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 ?

    Our wonderful House of Lords getting all fratty about that good old scapegoat, “disinformation” in the press on Electric Vehicles viability and safety are campaigning for the suppression of any criticism or negativity in what we used to call The Free Press as sales of EV’s flatline.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-68130432

    Banning what doesn’t suit you personally seems to be a trend amongst certain groups now. Like someone said Henry Ford didn’t ban horses to sell his cars, they sold because people wanted them!

    Makes me wonder how many Lords and Ladies have invested in the EV industry?

    Plus how many of them still support free speech.

    They obviously live in a London bubble and cannot comprehend how totally useless EV’s are for most of the population outside the bloody M25 who don’t possess a garage or drive outside their home and drive long distances against the clock in rural areas frequently.

    Of course not to mention the mysterious spontaneous battery fires that seem to be a thing with EV’s.

      Katie bang on point as usual. Another example of ‘the community’ sheltering a Jihadi terrorist is the attempted murderer of Hatun Tash who just melted into the crowd at Speakers Corner despite there being multiple ‘police’ present (I use the term loosely) as well as surveillance and other cameras – never to be seen again. I suspect the police didn’t try very hard, either. Did they go banging on muslims’ doors? Of course not; they reserve that treatment for Christians, conservative bloggers and young white girls with mental problems.

    This is what it gets our incoming government ministers to bail.

    Today Lammy and Starmer tried to hold an event at the Bernie Grant centre in Tottenham. A protest was organised and the Labour Party cancelled. The Labour Party is now widely seen as a party that supports Israel’s genocidal actions. Well done all there.
    No Ceasefire No Vote

    Given they are followed by the BBC Press Office, mustering three soap dodgers, a teased shoulder and a bloke looking for the dog poo he just stepped in seems modest as a political force to be reckoned with.

      “Immigration Law Practitioners’ Association chairman Adrien Berry said: ‘It is hard to see how he first passed the judicial exams and then why it has taken so long for his lack of knowledge to be exposed.”

      When you give people special privilege above the law, you get no law and 1400 raped and tortured children over 16 years … ‘In August 2014 the Jay report concluded that at least 1,400 children, most of them white girls aged 11–15, had been sexually abused in Rotherham between 1997 and 2013 by predominantly British-Pakistani men.’

    TWatO Watch #1 – the BBC have some unpleasant duties in their quest for ‘balance’ …..

    ……. or they enjoy promoting some ‘dubious friends’ or even enemies of the UK. Sarah, after an interview with an American woman (fortunately without a high squeaky voice), who was in charge of US security overseas (sorry, don’t recall name as I returned home after the interview was underway) with the American setting out various options for dealing with the Houthis.

    Sarah then chatted with an Iranian (sorry, don’t remember name) who may have been an academic in Iran or even an adviser to the Iranian Government. This gentleman was well versed in Islamic taqiyya but applied it to Houthi strategy, ceasefire in Gaza and the ships attacked by Houthis in the Red Sea. He claimed the Houthis always gave a warning to a vessel before it was attacked. The BBC appeared to believe him, as they do with Hamas, UNRA spokespeople and sundry Palestinians. In addition when this man said only American, British and Israeli ships were attacked, unfortunately Sarah was not up-to-date with last weeks news and did not ask the Iranian contributor about an attack on a Russian ship.

    IT IS always a temptation to an armed and agile nation
    To call upon a neighbour and to say: –
    “We invaded you last night – we are quite prepared to fight,
    Unless you pay us cash to go away.”

    And that is called asking for Dane-geld,
    And the people who ask it explain
    That you’ve only to pay ’em the Dane-geld
    And then you’ll get rid of the Dane!

    It is always a temptation for a rich and lazy nation,
    To puff and look important and to say: –
    “Though we know we should defeat you, we have not the time to meet you.
    We will therefore pay you cash to go away.”

    And that is called paying the Dane-geld;
    But we’ve proved it again and again,
    That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld
    You never get rid of the Dane.

    It is wrong to put temptation in the path of any nation,
    For fear they should succumb and go astray;
    So when you are requested to pay up or be molested,
    You will find it better policy to say: —

    “We never pay any-one Dane-geld,
    No matter how trifling the cost;
    For the end of that game is oppression and shame,
    And the nation that plays it is lost!”

    Barry Gardiner MP vindicated by pay out in libel settlement for Chinese spy claim
    Barry Gardiner MP has received a pay out in settlement of his libel claim against News UK and Jeremy Kyle.

    Mr Gardiner MP was represented by Martin Howe of Howe & Co and Mark Henderson of Doughty Street Chambers.

    The claim related to a false statement by broadcaster Jeremy Kyle on his TalkRADIO show that Mr Gardiner had employed a Chinese spy in his office.

    TalkRADIO broadcasted an on air retraction and apology by Jeremy Kyle, and the claim has now been resolved with a financial settlement, including a payment towards Mr Gardiner’s legal costs. Mr Gardiner is using the settlement to make a donation to London Community Kitchen who operate a foodbank in Brent and Harrow.

    “At 69 years old, I have never felt so despondant of how things have got so bad. There is nothing whatsoever to look forward to. The government openly despise us, we are over run with immigration, I see families and communities in total desperation, relying on food banks, unable to heat their homes or losing their homes and anyone claiming benefits being accused of being fraudsters. An NHS in total crisis, anyone of pensionable age is a “burden on society” and industry left to rot.
    Margaret Thatcher once stated that we working class people are “the enemy within” and that is exactly how this government see us today.
    I am so glad I have lived most of my life when you felt good to be British, but i cannot say that now.
    The only thing I can say is good luck to all the young people having to live in this tory created shit hole.”

    Tomo above has a graph of the acceptance rates for asylum immigrants with several European Countries shown.
    We are winning with twice or three times the percentage accepted.
    It shows the first time acceptance. We all know ‘our’ Judges grant asylum to almost everyone if they keep re-applying should they be refused on their first application.

    My question is, where do all these other Countries send the failed asylum seekers to.
    They must be sending them somewhere.
    Are any other Countries putting them up in posh Hotels?

    Can we not learn (lessons will be learned) from other Countries how to handle the enricher numbers or are they all as bad at it as we are.

    This acid attacker Ezedi who said he is now a Christian.
    When they are doing the numbers, this will now go down as a Christian acid (alkaline?) attack.
    The lefties will use that to say these attacks are being carried out by other faiths or peoples and not just the usual perpetrators.
    Now they know that all you have to do is say you’re now a Christian and they can stay here we can expect lots more ‘Christians’ carrying out acid attacks as well as all the other behaviours they have enriched us with.
    Christian grooming gangs for example.

    The Guardian are promoting Scott Trust funded university Burseries for a number of aspiring journalists in their Jobs section..

    They describe their view of journalism as…

    “A fundamental underpinning of a fair and open democratic society where people can participate, influence and act.”

    Just not if you are white apparently because if so you will experience exactly the opposite of this if you try to apply.

    They say – “The Scott Trust Bursary scheme is only open to individuals from Black, Asian, minority ethnic, LGBTQ+, disabled, or lower socio-economic backgrounds….

    The purpose of the Scott Trust Bursary scheme is to support the groups listed above because they are under-represented in journalism and face barriers to entering into the industry.”

    Following this logic, the burseries would be open for instance to pick-pockets, drug-dealers, shop-lifters, ex-convicts etc. etc. surely?

    A fair and open democratic society?
