Blimey, I only plugged in to see what the weather was going to be tomorrow!
As Fed quite rightly makes the postings irresistible for us to implore our site to do its utmost to bleed the BBC of funding, and therefore negate its influence even more each week, I reckon we all do a pretty good job! We can’t get very far on the high top table of politics, as that’s one of the nastiest undertakings employing some pretty unpleasant people, but in basic economic terms, if everyone stops paying them via the TV Tax, then they really will struggle!
I only go back to the days of Grant and Co, a few years ago and there were some pretty incisive commenters back then, but I still maintain that our site is doing something to starve the civil serpents of the hated TV tax, and even my small contribution in the form of a few ‘quips’, might make a difference!
MI5 publishes pay gap report for 2023
Published date: 15 Feb 2024
Today, the UK’s intelligence agencies, MI5, SIS and GCHQ have published reports on their pay gaps in the 2022-2023 financial year. You can review the MI5 report on this page.
This year, we are for the first time including ethnicity pay gap figures in our report.
In line with new government guidance, we are publishing our median ethnicity pay gap broken down by ethnic group. We recognise that by doing so, we will be better able to understand and address the specific challenges faced by the ethnic groups represented in our organisation.
This is Unfucking real. The FBI plotted to get Trump’s valet “sweaty” before going back to see Trump to fool Trump into thinking the valet was out jogging, instead of being in a secret grilling by the FBI. https://t.co/7lkbJaVoNcpic.twitter.com/6X8ikkWxVH
The hypocrisy and double standards around this article are simply astounding. Even by the BBC’s standards.
Here we have a FILM review about the Arabs using others as slaves. Right now. Not hundreds of years ago.
‘Written as a gripping thriller, the book has become a cultural cornerstone in the southern Kerala state, with its 250th edition released this year. Its widespread acclaim had sparked a conversation on the harsh realities of migrant life in the Gulf.’
It didn’t spark any conversation at the BBC did it ?. Which of course is because it’s not blacks being abused and it’s not white’s doing it.
It’s this kind of thing which shows the BBC up as the true anti-white racists they are. They don’t care one bit how many Asians are in slavery by Muslims. Telling us about that will damage the image the BBC have spent years trying to create which is that they are just innocent victims of colonial white males.
There was a video a few years back on Youtube of an older Arab lady saying Muslim men should take Christian female as sex slaves to satisfy themselves and thereby keep the Muslim females safe, if memory serves me, I think she was talking about taking slaves from around Croatia. I’ve searched for it before but it seems long gone now.
If Starmer is still backing her, even though he hasn’t seen the evidence, and not even asked for it, then I’d say that it doesn’t bode well for UK Inc, if the incoming PM, who used to be the most senior legal knob in government, uses that sort of flim-flam to control his new cabinet…
I guess that by sitting on the fence, he sees no evil, speaks no evil and hears no evil!
That’ll look good when we’re all stabbed to death, in the dark, by stealthy foreigners
Starmer is not daft. He does not want to see Rayner’s “defence”, because then he will have to have an opinion on it, and I suspect it is a load of crap. So it is better not to see it, and just say he trusts her.
I think the object of her scam was not to evade capital gains tax, but to avoid having to pay back any of her large discount to the council. After buying her council house, she had to keep living in it for five years to avoid having to pay back any of the discount. Obviously, she was living with her husband and children in his house, and her brother was living in hers, but she did not want to admit that, because she was lining her pockets.
I have to hope she’s toast. Then again, the Greater Manchester Police reports to Comrade Commissar Burnham, so I won’t be holding my breath.
I have to admit I do enjoy watching the BBC idiots who have no clue about much in the real world falling hook line and sinker for other peoples rhetoric and bullshit.
However I don’t enjoy reading statements from our own defense minister which show he has about as much clue about it as the BBC. Either that or he is very casual about lying. Not sure if it was Grant who said ‘The russians probably did it’ for Nordstream.
First thing is that you can’t see a laser like they show in the ‘proof’ picture. They have either faked it or they deliberately put smoke out for the shot. ANY picture you see of an actual laser beam in the real world is fake.
First problem: here’s the system:
Note the wires going out and into the big shipping container. The laser is the whole thing, not just the fancy looking bit. It’s huge and it’s maximum range is 1km and it needs to keep it’s laser directed very accurately at a critical part of any UAV for several seconds before it gets hot enough to fail. The entire ‘demo’ is a quad-copter conveniently staying still (and I suspect at very close range) for a while until the motor fails. We also see a hole burned in a mortar shell which is meant to make us think it can shoot down a mortar but it can’t : that hole will have take a long time to burn through with everything fixed in place. Everything else is ‘computer simulation’ graphics. My bullshito’meter hasn’t gone so far off the end of the scale for a long time.
This is a complete propaganda nonsense story. It will not shoot down a single Russian drone. The first one which heads towards it with a tiny bomb will destroy it. But what’s most disturbing is that it is being promoted as a possible miracle-weapon gamechanger in Ukraine.
We seem to be getting very desperate in how far we are prepared to go to make people think Ukraine are winning. Meanwhile Russia are starting to use 3,000Kg glide bombs which are the evolution of modern weapons to win a war like this. Ukraine of course do not have an air force but they will have a useless laser. And it sounds like they will just get one.
I heard this morning on LBC, that there’s a company which has invented a machine which trundles along a pot-holed road, automatically identifies the size, depth etc., and fills it in properly, and all with one pass over the offending hole!
Of course, councils won’t ever buy them, they need the money for their diversity departments, sock-weaving workshops, town-centre bollards and trans-care for kids and their single parent…
I quite like LBC, as long as O’Brien and one or two others aren’t on, but it still seems to be like the ‘London Broadcasting Company’, so never quite getting out into the sticks as much as it should.
Not exactly a high level of debate edition – as the Guardian refuses to walk a mile in Sunak’s shoes

