    There could be trouble ahead for the BBC. There is a newspaper report in the Sunday Telegraph about a ‘fawning BBC documentary’ over someone who was a paedophile. Cancel your TV Licence. Defund the BBC.

          @Up2Snuff repeatedly shouting that, is bullying & harassment
          You made a false statement I corrected you
          but you can’t stand being called wrong so keep making this false claim
          I haven’t led your life so don’t know what makes you like that
          but in general good advice is just to chill out
          Plenty of people have tougher lives and are bigger victims.

            Stew, “You made a false statement I corrected you”.

            I think I corrected you. You were wrong but sort of right because you were out of date, just like another poster on here who is ‘not up to date’. 😉 Former President Trump repeated the remarks he made about NATO contributions in 2017 again at a political rally in 2024. That is what got the media, especially the BBC, excited all over again in 2024. Can you understand that? Capiche?

        A startling business opportunity to boost the economy?

        A business setting up massive jails to house foreign criminals. Extend the service to cover the beloved EU. Could I apply for a Government grant and/or use the millions the Government propose spending on the ‘safety’ of muslims to achieve mega jails?

    There seem to a huge number of GuardianSupremacist accounts with tens of thousands of followers
    tweeting ‘That Tommy Robinson he’s so thick, he got arrested for attending a football match, when he’s still in his 4 year ban from football grounds’

    That is surreal cos it’s well known the ban was changed to end after 3 years, so he has been attending football matches for some time now.

    He was arrested on Saturday outside Selhurst Park
    whilst apparently taking his daughter to see Luton play “It’s her birthday”

    He was still under draconian bail conditions that forbade him from going inside the M25, unless under special exemptions.

    I’d guess he wanted to get arrested to show that the Met Police are so crazy they won’t let a guy take his daughter to the football
    even though it represents zero danger to public order.

      ‘Thank you for the huge contribution that Muslims across our nation make to our society’.

      Any similar complimentary and grateful comments made by ANY Muslim leaders about Christians ?. No. Thought not.

      That has to be one of the most pathetic, virtue-signalling and totally meaningless appeasement ‘speeches’ I have ever heard.

      Meanwhile we got another example of their ‘huge contribution’ to our society with this:

      Not reported by the BBC of course. Because they don’t think Hamas ARE terrorists : they think they are freedom fighters.

      Calvin Robinshop answers the arch bishop

      I am searching for a charitable interpretation of this.

      It seems like he sees no need for Moslems to convert.

      That would mean either he does not care for their souls, or he does not believe Jesus Christ is the only way to Salvation.

      Either way, he is rendered unfit for office.

    ‘The Pope was quoted as saying: “The strongest one is the one who looks at the situation, thinks about the people and has the courage of the white flag, and negotiates.”

    Ukraine’s foreign minister says it will “never raise any other flags” than the country’s blue and yellow colours.’

    Haiti — “The United States says it has airlifted non-essential embassy staff from Haiti, as the country spirals further into gang violence […] It follows attacks by gangs on the airport, police stations and prisons this week […] The country’s main port said it was suspending operations on Thursday due to sabotage and vandalism.”

    When Trump called Haiti and others ‘shithole’ countries the media bubble shrieked with outrage. Like they sniggered at his comments on migrant violence in Sweden and German reliance on Russian energy. The International Organization for Migration (UN) now admits “Haitians are unable to lead a decent life. They are living in fear […] The capital is surrounded by armed groups and danger. It is a city under siege.”

    Yup sounds like a shithole. I await an update from the UN and the BBC on Trump’s assessments, must be any time now.

    I think I heard – on bbc news – that the outgoing blue labour regime ( it’s not a government ) is going to use borrowed taxpayers’ cash to provide more defences for mosques .

    Has the regime heard of threats to mosques ? Have they realised that a lot more people are getting a lot more cheesed of about being dictated to by these third world invaders ?

    I’m sure we are about to see a whole new intense propaganda exercise about how great Islam is – with various approved ‘mo s’ in public life held up as ‘role models ‘.

    Even less will be heard of paki Muslim racist paedo Rape gangs or support for Islamic Hamas or attacks on Jews and Christian’s and Hindus and queers …..

