Start the week 5th February 2024

In the last week the BBC has been forced to release 3000 emails concerning the fraud on Princess Diana , the publications of anti semitic hate social media by a BBC manager and yesterday the story of BBC manager giving ‘expert evidence ‘ to support criminal Somalians trying to get ‘asylum ‘… take your pick – and that’s just the vile BBC stuff we know about .
And you still pay for the BBC ?

    No doubt the MSM will now be bombarding the public with horrific tales of long waiting lists for cancer treatment and blaming the covid plandemic and lockdowns. Big pharma probably working at warp speed to produce a vaccine. As to the causes of the sudden surge of cancer diagnosis, there may be other reasons for it.

    Douglas Murray was prevented from giving a talk yesterday by the Islamofascists and their fellow-travellers on the Left.

    He’s seething with rage, and calling for the police, the politicians and the general public to grow a pair and show some courage in the face of the existential threat to our freedoms.

    Thank Allah for platforms like Talk TV and GB News, without which we’d never even know, if it were left up to the BBC to inform us.

    That said, it might already be too late, short of an almighty uprising.

    Thing is with GBN now is the amount of “resident” opinionaters who are on a rota system. Matthew Laza and Matthew “this is important” Stadler who are on a nice earner on a daily basis. Clearly they spend their time in the green room all day until their next 20 minute appearance.

    It seems the dud broadcasters – bbc – itv – c4 are starting up some sort of internet channel – ‘freely ‘ in the summer ….. despite something called ‘britbox ‘ having been dumped last year after failing .
    Do you get the reason ? It’s because so much of the output is woke crap – and the archive becomes woke crap who 85% plus of the population realise and won’t watch – broadband or not …..
    ……on the upside if the bbc wastes more money on another failure that can only be good for us …

    The BBC’s top story all day on its world page…

    ‘Israel-Gaza war: Unknown fate of six-year-old Hind Rajab trapped under fire’

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-68180642

    Trouble is there’s not an ounce of proof that it happened as reported….there’s a recording of the phone call but no proof it’s real…the only people who could corroborate it have ‘disappeared’…the girl and the paramedics sent to help them…

    ‘It was the last operators heard from their colleagues – or from Hind. The line to both paramedics, and to the six-year-old girl they came to rescue, disconnected for good.’

    Hmmm…

    ‘In the meantime, the Red Crescent team had reached Hind’s mother, Wissam, and patched her phone line into the call.’

    How did they find the mother who was travelling separately from the 5 year old? Did they physically find her or somehow contact her by phone?…it’s not clear from the way it’s written.

    Just how good was the girl’s phone battery?

    ‘Operator Rana Faqih stayed on the line with Hind for hours, as the Red Crescent appealed to the Israeli army to allow their ambulance to access the location.’

    Something may well have happened but this is a highly emotive story, given huge prominence by the BBC, about a very incendiary issue that seems to have been cobbled together on very flimsy evidence deliberately and knowingly turned into a very provocative and sensationalist story meant to inflame passions and create anger and hate towards Israelis and inevitably towards Jews everywhere.

    Maybe the BBC should have waited this one out until they got the full story and all the facts before trying to set the world alight.

      Absolutely puggy : that whole articles stinks of 1% truth, 99% BBC fabrication where all the residents of Gaza – right down to 6 year olds – speak excellent English and perfectly encapsulate the general tone of the current BBC agenda in concise sentences.

      Just look at this:
      ‘”Where is the International Court of Justice? Why are presidents sitting in their chairs?” Hind’s mother, Wissam, asked’

      Ridiculous.

      It’s clearly another fake article written by an activist BBC reporter based on a few nuggets of truth and who knows nobody can prove otherwise.

      It’s a good example of what the BBC have become. It’s not news at all. It’s part of their leftist anti-Jew, pro-Muslim campaign.

