    Some apposite statemants in the midst of thick as shit students and other racist protesters:

    Golda Meir:

    We Jews have a secret weapon in our struggle with the Arabs; we have no place to go.

    The Egyptians could run to Egypt, the Syrians into Syria. The only place we could run was into the sea, and before we did that we might as well fight.

    We don’t thrive on military acts. We do them because we have to, and thank God we are efficient.

    We have always said that in our war with the Arabs we had a secret weapon – no alternative.

    We do not rejoice in victories. We rejoice when a new kind of cotton is grown and when strawberries bloom in Israel.

    I recall right off the bat during the war Ukraine were promoting the DIIA — a “state in a smartphone” (their words) — with lots of backing from USAID, Google, Visa etc. It seemed odd to me that a country only recently on a war footing were excitedly promoting new tech with all of its endless convenience to the world. By coincidence their Minister of Digital Transformation has just been in Davos agreeing to set up a new 4th Industrial Revolution base in Ukraine.

    Now Reuters report on the Ukraine bill in parliament which contains online call-ups and the freezing of assets of any wannabe draft dodgers:

    ———
    “The bill would allow courts to freeze assets and impose restrictions on going abroad or driving a vehicle for people who fail to abide by the mobilization rules and do not report to registration centres. Citizens of military age would be obliged to carry military registration documents with them and police would have the right to check them at any time.” Ukraine MoD: “This is a list of complex but extremely necessary solutions that are designed to make our state stronger in the face of the challenges of a long-term war”.
    ———

    Meanwhile European countries all seemingly in lockstep are being nudged to prepare for potential future war while pursuing CBDCs and ‘health passports’.

    Ireland —

    “This is truly disturbing. A couple of years ago, during Ramadan 2022, two gay Irish men were brutally murdered in Sligo by Muslim man, Yousef Palani. A third had his eye cut out.

    The trial revealed Palani exclusively targeted Irish men. Since then, Gardaí have attended Palani’s mosque and tried to recruit people like him into An Garda Síochána.”

    This from BBC on Yootoob……

    ‘Climate Change; World’s first year-long breach of key 1.5c warming limit |BBC News’

    Displayed with a dramatic image of a fire-fighter. Giving the wrong impression that climate change is causing fire-disaters. Or perhaps we can extinguish global-warming with a fire hose?

    This isn’t in the public interest at all. It’s just a scare-story. BBC so obviously have sponsors. I’m sure it wouldn’t take much work for a team of auditors and lawyers to make the case that BBC are in breach of their “public” funding entitlement.

        RP, I would be very happy if average temperatures in the northern hemisphere climbed by 1.5°C per month. Heading into mid-February we are in double digit territory already – if we can have Greta’s increase backdated for the start of February – then we will be only at 20°C by the end of July. Bit of a cool summer for June & July. 23°C for August Bank Holiday Monday would be very acceptable as long as it is dry/stops raining soon. Should get an Indian Summer in October. 🙂

        The year of 2020 when we had a warm Easter but could not enjoy it, is a firm but increasingly distant memory

        Stew, Justin Rowlatt did hyperventilate that fact of an El Nino year last year in the Pacific Ocean this morning. He did have me speculating how long he would last if washed overboard in his so-called warmed oceans. I reckon in the Pacific now, despite El Nino, with a lifejacket on Justin would last about an hour before hypothermia claimed him and he was DoA in Fortaleza Hospital or whereever he, Rowlatt, washed up.

      Andy,

      Yes, I’ve noticed the increase over the recent years. If YouTube, I simply sacrifice watching the video I want and ‘back button’ – ‘out’. My loss and their loss but my feelings of discomfort trump watching the particular video / adverts with disproportionate black/white. When that procedure shortly means that I cannot watch uninterrupted YT, I’ll no longer look at YT. Done it with the BBC, so to do it with YT is no hardship.

      Adverts from corrupt charities, all trying to persuade people to leave their home in their will, to a Charity, after they suddenly die from heart failure or turbo cancer, due to being jabbed with a bioweapon. From the RNLI to the United Nations. Thousands drowning off the coast of France, Mistreated donkeys by foreigners, Eye operations for black kids, plastic surgery to correct the deformed mouths of African children and white men digging wells for lazy Africans.

