I’m finding it increasingly difficult to take an interest in what the bbc feel passes for news at the moment.
Anyhow, good evening!
I would like to ask Kevin Peachey the BBC financial
correspondent on the internet. Why EVERY image
on the main BBC internet page features a black
Getty’s advertising model on cost of living subjects.
Does the diversity department of the BBC insist on this?
Does Getty’s employ any indigenous British models for
this subject. With 5% of the population being black.
Are they the only ones suffering from the cost of living
crisis? Or is it that the BBC’S woke agenda is to push
whities face into the ground!
“Getty’s Watch” And on the main page today again 20/3.
Is Labour trusted on the economy?
Listen to Chris Mason’s interview with Rachel Reeves
By whom? Given they have zero track record and a litany of wibble to credulous media on offer.
Barry Gardiner has £500,000 to invest from a chinese spy friend – if we all take bribes we can end poverty.
Given that every Labour government has ended up in economic turmoil, why should they be trusted?
Having ventured into what is purportedly the “second most visited UK city” – Bath, yesterday – I was struck by the quantity and quality of street sleepers begging…
In some cases it might well be lifestyle choices of the ill or inadequates – but that doesn’t I feel explain what I saw. The smug twerps in our MSM and public sector should have their debit cards removed and be handed tatty old sleeping bags for say a month to live the dream….
Wishi + Smarmer could use a dose too.
The emerging chaos + pathos is being foisted on everyone.
Tomo
Bit of a double-edged sword here.
Genuine British homeless rough sleepers deserve our sympathy and consideration.
But in a certain town near me which is tourist central, many beggars have homes in the suburbs. They commute in each day and sit in carefully chosen prime locations begging. It’s not a bad living if you can make £30 k.
There’s undoubtedly an element of what you describe. Remember the Cornish beggar who drove a BMW to the outskirts of St. Ives and changed into his work clothes? He was purportedly making more than £30k…
Bath has had a low level of tourist beggars since the late 1980s. They never congregated outside Morrisons and set up camp in defunct shop doorways.
Funny how the British Councils and Government ignore the ‘life-style choice’ of our own people, but bend over backwards to hand out everything to illegal immigrants who admit they come here for a ‘life-style choice’!
By the GE, the money tree will undoubtedly be bare of fruit, leaves, lower branches and most of its woodwork, so Rachel Reeves had better rush off and get some sort of qualification for her new ‘job’ in No 11!
I’d think that an interview with a lightweight-leftie Beeboid like Chris Mason (see earlier), is another of her mistakes, but don’t tell the lad as he doesn’t understand it all either!
The beggars in Cranebridge are chauffeured in by mercedes. The big Issue also helps them to stay as they are given self-employed status.
The Roma beegishoo seller at a supermarket near me is always yapping to someone on a mobile the size of a dinner plate.
Wish I had the time and money to do that, but there again, I’m not an illegal immigrant…
Probably on the phone to her builder in Romania.
And the right to benefits…. Including housing.
Steve Allen, who was kicked out of LBC, presumably to let more idiots like Lammy do rubbishy stuff, used to tell the stories of the people carriers dropping off the beggars in Twickenham, then picking them up each evening!
Never was his ‘tated’ so ‘agit’…
On UK news — “Deliveroo rider bites off Aldershot customer’s thumb”
After an altercation over a food delivery “Mr Jenkinson’s thumb was severed just above the knuckle. ‘The force with which she must have been biting, she’d clean taken it off,’ he said, adding it was as if he had ‘gone through a chainsaw’”.
All part and parcel of living in Aldershot? The BBC want us to know: “Rocha was in the UK legally and had the right to work here.” Thank goodness she wasn’t a violent foreigner smuggled in by boat, but instead was a violent foreigner with some papers from the Home Office.
