    “Two brothers accused of ‘blasphemy’ and defacing a Koran in Pakistan – sparking 5,000-strong mob to attack their Christian enclave – are freed after six months in jail after prosecutors drop charges

    More than 80 Christian homes and 19 churches were vandalised by crowds in the eastern city of Jaranwala last August”

    Not BBC but Newsweek — “Biden Admin’s New Term for Migrants Sparks Republican Fury”.

    “President Joe Biden’s administration is facing backlash from GOP lawmakers who are angered by a Thursday statement from the White House that referred to migrants as ‘newcomers’ […] the border bill ‘includes $1.4 billion for cities and states who are providing critical services to newcomers’…”

    So we’ve gone from illegal aliens > illegal migrants > irregular migrants > undocumented noncitizens > newcomers. What next?

    Predictable MSM framing… making the response to this piece of doublespeak more of an issue than the act itself.

      Yes the perennial victims show their real face at last as TR and others have been warning for years.

      Vicious, threatening, racist and violent just like the shitholes they all come from.

      BTW 40% of the vote of 40% turnout is …16%

        They play the victim until they have power. Then they victimise the host culture. Especially when the host culture is as weak and pathetic as ours, to the point of suicidal.

        Douglas Murray should have called his book The Strange Suicide of Europe.

    Can anyone bet on which Tory will challenge the tax position of Ange’s several houses?

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-68428229

    The Beeboid response is, ‘roll over’, ‘nothing to see here’, and Kia Strimmer has agreed, although he is a lawyer, not an accountant or a tax expert. I’m not actually sure what he is…

    Surely there’s someone in government who should be sorting this out? The rules are so complicated that nobody understands what the heck is going on anyway!

    How’s about an independent Revenue Enquiry – using this case as a starter to clean up the disgrace of all people fiddling the books by quoting laws they make up for themselves?

    All their extra dosh comes from the taxpayer, so it shouldn’t be an onerous task, as long as the job isn’t given to a civil servant!

        You’re right of course Fed…

        But what sort of fraud is it? Was it – er – evasion, or the other sort when you get away with it anyway?

          Evasion – if she has falsely declared one home as her primary residence in order to avoid the capital gain tax then she is toast ….. but it won’t go anywhere …

    I The outgoing green card pm popped out of number 10 to do a 15 minute Chamberlain impersonation …. Spouting lines about tolerance and democracy someone in Whitehall was shouting out at him – the shouter wasn’t stopped .

    Apparently the ‘Far Right ‘ is a threat . Islam got a couple of mentions . At the end rishi reached into his pocket and got his green card out . The private jet has been hired – by the end of 2024 he will be gone …. As if he never existed – along with his soppy woke regime …..

    The telegraph put the speech up – the mail ignored it and stuck with the royal plus shotgun

      Yeah yeah yeah, we know all that! All he’s doing is saying, ‘We must do this’, and ‘it’s our duty’ blah blah blah…

      Get off your arse and actually make things happen, Sunak! You really are a waste of space telling everyone, yet again, what ‘needs to be done’!

      Bloody well do something positive because at the moment, you’re pissing our country up against the wall! You’ve got plenty of things which you could do, like export the illegals, stop the boats, organise a non-corruptible voting system, forget the ridiculous ‘net-zero’ cobblers – the list goes on…

      The PM said Islamists and the far-right were “two sides of the same extremist coin” who loathed Britain.”

      Correction, it is the Islamists and the far-left who loathe Britain. It was the supposed ‘far-right’ who came to London to protect the war memorials. Why would patriots loathe their own country.

      It’s an interesting result as the independent came second showing a rejection of the mainstream parties.
      Setting aside the Galloway issues the non mainstream parties here garnered 68% of the vote the three uniparty candidates just 27% or just over one quarter of the vote.

      I think that is significant aside from Galloway.

      The catasrophe being his election?

      More seriously he is referring to the Nakba which is the word Palestinians use for the founding of the state of Israel when they lost the land.
      It’s a coded reference some will understand but most won’t.

    Rishi boldly denounces extremism… such as that on the Far Right!
    Funny that, I must have missed the screaming mobs of Far Right demonstrators every weekend for the past few months, or those Far Right extremists threatening canvassers in Rochdale;
    or those Far Right thugs who murdered an MP, forced another to stand down after setting fire to his surgery, and intimidated Parliament into changing its procedures.
    And in just the past few minutes, it’s been announced that there has been a shooting in Clapham. Probably another extreme Conservative – bank manager or stock broker, you know the sort. Definitely not an Islamist.