      The money goes to rich white liberal charity chief executives not black Africans.

      I think Lenny Henry is the only known black person to have dug a ‘Well for Africa’.

      NHS ! GET IT FREE! About fentanyl
      Fentanyl is a strong opioid painkiller. It’s used to treat severe pain, for example during or after an operation or a serious injury, or pain from cancer.

      It’s also used for other types of long-term pain when weaker painkillers have stopped working.

      It works by blocking pain signals between the brain and the rest of the body. It also reduces the anxiety and stress caused by pain.

    As soon as I heard of Brianna Ghey’s murder, I knew it would become an excuse to shut down any discussion of trans-scepticism.
    Henceforth, anyone daring to question the trans mental derangement fad would be accused of murdering poor Brianna, as Rishi is finding out to his cost.
    So now we have the new crime of ‘transphobia’, and yet another protected class of untouchables and uncriticisables – along with muslims, gays, blacks etc.
    Of course the opposite argument could be made: that it is the ‘progressives’ and the wokies who, by promoting this latest mental derangement among impressionable youngsters, have created a whole generation of confused adolescents like Brianna, and are therefore responsible for her murder.

        Perhaps when he had finished prostrating himself about the events of 1919 mr Welby could have visited the the multiple sites of massacres 20 odd years before where various factions of Indian mutineers carried out obscene attacks on British Troops and their families including children. Maybe this is why the British troops were a bit trigger happy?

        typically… this extract from Wiki regarding just one of the atrocities carried out….

        “1857

        …Finally, on 15 July, an order was given to murder the women and children imprisoned at Bibighar. The details of the incident, such as who ordered the massacre, are not clear.[16][18]

        The rebel sepoys executed the four surviving male hostages from Fatehghar, one of them a 14-year-old boy. But they refused to obey the order to kill women and the other children.[4] Some of the sepoys agreed to remove the women and children from the courtyard when Tatya Tope threatened to execute them for dereliction of duty. Nana Sahib left the building because he didn’t want to be a witness to the unfolding massacre.

        The British women and children were ordered to come out of the assembly rooms but they refused to do so and clung to one another. They barricaded themselves in, tying the door handles with clothing. At first around twenty rebel soldiers opened fire from the outside of the Bibighar, firing through holes in the boarded windows. The soldiers of the squad that was supposed to fire the next round were disturbed by the scene and discharged their shots into the air. Soon after, upon hearing the screams and groans inside, the rebel soldiers threw down their weapons and declared that they were not going to kill any more women and children.

        An angry Begum Hussaini Khanum denounced the sepoys’ act as cowardice and asked her aide to finish the job of killing the captives.[4] Her lover hired butchers, who murdered the captives with cleavers, leaving when it seemed that all the captives had been killed. However a few women and children had managed to survive by hiding under the dead bodies. It was agreed that the bodies of the victims would be thrown down a dry well by some sweepers. The next morning the rebels arrived to dispose of the bodies and found three women who were still alive and also three children aged between four and seven years old .[2] The surviving women were cast into the well by the sweepers, who had also been told to strip the corpses. The sweepers then threw the three little boys into the well one at a time, the youngest first. Some victims, among them small children, were therefore buried alive in a heap of butchered corpses. None survived.[5]”

        Always two sides to any story unless you are British of course!

      And it looks like the bbc wants to spend £28 billion a year on green crap – maybe they can fund it using the licence fee . I’ve calculated that if every one with a licence pays an additional 1300 pounds a year that will do it

      …….and thinking about it -why not do away with income tax and transfer the tax burden to the TV licence – perhaps if it was £20 000 per licence a year that would fund welfare and the NHS … no military of course – or transport – and close all the schools when the weather might be iffy tomorrow …

    Surely people get away with all kind of death speak against Tories, and against Trump.

      So when is Jo Brand going to get done for supporting Terrorist Battery Acid Attacks?

      This is Minority Report stuff where they are making up the crime you never were going to commit.

      Were any of the religion of peace in the UK prosecuted for celebrating 9/11?

    The UN is not the International Criminal Court, but if you want a real criminal act the UK government carried out then the Post Office seizure of private assets without compensation takes some beating.

