    Happy St David’s Day .
    I’m shocked by the Rochdale result – shocked that blue labour got as many at 3000 votes …. Maybe the red labour voters – instructed not to vote for the labour candidate – transferred their votes to the blue variant .

    And however repulsive Galloway might be – for the short time he will be in their commons – he will add another Muslim voice to it …

    On the upside – too – we won’t be hearing ‘senior ‘ politicians spouting the ritual post election ritual words … 39.7% ‘turnout ‘ – number of postal votes from mo unknown ….

    @F2

    worth listening to the earlier video link from Farage posted by Vlad.

    up to 95% of batches of postal votes for Galloway, indicating a shocking abuse of the postal vote system (changed by Blair).

    I bet a certain sector’s women did not even see the voting slip, it used to be just for disabled or those abroad, now open to abuse by all.

    Blair has so much to answer for, so much more…that has made this country a crap hole

        The most important thing at this point is to break the Uniparty’s grip on power. If Galloway and friends can mortally wound the Uniparty’s ‘Labour’ wing and Reform (post Tice) can do the same to the Uniparty’s ‘Tory’ wing, then there is a glimmer of hope for change.

    Galloway wins in Richdale.

    On the whole this is good news I think. Slowly Muslims are coming out into the open not bothering to conceal or modify their foul beliefs and views . The lack of any pushback over their threats and intimidation following the Hamas atrocity has emboldened them , almost a case , I’m sure unintentionally on the part of our putrid establishment, of giving them enough rope to hang themselves.
    Obviously Labour will do anything to hold onto the Muslim vote and after the election they will enact all manner of laws favourable to Muslims. But in doing so they will drive away more and more non Muslims . They will inadvertently facilitate the great religious divide , Islam v everyone else , that is necessary if we are ever to get our country back.
    The opportunity will be there if we have a politician with the leadership quality of Wilders or Le Pen . The big question is , is there anyone with the courage to save us?

    Remember the far right are prone to authoritarianism we were told on here yesterday?

    well:

    “Tony Blair has been responsible for 54% more new laws per year in office than Margaret Thatcher, reveals research by Sweet & Maxwell, the information provider. According to figures from Sweet & Maxwell’s Westlaw UK and Lawtel online legal information services.

    It is estimated that an average of 2,663 new laws were added every year under Blair, compared to an average of just 1,724 under Thatcher”

    How I learned to stop worrying and love the Friday edition

    Most major newspaper titles join with the Guardian today in expressing the sentiment: Everard killer ‘should never have joined police’

    A trite observation our old friend Basil Fawlty would surely have described as “Stating the bleedin’ obvious!”

    And it’s for this sort of profound insight that we pay expensive gold-plated top brass lawyer-led ‘three-stage‘ inquiries: Sarah Everard’s killer Wayne Couzens should never have been police officer – Angiolini Inquiry (BBC)

    Wayne Cousins was a wrong ‘un, no doubt about it. But his victim in this instance was not some vulnerable tipsy suggestible teenager staggering about on her way home from a night out alone on the shady back streets in the early hours of the morning – this was a sensible inteligent professional young woman: Sarah’s parents insist: “She would never have got into a stranger’s car.” (London Evening Standard) – so how come…?

    Apropos the murder trial: The court heard how Couzens used the knowledge he had gained from working on Covid patrols in January and his Metropolitan Police-issue warrant card to trick his victim under the guise of a fake arrest for breaching coronavirus guidelines. (BBC) – Oh, dear. Mr AsI’s editorial blue pencil is required to work some overtime…

    The court heard how Couzens used the knowledge he had gained from working on Covid LOCKDOWN patrols in January and his Metropolitan Police-issue warrant card to trick his victim under the guise of a fake arrest for breaching coronavirus LOCKDOWN guidelines.

    The abduction was witnessed by a couple travelling past in a car – but they believed they had seen an undercover police officer carrying out a legitimate arrest, so did not intervene. (BBC)

    Our media can’t seem to agree whether or not they want to frighten the bejesus out of us plebs yet again this morning.

