        The BBC swamp must the first to be drained Lefty because their power to dictate the news and keep it current gives the credibility to all the smaller Lefty groups who then push it beyond the limits.

        As we have seen many times now. And always against the BBC’s political enemies on the Right.

          Anyone who isn’t a leftie seems to be lumped with the wrong label, ‘The Right’.

          The majority of British citizens, who are mostly indigenous white people, are never swayed by the hand-wringing, sleeve-heart-wearing beards of left-wingers, they see themselves as ‘Normal’, and work their way through life without getting involved in the fantasies and quirks of left-wingers who think they know it all, but are sadly deluded.

          Once the misled lefties become rich from their publicly-funded wages and pensions, they think they’re far too good for Normal people, and know what’s best. The BBC is already crowded with this type if individual, and encourages the richer ones to become the ‘elite’, join quangos, charities, etc., and prolong the ‘unicorn-in-a-money-tree’ left wing delusions, but from a more haughty position on the air-waves.

          There’ll always be the peripheral lefties, like ‘minor slebs’, racial ‘victims’, gobby fat black people etc., but still the core of British people are not left-wing, they are Normal!

          The BBC have given up with the biggest audience they could have ever had. Soon, it will be the biggest audience they never had.

      Let us hope that the BBC as well as other media outlets inc the USA will now leave the Princess of Wales alone and in peace. I do wish that the media/Yahoo et al will address the Princess of Wales as such and not use a name that does not equate to her-ie ‘Kate’ her Christine name is Catherine with a ‘C’.
      The comments on her Royal Highness hitherto were quite disgraceful and shame on those who allowed themselves to be so foul mouthed and completely disrespectful.

          The princess … saga ? Not sure if the right word – illustrates the danger and weakness of the internet and social media – in my view … I only comment here . I’m not on face thing or anything else – and never will be . I feel I don’t need to live on upticks or followers or the like – to me it’s a sign of character weakness .
          It’s a bit like the ‘influencer ‘ phenomenon – Which like much else seems to be a ‘generational ‘ issue – the world of kidults and children – in their sad online world – which in extreme drives children to their End ….

          I reckon in times to come – as freedom of unapproved speech is eroded even more than now – yapping on social media about celebrity will become even more important to those sad unthinking yappers ….

    The insane BBC wimmins equality project continues unabated tomorrow with coverage of the Women’s 6 nations rugby. Starting with France v Ireland at 2.15 pm. A match of great interests to literally dozens of people.

    Meanwhile, Saracens are playing Harlequins at Tottenham FC stadium ( capacity 62,000) and it’s being shown live on ITV. That would be the men’s teams btw.

    I wonder which match will get the most supporters and viewers? And I wonder which match coverage is self-financed?

      The real reason the BBC broadcast so much wimmins sport is because its cheap not because they have some woke intent.

      As for finance when it costs so little it’s probably more financially sensible to broadcast cheap sport and then insist audiences watch it on pain of ‘hate’ than it is to pay for the real deal.

    The eco zealots , liberal/ lefties , BBC and other retards want Britain to be the leader , give an example to the rest of the world , about the impoverishing policies needed to tackle climate change and get to net zero .

    Trouble is , we ain’t the world leader . We’re too small now . We’re taking part in a race that no other country enters .

    But there is a way to be world leader in that sort of thing and take most of the world with us – by having the British Empire back , where we rule a quarter of the globe and set the rules .

    So there we are . For the BBC and liberal left to get their way they must become imperialists . And support the monarchy .

    Moscow concert hall attack
    “As search for attackers continues, big questions about security”
    Posted at 22:49

    Didn’t take slimy Steve Rosenberg long to start blaming the victim, and where did USA recently warn about a similar scenario?

    “Questions are being raised. Among them: How is it possible that armed men were able to get into a prominent concert venue, with thousands of people attending a concert, and carry out such a bloody attack – particularly since US authorities had recently warned about a similar scenario?”

