    Perhaps the BBC’s journalists have missed something. Many of our UK banks had on-line problems this morning. Not a peep or squeak about it from the BBC. Are the BBC’s many journalists and Editors doing a good job?

    I do not think so.

      Well in my humble opinion BBC staff do a very good job of playing with their ding a ling. The problem is that the twats seem to need my assistance in doing so and want me to pay for the privilege.

      Microsoft cloud software (Office 365, Outlook etc) has been hiccuping ( logins not working, accounts seemingly “zeroed”!)since Wednesday (subsided earlier today for a lot of users) it seems like Microsoft might’ve had a break-in.

      IT support company for a location I use said they’d fix … and call back …… just as well I didn’t hold my breath.

    Hello all, including Maxi,
    I’d like the MSM to do some real research. In asylum seeker cases, such as the ongoing Ezedi hunt, how do they afford the apparent vast sums to buy air tickets, then maybe 1 or 2 boat trips, then buy a car with insurance, MOT, on top of their weekly expenses. Also paying for driving lessons, test and waiting the year/18 months. And paying for a phone contract…

    I am going through all that with my sons, now young men, and it’s hard to get them on the way in the world – they are very frustrated with their country, to put it mildly. They are good lads, and I think given the chance they will be out of here like a shot.

    Over to you Maxi – words of wisdom?

    Well I hope the people supporting the slaughter in Gaza are happy, now the US have started obeying Netanyahus commands they are bombing Iran and Syria in a war which the West cannot win.

    Russia and China are already saying they will not allow the corrupt West to destroy the sovereign state of Iran, and it looks like this is the longed for start of WWIII

    Great move guys, you were warned this was going to come and said that it was worth it to kill some Gazan kids, now the Iranians are likely to wipe out all the Western bases in the Middle East and if China and Russia do get involved in any major way we are truly finished.

        They don’t, but they do about Iran, and they’ve drawn a line in the sand over US aggression in the region. China is getting a lot of gas and oil from Iran, and they don’t want that to be compromised by idiots controlled by Jewish money with little in the way of brains.

        As Tucker Carlsson described them this week F***ing lunatics.

        The US cannot win a war against Iran let alone with China Russia,and probably Turkey, the entire Muslim world backing them. It’s not going to end well.

        So no they don’t give a shite about Gaza, it’s a fulcrum that anyone with any sense could have seen, but Netanyahu has lost his.

          I got mixed feelings about the new American strikes, I like the loud mouthed Iranians getting pulverised, but if they’re too successful it’ll makes Biden look good 🤔

    Clapham attack suspect Abdul Shokoor Ezedi last seen at King’s Cross
    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-68186427

    A man throws alkali over a women and her daughter then goes on the run. We are using the phrase ‘life changing injuries’ to hide just how horrific this attack was.

    On any normal day, this would be huge news for the BBC and would most certainly be a front-page, ‘live-update’ story until he is caught.

    Instead it’s just a small sub-pane on the UK page.

    Because the mans name is Abdul Shokoor Ezedi and he’s an illegal immigrant sex offender from Afghanistan who we allowed to stay here.

    Once again the Leftists at the BBC show us clearly that their agenda is more important than a woman and children having their faces melted by such a barbaric attack.

    Shame on you BBC and all those who cheerlead for you. You disgust me.

      It is front-page in the UK.

      You’re looking at the international BBC-dot-com site because you’re in Thailand. Duh.

    Robot plane to map mysteries of wild Antarctica
    https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-68170278

    In this story the BBC concentrate on ‘Engineer Rebecca Toomey’ who they tell us ‘will operate the drone in Antarctica’.

    Single handidly apparently:
    ‘Rebecca will operate the drone from Rothera base in Antarctica.’

    A little research tells us Rebecca is ‘airworthiness lead at Windracers’

    ‘Airworthiness’ is a purely admin role. They are:

    ‘responsible for organizing, planning, conducting, and successfully ensuring that the aircraft complies with its type certificate and any authorized modifications.’

    It’s a mountain of paperwork making sure all test report, design documents etc are to the right standard, properly reviewed by others etc etc. When I worked on such things right in the engineering team, we never had anything to do with them.

    But it seems they actually fly the plane on the BBC !.

    Just think of all those males involved who did the real work and never got a mention. More BBC sexist discrimination. At least they managed to not be racist as well.

    Nottingham: Video shows group wielding machetes in city centre
    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-68184043

    ‘A video showing youths apparently wielding machetes in broad daylight in a city centre has emerged on social media.’

    Despite the BBC blurring the entire head so we can’t even tell their colour, the hands give it away again. And if they blurred those as well, it would be very, very obvious what they were up to.

    So I searched for the original and very strangely it’s nowhere to be found. Just the censored BBC version.

    The first video which came up on my search was this:
    CCTV video appears to show police arresting Nottingham attack suspect

    A triple knife attack no less.

    And guess what – he’s black as well. What are the chances of that ?.

    It seems Nottingham is the next city to fall to the scurge of the black gangs, their machetes and their culture of drugs and violent murder. They will all go one by one like dominos – either to this or to Islam.

    This is the result of the failed multicultural experiment which the BBC are still pushing hard. The middle class luvvies at the BBC won’t realise the magnitude of what they have done until it finally reaches their leafy housing developments.