    As was recently claimed, the UK goverment is little short of a crime syndicate, takeing what ever it pleases without fear of punishment or the law.

    The BBC’s latest climate coverage makes XR look moderate
    By Ross Clark writing in in DT today.

    I heard it this morning on the BBC Today programme. There were no fewer than five separate items on it, by my count. First we had Justin Rowlatt telling us we are all going to go to hell in a handcart because global temperature last year averaged 1.5 Celsius above 19th century levels.
    ”’
    Then we had Prof Sir Bob Watson, former chair of the IPCC, telling us that the Earth’s weather “far exceeds anything that is unacceptable” – as if it were somehow something that is decided by world leaders. That comment says much about the mentality of people who populate these international global non-government organisations: they really do see themselves as gods.
    ”’
    Barry Gardiner, Labour’s former climate change spokesman, hauled on the show and invited by Nick Robinson to say that Starmer had got it utterly wrong, and allowed to spew out spurious guesstimates on how much climate change is costing the UK. “Storms are getting bigger,” he said, again directly contradicting the evidence –
    ”’
    I waited, too, for someone to argue that actually Biden’s green bungs aren’t the only story behind the US having faster economic growth than Britain.
    ”’
    Another somewhat crucial matter is that US administrations – Biden’s included – have unapologetically pursued a policy of energy security and self-sufficiency, built on huge expansion of shale oil and gas. Britain’s carbon emissions are less than one per cent of the global total.

    https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/02/08/the-bbcs-latest-climate-coverage-makes-xr-look-moderate/

    And yet for the BBC this is a betrayal. They believe in climate change that is the end-of-the-world – if we do NOT pay the TV license. The two are connected. No forced climate, no forced pay.

    The BBC are totally wrong extremists. Not that they will admit that. But the facts are clearly against the BBC global corps predictions. Which are funded by the usual suspects (usually US Billionaires).

    This is the reality (below)

    “As you look across Europe, politicians who reject climate alarmism and Net Zero scaremongering are on the rise. The days of green radicalism, and other luxury beliefs, are on the wane. The political landscape will look very different by the end of 2024.”

    “Net Zero was an attempt to defy the laws of physics and thermodynamics. It was irrational and bound to fail. Cannier politicians are starting to see its fatal flaws. The retreat has begun, and will continue inexorably for years to come. It’s now just a question of how long it takes, and how much damage will be done to society before sanity returns.” see pdf.

    A little Biblical Eschcatology is 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4

    “3Let no man deceive you by any means, to the effect that surely no revolt will first come and The Man of Sin, The Son of Destruction, be revealed, 4He who opposes and exalts himself against everything that is called God and religion, just as he will sit in the Temple of God, as God, and will show concerning himself as if he is God.”

    Well here is a web site which claims that a certain George Soros fulfills this prophecy as the man of lawlessness, see if you agree:

      He is a wrong’un for sure! He finances some of the hard Left practices from anti Brexit to anti family, he funds it all using charity aid, (Open Society) which is tax free. BBC pay no tax either.

      “Just take a look at Mr. Soros’ IRS 990s (of his $20 billion Open Society Foundation), and you can see the scale of the funding efforts to defeat everything from the free market system to the structure of the timeless nuclear family.

      Why destroy the family unit, you ask? Because Mr. Soros knows that the nuclear family has been the basis upon which every single stable civil society has been built since the beginning of time. It’s why Marxist ideology also sought the demise of families composed of a mom and a dad.”

      He is now currently funding Anti TRUMP supporters in the US….

      Biblical eschatology takes committed, serious study. I love to discus this because I have studied it for years.

      I don’t say this sarcastically or in jest-
      The Spirit of Lawlessness is definitely stirred up in the world . Soros is influenced by it, Tony Blair is influenced by it, as are many others in powerful positions. But Soros is not THE man of sin who is yet to come.

      Every book in the Biblical collection is part of the picture. All the prophetic writing from Moses to John and Paul are woven together in a tapestry.

      It’s fascinating. But I think everyone can see that lawlessness abounds without looking at a Bible.

      The many details included might astound some though if they regard the Biblical record as fiction or mere history. And it’s not a fortune-teller’s cache either it’s more complex.

