    This is our media. It’s run by unruly children. This is not just a Tuesday morning derp. This is who they are at their core.

    Conservative source points out tonight that Rishi Sunak has never visited a mosque during his time as Prime Minister.
    All of his predecessors – Johnson, May, Cameron – visited mosques in their time. (Liz Truss did not, though her premiership was of course short).

    Waaaaaah… something didn’t happen… wahhhh.

    Can it be right that Phillips, Kuenssberg etc didn’t invite man of the moment George Galloway onto their shows this morning? If not why not?

    Pete’s man… no one got in for a moment!

    Anybody who thinks DJT is mis-speaking repeatedly due to senility , substituting “Obama” for “Biden” is a total fool.

    This is deeply troubling – a councillor in Pembrokeshire has described how council officials are trying to “strong-arm” councillors into voting for what would be a record breaking tax hike. And having seen the emails myself, it’s difficult to disagree…

    The kind of thing ‘account holding’ media should look into. Especially now.

    Being a councillor is a thankless task. Unless on the executive (in our shire) they get a ton of grief and no money for a lot of work. Gets cushier up the greasy pole where money gets talked about though.

    I recall when XR was still just a commie Alinsky army of soap dodgers, some green biddies on the council wangled a vote on a ‘climate emergency’. No one bar them in the shire cared a jot. But come the day of the vote, a significant, loud, aggressive band of ‘protestors’ had gathered to line the entrance to the hall to ‘encourage’ them to try a new form of democracy… or else.

      My Great Grandfather , Grandfather and my father never benefitted from any slavery . They spent a lifetime underground in the black dust working in the coalmines of taffland .
      Evidently the C of E is awash with money.
      Who exactly is getting all the ‘dosh’ ?
      Many church buildings are need of repair and refurbishment while they make appeals for ‘donations’ from the public . Other churches are sold off.

        Ah…but….the general wealth that slavery supposedly brought us was ploughed into the industrial revolution….all that machinery and industry came from slavery…and the revolution was fed and fired by coal….so the coal jobs are a result of slavery. Thanks guys…so that’ll be a billion pounds the coalminers owe ‘Blackness’.

        Actually, if you think about it, it wasn’t ‘slavery’ that brought wealth but the products….all we saved were the wages…and we still had to feed, clothe and house the slaves…so we’ll deduct that from the reparations. If we stopped paying the workers in a car factory would that make us all richer? It’d save the factory owners some money but not a huge amount in relation to total income….and where does the wealth come from…who buys the cars and where does their money come from? If I buy a car and the money comes from me selling ice creams or some such then the wealth going to the car factory comes from ice cream not slavery….just as in times past people buying sugar or cotton clothing bought it with money from their own jobs….so the wealth is not from slavery…it’s just recycled…the only people that benefited from slavery were the people who saved on their wages…and the slaves themselves who could still be living, or dying, in Africa.

    BBC going large on the CofE coughing up a billion in reparations….due to its investment in a company, the South Sea Company, that had some slave dealings.

    Hmmm…

    ‘Kehinde Andrews, professor of black studies at Birmingham City University, said it was “impossible to quantify” the lasting impact of slavery or just how much the Church had benefited from it.’

    Lol….as far as I can make out the SSC actually made a loss on the slave trade…so ‘just how much the Church benefited’ is quite easy to quantify….zilch….or less than zilch….and the company transported a grand total of 34,000 slaves approximately….so hardly a holocaust…and so a billion, or any amount, seems somewhat steep.

    It seems the racist carpetbaggers know this and are trying to make the CofE pay through the nose for ‘immorality’ more than anything else..nebulous claims that can have no real quantified value but hey…a billion will do nicely.

    And, er, ‘impossible to quantify the impact of slavery’? Well…instead of a professor in a nice US university making a living talking crap you could be living in some shit hole in Africa earning crap. Pretty sure the descendents of slaves have benefited enormously from the sacrifice of their forebears….who themselves probably benefited in that they were still alive and not killed outright by the Black tribes that captured them…and didn’t make human sacirifices out of them.

    And let’s not forget the first ‘slave’ owner in the US was, er, black

    Had to laugh to hear the BBC trailing a discussion and telling us that they were bringing in ‘historian’, or legendary spinner of myth and legend David Olugosa to discuss if he thought a billion was enough….I can’t imagine what the little grifter said.