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-68558464
BBC just showing her head, the full image :
” Brazilian born Rocha, who has citizenship in the UK until 2028 ”
“A Deliveroo rider bit off a customer’s thumb during a blazing row after she delivered his £57 Pizza Express order to the wrong address. ‘
Daily mail
Must have been a bloody great moped then…
Dignity and respect please.
Not sure I’d pay her for a BJ
What a bloody credit to our country.
Brazilian born, probably arrived in the UK with a forged Portuguese identity card.
Lots did!!
Surely citizenship is permanent??
It’s probably when her work permit expires. But we’ll never be able to get rid of her.
Nope. As several million lucky returnees will get to discover after the revolution 🙂
GBNews brought up the subject of Deliveroo/whatever transferable accounts some weeks ago.
Not only are most of these nutter scooterists likely uninsured, I bet many are driving on someone else’s provisional licence. God help you if you have an accident with one.
A propos delivery driver accidents, I was on the top deck of a bus in Surbiton a year or so ago and was surprised on hearing a noise and looking down to see a scooter delivery driver sliding along the opposite carriageway, still holding his mobile phone. The bus had been passing a parked car before pulling into a stop and the scooterist tried to pass it at speed. When he realised the bus had been obscuring a traffic island he dropped the scooter rather than drive straight into oncoming traffic. He was in a bad way, couldn’t move his legs at all. Dumb passers by ignored pleas not to move him.
The ambulance arrived…luckily it wasn’t electric.
Deliver Roo – making it look like everyone is employed in the UK – all on one account! HA HA H AH HA
Another everyday scene in Lagos-on-Thames.
The Islamic Broadcasting Corporation think we should feel more sorry for Muslims than we do.
So, on the BBC1 10 pm news the main feature is the civil war in Sudan, the ‘forgotten war’ according to the BBC.
Name-checked are Mohammed, Abdallah, and Jamal, who have all dies and are buried in the former town square.
To be fair, it all looks pretty awful, but I didn’t notice an equivalent priority for the recent abduction of Christian women and children by Boko Haram in northern Nigeria. But then again, are any of us surprised?
For some weird reason, BBC Londonistan have been featuring potholes today. Cue a cyclist who was severely injured when he came off his bike. A pro-cycling advocate was filmed saying that potholes are an inconvenience to motorists but dangerous to cyclists.
Yes, even with this story, the BBC focus is on the eco-loon cyclists. The fact that motorists outnumber cyclists at any given time on the road by around 100 to 1 and it’s how we all actually get around outside the Broadcasting House insular bubble is clearly of no importance to the green-obsessed BBC.
I have never been to Mogadishu, but I bet its roads are better than the main arterial road that runs from Henley’s corner on the North Circular to Barnet. If the BBC wanted to do something useful, they could do an investigation on Barnet Council and its inability to mend roads.
Even the Chennai to Madurai main road in India gives most UK roads a good run for their money in terms of road surface and maintenance. We are absolutely pathetic.
The green eco-zealots have totally taken over the civil service, local councils, much of the government. They don’t want to spend ANY money on roads as it might ‘encourage car use’. I once saw that in writing from the council traffic department manager.
We should copy these guys…
Great for warming the planet —meanwhile let’s close our roads ….. I reckon if there is still a Britain in – say – 50 years – they’ll look back at ‘now ‘ and say ‘what the hell were they thinking ?’ On just about every subject …..
Britain – A country on the road to self destruction
Don’t worry Fed, there won’t be.
UK to invade China to steal the roads and import them cheaply!

