd or insensitive.
Here are countless poor girls utterly failed by the system, oh, but we happen to have a documentary about the exceptional case where one lied, so we just scheduled it for broadcast at precisely the time that the failures of institutions and powerful actors is under the spotlight.
Authorities failed to act, crimes became ‘too sensitive’ when victims could have been prevented.
Victims were blamed while perpetrators weaponised progressive liberal sentiments and hid in sight.
Our criminal justice systems are still failing to hear the voices of CSE victims.
So here is an exceptionally rare individual and one-off case case where a woman lied and claimed fake grooming gang element.
And BiasedBBC choose to do a programme about her
Hey there are still traumatised real failed victims in multiple cities all over the UK, who didn’t make it all up, yes, what about them?”
The timing could not be worse, and anyone with shred of decency should be clearly seen it. The BBC could have put this Williams documentary out on day this year, and yet somehow just selected today.
I think that is appalling. “
If the release date was just a coincidence I would expect to find the PR on BBC webpages
but I can’t find any old pages with the that , when I check cached pages it’s all been added since
It’s kind of weird of BBCthree to release such a doco without tweeting well in advance
First ever tweet by anyone was on Monday night
Nothing before that from the makers @FirecrestFilms
A bunch of Tamil Asians try to sail to Canada so they can get into the Country illegally and live off the State as apparently they don’t like their own Country.
However, as usual, their boat is clapped out so they get shipwrecked and end up on a remote Island operated by the UK as a military base. (Which was probably the plan all along).
Now the UN are saying the British are b***tards as the Island is not suitable for the immigrants and they must be moved.
No doubt they want the UK to fly them to Heathrow and get them all into Premier Inns ASAP.
You could not make this shit up!
We need to leave the UN, the WHO the ECHR and WEF if we are ever going to be a stable Country again as the thugs who really run these outfits hate Britain and will do what it takes to smash our independence to bits.
The problem is not Islamism, the problem is Islam.
Wiki defines Islamism as: “a political ideology which seeks to enforce Islamic precepts and norms as generally applicable rules for people’s conduct; and whose adherents seek a state based on Islamic values and laws (sharia) and rejecting Western guiding principles, such as freedom of opinion, freedom of the press, artistic freedom and freedom of religion.”
Point by point, that is simply a definition of islam.
Or, to put it another way, there is no demarcation line between the two terms. It’s a continuum. Islam shades imperceptibly into Islamism which shades imperceptibly into radicalism, which shades imperceptibly into extremism which shades imperceptibly into terrorism. Imperceptibly, but very quickly.
Every ‘good’ muslim is enjoined to impose islam by any means, to spread it worldwide by Jihad, and to enforce sharia law.
I was not referring to contributors here, but to the tendency of the msm and the BBC to blame islamic terror and warfare on a few ‘activists’, or ‘radicals’, or ‘militants’, or ‘extremists’.
Whenever possible they leave out any mention of the word islam altogether or, at most, they refer to ‘islamists’.
Vlad – I take the point – another couple of words avoided by the BBC is ‘Islamic terrorists ‘ … bit like their attitude about they friends the Hamas terrorists …
“Like any society, Gaza’s future is its children. But here, they’re disproportionately victims of war and, says the UN, may lose out completely on what should be rightfully theirs […] ‘There are today more than half a million children in the primary and secondary school system. How will they go back if you cannot bring people back to their homes which have been completely destroyed…'”
Meanwhile in Sudan… Africans are being slaughtered; 7.4m have been forced out of their homes, 19m kids out of school. But it’s an ethnic cleansing by Arabs so you won’t hear much hand wringing from the BBC or UN.
“Mayo councillors pass motion calling on local authority to cease co-operation on housing refugees […] The motion called on Mayo County Council to request that the Government immediately ceases leasing any property intended to be used in future as tourist accommodation for the purposes of housing refugees or asylum seekers.”
Don’t know how successful it will be but interesting to see some pushback at council level.
Whatever one thinks about the Royal Family, the way it reveals the sheer nasty, often hidden face of the far left is indeed informing:
“Cruel trolls target William for looking after Kate Middleton: Anti-monarchist groups and critics use royal health crisis to criticise King Charles and Prince and Princess of Wales and brand them ‘workshy'”
Zephir
“Whatever one thinks of the Royal Family” I feel that our far left people need to read and understand exactly what became of the Romanov Royal Family in the year 1918 in Russia at the hands of the far left. Not nice.
Unbelievable.
BBC 1 pm news.
The racist BBC features the Measles outbreak and lack of vaccine uptake. For the first time in months they feature white parents and white children in school playgrounds.
And not once mentioned the huge impact of immigration, Muslims not wanting to use vaccines which contain a pork ingredient, new arrivals who do not speak English.
Talk about re-writing the news in order ‘not to cause offence’.
No wonder the grooming gangs in Rochdale got away Scot free for years.
Tomo,
Who couldn’t see this coming years ago? All it takes is the technology to back up the lies and they can make the public believe ANYTHING. Weapons of mass-deception.
We are going to have to brace ourselves for a much higher (or lower?) level of lying. We’ll be better off not buying anything they put forth.
Thanks to Aunty at least we now have some experience of piecing together the truth or something close to it. Based on what they are telling us. We will likely be better off not tuning in most of the time. Avoid the drip-feed brain washing.
Who is the PM really? Who really won the war? Was there a war? Are we really out of fuel? Is anything really bad or good for you? Who did what, where & when?
There was a story on the BBC London News about a C of E school in Walthamstow encouraging it’s pupils to be welcoming to refugees.
Of course they wheel out a refugee and his daughter, who express their gratitude through an interpreter, and talk to someone from a nearby mosque who says something about the shared values of the two faiths (tacitly admitting that refugees are all going to be Muslims?).
Then we heard from the little pupils themselves, who seem properly indoctrinated. Seems a bit irresponsible to me to encourage kids to be welcoming to illegals, but I’m not an education professional.
Speaking for the school was one Amir Lemouchi, listed below as Executive Principal.
3 Nov 2022 Police are investigating reports that a teenager was raped and a child sexually assaulted at a hotel being used to house refugees in Waltham.
17 Nov 2022 “MP hits out after asylum seeker accused of rape goes on the run from Aylesbury Vale hotel
The 39-year-old was transferred from Waltham Forest to approved premises in Buckingham, according to a Bucks MP.”
“don’t forget so called refugees from Walthamstow 8 have been convicted of terrorism”
Ame Tunkara, 33, Morounranti Adefila, 43, Danny Ohen, 39, and Bridget Aideyan, 49, were later charged with ill-treatment and wilful neglect.
Trial #1 was May 2023, Trial #2 was Sept 2023
Sentencing was in Nov and Dec
just 4 months each, one got 6 months
And on a related topic, that criminal O’Biden strengthens China and Russia while weakening America and the West by his insane energy policies.
“President Biden has Opened the Door to Allow China to Undermine our Energy Security
BIDEN’S WAR ON AFFORDABLE AND AVAILABLE ENERGY
“Since Day 1 in office, President Biden has waged war on the affordability and availability of American manufacturing and energy.
“It began with the cancelation of the Keystone XL pipeline, the ‘green lighting’ of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, and the moratorium on energy production on federal lands.
“Those early decisions strengthened OPEC, including Russia, undermining American energy security as Russia attacked Ukraine.
“It has also increased our reliance on our adversaries, like China.”
TWatO Watch #1 – ahem, as I recall, Labour were against steel manufacturing in the UK
Jonny ‘disjointed Dalek’ Dymond was hesitating and pausing his way through TWatO as the Montacutie doesn’t like Fridays, much in the same way as some don’t like Mondays, eh Bob? The subject of job losses at the TATA STEEL site in south Wales came up and Jonny interviewed the shadow Waste of Space for Labour as Business and Skills saddo, Jonathan Reynolds.
Jonny could have asked the killer question of Reynolds but probably held back because the BBC only like to embarass Conservative Ministers and the PM. If I recall correctly, the Labour Party opposed the opening of a coal mine in Cumbria that would have provided coking coal to make steel at an adjacent site. Reynolds claimed that steel making was essential to the UK. I would have plunged in with my question at that point.
The BBC are the main Socialist propaganda outlet so I think if Sir Keir becomes our Leader, Auntie will have an orgasm in her- deepest red- knickers.

