      Surprise surprise !! So it wasn’t John Smith ? Or David Jones? Wonder if the story will still be on the BBC website tomorrow? ( actually maybe it will be as victim was a black child, had it been a white victim it definitely wouldn’t be )

      You just know that the bBBC will claim that Monzo turned into a murderer because he felt alienated by racist whiteys, so the blood of this poor black kid is on *our* hands.

    Tomorrow is local election voting day, and Friday could see the Tories looking to replace the utterly useless Rishi Washee, although with whom remains to be seen, probably the achingly woke Penny Mourdant just to put the final nail in their coffin.

    It’s too late though because by the time the selection process has wound its way to conclusion, the general election will be upon us. On top of that Rishi Washee threatened to call that election as soon as his position was threatned.

    It might be a Summer General Election.- place your bets.

    We should have a sweepstake as to how many council seats the Tories will lose 426 is my estimate (could be wildly adrift though).

    You couldn’t have a ‘hard border’, said the BBC, because it would destroy the Good Friday Agreement and the IRA would have to come to the rescue in order to defend the ‘peace process’…by bombing and killing once again….the BBC were vey insistent and loud about this….never mind the GFA said nothing about civil border controls for trade and travel purposes…only that the military border posts should be dismantled….and always good that it was the IRA that had the veto on Brexit decisions.

    Oddly not a peep at the moment as the Irish decide there is a border and they will send police there to stop ‘undocumented migrants’ from crossing into their land…..Irish want to create a hard border to stop migrants…..two things that normally generate outpourings of angst and rage from the BBC….and yet silence.

    From the Telegraph….

    ‘Rishi Sunak warns Dublin not to jeopardise peace process by reinstating checkpoints

    A plan by Ireland to send police officers to the border to stop migrants entering the country sparked a furious row between Rishi Sunak and the Irish prime minister on Wednesday.’

    Daniel Anjorin: Man charged with murdering boy in sword attack
    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-68932780

    So EXACTLY as predicted, the entire story about the man who attacked people with a sword was dropped for a couple of days because it turns out he is not a hated English whitey.

    Contrast that with how eager they all were to show us his video the moment the story broke.

    And even now, the BBC only tell us his name. Not that he is Spanish-Brazilian. And more : they don’t even show us his picture again. They show us another one of the small black ‘victim’ he murdered to try and use empathy again to change our emotion from anger to sympathy.

    No vigils and female MP’s demanding the laws are changed to stop this happening again for this one. It’s going straight under the carpet ASAP. Because if they make a big deal about this murder, they open a big can of worms for all the others where the murderer is most definitely not white.

    And then they blame us for causing divisions in society.

    BBC headline:
    ”Horrific’ violence at UCLA after counter-protesters attack pro-Palestinian camp’
    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68937775

    Fox news:
    ‘Riot police at UCLA campus close in after night of violent anti-Israel clashes’

    The BBC report is biased in the extreme : you would think the whole thing is just nasty Israelis attacking peaceful Palestinian protestors.

    There is far more to this story than the BBC are telling us. These ‘counter-protestors’ have come in from outside to confront these people who are supporting the terrorists who butchered 1200 people in their country. They are not ‘counter protestors’.

    Here are other headlines not seen on the BBC:
    ‘Officers in riot gear tear down encampment at anti-Israel demonstration’. 19 arrested.
    ‘NYPD clears anti-Israel encampment at Fordham University/ 15 arrested.’
    ‘Anti-Israel protesters taunt Fordham University administrators, police during demonstration’
    ‘House votes to expand definition of antisemitism amid anti-Israel demonstrations across US’
    ‘NYC Mayor Eric Adams slams universities for letting Palestinian flag fly: ‘despicable”
    ‘Group of 10 anti-Israel protesters arrested at University of South Florida, including one with gun
    ‘NYPD bus splattered with red paint outside Fordham as anti-Israel demonstrations heat up’

    And they are still at it: this is the latest BBC ‘live update’:
    ‘Dov Waxman, a professor of Israel studies at UCLA, was sickened by the scenes on his campus last night – when a violent pro-Israeli group attacked a pro-Palestinian protest camp with no apparent police intervention.’

