I thought I’d mention St George’s Day in this Thread because the way things are going it might be the last time it is ‘celebrated ‘ – the BBC will traditionally claim that St George was not British or didn’t exist and put their VERIFY Propaganda department on the case . So many traditions are no approved – together with British history and culture – Saint George is someone the BBC would gladly bin 🏴

Just a glimpse of the impartial political commentary you can expect from this @Channel4News panel. Presumably this type of bias on a news programme is ok with @Ofcom ?
Mad Al of course a regular BBC guest too.
How on earth does Alistair Campbell get let out of his padded cell let alone allowed to comment on an election night program for Channel 4.
Seriously OfCu*t?
The cubiclists rely on the financial ‘expertise’ of Vicky Price to pad out their incomprehensible nonsense, so wheeling out a pissed old fart like Campbell, is short-dial fantasy for the idiots who really haven’t a clue about serious issues, but just want to get more abbotoids to listen and get so confused, that they still vote labour!

The BBC’s former Washington car park correspondent Jon Sopel gets a Community Note over at #FakeNewsNetwork
He cannot even snark right.
Huw Edwards willy has sighed relief at no longer being in the public eye .he has asked that his privacy be respected and deserves a fair shake .
Huws ‘ willy has complained about the amount of abuse he has received and will not be making any public appearances
Funny how all these deviants and perverts when found out suddenly develop “mental health concerns”
Seems that the religious police have deployed a retired senior met officer to further rubbish the jewish chap saga .
Im sure the msm wont mention it so i will – said retired plod is a muslim – so in my view disqualified from such comments .
But thats where we are ..,,maybe i should convert… we ll all have to sooner or later
BBC Verify has verified that the Trusted News Initiative exists to instil trust in BBC News and the newsreader Huw Edwards.
Huw Edwards will not be reporting on trusted news issues, such as the trusted governments use of behavioural scientists to instil trust in BBC newsreaders and stories about trans gender perversion and mental health concerns caused by the governments use of trusted behavioural scientists to instil trust, fear and mental illness in the gullible, as well as children and the BBC newsreader, Huw Edwards, who was trusted until a scandal involving a willy.
Ain’t diversity great.
Just calming down now, after being TWICE verbally abused, swore at and threatened by black men in cars within the space of 30 minutes.
First one flashing headlights and 4 feet behind me as I overtook a car on a duel carriageway, as I was not doing 90 mph as he wanted to as he later sped away, gesticulating out of the window.
Second bastard, walking towards my car with shopping from Tesco and he wanted to pull out of his bay, so flashed his lights and sounded his horn, then pulled up wound his window down and a volley of abuse, which he then also received back after 10 hour day and 2 hour commute.
I am thinking of walking around with my phone camera at the ready on video as soon as I see the next one. It most certainly is not the only occasion, many times before either asian or black at least 80 percent of the time.
I seriously think a certain sector of our society has a problem with a surfeit of testosterone, and that included the women
(There’s one for your file Maxi)
Zephir
I think Maxi is still in his “safe space”?
Your dashcam will have captured the incidents
Walking past a car ?
Sorry, but I refuse to wear a plasic hat with a camera on it, call me vain if you like but that’s just my choice.
Unless of course I am being interviewed for a radio 2 job to replace Mr Vine, I may make the shortlist there.
And in the first instance, dashcams do not record cars tailgating, flashing their headlights and giving you abuse as they pull alongside you.
Or undertaking you at 70 mph.
There are plenty of dashcams that feature rear facing cameras too.
Thanks for the advice Moggie.
Maybe I will re engage with Dragon’s Den and see if someome comes up with a side facing camera to record when they start giving you the finger at 80 mph as they pass you, with various other gesticulations, known only to their fellow machete wielding gang members.
I generalise, but as with most generalisations, there is a reason why. (statistics maybe ?)
Or maybe I just can’t be bloody bothered, as I mentioned after 10 hours , hungry just wanted to get home.
And of course, if we all need all around cameras to record mostly black and asian drivers acting like twats on the road, maybe the problem needs another solution.
Even the psycho white van drivers will usually limit themselves to just a toot, not gesticulating and winding down the window and a barragage of threats, which has happened many times with our dusky diverse victims of racism.
And, I am specifically referring to YOUNG black and asian drivers, maybe reading too many bbc articles telling them they are always, without fail, the victims.
That’s because it always rains on gay parades.
Don’t all those colours get sort of ‘grey’ at those prancing non-events when it rains?
My wife used to love the jerseys and clothes by a fabulous firm known as Clothkits! (Sadly gone now).
They used to use the primary colours in all of their weaves etc., to create some marvellous effects for their items during the early eighties…
That’s until I chucked the whole lot in the washing machine and added some rather nasty detergent…
Scroblene,
I listen to most music on my pc (“ripping” CDs) and have been limited by some “reasonable” logitech speakers, looking around (and disappearing down a rabbit hole of various reviews and opinions and OCD hi fi enthusiasts and experts), came up with a great compromise, eventually, without spending many hundreds .
Still over £100 but I consider worth the investment.
I realised most pc speaker systems are designed for gamers (thus the subwoofer) and not designed for music.
I have been on a journey revisiting Genesis, Yes, some King Crimson and others, especially some earlier Genesis, Trespass, and others underrated such as Wind and Wuthering etc.
I happened upon a company called Edifier, and they are powered speakers, no need for an amp, plug directly into a pc. They are often used with turntables and … the difference, astounding, like listening to music for the first time, each separate instrument and individual drum clear, even to the point of hearing fingers rubbing against bass strings etc.
Revisiting now some jazz and other genres and hearing sounds never heard before on PC speakers not designed for bass clarity and mid range…never mind the treble clarirty added in.