Let me see if I’ve got this right. You are going to design a vaccine and persuade the world to take it. Then you design the virus and monitor the effects on the vaccinated vs. the unvaccinated? If the results don’t stack up you simply release another virus? That’s what it sounds like to me. I’ll pass, I think, at least until the
vacc-stasi come knocking.
guy runs a Labour Party PR account to troll righties

Yet then goes on about the price of *GAS*

Projection is a libmob characteristic
So called “Clean energy” isn’t cheap either, that’s why corps don’t run it unless it is SUBSIDISED in a variety of ways
Oh BTW no 54% of UK *ENERGY* did not come from renewables
#1 ENERGY use is vastly dominated by fossil fuels, electricity is only about 20% of UK energy use
#2 ..54% even for electricity alone seems implausible since 2022 was 41.5% renewables
strangely different activists have used the same line at different times
“As I type renewables are supplying 54% of UK electricity.”
… Yes indeed lazy workers like wind can have temporary spurts and do towards of 60%
but lazy workers are no consistent

Well, it’s started again: Trump Derangement Syndrome is kicking off.
Whoopi Goldberg, as ugly as she is stupid, warns that Trump will “round up the gay folks and the journalists… and disappear them”.
Yes, in her deranged mind he’s going to exterminate all journalists. (If only he’d extend the courtesy to the BBC.)
Meanwhile over on MSNBC, Rachel Maddow – affectionately known as Mad-cow – warns of coming authoritarianism and Fascism.
On the same channel, black racist Joy Reid blames Trump’s victory in Iowa on those horrible “white Christians”, shudder.
And on and on. We’ve got another 10 months of this madness so I’ll spare you the Hollywood lunatics’ hysterical reactions.
Be sure that the Swamp will throw everything they can at Trump, including, if lawfare and vote-rigging doesn’t work, assassination.
I hope he has a good security team… Private security, because the national security agencies have been utterly corrupted by that criminal Obama.

Watching something the other night, not sure if BBC or other.
But remarkably it was about poor blacks in Chicago, I assume south side.
Basically Chicago is a haven for immigrants. Many indigenous black residents have noticed their tax dollars are not being spent on anything that will help themselves but going to the asylum seekers and they are are getting resentful. Their arguments would give the UK Far Left apoplexy. To them, Biden is toast – so Trump is eating even into that vote.
On a separate note, except not quite, I had cause to discover that US census/ survey data suggests that Washington DC has by far the highest % gay population of all the USStates. ( OK it’s not a state but a district) at over 14%. The average is 3-5%.
If the seat of government is so unrepresentative and divorced from ordinary people, and the Democrats are full of woke, is there any wonder those Chicago south side blacks I mentioned feel so let down?

I hope the Iranian v paki war doesn’t overshadow the Post `office Horror ( it’s worse than a scandal ) so it is good to even see a barrister making a public apology of his part in prosecuting the innocent ….
Obviously an apology isn’t going to be unqualified – he was acting on ‘instructions ‘…. And the use of the expert evidence the post office supplied to knowingly obtain the perversion of justice …. And are now effing caught after so long ….
…. I want to add – I know more than most about ‘expert evidence ‘ in courts – both civil and criminal – part of my LLM was on that ‘dry’ subject – but one of the issues about expert evidence is a sort of core belief by the court that their evidence is tendered without dishonesty – yet in the post office case the expert computer evidence – unchallengeable – was a devastating weapon to defeat justice . BTW I’m not a lawyer – but the more I think about the post office victims – the angrier I get about it ….
Those responsible should be offered a loaded revolver and a glass of whisky – but honour doesn’t go that far now ….