    At least 60 killed in Moscow concert hall attack, Russia says
    https://www.bbc.com/news/live/world-68642036?src_origin=BBCS_BBC

    So I’ve been trying to find out about this attack. On my phone this morning, I saw an article in which Zelensky said Russia did it themselves. Now I can’t find that one at all. Almost like someone has the power to make reports disappear.

    Anyway – it seems it was ISIS savages murdering people at close range again. As expected, the BBC report doesn’t talk about them much and do their trick of concentrating on events AFTER the attack like emergency services etc. It’s their standard way to avoid telling us that Muslims did it.

    But when they DO tell us about why it happened, it seems it’s Russias own fault for all the atrocities they committed against Muslims, inferring they deserved it. Of course the accusations of these atrocities the BBC use are from previous statements from the terrorists themselves. So about as reliable as something from Zelensky or Hamas – but as the BBC have no problem at all presenting what they say as fact, no surprise there either.

    However it seems that when the Muslim terrorists claimed responsibility, they didn’t say it was for the said atrocities, they said is was ‘an attack targeting Christians’.

    An extremely important fact which the BBC seem to see fit not to tell us – and in fact makes the BBC inferred reason a complete lie. They changed it from ‘just to murder Christians’ to ‘revenge for white mans atrocities’ all on their own.

    Dirty lying racist scum.

    Unbelievably, the first thing the BBC has to say in their report on the Moscow attack is the headline: “Crocus City Hall – the venue that hosted Trump’s Miss Universe”.

    Geddit? Orange man bad, again – a knuckle-dragging Neanderthal who puts on sexist shows.
    Even more unbelievably, the next thing the BBC sees fit to remind us of is the now utterly discredited RussiaGate lie, concocted by Hillary Clinton and her team.

    Neither of which have anything to do with the attack, and some would say are just an opportunity for cheap shots at Trump in election year, and possibly also attempts at distraction from the BBC’s muslim friends’ culpability in the attack.

    I almost laughed out loud at how pathetic this article from the 60-man ‘BBC Verify’ team is.

    Here we have the usual young BBC female BAME clone describing what they found to us acting very seriously but sounding completely like one of those useless people who only repeat what others said and could never have come up with it themselves.

    Quite what they think they are adding to the whole thing is beyond me. All they are doing is repeating what everybody already knows. There is no ‘fake news’ to expose : not a single person is in any doubt.

    She says ‘One video we verified is when people start leaving the hall ..’. Thanks for verifying it for me BBC. Has someone suggested it’s fake ?. She doesn’t say how they verified it of course.

    It’s just completely pointless. What annoys me is their arrogance : they are like children trying to say ‘It’s OK now. You can believe it because we said so’.

    That’s an awesome video giving us a small glimpse about what that war is really like. The BBC don’t want us to know the reality of it : they want us all to think it’s hungry children and innocent civilians.

    Our emerald isle judges and the red princess is puffed edition

    We dig deep this morning in search of some of those minor stories on our frontpages

    The Daily Telegraph disappoints – not simply for the reason: Matt is away – a sad state of affairs indeed considering our favourite in-house conservative satirical cartoonist could surely fax it in – despite WFH?

    The Telegraph further dismays us more seriously with its mild and impotent milk toast conservatism. It catalogues defeat after crushing defeat for everything traditional, white and English in the on-going undeclared asymetric cultural guerrilla warfare waged on us by our left-liberal woke institutions: BBC finally admits bias – to the right… Church of England prays for Christianity’s downfall… National Trust cultivates foreign racial groups… Royal Ballet dances around whatever dumb thing… you know how these stories always go. Happily, for our purposes hearabouts, such disheartening reports do at least make up the stuff of several sub-column minor news stories on this broadsheet’s frontpage on a reliably daily basis.

    A case in point

    We know our establishment authorities will willing accept illegal Channel migrants here to our shores as putative asylum seekers under some arcane legal precept of twisted logic that pretends they come from a supposedly unsafe place – ie France.