Afterall, it goes to the very heart of the weakness of any honest to goodness, born wrong side of the tracks but made good, salt of the earth working class lefty politician… I refer of course to that dangerous whiff of personal hypocrisy
The Guardian devotes roughly 3% (at a rough guestimate) of their frontpage to their teaser for an inside page story and since the Graun are all about process and procedure a bland factual statement will suffice as minor headline: Police to investigate Rayner… page 4
The left-leaning junior poundshop Guardian that is the ‘i’ newspaper relegates their frontpage teaser for the report to similarly minor proportions: Angela Rayner: I’ll resign if I’ve broken law on council house – this fiesty statement amusingly tucked beaneth a rather larger scare trailer for: Liz Truss is back and her influence is growing. Buckle up…
The far-fetched lefty notion that Donald Trump represents some dangerous far-right constitution threatening 1930s-style potential dictator that America never had (if you don’t count four-term Democrat President Franklin Delano Roosevelt) well that’s amusingly prepostrous enough… but former LibDem Liz Truss as our very own Oswald Mosely?

Bill Maher on illegal immigration:
“Sweden opened it’s borders to 1.5 million immigrants since 2010. Now 20% of their citizens are foreign born, and their education system is tanking. And it has Europe’s highest rate of gang-land killings. To which liberals say: Blaming immigrants for the rising crime rate is racist. Yeah, but is it true? Of course it’s true.”
It only took 4 years of Biden open border policies for Maher to admit that Trump’s line about Mexico ‘Not sending their best’ was 100% correct. Now, it’s the whole world ‘not sending their best’.
As I heard it in various places Maher smokes a lot of weed, I presume he’s collided with reality a few times… Many of the liberal US talk show hosts don’t even have that excuse….
Just read about the murders in Sydney on Daily Mail website. Only clues were a very fuzzy bit of video which hinted the murderer might be of ME origin but absolutely no mention of anything Jewish or Israeli or indeed if the police know the name of the murderer.

Scampton..end of this stage of “the process is the punishment”
as the police first arrest you, upgrade the charges to “racially aggravated trespass”, keep you in suspense
and then drop the charges.

General Sir Richard Barrons has told the BBC there is “a serious risk” of Ukraine losing the war this year.
The reason, he says, is “because Ukraine may come to feel it can’t win”.
“And when it gets to that point, why will people want to fight and die any longer, just to defend the indefensible?”
Ukraine is not yet at that point.
All quotations except the last bit which is the BBC’s own line. And would have a ‘without supplying any evidence’ before it in other circumstances.
The war was lost when NATO gave Ukraine everything it could last year for the much touted offensive and it just made a small bulge in the defensive line. It was a very, very expensive complete and utter failure. Not that the BBC told us that of course.
I was just watching a youtube channel telling me how big the people-smuggling business is now to get out of Ukraine. About $10,000 a time. It seems a lot of people are now doing a runner as soon as they get their conscription papers. What a shame that Frank at the BBC hasn’t been told. Then he wouldn’t look like such an ignorant chump.