Baroness Chakrabati has just described on @BBCr4today the Conservative party as being far right populist.
These people are insane.
Her assertion of course was unchallenged.
Chakrabati – “The Labour Party is not overrun by antisemitism, Islamophobia or other forms of racism. Further, it is
the party that initiated every single United Kingdom race equality law”

. . . . . . .
Mr Corbyn is suspended from being a Labour MP and sits as an independent following a row over antisemitism. The former Labour leader called it a “shameful attack on party democracy”.28 Mar 2023
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-65102128
………as, let us not forget, is leading mathematician Dianne Abbott, also suspended for allegations of anti-Semitism.
Something the BBC managed not to mention during their prolonged recent furore over alleged hurty words in private meetings five years ago.
Labour suspended Ms Abbott, who now sits as an independent MP, over alleged antisemitic comments. Ms Abbott withdrew her remarks and apologised “for any anguish caused”.3 days ago
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-68591663
She was suspended by Labour in April 2023 having written in the Observer newspaper that Irish, Jewish and Traveller people “undoubtedly experience prejudice”, which she said is “similar to racism”.
“But they are not all their lives subject to racism,” she added.
I see from Twitter that most media thought today’s 2 big apologies not newsworthy
.. the stories getting the big Likes on Twitter were from GBnews
#1 The BBC apologising for labelling Reform as Far Right
#2 Kings Cross Station apologising for using it’s huge message board for Ramadan Hadith messages, when it’s clear that is unfair and disproportionate, as it has no intention of putting up Easter or Lent messages the same way
Ramma what?
Michael Yon and Shawn Ryan
Another step in the shameful takeover of our country by Islamofascism.
Kings Cross Station displays a daily Hadith (sayings of a medieval caravan robber, torturer and murderer).
I wonder if they’ll get around to the ones about killing Infidels and Jews?
Some comments:
– Imagine going from ruling the world to getting ruled by the 3rd world in such a short time.
– London is dead, Its not an English city anymore, Its something else entirely. They won’t stop until they do the same in every other English city.
– If you abandon your faith, tradition and culture, be prepared for someone to impose theirs on you…
– I am black, and even I wouldn’t go to the UK. It looks like fucking Baghdad now.
So it’s OK to sin as long as you pretend to be sorry for it after.
Which would be in the police station just before you are released with just a warning after doing something racist which would have put a white person in jail.
I wonder how many Muslim countries show Christian ‘lessons’ like that in public. Whoever did it would by lynched by a mob. But we don’t talk about that because it’s racist.
In Mecca they are celebrating Easter? NO? Why not?
Because the muslims are in charge in both places now.
Sometimes (but not often) The Guardian presents the truth far more honestly than the BBC. I think it must be because their staff ‘choose the Guardian’ as opposed to ‘The BBC choose their staff’ and hence they have more of a mix.
Here’s the BBC Version:
Ex-US generals who oversaw Afghan exit describe chaos and challenges of withdrawal
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68612367
‘Republican lawmakers held President Joe Biden responsible for the disastrous exit, while Democrats blamed the Trump administration’s deal with the Taliban.
But the two generals seemed unwilling to back either party’s argument.’
Here’s the Guardians version:
Biden administration failures drove the fall of Kabul, say top former US generals
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/mar/19/biden-administration-fall-of-kabul
Amazing how the BBC could draw such a different conclusion which also happens to be exactly in line with their agenda to protect Biden at all costs.
Another whopping misleading agenda-based lie from the BBC.
Same as COVID starting in a Chinese lab : the Left will claim black is white just to say the opposite of whatever Trump says because they are driven by hatred.
It’s crystal clear proof that the Left do not care about ‘truth’ whatsoever. For them, it’s whatever their agenda dictates it needs to be. They are the ultimate hypocrites : they will pretend to be anything at all if it suits their agenda. Hence all the virtue signalling for BAME etc.
They always remind me of Robert Duvall in ‘Apocalypse now’ where he is giving water to an injured enemy soldier because nobody else will. But the second he learns ‘Lance the surfer’ is there, he just drops him into the mud and walks off having instantly forgotten him because it was all just an act.
They are ethically barren activist scum who don’t actually care about anything or anyone except themselves and what THEY think.
Oh hell – inflation has fallen ( yeah really ?) but the price of my heroin fix is going up – and even worse they are banning my man made drugs – but at least I’ve got me vapes and fags …
No wonder there’s a survey saying kids are miserable / ‘mentally challenged / special needs . Free drugs for all – NHS to deal …..
Another week free of ‘Today ‘ …
“inflation has fallen” – so why have train prices gone up rather than down? HA HA HA HA HA! It’s all just words!
So on the front cover of the Telegraph is a photo of a boy who died while playing sport at Eton.
What the bBC would never report would be if he had the covid vaccine.
In what must be a ‘coincidence’ the same happened to the son of somebody we know.
Our beloved anychess still has not heard about myocarditis according to the search box on their main website. Bash those pots and pans.
https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/eton-pupil-schoolboy-dies-football-sports-field-b1146276.html
A couple we know moved into a retirement flat last year. They told us they were getting ahead of the game as didn’t want to leave it until it was too late. We had a long chat with them at a concert.
Three weeks later he dropped dead at 72. He had been fit and healthy with no underlying conditions.