    Note how they have switched the wording from ‘counter-protestors’ they used earlier. No doubt instructed by a memo disseminated from the commissars to all the quota clones.

    These are ‘outside agitators’ who have had enough.

    This is a picture the BBC use of a noble woman Muslim:
    c29f268b-09e9-46ac-b897-f343a0e08817.jpg

    But look at the placard in the background : ‘All the walls will fall’. That is obviously the new phrase to replace ‘from the land to the sea’ which they aren’t allowed to use.

    Columbia University community ‘shattered’ after police raid
    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68940438

    Goodness me, the BBC are absolutely desperate to make a big story out of these protests and the police breaking them up. Just look at this one from ‘Phil McCausland’. This is world news apparently:

    ‘Students who remained said they were left mystified about plans for their finals and even whether dining services would be brought back fully.’
    Even ‘dining services’ BBC ?. Is that really world newsworthy ?.

    ‘One unidentified speaker at the protest said she was at Hamilton Hall when police “ambushed us. We were tackled and beaten, and my hands were handcuffed so tightly that even lifting my pinky caused extreme harm and excruciating pain”.’

    Beaten ?. Any evidence BBC ?. Extreme harm ???. Did her finger fall off ?. What nonsense – why are the BBC writing emotive rubbish like this ?.

    ‘Meghnad Bose, a 31-year-old journalism graduate student at Columbia University, witnessed the NYPD raid on Tuesday night and said police acted “rough and aggressive” with the protesters.’

    ‘Meghnad’ ??. And another impartial witness from the BBC given a soapbox to the world.

    And look at this:

    ‘He had been barred from leaving the building during the raid, which meant he was unable to get home and finish a term paper.’

    ‘He had left campus to eat, and was not sure when he would eventually write that paper.’

    It’s pure nonsense again. He was barred during the raid maybe, but not at any other time. And if he had left campus, why didn’t he just go home and write ‘that paper’ ??.

    These kind of reports are purely to generate anti-police sentiment among like-minded idiots. It’s utterly irresponsible for the BBC to publish things like this on the world-news front page.

    We do get a rare picture of a group of these protestors. here they are:
    _133259116_gettyimages-2150288307.jpg.webp
    A bit of a commen theme there I think. Not a single one will ever be of use in the real world I’ll wager.

    And here’s the author:
    Dr0gDPoWwAEYFqi.jpg

    Phil is clearly a supporter of Reddit. Reddit is an extreme left-wing forum which is basically full of arrogant, spiteful students who all think they are cleverer than everybody else. Exactly like the troll farm comments any political HYS on the BBC gets flooded with.

    Here’s what one person wrote:
    ‘Saying anything about Trump or Republicans are good would get you downvoted to hell and banned form a subreddit’

    Here are the replies:
    ‘This question seriously comes up on this subreddit weekly and it’s always by some disgruntled conservative user who got downvoted for some shitty opinion. If Reddit is so left wing, they can leave lol’

    ‘Another MAGA dope who doesn’t understand what free speech is. Reddit is a private website. Nobody owes you a voice on reddit just like you don’t owe me a voice in your own home.’

    Says all we need to know about him and them.

    This whole article is intended to discredit the police and intimidate them into not taking action in future. We MUST defund these activist BBC scum.

    ‘I watch my back’: Spike in BBC World Service journalists working in exile
    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-68929462

    ‘The number of BBC World Service journalists working in exile is estimated to have nearly doubled, to 310, since 2020.’

    ‘”We’ve got near record number of journalists in jail, the killing of journalists has reached a high not seen since 2015,” she adds.’

    The reason for this is obvious for anyone with an inclination to look. As we have seen in Afghanistan, Gaza, Ukraine and everywhere else the BBC decide to focus on, they don’t report the news : they are always left-wing activists who shape the narrative to try and socially engineer a country to become left-wing. And surprise surprise, their governments don’t like it because their public bodies are not infested by the leftist cancer.