    This intended frightener is amusing due to the feature title the junior poundshop Guardian that is the ‘i’ uses: Diplomacy Putin threatens to destroy West in nuclear war – a tad more diplomacy on the part of Western leaders and we wouldn’t now be in – as Oliver Hardy might have put it: “Another fine mess they’ve gotten us into” – Oliver Hardy, there’s one for the teenagers

    French president Macron raised the prospect of Western troops in Ukraine. What was he thinking? (Independent); Biden administration is leaning toward supplying Ukraine with long-range missiles. If Republicans continue to block U.S. military aid to Ukraine, the White House could turn to an ally to provide Kyiv with ATACM missiles capable of striking Russian-held Crimea. (NBC News)

    On the scale of frighteners our media enjoys putting out there this next one comes just a rung or two lower than all out thermonuclear war: Can’t come to work boss, we’ve got climate anxiety (Daily Star)

    When it comes to our various multiple iterations of recent media fear projects, the Express is also apparently trying to rein it in a bit this morning: ‘Irresponsible’ to spread fear over processed foods – well, afterall, it is general election year and the Rishi lackey loyalist mouthpiece that is the Daily Express seems to have given up defending the Tory record. The very last arrow left in the quiver for Sunak is to hint that under Labour ‘things can only get worse’

    This can’t go on! 1.4m granted UK visas last year (Daily Express)

    Mind you, the Tories do have a cunning plan to cut the huge backlog of illegal migrants – grant them all a visa: UK asylum backlog falls with record approvals (BBC)

    To borrow and to nobble the subtitle from that classic 1964 movie Dr. Strangelove How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Immigration

    Or, depending on your political bent – as Karl Marx might have put it – Conservatives of Britain, unite! You have nothing to lose but your nation!

    ‘The whole ecosystem is collapsing’ (Guardian) – No, that’s not a Guardianista comment on climate change – or even Britain’s entire economic, political and cultural suprestructure – it is in fact the would-be trendy Guardian getting fretty about: Britain’s live music crisis

    All we can now look forward to are some isolated very minor token victories against the advance of the woke juggernaut: Steve Coogan and companies sued over Richard III film… by a university official who claims he was made to look “devious” and “weasel-like”… Richard Taylor’s barrister said the film made him appear “dismissive, patronising and misogynistic”… In written submissions, the barrister said: “The relevant context is the ‘good versus bad’ narrative, which runs through the film. “Ms Langley is portrayed as the gutsy underdog heroine struggling against opposition and the claimant as the arrogant villain. (BBC)

    Who needs Google’s Gemini AI diversity obsessed image creator to blacken our world when there’s our BBC merrily teamed up with Getty Images: Why some singles are more likely to cut things off after bad dates – accompanied of course by a pic of a couple holding hands across what appears to be a pub first date table – he’s got a pint of beer, she’s drinking something clear and garnished with a slice of lime – her white, him black, natch. First date drink spiking anyone…?

    Alcohol on the first date? I hope it’s a mineral water. Wouldn’t she be safer meeting him in a coffee shop?

    Inside Britain’s hidden drink-spiking epidemic (Times) – anyone?

    Drink spiking at house parties ‘big concern’ for police (BBC)

    Him black and her white? Surely the BBC team on this one have got that the wrong way around – didn’t they request Getty supply her brown: Daters are looking for “an instant spark”, relationship coach Fahima Mahomed says. By Noor Nanji Culture reporter, BBC

    I’m not sure about Noor Nanji but methinks Fahima Mahomed certainly shouldn’t be drinking anything alcoholic

    Speaking of imagery – Ukraine in maps: Tracking the war with Russia (By the Visual Journalism Team, BBC) – not tracking it all that closely of late, are we BBC? Last update 21 February – pinch punch, first day of the month!

    And if all that has given you a headache – I’m afraid Gorgeous George has just been returned to Parliament as MP for Gaza North West

      Gaddafi wants EU cash (£4bn) to stop African migrants {bbc.co.uk aug2010}

      “Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi says the EU should pay Libya at least 5bn euros (£4bn; $6.3bn) a year to stop illegal African immigration and avoid a ‘black Europe’.

