Just heard on GBNews that the cause of the bug in the water in the South West COULD have been waste from cattle. Is this explanation to encourage people to become vegan? Or is it just be an easy get out by the water company’s PR team? The word used was ‘could’, so it may be it has nothing to do with the cows.

Tomo – we re not too far from ‘approved killings ‘ – no doubt the BBC wouid celebrate ( ‘snigger ‘to quote Croxhall ) the death of someone like Farage or Trump ….
Daily, increasingly more people (particularly white), slaughtered on the streets of the UK. Focus on the elderly, young women children and other weak groups. Meanwhile, the Home Office islamic contingent search around for more objects to call, “Offensive Weapons” and ban. Two ends to the middle in their desire to render Brits defenceless in preparation for their takeover. Has Rich Sunak approved a hand-over date yet?
Just like the assassination attempt on Fico is highly suspicious so was the attack on Amess. Few questioned the narrative but as in all these cases they use supposed lone nutjobs to cover for their crimes. Of course, in Amess’s case, the killer was a supposedly disgruntled Arab. The usual playbook. Amess was starting to question Government policy on the stabs and lockdowns before his termination. At the Old Bailey, Judge Mr Justice Sweeney said: “This was a murder that struck at the heart of our democracy.” This type of language is a red flag to any self-respecting swivel-eyed conspiracy loon. It’s what the communists running the SED 2.0 in Germany continually pump out on their controlled mainstream media. The AfD is a danger to our democracy.
Sirhan Sirhan is a classic case of this. A supposed unhinged Palestinian he did not assassinate Robert Kennedy as the bullet that killed him was a contact shot behind the ear and Sirhan was in front of him, never getting closer than six feet to Kennedy. Yet still, his murder by Mossad and the CIA is brushed under the carpet. Such is the power of the controllers.
I don’t know who killed RFK, but it is an absolute fact it was not Sirhan Sirhan. RFK was shot from behind at point blank range with a .22 pistol. The only man in that position with a .22 was his “guard”, Thane Eugene Cesar. No-one else could have shot RFK. Sirhan was a patsy.
Apparently the comedian says just 2 more free Patriot systems would stop the Russian invasion of Kharkov.
Of course he’s lying. It might make it more difficult, but the end result is inevitable. They only question is how many die and how much of the city is destroyed first.

It seems the only one interested in discussing any kind of political solution is Putin. Unluckily for Ukraine, it has been deemed that they will fight to the last man.

A subliminal electioneering message by the BBC, on our local radio station. “Things Will Only Get Better” by D:Ream was played just after one of the much repeated news item, Smarmer’s great new plan for Britain yesterday.
The close association of the song to Bliar and New Labour must surely be known to the controllers.
Smarmer’s great new plan, incidentally, was nothing more than a wish list with nothing to actually indicate how his great ideas will be achieved.
Actually it was Kinnock, so the memories have poignancy.
The pre-election landslide bun-struggle was a joy to watch with our Neil, ‘Thumper’ Prescott and Mandy all gigging along like teenies, counting chickens the whiles.

