Fed, (and anyone else caught up in our crapital city), come and move down this way – The Weald of Kent has some fabulous pubs, a lifestyle to breathe for and also some lovely views of a real England!
P.S.
Tower Hamlets was pretty dire…? Did they need ID…? Surely not…
Whatever. If the outer London boroughs can’t be bothered to vote Khan out solely because of Ulez It’m still hoping that Al Beeb/SkyNonNews et al will show a newspaper headline on their paper review programme of
“Fed, (and anyone else caught up in our crapital city), come and move down this way – The Weald of Kent has some fabulous pubs, a lifestyle to breathe for and also some lovely views of a real England!”
Probably why Lord Nigel Farage lives just on top of it….when he’s not visiting his mucker President Trump.
Peter , I’m able to spend time in the UK and my secret bunker somewhere sunny – every time I come back I am reminded what a third world tip the political class has made Londonistan – and how foreign I feel in what used to be my country .
One day I might just book a single ticket ….. because Britain has gone …
Scrobie, Peter and Fed, I still miss the City of my birth and given the right circumstances would face a difficult decision: stay in Kent or return to the Capital, perhaps somewhere central in the Barbican or the City of London. I gather some of the houses in the CoL are being returned from offices and wine bars to residential dwellings.
All you men, I used to live in London flats//hovels/’pads’ etc., in the sixties, and there was never any of the angst, terror, (except for the Krays and the Richardsons, maybe a few skinheads), and certainly nobody thought of a ‘religion of death’ getting in the way of a good time to work hard and get paid well, and also get a gallon down by 10.30pm!
I guess I’d miss all that too, if London had been my home, but I always came home each weekend, as the future Senora O’Blene was waiting patiently for the sound of the Fiat 500 doing a steady 30mph through the streets of Rye…
So I don’t have the family attachment of the place, except to say that when business was good in Town, it was BLOODY good!
Scrobie, “(except for the Krays and the Richardsons, maybe a few skinheads)” think you missed out the bent Met detectives after the Richardsons. Hmmmnn, plus ca change!
Radio 4s meme is the Tories have a problem with Rishi Sunak . Should they ditch him they ask repeatedly.
Rishi Sunak isn’t the problem for the Conservatives. The Conservatives are the problem for conservatives . They’re just badge engineered Labour , who are badge engineered corporatists .
My new car has a reversing camera, but because of a deep-seated belief, courtesy of BBC news, that nothing I see on the screen is true I still rely on my wing mirrors.
With all this anti-Jewish activity so avidly followed if not tacitly encouraged by the left wing media including the BBC maybe it’s time to re-run some if the horrifying footage of for instance from within the Auswitch Jewish concentration killing camp when the UK and US troops arrived to remind these idiots where this ends when you try to eliminate or in modern parlance “cancel” a whole race you despise.
The events in the US universities are a rerun of Christalnack, or the “breaking of windows” in all Jewish properties which led to absolute hell eventually.
It ends with piles of rotting corpses and they will all be complicit as to all intents and purposes they are going the way of Germany in the 1930’s right now to set up the carnage that follows.
If they succeed with their direction of travel we could see this all over again and all in the name of National Socialism…… or NAZI’s reborn.
I’m sorry Digg but you play with fire and you’re going to get burned. I’m sure you know Soros’ origins even if he now claims atheism, but how about Larry Fink the evil boss of Blackrock who introduced ESG scores and started investor activism, and it was all fine when his accolytes were targetting Whitey, the MAGA people but now the cross hairs are pointing at him and his people, and he buys more security and stuff the rest.
Or how about the Wokest company in the world? Disney headed by Bob Eiger predecessor Michael Eisner sending out their horrific leftist propaganda and driving the company into the ground.
Or Bidens administration which is notable because over 50% are Jewish.
So these are people fine when they were affecting the Goy but not so happy when the sights are trained on them.
So which camp are you in? Biden and his mates or their victims, the MAGA side which wants to put a stop to the madness?
Oh and by the way a few sillt stoodents are nowhere near a return to the sinister Socialist run up to power of Kristalnacht.
Socialism always ends with piles of rotting corpses, that’s an inevitability.
I wonder if blue labour will have much headscratching over their election results . Most people on this site could plobably tell them in less than 12 words .
Mine are – they are deceitful socialists – they failed on everything …( 8 words ) ….
Unfortunately Sunak will keep going until winter …. But with a bit of luck they really will be extinguished …
Indian national Flora Mendes, a bogus immigration lawyer, has been banned from practising. She has been jailed for seven and a half years for submitting fraudulent immigration applications. She also had £700,000 assets seized.
Considering so murders here often don’t even get reported on the BBC (almost always BAME murdering BAME), I wondered why on Earth this was headline world news. Maybe after they were found guilty, but not just charged.
I immediately thought that there was no chance they are Muslim if the BBC are reporting it. I was correct.