      Mystery fate of Gazan girl trapped in Israel-Hamas warzone

      “Will you come and get me?” was the desperate plea from six-year-old Hind Rajab to an emergency call operator a week ago. It’s thought she was the last living passenger of a car that was caught in an active combat zone in Gaza City. Her fate since making that phone call remains unknown. Our Middle East correspondent Lucy Williamson speaks to Hind’s mother and grandfather and the call operator as they search for answers about what has happened to this little girl and hope she’s found alive.“

      So… with her brother or dad in an active combat zone?

        The moral of the story is of course that when an army with tanks tell you will be safe if you take the road Souht, you don’t decide to go East and run into them.

        They might think you are a car full of terrorists with anti-tank missiles and RPG’s.

        Same as all the black people who get shot by the police. When a policeman tells you to put your hands up, you do that. You don’t lunge for a gun under your passenger seat.

        All of this is common sense. But what ISN’T is how the BBC never include how people broke those rules in their reports which led directly to their demise. They want portray them as innocent victims and swamp the story with empathy so you don’t question it.

        Which makes them activists who are quite prepared to cynically ‘lie by omission’ when it suits their agenda. But we’ve known that for a long time now. And so have OFCOM.

    Looking, looking, looking…not a word on the BBC site about the anti-migrant marches in Ireland today….the same BBC that put in an enormous amount of effort to subvert British law in order to allow the IRA terrorists to voice their propaganda.

    If you’re a murderous IRA terrorist who hates the British and protestants the BBC will cheerlead for you…if you’re someone who has grave concerns about the dire effects of mass immigration you’re a fascist and a racist and the BBC doesn’t want to know.

    Not that Redmond will send a warning to every Windows licensee…

    Last week we saw interruption of service on Outlook email and Office 365 Cloud services. It would seem that server access for MSeis’s server machines was also affected since you couldn’t VPN in to servers / domains. (saw all this unfold last Wednesday onwards)

    Please see the linked video : https://youtu.be/JZAJl374FCE (YouTube)

    Microsoft themselves got massively compromised.

    It seems likely that they won’t release the entirety / full extent of the security failure for months although the video does give some detail.

    Whodunnit? I don’t know – but I don’t expect an honest answer from Microsoft or the US/UK governments.

    I wonder if the EU or UKOIC will saddle up for a negligent data breach action?

    Douglas Murray event moved at eleventh hour after venue staff refuse to work
    https://www.jewishnews.co.uk/douglas-murray-event-moved-at-eleventh-hour-after-venue-staff-refuse-to-work/

    My phone threw this at me this morning and basically what happened is that it was a fundraiser for an Israeli Institute of Technology. It seems someone in the theatre leaked all the staff emails to some far-lefties who then sent threatening emails to them all about what would happen to them if they went to work.

    The Apollo cancelled the event, but they managed to hold it elsewhere.

    Now this is about as relevant to ‘Democracy’ and ‘free speech’ as you can get. And is absolutely the type of theing the nasty Left and their Muslim friends do to people they don’t like. So it seemed that it would be a good test of the BBC’s bias – because in the right circumstances, this would make the front page.

    Nada on the BBC. Nothing. They didn’t report it. And I didn’t expect them to. Because they will have been pleased about it.

    Once again we see free speech curtailed by intimidation – fascist Lefty style.

    So, King Charles, who has been cosseted since birth, best food, best healthcare, who also avoids meat, dairy and fish a few days a week, eats linseed for breakfast and only organic food with no additives; has cancer .

    He could easily pass for eighty years old by his looks…

    Meanwhile, although many have fallen by the wayside, many rock musicians such as ex Beatles, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page and Jagger (maybe not Keith Richards) look fine in their old age after a normal 1950s childhood followed by a mountain of alcohol, cocain and heroin, with endless touring, living in hotels and travelling thousands of miles around the world over and over, with little sleep for most of their lives.

    Genetics ? luck ? who knows.