      ‘We don’t know what will happen, what will be the reaction of the white and Christian Europeans faced with this influx of starving and ignorant Africans,’ Col Gaddafi said…

      He told them that Islam should become the religion of Europe and gave them free copies of the Koran, after he had lectured them for an hour on the freedoms enjoyed by women in Libya.”

      Migrant crisis: Turkey (Erdogan) threatens EU with new surge (EU Tax Payers are paying Erdogan £2.6 billion) {bbc.co.uk nov2016}
      “Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has warned that he will let hundreds of thousands of migrants travel on to Europe if pushed by the EU.

      ‘Listen to me: these border gates will be opened if you go any further,’ he warned the EU on Friday.”

      Sluff – why did they (NGOs?) burn the rubber boats (environmentally a bad idea) when they could just rip a hole in the middle to sink it?

    Wayne Couzens, the murderer and sex offending Police Officer. Should we be surprised he was allowed to continue in the Force when they knew he was a wrong one? No, I’m not surprised at all, it’s a result of the rottenness and corruption that runs through the entire public sector and that includes the BBC. The public sector, instead of serving us has become self serving and expects us to to bend down to them. The public sector Unions are very prominent in this culture, strident in protecting wrong doers and criminals in their ranks at our expense.

    My son is a senior teacher and has direct experience of what happens with dealing with badly performing and dishonest teachers. The back stop with dismissals are the employment tribunals. The School could sack the teacher but the Union will fund an action in an employment Tribunal. The unrecoverable cost for the Local Authority of a Tribunal is a minimum of £10K even if they win. Costs in complex cases, the sky is the limit. The teacher threatened by the sack and his/her Union know this so the LA is effectively blackmailed into paying out at least £10K plus a non disclosure agreement to allow the teacher to get a job at another School. A lot of Schools never sack a teacher, a lazy and/or left wing Head will let the School fill up with dud teachers. The way Unions will support sex offenders and criminals is remarkable.

    The key thing is the Non Disclosure agreement. They are widely used in the public sector and results in bad employees obtaining re-employment, sometimes even with the same employer!

    I have no idea if Wayne Couzens was a beneficiary of payouts or non disclosure agreements but I wouldn’t be surprised.

    Here is an interview with the military expert Col Douglas MacGregor advisor to Donald Trump. The reason I am posting this is because at around 4 minutes in he confirms (in the majority) everything I have been saying on these pages about the intentions behind the war in Ukraine.
    He isn’t quite as forthcomming on the facts as I have been, preferring perhaps for political reasons to describe the actors as “very wealthy individuals behind the Democrat party” without mentioning their specific religious background.

    The rest of his analysis is however exactly the same as I have stated, that the Ukraine war was started by wealthy Jewish Democrat supporters and Jewish members of the Democrat party with the intention of breaking up Russia, removing Putin as leader, inserting their puppet Alexi Navalny and carving up the natural mineral and energy resources of Russia amongst themselves.

    I can name these people if necessary because they’ve already started carving up Ukraine now it’s been depopulated.

    Watch it and weep.

    The dictionary and google tell me that the word phobia is having an irrational fear. Well I don’t have an irrational fear of Islam. My fear is perfectly rational and can be amply supported with vast oceans of evidence.

    I therefore do not suffer from Islamophobia, in fact most people do suffer from Islamophobia. The word is being used wrongly and I refuse to use it in the sense that dimwits have agreed too. The English language will continue to be hi-jacked and changed as Orwell explained throughout 1984.

      he Rochdale child sex abuse ring involved underage teenage girls in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, England. Nine men were convicted of sex trafficking and other offences including rape, trafficking girls for sex and conspiracy to engage in sexual activity with a child in May 2012. This resulted in Greater Manchester Police launching Operation Doublet to investigate further claims of abuse with 19 men so far being convicted.[1] Forty-seven girls were identified as victims of child sexual exploitation during the police investigation.[2][3][4] The men were British Pakistanis, which led to discussion on whether the failure to investigate them was linked to the authorities’ fear of being accused of racial prejudice.[5] The girls were mainly White British.[5]

    TOADY Watch #1 – oh dear, how sad, never mind …. again …

    The TOADY programme really do not know what to make of George Galloway’s by-election victory in Rochdale. On the one hand they are sad that the Labour vote collapsed but on the other hand the BBC, newsreaders and presenters all, are pains to point out Labour’s putative but disowned candidate, Azhar Ali, has apologised for his anti-Semitic statements.