But the giveaway line was halfway through where the BBC decided this vague sentence deserved it’s own seperate paragraph:
‘Police added that investigations were continuing, including into “connections to the government of India”.’
A sentence implying government guilt but could mean absolutely anything. The BBC hate the BJP because they are somewhat right-wing and the ridiculous prominence of this whole article is a schoolboy level of spite.
Make it a headline when they’ve been found guilty and BJP involvement has been proved BBC. Everyone is innocent until then. Otherwise keep your agenda-based slurring to yourself and start reporting inconvenient crime in THIS country. Like the story Stew linked above
‘A struck-off solicitor exploited the Grenfell Tower tragedy and Windrush scheme to submit fraudulent immigration applications.’
The BBC would make this a front page story if it suited them. But Windrush and Grenfell are ‘protected’ BBC topics to be kept clean for the anti-white racist agenda.
If anyone cares to check, the sheer number number of Solicitor’s disciplinary hearings is quite remarkable. What is also quite remarkable is the very light touch penalties applied by the Tribunal for quite serious breaches of their professional code. The misdemeanors brought to light at the Tribunal are only the tip of the iceberg. It’s incredibly difficult for people affected by improper Solicitor actions to be able to prove anything. After that, a payout and non disclosure agreements will take care of anything going further. Proved cases will only be a tiny proportion of wrongdoing.
Going back a few days to PMQ’S, SNP’S Commons leader was again pushing Gaza:
“Let us all be in no doubt: aid is required in Gaza, and it is required because, when people are not being bombed, they are starving to death. The solution to that is a ceasefire and the opening of safe ground aid routes, not the involvement on the ground of UK military personnel. These are dramatic and potentially dangerous developments, so will the Prime Minister confirm to the House today that, before he makes a decision, all Members will be afforded a vote?”
We can only assume that Scotland must be paradise on earth so the SNP can focus their energies on Gaza.
Caroline Lucas, the so called Green was also pushing Palestine:
“In February, the Foreign Secretary said that it would be difficult for a ground offensive on Rafah to avoid harming civilians and destroying homes, and just yesterday, the Deputy Foreign Secretary admitted that he was struggling to see how such an attack could be compliant with international humanitarian law. All the signs are that Netanyahu is about to defy the international community, and that an attack on the 1.5 million Palestinians sheltering in Rafah is imminent. If that attack begins, will that be the moment when the Prime Minister finally finds the moral backbone to ban arms exports to Israel, and if not, how much more suffering has to happen before he acts to prevent further UK complicity in crimes against humanity?”
It’s interesting that Green-Socialism-Palestinian cause are so mutually linked.
One thing I am certain of is that if Israel do blow up some civilians in Rafah, it will be because they believe there are Hamas terrorists at that location. Granted they might only put the pass mark at 70% because I’m also certain they regard the majority of those civilians as fully supporting what Hamas did.
And the last thing I am certain of is that the BBC know full well Hamas are doing that but will not tell us. Despite all the evidence, I have never yet seen them state that Hamas are fighting from hospitals, schools, refugee camps etc. They only quote Israel as claiming it. And they have plenty of Hamas supporting reporters on the ground who could verify it.
And as that is the KEY reason for all these civilian deaths, it is an absolutely massive lie by omission.
Another Saturday, more anti Jewish Hamas supporting mobs roaming the capital with their socialist worker placards, emboldened by the fact that the police will not be arresting anyone (maybe the token one or two) because of orders from above.
The cops used to be thief takers, now they just stand around drinking coffee on nice overtime rates and retiring at 55 on our Council Tax payments.
I understand that there will be a counter demonstration on 1st June, so expect the body armour, riot vans and shields to be brought out of storage.
Sir Keir’s media Rapid Support Forces appear complacent edition
If there’s one nailed on certainty in this politically volatile climate of late – it’s that the Guardian would once again top the BBC’s online press line-up this Saturday.
Tories cushed by ‘worst election results’ in years (Guardian) – the gynaeceum that is: BBC News Staff – liked that one.
Rowena Mason, Whitehall editor does the editorial and the Gruan headline writing sub editor abbreviates a somewhat equivocal quote from psephological expert Prof John Curtice (“one of the worst, if not the worst” – we’ll give him the benefit of the doubt there since not all the results will have been counted at time of going to press)
He may well be a shoo-in for PM later this year but Sir Keir is not a man known for his depth of personality, his command of the skill of oration, nor any range of emotional expression – let alone any convincing policy ideas to fix any of Britain’s many ailments. The Gruan nonetheless pick a toe-curling pic of a bespectacled laughing Keir with which to celebrate a day of Labour victory.
We sense for Beeboids and for Guardianistas (but I repeat myself) this is more about dissing the blue team than it is about fixing Britain. One sadly observes how the left were getting most of what they desire under the Tories in any case.