BBC WEB-SITE Watch #1 – that is quite a defective headline for one of the BBC’s favourites, is it not?
The BBC love Tiger Woods, which is a bit of an understatement as written. Woods has achieved great wins on the golf course but is a flawed character. Of course, the BBC only look at skin colour, not personal character. You would think on reading this headline that Tiger Woods had broken the Augusta course record – currently 63 – and hauled himself into contention to win the title in that obviously nasty, racist, Georgia. But no.
Tiger Woods has not ‘missed the cut’ for a personal record of not missing the cut! https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/golf/68802088. ‘The cut’ is where only a limited number of players get to compete in the third round of golf at Augusta National for the Masters trophy and the green jacket that goes with it.
This type of wingeing generally stems from frustrated, narcissistic middle-class wimmin’, obsessed with their own narrow class interests. They are always calling for more board members, BBC TV ‘news’ presenters, film directors, and now scientists and physicists. Never hear them demanding more female sewage workers, bin collectors, or gals who want to repair the motorways in the middle of a rainy February night. Good grief, no, let the prole men do that sort of useful stuff.
Ian, there was a female bin collector on ‘the round’ that collected from me but the Canterbury City Council decided to change ‘providers’ and hey-ho it is back to an all male team.
Dare I say that I have a physics ‘A’ level? I went to an all girl school (in those days there were only two sexes). The whole class struggled with the electricity modules and much preferred the light module. Same in chemistry, we all liked mixing chemicals, fiddling with chemical formulae and the like but physical chemistry was our weakness. Learning about the atomic structure of crystals wasn’t very interesting. It wasn’t that anyone told us we wouldn’t find certain topics interesting, just a girl thing.
As usual the old boy is a little behind the times (I blame my age) and I’ve only just become aware of the latest “stabbing spree”, this time in Sidney. Isn’t that an odd way the media choose to describe this horror…a stabbing “spree”?
According to eyewitnesses the suspect was, a “swarthy man with a thick beard”, Yeh, okay, I think we all know where we’re going here. It’s one of them…
It’s always particularly tragic when children are involved and this latest outrage has seen a nine month old baby brutally murdered…also her mother…My God, there’s nothing worse, is there.
You know, I’m (almost) looking forward to the way our beloved, impeccably impartial and totally honest BBC cover this. Hmm, let’s see…

BBC WEB-SITE Watch #2 – that is a defective headline, BBC
I heard about the Sydney stabbing spree on the TOADY Programme but it is covered on the BBC web-site here by a reporter who obviously needs fingers and toes to count with. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-australia-68805458. News update: there are now seven dead, including ‘the attacker’.
Apparently it was ‘a man’ that did it and apparently he is ‘known to police’. This ‘man’ held an ‘ideation’ (we share a common language with Americans, Australians and New Zealanders but sometimes some translation is necessary. I am guessing that ‘ideation’ is roughly equivalent to ‘grudge’.) Of course, there is no mention of the man’s nationality or the ethnicity of the restaurant adjacent to where the attack happened.
The Hindustan Times has a better picture of the ‘man’, who appears to have higher levels of melanin than the police officer who de-enriched the shopping mall.
They know him
but are choosing not to say the name
“@BBCBreaking
Man, 40, who killed six people in Sydney mall was known to police and attack was likely “not a terrorism incident”, police say https://bbc.in/43VLJKq “
“Not a terrorism incident” How the f*** is it not a terrorist incident? FFS – 6 people are dead. Maybe to our totally thick media a bomb has to be involved to count as terrorism.
When assuming you are unaccountable, dig many holes.

Why did #bbcreakfast just describe the Bondi shopping centre as being “for the *most affluent* of the Jewish community in Sydney…”? What the hell does affluence have to do with this horrendous terrorist act? 😡 #sydney
Could be part of the playbook they are following, part of preparing the general population for something along the lines of “The alleged attacker was forced to act, having witnessed the death of so many innocent women and children in Gaza, and hoped to kill at least one Jew during the attack” (subtexts: he was justified, blame the victims, normalise violent anti-semitism).
If so, a dubious one to help their Western supporters.
The BBC et al had put Oct 9 nicely in the past, so targeting a baby as part of the death struggle is going to make it trickier for the subs and placard teams.