I wonder how tricky it is going to be for governments to get populations injected next time – as various inquiries across the world find patterns of premature / unexplained deaths – plus long term effects ?
Will they just distract people – or ignore it ?
I guess the next pandemic will be a real frightener – but I wonder if it will be real ? Bearing in mind it is going to take ages for state finances to be re built ( if ever ) the cost of furlough and fraud and lockdowns may well break economies completely …
But maybe the Chinese / Russians / Americans – won’t hit us with a bug for a few years yet …
I wonder how many kids who haven’t gone to Eton have died suddenly playing sports …?
“Will they just distract people – or ignore it ?”
I won’t get fooled again.

The @BBC’s take on good news! They simply cannot do good news until Labour are in power can they?
Comment:
It’s not even true. Absolute prices have been falling since a peak in December and are now lower than at any time since April 2023

Jacob Graham the Green Party terrorist
: Some leftists often claim there are no leftwing terrorists
Reporting restrictions have been lifted after the trial of the Liverpool guy self describing as “A left-wing anarchist”
https://news.sky.com/story/jacob-graham-left-wing-anarchist-jailed-for-13-years-over-terror-offences-after-declaring-he-wanted-to-kill-at-least-50-people-13097584
IMHO the guy is a mental case who wouldn’t have got to kill he plotted to, even though he had filmed his bomb making experiments
But key thing is there are more of them out there unless they are all undercover police.
… “On another platform called Telegram, he exchanged messages with others who shared his hatred of government in groups called Earth Militia, Total Earth Liberation and Neo Luddite Action
Graham was the administrator for a number of chatrooms on the encrypted Telegram app, including one called Total Earth Liberation Group, with 150 members, into which he shared his bomb-making manual.
Graham told police he was “left-wing” but “more like an anarchist”, adding: “I don’t like the idea of a central control and I don’t really like the monarchy.”
His ideal government would be the size of “Merseyside or Liverpool”,
he said, adding he supported the Green Party and was an “environmentalist” who did not like the way “corporations act and how they damage the Earth”.
A third of parcels that came into the US last year under a shipping loophole known as the de minimis threshold were from Temu and competitor Shein, according to a report from US Congress.
Many countries – including the UK and USA have a de minimis threshold, designed to help citizens to import goods.
So as Temu’s goods are shipped directly from the factory floors, cutting out the middlemen, they become essentially duty-free.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-68563339
“shipping loophole known as the de minimis threshold” = “ship from factory” = “essentially duty-free.”
China wins the economic war without one shot fired!
In between the IBC banging on about their latest Muslim cause, civil war in Sudan, they report that inflation is down to 3.4%. This is unequivocally good news.
But what is the betting the BBC will present it in a ‘yes but’ style.? With voxpop interviews with old biddies (some may even be white) saying ‘everything is still going up, I can’t afford the bills, prices are terrible, I have to snuggle under a blanket with the heating off’ etc etc.
When there is good news, the BBC just have to work a little harder to emphasise the doom and gloom.
See you later.
Well, that didn’t take long, did it?
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-68597055