Our mate Matt in the Telegraph refers us back to that incident of Household Cavalry steads running amok in the streets of London as he sketches a pair of horses commenting: “Something seems to have spooked those Tory MPs…“ – one can only assume the two foaming at the mouth Tories depicted are dashing off toward an eagerly anticipated Grindr date

Sudan’s brutal civil war began just over a year ago, after the country’s two leading military men who had staged a coup together – one the head of the armed forces, the other the head of the RSF – fell out over the future of the country.

Well well well.
The chickens come home to roost.
Labour, the party that spearheaded open door mass immigration, is now losing out to the very people it has done most to cultivate.
It turns out certain Muslim communities are the most racist of the lot, voting not on political grounds or even on local council effectiveness grounds, but on cultural and religious grounds. Gaza has become the key issue in UK local elections!!!! See Oldham. See Dudley. See Tower Hamlets.
But apparently to state this blindingly obvious observation is racist, according to the Labour apologist ‘interviewed’ by JustRemainin on Toady at 0834 this morning. What fun to listen as she tied herself in knots.
You reap what you sew. Unfortunately all the rest of us are paying the price as once great country slowly drifts into becoming a new western caliphate.
CAMERA (Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting and Analysis) UK has flagged up BBC and Guardian bias:
“The worst offenders regarding anti-Israel bias are the Guardian and the BBC, according to Levick. “The Guardian is by far the most hostile English language outlet when it comes to coverage of Israel and promotion or toleration of antisemitic tropes. But the BBC is more dangerous in that they have a global reach.””
The article included a short Israeli parody of the BBC. Apparently that was not the only one, and doubtless most posters will remember the following version better, and which remains painfully relevant six months on:
“Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar׳s exclusive interview on BBC”
I wonder what was the BBC’s reaction to being so accurately portrayed?
We all are sick of the politicians saying things like “Lessons will be learned” and other stuff they keep coming out with but there’s one that they are using more and more and it’s an excuse for (conservatives) to keep all their left wing stuff.
It’s this “we are a broad church” reply they keep saying.
I don’t want a ‘broad church’ party. I want one with a definite manifesto so that they can tell me what they stand for and not the ‘broad church’ definition which means they stand for everything everybody wants because that means they stand for nothing.
I know what Reform stands for but the conservatives seem to want to please everybody but end up pleasing nobody.
Take Brexit for example.
They have made a right mess of it.
They should have done what was promised and we voted for which was to leave but they’ve ended up with a half in half out type of situation. Leavers saying the eu still have too much influence on us and remainers saying we made a mistake by leaving.
It’s a pity this ‘broad church’ doesn’t apply to the police who, with their two tier approach mollycoddle the left and go in all truncheons blazing to any gathering of the right and patriots.
Yes EG ,
I wonder if all those left wingers/ progressives / libs / woke people who infest the BBC and the Question Time audiences voted Tory because the badge engineered Blue Labour tries to placate them .

Of course, it’s all a farce to make you believe SARS-CoV2 exists. An article published by Nature on 01/05/2024 entitled ‘Scientists tried to give people COVID – and failed’ just about sums up the state of the cargo cult science named virology.
Here are some choice excerpts
‘”The study’s results, published on 1 May in Lancet Microbe, raise questions about the usefulness of COVID-19 challenge trials for testing vaccines, drugs, and other therapeutics. “If you can’t get people infected, then you can’t test those things,” says Tom Peacock, a virologist at Imperial College London. Viral strains used in challenge trials take many months to produce, making it impossible to match emerging circulating variants that can overcome high levels of existing immunity in populations.”
Wtf? “If you can’t get people infected, then you can’t test those things,’ says Tom Peacock” and “Viral strains used in challenge trials take many months to PRODUCE”.
They are telling you they cannot isolate the virus. We are supposed to believe the virus is easily transmissible and there are trillions of particles in the blood of an infected person yet it takes them many months to PRODUCE a single virus not isolate a virus which should take hours to do. This is so absurd it beggars belief. As soon as a new ‘variant’ is identified ie isolated you replicate it and test it. That should happen in hours. After all, Moderna boasted they developed their vaccine in under 24 hours once they received the genomic sequence of the virus from our good mates, the Chinese.
The lunacy continues.
“The first participants got the same tiny dose of the ‘ancestral’ SARS-CoV-2 strain as did those in the first trial. When nobody developed a sustained infection, the researchers increased the dose by more and more in subsequent groups of participants, until they reached a level 10,000 times the initial dose. A few volunteers developed short-lived infections, but these quickly vanished. “We were quite surprised,” says Susan Jackson, a study clinician at Oxford and co-author of the latest study. “Moving forward, if you want a COVID challenge study, you’re going to have to find a dose that infects people.”
Wtf. “Moving forward, if you want a COVID challenge study, you’re going to have to find a dose that infects people.”
“An ongoing COVID-19 challenge trial at Imperial College London, in which participants have been exposed to the Delta SARS-CoV-2 variant, has also encountered problems with infecting participants reliably, says Christopher Chiu, an immunologist and infectious disease physician at Imperial who is leading that trial and was involved in the other challenge trials. Some participants have experienced infections, but probably not enough for a study testing whether a vaccine works, adds Chiu.”
Wtf? “Some participants have experienced infections, but probably not enough for a study testing whether a vaccine works, adds Chiu.”
So the idea that the stab somehow prevents serious illness is an outright, provable lie. It’s also not what a vaccine is designed to do. As we can see they have never done any testing to prove the efficacy of a vaccine because they have NEVER been able to infect animals let alone humans with the so-called virus. You would have thought proving prevention of transmission would be a basic prerequisite before you start rolling out mandatory vaccines across the planet as it is supposed to be a vaccine and the role of a vaccine is to prevent transmission not reduce symptoms. After all most people took it because they were brainwashed into believing they were protecting Granny and thereby proving just how virtuous they were.