Edifier 1700BT being the recommended ones in my opinion, now regretting getting rid of my Tangerine Dream…
Happened upon this German chap, Schiller and the sound through these is stunning, especially when the drims kick in (real Drums not electrica stuff)
CDs wont get you far, you need the SACD , or vinyl rips, with huge bitrate!
Another rabbit hole endless searches and reviews, and a credit card, no thanks maybe sometime in the future
Brilliant, Zephir!
I’ve never heard them before!
Zephir,
A fan of Yes! That’s a rarity. One of my very favourites- the Bruford years especially.
I think King Crimson’s first album was stunning as well.
Close to the Edge ! wonderful
Like time travel, back to the seventies where music was so much more creative.
Starless and Bible Black, Moonchild …Roundabout, And You and I…
Although the Crimson guitarist, Robert Fripp seems to have found a new outlet on Sunday lunchtimes….
Married to Toyah Wilcox, he seems happy anyway..
Hi fidelity seems not required as mammaries feature regularly
Absolutely Lucy!
Alan White drumming on ‘Owner of a lonely heart’ and ‘Going for the one’ was fabulous and still my go-to ‘shouts’ when things are looking up!
Bill Bruford is in fact my favourite drummer, and Zeps, in ‘Seconds out’ by Genesis, Bruford and Collins just set the world alight at the end of ‘Cinema show’ in Paris, and I have to play that about once a week, to keep calm…
…about 1.18.00
You may or may not know they used a fantastic drummer called Chester Thompson on Seconds out while Collins was singing
Oh yes!
Chester Thompson and Daryl Stuermer are perfect touring companions, and seeing Chester and Collins do their ‘battle’ is always a highlight!
Stuermer nearly broke all his fingers at Knebworth in 1992, he did the most amazing riff on ‘Firth of Fifth’!
Very nice, although missing Hackets violin effect, turning the guitar volume down plucking string then turning volume effect up slowly.
Perusing HMV the other day I saw Steve Hacket has done a solo rendition of Seconds Out with his own band , rather expensive, over £20 have you heard ? is it worth the purchase ?
Also considering Hacketts Spectral Mornings, gone are days when you had the offer of listening in a booth before purchasing, so always a risk of disappointment….
and another effore with good reviews, a darker album (not always a bad thing)… Defector ?
@ Scrobs
Just a strange story for you Scrobs…
A friend of mine, sadly gone now to that gig in the sky, he was at the Letchworth Genesis gig I mentioned earlier at the Leys youth club in Letchworth 1971 and turned up early as they were sound checking, the sound man asked Gabriel
“is that ok for you ?”
Gabriel replied, “it’ll do for this place” in non commtital, rather offhand, disparaging way.
My friend never, ever forgave him as the sound was awful apparentlty, and my friend, from ther forwards categorically refused to attend any Genesis gig since, having attended some prime Pink Floyd in the 70s, and many other gigs including the Isle of White with Hendrix, Dylan at Blackbush aerodrome, Free etc etc. But never Genesis again.
On a darker note, or maybe rather amusing if one has that kind of sense of humour:
After his sudden demise,which was an horrendous industrial accident, his wife (not a rock fan, a relativley late marriage) after her grief was a little deminished, I met her and asked how she was getting on.
She said, on a positive note, I am listening to all his albums (just to understand his real character), an album collection of which there were many, but Captain Beefheart, she told meI just can’t get on with, I had to buy her a couple if drinks.
The poor thing, she neeeded it, especially after playing Trout Mask Replica, she looked like she needed a couple of large whiskies to get over the PTSD, not from the bereavement, just what came out of the strereo earlier in the afternoon.
Interesting tales, Zeps!
Some years ago, a good friend told me that when he was teaching at Cranbrook School, several miles away, Genesis did a concert there in the late sixties, (I think it was around then), and he heard them tuning up all afternoon!
He was rather proud of that day, as he had been on the school’s entertainment committee, so got pole position!
“Deportation flights to Rwanda will take off in 10 to 12 weeks, Rishi Sunak says”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-68871847
Don’t waste our tax payers money on a pre-election stunt , (£ Millions!) .
Just “Stop the boats” in the Channel . Its far cheaper.
Let the puppet have his way. It will be further evidence that there are even small bumps along the way, even in terminally managed decline. He’s just looking for some sympathy from his puppet masters.
Ironically the French will introduce fingerprinting and photos at the border for Brits but are quite happy to send thousands of ‘undocumented’ scroungers over here. If you don’t have the right documents the French won’t let you in and will send you home….maybe we should do the same for these ‘migrants’…assume they are French and if they don’t have ID return to sender. What’s the problem?
Channel 4 accused of Left-wing bias over election night panel
Emily Maitlis, the former BBC journalist who now co-presents the News Agents podcast, will host the programme alongside Krishnan Guru-Murthy, the Channel 4 News anchor, prompting accusations of Left-wing bias.
Analysis will be provided by Alastair Campbell, Sir Tony Blair’s former spin doctor, and Rory Stewart, a former Tory minister who was stripped of the whip by Boris Johnson and said last year that he would consider voting for the Liberal Democrats.
Ms Maitlis was responsible for one of the biggest BBC impartiality rows in recent years after her 2020 Newsnight monologue about Dominic Cummings’ trip to Barnard Castle. After a flood of complaints, the corporation said she had “overstepped the mark”.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/04/22/channel-4-accused-of-left-wing-bias-over-election-panel/
Who would have thought it Eh? Ed Millipeed – former girlfriend (he boasted) in a spot of bother. Who will save her? Who will sack her? Who cares! Of course, the BBC trains its journos to be biased in order to get advancement. if they are lucky, they could to ‘bag’ Ed Millipeed as future Labour Minister for Green energy! They have a lot of it. Wind mainly. More to come – if elected. Both of them.