    Dear Dawn Queva – I am writing to you as a
    recruitment officer at the BBC. We are pleased to
    be able to offer you a job as a senior scheduling
    coordinator at the BBC . As you tick all the boxes
    required.
    One important proviso is that you should not put
    your personal views on any of the social networks
    such as Facebook or Twitter. Of course most of us at the
    BBC hold similar views to you. And that is why you ticked so many
    boxes.
    May I suggest that if at any time
    you find that you cannot control your hatred against
    “the chosen people” and have to make these feelings known
    on the social network. I am afraid that only Gary Lineker is allowed to do this.
    However if the worse comes to the worse . There is always The Guardian .Or better still Novarra Media. I am sure that Owen Jones and Ash Sarkar would welcome you with open arms.

      Foscari – I predicted she’d get a job with Channel 4 next …. Anyway – I was thinking about the BBC and its’ attitude to the House of Windsor .
      We know – here – how much the BBC hates white normal Britain . It is denigrated at the drop of a hat – yet with the royals – there is an exception – even when they have obvious sinners such as Andrew Windsor – the adoration of royalty continues .

      And the reason for this ? I reckon there are several –

      1 a lot of people still have great regard for royalty – and to cross them might force a government to do something

      2 the government gives out the previous gongs royalty bestows – and this must be a career aspiration for so many of our enemies in the BBC – don’t want to kill off the golden goose

      3 criticising the monachy is still ‘avoid ‘ policy – see bashir

      4 there is still a kind of institutional memory -a small bit – where the bbc really was the bbc – and not a far left Britain hating Marxist social ‘justice ‘ monster intent on making the UK a failed socialist state.

      BTW – the king with cancer story must be a real challenge for some of those truly loony red labour MPs to not say something ‘unpleasant ‘….

    40 of the 300 illegal migrants on the barge have converted to Christianity. It’s obviously a scam but whatever one thinks of this, perhaps we should praise the 260 migrants that at least have some principles and remain with their Moslem faith.

    Incidentally, abandoning the Moslem faith is apostasy, punishable by death. One might wonder what tensions might arise on the barge.

    I know the Church from Welby down could be viewed as do-gooding idiots for allowing the Church to be used this way, I actually can’t blame them. If someone knocks on the door of the Church asking to become Christian, they can’t really refuse can they?

      Flotsam-i must tell you what I consider an amusing
      story. A religious Jewish bloke I know went to prison
      for quite a serious offence , not involving violence.
      There was only one other Jew in the prison as far as he knew.
      However he thought he would do some “good” in prison.
      He is very bright fellow. And he started running different classes .
      . The governor of the prison was very pleased with him.
      However there was a problem. All the prisoners in his classes
      got to know that he was able to get KOSHER food brought in .
      And some of you may know how nice a plate of chicken soup
      with all the extras is, followed by a salt beef sandwich.
      All of a sudden a plethora of prisoners of all different faiths
      and even Muslims who didn’t rate the Halal stuff brought in .
      As well as atheists decided that they wanted to become Jewish.
      And were even willing to be circumcised to have a plate of
      kosher chopped liver!
      So becoming a Christian without being circumcised for being
      allowed to stay in the UK . Even if you have committed crimes
      for which you should be deported , is child’s play, in comparison.

    Cause for concern edition

    My old mum used to have something of a catchphrase she would deploy in response to certain items she heard on the BBC tv news: “Here’s another cause for concern”

    You can guess at the sort of items she was responding to on our old telly – not news events as such but those reports and articles fashioned from whole cloth, so to speak. A giveaway might be a headline beginning: “A shock report out today…” “Statistics reveal…”; “A committee of MPs/campaign group/charity/community leaders… say…”

    BBC online news, anxious to preserve an outward show of balance representing some semblance of political neutrality, will often ‘scare quote’ for the sake of deniability when they carry regime appoved claims about the world – whereas our more frankly left-liberal media will headline their claims as read and only get around to some attribution deep within the small print.