    Sooo…the head of the investigation into the church was black, the BBC thinks a black extremist nutter like Andrews is worth quoting, without telling us he is a racist extremist nutter, and of course the BBC house Black ‘historian’ Olusoga gets to pipe up….have to ask where is Lenny Henry?…surely he has something worthwhile to say.

    It is an extremely slippery slope, and completely unjustifed…but we know people will fold and pay up….and the BBC etc will try to use this as leverage on the more sensible who won’t pay…..for instance the SSC was in fact a device to handle government debt and so it puts the government in the line of fire. The BBC will know this and are undoubtedly already shaping up the next article to put pressure on the government to stump up many, many billions….and then onto the next target.

    You can make endless and infinitely spurious and tenuous links to slavery in order to fabricate some far distant connection of everyone in this country…even those who have migrated here. We’ve seen people who’ve had a relative who knew a man who bought a cotton shirt in the 16th century accused of being a slaver and thus guilty and in need of atonement..best done by handing over loads of cash to a blackman….though that’s pretty much an everyday occurence on the streets of London these days.

    It is basically a very sick and insidious form of racism that is being ratcheting up and used against us, a war against white people in which all Whites are deemed guilty and thus must apologise, atone and make reparation for their sins…no doubt an annual parade of sinners will be on the books as whites are forced to walk barefoot and naked through the streets of Britain lined with Blacks to grovel and appeal for their forgiveness.

    Or maybe we’ll just shut down the Black’s propaganda machine and tell them to eff off.

    The most dangerous, divisive and destructive organisation in Britain today is the BBC…..it has some of the most stupid, the most sanctimonious and the most unworldly journalists in the world…people who have no idea of the real world consequences of their demands be it net zero, mass immigration or demonising white people.

      “Over its entire trading lifetime, the SSC forced nearly 42,000 people to leave the African Coast. It disembarked almost 35,000 people meaning that just over 7000 people died on the crossing.

      Their page also mentioned that the Royal Navy often supplied protection and escorts to SSC
      and the Royal Africa Company RAC

        33,243 were volunteers (47%),
        16,953 pressed men (24%),
        while another 20,370 were listed as volunteers separately (29%)
        It’s suggested that second group were actually press ganged but persuaded to sign on as volunteers in order to get a sign on bonus, but that also meant they could be severely punished if they later deserted.

      We absolutely should not be looking to get rid of the house of Lords, unless of course those people wanting it undertake personally to pay ALL of the increased costs. (which I seriously doubt any would want).

      When the inept Tories came to power under the Socialis Workers Party affiliate David Cameron, Labour had a bill underway through the lords to ban speech.

      Yes you read that right Labour wanted to ban all speech, not free speech or so called ‘hate’ speech, but any and all speech.

      The Tories as might be expected were prepared to sit there and do nothing, but thankfully the House of Lords stopped it in its tracks.

      If this had been an elected Labour house it would have gone through on the nod and speech in the UK would have been banned now.

    ”You’re a disgrace’: Donald Trump’s late father resurrected by AI to blast him ahead of election ‘

    or

    ‘Fake AI images of Putin, Trump being arrested spread online’

    Why does the BBC’s Marianna Spring not mention these fake AI attacks on Trump but does attack images that are pro-Trump?……

    The BBC getting frantic as Blacks and Hispanics desert the Democrats and go for Trump….though not unusual as they did it before as well….

    ‘Trump supporters target black voters with faked AI images’

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-68440150

    Marianna Spring springing into action again as the BBC revs up the machinery to support Biden once again.

    Note how Spring makes a huge fuss over fake images of Trump but dismisses those of Biden as either from his critics or, well, nothing to see here…Biden is the victim, Trump the criminal….oddly not saying how many fake images are created by Democrats of Trump….indeed the biggest fake news created by them was the fake Russia dossier…but let’s not mention that eh?

    ‘I did not find similarly manipulated images of Joe Biden with voters from a particular demographic. The AI images of the president tend to feature him alone or with other world leaders such as Russian President Vladimir Putin or former US President Barack Obama.

    Some are created by critics, others by supporters.