The US economic situation is inexorably becomming worse with a report that 282 regional banks are stressed to the point of failure.
The report deliberately does not name these banks because of the risk of bank runs which would happen if depositors were aware, but even Jerome Powell is admitting there are going to be further bank failures.
The wider problem is the interconnectivity of these banks and the sheer number of them, which means they could not be absorbed by larger banks on this scale.
There will be another banking collapse on a global scale because the issues from 2008 were never fixed, save by throwing money at it.
Cue more appeasement, islamification of Britain, endless positive spin from the B (or I) BC, acquiescence from the passive majority, and destruction of British values – those that we have left.

Very odd that Sadiq Khan’s London Manifesto 2016 does not mention voting for him because of his Islamic Faith?
The Blair witch project. Voting blocks were imported from the third world. An extreme form of vote-rigging. Another subversion of our democratic process we are prevented from correcting. Tories would rather court the immigrant & “ethnic minority” vote than do anything about it.
It’s a strange thing – surely they know that once the power block is established they won’t vote for them anymore? Expenses to fill in – meetings with free coffee to attend!

Oh the photo is in the Daily Mirror thread
It just looks like someone wearing flesh coloured leggings with shadow at the crotch
The photographer is not an upskirt
It’s that the skirt is only about 5cm below her waste
“Narinder had called Leilani Dowling a tramp” – There’s no record of her calling Leilani Dowling a tramp.
“an old photo of her standing up and showing her crotch” – it was a photo of her sitting on the back seat of a car. Why are you posting stuff that’s so obviously false?
“that has been in public domain a long time” – It was removed from “the public domain” when “upskirting” became a criminal offence.
“Narinder had a few days earlier CONSENTED to sharing of the photo” – There is no record of her posting that “a few days earlier”. Again, you’re just making stuff up.
“Narinder has no claim to modesty, cos she flaunted her bits many times” – She can post what ever bits of herself she wants; that doesn’t somehow, magically make upskirting any less of a crime.
“The photographer is not an upskirt It’s that the skirt is only about 5cm below her waste [sic]” – It’s literally a photo up her skirt. Why are you posting such utter nonsense?
Poor Maxicony can’t help being himself being nasty and projecting
Everthing I wrote was based in fact, no matter how much he/she sneers
“There’s no record of her calling Leilani Dowling a tramp.”
Em yes there is
Here is Narinder doing her normal trick of quote tweeting someone else to do an inflammatory comment
.. “Narinder had a few days earlier CONSENTED to sharing of the photo”
Em it’s in the link I posted
“It’s literally a photo up her skirt”
.. It’s literally NOT a photo upwards into her skirt
Her skirt is only 5cm above the waist
So when you look straight across you see her crotch
The camera was not placed in a special LOW position to look up ., it’s looking across
..Though I find the paparazzi repellent for taking sleazy pictures especially since when she is in a vehicle it’s semi private.. although it’s on a public street . so expectation of privacy is low.
Finally as I pointed out the actually picture doesn’t reveal detail of the genitals .. it’s little more than if someone is wearing leggings and there is a bit of shadow.
Maxicony how come you are asserting Laurence Fox tweeted the Narinder pic for no reason as if on a whim ?
Of course it was a reaction to her making a comment calling his fiend a tramp
Narinder is like that.. her tweets seem like constant trolling trying to provoke great reaction
..she throws mud at people , and when they reciprocate, it becomes like two pigs wrestling in mud
In this world there are genuine victims who need help , whatever their skin colour or ethnicity etc.
but she is not in that category.
“standing up” yes she was AFAIK starting to stand up to get out of the car
the photo is taken as she starts to stand
AS to the photo being in the public domain .. people on Twitter asserted it was and pointed out that people had tweeted it at Narinder and that she had retweeted a clipped version herself
Laurence Fox didn’t magic it up ..it came from those tweets
As I said people people on Twitter asserted the photo IS in the public domain
Maxi contradicts them \\ It was removed from “the public domain” when “upskirting” became a criminal offence.//
He’s also contradicting the The microsoft search engine .. which does show the image

“The Mayor travelled to Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad, where he met with key political leaders, including Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi. He also met with business leaders, while the business delegation strengthened ties between London and Pakistan.”
Muhammad Ali Jinnah founded a nation, championed democracy, justice and women’s and minority rights. He continues to inspire millions in Pakistan and around the world today. It was a privilege to visit Mazar-e-Quaid to pay my respects at his final resting place
…..
By 1940, Jinnah had come to believe that the Muslims of the subcontinent should have their own state to avoid the possible marginalised status they may gain in an independent Hindu–Muslim state. In that year, the Muslim League, led by Jinnah, passed the Lahore Resolution, demanding a separate nation for Indian Muslims. During the Second World War, the League gained strength while leaders of the Congress were imprisoned, and in the provincial elections held shortly after the war, it won most of the seats reserved for Muslims. Ultimately, the Congress and the Muslim League could not reach a power-sharing formula that would allow the entirety of British India to be united as a single state following independence, leading all parties to agree instead to the independence of a predominantly Hindu India, and for a Muslim-majority state of Pakistan.
Ahmed further avers that those scholars who have painted the later Jinnah as secular have misread his speeches which, he argues, must be read in the context of Islamic history and culture. Accordingly, Jinnah’s imagery of the Pakistan began to become clear that it was to have an Islamic nature. This change has been seen to last for the rest of Jinnah’s life. He continued to borrow ideas “directly from Iqbal—including his thoughts on Muslim unity, on Islamic ideals of liberty, justice and equality, on economics, and even on practices such as prayers”
What you miss out is the scale of death during the transmigration of people in both directions, the vote of Kashmir to remain with India and the enormous mistake made by allowing partition, a mistake the British made over and over again.
As we consider the effects of pro-Muslim voting in the local elections, I cannot help but notice that Hindu-majority India, warts and all, has remained a voting democracy since 1947. Muslim majority Pakistan……..errrr………..didn’t.
Thoughtful, I’m not sure a one state solution would have had fewer casualties. Civil War would have been a serious possibility. The Attlee government wanted rid of India but Wavell’s one state plan was not a runner, and so he was replaced. Two states was the least worst option. The Shimla conference of 1945 is still well-covered to this day at the Vice Regal lodge, even if some of the photos are in need of TLC – he said knowingly.