    So it is we read: Social media ‘fuelling playgroud mysogyny’ – on the frontcover of the Guardian this morning : …according to a report. Researchers said… – full attribution will only be revealed on page 2 of the Gruan. (beyond our remit) However…. “Here’s another cause for concern”

    One can only guess at the fashioned out of whole cloth nature of this study: …content suggested by TikTok over a five-day period as the algorithm served more extreme videos that were often focused on anger and blame directed at women. (Guardian)

    Never Mind the Quality, Feel the Width was a British television sitcom first broadcast in 1967… plots revolve around two tailors in business together… (Thank you Wiki); It’s a saying used to persuade you that quantity is more important than quality. Originating from unscrupulous London backstreet tailors palming you off with cheap material instead of the good stuff for your suit (Thank you Catherine Jones, trainer & coach, social media strategy, LinkedIn)

    We’re sophisticated enough to know – those of us hereabouts at least who are paying attention – that the constant drumbeat of social media ’cause for concern’ scare stories carefully curated and placed into the mainstream is an accompanyment to centralised moves to censor and control dissident voices.

    Brianna Ghey’s mother calls for children to be banned from social media apps (Independent)

    ‘It’s the Wild West’: Brianna Ghey’s mum calls for social media ban for under-16s to prevent similar tragedies (LBC)

    But gosh, I wonder what sort of mainstream cultural messaging might be ‘fuelling playgroud mysogyny’ as the Guardian suggests – which sounds as though young males think they may be in some form of a highly competitive sex war with the females of the species?

    Now for one of those side by side juxtapositions of headlines that tend to give the game away in terms of media messaging – because beside the Guardian report: Social media ‘fuelling playgroud mysogyny’ – we have an article seized on by our BBC online news site press review pickers and headlined by the gynaeceum that is BBC Staff as simply: ‘women dominate Grammys’

    Record breaker… Taylor Swift makes history as women dominate the Grammys… Lucy Dacus, Taylor Swift and Pheobe Bridgers at the Grammy awards… (Guardian)

    Mr AsI will have to declare a non-interest here. He has never knowingly heard a Taylor Swift song.

    He does, however, recall an old gag about Canadian songstress of a slightly earlier era named Alanis Morissette – she has sold 85 million albums, none of them to men

    By the way, the Guardian frontpage this morning is a female only space. Top headline: King Charles diagnosed with cancer – is under the byline: Caroline Davis. Sally Weale Education correspondent writes that Social media ‘fuelling playgroud mysogyny’ report.

    Overseas-based journo Emine Sinmez in Tirana writes about the decidedly male habit of fighting age Albanians getting into rubber boats to arrive by sea illegally in Britain: A life cut short From Tirana to Bibby Stockholm.

    Then there’s the feature teaser: Felicity Huffman on life after prison… ‘Some people have been kind. Others not’ – calm down dear.

    Who she, you ask?

    Felicity Huffman says she broke the law to give her child ‘a chance at a future’ This article is more than 2 months old. Actor paid $15,000 for an exam proctor to change her daughter’s answers on the SAT and spent 11 days in prison in 2019 (Guardian) – 11 days is not exactly what they term a long stretch.

    Gay male celeb Ryan Clark does get a crack of the Guardian frontpage whip – but one might reflect that it’s just because he’s seen as a bit of a victim: ‘Nothing made sense’ Ryan Clark on surviving a breakdown (Guardian) – buck up, man.

    Oh, and putting the Gruan frontpage under the microscope one discovers that one Francis Specker/Getty Images (gender orientation unknown) has the photo credit for the Grammy winners pic.

      This should be a wake up call, reminding us of the risk of taking voters for granted.

                  Hundreds of Islamic radicals led by Saudi preacher Juhayman al-Otaybi invaded the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca, Islam’s holiest shrine, on Nov. 20, 1979. The intruders included men from all over the Muslim world and a handful of American converts. Tens of thousands of worshipers were trapped inside the compound. The battle for the shrine lasted two weeks, causing hundreds of deaths and ending only after the intervention of Saudi National Guard and French Special Forces.