    Today we learn the clown world woke mind virus contagion – or perhaps, as conspiracists would have it the: Kalergi Plan: concocted a plot to mix white Europeans with other races via immigration …is a debunked far-right, antisemitic, white genocide conspiracy theory (Thank you Wiki – for setting our minds at rest there)

    Moving quickly on…

    This woke wrong-headedness is then a bug, not a feature, of our western liberal elite institutions. A bug to which the legal-minded among us appear particularly suceptible – now we learn it has spread across the Irish Sea: Migrants ‘unsafe’ in UK Irish court rules… because of the risk of deportation to Rwanda (Telegraph)

    Where to even begin to allay the fears of the Irish High Court – begorra!

    The government’s controversial plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda has hit another glitch – after it was revealed that there are no airlines willing to take them (The London Economic)

    Airlines fearing reputational damage are said to be refusing to supply aircraft — and the MoD doesn’t want to be involved either (Times)

    No guarantee Rwanda flight will take off next year, says Chancellor… Jeremy Hunt said the UK Government could not give a ‘precise date’ for when a deportation flight might leave for east Africa (Evening Standard, November 2023)

    Rwanda deportation bill set back again after House of Lords votes (Guardian) – same headline – write in any date that suits.

    Not much to worry about there then me Irish m’luds – here’s the craic – the British Rwanda plan is well and truly banjaxed

    But there’s an old joke about the Irishman asked about his trousers and why he wore both a belt and braces – “To be sure. To be sure”

    The Guardian distains Royal stories – unless they can be distorted so as to confirm a prior anti-monarchist narrative – but there’s a handy Red Princess to puff and promote: Angela Raynor On roots, rough edges and being ready for power

    Cross examination

    BBC diaper babys rarely betray any conservative leanings – it must be something they put in the water over there at Broadcasting House – and so it is withour Beeboid born and bred: Dan Walker – don’t bow to angry men on England… The last thing a football shirt should do is make you angry… People are getting very cross about a cross (‘i’) – it’s the usual casual left-liberal attitude to any and all culture war issue – just so long as they are chalking up their successive victories, then the culture war isn’t really happening. And if conservatives complain then are guilty of acting as the culture warriors.

    I notice that the BBC, on the Radio 4 ‘Today’ programme, just after 07:00 were not at all reticent in describing the attack of the concert hall, in Russia, as ‘a terrorist attack’ – without even knowing the source of the attackers.

    Compare and contrast the pretzel-like contortions the BBC has gotten into when basically defying anyone on their staff to even mention the word ‘terrorist’ when an internetionally-proscribed terrorist organisation, Hamas, carries out a much larger atrocity.

    Not welcome in Arnhem:

    https://gatesofvienna.net/2024/03/no-longer-welcome-in-arnhem/

    Here is a chap called Edwin Wagensveld who has been banned from Arnhem by the mayor who is called Ahmed. The reason for his ban is that he wants to do a bit of koran burning and the police cannot guarantee his safety.

    The police never do guarantee safety. We saw from the Moscow attack the security services take an hour to turn up. The same thing happened in Manchester. If you need protection from a terrorist attack you had better hope for a magnificent Polish chap standing by to help as happened on the Westminster bridge attack. Alternatively Protestants should be able to re-assert their rights to bear arms for their self defence.

    There’s a real humdinger of a blockbuster series hitting our screens this Easter; Renegade Nell. It’s aimed at children, but try not to miss it…

    Set in Georgian Britian, Renegade Nell is a sort of female Dick Turpin, only with superpowers. She’s been described by the actress playing her as “an ethical thief.” This has been made by Disney, so you know where we’re going here. Woke, woke and yet more woke.

    Half the cast seem to be ethnic minorities. There’s Nick Mohammed, who plays Blind Billy, Adrien Lester is The Earl of Poynton…yes, of course he is…Ndongo Faye is a pig farmer, it’s just laughable (perhaps that should have been the Muslim lad)…Jason Forbes, who’s as black as your hat is a court clerk…Ashna Rabheru is Polly Honeycombe…and so it goes on.

    Have they never heard of cultural appropriation?