your post:
“R5 just now on Rwanda statement — who do the BBC turn to for their lengthy commentary? That’s right an Australian human rights lawyer heading up the charity Freedom from Torture: caption = ‘Refugees welcome, always’. Sonya thinks UK “numbers are very small in the big scheme of things” and that “we” are not taking so many in comparison.
We?
Photo for JohnC’s pleasure”
Photo for Sonyas pleasure, note the locations of the bloodstains, and ankles slashed to prevent escape..
I’d prefer you didn’t put these kind of photos on the site.
Prefer all you like, with respect, there are many photos of supposed victims of Israels response to this outrage widely circulated.
These are the kind of “refugees” we will get here if the SNP muslim,and many others, gets their way, when or if hamas are defeated. “fleeing war and persecution”.
This was not war.
it was a mass attack on thousands of unarmed civilians. Largely ignored, thus the reminder.
Do you think they will suddenly become civilised and restrained members of our society ?
Weekends in London, and their behaviour in Jordan, Kuwait and Egypt suggest otherwise.
I have to question the man in that picture, as he appears to be sub Saharan African, and not Palestinian.
It raises questions such as how he managed to get into Gaza in the first place as it’s supposed to be locked down tight as a drum.
We know people can get in and out, but only if they have legitimate reason so how did he get there?
Feminists, and any normal person would question his actions, but only the normal ones would make an issue of it for some bizarre reason.
A presenter on GB news gets sacked for interviewing yet not making any comment about a woman who made derogatory remarks about mens’ mental health and gets trashed by a Mr Fox,
yet no outrage on the bbc or elesewhere on the above.
Looks like another job for the goons at BBC Verify and google maps.
Just to be clear, I force myself to watch any videos or view any pictures which document what actually happened because I think people must know if they are to form any valid opinion. Same as the war in Ukraine.
I take no pleasure in it, but it’s the only way we can know the truth of the people we are talking about. I have NEVER seen anything remotely like what Muslim extremists are prepared to do to innocent people. I wonder how many luvvie idiot clones at the BBC have seen them cut someones head off in cold blood or burn them alive.
Having engaged with one on an aeroplane during a 6 hour flight (who looked like he just came out of a cave), I discovered they gernuinely believe that what they do is the will of Allah and hence have no conscience whatsoever about doing it.
In Dubai airport, he walked straight over to a cluster of Arab security guards and started chatting like old friends which also seemed odd to me.
It’s 100% clear to me that appeasement will never work. Their demands will just change. What Israel are doing is the only solution and they have learned that the hard way.
Crazy presentation style but clearly shows the modern battle tactics.
BBC meanwhile..
Yes, a bit bizarre but I suppose that’s how you stand out from the crowd. He’s far from the worst I’ve seen.
Not easy to find any realistic reports of the Ukraine war these days : at least that one didn’t start with drum beats and triumphant war music and showing us the same old clips as if they are proof Ukraine is winning.
The BBC don’t report any of it. Looking at their ‘Ukraine War’ page, they have one objective : to make people support Ukraine and to discredit Russia – althought it’s now dotted with smaller articles hinting at the truth of how the war is going because they know they can’t just ignore it.
Google is useless to find anything about this as anything nor pro-Ukraine is filtered out. If anyone knows any websites which actually show what is going on with at least some degree of objectivity, please let the rest of us know so we can continue to try and find the truth. Our own society is using every trick to prevent us knowing it.

My last comment regarding the last couple of posts, just imagine if this had happened to America, or any country in Europe, invaded in such a manner and what do you think their the response would comprise ?
The response has been in the past, at the time of Merkels HGV at the Xmas market, and Macrons Bataclan, is to make every excuse possible for the savages, make the press hush it all up as quickly as possible.
Arrest anyone who dares to speak out about it, call the opposition meaningless isms and fake fauxbias, but actually the response has been to do nothing whatsoever.
In fact even after Charlie Hebdo when Savages were parading around one of Europes largest most important cities and executing their enemies en masse the government still did nothing and continues to do nothing.
The problem is that politicians are not particularly well paid and the Middle East has an awful lot of money they are prepared to spend in order to promote their religion and so no politician is going to turn that kind of money down.
Israel is not going to even be approached by the Middle Easterns as they know they have no chance – and beside which there are quite a number of Zionist Muslims who actually want the state of Israel to exist.
So there’s your answer, complete with previous real life examples.
First point, a military invasion from another country, killing civilians, mass raping children and women and filming it for fun, taking women and children hostages and dragging them back over the border and abusing them in public, a difference there for a start, but maybe I should have confined my post to the USA…and how they would have responded.
In fact most countries in the world would respond in a similar fashion, but it seems only Israel seems vilified for their attempts to eliminate the mlitaria that committed this and to recover hostages.
The US was not similarly vilified in their response to 9 11 in the MSM
I could. of course also point out that militaria invading another country and shooting and raping, without identifiable uniforms were routinely in the past summarily executed with no valid objecions from either side.
It is being reported two men have been charged under the official secrets act of spying on behalf of Communist China.
One of them is an ex public school boy (aren’t all spies?) and is perhaps also unsurprisingly a Tory Party researcher.
After Liz Truss’s comments about Tory Party selection allowing Marxists into the party, are as previously strongly suspected, are indeed true.
Maybe the response should be to join just stop oil and send them back to their tents and goat herding.
It may be safer in the long run when they run out of guns and bombs.
Their collective wealth does not seem to produce an increase in any of their countries’ peace, education, innovation or enterprise.
If it can’t be purchased from the west, it does not seem to happen.
Seems a total lack of Saudi sports cars on the market, or universities in the top rank.