    Poor old Mishal drew the short straw of having to interview Chris Williamson of the Workers Party of Britain (sounds uncomfortably close to the old Socialist Workers Party, to me) and he did not let Mishal get an edge in wordways to start with. Only when he needed to draw breath did Mishal get the chance to ask a question.

    The BBC will be pleased that their favoured people groups, the UN, UNRWA and Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank will have a voice representing them in the UK Parliament.

    We want to attract the broadest range of talented people to be part of the BBC – whether that’s to contribute to our programming or our wide range of non-production roles. The more diverse our workforce, the better able we are to respond to and reflect our audiences in all their diversity.

    Active word “may”?
    more fear & fear ………
    “Fewer frosts might sound like a good thing – less scraping ice off the car, for instance – but for some plants it’s not such good news – and it could even have an impact on the food we eat.”
    “There have been six named storms this winter, “…….
    Whos idea was it to name them them?

    £370m !
    All thanks to the failures of the Home Office and its Border Farce . The British Taxpayers are paying the cost of Tory incompetence and complacency .
    OK, lets hear it out loud “lessons to be learned” and “Stop the boats “!

    The BBC-beloved Islamogob they had to shunt off and all UK media had to shunt off and even MSNBC had to shunt off has found his way back on to The BBC TNI N. America joke that is CNN, to say stuff with little foundation or accuracy but can be screened because he’s not an on staff gob.

    “When Putin did stuff like this in Ukraine we condemned him. When Assad did [it] in Syria, we condemned him. When Israel starves 100s of 1000s of people & shoots people who go to get flour, where is the condemnation from the U.S. government?” My full interview on @CNN tonight:

    “Hamas accused Israel of firing at civilians, but Israel said most died in a crush after it fired warning shots.”

    So who does BBC believe ?

    “Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia said it had received dead and wounded from western Gaza City ”

    “Wounded” association answered my question.

    I have a terrible concern that the muppets in Westminster will panic at this result as they are too thick and out of touch for the reality to ever be allowed to intrude into their comfortable bubble. Labour in particular will jerk their knee and begin to Islamo pander again and we will see more Sharia law being implemented in Britain such as criminal law banning criticism of that backwards religion.

      Yes, Thoughtful, I don’t think Labour realise the dangers of Islamopandering. The jihad subdues all non-Muslims and doesn’t make an exception for Israel-hating, champagne socialists from Islington.

      Socialists cannot perceive reality because they are blinded by their own envy, resentment, or in some cases, guilt. Galloway is from an Irish Catholic background and was weaned on paranoia and victimhood. His type identify with other perceived victims but rarely are able to see that hotheadedness and a persecution complex are all that they have in common. Galloway doesn’t realise that he would not be safe inside the Caliphate.

      This by-election was a good victory for Islam in Britain. It’s a small but significant step. As many of us have long known, Muslims cannot and do not assimilate and become British. They bide their time and then strike. They become bolder every day and less furtive about their true intentions.

      One day, they’re going to take over our country. In a way, they deserve to. They are strong and we are weak, pusillanimous, decadent, gender-bending milksops. In the real world outside Islington dining rooms, harsh Darwinian conditions still apply.

        Although I have no time for red labour I’m sure some of their ‘brains’ are looking with alarm at all those would be labour seat which will now be controlled by Muslim postal voting . I wonder if their candidates have been selected yet ? But I guess Starmer will have to start expressing clear hostility toward Israel to try to keep them on board .

        Perhaps it will be a battle of hostility ( anti semitism ) between red labour and Mohammed Galloway’ Islam party …..

        Trouble coming … keep going IDF ….