Now : Granite Harbour, yesterday Gavin and Stacy
I notice that the BBC is really pushing something called Stacey and Gavin – the title was enough for me never to have seen it – apparently it’s coming back again ….
….. as for the re elected Khan – I wonder if an anti ULEZ party would have got anywhere against him ? The Tory candidate was a non entity and deserved what she got …
I saw a trail for Granite Harbour. I believe it is set in Aberdeen, but it had a black cop in it talking patois. Like so many BBC shows these days, I decided to give it a miss. It gets easier the more you do it.
Demograpy is destiny. … According to the most recent census data, the Muslim population has increased by 44% over the last decade. 3.9 million Muslims are now living in London, up from 4.9% to 6.5%. For the first time ever, the Christian population is less than 50% in England and Wales.30 Nov 2022
I think the most famous crash there has to be Niki Lauda in 1976. Never forgotten it, was lucky enough to meet him over 20 years later such a gentleman who still had the ability to make my toes curl with his smile 😊
I think the essential differerence is that Niki Lauda was a trained driver, what I was showing was weekend idiots with no training who anyone may come across on any motorway.
I used to work on the M25 and had to see the videos before they were forwarded to the insurance comapanies, (watching a lorry driver burned to death in 30 seconds, and five French passengers in a car killed by a lorry driver watching TV on his dashboard), is why I have made various comments about lorry and van drivers who seen the think they are on a race track.
And as for the motorcylist who made an insurance claim about being seriously injured joining the slip road, when we watched the video of him joing the slip road at 90mph well…
Left wing comedian and BBC favourite Mark Steel is clear of cancer. (On a personal level, good for him, it’s a horrible disease – and we know only too well)
He shared his experiences and also praised the staff at University College London Hospital (UCLH).
“They have been astoundingly fantastic,”
But is this not what we should expect? Is this not what we pay for? If the NHS is so great how come our cancer clear up rates are so low compared with European, Asian, and American countries?
So really what we have here is a left wing comedian supporting a nationalised, socialist nirvana industry, aided and abetted by the left wing BBC that supports it all.
Andy Street – the blue Labour mayor pin up – appears to have been beaten by red labour – but the 500 loss council seats hasn’t been hit yet ….

And it really is something that a party self harmed so much ….
The telegraph has done a projection of senior blue labour MPs who will lose their seats – it’s a lot – which is comforting …
There seems to be a view that blue labour MPs have not been aware of the imminent demise until the results of the local election … if this is really try they have no right to be in politics at all . They were warned that getting rid of nut nut wouid not improve their position – and landing up with a green card foreigner will bury them .
Meanwhile somehow red labour has to make starmer appear like a human being – instead of a dead eyed amoral lawyer with the charisma of a prawn ( sorry prawns )

The Government should declare a state of emergency and set up military channel patrols perhaps SBS, and turn the boats back. There is a possibility that some migrants will die but numbers are dying anyway, in the end there will be a major disaster After a week or two of proper border enforcement the crossings will cease and no one will die. Strong action is the only thing that will put a stop to this ridiculous situation.
The Liar Blair’s Home Office advisor in 2004 on likely EU Economic Immigrants if we did (as most other EU members did NOT) let economic migrants in, was one Jonathan Portes, a supposed economics forecaster. He told Blair c15,000 pa.

Barnet and Camden – 39.59%
Bexley and Bromley – 48.38%
Brent and Harrow – 37.09%
City and East (Barking and Dagenham, City of London, Newham, Tower Hamlets) – 31.17%
Croydon and Sutton – 42.27%
Ealing and Hillingdon – 42.98%
Enfield and Haringey – 41.38%
Greenwich and Lewisham – 40.33%
Havering and Redbridge – 42.94%

With all this anti-Jewish activity so avidly followed if not tacitly encouraged by the left wing media including the BBC maybe it’s time to re-run some if the horrifying footage of for instance from within the Auswitch Jewish concentration killing camp when the UK and US troops arrived to remind these idiots where this ends when you try to eliminate or in modern parlance “cancel” a whole race you despise.
The events in the US universities are a rerun of Christalnack, or the “breaking of windows” in all Jewish properties which led to absolute hell eventually.
It ends with piles of rotting corpses and they will all be complicit as to all intents and purposes they are going the way of Germany in the 1930’s right now to set up the carnage that follows.