@Tomo
8 billion pound for the following environmental degradation, for a very poor way of generating electricity deoendant on the vagaries of the wind being either present or in the correct direction…..:
Havings some inside knowledge of these projects as you referred to above and it’s horrendous impoact on rural communities in a beautiful area.
How does the electricity generated go to where it is needed ?
I’ll tell you, the ones off the coast of Norfolk require a 6 metre wide 30 mile trench dug all the way across the farmland and countryside across Norfolk.
Any comments from Chris Pakham about the loss of habitat ?
“Ørsted has started building trench for Hornsea Three wind farm.
The wind farm project is being built by Ørsted, a Danish state-owned company, at a cost of £8bn.
already workers on the Hornsea Three project have started carving a gash through the Norfolk countryside.
Stunning images captured by the areal photographer Mike Page have thrown the sheer scale of the works into sharp relief.
The photographs show the start of the route through the county from the north Norfolk coastline at a point west of Weybourne, which then wends its way southwards.
The trench will eventually be 33 miles (53kms) long, connecting to the National Grid at the Norwich main 400-kilovolt substation, located between Swardeston and Stoke Holy Cross, south of Norwich.”
” A project spokesman said: “We have commenced some early works with our principal contractor Volker Fitzpatrick whilst we work towards taking our final investment decision, which we expect to take by the end of the year.
“This includes activities such as the set-up of construction site compounds, vegetation clearance along the route, pre-construction drainage and construction of haul roads along the cable route, as well as cable duct laying at the cable landfall location near Weyborrne.”
https://www.edp24.co.uk/news/23683582.rsted-started-building-trench-hornsea-three-wind-farm/
Drainage ditches dug, site compounds built with numerous employees’ cars arriciving daily, delivery lorries, vegeatation clearance, haul roads constructed with massive trucks going back and forward all day, cable ducts laid, etc etc
Any comment from Chris Packham and his many colleauges concerned about habitats, farmers, rural communities, birds, animals and trees ?
6 meter wide trench plus the haul roads either side and you get a scar maybe 100 meters wide.
This just to benefit the urban junkies in Norwich when there could be a feed into the local coastal communities and maybe give them some really cheap energy which could benefit coastal industries, instead of paying for our international connectors to take the power when we have too much wind.
Chris Packam looks straight into the TV cameras and lies by saying that wind power is the cheapest form of energy. Not when you have to have a backup gas powered power station it isn’t.
Yes and a certain Highways authority on a certain main A road promised they would replace the trees.
There is a phrase worth remembering “the devil is in the detail”
I recall two hundred metres of these mature trees replaced by one foot “trees” and some idiots “forgot” they needed to be watered and looked after.
All died, unfortunately it was the trees.
I am not arboriculturist but am currently dealing with the response to a similar stuation and the current phrase is replaced with “semi mature trees”
Semi mature humans don’t do too well on their own without nurturing, especially when chucked into a different location with no parents, let’s hope the trees do better.
The BBC article about Monday’s Tommy trial
Title : Tommy Robinson: Met Police officer admits wrong date put on court order
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-68876369
as ever the main bias is lying by omission
Also it ends “The trial continues.”
AFAIK the trial is basically over and the judge has asked people to come back at 10:30am for the verdict
This guy points out the BBC report has a concrete inaccuracy
Voice of Wales summary is much better
.. https://twitter.com/VoWalesOfficial/status/1782517358050836866
ah OK the 10:30am verdict will be on the motion to dismiss the entire case
It could fail and then the trial will actually continue all day
Fleing war and persecution
Fleeing war and persecution
Disd he talk like this at his UK immigration application ?
Fleeing war and persecution
Much of the problems above are due to the wet police not obeying their oath (no fear or favour). That is treason isn’t it?
1) They could pickup the person that stabbed Hatun in broad daylight at Speakers Corner. This area of Londonistan has the highest concentration of CCTV probably in the world. However multiple examples show that muslims are higher in the pecking order than a stabbed woman.
2) They could arrest someone assaulting Hatun at Speakers Corner but see 1). Speakers from other faiths are assaulted at Speakers Corner all the time (e.g. Christians) by muslims and the wet police do not intervene.
3) These imports have no idea how to behave. A muslim wishes his fellow Christians a happy Easter and another crazed muslim drives hundreds of miles to stab him to death.
It would be better for all concerned if these deranged individuals could live somewhere where they would be more suited e.g. Saudi Arabia or Iran.
One thousand lovely individuals delivered to a country near you for every single missile fired.
Australian PM calls Elon Musk an ‘arrogant billionaire’ in row over attack footage
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-68878967
So the Australian government refused to even tell the world the terrorist was a Muslim and now they want any video evidence of it removing from the internet.
And BBC take great delight in using ‘arrogant billionaire’ in the headline.
How about ‘Musk refuses request to censor content by Australian Government’ instead BBC ?. because that’s the truth of it.
Keep going Elon. Keep going IDF. The Left are trying everything they can to stop you without giving good reasons why – whilst hiding extremely important facts which aren’t convenient for their agenda.
Appeasement might stop the Muslims getting angry now but it makes it worse and worse in the future. As the marches on our streets in support of terrorists while the police cower in the background keeping anyone away who might upset them proves.
Authoritarian western governments are clamping down on any videos or images that show the true behaviour of barbarians who stab an innocent arch-bishop. This is to protect their WEF programs of the great replacement.
Bruises and broken ribs – Israel’s unexplained prison deaths
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-68780112
Another 100% empathy-laden BBC article. These articles are about as dirty as you can get. They aren’t telling you facts, they are trying very hard to influence your opinion with as much emotion as they can cram in.
We get to the crux:
Thirteen Palestinian prisoners have since died in Israeli prisons, “the majority of them as a result of beating or denial of medication”, the commission’s head, Qadoura Fares, told the BBC.