It is amazing how fast the politcal elites will run from a problem like this when it’s raised with them.
My local Labour MP even lied to the press that no PostMasters had approached her about it despite me having a letter from her about it.
The local Lib Dem guy who originally wrote to them on my behalf has retired and I no longer have his number, not one of them wants to talk to me about it.
It’s astonishing they claim to go into politics to help people, but that is clearly a lie. They go into it to push their own agendas and make money out of it.

I had a similar issue with our local Conservative MP at the time, Stephen O’Brien. He is or was a Lawyer so I wrote to him regarding some defective legislation which he must have seen pass through Parliament which was enabling some legal outfit to rip me off. He wrote back to say as the case was in progress he couldn’t do anything. I imagine many people being taken to task unfairly by the Authorities, Councils, HMRC etc will receive similar cop out replies from their MP’s. Technically they may be correct in arguing that the matter might be sub judice but they would have every right as an authorised representative in making enquiries.
Stephen O’Brien went onto to ponce about in some grace and favour UN job and is now a Knighted W****r.

Thirty protesters were arrested, and three officers were injured.’

There are similarities between the BBC and Post Office…. as “Independent” public bodies.
ICL were, at one stage a government company as were / are the Post Office.
International Computers Limited was formed in 1968 as a part of the Industrial Expansion Act of the Wilson Labour Government. ICL was an initiative of Tony Benn, the Minister of Technology, to create a British computer industry that could compete with major world manufacturers like IBM; the formation of the company was the last in a series of mergers that had taken place in the industry since the late 1950s.
Fujitsu … – is a *very* tangled web from a business environment quite alien to most Anglos rooted in the Zaibatsu environment. Zaibatsus have *huge* political clout… some might claim that government is a Fujitsu department. (The BBC see this and are envious?)

Diverse. Communities. Whenever the BBC use those words you know exactly what they mean and what they don’t want to say.
So let’s look at Camden. Where an interviewee came from. Who managed not to mention facts like these.
Non UK identity 26%
England as country of birth 52%
Muslim religion 16%
Mmm. Could this be why the vaccine is not taken up?
A ‘high level’ of ‘new arrivals’ was briefly mentioned.
Moving on quickly.
Up in the West Midlands (any clues there), Dame Jenny Harries put her head above the parapet and mentioned that Muslim communities were vaccine averse because the vaccine contains a pork ingredient. But she sad there was another vaccine without a pork ingredient. So that’s all right then.

Not BBC but note the obvious in this Yahoo Article .
The boyfriend of a 20-year-old woman who was killed after the car she was in pulled into the wrong driveway in upstate New York told a court of the “frantic” scenes after she was shot.
Blake Walsh, also 20, was driving the car with Kaylin Gillis and two other friends inside. He told the courtroom how he heard a shot hit the car and then saw his girlfriend slumped over in the passenger’s seat, The Associated Press reported.
“Frantic in the car … people were screaming,” he said, describing the moment Gillis was hit by gunfire, as he testified that another friend saw a man shooting at them.
Mr Walsh said he remembered telling his friend, Katherine Rondeau, who was leading the group to a party in Hebron, that they needed to find a hospital. “I thought I knew where I was going,” Ms Rondeau told the jury.
The group had to travel several miles for cell service to make a 911 call. Eventually, a dispatcher coached them through CPR until first responders could arrive. Gillis died shortly after they arrived at the scene.
The owner of the property they accidentally strayed onto, Kevin Monahan, 66, was later charged with second-degree murder and tampering with evidence.
The court was told that after realising they were at the wrong house, the group turned their two cars and one motorcycle around and quickly tried to leave the property.
Prosecutors say that is when the defendant came onto his porch and fired two shots at the vehicles, the second of which killed Gillis.
Mr Monahan’s defence attorneys told the jury that the firearm went off accidentally, but a firearms expert testified this week that the gun was functioning properly at the time of her death.
Gillis’s death happened around the same time as two other high-profile shootings.
Ralph Yarl, then 16, thought he was picking his younger siblings up from their babysitter’s home in Missouri when he was shot in the head by a white man. Andrew Lester, 84, pleaded not guilty for shooting the Black teen. His trial has been set for 7 October 2024.
Payton Washington, a cheerleader at Baylor University in Texas, was shot three times and seriously injured after her friend accidentally got into the wrong car. She was hit in her right buttock and once in the back, resulting in an injury to her abdomen.

