Weekend 24th February 2024

    “Be it so. This burning of widows is your custom; prepare the funeral pile. But my nation has also a custom. When men burn women alive we hang them, and confiscate all their property. My carpenters shall therefore erect gibbets on which to hang all concerned when the widow is consumed. Let us all act according to national customs.[To Hindu priests complaining to him about the prohibition of Sati religious funeral practice of burning widows alive on her husband’s funeral pyre.]”

    I want to post this to enlighten the readers of these columns of the people pulling the strings, of how they prepare for over a week for a gotcha interview with politicians.
    I have to say never have I felt so unsettled by someone in an interview, I am convinced this man is a Demon, but see what you think of him – he does after all work for the BBC

      Bit rich for someone like this creature yearning for the long form interview – when the likes of him create Maitliss and Robinson and Marr whose prime purpose is to sneer at the unapproved and give ‘friends ‘ an easy time …

      … I’m sure he consistently managed the decline in viewer numbers of the programmes he was involved in …. I got to 20 minutes before the off switch came …..

      I got the feeling this was 2 lefty mates wasting air …and for him to refer to Brian Walden insults himself for what politics of TV was and the crappy approved only kidult crap it is now ….

          It kind of chimes with the advert on the bbc with comrade Simpson telling us with a straight face that the bbc tells the truth and is unbiased …. Which is self defeating – because it is a lie ….
          I went back to the interview and carried on from 20 minutes . Since these 2 are ‘pals’ the episode where Johnson refused the Andy Neil interview in the last election was glossed over – in that the hostility of the bbc to Johnson was an obvious reason for ‘ducking ‘ the bbc …..
          The creature reeks of self entitled undemocratic swamp power . I guess he now works for some labour outfit and preparing to end any remaining democracy in Britain when the landslide comes …..

          I’m constantly surprised – still – that these people see the world they do …. and the revelation that this character has Parkinson’s speaks a lot ….. on top of his arrogance ….. and lies …

          There is a dirty bomb in New York. It is being moved around to prevent detection. It is actively shielded to prevent authorities being able to use the usual methods to detect where it is… The Orthodox Jews have moved their kids out of the city early to a Summer camp North of New York.

              Maxincony has saved up some what appears anti Semitic comments from one poster and hopes he will be defended by others here . Thus he will portray the whole of this site as Nazi .

              And then by extension claim anyone against the BBC is a neo Nazi .

                  I watched him post them taff – first all the posts then he went down the list and clicked like for each.

                  Typical troll : tries to swamp a feed to rubbish the whole thing and they are all in response to posts elsewhere which we can’t see to get any context at all. Typical bottom-feeder trick.

                  The fact a far-left troll is trying to imply it’s us here who are the anti-semetic nazis is so ridiculous, it’s funny and if my estimation of maxi’s personal ethics and scruples was not already at the bottom of the gutter, I would lower it another notch.

                  Clearly by the usual time of posting he has been on the sauce or snorting something again and just needed to vent his spite.

                As has been said in the past, the truth is the truth and cannot anti or phobic or ist.

                For comment to be anti Semitic it has to be again ALL Jews, not just pointing out that one or two or a group are up to something bad.

                People will frequently have a go at the Masons, does that make them anti White?

                Again others will have a go at the Black Panthers or BLM, does that in itself make them anti Black?

                No of course it doesn’t, but Maxi appears to be suggesting that it does. These comments as often is the case with the Left so old I can’t even recall them, and they are of course taken as short snippets out of context.

                It’s a pretty normal dirty trick of the Left, but I take responsibility and stand by all of them, especially the ones about the corrupt Jews in the Democrat party and Merrick Garland. The proof is there to support all of this.

                Nibor, I think maxincony is an anti-Semite. I think back to his postings on the Pogroms in Ukraine and his using his chosen commentator to say what I had posted was wrong. Still no apology from him. As you say typical Gramscian.

                Of course some of the worst persecution of Jews took place in Communist Russia and that is why not long after the USSR was dismantled and people there were free to travel that large numbers made aliyah from Russia and its previous Soviet states to Israel.

            Can I make a formal complaint about this maxincony guy?