            Agree. But I have doubts that even if we had a force like the CRS in France whether it would ever be deployed against something like a pro Hamas March . On the other hand if say there was a massive demo against using an ex RAF base for asylum seekers ( invaders) I can see it being used against the demonstrators.
            Before we have such a force we need to be confident that it will be used in the best interests of the indigenous population and not used to suppress and intimidate them. For that to happen we need a complete clear out of the current political class.

    We start the week with a cautionary object lesson in how controlled PR messaging and potential media manipulation is performed – before your very eyes – as vintage performer Arthur Askey would have quipped (there’s one for the teenagers – ay-thang-yaw!)

    Thank you – enthuses the Daily Mirror: First official pic after op… Recovering Kate’s message to the nation as William takes happy snap for Mother’s Day… it is hoped the photo will stop wild conspiracies about Kate’s health as she recovers

    I’m smiles better… Mum’s the word… Kate’s joyous Mother’s Day photo – gushes the giveaway free ad sheet Metro…

    But what’s this…? With quite some irony the prime advertising spot on the frontpage of the freebie Metro just beneath their (cropped) version of the photo of the Royals consists of ad copy which reads: “Should’ve gone to Specsavers”

    Photo from palace was doctored, say agencies – explains the Telegraph: Princess of Wales’s Mothering Sunday image of family recalled after editing fears… it was last night recalled by Getty… – knowing our Getty Images as we do hereabouts one speculates for a moment this was for reasons of lack of any black children present in the Royal family, I jest of course. The Telegraph report continues: Associated Press, Agence-France-Presse and Reuters, which put out a “kill notice” to halt their distribution of the picture

    Perhaps not since comrade Stalin’s loyal press office minions famously airbrushed the image of Nikolai Yezhov from a photograph of the former head of secret police, standing beside the Soviet dictator in happier days, has there been quite such focus on this form of camera fakery.

    Princess Charlotte’s sleeve and wrist appeared to be partially missing… the Princess was not wearing her wedding ring… a tree in the background which had some leaves in mid-March (Telegraph)

    This joyous Mother’s Day snap was meant to be the reassurance we all needed – but has it backfired? (Daily Mail)

    “At closer inspection it appears that the source has manipulated the image,” the AP notice said – so report both Times and Telegraph

    The agencies have a policy of of not distributing photographs that have been overly edited. Kensington Palace declined to comment (Telegraph)

    In politics – more news of how the two clenched cheeks of our Uniparty arse draw closer together as the all but redundant general election nears…

    Starmer to govern with ‘gang of four’…upending the traditional system of cabinet government… which is seen as too unwieldy… a powerful executive cabinet that would make key decisions… Rachel Reeves… Angela Rayner… and Pat McFadden… (Times)

    Cabinet office plan… The prime minister should break up the office and make big decisions with only a handful of colleagues according to a report by ex-premiers Sir John Major and Gordon Brown (FT)

    Don’t forget to vote… you know it makes no difference

    Bye-bye playmates!

    Can anyone explain why the BBC are headlining a story about a possible but not confirmed bit of retouching in a photo issued by the Palace?

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-68526972

    The only reason I can think of is that the headlines they are running lean towards conveying a negative, dodgy impression of devious goings on by the Royals, which of course is the default position for the BBC.

    My guess is that some young computer desk jockey at the palace or there publicity agents decided to retouch a bit of blurring or something which is a pretty normal procedure in graphic circles before photos are released for publication.

    I would bet quite a few quid that if the same situation had arisen with a photo released by the Holy Mother Meghan and Harry there would be tumbleweed.

    TOADY Watch #1 – ooh, ‘the Palace has cheated’ claim various photo agencies and the BBC sneer & smear, too

    What do we know about the Princess of Wales? She is a keen photographer and most likely has access to Adobe Photoshop and some serious kit, maybe including a DSLR. What do we NOT know about the Prince of Wales? We do not know how competent a photographer he is and what he knows about digital cameras and how to control them. We do know his wife handed him the camera and asked him to take the photograph.