Not the BBC – but an extract from a DT piece about the met plod – the friends of Hamas –
STARTS A judge has told the Metropolitan Police it cannot stop an Iranian dissident who displays a sign branding Hamas as terrorists from attending pro-Palestinian protests.
Under strict bail conditions imposed by the force, Niyak Ghorbani, who has been arrested three times during his counter-protests, would have been prevented from going near any central London demonstrations relating to Israel and the conflict in Gaza.
But a judge has now thrown out the conditions, ruling that they were neither proportionate nor necessary.
The conditions had been imposed after 38-year-old Mr Ghorbani was arrested for a third time during a pro-Palestinian march earlier this month.
He has become well known for holding up a sign stating “Hamas Is Terrorist” while standing alongside the route of the regular protests being held in London against Israel’s retaliation to Hamas’s Oct 7 attacks.
He has been manhandled and attacked by some protesters, but insists he is doing nothing wrong in pointing out that Hamas is a proscribed terror group under UK law.ENDS ‘
The Met seems not to like either the truth or the law ….
And this weekend we sit with baited breath wondering what action Iran is likely to take.
Russia has effectively taken control of the Golan Heights building a third military base there.
Tensions in the region are building, and there is little doubt amongst military comentators that and Iran Israel war would quickly escalate probably into WWIII.
The muppets in charge of the West should be doing everything they can to de-escalate the situation, but instead they appear to be doing the opposite and ratcheting up the tension instead.
Nothing good can come out of this conflict and we here in the UK will be hugely adversely affected.
Journalists ask the Trusted News Initiative (TNI) “What do we do next?”
The Trusted News Initiative (TNI) asks the BBC “What do we do next?”
The BBC asks Marianna Spring “What do we do next?”
I doubt that Russia has anything in the Golan Heights at all
It’s all under Israel.
Russia seems to have posts rather than huge bases on the lower plains on the edge of the border. ,
Start to do some research into military intelligence and what they have to say rather than a few Oh they’re just outposts, and ask yourself why Russia would think this worth all the resources. What does Russia have to gain?
Remember in all this Russia is a friend of Israel, but it’s also a friend to other nations in the region.
@Thoughtful the claims you made were factually incorrect
They are not about “The Golan Heights” which are mostly in Israel control
but rather the part of The Golan Heights which are still inside of Syria
In their links the 3 articles don’t speak of Russian bases they speak of posts
In fact the third article is merely a brief note about an Israeli newspaper article which itself is quoting a Hebrew newspaper
They speak of Russian-backed militia
saying many are “rebels who were beneficiaries of Israeli aid ”
It is strange to say that Russia is acting against Iran, since Russia is big friends with Iran cos it supplies drone tech used in the Ukraine war
but Russia maybe acting both ways.

It is rare indeed for hush to fall at a Morrissey concert, but it did then.”

“Sweden rocked by new gangland horror as father, 39, is fatally shot in the head in front of his young son after challenging a gang of youths.
A 39-year-old man was shot and killed in Skärholmen while cycling with his son. “weden remains embroiled in crisis as gun violence continues to soar.
No arrests have been made in connection with the killing, which becomes the latest tragic gangland shooting amid a surge in violence in recent years as criminal gangs feud for control of lucrative drug markets.
According to police statistics, 363 shootings were reported last year with 53 fatalities, while a total of 149 bombings were recorded.
Since 2013, the number of fatal shootings across Sweden has more than doubled, official statistics show, provoked by an explosion in drug-related crime.
By 2022, the gun-murder rate in Stockholm had reached a high roughly 30 times that of London per capita.
And acknowledging Sweden’s difficulty staring down the challenge of gang-related crime, prime minister Ulf Kristersson was forced to admit last year: ‘Sweden has never before seen anything like this. No other country in Europe is seeing anything like this.'”
‘Sweden has never before seen anything like this. No other country in Europe is seeing anything like this.’

Following this and further articles from Norfolk, Rotherham Council commissioned an independent inquiry led by Professor Alexis Jay. In August 2014 the Jay report concluded that an estimated 1,400 children had been sexually abused in Rotherham between 1997 and 2013, predominantly by British-Pakistani men.
This crime’s category is very new in Sweden and was not even logged prior to 2017.[1] Bombings increased significantly in 2015, with Swedish police investigating around 100–150 explosions.[2][3][4] There were over 30 explosions reported in the Swedish city of Malmö alone by August 2015,[5] up from a total of 25 in all of 2014.[6] Malmö police have consequently warned about undetonated grenades in the city.[7][8] By 2019, there were more than 100 explosions in Sweden.[9]
Many such attacks are related to organised crime and extortion of restaurants and businesses.[10] Far-right political activists spreading anti-immigrant sentiments have attributed the rise in grenade attacks and crime with the migrant crisis, a claim that has been disputed.[11][12][13] Paulina Neuding of The Spectator wrote that Swedish officials have failed to effectively address the problem: “it’s still hard for Swedish authorities to be frank about what’s going on. It’s widely known that gang members are mainly first- and second-generation immigrants.”