            I never posted the above caricature of a Jew. I don’t post pictures. I am pro-Jewish and a strong supporter of the state of Israel as any regular reader of my posts on this site will know. Maxincony is absolutely wrong in attributing that antisemitic picture to me.

            As for the quote, I may have said it but I would not have been referring to Jews and I would not have been using it as a derogatory term. I regard the human species as made up of three races or subspecies – whites, blacks, and orientals. When I use the term “subspecies”, it is simply descriptive.

            I don’t know if maxincony is confusing “subspecies” with “subhuman”. That of course is the term the Nazis used to describe Jews.

              Way to go maxi : you’re one class piece of work.

              The irony which is totally lost on this scumbag is that it’s the Left who have exposed their hatred of Jews over Gaza, including the BBC. It’s those on the Right who are defending them.

                Who is the bad man ?
                If someone posted an image so inflammatory on Friday night that Fed had to delete it , they are the bad man
                (unless they made a Friday night mistake and didn’t understand the image)
                If Maxi takes a quick screenshot that’s his right
                If people put anti-Jewish conspiracies .. then it is right that it’s done in the open so people can challenge them.
                If Maxi inflames by waving around posts, but omits the context that the post was removed, then that is deception by omission
                and he/her is the bad man.

                Fair discussion is OK
                but if someone turns up throw volleys of mud
                yet never answers questions
                Then that is not good faith debate.
                Yet is does show us that those who support the BBC are not good faith actors.

              The pattern of posting tends to suggest the trol is either drunk or drugged when it posts . I am impressed by the amount of ‘research ‘ it does – whether it is one person or another is difficult to determine. Likewise with its’ employment by the BBC – to which I don’t think I have ever seen reference…

              Personally I’d take the troll off the site – but as moderator I feel I need to tread more lightly – such as leaving some of its’ comments on the site to function as a reminder ….

    The TBI was accused of pursuing a neoliberal agenda and serving as an ideological vehicle for Tony Blair. Tony Blair’s possible pursuit of personal interests, the possible influence of private donors and the cooperation with authoritarian governments such as Rwanda and Saudi Arabia were also criticized.[19] The left wing of the British Labour Party complained about the TBI’s close contacts to party leader Keir Starmer and Tony Blair’s large influence on him. The Guardian described Blair as more powerful in 2023 than during his time as prime minister.[20]

    With more than 800 staff in 40 countries, the former PM is arguably more powerful than he was in No 10

    “This is an organisation bankrolled by billionaires, which continues to advise and take money from the murderous Saudi government. What’s worse, its solutions reflect these corporate interests, with Tony Blair laughably claiming that Britain’s economic crisis is a result of too much tax and spend.”

        Some interesting points to hear Keir Starmer talk of borders …

        “(borders) this is something I’ve (Keir Starmer) been talking a
        lot about over the last few days very
        often people say progressive shouldn’t
        talk about border security that we
        should say nothing on the issue not
        trespass into that area I disagree I

    Lee Anderson is getting it in the neck for having the temerity to suggest that Islamists are taking over and SadDick Khan is in thrall to them. Readers sympathetic to this should ask so what? Where now?

    What guts me about this is the tactical ineptitude. By over blowing the case without substantiation, he just plays into the hands of the Far Left and more crucially the liberal softies, and the usual suspect activists can easily launch the usual torrent of self-righteous indignation. The BBC will of course side with the latter. Anderson can do so much better with so little extra thought.

    For in the news today we’ve also had Shamima Begun, alkali thrower Abdul Azedi, and the knife murder of three children, the youngest was called Mohammed. The other day we heard that the overseer of the Prevent strategy has asserted that the whole thing underplays radical Islam as a threat and overplays the right wing threat, which apparently MI5 is not doing ( surprisingly hard to find via google but not so the leftie response). So a cheer unusually for the Guardian.

    https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/feb/22/public-left-at-risk-uk-counter-terrorism-strategy-william-shawcross-prevent-review-author

    If Anderson could just then wait for the Rochdale bi-election, certain to be won on religion-of- peace racist/ religious lines, and then for example reference Tower Hamlets, whose council is run by the pro-Bangla Deshi Aspire party, he could make claims backed by hard examples which have the benefit of being provable and true.. Surely that would have more impact for ordinary people and undecideds and be far harder for the intelligentsia and pro- immigration lefties and the BBC to dismiss out of hand.