So who is ‘Qadoura Fares’ and what is this commission whose findings the BBC are presenting as fact ?.
And how have the BBC ending up meeting with him to give him a soapbox ?.
They are:
‘West Bank-based Palestinian Authority’s (PA) Commission of Detainees Affairs.’
Right. A Palestinian Muslim. So no bias there and no actual evidence required. Just like Hamas.
It a ridiculous, lengthy article full of lines like this:
‘Umm Mohamed showed photos of Abdulrahman on her phone, pointing to one and saying: “Look at him. He was so cheerful.”‘
Why are the BBC devoting so many resources to this ?. What has it got to do with them ?. Why should the British public be funding articles like this ?.
No mention of the real victims in this though who have no rights and no rules about what is done to them : the hostages.
An article written by 2 BBC Muslims. Here’s one:
This is another outrageously biased article by the BBC inferring all Muslims are innocent and Israel are the bad guys. It’s now beyond ridiculous that they are getting away with it.
Keep going IDF. Finish the job.
…..then come here and deal with the BBC and the other traitors we have in this country.
Just listening to news about Sunak and Rwanda and I’m somewhat confused : Does Sunak actually think this is the immigration vote-winner the Tories need to win the next election ?.
He’s talking about having 800 people trained to escort these immigrants to Rwanda along with hundreds of lawyers on standby to fight all the appeals I presume we will be funding.
Just how much is it costing the taxpayer to get rid of a few hundred of them ?. I’m hearing that 200 will be going soon – and I’ll believe that when it happens. Yet I see on the weekend of 30th march alone, another 800 arrived.
I must be missing something because it is beyond ridiculous. They should be loaded on a big boat and taken away. Preferably to be dumped back on the French coast because I still haven’t heard one argument giving me a common sense answer as to why they are not. They are not fleeing anyone from there so their request for Asylum should be instantly rejected.
Of course the BBC and Labour will be laughing their heads off with calculators in hand working out how much it is going to cost ready for the election campaign.
Sunak was installed by the BBC and Leftist MSM exactly because they knew he was unelectable. The dirty MP’s who ousted Boris for their own greedy ends are directly to blame – including Sunak himself. Now the country is paying the price for their treachery.
Good morning JohnC
Sunak says that the bill was introduced to “deter vulnerable migrants from making perilous crossings and break the business model of the criminal gangs who exploit them”, adding that it will make it clear that “if you come here illegally, you will not be able to stay”.
Deter vulnerable migrants? Who you trying to kid. They do not wish to integrate, just take take take, “free” housing, “free” mobile, “free” schooling, for all their children and family, and several wives to bred
If you come here illegally? but we have the likes of RNLI ferries bringing them here
If Sunak was sincere, a plane loaded with illegal invaders would have been waiting on the tarmac and begun taxi-ing for takeoff within 10 minutes of the vote being passed. But it wasn’t and he isn’t. End of.
bbc in full swing, with negative “reporting” on Rwanda
Unease as Rwanda gears up for arrival of UK migrants
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-68836255
“Unease”???
Just look at the hotel!
I hope the poor souls are not offered the standard hotel small plasic pots of jam and honey at breakfast.
I do recall one who received such a pot of honey remark,
“I see you keep a bee”
I remember staying at a B and B and the running gag was counting the number of tinned mushrooms in the ‘fry up ‘ … I won’t say which nation of the UK it was – Taffman …
Maybe I deserve compensation for mental anguish …
Did they take them out of the tin before frying them ?
(Sorry Taff) I did stay at a nice hotel in Llandovery, or something like that, the only downside was the drive up the mountan the next day, the road just got narrower and narrower, I actually thought it was the end of the road and a footpath at one point)
Christ knows how they get fridges and things delivered, although considering the weather it may not be an issue.
Haven’t been back lately, but I always stayed at The Llanwenarth Hotel, Abergavenny, with a fabulous room right over The Usk!
Best breakfast ever too!
Scroblene – I shouldn’t complain as I was meant to be camping ( matron ) but the weather got chilly and being a townie … the coward stepped forward … running water… luxury ..
I last went camping in 1965, Fed, so it’s not exactly a habit…
All the way to Antwerp and beyond, on a Lambretta with a chum on the back, a few packets of Peter Stuyvesant and a CCF ‘pup’ tent to kip in…
Still got the miniature chrome and yellow AA badge which they issued for motorbikes!
The Rwanda bill has passed.
I can envision a cartoonist showing an aeroplane with a massive queue of white English Christian people all trying to escape from the s******** that successive governments have made this country, watched over by people in rubber dinghies looking quizzical.
Rwanda has just closed down its speakers corner.
I mifght have made that up
Don’t say things like that Zeph.
The Supreme Court will use it as evidence in order to keep the rubberised cross channel ferry customers here in perpetuity.
Only the BBC can attempt to stir up racism when in fact it is entirely the responsibility of the minorities themselves.
On Toady they report that black people have to wait 10 months longer than whities for a kidney transplant. The initial insinuation is clear.
They go on to say that black people are ‘significantly under-represented’ on the list of donors. A favourite expression in ethnic minority contexts. Again an insinuation that whities are being unfair.
But of course what is actually going on is that kidney transplants require good matches of kidneys and hey presto, black people are a better match but not enough blacks are altruistic enough to put themselves forward for donation. That was not the BBC headline.
Awful reporting as per usual.
A common BBC trick Sluff.
I remember when we were told how racist COVID was.
No mention of how black people don’t give a f*ck about white-mans rules and they didn’t get any vaccine because they were dumb enough to believe the police could track them if they did.
It’s always whities fault at the BBC. Because THEY are the racists.