    As all the bias in the stories above about the terrorist supporting, racist students show beyond doubt.

    I wonder how many women have been arrested and beaten in Afghanistan and other Muslim countries after the BBC spate of extreme feminism was encouraging them to speak out. I notice now they’ve been thrown under a bus and the BBC don’t care one bit. They have been shoved aside by more juicy agenda topics.

    I’m surprised anyone even speaks to the BBC any more. It seems Israel don’t and I often wonder why the Conservatives keep doing so just to allow the extremly unpleasant Keunssberg to snap at them and keep interrupting/talking over them. And then see their negative quotations completely without context in BBC headlines the next day as a result of deliberately leading questions by Kuenssberg.

    Fomenting dissent, organizing activists through social media, promoting student movements, and unleashing domestic unrest on the streets – more of all that later…

    In a rather peculiar sideways thinking showy act of late-in-the-day supposed political balance, our BBC shuns its usual online line-up of the morning’s newspaper frontpages – possibly (as they like to say of Israeli war crimes). Which only serves to stymie Mr AsI’s headline review efforts hereabouts.

    So there’s no minority interest Guardian cover story topping the BBC press pile – with its estimated one third of the circulation of the Times or Telegraph and less than nine per cent of The Sun (Press Gazette’s monthly analysis of ABC national newspaper circulation figures, April 2024)

    But let’s take a look at the Guardian online. What do we know about the Gruan? Well, it’s a very left-leaning organ that acts primarily as a public sector staff moans notice board. The tone is that of the modern left – managerial, highly legalistic and process-obsessed.

    Not for nothing does the sister media our BBC constantly explore the legal possibilities: Israel accused of possible war crime over killing of West Bank boy

    The Guardian online today leads with a doozy of a legalistic process headline: Trawl for unsafe criminal convictions in UK being done by interns – suffice to say the Gruan here ain’t celebrating the job opportunities for junior lawyers.

    Meanwhile, are we possibly falling out of love with the Zelenskiy regime in Ukraine?

    The fight for full press freedom in Ukraine: ‘We can write what we want, but bad actors try to intimidate us’… Rudenko is speaking out against a clumsy campaign of intimidation of journalists that began last autumn, in which staff at the English-language title have been subject, she says, to “undue interest” from the country’s SBU intelligence service… SBU officers had placed hidden cameras in hotel rooms to covertly record journalists at a New Year party. Some reporters had discussed buying drugs and were taking cannabis and MDMA; the footage was released in a smear video… Earlier this month, Yevhen Shulhat, an investigative journalist from Slidstvo.info, who was investigating the purchase of a luxury flat by the wife of an SBU cybersecurity chief, was served with enlistment papers while he was shopping at a supermarket one evening (Guardian)

    Don’t you know there’s a war on? – as characters used to say in the popular BBC TV comedy Dad’s Army. In one memorable scene during an amusing altercation between Captain Mainwaring and the obnoxious air raid warden Hodges, young Private Pike had the classic line: “Shoot him, Captain Mainwaring, you’ve got the right”

    … a man in plain clothes, tentatively identified as working for the SBU, appearing to direct two soldiers who approached Shulhat. “This is using mobilisation as a death sentence for journalists,” Rudenko says. (Guardian) – we take it from that the war’s not going too well then – and fighting age Ukrainian journos would prefer to keep out of it?

    I’m inevitably put in mind of classic world war two movies where Fritz says to Heinz “I hear zee vor is going badly for zee Führer” and Heinz says to Fritz “Shussssh, talk like zat vill get us both sent to zee Russian front”

    The Kyiv Independent was founded in November 2021… Emergency funding of $100,000 was obtained from the European Foundation for Democracy (Guardian)

    The European Foundation for Democracy is a policy centre and a registered EU lobbyist organization based in Brussels, Belgium. Its activities focus on counter-radicalisation, security and the promotion of the European values of democracy and individual freedoms. (Thank you Wiki)

    What 10 Years of U.S. Meddling in Ukraine Have Wrought (Spoiler Alert: Not Democracy) (Real Clear Investigations)