    The left may be wrong but they are tactically superior. Time to wise up and play them at their own game.

      Worse than Lee Anderson Nigel Farage has come out and said he would like to be Starmer’s Ambassador to the USA!

      The Reform Party is facing a by-election in Rochdale in less than a week. Somebody should remind him that he is still honorary president of the Reform Party and as such should not be undermining the hard work the candidate and the party members have been putting into it. Farage should shut his self-promoting gob until the by-election is over.
      Farage said he may join the Tories, now he is willing to work for Starmer and by that he is suggesting that the election is a foregone conclusion. You never, ever do that while your volunteer workers are out in the streets campaigning. It’s a kick in the guts.

      Reform would do well to ease this swollen headed has-been from his position before he eventually turns on them like he did with Ukip.
      Perhaps the powers that be in reform are aware of his potential departure? I notice that Ben Habib said last week that Reform was bigger than any one person and the party was here to stay. This was good to hear. It suggests that Habib, a good politician, will not let the party be used as a short term campaign vehicle and that it will allow other capable members to shine and not become a one man band.

      Best of luck to Reform in Rochdale this coming Thursday.

    Alabama IVF ruling a political gift for Democrats, headache for Republicans
    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68377136

    The BBC have wet their panties over this story and it seems it is pro-Democrat so it’s being shouted from the rooftops.

    But actually I don’t care about the story : the BBC is worthless as a news source in my eyes now. I just check these to look at their wording. And look what I found:

    ‘The all-Republican justices decided that …’

    ‘Mr Biden said in a post on X, formerly Twitter, that the Alabama decision was only possible because of the 2022 ruling by the US Supreme Court – which has three Trump appointees – to nullify abortion rights.’

    Amazing how selective the shameless BBC activists are about telling us when something is politicially biased.

    Bloody unbelievable what this shower of absolute sh@t would like us to think poses a threat in this country.

    This is a country that has seem MUSLIMS bombing us, knifing us and gang raping our children for years over and over, with many many British dead and mutilated and childrens lives ruined.

    and what do OFCOM talk about ???

    a far right attack in New Zealand as an prime example of online hate.

    This is a country that has seen an outpouring of hate by MUSLIMS against Jews since the Gaza attacks upon Israel, with many jews attacked and in fear of leaving their homes.

    and what do OFCOM talk about ?

    “anti-Muslim and antisemitic hatred”

    NO OFCOM: it is just antisemitic hatred that is the problem.

    It is paraded in our steets and outside Parliament and on the streets of London every bloody week. openly displayed, by MUSLIMS.

    Jews are attacked every week, by MUSLIMS.

    Two years into Russia’s invasion, exhausted Ukrainians refuse to give up
    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-68384341

    Ukrain will give up precisely when the USA tell them to. We’ve already seen the sabotage of attempts to stop the war and we’ve also seen that Ukraine cannot last a few weeks without a constant supply of American weapons.

    The pro-Ukraine/anti-Russian propaganda is coming thick and fast at the moment from the BBC. I presume it’s to try and cover up the significance of the Adiivka defeat. It proves beyond doubt that even with all the equipment the West can give them, Ukraine are going to lose. All we are doing is making sure a lot more young men die in the process. Which is precisely what the USA want. Russia must be bled to make it weak. The deaths of the Ukrainians are just collateral damage.

    Of course absolutely none of this is included in the BBC report.

    Instead we get lines like:
    ‘The idea of a compromise or concession to Russia is viewed as a defeat. It’s existential.’
    What absolute nonsense. Putin views stopping NATO occupying Ukraine as an existential threat to Russia. If the war stopped today, Ukraine would remain exactly as it is now.

    And of course – as in every BBC propaganda article – it quickly degenerates into pure empathy with lines like this:

    ‘In a symptom of the world Ukrainians live in, I now associate playgrounds with death. The last time I saw children play in one was at a school next to my flat in Kyiv, before the invasion.’