Let’s go further together edition
This morning’s accidental gem of awkward juxtaposition comes with our Financial Times where the frontpage report: Tata to lay off 2,800 Port Talbot staff before shift to greener steelmaking – sits uneasily beside the prime page one advertising spot bought by Bain & Co (American management consulting company headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts. The firm provides advice to public, private, and non-profit organizations – thank you Wiki): their bold ad copy reads: Move beyond sustainability commitments to action – seems the Tata Steel corporation have complied with that call to action
The Bain ad blurb continues with the usual lefty-inspired corporate gobbledegook with which our C-suites appear so enamoured these days: As a firm, as a partner to our clients, and a champion for global communities, Bain is creating a more sustainable, equitable and inclusive world. Let’s go further together.
I suppose three thousand workers thrown onto the dole in Port Talbot – whatever their previous salary – will at least find a certain equality in state benefits.
Tata Steel is set to cut 3,000 jobs across the UK and close both blast furnaces in Port Talbot, south Wales, the BBC is told (BBC)
Then there will be the fall out damage done to the local economy – sustainability is good for global communities… (as Bain & Co would have it) – just not for the Port Talbot community
Still, look on the bright side, eh BBC?
Tata steel: What do plans mean for UK’s carbon footprint… The company’s plans to shut its blast furnaces could cut Wales’ carbon emissions by as much as a fifth… Tata’s Port Talbot plant is also the UK’s biggest single emitter of planet-warming carbon dioxide. (BBC)

Ha ha….you lot really are dumb as a box of rocks. They have been geoengineering for decades. Even when they tell you, you refuse to accept it.
https://www.science.org/content/article/bill-gates-funding-geoengineering-research
“Billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates has been supporting a wide array of research on geoengineering since 2007, ScienceInsider has learned. The world’s richest man has provided at least $4.5 million of his own money over 3 years for the study of methods that could alter the stratosphere to reflect solar energy, techniques to filter carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere, and brighten ocean clouds. But Gates’s money has not funded any field experiments involving the techniques, according to Ken Caldeira of the Carnegie Institution for Science in Palo Alto, California.”
Caldeira and physicist David Keith of the University of Calgary in Canada have been in charge of deciding how to dispense the money. The pair have been informal energy and climate advisers to Gates for several years, and they say they remain independent. “This is philanthropic money and when it arrives [to Calgary] Gates does not control it,” says Keith.
Recipients of the funding include Armand Neukermans, an inventor based in Silicon Valley who is working with colleagues to design spray systems for the marine clouds, and students and scientists working for Keith and Caldeira. Funding has also helped support scientific meetings in geoengineering in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Edinburgh, Scotland, and aeronautics research related to altering the stratosphere.
So Gates just gives them millions but has no control over how they spend it. I dare say you believe this too.