Birmingham boy killed in grenade explosion in Swedish apartment
This article is more than 7 years old
Yuusuf Warsame, eight, was visiting family in Gothenburg when projectile was thrown into flat in possible gang-related attack
Earlier this month, eight people were convicted of the attack, which took place in the context of a continuing conflict between members of Gothenburg’s Somali community, and given prison sentences ranging from seven years to life.
Every time there is a ‘knife spree ‘( spree?) we go through the name pantomime – this killer was ‘known to police ‘ ..yet do they tell the public who he is ? In the absence decent people draw their own conclusions – if it looks like Islamic terrorism – it’s Islamic terrorism …. However the ‘mental issues’ lie is subsequently rolled out ….
Khan, sod your attacks on car drivers, this is down to you. and we know who the main perps are:
“UK’s ‘most dangerous’ neighbourhood where locals are terrorised by knife-wielding thugs. This south London neighbourhood has been dubbed the “most dangerous” neighbourhood in the UK capital, with knife-wielding gangs and violent crime rife.
Croydon frequently leads the Metropolitan Police’s rankings for violence.
There was a time when shoppers from all over South London would flock to Croydon for its retail offerings. However, with nearly 1,000 stabbings reported in the area since early 2018, its appeal has significantly diminished.
Norman Brennan, a former Metropolitan Police officer turned anti-knife crime advocate, conveyed a grim picture to the Daily Mail: “Croydon is one of the most dangerous areas in Britain. We have lawless streets that nobody controls apart from the criminal element. There are many gangs in Croydon. Lots of their members carry knives, some won’t be in school.”
He continued, highlighting a stark reality: “These people have no values and no idea of the value of life. That’s why so many people are losing their lives or taking those of others. Each knife is a potential murder if you hit an artery or an organ.”
London Mayor Sadiq Khan faced a grilling this week by journalist Piers Morgan after admitting that hundreds of jihadists back from Syria are not being tracked by police.

GBNews on the top of the hour news. The newsreader was gleefully reporting that the polls suggest that the gap is closing between Trump and Biden.

First picture of knifeman who stabbed boy, 16, on UK beach in broad daylight attack
The 19-year-old was locked up over the unprovoked “two-on-one” assault on the unarmed youngster, who was left with injuries including a collapsed lung.
The 16-year-old victim was asked “are you laughing at me?” before being viciously attacked with a knife at during the horridying ordeal on Formby beach.
A cyclist recounted the horrific scene, witnessing the victim being brutally kicked on the ground before Hamed, hailing from Arnold Crescent in Toxteth, loomed over him wielding a large six-inch blade and stabbed him two to three times. The 19-year-old assailant then fled the scene, leaving the witness to tend to the injured man.
Hamed’s rap sheet includes two prior convictions encompassing three offences, all carried out after the stabbing. In October 2022, he appeared before a judge for an incident in Towyn, North Wales, in April of the same year, where he threatened fairground staff with a baseball bat.
During mitigation, defence lawyer Cheryl Mottram told the court: ” in my submission. It is perhaps one of those sorry situations where Mr Hamed has all the potential to be a productive member of the community.
“He is certainly very highly regarded by the individuals who have taken the time to write references on his behalf. He certainly seems to be a hard working individual and a kind and caring individual to those around him.”

As Fed quite rightly makes the postings irresistible for us to implore our site to do its utmost to bleed the BBC of funding, and therefore negate its influence even more each week, I reckon we all do a pretty good job! We can’t get very far on the high top table of politics, as that’s one of the nastiest undertakings employing some pretty unpleasant people, but in basic economic terms, if everyone stops paying them via the TV Tax, then they really will struggle!
I only go back to the days of Grant and Co, a few years ago and there were some pretty incisive commenters back then, but I still maintain that our site is doing something to starve the civil serpents of the hated TV tax, and even my small contribution in the form of a few ‘quips’, might make a difference!

Aadujeevitham: The migrant story shining a light on Gulf states’ exploitation of workers
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-68729583
The hypocrisy and double standards around this article are simply astounding. Even by the BBC’s standards.
Here we have a FILM review about the Arabs using others as slaves. Right now. Not hundreds of years ago.
‘Written as a gripping thriller, the book has become a cultural cornerstone in the southern Kerala state, with its 250th edition released this year. Its widespread acclaim had sparked a conversation on the harsh realities of migrant life in the Gulf.’
It didn’t spark any conversation at the BBC did it ?. Which of course is because it’s not blacks being abused and it’s not white’s doing it.
It’s this kind of thing which shows the BBC up as the true anti-white racists they are. They don’t care one bit how many Asians are in slavery by Muslims. Telling us about that will damage the image the BBC have spent years trying to create which is that they are just innocent victims of colonial white males.

There was a video a few years back on Youtube of an older Arab lady saying Muslim men should take Christian female as sex slaves to satisfy themselves and thereby keep the Muslim females safe, if memory serves me, I think she was talking about taking slaves from around Croatia. I’ve searched for it before but it seems long gone now.