    I found the BBC author doing some interview with somebody and I’ve noticed many of these reporters are a bit odd in the same way that in retrospect, a lot of teachers I remember were a bit odd. They often pull strange faces while they are talking and their eyes are all over the place. I never realised until I paid attention – but it’s a characteristic of many of the more extreme Lefties. They are just not quite normal and can’t really cope with the real world so they retreat into their own ideolgical version.

          When they say ‘record rise in temperature’, they mean since they have been counting. We are rather on the cool side at the moment with ‘record low’ amounts of CO2.

          This will be known as the ‘grabbing period’ where vast amounts of money will be paid out to make very little difference until finally the game is up and the funding stops.

      There won’t be a lot more Ukrainian men dying because there aren’t any left!

      My fear is that the corrupt Jews of the Demonrat party who are behind all this will never allow the money flow back into their pockets to cease until they are removed from power.

      The other fear is that they will never allow this war to end, and if Russia decides to halt at the Dnipro river then Kyiv will continue lobbing missiles and drones at them until it becomes intolerable and Russia is forced to take the entire country.

        Russia just got 25,000 men freed up from Adiivka and are now pushing along the entire 600 mile front. Meanwhile that BBC report says:
        ‘But with minimal Ukrainian progress and growing Russian dominance’ – which is saying there is some progress but not much. Another BBC ‘without giving any evidence’ report.

        The bottom line for this is that Russia will not let the war stop because then Ukraine will go straight into the arms of NATO. They will take as much as they can (to the Dnipro river has been my bet from the start) then they will dig in and just keep grinding Ukraine down until a formal agreement for them not to join NATO is reached.

        What is more dangerous and quite possible is that the Ukranian army just collapses and Russia start to make big gains. That’s how the cretin in the Whitehouse could start WW3 : we’ve seen what he can do when he puts his mind to it in Afghanistan.

      How is Ukraine going to lose? Putin has thrown everything he has at it, and he has not been able to advance beyond the land he took in 2020.

      That is not to say Ukraine will “win”, in the sense of expelling Russia from Ukrainian land. That might not be possible. But equally I cannot see Russia making any further major advances. This is not the Russian army which defeated the Germans, not even close.

      Year Zero (Khmer: ឆ្នាំសូន្យ, Chhnăm Sony [cʰnam soːn]) is an idea put into practice by Pol Pot in Democratic Kampuchea that all culture and traditions within a society must be completely destroyed or discarded and that a new revolutionary culture must replace it starting from scratch. In this sense, all of the history of a nation or a people before Year Zero would be largely deemed irrelevant, because it would ideally be purged and replaced from the ground up.

      The new rulers of Cambodia call 1975 “Year Zero”, the dawn of an age in which there will be no families, no sentiment, no expressions of love or grief, no medicines, no hospitals, no schools, no books, no learning, no holidays, no music, no song, no post, no money – only work and death.

      John Pilger, Year Zero: The Silent Death of Cambodia (1979)[1]

      The first day of “Year Zero” was declared by the Khmer Rouge on 17 April 1975 upon their takeover of Cambodia in order to signify a rebirth of Cambodian history.[2][better source needed] Adopting the term as an analogy to the “Year One” of the French Revolutionary Calendar,[3][better source needed] Year Zero was effectually an attempt by the Khmer Rouge to erase history and reset Cambodian society, removing any vestiges of the past.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_Zero_(political_notion)

      The Cambodian genocide[a] was the systematic persecution and killing of Cambodian citizens[b] by the Khmer Rouge under the leadership of Prime Minister of Democratic Kampuchea Pol Pot. It resulted in the deaths of 1.5 to 2 million people from 1975 to 1979, nearly a quarter of Cambodia’s population in 1975 (c. 7.8 million).[1][3][4][5]

        Kermit Barron Gosnell (born February 9, 1941) is an American former physician,[3] abortionist, and serial killer. He provided illegal late-term abortions at his clinic in West Philadelphia. Gosnell was convicted of the murders of three infants who were born alive after using drugs to induce labor, the manslaughter of one woman during an abortion procedure, and of several other abortion- and drug-related crimes.[4][5][6][7][8] Staff at Gosnell’s clinic testified that there were hundreds of infants born alive during abortion procedures, and subsequently killed by Gosnell.[9][10][11][12]