    In January, the Democratic candidate was himself a victim of an AI-generated impersonation. ‘

    This is a BBC report cobbled together to support Biden and trash Trump. It’s propaganda. It’s electoral interference in a foreign election…the stuff the BBC accused Russia of doing…and still tries to falsely associate it to Trump by putting the two facts in the same paragraph…

    ‘Unlike in 2016, when there was evidence of foreign influence campaigns, the AI-generated images found by the BBC appear to have been made and shared by US voters themselves.’

    and here…

    ‘Disinformation tactics in the US presidential elections have evolved since 2016, when Donald Trump won. Back then, there were documented attempts by hostile foreign powers, such as Russia, to use networks of inauthentic accounts to try to sow division and plant particular ideas. ‘

    The BBC is one of the biggest creators and broadcasters of fake news on the planet….and Spring is one of the useless idiots employed as the mouthpiece to disseminate it.

      The media can keep calling you “Republicans,” but if you support Democrats, take Democratic Party positions, make voting for Democrats all the way down the ticket a binary choice and moral imperative, and then take most of your money from big Democratic Party donors, you’re a Democrat. That’s fine. You should embrace it.

    Remarkable that Galloway can call Israelis Nazis and proclaim he is just there to represent Muslims and the BBC barely raises an eyebrow…however if Boris was to say the words ‘surrender act’ he’d be pilloried and vilified for dangerous rhetoric that threatens democracy and puts the lives of MPs at risk.

    Love Galloway’s logic as he says ‘ “no good can come” from foreign countries meddling in others’ affairs.’….and yet hopes to meddle in Gazan affairs himself by ‘buying’ the Muslim vote here and trying to use it to leverage the government’s actions.

    Will be interesting to see how the BBC continues to treat him and his words considering he has started off with what are very inflammatory statements already….way beyond anything the BBC et al accused Lee Anderson of saying….and yet where’s the outrage? Where’s the cries of anti-Semitism which he is well known for….calling the Jews Nazis and going specifically for the Muslim vote are clearly intended to target one set of people…and yet tumble-weed.

    Before I make this post I want to make it absolutely clear I in no way endorse or agree with Galloway or his recent statement.

    MPs however would do well to note Galloways actions. Unlike them skulking in the shadows, afraid of the light and of actually doing something.
    Galloway gets straight to it, and shows the people who elected him why he was worth voting for. No doubt he will keep performing and the people of Rochdale will probably view him as a worthwhile punt at the general election.

I did not vote for her at the last two General Elections and I keep hoping (and praying) that she would cross the floor of the House to join the Conservatives. She would be an asset to the Conservative Party.

      Thoughtful – but Galloway is on a different trajectory to the party politicians – blue labour all toeing the line to get a government job – and the very few who speak their mind get punished .
      But there is a problem with Galloway – namely the ego and more importantly what will he do for his constituency ? Fighting for Gaza and Islam is one thing – but caring for his constituency is another …..

      I will never vote conservative again . I examined what they have done for me in the last 12 years and the answer is – nothing – absolutely nothing – and my local mp cares more about Chinese Muslims than his constituency – he will be Lord Duncan Smiff of the weegers …

    The BBC is reprimanding a journalist – for the crime of telling the truth
    When the BBC described the murderer Scarlet Blake simply as “a woman”, the more generously inclined among its viewers might have put it down to human error. After all, it’s possible that the BBC’s journalists were genuinely unaware that Blake is male. (which he was). However: The BBC, however, has ruled that Mr Webb breached impartiality rules, because, in using the above phrase, he “gave the impression of endorsing one viewpoint in a highly controversial area:.

    But this is absurd. Mr Webb did not endorse a viewpoint. He merely stated a fact. The BBC, therefore, is censuring a journalist for the crime of telling the truth.

    I wonder what George Orwell – himself a former BBC journalist – would have made of it. As it happens, a statue of Orwell stands outside Broadcasting House, the BBC’s headquarters. The wall behind this statue is engraved with one of his most famous maxims. “If liberty means anything at all,” reads the engraving, “it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.”
    (excerpt)
    https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/03/02/bbc-reprimands-journalist-justin-webb-for-telling-truth/

    In the comments section: (worth repeating)
    LS wrote: “Having worked at the BBC Eric Blair, using the pseudonym George Orwell, wrote ‘1984’ which was based in The Ministry of Truth. The purpose of the Ministry of Truth was to lie. I think that that tells us something”.

    PAL wrote: “Something the sanctimonious New Left mob is obviously unaware of is Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Adopted in 1948, it states that: “Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media”.

    Woke zealots of the Left would also do well to consider the following observation: “The absence of freedom of the press makes all other freedoms illusory.” It was made by Karl Marx.