    The Color Revolution is restless. Beginning in the former Soviet republics in the early 2000s, it moved along the coast of North Africa with the so-called Arab Spring in the 2010s, and, into the current decade, has spread further. The ostensible purpose of Color Revolutions—named after the Rose Revolution, Orange Revolution, and Tulip Revolution in Georgia, Ukraine, and Kyrgyzstan, respectively—is to replace authoritarian regimes with Western liberal democracies. American and European intelligence services are often heavily involved in these revolutions, with ambitions not only to spread modern ideologies but also to undermine geopolitical opponents… The West’s favored methods of supporting Color Revolutions include fomenting dissent, organizing activists through social media, promoting student movements, and unleashing domestic unrest on the streets.

      Fed, “On a day When I think discussing politics is not allowed” Have a notion that that rule only applies to General Election day. I could be wrong, of course.

      From the BBC web-site at the last General Election:
      “The BBC, like other broadcasters, is not allowed to report details of campaigning or election issues while the polls are open on Thursday for elections in Scotland, Wales, England and Northern Ireland.
      The BBC is required by electoral law to adopt a code of practice, ensuring fairness between candidates, and that is particularly important on polling day.
      The code of practice is contained in more detailed election guidelines which are written and published for each election, and they include guidance about polling day.
      On polling day, the BBC does not report on any of the election campaigns from 00:30 BST until polls close at 22:00 BST on TV, radio or bbc.co.uk, or on social media and other channels.
      However, online sites do not have to remove archived reports, including, for instance, programmes on iPlayer. Any lists of candidates and the guide to parties’ policies remain available online during polling day.
      • How to follow the local election results
      Coverage of what is happening on the day is usually restricted to uncontroversial factual accounts, such as the appearance of politicians at polling stations, or the weather.
      It tends to focus on giving information that will help voters with the process of going to polling stations.
      Subjects which have been at issue or part of the campaign – or other controversial matters relating to the election – must not be covered on polling day itself; it’s important that the BBC’s output cannot be seen to be directly influencing the ballot while the polls are open.
      The BBC, however, is still able to report on other political events and stories which are not directly related to the elections.
      No opinion poll on any issue relating to politics or the election can be published until after the polls have closed.
      While the polls are open, it is a criminal offence to publish anything about the way in which people have voted in that election.
      From 22:00 BST normal reporting of the election resumes.”

        Murder charge?
        What? after the Home Office (the Muslim Corps) spent years producing legislation banning all sorts of knives and as I recall, swords as well. Did they publicise that legislation in a ‘thousand-and-one’ languages so as to make sure every one understood?

        Currently the Muslim Corps of the Home Office are working assiduously to ban or heavily control Crossbows. The Minister for “Safeguarding” (I kid you not !) said,

        Crossbows are used rarely in violent crime in this country but they can be highly dangerous.

        We’re doing all we can to ensure we have the appropriate measures in place against any risks these potentially dangerous weapons may pose.

        I encourage the public and those in the industry to come forward to share their views so we can have the most accurate picture and take any necessary action to keep our streets safe.

        Whilst crossbow incidents are rare – there were fewer than 10 homicides by crossbow between 2011 and 2021 – it is clear that when used as a weapon, crossbows do pose a risk and the government is determined to ensure any needed safeguards are in place to keep the public safe.”

        Utter nonsense. And I have told them so in no uncertain terms. I asked them why not ban chainsaws, extendable wheel wrenches doubling up as a baton etc etc. I don’t expect a direct answer.

        It proves to me that Muslim Corps Home Office legislation is simply designed for themselves needing no or little positive resistance when they take the country over.

        No, Minister for Safeguarding, you abuse that title as you abuse the indigenous population of the UK

            I found this interesting:

            “don’t say “sharper” say “ability to take an edge”. Sharpness is a measure of how much you exploited that edge.

            Obsidian scalpels are used, as said below, the one molecule edge. You can’t get better than that edge. Plus it is hard. You can put an edge on copper, but it is soft and the edge will roll Even steel can roll. That is what the sharpening stick is for. It isn’t sharpening the knife, it is getting rid of the rolled edge.