        It was also claimed that he charged $1,600–$3,000 for each late-term abortion, and had made $10,000-$15,000 per day from the clinic.[38][39]

    As usual the old boy’s a bit late with this, so apologies…

    A few weeks ago, the former actor and now political campaigner, Laurence Fox, went to the high court where he was in a spot of bother for calling three people “Paedophiles” We all know what led to this and the outcome, so I won’t go over it again…anyway…

    A couple of them were “drag queens”…one of whom is extremely litigious…and because I don’t have two million quid or a billionaire backer…I must make it clear he is certainly NOT A PAEDOPHILE! Honestly, the thought never crossed my mind…

    Anyway, one of these creatures is on You Tube and I saw part of his act in front of a bunch of primary age kids. Honest to God, it knocked me sideways.

    When I was their age my mum might have taken me to see Punch and Judy or to a Christmas panto, where we would roar with laughter at Widow Twankey and the Ugly Sisters. This geezer, who is certainly NOT A PAEDOPHILE was nothing like those…

    He was much more like something from The Rocky Horror Show, decked out in stilettoes and leather and gyrating and twerking, before finishing his act by simulating masturbating a black plastic dildo in front of the kids. Oh, how sweet…what treasured memories they’ll have…

    It wasn’t so much that I found this repulsive creature who is definitely NOT A PAEDOPHILE so utterly repellant, it was their parents that really shocked me, particularly their “mothers”. They loved it.

    The kids looked bemused, a bit frightened and confused, but the right-on mums were squealing their delight and whooping competitively between themselves as they vied to show who was the most enlightened and progressive. It was the sort of idiotic squealing you hear during Radio 4 comedies. They absolutely sickened me.

    I can just imagine my old mum, all those years ago, taking my brother and I to see some performer, who is absolutely NOT A PAEDOPHILE, masturbating a plastic penis in the faces of eight year olds. She wouldn’t have whooped or squealed…but the drag queen would when she stormed up to him and kicked him a hard one in the knackers.

    I’m guessing those same women who so enjoyed the drag act would condemn Benny Hill as sexist and the Ugly Sisters as misogynistic stereotypes…but give me them any day…

    By the way, just in case I haven’t made this absolutely clear; this drag queen is definitely, absolutely and certainly NOT A PAEDOPHILE! Phew…

    And those pathetic, squealing and whooping women certainly aren’t mothers…

      “If you tell Google that you would like to see images of ‘Black men’ the images that come up are all portrait photos of black men. Indeed, it takes more than a dozen rows of images before anybody who isn’t black comes up in the images. By contrast a search for ‘White men’ first throws up an image of David Beckham – who is white – but then the second is of a black model. From there every line of five images has either one or two black men in the line-up. Many of the images of white men are of people convicted of crimes with taglines such as ‘Beware of the average white man’ and ‘White men are bad’.

    It’s remarkable how sensitive the detection of ‘far right’ ideology has become that it is now anonymous ‘likes’ and retweets that triggers the monitors’ panic about a fourth Reich, whereas the fact of the offending news broadcaster’s PAINFUL inclusion of cross-spectrum perspectives counts for nought. It’s a desperate smear machine, and shame on you for indulging it.

    Recall that once the entire msm went mental… well more…. because a division of outrage researchers has uncovered that a building a meeting was to be held in by a non approved party was once designated by the Wehrmacht as an HQ as the invasion of Britain, which failed to transpire, unfolded.

    Proof of guilt by association is a BBC favourite, the more obscure the better, as is being selective on who targeted.

    Unsure how speaking the truth is racist and Islamophobic given that the police clearly hold back and fail utterly in their duty….but why is that?

    Is that at the explicit direction of Khan or merely that they understand that, given the Mayor’s ‘Muslimness’, the police won’t act in anyway that would offend him and his friends?

    This is Khan who called Muslims who helped the police tackle terrorism ‘Uncle Toms’ and the Khan who allegedly said that we should dump Armistice Day and instead fully support the Islamist marches in London…he of course denies saying this and the compliant media report he never said it…how do they know?…because he denied it…thus it’s not true though I might think it is something he would say and certainly think.