Right on cue. Top rated comments on Have Your Say include
‘Try telling someone they’re better off under the Tories when they can plainly see the holes in their pockets getting bigger. So big in fact they can see the holes in the toes of their shoes’.
‘My food shop, car insurance, home insurance, council tax, water rates, car tax, petrol at the pump are ALL skyrocketing & are simply becoming unaffordable’.
‘”Overall prices were still higher than they were a year or two years ago”
I’ll say… in some cases nearly 100% higher…’
‘My Council Tax is going up 12% this year – partly blamed on inflation. Now it’s coming down will they reduce it? I think not.’
Perhaps the latter poster might decide to vote accordingly.
Though in many of those areas the population, on benefits or in council houses won’t be affected, so they can keep voting for profligate spending they don’t have to pay for.
Today larging it on story that Home Office has spent more on new accommodation for illegal migrants than it would have spent on hotels.
Enter Mark Eastwood the BBC’s propagandist-in-chief for the migration lobby…he having sat on the sofa one morning telling us there was no way to stop immigration and we’d just have to lump it and like it…he who went to an EU conference on immigration, not to report but to participate, to advise. He’s always been an ardent advocate for open borders in essence.
This morning you couldn’t get a more excited and gleeful Mark Eastwood as he laughed his way through the report…Amol Rajan even noticed as he noted that Eastwood had reported this with ‘relish’.
Why would a BBC reporter ‘relish’ a negative story about government handling of immigration?…I should say a supposedly negative story because of course setting up a new system takes money for the initial costs…long term, and sadly it will be long term, the costs will diminish….except that more and more migrants will arrive and we will have to find accomodation for them….so more set up costs….I’m sure Eastwood has a spare bedroom or two in his licence fee funded mansion…let’s force people like him to take in a lodger or two from Afghanistan or Somalia (and not some highly educated university student ala Lineker’s PR stunt)…bet he’ll change his mind and tone pretty quick.
Turn your eyes to New York and even the Mayor admits that illegal migration is going to bankrupt and destroy his city.
The BBC gas-lights us and tries to spin a take where migration is wonderful and beneficial with no down-sides….it’s a complete lie…there are no upsides to mass, uncontrolled migration.
As our man here points out even building your way out is difficult if not impossible…simple things like a collapsing sewer system that would be unable to cope with an increase in population….all those other services, electricity, water, roads, schools, health services not to mention quality of life…all things the BBC doesn’t mention when it glibly advocates millions of people coming to a town near you.
But NY will still vote for Obama Biden …
” The mayor of New York City is made to share Gracie Mansion with three African-American families from Harlem; migrants gather at coastal ports in West Africa and South Asia and swarm into Europe, Australia, and New Zealand; London is taken over by an organization of non-white residents known as the “Non-European Commonwealth Committee”, who force the British queen to have her son marry a Pakistani woman; millions of black Africans from around the continent gather at the Limpopo River and invade South Africa; and only one drunken Soviet soldier stands in the way of hundreds of thousands of Chinese peasants as they overrun Siberia.”

