    Hainault: Boy, 14, killed in sword attack
    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-68927027

    This story is an excellent example of just how racially biased the BBC, Guardian and other Left-leaning MSM have become. They have no fear about how far they push it any longer. Nobody dare complain because THEY will be labelled as the racists.

    I don’t recall seeing photos and videos of a blade attacker in the very opening articles of a story for a long time. Can it really be a conincidence that he is also white ?. Especially as we have observed this kind of racist bias here many times in the past.

    This one has gone through the roof with both Khan and Sunak releasing statements. This before they even know who did it or why.

    Meanwhile on the Evening Standard crime page, I see 5 other stories about murders by BAME. Not a single one to be seen on the BBC.

    And just watch how quickly this story wil disappear if he’s any kind of immigrant.

    How many times have we seen this racist bias by the BBC now ?. What did happen to Sashsa Johnson anyway ?. Her story was huge but dropped the instant they learned it wasn’t whitey who shot her.

    Case dropped against ‘traumatised’ former Met officer
    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ceq3xw37jdqo

    ‘Former superintendent Novlett Robyn Williams, 59, was accused of failing repeatedly to comply with her sex offender notification requirements.’

    Believe it or not, the case has been dropped because she is extremely upset with her ‘legal ordeal’. No other reason whatsoever.

    ‘Judge Richard Marks KC said the mental health report made “sad and unhappy reading”.’

    ‘He said he could “well imagine her being completely traumatised by the conviction”, adding: “Nobody could describe her as being a sex offender in the true meaning of that expression.”‘

    ‘But added: “As far as I am concerned, she leaves the court with no stain on her character.”‘

    Just in case you are wondering, here’s what she looks like. A rising star in the Met who we only now discover has severe mental issues:
    6a759460-070b-11ef-b2ce-15f024debdd3.jpg.webp

    One can only wonder if the treatment would have been the same if she was a white male.

    Southern Lebanon: BBC sees air strike destruction in deserted towns
    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-68927288

    The BBC chasing empathy using Muslim victims again.

    And again without any real inclination or interest to examine why. We get the one-liner that it’s because of Hezbollah terrorists – but that’s only because they have to. And it shows.

    ‘As the BBC team was filming, what seemed to be Israeli drones could be heard in the sky. Moments later, plumes of thick black smoke appeared in the distance, an apparent Israeli strike. It was not possible to know what had been hit.’
    Deliberately written to blame Israel without actually saying it was them. Since when was ‘seemed to be’ a valid claim for any kind of proper journalist ?.

    Then of course it is pure empathy focussing on individual ‘victims’ and their heartbreaking stories about how they cannot go home because of Israel. I fully expect the vast majority of them support the terrorists as do the people in Gaza. But the BBC don’t go anywhere near telling us that.

    Meanwhile the UN peacekeeping force why by definition has utterly failed has this to say:
    ‘”We see many people are tired of the situation on this side of the border and on the other side as well. I think it’s time for peace,” he says.’
    Oh – is that enough reason ?. Ranks up there with Judi Dench’s reason to Remain : ‘Isn’t it just better if we are together ?’.

    It’s always the same with the Left : if it suits their agenda it’s all about the agressors. If that argument doesn’t have a leg to stand on (as in this case) they just focus on empathy for the victims.

    Totally pathetic and as far from what the media are supposed to do as you can get.

    Lets see who wrote this lopsided rubbish. Another MSN and Yahoo veteran who seems to exclusively report about Muslim victims:

      . . . .

      Open drug use and increasing anti-social behaviour have left residents of St Austell “exasperated”. Graphic photos on social media have led to a petition being set up to “formally address the heroin problem”. We went to Cornwall’s largest town to talk to people about the situation.

      There are “shoplifters and drug addicts everywhere”, according to a retail worker in the high street, and extra police have been drafted in.

    As previously noted hereabouts, some white man is on the naughty step because he has done something very bad with a weapon type that’s soon to be on our ever-lengthening banned list.

    So as Victorian poet and playwright Robert Browning once wrote: “God’s in His heaven— All’s right with the world!”

    And as the low circulation Guardian once again secures top spot in the BBC online press line-up – our BBC breathlessly relays, re-ephasizes, illustrates, highlights and underscores the approved headlines:

    Almost all of Wednesday’s front pages are dominated by the news that a 14-year-old boy was killed after an attacker armed with a sword went on the rampage in Hainault, north-east London. The Guardian has the headline “22 minutes of horror” (BBC) – further comment would seem superfluous

    – except to say the BBC’s online news map of the Ukraine war (last updated 21 February) has now completely disappeared from the featured items under the War in Ukraine clickable tab – sadly, gone the way of the Daily Express now lost and lamented “United with the People of Ukraine” masthead motto

    …oh, and the BBC have a new major news theme clickable tab: India Election – is if we’re interested

    ‘I could not protect her’: A dad mourns his child killed in the Channel
    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-68930088

    So either this man has gone straight to the BBC or the BBC have actively sought him out in order to produce yet another 100% empathy article which reports everything this Iraqi illegal immigrant tells them as gospel truth.