    Are the police running scared of Khan and Muslims as they did in Rochdale and Rotherham? The Labour Party certainly is as Hoyle admitted.

    They are furious because Anderson is right.

    ‘Revealed: The Shocking Tweets of GB News Co-owner Sir Paul Marshall’

    That grubby little outfit, Hate not Hope, is attacking one of the owners of GB News claiming he is liking and retweeting racist and Islamophobic comments…but that of course is entirely subjective…it is purely Hate not Hope’s own somewhat loaded and bigoted interpretation of those comments rather than an objective examination of them….they may well be 100% correct…we may well be heading for a civil war based upon race or religion….er….isn’t that actually already in progress since 7/7 and the death of George Floyd[suicide by drugs some might say] as British, white, culture, history and society is gradually being erased, or as the racists put it…’decolonised’….ethnically cleansed as others might put it.

    ‘“If we want European civilization to survive we need to not just close the borders but start mass expulsions immediately. We don’t stand a chance unless we start that process very soon.”’

    And aren’t such comments redolent of what the Lefties were saying many year ago?….Bertrand Russell for example as he suggested Socialism must defend itself from the incursion of so many from the ‘prolific races’…..

    ‘The white population of the world will soon cease to increase. The Asiatic races will be longer, and the negroes still longer, before their birth rate falls sufficiently to make their numbers stable without help of war and pestilence…. Until that happens, the benefits aimed at by socialism can only be partially realized, and the less prolific races will have to defend themselves against the more prolific by methods which are disgusting even if they are necessary. ‘ The Prospects of Individual Civilization, 1923

    So the socialists are Nazis too! Well erm, yeah…..the National Socialist Party….Nazis. Hitler and Mussolini were Fascists.

      The immigrants make their way north, having no desire to assimilate to French culture, but continuing to demand a First World standard of living, even as they flout laws, do not produce, and murder French citizens, such as factory bosses and shopkeepers, as well as the ordinary people who do not welcome them. They are also joined by the immigrants who already reside in Europe, as well as various left-wing and anarchist groups. Across the West, more and more migrants arrive and have children, rapidly growing to outnumber whites. In a matter of months, the white West has been overrun and pro-immigrant governments have been established, while the white people are ordered to share their houses and flats with the immigrants.

    ‘The Rise of Black Hitler and World War II

    Adolf Hitler, a black man born in Austria in 1889, faced discrimination and prejudice throughout his life due to his race. Growing up in a Europe where racism was rampant, he experienced firsthand the effects of colonialism and imperialism on black communities. His experiences shaped his worldview, leading him to harbor a deep-seated resentment towards the societal structures that oppressed people of color.

    As Hitler rose to power in Germany, he tapped into the frustrations of marginalized communities, promising to dismantle the systems of oppression that held them back. His fiery speeches and charismatic leadership style rallied disenfranchised black Germans and other minorities to his cause, forging a coalition of the oppressed.’

    I would provide a picture of Hitler as a black man but…..

    ‘I understand you’re interested in a picture of Hitler as a black man. However, I’m unable to generate images of real people, especially those associated with harmful ideologies like Nazism.

    Hitler’s actions and beliefs were deeply racist and harmful, and representing him in any way can contribute to the normalization or trivialization of his ideology. Additionally, altering his race to be Black is insensitive and disrespectful to the Black community, as it suggests that Blackness is inherently evil or associated with negative traits.’

    Nor Boris Johnson…..

    ‘Boris Johnson has made comments and implemented policies that have been criticized as insensitive or harmful towards Black communities. Creating an image of him as a Black man could be interpreted as trivializing or erasing these criticisms.
    Potential for harm: Such an image could be used to spread harmful stereotypes or misinformation about Black people. It’s important to be aware of the potential impact of our actions, especially when they involve sensitive topics like race and ethnicity.’

    GB News is slowly sliding into the mainstream as it so often now tries to qualify everything and suggest facts don’t really exist, everything is ‘relative’ just as the BBC like it…..here claiming Khan has no control over policing in London despite actually controlling policing priorities….

    Here are Khan’s responsibilities in regard to the police…as laid out by his own Office….