    Hmm…

    I’m a bit of a royalist (just look at the alternatives – anyone for President Blair?) but not sure we know enough about the Princess of Wales’s ‘preventative chemotherapy’

    This could be anything. Many women with breast cancer will take Letrozole or Tamoxifen for several years. You take a pill in the morning and go about your normal life. No need to stay at home with the kids.

    On the other hand, post surgery chemotherapy could mean a nasty three week cycle of infusions. Such as…. Week 1 – the after effects of infusion, feel lousy. Week 2 – feeling better but immune system shot to pieces. Best to stay at home or away from people with germs Week 3 – it’s better, you can live your life Week 4 – as per week 1. Repeat up to 5 times.

    I wonder where Kate is on this continuum? The need to ‘spend time with the kids’ doesn’t fit either of the above situations. And an oncologist of our acquaintance once said ‘you have cancer but you also have a life’. In other words, don’t stop everything else.

    I hope she is not time-limited. That would be a very good reason to spend time with the kids but be pretty awful for all concerned.

    Whoever is running things for them at the Rwanda end is playing a blinder.

    They are getting fabulous sums of money paid to them for doing just about nothing (and probably will end up doing nothing) and if they ever get anybody sent there they can send, for each fit young migrant we fly there, some unwanted, overweight, troublesome, permanently ill with serious health conditions person here as part of the deal.

    Our negotiators must be unbelievably rubbish.
    We’ve got nothing so far and are unlikely to get any sent there in the future.
    Even if we got some sent there it will only need a mornings worth of new arrivals to fill our allowance and then it ceases to be a deterrent.

      If it’s civil servants doing the negotiating you can bet the priorities are
      1. Make sure the scheme fails
      2. Ensure diversity equality and inclusion boxes are ticked. A black disabled gay negotiator who has never negotiated anything in their lives would be ideal.
      3. Generally ensure negotiations are carried out by people with no experience and no accountability for the outcome.
      4. Ensure the negotiators are moved on to another civil service role to ensure there is no accountability for failure.
      5. A*** cover at all times.

    I see the cowardly, filthy sub-humans from the Middle East are once again showing the World by their murderous spree targeting innocent unarmed, civilian’s in Russia how low some of the “followers of Islam” can stoop, it seems the options for dealing with the disgusting pigs get narrower.

    Countries like Russia must now be considering reaching outside their borders into the heart of the Muslim World, targeting the evil masters in the centres of power who promote these atrocities on the West and dole out retribution on a colossal unimaginable scale.

    It would not surprise me if Russia decided to surge into the heartlands of these countries and take out all the masterminds hiding in the centres of evil using for instance battlefield tactical nuclear weapons which they most certainly possess.

    It doesn’t bear thinking about but is becoming more likely by the day.

    Reading one or two of the more erudite pieces concerning Catherine Middleton’s cancer issues, I detect a certain ‘flag’ about the need for research into how such miniscule cancer molecules can linger and infect elswehere in a human body. They stay behind after surgery to wreak their havoc elswhere, and thus this awful disease restarts in unfortunate people. We all know someone who has been a victim of this fatal process.

    I watch and read about the great strides that medical research has taken to get this far with such awful conditions such as aids, and that other bug, ebola, coming out of Africa, and scientists really do strut their stuff where these old-fashioned diseases come from.

    (At this point I’m purposefully avoiding the pharma/politically motivated covids disgrace).

    But in several articles, it seems that the research just cannot find the engines which generate the evils of cancer. We are told that the job is far too difficult, and much more research is needed to try and find a ‘cure’ whatever that means.

    We live in a world of experts, real scientists, (not TV types, or Beeboid go-tos for crap answers), and if the answer is , MONEY’, then why the hell aren’t governments putting such funds by for proper development of research premises to get to the bottom of all this?

    The reasoning I see, is that the diplomatic requirement for the UK to be seen to support Ukraine’s failing war, Africa’s despots, India’s moon rocket, more African kids needing water, and many other failing overseas states and provinces which can’t be arsed to stand on their own two feet, but fails to lead the way to get some proper people on the job of defeating this dreadful disease.