Not really a joke…one day the DEI will come for you…..who you marry is clearly down to looks, money, personality etc….thus you have ‘privilege’ of one kind or another….sooooooo…..they’ll make you marry someone ‘ugly’ or poor or personality deficient or black in order to even things out and make it ‘fairer’….can’t have all the well-off, good looking, even-tempered marrying each other and entrenching that privilege and advantage can we?
One day it’s going to happen.
Indian arranged marriages! Followed by Acid throwing party and Suttee!
It’s already happened to Prince Harry.
Fair trade yet economists remain sceptical edition
…an embarrassing and expensive rebranding (FT) – nope, this doesn’t refer to the Tories ditching their patriotic, socially conservative Red Wall voters and leaving them in the lurch, in exchange for infringing on the Liberal Democrat party’s yellow-tinged preserve, by chasing votes from the left-liberal bleeding heart south – this is instead: Tesco loses logo fight… The supermarket has lost an appeal against a ruling that its Clubcard logo infringed Lidl’s trademark (FT)
If only government managerial mistakes and overspends had some real life consequence as in the private sector: UK’s asylum propsals ‘cost more than hotels’ Sunak’s plans to save public money in tatters after Whitehall watchdog finds they cost £46m more (Guardian); Asylum cost overshoot… the conversion of former military bases and a barge to accommodate asylum seekers has cost £46mn more than hotels (FT) – this from: Prime Minister Rishi Sunak outlines vision to ensure every young person has the maths skills they need to succeed.(Gov.UK)
PE teachers retraining in maths to fill school gaps (BBC)
I’m looking forward to ex-PM Rishi making a guest appearance on the TV quiz show Countdown prior to his sodding off to the States to exercise his now slightly dog-eared Green Card.
Tories narrowly back Sunak to lead party… an opinion poll reveals (Telegraph) – are there really still some potential Tory voters somewhere out there? A survey presumably carried out within the confines of a rather small telephone kiosk. (Telephone kiosk – there’s one for the teenagers)
And as for the only realistic alternative on offer under our two party Blarite orthodoxy: Reeves recalls Brown’s fiscal rule with pledge to borrow only for investment… Economists remain sceptical (FT)
We’re in the era of the intractable problem – observes the globalist FT’s Janan Ganesh adding to the general air of pessimism abroad – while the pink paper is apparently sticking to its corporate left-liberal woke guns: Orwell would recognise anti-ESG doublethink… How to do climate policy in the age of the green backlash. Too many activists fret about a lack of ‘political will’… How many people do you think would be willing to give away 1 per cent of their household income every month to fight global warming? Here’s a clue: it’s not 20 per cent or 40 per cent of the global population. It’s 69 per cent according to a striking study by four European economists that came out last week. (Pilita Clark, FT)
A dubious conclusion to a questionable study if ever I heard one. Our Pilita does make this striking remark: People are less likely to act for the common good if they think everyone else is free-riding. (FT)
I’m getting distinct ‘nudge unit’ type vibes here – convince the population of plebs that everyone loves green policies and green taxes and the population will be nudged toward loving green policies and green taxes. Our George Orwell might have termed this sort of thinking as… triple-think…?
And there was me naively drawing a distiction between our managerial elite in public and private sectors: Diageo names civil service boss as next chairman… Sprits maker Diageo has appointed Sir John Manzoni… The Gordon’s, Smirnoff and Guinness maker said Manzoni was appointed for “his outstanding track record of leadership”… In 2014 Manzoni was appointed as the civil service’s first ever chief executive (Evening Standard)
Sometimes these segueways write themselves…
ULTIMATE INSULT! ‘Disgraceful’ HMRC shuts tax helplines for summer break (Daily Express)
Five-day work from home deals for pampered mandarins as civil servants make mockery of calls to return to the office: Taxpayer-funded quango staff get 10,000 days WFB (Working From the Beach) (Daily Mail)
Civil servants prefer to work in the office just two days a week (Telegraph)
Gov spends £590k to gauge staff opinions on WFH & office returns …with only 3% of them wanting to return to the office after the pandemic. (a welcome debut hereabouts for HR Grapevine. However that trademark Mr AsI little editorial correction is in order: 3% of them wanting to return to the office after the
pandemicLockdown – Lockdown was of course a policy choice – not an inevitability in either intensity or duration)Where were we…? Ah yes the revolving door between public and private sectors…
A flurry of recent news stories has raised controversy about ex-ministers and senior civil servants passing through ‘the revolving door’- moving from government service into well-remunerated positions in the private sector. But at least such moves are overseen by the Advisory Committee on Business Appointments whose requirements seem to be taken seriously even though they are not binding. (Gov.UK in rather complacent mood, I think you’ll agree)
Sliding Doors was a 1998 romantic comedy-drama film written and directed by Peter Howitt and starring Gwyneth Paltrow (Thank you Wiki)
From the old boys club to the: All boy’s club: Garrick list is revealed… fuelling fresh criticism of its men-only membership policy – snarks the Evening Standard in a mood of feminist high dudgeon; Roll-call of male-only organisation includes many of the legal profession’s most power people – tut-tuts a disapproving Guardian aiming no doubt to name and shame the legal profession into their woke orthodxy
Deal, no deal?
Not that one realistically aspires to the salmon and cucumber striped tie of membership, a la Stephen Fry, Michael Gove, Brian Cox, Mark Knopfler, among many such luminaries – but how about this for a fair trade ladies… you stop trying to batter down the doors to one our few surviving men-only spaces and in return we’ll support you feminists to protect your women-only safe spaces from those predatory weirdo trannies we hear so much about these days?
“Loose Woman” – needs 50% men or trans women?