    This is a calculated move. Galloway chose Novara to deliver this message because he wants a security lock against left joining WPB – he needs clarity on his strategy, which is to find the populist “diagonal” between left and right and build an oppositional movement on that line.

    This is what happens when media and politics become interchangeable, as one.

      Yes, this day. The first day where no one but no one has made any attempt to convince me to vote for any one candidate. Nothing in the post, no tap on the door zero, zilch. The first in my life where I will go to vote and scrawl across the paper, “Spoilt Ballot”. I have taken out my black permanent marker pen for the purpose so no one counter can be mistaken. I’ll look forward to doing same later in the year.

      Sorry Taffman. I cannot and will not vote Reform. I have repeatedly asked what legislation they would abolish if in power. Not one hint of a reply but for the public consumption? ‘We will stop the boats’, ‘we will exit the ECHR’. But no mention whatever of the necessity to repeal the Human Rights Act 1998 as a first step. No. Farage? – Talks a good talk. Is good grandstanding with the public; Talks tough. But what of the man? Mr Whishy-Whasshy. Utterly indecisive. “Will he, won’t he” resume politics? Imaging that indecision as a PM figure? – should I stop the boats or should I follow my predecessors and lie about stopping them……………

      These days, a Corporal Frazer would not utter those immortal words, “We’re Doomed”. No a 2024 character would say, “We are totally f*c*ed”. That’s the truth of the matter.

                Just thought of a genius solution to your no lighting on motorways issue.

                Our village is about to get the barking WEF 15 minute neighbourhood treatment: 20mph, throttle-points, speed-humps, tactile paving etc etc.

                ‘pparently each speed hump has to have a new street light so drivers can see the hump.

                So there you are, campaign for speed humps on motorways and you will get your lighting! Even more comically the highway authorities will probably go and do it!

                    Zeph it was the middle of winter and I was driving home on the A14 in the dark. Right in front of me a Polish lorry driver left hooked a BMW and swiped him off the road. The car went up in the air and somersaulted before crashing down into a culvert. There was no hard shoulder. The lorry driver stopped down the road and like a mad fool I stopped behind him with hazards on.

                    I ran back to the BMW car expecting to find dead occupants. I found the driver unconscious slumped over the wheel. As my eyes grew used to the dark I then noticed a baby in the front in a rear facing child seat apparently asleep. I then needed to work out how to undo the child seat harness in a hurry. I was worried about a fire and I opened the passenger door.

                    After a while the driver stirred much to my relief. It was then that I noticed another child in the back, eyes wide open, I will never forget the look of terror on his face.

                    Eventually the police arrived after my call and I left them my phone number as a witness. They never did call me.

    The BBC always targets social media as the source of all the ills in the world especially ‘conspiracy theories’ and extremism/terrorism. It will chuck in ‘mental health’ if the terrorist is Muslim though it tried to deny that Breivik was mentally ill…the BBC wanted to portray his terrorism as a result of deliberate thought and hatred whipped up by right-wing commentators on social media…not mental illness. The BBC is also very concerned about how social media grooms youngsters into self-harming or ‘incel’ groups….but it isn’t so concerned when social media is used to prey on young kids for certain other purposes that the BBC approves of…such as transitioning.

    Whether you believe this narrative, that without social media we’d be in a safer and happier place, you might ask why the same narrative isn’t applied to trans ‘extremism’.

    Read this extract from an article in ‘Unherd’ about radicalisation of ‘terrorist’ teenagers and ask if the similar conditions and motivators don’t apply to people who want to change sex…

    ‘Looking at the cold data, then, the overwhelming picture that emerges is not of dangerous masterminds, but of chaotic and cretinous loners immersed in an infantile online demi-monde of gore, murder fandom and sectarian hatred. Many grew up in troubled families and suffer from mental health problems, particularly autism.’