    After our wind power generation mysteriously plunged from near 20GW yesterday to near 1GW it has now made a miraculous recovery back to near 20GW. Meanwhile the Dogger bank seems to be stuck at zero. So did Rishi mean to make the below comment in 2026?

    https://renewables-map.robinhawkes.com/#5/55.97/1.67

    UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said:

    “That’s why it’s fantastic to see the world’s largest wind farm, Dogger Bank, generating power for the first time today from UK waters, which will not only bolster our energy security, but create jobs, lower electricity bills and keep us on track for Net Zero.”10 Oct 2023

      The French make a killing out of us,selling electricity at peak prices. The import is flat out i see… French (9.37%) . Its been that way for years, even before wind vanes (currently 48%) but remember its done nothing much most of the day. And we have had quite a few windless days. Its not even a cold day (demand is just 32 GW, when it was 45GW a few weeks ago.) Then we had no wind. And that is the problem, when its really cold in the UK, we get no wind.

    What does Vladimir Putin gain from his Tucker Carlson interview?
    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-68244602

    Ahhh – here we go. The BBC doing their usual Leftist trick to try and destroy the messenger before we get to hear the message.

    Note the headline : it instantly restricts the article to be about what Putin will gain and deliberately excludes all of the other reasons this interview is so important. Most people are not interested in what Putin will gain, we are interested to learn the other side of the story which nobody will tell us. I have been stunned by the extent which the MSM have banded together to present the same narrative on Ukraine without any question or attempts to show balance. Exactly as they have for Gaza.

    This will give us the view from the other side of the fence which I am sure will be as biased as the BBC’s output but will allow us to better appreciate the real picture.

    You know when the BBC don’t like someone because we start seeing the phrase: ‘Mr Carlson has falsely claimed that …’ which is now reserved for the Right.

    The BBC are clearly getting desperate. Watch out for ‘BBC Verify’ getting involved to cherry-pick snippets from the interview in an attempt to smear the whole thing.

    ‘My memory is fine’ – Biden hits back at special counsel
    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68244352

    ‘He slammed a claim that he could not recollect when his son died, saying: “How the hell dare he raise that?”‘

    Joes nasty side coming straight to the surface. This BBC article tries to say one thing but inadvertantly tells us the opposite.

    ‘”Frankly, when I was asked the question I thought to myself, was none of their damn business,” he said.’

    Take a test then Joe. It seems this would be the perfect place for the BBC to remind us how Biden refuses to take any cognitive decline tests. And now would be the perfect time for him to rebuke this article by taking one.

    But both he and the shameless activists at the BBC will not go near that. Because they know full well what the result would say and that might let Trump get back in.

    Watching that video of Putin brought it home to me just what a stark contrast he is to Biden who cannot even string a coherent sentence together.

    This situation is EXACTLY what the free press was supposed to prevent. What do you do when the MSM is just as corrupt as the politicians ?.

      The problem the Obama regime now has is ‘how do we show that Biden ok ?’ – even an unscripted one to one interview is going to be a problem unless it is heavily edited … they have to avoid Biden doing anything live to camera .

      All the years as the incapacity has been on record – ignored by the swamp bbc – but now they are being forced to confront it .

      Whatever happens – the fix is in like last time .

    The BBC can’t avoid the huge report by a U.S. special prosecutor – but obviously wants to bury any criticism of the false president ….. but … is traditional … they get on a U.S. member of the swamp …… and further in bbc tradition -it’s a democrat friendly to Biden – in fact a former speech writer for Obama …..
    Is this sudden revelation of the Biden ‘memory problem – ie dementia – part of the scheme to replace him ? Is that the next phase ? A weekend of ‘speculation ‘ ? With certain names put forward ? Michelle Obama ? Some other usual idiot ?

    Meesh gave the democrat mouthpiece an easy time . No balance and no reference to BBCOFCOM for bias …..

    … but it takes the heat off starmer and his green crap spending – bbc editorial decided it is more important for red labour to be supported for licence fee purposes …. The green crap is not as important as that …

    Meesh really went for Rachel – going at her like a teenager who feels hard dun by – some say politicians are out of touch with the public which is fed up with green crap and overpaying for life – but the BBC is even more so ….
