    Lots of rumours on X that Susan Hall has beaten Sad Dick. I’m not one to gossip so watch this space.

    I Kissed A Girl
    Dannii Minogue has revealed she “identifies as queer” as she launched the UK’s first ever lesbian dating show I Kissed A Girl. After being asked if she was attracted to women, the Australian singer and presenter shared her feelings ahead of the BBC programme’s debut this month.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/mediapacks/i-kissed-a-girl-meet-the-girls

    smashes stereotypes, and promises more twists and turns than ever.

    “The show is a step forward for the LGBTQ+ community and will hopefully help others have the courage to come out and be true to themselves.”

    Apologies if this 4-day-old story on the Beeb’s webshite has been mentioned already – but I’ve only just read the appalling article titled “Invisible in our own country”: Being Muslim in Modi’s India. As usual it portrays Muslims as the perennial victims being a minority in a Hindu majority country.

    No mention of the documented victimisation of Christians, Hindus and Sikhs in the neighbouring countries of Pakistan and Bangladesh – when the shoe’s on the other foot and Muslims are the overwhelming majority it’s another story.

    One comment towards the end made me laugh: “Almost everyone has picked a country where they would run to when the inevitable happens. Some have got in touch with uncles settled in Canada, the US, Turkey or the UK, if they ever need asylum.” Notice how none of them want to live in Pakistan!

    There’s also a picture of the usual screaming and baying mob of Muslim men with the caption “Muslim activists at a rally to promote communal harmony in Kolkata in 2022.” It’s curious that they promote harmony in an identical fashion to how they rally whenever a non-Muslim blasphemes their peace-loving ideology.

    In short, the piece is your usual BBC bullshit.

      > TV commercials for myocarditis for kids on TV.

      Better tell the anychess about myocarditis because if you go to the NHS website and type myocarditis into the search box the NHS has never heard about it.

      Gender Dysphoria? That is another matter.

      It’s all going to plan as we head for the third world war between a revitalised Christian fundamentalism and Islam backed by China and Russia. Trump will win the election with the help of the Christian Zionists who will insist on backing Israel to the hilt, as more and more Islamic attacks (mostly false flags) start happening in the West. It will probably kick off with the start of the Olympic Games in Paris where billions will be watching. Europe and the UK will be seeing a fair share of MI7-inspired attacks over the coming year so be prepared and keep away from the big slum holes called cities.

    I think if you want a clear example of how politicians lie / spin try the line the blue labour rubbish tried to explain losing seats in the local council votes – ‘they were coming down from a general election high ‘…. Yeah right ….

          However a science report does say there has been a big increase in actual cardiac events in the crowd.
          I suppose all stadiums have defibrillators, now anyways.

    Here we go, my favourite theme: BBC finding kidults whining that their investment went down instead of up.
    People who bought council housing built with faux concrete.

    “RAAC concrete house was meant to be our forever home”

    ‘Jim says he got a letter from the council saying he was “on his own” ‘

    You bought the house, what are you writing to the council for?

    • StewGreen says:

      Did Georgia Roberts the BBC Westminster Correspondent, suddenly decide to write about these houses in Scotland off her own back ?

      The article ends by quoting 2 SNP politicians
      so I suggest they helped her.

      There is this line
      “Peter Drummond, the chair of practice for the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland, said RAAC was commonly understood in the UK to have a design life of no more than 30 years and concerns about defects first arose in the 1980s”
      .. What’s that ? architects saying, “don’t sue us, its design life is only 30 years”
      It’s interesting that woman says her house was replaced in 2004
      yet the family of the man who is complaining only bought their house in 2003
      so they should have been aware for years about the problem.

    ITV Calendar region chief political reporter tweets about Labour
    “Results starting to show they can’t afford to ignore waning support from Muslim voters”
    .. https://twitter.com/CharanpreetTV/status/1786286968675893488

    I looked her up cos she was coming across as very biased, as caught up in a dream that Labour are trouncing the Tories in our area.
    “Look at the results map, the big story is there’s no blue at all now”
    .. well hang on only one square in the entire map has changed, Grimsby
    and that is not from blue to red
    It was blue cos Tories had an overall majority
    and now it’s grey as they spilled down to only being the main party 24 seats vs Labour who only have 19.
    Both Humberside PCC and the Lincs PCC have stayed Tory.
    which she only quickly mentioned
    There was another change in something which just touches our area.
    The new created job, Mayor of North Yorkshire has gone to Labour
    she tweeted a sneer about Rishi being afraid to show his face in his own constituency.

    The main story fir the PCC vote was OMITTED
    I thought it was weird the prog chose to not mention the actual tally of votes

    The turnout didn’t fall by 20% or 30%
    it had fallen by 85% !

    In 2021 130K voted
    in 2024 just 20K voted
    … that’s a huge difference.

    I notice that the reporter and her teams tweets ..are almost unnoticed, she’s lucky to get 2 Likes.

          I briefly lived in North Finchley back in the late 80’s and worked in the City. Loved the job, loved the transport links, mostly loved the people I bumped into. My (English) wife and I went in 2008, it was like going to a foreign country. She’d never been before but had lived in Singapore and Morocco and it seemed no different to her.