    It’s time the cancel culture was cancelled”.

    ‘An episode of Dan Wootton Tonight on GB News broke broadcasting rules, media regulator Ofcom has concluded.

    Comments made during the programme by Laurence Fox about a female political journalist, Ava Evans, prompted 8,867 complaints to Ofcom.

    Viewers complained his remarks were sexist, misogynistic and offensive.

    Ofcom said his remarks “constituted a highly personal attack on Ms Evans and were potentially highly offensive to viewers”.

    The broadcasting regulator also said it has “significant concerns about GB News’ editorial control of its live output” and is requiring the channel to “provide further detailed information about its compliance practices in this area”.’

    Well, errr….you could apply exactly the same ruling to just about any BBC discussion or phone-in where presenters not only do not call out abuse or misinformation but actively encourage it, laugh along and are very positive and enthusiastic towards the speaker and then add their own comments to the mix. Boris and Farage are constant targets for abuse and derision as is Truss these days….and let’s not forget the black suggesting we #KillWhitey…achingly funny apparently and totally acceptable to the BBC and Ofcom.

    US Supreme Court rules Colorado cannot ban Trump from presidential ballot
    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68280062

    How unfortunate for the BBC that the Supreme Court ruled unanimously on this. All of a sudden their subtle hints of bias have been dropped.

    But the stand-out thing about this article is that it proves the actions of the Democrats to ban Trump from running were simple politicial persecution in an attempt to stop someone running for office. It’s the stuff of fascists and Nazis. THAT is the big story here.

    Do the BBC go anywhere near that ?. No. Of course they don’t. Instead they give all those who participated in it a soapbox to get one last attempt to slur him in:

    ‘Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (Crew), said in a statement that while the court “failed to meet the moment”, it is “still a win for democracy: Trump will go down in history as an insurrectionist”.’

    ‘Failed to meet the moment’. Sounds a lot like how they spoke for George Floyd to me.

    This is what they wrote after the 2020 riot:
    ‘This is essentially an indictment for an attempt to overturn the republic and its most crucial process of preserving democratic governance’

    I would argue this case is 10 times worse. It is the most deliberate and calculated act of attempted politicial assasination.

    This ruling should result in the removal of all those governors who supported it from office with immediate effect and THEY should be on trial.

    And of course don’t forget Biden told us all they would go after Trump with everything they could and they would prevent him running again. That is far worse than what Trump said to his followers in 2020. It’s very obvious the orders to go after Trump like this have come from the top.

    But not a word about any of it in the BBC report. Because they are as dirty, corrupt and culpuble as the Democrats.

    Sarah Everard: BBC documentary recalls police learning killer was Met officer
    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-68466660

    And they’ve used the fact they’ve made it as an excuse to run the story again complete with a full recap.

    The thing about this documentary is that it’s not a documentary at all. It appears to be 100% empathy porn which is all about peoples emotions. For example:

    ‘”At some point you’re gonna end up looking Sarah’s family in the eyes,” Mr Harvey tells him, pushing him to confess.’

    ‘”I knew that I had to tell my boss and I can just remember the shock of having to just sit on the floor of the office and say to her, ‘You’re not going to believe this, that he’s a police officer’.’

    What kind of ‘documentary’ is this ???.

    What I remember most about it is how the other violence and murders – such as Sabina Nessa and Sasha Johnson who made the same big headlines and got the same vigils right up until they found out the attackers were blacks and and immigrant when both stories suddenly disappeared.

    A relevant fact here would be to rell us what percentage of murders in London are by the police. A couple among thousands I expect.

    lol – the BBC telling us most sincerely about how they verify what media they use.

    I recall making several posts here about their complete fake pictures they use. Such as the ‘bomb crater’ in Ukraine which had neat sides and an intact cable running along the bottom of it or another one which had no fresh piles of soil and was already full of water meaning whatever it was had been there for weeks.

    And I wonder if they will tell us when they use fake Getty pictures. Because I’ve seen plenty of classrooms full of black children which are most certainly not from the UK. And a black nurse assisting a white female doctor to do an operation when there wasn’t even anyone on the operating table.

    No doubt it will be acceptable for them to do it as long as ‘it captures the sentiment’.

    You always smelt a rat when you had an eye-witness on the BBC telling us that the Israelis slaughtered 100’s when everyone else was saying something completely different….and yet the BBC put his words at the forefront of every report….