    We have the science, we have the technology, but we really do need to have and to take Cameron’s ridiculous international splurge from the Unicorn-flavoured-money-tree, or Sunak’s enormous immigrants’ monies, to make these issues work? And while Whitehall snivel serpents fiddle and fart around with giving money they haven’t got, to people they don’t know, for things they don’t need then can we ask a Beeboid perhaps in Verify, if they can try and get the truth?

    If not, can we ask the fourth-formers at any comprehensive outside London to come up with an answer?

        My point is that we see so much money being poured into doubtful stratagems, with no immediate – if ever – return, (Moon rockets, Hadron, HS2 etc., Foreign ‘aid’), and somehow a budding Alexander Fleming needing more money is denied funds to take a crack at dealing with a disease which lets a young family, the same age as Catherine’s, continue to function to provide for the family for as long as possible.

        Isn’t this what taxes and NI are for, to look after a population which works in the earlier years, to pay for the later times?

    These are the bbc doctors used by the liars at bbc verify:

    “a Mail on Sunday investigation has uncovered some disturbing truths about six of the eight medics interviewed – evidence that should, at the very least, have given BBC news executives pause for thought as they rolled out their scoop with dramatic fanfare.

    Astonishingly, all six have repeatedly spouted anti-Semitic slurs on social media, with posts ranging from the provocative and inflammatory to the downright obscene.

    Last night, our findings prompted demands for an independent inquiry into the BBC report. A peer said the corporation was being ‘led by its nose by Hamas’.

    In one post, Dr Amira Al-Assouli (misspelled on the BBC caption), whose account of being targeted by Israeli gunfire was at the forefront of the BBC’s coverage, plainly supports a Hamas rocket attack on Israel.

    ‘O Lord, turn every Palestinian missile into a Zionist casualty, and turn every casualty into a thousand families that leave our homeland,’ she wrote.

    In another she said: ‘Lord protect our mujahideen [jihadi fighters] and support them with your angels and kill the Jews.’

    On the day of the October 7 attacks, the doctor posted a photo of a dead man, Fayez Saeed Al-Assouli, later accused on social media of taking part in the incursion. Dr Al-Assouli, a volunteer at Nasser hospital, describes him as ‘the first martyr of our family’.

    Another doctor, Hatem Raba, wrote on Facebook: ‘May Allah guide the missiles of Palestine’s mujahideen.’

    Elsewhere he praised a terrorist who blew up a bus killing 38 Israeli civilians – 13 of them children – in 1978 as a ‘legend’ and a ‘martyr’.

    The hospital’s general manager Atef Al-Hout (also misspelled on the BBC caption) – who told the BBC that Israel Defence Forces (IDF) soldiers detained medics and forced them to kneel with their hands behind their heads for hours – shared his colleagues’ admiration of Hamas.

    ‘Jerusalem and Gaza are in the camp of resistance. May Allah guide your missiles,’ he wrote in 2021 after a Hamas rocket blitz on Israel.

    Last night, Jewish Tory MP Andrew Percy told The Mail on Sunday: ‘The BBC seemingly doesn’t seem to care that it keeps casually giving airtime to people who openly support the murder and assault of innocent civilians through terrorism.”

    Watched the first episode of the BBC’s ‘Howards End’ series last night with the missus as she likes that sort of thing. And of course in any recent BBC historical drama, no well-to-do family dinner is complete without at least one black person all dressed up as part of the family sat at the table.

    So I gritted my teeth and managed to endure it to the end without complaining too much.

    As I despised the ethics of those who put it before me, I pondered the following questions at the BBC:

    Q. When is cultural appropriation not cultural appropriation ?.
    A. When it’s a triumph of diversity.

    Q.When is misandry not misandry ?.
    A.When it’s anti-misogyny.

    I pondered how the Leftist hypocrites can have such massive double standards and it occured to me that they have probably rewritten the definition of what it means just like they have for ‘racism’.

    This is what it literally means and applies equally to anybody:
    ‘Cultural appropriation is the inappropriate or unacknowledged adoption of an element or elements of one culture or identity by members of another culture or identity.’