    If it was taken on a recent DSR and if the Prince of Wales is befuddled about camera settings – and there are a bewildering number of them on the latest DSLRs – it is possible he kept his finger on the button/shutter release too long, and ‘machine gunned’ his wife and children. Children being the fidgets they are, may have moved hands and changed expressions from one picture to the next. Apparently, that is the photo agencies main concern.

    Or it could be that Princess Kate decided to work on the images in her computer. Will Adobe* be applying for a Royal Warrant?

    * Other image manipulation software is available.

      Plus whoever did any retouching may have been unaware that rejecting photos retouched for any reason is standard practice in the photo library industry and probably by the photo agencies. Notice the BBC are using the word “manipulated” rather then “retouched’ as it sounds much more damning and nefarious.

      However it’s the BBC top story running on a loop with multiple BBC talking heads getting air time.

        digg, you are correct. There was a big flap years ago but after digital imaging became commonplace about an award winner in the Wildlife Photographer of the Year competiton or WPotY as it is known to some enthusiasts. Said entrant had taken out a fence or something like that from his picture of, iirc, a wolf. It was not penning the creature into a space. It was strictly a wildlife photo but the photographer considered the fence to be a distraction and removed it with image retouching software.

        The crazy thing is that in the film era, such techniques were known and employed by graphic artists in ‘Comp Depts.’ but it was a much more tedious and arduous and time consuming process to get the scalpels out and cut a print to drop it into another picture and then re-photograph the composite which maybe then required some retouching the ‘join’. Done in a jiffy now. John Heartifeld would be extremely envious if he was still alive. He died in 1968.

        I guess this ‘thing’ will be used stir up fear and anxiety over Artificial Intelligence.

    Apparently because the skies in the UK are generally overcast at this time of year the appearance of the new moon that normally triggers Ramadan in the Middle East’s clear skies is unreliable so Muslims in the UK cannot be certain when to begin Ramadan.

    Surely – now that the Princess of Wales ©️has admitted deceiving the nation by changing an official photograph she should resign from office and retire to a non public life ….

    Did she alter the picture of prince Andrew and a 17 year old girl he did nothing wrong with but gave a lot of money to ?

    Doesn’t appear to have garnered much attention in the MSM, but it appears the DRC (Democratic Republic of Congo) is preparing to invade Rwanda.

    If this does happen and I were a broadcaster opposed to the Tories (like the BBC) I would be using every single detail to embarass the muppets for considering the country to be a safe place for asylum seekers.

    Worse still is that the lunatics in government might well have given guarantees that if anything like this does happen we will accept millions of them fleeing the war.

    I’m not sure what will happen to any asylum seekers we have sent their either, presumably we will have to bring them back to the UK again ?

    The last hour on R5:

    – Busting myths around the holy month of Ramadan
    – Some doctor who’s the first woman of colour to do something. She’s a muslim
    – Lee Anderson is from the radical right
    – The bloke who fought off a terrorist on London Bridge with a narwhal tusk has signed a letter saying not all muslims in the UK are terrorists and require fighting off with a narwhal tusk
    – The holy month of Ramadan
    – Ramadan is a holy month
    – Ramadan = holy

    This isn’t a Chris Morris episode. It’s what the gov and the BBC are pretending is normal life in Britain.

    Thanks to” Fed up” for raising the point, the News at One is leading with the Great Royal SCANDAL & CRISIS that a photo may have been edited… yes editing a family photo..
    Wow and we thought the Ukraine had problems ,let alone the Gaza situation. Now we realise what really matters.

    Even Verify get a mention….not the hilarious nonsense of Verify falling “hook line and sinker “for a Jape with some Trump snaps (the one of Trump sat with some African/Americans not the others of Trump visiting the baby Jesus, or him on the set of Ben-hur circa 1959.) But hey..ho worth a Panorama programme…who watched it I wonder?
    Quite what that back slapping little club might contribute only the BBC could say
    .
    The BBC going “full out” in the search for the tabloid audience that it needs to bump up any sort of listening figures .