    ‘The BBC used an anti-Israel journalist bankrolled by Iran as a key source in its reporting on the Gaza conflict, it has emerged.

    In a report over the weekend, the BBC analysed video and eyewitness accounts of a rush on an aid convoy in Gaza that led to the deaths of more than 100 Palestinians.

    The report cited an eyewitness account from Mahmoud Awadeyah, who was described as a journalist on the scene.

    But it has emerged that Mr Awadeyah works for Tansim News Agency, an Iranian outlet with links to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which has vowed to destroy the Israeli state.

    Danny Cohen, the former director of BBC Television, accused the corporation of “failing in the most basic of journalistic practices” by not checking one of its key sources.

    Writing in The Telegraph, he said: “The BBC has a habit of accepting at face value what they are told by people who present as Palestinian civilians or officials from civic authorities and either don’t understand or don’t care that they are representatives of terrorist organisations.

    “Our publicly-funded broadcaster seems to believe that ‘balance’ and objectivity means treating a genocidal terrorist group and a democratically-elected government in the same way.”’

    Not wrong is he? The BBC has spent the last few days parroting Hamas statements verbatim without any qualification….and the BBC failed to mention one very important piece of information….that it was reported that Palestinian gunmen opend fire on the convoy and looted it. Why would the BBC miss out that crucial bit of information…other than to try and make it look like this was all down to Israeli troops on a murderous rampage?

    And then finally when the BBC admitted, well down a report and very briefly, that there may have been other people shooting it was with this qualification…..

    ‘Mark Regev, special adviser to the Israeli prime minister, had earlier told CNN that Israel had not been involved directly in any way and that the gunfire had come from “Palestinian armed groups”, though he did not provide evidence.

    When has the BBC ever asked Hamas for evidence or qualified their claims by saying they haven’t provided any?

    The BBC’s reporting is stirring up hate, anger and anti-Semitism on a grand scale.

    ‘BBC’s Israel-Hamas coverage inflames community tensions, says former Attorney General’
    ‘The BBC has inflamed community tensions with its coverage of the Israel-Hamas conflict, MPs will be told on Tuesday.

    Sir Michael Ellis, the former attorney general, is also expected to accuse the corporation of institutional failings in the way it handles accusations of anti-Semitism.’

      Is Donald Trump a threat to US democracy? – BBC News

      Possibly the most partisan hit-job I’ve ever seen on the BBC. Though I could only watch the first few minutes because I find Ros Atkins unbearable to watch with the sneering way he talks to try and discredit or reinforce whatever anti-Trump molehill they are trying to make into a mountain.

      The point they choose to miss entirely is that Trump is saying what he will do BEFORE the election. He is laying it out for the people to see. And if they want him to do it, they will vote for him.

      It’s about as democratic as you can get. Unlike the Left who lie and virtue-signal to con the racist idiots into voting for them when in fact they don’t care about them one bit.

      So the Democrats want to remove Trump ‘the danger to democracy’ by not allowing anyone to have the choice to vote for him. And the BBC are absolutely fine with that. The irony is simply stunning.

      Sounds a lot more like the Nazis to me.

National government will be reduced to the status of local councils.

    There will enormous pressure being applied by the international neo liberal elite to stop Trump . It isn’t just the US political and deep state systems that want him stopped, it’s a full blown international conspiracy to undermine democracy and Trump is the champion of the people.

    Nostalgia is the enemy. Well, nostalgia and also the English, capitalism, Mrs Thatcher, the police, the English, middle-class swingers, Freemasons, immigration officials and did I mention the English?

    Actor and director Michael Sheen’s spittle-flecked revolutionary rant The Way (BBC1) began with incoherent fury and became ever more deranged. These three hours spent denouncing England’s oppression of the Welsh eventually blundered to a close in a mess of disconnected scenes.

    They’re constantly dodging English fascist vigilantes, flying the Cross of St George. ‘We’ve been seeing a lot of these disease-riddled Welshies scuttle over the border,’ seethes one.

    Finally, the family make it to the south coast and a dinghy across the Channel, to escape ‘Hell Island’.

    Dad Geoff drowns — sacrificing himself in an act of redemption, because he failed to live up to the Left-wing ideals of his father, Denny (St Denny’s ghost being played, of course, by Sheen himself). ”