If there were one black person in the voluntary RNLI you can be sure they wold be in every singe bbc picture in any article about it.
(they managed to find ONE black farmer who gets to say a lot about farming every time the bbc want a positive story about farming)
We see none.
We can fully expect a story about the sea being racist sooner or later, along the lines of “why is there only one Black Sea ?”
“hideously white icebergs, polar bears and seagulls ” etc etc

If only they would stick to what they used to do, either become full time alcoholics, or just buy a pub and go bankrupt within a couple of years through regaling customers about various offside injustices every evening and how they once successfully tackled George Best who was probably pissed at the time and seeing double.
Pay’s better at the BBC and you don’t have to bother about attracting punters if your face fits….
I notice in Smarmer’s in recent speech in Scotland he’s suggesting that there should be a “ceasefire that lasts” in Gaza and it “must happen now”. He must think we are all stupid if we think what he’s saying doesn’t mean the same as his controversial “immediate ceasefire” line. What’s absent of course is there’s no reference to the hostages or the Hamas attack that started this all off. He’s playing to the SNP supporters in Scotland where he hopes to pick up lots of seats from the SNP.
I think Smarmer is one of the most disgusting people I am aware of, he’s wrecking Britain by playing Politics with Brexit, immigration and Gaza. He wants power but doesn’t care what damage he’s doing to Britain.
The Israelis would agreed to a cease fire immediately if they get the hostages back, and have also agreed to release of a large number of Hamas fighters. But Israel wants the hostages released.
You have to ask why Hamas won’t agree to it? Perhaps if you live in Quatar you don’t care about either the hostages or the people living in Gaza. Although Mayer Tousi showed gazans sunning themselves on the beach looking all the world like Benidorm, but with the women rather more covered up.
Happy St. Georges Day.
Or in BBC-land, happy Turkish bloke day.
Would be lovely if Tommy Robinson wins on today of all days.
Just nailed our flag of St George to the gate, NS!
As to be expected, the cubiclists attempt to defray the popularity of St George and our flag, and, try to dig up as much as they can, to cast as many aspersions on British patriotism as they can get into a lot of unreadable twaddle.

They are a miserable crowd of British-haters, and deserve to be shut down forever!
I firmly believe the EU wants to destroy nations which is why there is a decided aim to destroy the Royal family (good or bad). But St George’s day is another thing that could make England identity as a country. The Remainers, fully supported by the BBC would want to destroy anything that keeps us English not European.
They drag that same Newsround article out every year. I’m a bit disappointed they haven’t got Team Verify to at least draw an arrow in felt pen pointing to Turkey.
Maybe the licence fee needs to go up some more.

bbc bubble and its priorities
Happy St Georges Day, I see its all over the bbc webshte:_
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/england
Of course its not!
Happy St George’s day – the final one before it is banned by the new regime . No BBC at all today – and a vast improvement on mental health …..talking of which – the somewhat scatty cherelle? Jacobs has a piece in the DT about the British Mental Health Crisis ….
But why should there be a surprise that people are increasingly – to put it basically – effed up ?
All the ingredients are present – feral parents – drugs – too much information – to much opportunity to blame someone else – too much ‘approved ‘social freedom – state agencies – education – law – health which either don’t care or are dysfunctional ….
I’m glad I’m not a kid today – I’ve always held views very conventional views about religion and self reliance and family – so boring – no drugs – no law breaking ( ex TV licence ) anti – hedonism ….
But do I ‘suffer’ from some mental condition ? No – never have- yet millions and millions are now – it seems – depressed …
Yes – I know if you take in too much media it won’t be good for the soul – but millions on mental medication ? And getting worse ?
Britain seems to have rapidly moved from back bone to spineless as it has been invaded – infected – I prefer with the foreign – the anti enrichment – and this is the consequence –
Add the terror of lockdowns and furlough and free welfare and Blighty ground to a mental halt with no thought of remedy … Maybe only severe hardship will shake things up ….
BTW – if yaxley gets off we won’t hear much – when he is convicted ( bound to be ) the bbc will lead all day with it … I guess he’ll do time as they want him dead as a warning to others- us .
St George, Turkish? He had a great haircut.
I used to get this jibe about St George being Turkish from left-wing Celtic friends a lot. He actually lived 7 centuries before Turkic peoples arrived in Anatolia.
I’m surprised the BBC are not celebrating him, given that he’s also patron saint of Palestine. Although there again, he did die in Israel. And he’s also the saint for Russia.
Inform them that St Patrick was British and taken to Ireland as a slave. After you pick up their dropped jaws ask about reparations.
Transition to assimilation, every story begins at the end of another edition
We wish for a happy St George’s day as Google scatters its virtual masthead search page with red roses and a comic-looking dragon.
Obviously there’s no St George and the only dragon apparent in BBC online news is: Can Tales of Kenzara: Zau unlock a new world of video game stories? “Every story begins at the end of another.” These are the words that greet players when they boot up Abubakar Salim’s debut video game… It’s fitting because the British actor, seen in TV series Raised by Wolves and soon to appear in House of the Dragon, is speaking to BBC Newsbeat just days before its big release… a high-profile video game with a black main character is a rare thing…
The only reference to national pride from our BBC today is the sports headline: Booing your own anthem – but don’t panic hereabouts, it’s not as though our national broadcaster is cancelling our traditional Last Night of the Proms (well, not this time anyway) the story is in fact: Booing your own anthem – Hong Kong and a dilemma
In 1978 punk rockers Siouxsie and the Banshees burst into the mainstream with the track: Hong Kong Garden
Harmful elements in the air
Symbols clashing everywhere
Chicken Chow Mein and Chop Suey
Hong Kong Garden takeaway
Enough of the prawn balls, back to the football
The name of Hong Kong’s team changed in 2023 and, amid increasing control of the territory from Beijing, has led to speculation that the days of an independent football scene in the former British colony are numbered.