    Here’s the news BBC : he will lie as easily as stab you in the back. You are the most gullible of idiots. This story has one single solution : stop the boats. The only way to do that is to take them back to France so these people know they are risking their lives for nothing. They will ALL instantly stop if we do that.

    But the BBC don’t go anywhere near any of the truths behind these immigrants. We are never told how most are young, male economic migrants who dump their passports and mobile phones as soon as the UK rescue ship is in sight.

    This article has no actual news content whatsoever. It’s nothing but virtue-signalling empathy from people who live in a false reality bubble. Of course it’s tragic the little girl was suffocated by the others on the boat. Why did none of them help her ?.

    We would get a much better idea of what we are importing if the BBC focused on things like that.

          The Today Programme from 8 a.m. confirmed why I’m right not to listen to it any more than very occasionally. The lead story in the headlines was the drowned 7-year-old (Sarah Hashimi) and then we had about 15 min’s from 08:10 on this story and people-smuggling more generally.

          Why is this even UK news, let alone the number one item? The father, whose daughter was born in Belgium, put her in danger by his decision to get on a boat illegally and it was the selfish people cramming onto it which led to her death. It is nothing to do with UK and occurred outside of it.

          What sickens me is the focus on one individual case, when many more people are being killed right now in Ukraine, Africa, Gaza, etc. No big questions are asked, such as the effect on the “host” countries of (potentially unlimited) immigration by anyone who “just wants a better life” or education for their kids. It’s all emotion, with the wet useless Justin Webb failing to dig deeper.

          It all reminds me of the Alan Kurdi drowning a few years ago. Our gov’t was not explicitly blamed this time (it was people smugglers) but the implication is clear that “something must be done” [passive voice, of course!] which, translated, means the UK tax-payers will need to fork out even more money to put right other people’s problems. This is open borders internationalism for you: no limit to the supposed moral liability of our people for everyone else.

          I’m sick of the BBC’s emotional blackmail and lies, always taking at face value the words of criminals and liars, and never joining the dots to show the pattern.

    Just been browsing the BBC site looking for some picture of these ‘anti-semetic’ students who are protesting at all these US universities. By ‘anti-semetic’ we mean ‘racist’ of course, but we don’t use the nasty word when it’s against the Jews for some reason I can’t fathom.

    And much to my amazement, I was unable to find any ‘area shots’ where I can see large groups of protestors and the demographic of the people involved.

    Instead it’s all picture of the police or close-ups of individual protestors (usually white girls). It all instantly reminded of all the looting by the BLM ‘protestors’. We rarely got any pictures at all of the actual criminals doing the theiving. We just got pictures of the police dealing with it.

    This is exactly the same racist cover-up by the MSM. BBC included because they are right up there with the worst of them : CNN, MSN etc. Not a single jounralistic ethic between them.

      Aside from the lowest pay in the Western world, the political class can lose their jobs every 5 years, and whilst I agree there are probably twice the amount the UK needs.

      Failure to pay the going rate results in the Islamisation of the country, which many people say is preferable to paying politicians a reasonable salary.

    If you can make the journey from Rwanda or nearby country, to London for around this cost and then get free board and lodging for a while AND then be given £3000 by the UK government I.e gifted by the taxpayer to make the return journey, netting over £2000 in the process, money which will go a long way in most of Africa, then why wouldn’t you?
    The UK social services and immigration system must be the laughing stock of the world, and the spineless Tories, afraid of being labelled uncaring by the Leftoid MSM are to blame.

    ‘Horrific violence’ on LA campus after police clear New York protest
    https://www.bbc.com/news/live/world-us-canada-68924299?src_origin=BBCS_BBC

    The ‘horrific violence’ in this case is firecrackers. Horrific violence by the people these protestors are supporting is shooting women through the face to take it off as another humiliation after raping them.

    And the BBC are VERY quick to blame pro-Israel supporters. Straight away we get:
    ‘On social media, there are reports that pro-Israel demonstrators started attacking the pro-Palestinian camp in the night.’
    Reports by who BBC ?. Any evidence they ARE pro-Israel protestors at this point ?.

    Looking around the net, some sites are claiming these are agitators who have come in to start some violence. And who are the ones who are most likely to do that – posing as pro-Israel protestors ?. Antifa ?. BLM ?. All credible options but the BBC will avoid that subject until there is proof.

    Get the police in with Tasers and arrest the whole lot.