If Starmer is still backing her, even though he hasn’t seen the evidence, and not even asked for it, then I’d say that it doesn’t bode well for UK Inc, if the incoming PM, who used to be the most senior legal knob in government, uses that sort of flim-flam to control his new cabinet…
I guess that by sitting on the fence, he sees no evil, speaks no evil and hears no evil!

Scrobe:
Starmer is not daft. He does not want to see Rayner’s “defence”, because then he will have to have an opinion on it, and I suspect it is a load of crap. So it is better not to see it, and just say he trusts her.
I think the object of her scam was not to evade capital gains tax, but to avoid having to pay back any of her large discount to the council. After buying her council house, she had to keep living in it for five years to avoid having to pay back any of the discount. Obviously, she was living with her husband and children in his house, and her brother was living in hers, but she did not want to admit that, because she was lining her pockets.
I have to hope she’s toast. Then again, the Greater Manchester Police reports to Comrade Commissar Burnham, so I won’t be holding my breath.

DragonFire: UK laser could be used against Russian drones on Ukraine front line
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-68795603
I have to admit I do enjoy watching the BBC idiots who have no clue about much in the real world falling hook line and sinker for other peoples rhetoric and bullshit.
However I don’t enjoy reading statements from our own defense minister which show he has about as much clue about it as the BBC. Either that or he is very casual about lying. Not sure if it was Grant who said ‘The russians probably did it’ for Nordstream.
First thing is that you can’t see a laser like they show in the ‘proof’ picture. They have either faked it or they deliberately put smoke out for the shot. ANY picture you see of an actual laser beam in the real world is fake.
First problem: here’s the system:
Note the wires going out and into the big shipping container. The laser is the whole thing, not just the fancy looking bit. It’s huge and it’s maximum range is 1km and it needs to keep it’s laser directed very accurately at a critical part of any UAV for several seconds before it gets hot enough to fail. The entire ‘demo’ is a quad-copter conveniently staying still (and I suspect at very close range) for a while until the motor fails. We also see a hole burned in a mortar shell which is meant to make us think it can shoot down a mortar but it can’t : that hole will have take a long time to burn through with everything fixed in place. Everything else is ‘computer simulation’ graphics. My bullshito’meter hasn’t gone so far off the end of the scale for a long time.
This is a complete propaganda nonsense story. It will not shoot down a single Russian drone. The first one which heads towards it with a tiny bomb will destroy it. But what’s most disturbing is that it is being promoted as a possible miracle-weapon gamechanger in Ukraine.
We seem to be getting very desperate in how far we are prepared to go to make people think Ukraine are winning. Meanwhile Russia are starting to use 3,000Kg glide bombs which are the evolution of modern weapons to win a war like this. Ukraine of course do not have an air force but they will have a useless laser. And it sounds like they will just get one.

I heard this morning on LBC, that there’s a company which has invented a machine which trundles along a pot-holed road, automatically identifies the size, depth etc., and fills it in properly, and all with one pass over the offending hole!
Of course, councils won’t ever buy them, they need the money for their diversity departments, sock-weaving workshops, town-centre bollards and trans-care for kids and their single parent…
I quite like LBC, as long as O’Brien and one or two others aren’t on, but it still seems to be like the ‘London Broadcasting Company’, so never quite getting out into the sticks as much as it should.

Now this story, being the near-universally acknowledged top story of the day, causes some natural consternation for our dyed-in-the-wool, in-the-tank, card-carrying, fully-paid-up Labour-supporting titles.
Afterall, it goes to the very heart of the weakness of any honest to goodness, born wrong side of the tracks but made good, salt of the earth working class lefty politician… I refer of course to that dangerous whiff of personal hypocrisy
The Guardian devotes roughly 3% (at a rough guestimate) of their frontpage to their teaser for an inside page story and since the Graun are all about process and procedure a bland factual statement will suffice as minor headline: Police to investigate Rayner… page 4
The left-leaning junior poundshop Guardian that is the ‘i’ newspaper relegates their frontpage teaser for the report to similarly minor proportions: Angela Rayner: I’ll resign if I’ve broken law on council house – this fiesty statement amusingly tucked beaneth a rather larger scare trailer for: Liz Truss is back and her influence is growing. Buckle up…
The far-fetched lefty notion that Donald Trump represents some dangerous far-right constitution threatening 1930s-style potential dictator that America never had (if you don’t count four-term Democrat President Franklin Delano Roosevelt) well that’s amusingly prepostrous enough… but former LibDem Liz Truss as our very own Oswald Mosely?

Bill Maher on illegal immigration:
“Sweden opened it’s borders to 1.5 million immigrants since 2010. Now 20% of their citizens are foreign born, and their education system is tanking. And it has Europe’s highest rate of gang-land killings. To which liberals say: Blaming immigrants for the rising crime rate is racist. Yeah, but is it true? Of course it’s true.”
It only took 4 years of Biden open border policies for Maher to admit that Trump’s line about Mexico ‘Not sending their best’ was 100% correct. Now, it’s the whole world ‘not sending their best’.