Three arrested and charged over Sikh activist’s killing in Canada
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-67836968
Considering so murders here often don’t even get reported on the BBC (almost always BAME murdering BAME), I wondered why on Earth this was headline world news. Maybe after they were found guilty, but not just charged.
I immediately thought that there was no chance they are Muslim if the BBC are reporting it. I was correct.
But the giveaway line was halfway through where the BBC decided this vague sentence deserved it’s own seperate paragraph:
‘Police added that investigations were continuing, including into “connections to the government of India”.’
A sentence implying government guilt but could mean absolutely anything. The BBC hate the BJP because they are somewhat right-wing and the ridiculous prominence of this whole article is a schoolboy level of spite.
Make it a headline when they’ve been found guilty and BJP involvement has been proved BBC. Everyone is innocent until then. Otherwise keep your agenda-based slurring to yourself and start reporting inconvenient crime in THIS country. Like the story Stew linked above
Former solicitor who exploited Grenfell Tower fire scheme is jailed for fraud
https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/flora-mendes-grenfell-tower-fire-scheme-jailed-fraud-b1155640.html
‘A struck-off solicitor exploited the Grenfell Tower tragedy and Windrush scheme to submit fraudulent immigration applications.’
The BBC would make this a front page story if it suited them. But Windrush and Grenfell are ‘protected’ BBC topics to be kept clean for the anti-white racist agenda.

If anyone cares to check, the sheer number number of Solicitor’s disciplinary hearings is quite remarkable. What is also quite remarkable is the very light touch penalties applied by the Tribunal for quite serious breaches of their professional code. The misdemeanors brought to light at the Tribunal are only the tip of the iceberg. It’s incredibly difficult for people affected by improper Solicitor actions to be able to prove anything. After that, a payout and non disclosure agreements will take care of anything going further. Proved cases will only be a tiny proportion of wrongdoing.

Going back a few days to PMQ’S, SNP’S Commons leader was again pushing Gaza:
“Let us all be in no doubt: aid is required in Gaza, and it is required because, when people are not being bombed, they are starving to death. The solution to that is a ceasefire and the opening of safe ground aid routes, not the involvement on the ground of UK military personnel. These are dramatic and potentially dangerous developments, so will the Prime Minister confirm to the House today that, before he makes a decision, all Members will be afforded a vote?”
We can only assume that Scotland must be paradise on earth so the SNP can focus their energies on Gaza.
Caroline Lucas, the so called Green was also pushing Palestine:
“In February, the Foreign Secretary said that it would be difficult for a ground offensive on Rafah to avoid harming civilians and destroying homes, and just yesterday, the Deputy Foreign Secretary admitted that he was struggling to see how such an attack could be compliant with international humanitarian law. All the signs are that Netanyahu is about to defy the international community, and that an attack on the 1.5 million Palestinians sheltering in Rafah is imminent. If that attack begins, will that be the moment when the Prime Minister finally finds the moral backbone to ban arms exports to Israel, and if not, how much more suffering has to happen before he acts to prevent further UK complicity in crimes against humanity?”
It’s interesting that Green-Socialism-Palestinian cause are so mutually linked.

One thing I am certain of is that if Israel do blow up some civilians in Rafah, it will be because they believe there are Hamas terrorists at that location. Granted they might only put the pass mark at 70% because I’m also certain they regard the majority of those civilians as fully supporting what Hamas did.
And the last thing I am certain of is that the BBC know full well Hamas are doing that but will not tell us. Despite all the evidence, I have never yet seen them state that Hamas are fighting from hospitals, schools, refugee camps etc. They only quote Israel as claiming it. And they have plenty of Hamas supporting reporters on the ground who could verify it.
And as that is the KEY reason for all these civilian deaths, it is an absolutely massive lie by omission.

Sir Keir’s media Rapid Support Forces appear complacent edition
If there’s one nailed on certainty in this politically volatile climate of late – it’s that the Guardian would once again top the BBC’s online press line-up this Saturday.
Tories cushed by ‘worst election results’ in years (Guardian) – the gynaeceum that is: BBC News Staff – liked that one.
Rowena Mason, Whitehall editor does the editorial and the Gruan headline writing sub editor abbreviates a somewhat equivocal quote from psephological expert Prof John Curtice (“one of the worst, if not the worst” – we’ll give him the benefit of the doubt there since not all the results will have been counted at time of going to press)
He may well be a shoo-in for PM later this year but Sir Keir is not a man known for his depth of personality, his command of the skill of oration, nor any range of emotional expression – let alone any convincing policy ideas to fix any of Britain’s many ailments. The Gruan nonetheless pick a toe-curling pic of a bespectacled laughing Keir with which to celebrate a day of Labour victory.
We sense for Beeboids and for Guardianistas (but I repeat myself) this is more about dissing the blue team than it is about fixing Britain. One sadly observes how the left were getting most of what they desire under the Tories in any case.