    He is charged with two counts of publishing an image in support of a proscribed organisation, specifically Hamas, contrary to section 13 of the Terrorism Act.

    PC Adil, based in Calderdale, is currently suspended from West Yorkshire Police. He is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court tomorrow.ENDS –

    It’s a disgusting example of cowardice and expediency on the party of the government when they should be returning them to the country they claim to originate from.

    “Who is the suspect? A 36-year-old man was arrested at the scene. He’s yet to be questioned by police because he’s in hospital for injuries sustained when he crashed a van into a house – apparently before the attacks.”

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-england-london-68926446

    If you’ve seen the videos, he’s running around, jumping fences, climbing on to roofs, wielding a sword etc.
    But we’re meant to believe he suddenly needs hospital treatment for prior vehicle crash injuries.

    Maybe police gave him a good kicking or something.

    How do they know he’s 36 if they’re yet to question him?

    R5 just now on the Iraqi channel girl —

    Naga responds to a listener complaining that we rarely get to hear background details of migration amidst all the ‘story’ and seeks to address this. In a translated excerpt, the girl’s father describes having his asylum claim rejected 14 times from Belgium, Sweden and Finland. Not once; 14 times.

    Naga’s not interested why. Nor is the BBC Paris correspondent, who says he spent a week on this item. Back to the emotional manipulation then.

    I wonder how the population of Rwanda are feeling about having tens of thousands of failed asylum seekers dumped on them.

    First of all, it’s not very nice when your Country is used as a sort of punishment place. It’s like the naughty corner when you’ve been misbehaving.
    It’s being used as a threat to try and stop all the Doctors and Scientists from jumping onto a rubber inflateable to get to their benefit and home providers here.
    A threat means it must be a rotten place to be sent to so don’t dare to try and come here.
    It’s like a civil servant in London being threatened to be sent to the Orkneys or Middlesborough as a punishment posting.

    Once they are there (if it ever happens) you can bet the Rwandans will be claiming some kind of payments long after the ‘asylum seeker’ has upped and off towards Sweden or Calais (or maybe popped home for a holiday to the place he is saying wants to kill him)

    We will be getting lots of lifetime hospital cases in exchange from Rwanda as part of the agreement and these will go straight onto the nhs treatments lists with multiple health issues from cleft palates to cancers and other expensive treatments.
    At least all the ones coming over the Channel are fit and healthy young men not requiring any nhs treatments.

    We are getting the worst of all the possible options and nothing the government is doing will decrease the numbers flooding over to us.

    So then, we see Rwanda as a shithole place (but have to say it’s fantastic) so which is it.

    If it’s a success (money spinner) for Rwanda there will be many others queuing up to join in.
    Sudan, Iran, Yemen for example. Just send the Iranians to Afghanistan and the Afghans to Iran and Bob’s your Uncle.

      I think it is inevitable that given the scale of enrichment, British Police in certain areas are going to have to carry firearms as a matter of routine.
      OK it’s a matter of pedantry but to be a sword a bladed weapon needs to have some form of handguard and this thing doesn’t. It looks like one of the cheap ornamental Samurai type things but it’s a small one. Had it been used against a real sword I expect it would have fallen apart very quickly.

      They can still be sharpened, and clearly lethal and I don’t suppose when you are on the pointy end you very much care what it is.

      Here is someone I watch from time to time as yes I do own a real one and learning how to use them is great excercise for keeping fit.

    The immigrants make their way north, having no desire to assimilate to French culture, but continuing to demand a First World standard of living, even as they flout laws, do not produce, and murder French citizens, such as factory bosses and shopkeepers, as well as the ordinary people who do not welcome them. They are also joined by the immigrants who already reside in Europe, as well as various left-wing and anarchist groups. Across the West, more and more migrants arrive and have children, rapidly growing to outnumber whites.

    The appalling BBC.
    The appalling UK immigration non-system.

    The BBC go large on the death of a 7 year old on a cross channel rubber ferry last week.
    Extended first item on the 6 pm BBC news. With a reporter ‘on the beach’.i

    The father came from Iraq in 2009. He married and had kids. The 7 year old was born in Belgium but lived nearly all her life in Sweden.

    He was denied asylum 14 times, in Belgium, Finland, and Sweden.

    So they decided to chance it and come to the UK. I wonder why?

    Could it be that the extreme left have taken over the Home Office, government, immigration and social service systems? And families like this just know that the pathetic uk system, armed to the teeth with endless refugee pressure groups and solicitors like Leigh Day, will cave in and allow them to stay?

    Proof positive of why people come here. Because they absolutely know we are a soft touch.

    Do have your hankies out? The BBC want you to.
    And we have. But not for the reason they wish.

    Our hankies are for ordinary working class indigenous UK taxpayers. Who pay for it all and yet are always ignored.