Palestinian student who was ‘full of pride’ at Hamas attacks against Israel claims Home Office revoked her visa ‘on national security grounds’.
Dana Abuqamar, 19, a law student at the University of Manchester, attended a pro-Palestine protest just one day after Hamas carried out its October 7 attack
During the demonstration, Ms Abuqamar, president of Manchester Friends of Palestine, was filmed saying she was ‘really full of joy’ and ‘proud that Palestinian resistance has come to this point’.
She has now claimed that the UK Government has ‘violated her human rights’ by rescinding her student visa on the ‘baseless’ accusation that she is a ‘risk to public safety’.
The Home Office told MailOnline it does not comment on individual cases and it remains unclear precisely what revoking the visa means for the teenager’s future in Britain.
In a new video released this week, Ms Abuqamar confirmed she would be appealing the decision and said her remarks in October, which were publicly condemned by policing minister Chris Philp, had been misrepresented.
‘My words were taken out of context and they were framed as me supporting harm to innocent civilians, which is completely false and completely untrue,’ she told the Middle East Eye.
The UK Home Office decided to revoke my student visa following public statements supporting the Palestinian right to exercise under international law to resist oppression and break through the siege that was illegally placed on Gaza for over 16 years.’
She added: ‘It’s an outrageous claim that the Home Office is making by deeming me a national security threat.
I am a 19-year-old who has done nothing but go to school and advocate for social justice and try and be an asset to my community.
‘So saying I pose a threat to national security is a completely baseless claim.’
She told the news outlet that her legal team had lodged a ‘human rights appeal’ against the decision.
Ms Abuqamar, who is in her final year as a law student, said that before coming to Britain she believed ‘freedom of expression is a fundamental human right that’s cherished here.
—————————————————–
Get here on a plane and out of here.
Plus all the the terrorist supporters who weren’t born here.
“She has now claimed that the UK Government has ‘violated her human rights’ by rescinding her student visa on the ‘baseless’ accusation that she is a ‘risk to public safety’.”
“Ms Abuqamar, who is in her final year as a law student, said that before coming to Britain she believed ‘freedom of expression is a fundamental human right that’s cherished here.”
freedom of expression is a fundamental human right that’s cherished here– but not in GAZA!
I read this and although I absolutely abhor her views, she should in a free society with freedom of speech have the right to say it, and the state should have no power to intervene. Society should be the ones to judge.
Freedom of speech means what it says the freedom to express views without the fear of the state exacting violence upon the person as a result.
We might not like what she said, and I certainly don’t, but she didn’t incite others or invite anyone else to join her in support for a terrorist organisation.
Is she a threat to National Security? Well as always in these situations we are not party to what the intelligence services know and the evidence they hold on her, and lets face it we can’t trust the UK media to tell the truth even if they know it!
In my opinion it should be a matter of policy that all student visas are granted on the condition that the holder does not get involved in politics in any way, and that a breach of that would lead to an immediate cancellation of that visa.
There have been far too many interntational student coming to Britain whose primary motive has been political, in the past and we now have students from China who are political officers from the CCP attending uni to keep watch over their fellows.
This is the worst they have got to show us:
Caption: ‘A Palestinian detainee pictured with an Israeli flag draped over their back’
You missed the word ‘terrorist’ before ‘detainee’ there BBC.
Considering what these people did to Israel, I’m surprised they aren’t just shooting them like vermin.
Isn’t it amazing what the BBC will ignore when it suits them (such as Hamas fighting from UN bases and using civilians as human shields) but kick up a great big stink over something like this.
And look at just at how outrageous this abuse is:
caption: An Israeli soldier posts a photo of detainees while holding an Israeli flag
How terrible.
Well done ‘Merlyn’ of BBC verify. What do you want to do when you grow up ?.

There is an interesting aspect to Jewish culture, most Jews are extremely pragmatic towards other faiths and cultures. I seen and experienced this directly. A significant proportion of the Israel are Islamic Arabs, there are even Palestinians living in Israel. Sure, there are tensions but by and large, Jewish Israelis just get on with trading and working alongside the “others”. In contrast, the Islamics are, with exceptions, extremely intolerant.
Jewish people assume people are born into a family with faith and expect children to follow that faith. Jews believe Judaism is the Jewish way to G-d but don’t expect others to follow the Jewish faith but the one they were born into. Jews don’t expect people to convert to Judaism.

I have a little side-story regarding the media’s treatment of Nixon. It’s not bbc, but it is to do with bias. I was a youngster at the time of the Nixon / Kennedy faceoff, so I can only watch the newsreels of the day. The story goes that during the televised debates, Nixon was placed underneath the biggest (And hottest) lighting rig. He was offered no “touchups” to his makeup and general appearance, whereas Kennedy had a whole team from the tv company dabbing his brow when the camera wasn’t on him, applying fresh makeup and preening his hair. If you watch it, take a look at Nixon. He actually has streams of sweat running through his hair and down his face. Not a good look and quite intentional.
As I say, not bbc, but it shows that this blatant bias has been running for a long time.
Crooked Joe (Not my name for him but I like the guy who coined it) will sure as anything find a reason to not appear on any right-leaning tv companies’ debate, and certainly nothing with a live audience.
“Top talent” Nick Robinson had a lengthy item this morning on the BBC today programme, which drew my attention.