    The BBC in fact actively works against such a narrative….for instance saying that mental illness doesn’t cause the desire to transition but is a result of that desire being suppressed and oppressed. Don’t ask questions just affirm the new gender. Of course that doesn’t account for the autistic trransitioners…or indeed those with traumatising lives.

    When very, very young children are being seduced, groomed and persuaded into transitioning and taken down a very traumatic pathway, both mentally and physically, that could be enormously damaging and certainly has dramatic consequences you might think that there would be some questions about who, what and why are seducing, grooming and persuading. It seems though that the BBC prefers not to explore that, not to ask questions and not to express concerns about why these kids suddenly want to change sex.

    Not only could it be social media but it’s the schools, the mainstream media and indeed politicians who are essentially screwing up a generation of kids for their own ideological reasons…or just plain stupidity or vacuous virtue signalling…not actually giving a damn about the kids…just not wanting to be thought ‘hateful’ by questioning the new trend…and it is a trend, a social contagion that has more to do with kids being lured in because their friend has done this and it snowballs…and nobody says ‘stop’.

    Transitioning is seen as an unalloyed good whilst becoming a ‘radical’ is utterly bad…which is why social media grooming of young children to persuade them they are in the wrong body, along with reinforcement of that idea by schools and media etc, is apparently acceptable but grooming of others for other purposes on the web is to be condemned.

    I quite like this song, based on supposed racial injustice against a boxer, koowns commonly as “Hurricane” real name Carter.

    Util you read further, into the ins and out of the facts. Then it becomes more confusing.

    Carter was born in Clifton, New Jersey in 1937, the fourth of seven children.[3] He later admitted to a troubled relationship with his father, a strict disciplinarian; at the age of eleven, he was sentenced to a juvenile reformatory for assault, having stabbed a man who he alleged had tried to sexually assault him.[4] Carter escaped from the reformatory in 1954 and joined the United States Army.[3] A few months after completing basic training at Fort Jackson, South Carolina, he was sent to West Germany.[5] While in Germany, Carter began to box for the Army.[5] He was discharged in 1956 as unfit for service, after four courts-martial.[6] Shortly after his discharge, he returned home to New Jersey, was convicted of two muggings and sent to prison.[7]

    “Of course filmmakers have always taken dramatic license, simplifying history and conflating characters and events for narrative purposes. They defend their interpretations by emphasizing that their films are not documentaries but vivid adaptations of complex stories that retain the essence if not the literal truth of important events that would otherwise be unknown to the huge audiences that movies attract.

    Whatever its intentions, ”The Hurricane” falls into the category of history contorted for dramatic effect.

    A major fabrication is the creation of a racist Javert-type detective who hounds Mr. Carter from the age of 11 until he finally ensnares him in the triple homicide. The film brands the phantom detective as primarily responsible for framing Mr. Carter.

    The actual story is more harrowing because it exposes an underlying frailty in a criminal-justice system that convicted Mr. Carter, not once but twice. The convictions were obtained not by a lone, malevolent investigator but by a network of detectives, prosecutors and judges who countenanced the suppression and tainting of evidence and the injection of racial bias into the courtroom.

    The film also sterilizes Mr. Carter’s history before his arrest for murder. He is characterized as a nearly model citizen who overcame persecution as a juvenile and remade himself as a boxer and civil rights advocate. What is omitted is that Mr. Carter served four years in prison as an adult for three muggings, crimes that later tarnished him as potentially violent and damaged his cause in the murder case.

    And while the film would have audiences believe that Mr. Carter was a teetotaler, he never denied taking part in an occasional pub crawl and, although married, having a romantic fling. One of those night owl excursions enmeshed him in the murders, a fact obscured in the movie.”

    The footage show youngsters being pulled from the mob and they mainly seem to be girls around 18 years old and probably only there to sample the atmosphere and get some vibes with no real understanding of what they are supporting.

Earlier that year the Verkhovna Rada (Ukrainian parliament) had overwhelmingly approved finalizing the agreement;[”

    Successive Ukrainian governments in the 2000s sought a closer relationship with the European Union (EU).[47][48] The government of President Viktor Yanukovych had been negotiating an association agreement with the European Union since 2012.[49] Such a comprehensive trade agreement with the EU would have impacted Ukraine’s trade agreements with Russia, the latter being Ukraine’s biggest trade partner at the time.