Yesterday a Sikh mate said to me “Have you seen the brilliant new ITV drama called Liar about the girl who made false allegations on ROCHDALE ?”
I said surely you mean Ellie Williams in Barrow In Furness and BTW when TR went to visit the town he met one of the Pakistanis who had been accused by her, and straight away recognised the accusations must be false. So he immediately made a video about it .. and the police then seized his video equipment and banned him from town. And that same Pakistani was at the cenotaph walking with TR.
I just tried to find such a TV drama. It’s not on ITV

@James_Treadwell tweets
A day later and BBC breakfast is promoting its new documentary on Ellie Williams;
“Liar, the fake grooming scandal”, is available from today, apparently.
The timing, given recent revelations of ongoing failures on Rochdale abuse could be considered a little odd or insensitive.
Here are countless poor girls utterly failed by the system, oh, but we happen to have a documentary about the exceptional case where one lied, so we just scheduled it for broadcast at precisely the time that the failures of institutions and powerful actors is under the spotlight.
Authorities failed to act, crimes became ‘too sensitive’ when victims could have been prevented.
Victims were blamed while perpetrators weaponised progressive liberal sentiments and hid in sight.
Our criminal justice systems are still failing to hear the voices of CSE victims.
So here is an exceptionally rare individual and one-off case case where a woman lied and claimed fake grooming gang element.
And BiasedBBC choose to do a programme about her
Hey there are still traumatised real failed victims in multiple cities all over the UK, who didn’t make it all up, yes, what about them?”
The timing could not be worse, and anyone with shred of decency should be clearly seen it.
The BBC could have put this Williams documentary out on day this year, and yet somehow just selected today.
I think that is appalling. “

Can we be honest, for a change?
The problem is not Islamism, the problem is Islam.
Wiki defines Islamism as: “a political ideology which seeks to enforce Islamic precepts and norms as generally applicable rules for people’s conduct; and whose adherents seek a state based on Islamic values and laws (sharia) and rejecting Western guiding principles, such as freedom of opinion, freedom of the press, artistic freedom and freedom of religion.”
Point by point, that is simply a definition of islam.
Or, to put it another way, there is no demarcation line between the two terms. It’s a continuum. Islam shades imperceptibly into Islamism which shades imperceptibly into radicalism, which shades imperceptibly into extremism which shades imperceptibly into terrorism. Imperceptibly, but very quickly.
Every ‘good’ muslim is enjoined to impose islam by any means, to spread it worldwide by Jihad, and to enforce sharia law.

But here, they’re disproportionately victims of war and, says the UN, may lose out completely on what should be rightfully theirs […] ‘There are today more than half a million children in the primary and secondary school system. How will they go back if you cannot bring people back to their homes which have been completely destroyed…'”
Meanwhile in Sudan… Africans are being slaughtered; 7.4m have been forced out of their homes, 19m kids out of school. But it’s an ethnic cleansing by Arabs so you won’t hear much hand wringing from the BBC or UN.

Ireland migrant protests —
“Mayo councillors pass motion calling on local authority to cease co-operation on housing refugees […] The motion called on Mayo County Council to request that the Government immediately ceases leasing any property intended to be used in future as tourist accommodation for the purposes of housing refugees or asylum seekers.”
Don’t know how successful it will be but interesting to see some pushback at council level.

Whatever one thinks about the Royal Family, the way it reveals the sheer nasty, often hidden face of the far left is indeed informing:
“Cruel trolls target William for looking after Kate Middleton: Anti-monarchist groups and critics use royal health crisis to criticise King Charles and Prince and Princess of Wales and brand them ‘workshy'”

“Whatever one thinks of the Royal Family” I feel that our far left people need to read and understand exactly what became of the Romanov Royal Family in the year 1918 in Russia at the hands of the far left. Not nice.

Unbelievable.
BBC 1 pm news.
The racist BBC features the Measles outbreak and lack of vaccine uptake. For the first time in months they feature white parents and white children in school playgrounds.
And not once mentioned the huge impact of immigration, Muslims not wanting to use vaccines which contain a pork ingredient, new arrivals who do not speak English.
Talk about re-writing the news in order ‘not to cause offence’.
No wonder the grooming gangs in Rochdale got away Scot free for years.