Labour, the party that spearheaded open door mass immigration, is now losing out to the very people it has done most to cultivate.
It turns out certain Muslim communities are the most racist of the lot, voting not on political grounds or even on local council effectiveness grounds, but on cultural and religious grounds. Gaza has become the key issue in UK local elections!!!! See Oldham. See Dudley. See Tower Hamlets.
But apparently to state this blindingly obvious observation is racist, according to the Labour apologist ‘interviewed’ by JustRemainin on Toady at 0834 this morning. What fun to listen as she tied herself in knots.

CAMERA (Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting and Analysis) UK has flagged up BBC and Guardian bias:
“The worst offenders regarding anti-Israel bias are the Guardian and the BBC, according to Levick. “The Guardian is by far the most hostile English language outlet when it comes to coverage of Israel and promotion or toleration of antisemitic tropes. But the BBC is more dangerous in that they have a global reach.””

We all are sick of the politicians saying things like “Lessons will be learned” and other stuff they keep coming out with but there’s one that they are using more and more and it’s an excuse for (conservatives) to keep all their left wing stuff.
It’s this “we are a broad church” reply they keep saying.
I don’t want a ‘broad church’ party. I want one with a definite manifesto so that they can tell me what they stand for and not the ‘broad church’ definition which means they stand for everything everybody wants because that means they stand for nothing.
I know what Reform stands for but the conservatives seem to want to please everybody but end up pleasing nobody.
Take Brexit for example.
They have made a right mess of it.
They should have done what was promised and we voted for which was to leave but they’ve ended up with a half in half out type of situation. Leavers saying the eu still have too much influence on us and remainers saying we made a mistake by leaving.
It’s a pity this ‘broad church’ doesn’t apply to the police who, with their two tier approach mollycoddle the left and go in all truncheons blazing to any gathering of the right and patriots.

Of course, it’s all a farce to make you believe SARS-CoV2 exists. An article published by Nature on 01/05/2024 entitled ‘Scientists tried to give people COVID – and failed’ just about sums up the state of the cargo cult science named virology.
https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-01284-1
Here are some choice excerpts
‘”The study’s results, published on 1 May in Lancet Microbe, raise questions about the usefulness of COVID-19 challenge trials for testing vaccines, drugs, and other therapeutics. “If you can’t get people infected, then you can’t test those things,” says Tom Peacock, a virologist at Imperial College London. Viral strains used in challenge trials take many months to produce, making it impossible to match emerging circulating variants that can overcome high levels of existing immunity in populations.”
Wtf? “If you can’t get people infected, then you can’t test those things,’ says Tom Peacock” and “Viral strains used in challenge trials take many months to PRODUCE”.
They are telling you they cannot isolate the virus. We are supposed to believe the virus is easily transmissible and there are trillions of particles in the blood of an infected person yet it takes them many months to PRODUCE a single virus not isolate a virus which should take hours to do. This is so absurd it beggars belief. As soon as a new ‘variant’ is identified ie isolated you replicate it and test it. That should happen in hours. After all, Moderna boasted they developed their vaccine in under 24 hours once they received the genomic sequence of the virus from our good mates, the Chinese.
The lunacy continues.
“The first participants got the same tiny dose of the ‘ancestral’ SARS-CoV-2 strain as did those in the first trial. When nobody developed a sustained infection, the researchers increased the dose by more and more in subsequent groups of participants, until they reached a level 10,000 times the initial dose. A few volunteers developed short-lived infections, but these quickly vanished. “We were quite surprised,” says Susan Jackson, a study clinician at Oxford and co-author of the latest study. “Moving forward, if you want a COVID challenge study, you’re going to have to find a dose that infects people.”
Wtf. “Moving forward, if you want a COVID challenge study, you’re going to have to find a dose that infects people.”
“An ongoing COVID-19 challenge trial at Imperial College London, in which participants have been exposed to the Delta SARS-CoV-2 variant, has also encountered problems with infecting participants reliably, says Christopher Chiu, an immunologist and infectious disease physician at Imperial who is leading that trial and was involved in the other challenge trials. Some participants have experienced infections, but probably not enough for a study testing whether a vaccine works, adds Chiu.”
Wtf? “Some participants have experienced infections, but probably not enough for a study testing whether a vaccine works, adds Chiu.”
So the idea that the stab somehow prevents serious illness is an outright, provable lie. It’s also not what a vaccine is designed to do. As we can see they have never done any testing to prove the efficacy of a vaccine because they have NEVER been able to infect animals let alone humans with the so-called virus. You would have thought proving prevention of transmission would be a basic prerequisite before you start rolling out mandatory vaccines across the planet as it is supposed to be a vaccine and the role of a vaccine is to prevent transmission not reduce symptoms. After all most people took it because they were brainwashed into believing they were protecting Granny and thereby proving just how virtuous they were.

The US economic situation is inexorably becomming worse with a report that 282 regional banks are stressed to the point of failure.
The report deliberately does not name these banks because of the risk of bank runs which would happen if depositors were aware, but even Jerome Powell is admitting there are going to be further bank failures.
https://www.cnbc.com/2024/05/01/why-hundreds-of-us-banks-may-be-at-risk-of-failure.html
The wider problem is the interconnectivity of these banks and the sheer number of them, which means they could not be absorbed by larger banks on this scale.
There will be another banking collapse on a global scale because the issues from 2008 were never fixed, save by throwing money at it.