And I recall Blair’s ‘Babes’ (oxymoron there!), (including Mr Yvette Cooper-Bollox) simpering whilst chatting to, not responding to forensic questioning of, Al Beeb’s churnalists and telling us, ie lying to us, that Gument debt was being repaid. Problem was it was being redrawn at a greater extent than repayment.
But we didn’t have Our Marianna of the Rack back then, did we?

As each day passes I’ve come to a stronger and stronger conclusion that devolution and Mayorships have been a complete disaster. Devolution has driven divisiveness, have you ever seen more open hate for Britain from the Scottish and Welsh? There is also an implicit inequity in there being Welsh and Scottish MP’s in the British Parliament when they have their own Parliaments.
The Scottish and Welsh populations have more money given to them per head than English people, money that’s spent on woke nonsense, vanity projects and corruption. Much the same can be said regarding the various Metropolitan administrations particularly the London one. We are living in an era of money being sucked into Scotland, Wales and the Cities at the cost of rural communities.
Time to scrap the lot.

The SNP ferry fiasco has become even more of a disaster

In retrospect, the computerised boat in the movie Titanic looked more believable than the one Nicola Sturgeon stood in front of the day she ‘launched’ the Glen Sannox ferry, almost six years ago. With its famously painted on windows and oddly delicate looking bulbous bow – one of many parts subsequently replaced as it was found not to be fit for purpose – we can look back now and wonder who they were trying to kid with their fakery.
I believe it’s a Mayorality and it was an initiative by the Far Left Socialist Workers Party affiliate David Cameron in order to hand control of the Police and other functions to the Labour party in every major city.
Something else he did which is not often talked about was to block a monopolies and mergers investigation into the Mirror groups acquisition of regional newspapers meaning that now almost every local newspaper is Labour supporting instead of independant.

Yes…absolute disaster….but probably intended in order to divide and rule…rule by the EU. This was a Labour project as was the drive to break up England into regions by Prescott…no nation just regions run from the EU.
‘Meddling Prescott will wipe England off the map’
‘John Prescott’s sinister plan to cut England up into invented regions is a grave danger to what is left of our freedom.
Prescott plays cleverly on his resemblance to the comedian Les Dawson, but there is really nothing funny at all about this hardline, anti-British militant, or about his scheme.
These regions are actually part of the European Union’s long-term project to wipe England off the face of the Earth.
For many years, the European Parliament published a map of the EU which showed artificial Balkan statelets but did not acknowledge the existence of the oldest sovereign nation in Europe. ‘

Not something the BBC would like you to know about the EU….it’s not an Empire looking to tighten its grip and crush that evil ‘national identity’….just a happy union of like-minded countries that allow your kids to travel unhindered throughout the EU…bliss!
From that Mail article:
“If he does, these new, remote bodies (Wales and Scotland) will be encouraged to deal direct with Brussels and bypass what remains of the Government in London, which will gradually be drained of all power and authority.”
Exactly what was and still is happening.
It’s certainly time to dump Wales and Scotland and let them do whatever they want, but without English money.

Famine looms in Sudan as civil war survivors tell of killings and rapes
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-68606201
A truly horrific and barbaric place to be. It’s hard to believe just what human beings can do to each other. One might expect the compassionate Leftists and extremist misandrist feminists to be absolutely up in arms about what is going on. Where is the UN to stop it ?.
But it’s almost complete silence from the BBC. This revelation comes as a shock considering how bad it is and how much the BBC are sucking empathy articles out of those in Gaza who at least did something to deserve it.
Why could that be ?. Perhaps it’s because Sudan is 90% Muslim and there are no white people to blame.
Not to worry : they will start bleating tragic stories from the refugee women (who will speak perfect English and know exactly the right words to use to match any current agenda) when they arrive on boats. They won’t tell us about the majority who are the fighting age males bringing that same culture to our streets.

Day 2: Move into accommodation provided courtesy of the US tax payer.

Day 4: Mini-buses arrive at accommodation to collect the workers and take them to factories where they’ll be working for sub-contractors who make parts for use in aeroplanes.