    But sure enough, if you keep reading you find the magic qualifiers which means only white people can be guilty of it:
    Here’s the Lefties definition:
    ‘Cultural appropriation takes place when members of a majority group adopt cultural elements of a minority group in an exploitative, disrespectful, or stereotypical way’

    So to summarise, only whites can be racist, only whites can do ‘cultural appropriation’ and women are never ‘misandrists’ : their hate is just ‘anti-misogyny’ and hence it’s the males fault for doing it first.

    It’s hard to believe just how ridiculous these people are. Their heads are completely up their backsides. They are the most guilty of all the things they accuse the people they hate of.

    So much for the tabloid stuff of tomorrow’s fish ‘n’ chip papers

    To weightier matters

    Isabella Wallersteiner I was naive to be pro-immigration… I come from a family of immigrants. I will always be in favour of controlled immigration. But I was wrong to argue for a more liberal approach to vetting and security. Nor did I consider the impact on community cohesion (Sunday Telegraph)

    Who she…? Formerly, standard issue wet Tory, Remainer, social liberal, selling England by the pound, establishment-friendly, I bought the t-shirt feminist, of course: Bored of being called a fake Tory. I’m socially liberal, I believe Brexit was a mistake & I am pro-immigration. I also believe in low tax, a small state, individualism & free enterprise. If someone like me feels the Conservative Party no longer represents them, it ceases to exist (Our Bella on X – formerly Twitter, May 2023); Biological men should not be able to compete in women’s sport at any level… we need to fix the Equality Act to ensure that sex means biological sex and so protect women’s grassroots sport – and presumably for no other reason she can think of – our Bella there on X, Ukraine flag in her bio – you get the picture.

    So how come this sudden Damascene conversion over the immigration issue, of all things, you may ask?

    Well, coincidence ain’t causation, as we all know.

    But our Ms Wallersteiner has of late attracted the ire of a certain tendency resident in our land with a particular bee in their bonnet: If you saw Bella in the tube or in a restaurant, you wouldn’t know she was a genocide supporting extremist. But she is a rabid genocide supporter, who couldn’t care less how many Palestinian babies, women and men are indiscriminately killed by Israel as they pursue their lust for revenge… “genocide barbie” should be reported to the Prevent Programme here in the UK, where extremists are taken in so they can mend their extremist ways. (one Maree Campbell oozes vitriol on The Curated Edit, 31 October, 2023)

    Maree Campbell, who she…?

    Anti-Zionist-Not Antisemite of the Day: Maree Campbell… based on London, UK, who seems to use her LinkedIn primarily to disseminate hate against Israel. Such is her hatred for the Jewish state, she will take Zionist quotes and invert them to bash us (A debut hereabouts for Israellycool, ‘fighting hatred towards Jews and the Jewish state, while providing analysis and commentary’, January 2023) – Arabic script in her X bio, by the way. Don’t ask me to decypher but it makes a change from the usual Pally banner

    So in the blue (and yellow) corner we have Bella “genocide Barbie” versus… in the red, green, white and black corner Maree “Not-antisemite of the Day” – lightweight championship all-girl unsafe space bout

    Ladies & gentlemen… we have a biting and scratching, spitting and gouging, ding-dong cat fight on our hands!

    In all seriousness, it’s no wonder our Bella “genocide barbie” has apparently come over somewhat to our side on the migration issue, eh?

    If ever there were a moment to call for a calm down dear surely it’s now: ‘I get into trouble from time to time’ Gillian Anderson on playing famous women – and speaking her mind (Observer) – for the teenagers – that’s the actress who played Dana Scully in days of yore on the X-Files – TV Sci-Fi nerd staple totty of a calibre unheard of since Gene Roddenberry ordained miniskirts as uniform issue for the dames aboard the Starship Enterprize

    But on a Sunday when at least one new convert has seen the light – there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent. (Luke 15:7 New International Version)

    Not so the Guardian on Sunday better known as The Observer: Revealed: the deadly tactics used to keep migrants from our shores… Video shows French police ramming boats – Legion d’honneur and a big kiss on both cheeks for Les Braves of the Gendarmerie – I think most of we British would agree