As Beijing’s control tightened, Hong Kong’s games became one of the few avenues available to locals to express their feelings. (BBC)
Some might say this article by beeboid journo John Duerden provides a certain degree of justificatory argument – via that old trick of whataboutery – in defence of those Scousers who enjoy booing God Save The Queen. One of the lefty tricks of the BBC – under cover of reflecting a range of voices and opinions – is to in fact hone lines of argument for leftists passing them the agreed messages, and furthermore to directly elevate and more widely disseminate those left-wing arguments to the masses.
In 2020 Hong Kong’s legislature also took measures, passing a bill that criminalised disrespect to the anthem – with a maximum prison sentence of three years. (BBC) – which is obviously a bad thing. So don’t ever think about laws to protect any British national symbols from disrespect.
Enter the dragon, Hong Kong… they think it’s all over… it is now
Football fans flocked to buy the last batch of shirts that still had the former Hong Kong logo, before the word “China” was added to the dragon crest. (BBC) – ah, there’s another dragon – not of course St George’s erstwhile opponent – this line about subtle changes to the sybolism displayed on the national sports gear is getting rather near the knuckle: Nike defends St George’s Cross changes to England shirt – ‘It was never our intention to offend’ Controversy erupted after the US sportswear giant revealed it had altered the traditional England flag on the kit (Sky News)
Simon Chadwick, professor of sport and geopolitical economy… thinks the addition of a single word [China] may be the writing on the wall. “I wasn’t at all surprised by the name change,” he says. “It exemplifies what I was saying about it only being a matter of time. It’s part of the transition to assimilation.” (BBC)
Which tends to throw a rather different light on those little alterations to the Cross of St George on the England kit – not so much ‘an interpretation of the flag‘ (Nike) as perhaps ‘part of the transition to assimilation‘
Also in the news: Newspaper headlines: Rwanda flights ‘by July’ and Huw Edwards resigns (BBC headline title to their online press line-up) but Mr AsI rests assured that fellow posters hereabouts will do those stories to death – in an interesting and informative counter-narrative sense, I’m sure.
The jaded eye of this world-weary daily pundit – aside from noting the usual multiple incidence of calm down dears: I love my husband, that’s why I’m divorcing him (Times); Who WAS the British royal who invited Rebel Wilson to tycoon’s drug-fuelled orgy? (Daily Mail); The 11 rules all house guests must follow. From a regular (sometimes cross) host (‘i’) – attention was caught by this from our national broadcaster: Australian PM calls Elon Musk an ‘arrogant billionaire’ in row over attack footage… in an escalating feud over X’s reluctance to remove footage of a church stabbing… Last week Australia’s eSafety Commissioner… threatened X and other social media companies with hefty fines if they did not remove videos… which police have called a terror attack… [Musk] also criticised eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant personally, describing her as the “Australian censorship commissar”. (BBC)
Perhaps news media should be forced by law to stick to stories deemed safe and in the State interest as approved and endorsed by the ruling regime – to wit: Stephen Lawrence: Independent police force to review murder investigation (BBC); Rishi Sunak to pledge more money to support Ukraine… an additional £500m to Kyiv on top of the £2.5bn allocated for this financial year (BBC)
In police news we have further confirmation of the transition from force to service, from The Sweeney to Softly, Softly
‘The police are more emotionally intelligent now’ Sadiq Khan’s plan to make London safer for women (‘i’) – what this notion of emotional intelligence seems to amount to would be cops giving women a sympathetic shoulder to cry on – that’s after they’ve been mugged or raped on the streets of our increasingly lawless capital
Just asking…
Has the UK’s water quality got worse since Brexit? (BBC)
Water firms covering up scale of sewage spills, say Lib Dems (BBC) – and, despite the census, the government is covering up the number of people now resident in Britain who are making all that sewage the BBC, Labour and LibDems seem to get so exercised about.
Elon Musk an arrogant billionaire, eh? Here’s what a REAL arrogant billionaire looks like:
All the woke wreckers and collaborators in institutions, NGOs and the media should live in fear of the backlash, the naming and shaming, the withdrawal of investments, the refusal to buy their products or use their services, legal challenges, protests, boycotts and loud and noisy dissent.
These people are intent on dismantling your society and destroying your way of life…the Great Replacement, the Great Reset are real.
They have launched a war against you…fight back.
If they have to live lives behind walls, security fences and armies of security guards, if they can’t leave their compound, if they can’t get to their island in the Bahamas without meeting a barrage of protest and dissent, if legal challenges strip them of their billions then maybe they’ll stop using those billions, or their positions of power and influence, to play with other people’s lives.
It’ll never happen of course….but you need not just keyboard warriors or a few rabble rousing commentaries on GB News or in the Telegraph, but a massive street movement that so disrupts their cosy cartel that it makes it impossible for them to operate. Disrupting the BBC, the primary mouthpiece for the wreckers and woke radicals, would be a start.
Yuri Andropov, who went on to become the 6th leader of the Soviet Union, was formerly the ambassador to Hungary during the 1956 uprising. According to the historian Christopher Andrew:
“He had watched in horror from the windows of his embassy as officers of the hated Hungarian security service [the Államvédelmi Hatóság (AVH)] were strung up from lampposts. Andropov remained haunted for the rest of his life by the speed with which an apparently all-powerful Communist one-party state had begun to topple.”
Those who seem to hold complete power and be untouchable, whether Communists and Fascists in the 20th Century or Globalists in the 21st Century, would do well to study history.
BBC trying its best to undermine and discredit the Rwanda plan…not that it needs undermining, it’s clearly a PR exercise…pure smoke and mirrors…but still fun to watch the BBC get its knickers in a twist about it.