Ukraine could face defeat in 2024. Here’s how that might look
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-68778338
General Sir Richard Barrons has told the BBC there is “a serious risk” of Ukraine losing the war this year.
The reason, he says, is “because Ukraine may come to feel it can’t win”.
“And when it gets to that point, why will people want to fight and die any longer, just to defend the indefensible?”
Ukraine is not yet at that point.
All quotations except the last bit which is the BBC’s own line. And would have a ‘without supplying any evidence’ before it in other circumstances.
The war was lost when NATO gave Ukraine everything it could last year for the much touted offensive and it just made a small bulge in the defensive line. It was a very, very expensive complete and utter failure. Not that the BBC told us that of course.
I was just watching a youtube channel telling me how big the people-smuggling business is now to get out of Ukraine. About $10,000 a time. It seems a lot of people are now doing a runner as soon as they get their conscription papers. What a shame that Frank at the BBC hasn’t been told. Then he wouldn’t look like such an ignorant chump.

BBC WEB-SITE Watch #1 – that is quite a defective headline for one of the BBC’s favourites, is it not?
The BBC love Tiger Woods, which is a bit of an understatement as written. Woods has achieved great wins on the golf course but is a flawed character. Of course, the BBC only look at skin colour, not personal character. You would think on reading this headline that Tiger Woods had broken the Augusta course record – currently 63 – and hauled himself into contention to win the title in that obviously nasty, racist, Georgia. But no.
Tiger Woods has not ‘missed the cut’ for a personal record of not missing the cut! https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/golf/68802088. ‘The cut’ is where only a limited number of players get to compete in the third round of golf at Augusta National for the Masters trophy and the green jacket that goes with it.

As usual the old boy is a little behind the times (I blame my age) and I’ve only just become aware of the latest “stabbing spree”, this time in Sidney. Isn’t that an odd way the media choose to describe this horror…a stabbing “spree”?
According to eyewitnesses the suspect was, a “swarthy man with a thick beard”, Yeh, okay, I think we all know where we’re going here. It’s one of them…
It’s always particularly tragic when children are involved and this latest outrage has seen a nine month old baby brutally murdered…also her mother…My God, there’s nothing worse, is there.
You know, I’m (almost) looking forward to the way our beloved, impeccably impartial and totally honest BBC cover this. Hmm, let’s see…

BBC WEB-SITE Watch #2 – that is a defective headline, BBC
I heard about the Sydney stabbing spree on the TOADY Programme but it is covered on the BBC web-site here by a reporter who obviously needs fingers and toes to count with. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-australia-68805458. News update: there are now seven dead, including ‘the attacker’.
Apparently it was ‘a man’ that did it and apparently he is ‘known to police’. This ‘man’ held an ‘ideation’ (we share a common language with Americans, Australians and New Zealanders but sometimes some translation is necessary. I am guessing that ‘ideation’ is roughly equivalent to ‘grudge’.) Of course, there is no mention of the man’s nationality or the ethnicity of the restaurant adjacent to where the attack happened.

Not the BBC – but an extract from a DT piece about the met plod – the friends of Hamas –
STARTS A judge has told the Metropolitan Police it cannot stop an Iranian dissident who displays a sign branding Hamas as terrorists from attending pro-Palestinian protests.
Under strict bail conditions imposed by the force, Niyak Ghorbani, who has been arrested three times during his counter-protests, would have been prevented from going near any central London demonstrations relating to Israel and the conflict in Gaza.
But a judge has now thrown out the conditions, ruling that they were neither proportionate nor necessary.
The conditions had been imposed after 38-year-old Mr Ghorbani was arrested for a third time during a pro-Palestinian march earlier this month.
He has become well known for holding up a sign stating “Hamas Is Terrorist” while standing alongside the route of the regular protests being held in London against Israel’s retaliation to Hamas’s Oct 7 attacks.
He has been manhandled and attacked by some protesters, but insists he is doing nothing wrong in pointing out that Hamas is a proscribed terror group under UK law.ENDS ‘

In their links the 3 articles don’t speak of Russian bases they speak of posts
In fact the third article is merely a brief note about an Israeli newspaper article which itself is quoting a Hebrew newspaper
They speak of Russian-backed militia
saying many are “rebels who were beneficiaries of Israeli aid ”