Tomo,
Who couldn’t see this coming years ago? All it takes is the technology to back up the lies and they can make the public believe ANYTHING. Weapons of mass-deception.
We are going to have to brace ourselves for a much higher (or lower?) level of lying. We’ll be better off not buying anything they put forth.
Thanks to Aunty at least we now have some experience of piecing together the truth or something close to it. Based on what they are telling us. We will likely be better off not tuning in most of the time. Avoid the drip-feed brain washing.
Who is the PM really? Who really won the war? Was there a war? Are we really out of fuel? Is anything really bad or good for you? Who did what, where & when?

There was a story on the BBC London News about a C of E school in Walthamstow encouraging it’s pupils to be welcoming to refugees.
Of course they wheel out a refugee and his daughter, who express their gratitude through an interpreter, and talk to someone from a nearby mosque who says something about the shared values of the two faiths (tacitly admitting that refugees are all going to be Muslims?).
Then we heard from the little pupils themselves, who seem properly indoctrinated. Seems a bit irresponsible to me to encourage kids to be welcoming to illegals, but I’m not an education professional.
Speaking for the school was one Amir Lemouchi, listed below as Executive Principal.

“Nut zero” – nice one.
And on a related topic, that criminal O’Biden strengthens China and Russia while weakening America and the West by his insane energy policies.
“President Biden has Opened the Door to Allow China to Undermine our Energy Security
BIDEN’S WAR ON AFFORDABLE AND AVAILABLE ENERGY
“Since Day 1 in office, President Biden has waged war on the affordability and availability of American manufacturing and energy.
“It began with the cancelation of the Keystone XL pipeline, the ‘green lighting’ of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, and the moratorium on energy production on federal lands.
“Those early decisions strengthened OPEC, including Russia, undermining American energy security as Russia attacked Ukraine.
“It has also increased our reliance on our adversaries, like China.”

TWatO Watch #1 – ahem, as I recall, Labour were against steel manufacturing in the UK
Jonny ‘disjointed Dalek’ Dymond was hesitating and pausing his way through TWatO as the Montacutie doesn’t like Fridays, much in the same way as some don’t like Mondays, eh Bob? The subject of job losses at the TATA STEEL site in south Wales came up and Jonny interviewed the shadow Waste of Space for Labour as Business and Skills saddo, Jonathan Reynolds.
Jonny could have asked the killer question of Reynolds but probably held back because the BBC only like to embarass Conservative Ministers and the PM. If I recall correctly, the Labour Party opposed the opening of a coal mine in Cumbria that would have provided coking coal to make steel at an adjacent site. Reynolds claimed that steel making was essential to the UK. I would have plunged in with my question at that point.
Jonny did not.
Is my memory faulty?

There’s a reason Khan refuses to go on Nick Ferraris show.
He’ll only be interviewed by his fellow Labour Party campaigners.
An unfunny joke.
Like most media.
Can’t wait for Mishal and Sangita to get their fangs into that plod quote, again forgetting a long list of atrocities on our shores already.

Let me see if I’ve got this right. You are going to design a vaccine and persuade the world to take it. Then you design the virus and monitor the effects on the vaccinated vs. the unvaccinated? If the results don’t stack up you simply release another virus? That’s what it sounds like to me. I’ll pass, I think, at least until the
vacc-stasi come knocking.
Follow the money……………….

guy runs a Labour Party PR account to troll righties
See how he accuses @TiceRichard of “False Statements”
Yet then goes on about the price of *GAS*
killing blast furnaces
A FALSE STATEMENT since blast furnaces are NOT fueled by gas, it’s COAL
As ever when hatey lefties accuse you of something , it’s a projection of what they do themselves
Projection is a libmob characteristic
So called “Clean energy” isn’t cheap either, that’s why corps don’t run it unless it is SUBSIDISED in a variety of ways

Oh BTW no 54% of UK *ENERGY* did not come from renewables
#1 ENERGY use is vastly dominated by fossil fuels, electricity is only about 20% of UK energy use
#2 ..54% even for electricity alone seems implausible since 2022 was 41.5% renewables

strangely different activists have used the same line at different times
“As I type renewables are supplying 54% of UK electricity.”