We heard this morning that the Lords were trying to ‘ensure the saftey’ of asylum seekers being sent to Rwanda…no, they were doing their damnest to put every obstacle in the way of a piece of legislation they hated….but you’d get no idea of that from the BBC.
Then Barbara Plett Usher [who wept when Arafat, terrorist, died] was sent hotfoot to Rwanda to check out what the locals think….all three of them. Lol….after telling us how orderly and crime free Rwanda was she had a clip of one who welcomed the migrants and then one, who wouldn’t give his name as it was so dangerous to show dissent from government policy Usher assures us, who didn’t welcome them…no jobs or resources for them. Odd how he can say that and not be called a racist as he would if he lived here….talking about the same migrants.
Then Usher told us of a camp where migrants were shipped to from Libya…into the safe haven of Rwanda….er…what? They came to the incredibly unsafe and dangerous country of Rwanda for ‘safety’? Hmmmm…someone should tell the Lords….and the UN…oh er wait…but it was the UN that sent them to Rwanda….but Usher didn’t tell us that…she carefully avoided mentioning who sent the migrants from Libya to Rwanda…odd huh?
The BBC…the most trusted and respected news organistation on earth..god knows what the rest are like.
Why are they called UK migrants? Or Britain’s migrants? Are we deporting a group of Devonians to Rwanda?
I am not even sure if I can agree that ‘deportation’ is a factually correct term to use for interlopers, trespassers, intruders.
“BBC rejoices as Britain commits economic suicide in pursuit of Net Zero”- TCW
https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/bbc-rejoices-as-britain-commits-economic-suicide-in-pursuit-of-net-zero/
Absolutely true. There might be some merit in very small inshore wind turbine projects to power isolated communities but trying to run the National Grid that way is pretty stupid. As for offshore wind farms, the installation costs are massive, the maintenance costs are also massive. We’re paying for all this stupidity.
Laughed as Today trailed a piece about Maths and Shakespeare….they had a black woman read out some lines….naturally being so woke, diverse and inclusive…it was terrible…almost unlistenable and unintelligible.
Diversity is great in theory but in practice total arse.
Personally I reckon if Al Murray taught Shakespeare kids would lap it up.
100/1 she’s even heard of iambic pentameters.
At last the bbc has mentioned St Georges day on its webshte
Why is there a 3 month wait before the first plane load get sent to Rwanda. Why not today?
No need to answer as we all know why.
They only need to draw it out until the next election when Starmer will cancel it.
The lawyers and do gooders will soon be brought into play to make sure that nobody will get sent to Rwanda and Sunak will be able to blame them.
It’s all so obvious.
Talk TV on, sound had to go off
For holidays they have replaced the 2 righties , with righty JJ and a hyper lefty woman from Politics Joe called @AvaSantina
#OfcomPleaser
paraphrase ‘migrants dying is the fault of French and British governments wasting time deciding which ones should escort them across the Channel’
Ms Santina here too?
https://order-order.com/2024/04/22/bbc-executive-boasts-of-swanky-italian-escapade-on-fee-payers-dime/
Seems her kind of place.
“Amongst the speakers that have previously attended the festival are Seymour Hersh, Carl Bernstein, Alastair Campbell…”
He does get about.
Ava Santina (not her real name) is likely certifiably insane – she’s had a brush with Douglas Murray where she got satisfyingly slapped.
She’s also an ex James O’Brien staffer recruited by a shady Irish entrepreneur running PoliticsJOE weirdo channel with v.dodgy audience figures.
BBC local news “Rwanda the plan or people WHO HAVE ESCAPED danger in the home countries and have come to the UK in small boats … opposition parties say it’s an unworkable expensive gimmick. Here’s Labour MP Diana Johnson”
Wow that is huge spin ..as it classes CHEATING ECONOMIC migrants in with victims …many are not actual victims
That was Radio Humberside
now Radio Lincolnshire just had Care For Calais#s Steve Smith on
.. the mad ones who encourage Calais campers to cross the Channel
I’m …..Five migrants “die in the channel” ooze the BBC possibly relishing how close it follows on from Sunak’s Rwanda announcement.
Meanwhile their other cheek the Guardian go with the much more emotive… Five migrants “killed in the channel” as if someone nasty, white and right wing forced them onto their rubber ring then threw them overboard.
It’s coming, you know it’s coming….

Lots of things across social media etc celebrating St Georges day.
And the British Broadcasting Corporation, funded by the British people ?.
Nothing. Zip.
But they do fill the UK page with articles such as:
‘Cambridge college returns 18th Century Aboriginal spears’
(Some ‘spears’ that look like children made them but the likes of the BBC have made them into racist symbols)
‘Iraqi father in legal first against BP over son’s death’
I wondered what on Earth it had to do with the UK then realised the BBC had spent a chunk of license fee payers cash doing their own investigation for some reason I cannot fathom. Maybe some BBC staff grew up there.
‘Chat room helps Destiny-Rae, 5, find a new kidney’
Utterly insignificant story but the single-parent mother and baby are black so it’s being played for empathy and to highlight how racist we are that black people have to wait longer. I assume that’s because they won’t carry donor cards – but the BBC don’t go near that.
And a lengthy article entitled:
‘British Asian drag queen Lady Bushra on life, laughs and Bradford’ which is another non-story being pushed on racist/sexist grounds.
And even ‘Fridge-wearing marathon runner gets down on one knee’ makes it to the UK front page in a video clip 100% staged.
But nothing whatsoever about poor old Saint George : ‘the patron saint of racists’ as I expect the BBC staff call him.
Be nice to get BBC Verify onto THIS
Total electric tosspottery