I just watched on Guido, Starmer telling Richi to ‘go home’. Isn’t that a racist comment and shouldn’t there be mass calls by the MSM and the BBC for Starmer’s resignation.

Still waiting for abbot to make some statement ….

The very tabloid BBC lunchtime programme had a very curious interview .
Ms Montague was talking to one of those Milipede boys, the one who runs International rescue ( from New York , not Tracey Island, who knew) anyway it would seem that neither International Rescue or the BBC have even so much as a schoolboy atlas. All their chatting was about getting supplies into Gaza and how the Israelis are liars and much,much outrage as nothing could get in through the border into Gaza.
But…I shouted at the radio, again if only these two knew ,there is a border with Egypt, which must be open , surely…or maybe not.
Some people, who must be some of those “far-right liars, have even suggested that Egypt is re-inforcing its “border wall”.
What a funny world.
If one complaint can get the bell ringing stopped in a village where it’s been happily ringing for 150 years why don’t the villagers get someone to complain that the bells are NOT ringing and get them back to how it was.
They could get two people to complain which by their logic would be enough.
It actually sounds like the whole village want the bells back so how can one person overrule everyone else. Very strange kind of democracy.
*I know there’s been a sort of compromise but we hear so much of this type of barmy carry on.
I know this is not about the BBC. But in a way it is. Because
the now Labour run council in London’s largest
populated borough Barnet with a population of well over
400,000 where I live . Has become as woke as the BBC.
We are going to lose our hard working , brave local MP
Theresa Villiers. I say brave because she was Northern Ireland
secretary . And her life was threatened every day. She will
lose her seat because of the now demographic make up
of the borough.
And the Labour council has now sent us post about
“Your Council Tax” and from Barnet Electoral services
” Don lose your vote” You’ve guessed it, In the imaging white
folk in the borough DONT exist ! ” Money Worries” a black family. “Register for voting” a black couple. ” You now need
photo ID to vote at
a polling station” A black man, a black Muslim women.
. And a women and man with half brown and white faces.
You see its ok to show a black man and women. Bit not
one of Caucasian features. Ok may this is about BBC
imaging , television advertising etc as well. WOKENESS
GONE MAD !.
‘Among the intelligentsia, colour feeling only occurs in the transposed form, that is, as a belief in the innate superiority of the coloured races. This is now increasingly common among English intellectuals, probably resulting more often from masochism and sexual frustration than from contact with the Oriental and Negro nationalist movements. Even among those who do not feel strongly on the colour question, snobbery and imitation have a powerful influence. Almost any English intellectual would be scandalized by the claim that the white races are superior to the coloured, whereas the opposite claim would seem to him unexceptionable even if he disagreed with it. …attachment to the coloured races is usually mixed up with the belief that their sex lives are superior, and there is a large underground mythology about the sexual prowess of Negroes.’

No sympathy for Villiers, she and her Marxist parties have been in power for 14 years and she was behind the demographic changes, so she did it to herself no one else did this to her.

You can’t complain about the BBC’s bias on trans issues because that is just ‘whipping up outrage’….but you can complain about the BBC’s bias on trans issues…if you’re coming from the right angle…ie pro-trans…and then your complaint will be fast-tracked by the ECU and a decision made in no time at all…unlike so many other complaints that may still be awaiting a decision after 12 months.
Tim Davie blowing smoke up our backsides and not taking any resposibiity at all…
‘Criticism of the BBC’s transgender coverage has been exaggerated and is damaging public debate over the issue, the broadcaster’s boss has said.
Tim Davie, BBC director general, accused people of “whipping up” outrage as he defended the corporation’s stance on the topic.Criticism of the BBC’s transgender coverage has been exaggerated and is damaging public debate over the issue, the broadcaster’s boss has said.’
Laughable that he claims criticism is ‘damaging public debate’….no….the BBC’s one-sided pro-trans approach damages debate, stifles and strangles it….there is no real debate at the BBC….as with so many other subjects the ‘science is fixed’….or rather the debate is fixed.
These MP’s committees are always a waste of time….mostly showboating MPs who let people like Davie weasel their way out of things and then of course nothing happens and it’s all forgotten.