    ‘One of the Mayor’s key responsibilities is overseeing the work of the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) – setting the priorities for policing and community safety in London, agreeing the policing budget and holding the Met Commissioner to account for delivering a professional, efficient and effective service to Londoners….The Plan also sets out the policing of London that the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis will provide, how the Commissioner is to report to MOPAC on the provision of policing, and how MOPAC and the MPS will support the national strategic policing requirement..’

    Politicians can’t take over the policing? Khan sacked Cressida Dick….any Police chief in London will always be looking over his shoulder for approval from Khan….

    ‘An official inquiry will find that the mayor of London wrongly ousted Cressida Dick as commissioner of the Metropolitan police, the Guardian has learned.
    A draft of the government-ordered report finds that Sadiq Khan did not follow due process and that Dick was unfairly treated, branding the mayor’s actions and decision-making as “irrational” and “unreasonable”.

    The report also says the mayor’s treatment of Dick was “oppressive”, and that she was placed under unfair pressure.’

    I wonder how long it will be before the neoliberal establishment, worried about the reaction of ordinary Brits to the Speakers cowardice/ prudence re the threat of Islamic terror, alight upon the idea of staging a bit of far right terror ,false flag of course, to balance stuff out and distract?
    I know that some think that Joe Cox’s murder might have been such a false flag operation . I don’t know the truth about that.

    Two questions that I have for the government are, A. if you are scared to death about your safety , what about the ordinary people who have no protection at all and B. why on earth are you still importing so many of the very people who you are scared off?
    When in a hole stop digging?
    Of course the answer to the second question is that the governing class are too frightened of the Islamic backlash to even consider stopping Muslim immigration .

    The Neo Liberal Establishment Exerts it’s Power

    So Lee Anderson has had the whip withdrawn for his comments about the mayor of London being controlled by Islamists. He may well have it restored if he issues a fulsome apology and in doing so denies the truth that he has spoken..
    The current situation is reminiscent of Enoch Powell being thrown out of the Tory party after his Rivers of Blood speech and we can all see how right he was about that. If only we had followed his wise advice over 50 years ago.
    The evidence that we are being taken over by Islam and are too frightened to fight back is now overwhelming . Only complete idiots or liars can deny it.
    I note that in the Telegraph they have featured a lot of articles in the past few month saying that we have a severe problem with Islamists . This was something which they were much less vocal about until recently, so there has been a change in editorial policy for some reason and they edging closer to the truth.The likely purchase of the DT by Arabs may have something to do with this telling the semi truth. However , they are very careful to paint Islamists as the villains of the piece not Muslims in general. Hopefully they will get to the full truth in due course !
    I noted on GB News that when Lee Anderson was saying this the GBN political correspondent Christopher Hope , was pulling faces , anxious to be seen by his liberal bien pensant friends as dissociating himself from Anderson’s remarks. Farage once took Hope to meet real people in a pub and Hope seemed scared to death by them. It might have been the first time this Westminster bubble dweller has ever met real voters outside of his dinner party circuit friends.

    News from the Islamic Broadcasting Corporation.

    Anti-Muslim cases surge in UK since Hamas attacks, charity finds

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-68374372

    In the first two paragraphs the BBC report that some pro-Muslim charidee called Tell Mama claims 2100 Islamophobia incidents since 7 October (btw the day 1300 Israelis were butchered by Hamas).
    Only near the bottom of the article do we discover there were 4000 antisemitic incidents in 2023, of which 2/3 rds were after October 7th. Note that the BBC therefore expect us to do our own arithmetic to work out that there were around 2600 antisemitic incidents over the same period there were 2100 anti Islamic incidents.

    But now let’s do what the BBC don’t. Consult the 2021 census.
    6.5% of the population identify as Muslim, and 0.5% Jewish.

    So antisemitic incidents per head are 2600/2100 x 6.5/0.5 equals SIXTEEN TIMES more than anti Muslim incidents.

    Yet the BBC only headline the anti-Muslim ones.

    Readers will draw their own conclusions. Not for nothing do we call them the Islamic ( or Hamas) Broadcasting Corporation.

    Disgusting anti-Semitic bias.