Labour must rebuild trust with Muslim voters, says senior MP

Cue more appeasement, islamification of Britain, endless positive spin from the B (or I) BC, acquiescence from the passive majority, and destruction of British values – those that we have left.
Want some proof? At a school near us here in the Islamic Socialist Republic of Londonistan, the school population is about 70% Hindu 20% Muslim. The school offers a GCSE in religious studies. There is a voluntary Hindu option and a voluntary Islam option. Out of 23 students, 19 chose Islam. There is a Christian option. It had no takers.

and that has been in public domain a long time
#2 Narinder had a few days earlier CONSENTED to sharing of the photo
“carry on tweeting this pic you sick people. I don’t care”

StewGreen,
“Narinder had called Leilani Dowling a tramp” – There’s no record of her calling Leilani Dowling a tramp.
“an old photo of her standing up and showing her crotch” – it was a photo of her sitting on the back seat of a car. Why are you posting stuff that’s so obviously false?
“that has been in public domain a long time” – It was removed from “the public domain” when “upskirting” became a criminal offence.
“Narinder had a few days earlier CONSENTED to sharing of the photo” – There is no record of her posting that “a few days earlier”. Again, you’re just making stuff up.
“Narinder has no claim to modesty, cos she flaunted her bits many times” – She can post what ever bits of herself she wants; that doesn’t somehow, magically make upskirting any less of a crime.
“The photographer is not an upskirt It’s that the skirt is only about 5cm below her waste [sic]” – It’s literally a photo up her skirt. Why are you posting such utter nonsense?

Em yes there is
Here is Narinder doing her normal trick of quote tweeting someone else to do an inflammatory comment
.. “Narinder had a few days earlier CONSENTED to sharing of the photo”
Em it’s in the link I posted
“It’s literally a photo up her skirt”
.. It’s literally NOT a photo upwards into her skirt
Her skirt is only 5cm above the waist
So when you look straight across you see her crotch
The camera was not placed in a special LOW position to look up ., it’s looking across
..Though I find the paparazzi repellent for taking sleazy pictures especially since when she is in a vehicle it’s semi private.. although it’s on a public street . so expectation of privacy is low.
Finally as I pointed out the actually picture doesn’t reveal detail of the genitals .. it’s little more than if someone is wearing leggings and there is a bit of shadow.

Maxicony how come you are asserting Laurence Fox tweeted the Narinder pic for no reason as if on a whim ?
Of course it was a reaction to her making a comment calling his fiend a tramp
Narinder is like that.. her tweets seem like constant trolling trying to provoke great reaction
..she throws mud at people , and when they reciprocate, it becomes like two pigs wrestling in mud
In this world there are genuine victims who need help , whatever their skin colour or ethnicity etc.
but she is not in that category.
“standing up” yes she was AFAIK starting to stand up to get out of the car
the photo is taken as she starts to stand
AS to the photo being in the public domain .. people on Twitter asserted it was and pointed out that people had tweeted it at Narinder and that she had retweeted a clipped version herself
Laurence Fox didn’t magic it up ..it came from those tweets

“The Mayor travelled to Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad, where he met with key political leaders, including Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi. He also met with business leaders, while the business delegation strengthened ties between London and Pakistan.”

Muhammad Ali Jinnah founded a nation, championed democracy, justice and women’s and minority rights. He continues to inspire millions in Pakistan and around the world today. It was a privilege to visit Mazar-e-Quaid to pay my respects at his final resting place
…..
By 1940, Jinnah had come to believe that the Muslims of the subcontinent should have their own state to avoid the possible marginalised status they may gain in an independent Hindu–Muslim state. In that year, the Muslim League, led by Jinnah, passed the Lahore Resolution, demanding a separate nation for Indian Muslims. During the Second World War, the League gained strength while leaders of the Congress were imprisoned, and in the provincial elections held shortly after the war, it won most of the seats reserved for Muslims. Ultimately, the Congress and the Muslim League could not reach a power-sharing formula that would allow the entirety of British India to be united as a single state following independence, leading all parties to agree instead to the independence of a predominantly Hindu India, and for a Muslim-majority state of Pakistan.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_Ali_Jinnah
Ahmed further avers that those scholars who have painted the later Jinnah as secular have misread his speeches which, he argues, must be read in the context of Islamic history and culture. Accordingly, Jinnah’s imagery of the Pakistan began to become clear that it was to have an Islamic nature. This change has been seen to last for the rest of Jinnah’s life. He continued to borrow ideas “directly from Iqbal—including his thoughts on Muslim unity, on Islamic ideals of liberty, justice and equality, on economics, and even on practices such as prayers”

As we consider the effects of pro-Muslim voting in the local elections, I cannot help but notice that Hindu-majority India, warts and all, has remained a voting democracy since 1947. Muslim majority Pakistan……..errrr………..didn’t.
Thoughtful, I’m not sure a one state solution would have had fewer casualties. Civil War would have been a serious possibility. The Attlee government wanted rid of India but Wavell’s one state plan was not a runner, and so he was replaced. Two states was the least worst option. The Shimla conference of 1945 is still well-covered to this day at the Vice Regal lodge, even if some of the photos are in need of TLC – he said knowingly.