“Sweden rocked by new gangland horror as father, 39, is fatally shot in the head in front of his young son after challenging a gang of youths.
A 39-year-old man was shot and killed in Skärholmen while cycling with his son. “weden remains embroiled in crisis as gun violence continues to soar.
No arrests have been made in connection with the killing, which becomes the latest tragic gangland shooting amid a surge in violence in recent years as criminal gangs feud for control of lucrative drug markets.
According to police statistics, 363 shootings were reported last year with 53 fatalities, while a total of 149 bombings were recorded.
Since 2013, the number of fatal shootings across Sweden has more than doubled, official statistics show, provoked by an explosion in drug-related crime.
By 2022, the gun-murder rate in Stockholm had reached a high roughly 30 times that of London per capita.
And acknowledging Sweden’s difficulty staring down the challenge of gang-related crime, prime minister Ulf Kristersson was forced to admit last year: ‘Sweden has never before seen anything like this. No other country in Europe is seeing anything like this.'”

List of grenade attacks in Sweden
This crime’s category is very new in Sweden and was not even logged prior to 2017.[1] Bombings increased significantly in 2015, with Swedish police investigating around 100–150 explosions.[2][3][4] There were over 30 explosions reported in the Swedish city of Malmö alone by August 2015,[5] up from a total of 25 in all of 2014.[6] Malmö police have consequently warned about undetonated grenades in the city.[7][8] By 2019, there were more than 100 explosions in Sweden.[9]
Many such attacks are related to organised crime and extortion of restaurants and businesses.[10] Far-right political activists spreading anti-immigrant sentiments have attributed the rise in grenade attacks and crime with the migrant crisis, a claim that has been disputed.[11][12][13] Paulina Neuding of The Spectator wrote that Swedish officials have failed to effectively address the problem: “it’s still hard for Swedish authorities to be frank about what’s going on. It’s widely known that gang members are mainly first- and second-generation immigrants.”

Every time there is a ‘knife spree ‘( spree?) we go through the name pantomime – this killer was ‘known to police ‘ ..yet do they tell the public who he is ? In the absence decent people draw their own conclusions – if it looks like Islamic terrorism – it’s Islamic terrorism …. However the ‘mental issues’ lie is subsequently rolled out ….

Khan, sod your attacks on car drivers, this is down to you. and we know who the main perps are:
“UK’s ‘most dangerous’ neighbourhood where locals are terrorised by knife-wielding thugs. This south London neighbourhood has been dubbed the “most dangerous” neighbourhood in the UK capital, with knife-wielding gangs and violent crime rife.
Croydon frequently leads the Metropolitan Police’s rankings for violence.
There was a time when shoppers from all over South London would flock to Croydon for its retail offerings. However, with nearly 1,000 stabbings reported in the area since early 2018, its appeal has significantly diminished.
Norman Brennan, a former Metropolitan Police officer turned anti-knife crime advocate, conveyed a grim picture to the Daily Mail: “Croydon is one of the most dangerous areas in Britain. We have lawless streets that nobody controls apart from the criminal element. There are many gangs in Croydon. Lots of their members carry knives, some won’t be in school.”
He continued, highlighting a stark reality: “These people have no values and no idea of the value of life. That’s why so many people are losing their lives or taking those of others. Each knife is a potential murder if you hit an artery or an organ.”

The despicable attack #BondiJunction is bad enough without it being exploited by the usual suspects to tar a whole community & a faith because of the actions of a criminal
One problem with prejudice is that you might get it wrong
The female women sadly deceased might feel a degree of experience could come into play before such attacks are enacted. But won’t.

GBNews on the top of the hour news. The newsreader was gleefully reporting that the polls suggest that the gap is closing between Trump and Biden. I thought convention dictated that past presidents keep the title ‘President’. Not so with the ‘unbiased’ on the hour news. It was President Biden but Mr Trump.

The 16-year-old victim was asked “are you laughing at me?” before being viciously attacked with a knife at during the horridying ordeal on Formby beach.
A cyclist recounted the horrific scene, witnessing the victim being brutally kicked on the ground before Hamed, hailing from Arnold Crescent in Toxteth, loomed over him wielding a large six-inch blade and stabbed him two to three times. The 19-year-old assailant then fled the scene, leaving the witness to tend to the injured man.
Hamed’s rap sheet includes two prior convictions encompassing three offences, all carried out after the stabbing. In October 2022, he appeared before a judge for an incident in Towyn, North Wales, in April of the same year, where he threatened fairground staff with a baseball bat.
During mitigation, defence lawyer Cheryl Mottram told the court: ” in my submission. It is perhaps one of those sorry situations where Mr Hamed has all the potential to be a productive member of the community.
“He is certainly very highly regarded by the individuals who have taken the time to write references on his behalf. He certainly seems to be a hard working individual and a kind and caring individual to those around him.”