    Hundreds of people queued outside a new dental practice in Bristol yesterday in hope of registering as NHS patients.
    Tara Miran is part of a group campaigning for more dental places in the area and tells #R4Today this shows ‘a snippet of the state of dentistry in this country’.

    Might this group of Ms. Miran’s be recent in the area?

    And keen on MPs like Misses Begum and Raisin Brane?

      You should note that it was Tony BLiars nu Liebour party which destroyed NHS dentistry, and it looks like kneeling surkeer will do the same to the NHS too.

      We saw a great move during BLiars time to the use of private medical companies which have greatly improved efficiency.

      I am given to understand that Red Labour MPs are being given large sums by private medical companies and we can only hope they will begin the destruction of the woefully bloated and far Left NHS monster.

    The UK government must move to proscribe Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). On 12 January 2023, the House of Commons debated a motion calling for the government to swiftly take this action, with the vote unanimously in favour.

    The IRGC is a violent, Islamist-extremist organisation that operates no differently to proscribed groups in the United Kingdom, including the Islamic State (ISIS), al-Qaeda and Hizbullah. This is apparent from its formal programme of indoctrination designed to radicalise members to adopt its hardline Islamist-extremist ideology as well as its use of terrorism, militancy, hostage-taking and hijacking as a modus operandi.

    For more than 43 years, the IRGC has been responsible for plotting global terrorist attacks, hostage-taking and other offences on foreign soil – including in Europe and the UK – as well as human-rights violations in Iran.

    Information from the internal training manuals used by the IRGC to radicalise recruits as part of its indoctrination programme:

    This evidence clearly showed that the ideology of the IRGC is both violent and extremist, and is based on a distortion of Islamic scripture no different to proscribed Islamist groups in the UK – from Hizbullah to ISIS and al-Qaeda.

    The IRGC justifies, glorifies and prioritises armed jihad against what it describes as the “enemies of Islam”, identified as non-Muslims and opponents of the regime (including Muslims).

    The materials used to radicalise the IRGC’s members explicitly calls on recruits to kill Jews, Christians and Zoroastrians through armed jihad because they “do not have true and acceptable faith” while underlining that it is “obligatory for Muslims to fight them to pressure them to give up their devious beliefs and to accept Islam”.

    The IRGC’s indoctrination materials also require its members to torture Iranians who oppose the Islamic Republic prior to their execution on the basis they are “waging war against God” (moharebs). The Guard’s textbooks outline four specific punishments for moharebs: “execution, hanging, cross-amputation (cutting off a hand and the opposite foot) and exile.

    The ongoing and recent protests in Iran have resulted in several protestors being executed and tortured on the charges of being a mohareb.

    The rise in necrophiliac rape is so widespread that parents of girls and young women have had to resort to putting locked gates on their graves to stop them being dug up and defiled.

      Bacha bāzī (Persian: بچه بازی, lit. ’boy play’)[1] is a practice in which men (sometimes called bacha baz) buy and keep adolescent boys (sometimes called dancing boys) for entertainment and sex.[2][3] It is a custom in Afghanistan and in historical Turkestan and often involves sexual slavery and child prostitution by older men of young adolescent males.[4]

      According to German ethnographic research, the phenomenon is up to a thousand years old. As far back as the 9th Century or 10th Century, the mountainous regions that are now northern Afghanistan were known for this practice.[5]

      A Labour MP has called for greater understanding of this cultural practice, and for the term necrophilia to be banned as it stigmatises the practitioners. Instead, the term ‘Attracted to Non-Living Persons’ or ANLP should be used. The MP stated: “A generation ago, LGBTQ+ people suffered hatred and prejudice for their preferences and nature, but now we accept that ‘All Love Is Love’. This is no different, and the sooner that society accepts both Minor Attracted Persons (MAP) and ANLPs, the better it will be”.

      The above is a hoax, but don’t be surprised to hear something similar in the future from a Labour MP. One of those gobby wimmin’ ones with a room temperature IQ and dependent on a certain demographic in her constituency.