    The EU was willing to offer €610 million ($838 million) in loans,[55] but Russia was willing to offer $15 billion,[55] as well as cheaper gas prices.[55] In addition, the EU demanded major changes to Ukraine’s regulations and laws, but Russia did not stipulate regulatory or legal adjustment of such nature or scale.[54] Russia also applied economic pressure on Ukraine and launched a propaganda campaign against the EU deal.

    After WWII, officials in Washington sent scores of agents to their deaths in a misguided effort to create an uprising against Moscow.

    Now, nearly 75 years later, Ukraine burns once again. With Russia’s invasion dragging into its third month, eyes have begun turning to what may come next. It’s clear by now that there’s no returning to status quo ante. Despite Ukraine’s remarkable showing thus far, it appears that a new dividing line will sever part of the country yet again. A new Iron Curtain has already descended. All that remains is to discern the actual dividing line.”

    In yesterday’s European Scrutiny Committee meeting in Westminster, it was revealed that the Schengen limit of 90 out of 180 days will likely apply to British citizens visiting Gibraltar should a treaty be agreed. Furthermore, the Schengen controls at the airport could result in the denial of access to Gibraltar of British citizens byFrontex officials, although residents and military personnel may have different rights. In a ninety minute meeting chaired by Sir Bill Cash, David Rutley MP, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Americas, Caribbean and the Overseas Territories), Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office and Robbie Bulloch, Director Gibraltar Negotiations Taskforce, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office were grilled on the as yet to be agreed, terms of the impending treaty.

    lol…BBC ‘reports’…

    ‘The vehicle was pictured with a flat tyre’

    er…the tyre was slashed by pro-open borders extremists.

    Telegraph…

    ‘The Home Secretary has insisted protesters will not stop migrants being removed from hotels after a group slashed the tyres of a coach set to transport them to the Bibby Stockholm barge. ‘

    Like the BBC headline this morning…

    ‘Palestinian boy pictured lying on ground’

    Oh…no…the BBC headline was more like…

    ‘Israeli troops savagely murder innocent Palestinian boy in an horrific war crime.’

    Amazing how the BBC pronounce the death of the boy as an Israeli war crime when there’s been no investigation and no trial….but in the BBC’s own view, backed by a UN official’s personal opinion…it’s a war crime…a judgement now broadcast around the world. Can trust those UN people can’t we….the same organisation that continually targets Israel and whose employees work for Hamas and indeed took part in Oct 7.

    Always great when a ‘news’ organisation sets it self up as judge, juror and executioner.

      BBC verify that BBC are not verifying their own headlines and send Marianne Spring to Hawaii to investigate with Gary Lineker who says Qatar is safe for gays.

    The BBc dramatically declaring a ‘possible war crime’ is rubbish….their own evidence rubbishes their claim.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cw07wgrwzywo

    ‘The evidence we found has prompted Ben Saul, UN special rapporteur on human rights and counter-terrorism, to say the death of Adam appears to be a “war crime”.’

    They say the fire was indiscrimnate….

    ‘Another legal expert, Dr Lawrence Hill-Cawthorne, described the use of lethal force as “indiscriminate”.’

    …but it was clearly directed at an immediate threat….a person with an explosive device..you can see him trying to ignite the device but the BBC narrative says it is ‘unclear’ what he is doing…the BBC’s own description of events and the graphic show how the boy was caught in fire directed at the bomb thrower…with the most shots directed to the left not the boy…you can see in the video that the boys were waiting for the convoy…which is why one of them was videoing events…

    23a890e0-086a-11ef-b9d8-4f52aebe147d.png.webp

    Always unfortunate when people get caught up in shooting events but it happens all the time in war zones….especially when they turn out to spectate their older firends or relatives attacking the army. It’s not a good, low risk spectator sport.