      Latest rumours are that the photo was pulled because it was not diverse enough. Specifically:

      1. There are no People of Color ™ in the photo, even though as anyone who has seen a TV advert or watched a BBC programme knows, over 2/3rd of the British population are black, especially the Royals, who have been black since Queen Charlotte started Netflix back in 1761 after marrying George III.
      2. There are no members of the LGBTQS+ community present, not even a drag queen. ‘S’, by the way, is a new addition to describe those who self-identify as Saville.
      3. Although it is the start of the Holy Month of Ramadan, none of the females in the photo are wearing hijabs or making any effort to cover themselves. This can only be described as hateful, Islamophobic and offensive. Or something like that.

    A new expression has entered political debate on the BBC and elsewhere: “sectarian voting”.
    Of course, that’s just a euphemism for Islamic / Islamist voting, but politicians dare not speak its name.

    Personally, I would have no problem with Christian sectarian voting. A bit more brotherly love in Parliament could be a good thing.
    Or Buddhist sectarian voting: all those serene, chilled MPs, Ommm.
    Hindu voting: you can never have too many Elephant-headed Gods, I say. And their religious festivals always include a grand nosh-up. Yum.

    But Islamic voting is uniquely sinister, given their long-term aim of taking over the UK, then world domination and absorption into the worldwide Caliphate through Da’wah and Jihad; then imposing their ghastly Sharia practices on the dhimmi slave population.

        ‘Five days after Vladimir Putin’s invasion in February 2022, Ms Truss said in a BBC interview: ‘If people want to support that struggle, I would support them.’ No 10 distanced itself from her comments, while fellow Conservatives said it would be reckless and illegal for Britons to become involved.

        “Ms Truss retracted the statement a week later, but Ms Gregg, 57, said the damage was already done.
        Her son served with the 48th Battalion and was nicknamed ‘Eagle’ by the other soldiers.
        He saw First World War-style trench warfare, which his mother said he was ‘not equipped for’ mentally.

        She added: ‘He ended up with one of his colleagues’ brains all over his uniform and he had to put him in a body bag and drag him out of the trenches.’

        Ms Gregg said of her son: ‘He used to bounce through the door with a big grin on his face. When he came back, there was a sadness about him. He was broken.”

    Well, the media seem to…it’s all they’re bloody talking about.

    Meanwhile, London’s runt mayor Khan is celebrating Ramadamadingdong all over the capital city, with flashing lights all through the west end and Nelson’s Column glowing like the centre of Mecca.

    We’ve had months of belligerent Muzzies throwing their weight around on the streets of London, intimidating Jews and being pacified by our neutered and useless police. Calls for genocide, flagrant disrespect for our war memorials and monuments and swaggering aggression. And yet…hardly any arrests…but one geezer puts up a few posters and gets two years in nick and another takes his daughter to a football match and our heroes in blue are immediately on it.

    What we saw last night isn’t merely a religious celebration.

    All this celebrating the RNLI and it’s 200 years of life saving betrays one big problem.The crews of these rescue boats are all white.As Jon Snow would say “I’ve never seen so many white people”.
    Every right thinking person must demand that all RNLI boats should have ethnically mixed crews , at least one disabled crew member and LBQT etc representation.
    If this is not possible they should NOT be launched, I have no doubt that anybody , adrift , near death would not want to be rescued be any other sort of crew.
    The RNLI must also issue an apology for past deficiencies.

      I love this quote from a so-called Tory…

      “A Conservative Party spokesperson said they “regret” the decision taken by Mr Anderson, adding: “Voting for Reform can’t deliver anything apart from a Keir Starmer-led Labour government that would take us back to square one – which means higher taxes, higher energy costs, no action on Channel crossings, and uncontrolled immigration.”!

    I don’t understand why the RF are not being truthful about Kate’s medical condition. I mean, we already know she’s had something serious so telling the whole truth is not going to be a gross invasion of her privacy. In fact, Kate would probably garner universal sympathy however bad her condition is, and the RF would inspire some trust if they were more forthcoming.

    The peculiar position of the Royals demands that their private lives are to a great extent public property.

      In these days of social media it is unbearable for many people to just wait for her to recover. I agree that it doesn’t matter who she is, her health details are private and must remain so. There are many reasons why she might not want it to be public knowledge- an issue with reproductive system, or the colon (colostomy bag?). Some folks are much more embarrassed than others about such things.