    Quite clearly the BBC has rushed to judgement and broadcast to the world a dangerous anti-Israeli black propaganda piece of misinformation shaped purely by their own prejudices and desire to demonise the Israelis.

    BBC News kills Jews.

    Blocking of road by protesters:

    A surprise appearance of Marxi’s brother. He seems such a lovely man. Nothing to do with the protest of course.

    None of this activity is paid for by outside malicious agents such as Saint Soros.

    These are all lovely people including the ones who slashed the tyres of the coach.

    Just one thing. Would it not be easier to stop the boats on the French coast in the first place to avoid this circus.

    “Home Secretary James Cleverly said in a post on X: “Housing migrants in hotels costs the British taxpayer millions of pounds every day.”

    Thanks to The Home office , Border Force and a weak government. All very good reasons to change the government when the next general election comes.

      The first duty of the government is to keep citizens safe and the country secure. The Home Office has been at the front line of this endeavour since 1782. As such, the Home Office plays a fundamental role in the security and economic prosperity of the United Kingdom.

          New word! “Malfeasance is an act that is illegal and causes physical or monetary harm to someone else. Malfeasance is intentional conduct that is wrongful or unlawful, especially by officials or public employees.”

    The geniuses at the WHO have just decided that Covid is spread through the air in a new report:

    Colds, Flu and Covid Are Mainly Spread Through the Air, WHO Report Finds

    https://dailysceptic.org/2024/05/02/colds-flu-and-covid-are-mainly-spread-through-the-air-who-report-finds/

    This completely reverses their previous advice. We are in ‘safe hands’ with the WHO. It means all the stuff about keep 1m distance was complete warlocks.

    TWatO Watch #1 – clear evidence of BBC Bias and BBC ‘over-manning’

    Little bits and pieces are let slip by Beeboids that conclusively prove that they are biased as well as having too many personnel on the payroll. James Cook let slip that he and John Swinney wre teenage members of the Scottish Nationalist Party. You will not find that in James Cook’s Wiki page! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Cook_(broadcaster)

    Then there is the overmanning issue. More evidence provided courtesy of James Cook, Calum Watson and Humza Yousaf here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c72p91kznz8o. Far too many people on the BBC payroll. They could cut staff, at a guess, by twenty-five to thirty-three per cent. Viewers and listeners probably would not notice but Faisal Islam [BBC Economics Editor] would have to turn up for work a bit more.

      One of the fun parts of the case of the missing Myska is again the activist crowd noting colleague support, or in hers again lack of.

      Seems Gary got the love as she gets the shaft.

      Maybe it’s a BBC thing.

      Certainly Andrew is a rare voice to call out what does seem very extreme behaviour being at the least tolerated.

      BBC will cut to end … Least we forget how it all works … videos, words, pictures … you don’t get to choose the arrangement …

      Chaos as police stop Hungary migrant train – Gavin Hewitt – BBC -Sep 2015 @53s
      “… the a really distressing incident happened. A women who was carrying a small baby began crying for help (photo of lady carrying baby). One of her companions tried to help her (photo of man with women on track, riot police reaching towards them) Somehow there became a push and a shove with the police. She ended up on the railway lines (by the male refugee dragging her and the baby to the floor, but this is not said) with the riot police trying to pull her back, and this of course inflamed all the other people…”
      -Gavin Hewitt – Sep 2015

      Watch the video and the male refugee (companion trying to help?) drags the women and baby to the floor, by force.

      Even the Mirror (03Sept2015) says “… this refugee couple cradle their tiny baby, after throwing themselves (NO! Male refugee drags women and baby onto train tracks) on train tracks as police try to take them to migrant camps in Hungary”

      Gets better. Two days (05Sept2015) later the Mirror then report it as
      “Refugee who dragged pregnant wife and baby son onto train track did it because ‘death would be better’”

      1. BBC Version uses words and pictures to hide the video version
      2. The Mirror shows the video but uses words to tell a different version

      Can I suggest a little story – “Male refugee forces pregnant women refugee holding child down onto a train track, police drag him away for her safety? Riot police then lift women with child off track with tender arms.”