Ho-hum…well maybe one day!

There’s a mystery today – French police have shot a ‘man ‘ dead . The ‘man ‘was apparently trying to set fire to a synagogue … it was described as ‘anti semitic ‘ … so it was an attack by a ‘nazi ‘ right ? Or was it by someone else ? With another ‘motivation ‘?
We don’t know .
Will we get a clue if the dead ‘man ‘ is named ? Could he – perhaps – be called ‘Mohammed ‘? .. could this suggest it was an attack by Islam ?
Will we ever be told …? No TV licences please ..
And has the BBC reported yet the attack on the Israeli embassy in Stockholm? Mahyar Tousi has and I don’t think he receives any thing like the funding the BBC gets.

Our propaganda polluted media mainstream (Mr AsI advises consumers to always boil, filter and distill prior to consumption) brings us somewhat of a dull and colourless flow of slow news day headlines today.
The BBC rediscovers that almost forgotten war we now take for granted – you’ll remember the one about which the Daily Express once used to daily proclaim frontpage its unity: …with the people of Ukraine.
For top online news story our BBC goes with: Ukraine’s defence lines stretched as Russian troops advance
Not to worry, the Biden adminstration has got this: ‘Free world is with you’: Antony Blinken plays guitar in Kyiv bar… Showing solidarity for Ukrainians, the US Secretary of State played the Neil Young song Rockin’ in the Free World (Telegraph)
Blinken rocks out on a road to nowhere… The Secretary of State delivered remarks to Ukraine this week that paint a rosy scenario defying reality… bitterly ironic protest song, “Rockin’ in the Free World” in a Kyiv bar. His speech Tuesday laying out the U.S. plan for a “Free, Secure, and Prosperous Future for Ukraine” was full of ironies as well, although he’d prefer that we be oblivious to those too… After almost two and a half years of war, the speech announced a “stay the course” approach… Rather than use the recent $60 billion aid package to lay the groundwork for a feasible plan to end the conflict, the speech promised continued U.S. support for unconditional victory and continued efforts to bring Ukraine into NATO, one of the issues that helped to trigger the war in the first place.

What the razzmatazz and promises tell you about Labour (Chris Mason, political editor, BBC) – razzmatazz is about the last word that might spring to mind in connection with our adenoidal piggy-eyed recovering personality by-pass victim Keir Starmer – but do tell us all about it Chris…

Meanwhile: I’m 36 and sick of being asked if I’m freezing my eggs (‘i’) – calm down dear – now there’s a statement that back in 1964, when four royal mothers were photographed holding their new born babies, would have been more likely taken to be some query about a woman’s basic foodstuffs kitchen refrigeration protocols

And it wouldn’t be the frontpage of the corproate globalist FT without a “far-right” or two.
Netanyahu’s alliance with the far right bodes ill for Israel (FT, November 2022); The far right is moving into Europe’s mainstream… Geert Wilders… Viktor Orbán of Hungary… Giorgia Meloni… The Sweden Democrats… Robert Fico, a populist who dabbles with far-right themes, is back as prime minister of Slovakia (FT, November 2023) – full house – watch this space on that last chap.
Today the pink paper rolls out the “far-right” warning red light spotlight to alight on Germany: Far-right MP investigated… A corruption investigation into Petr Bystron, an MP for Germany’s far-right AfD party, has been launched (FT) – far-right… got that?

“Truths turn into dogmas the instant that they are disputed. Thus every man who utters a doubt defines a religion. And the scepticism of our time does not really destroy the beliefs, rather it creates them; gives them their limits and their plain and defiant shape. We who are Liberals once held Liberalism lightly as a truism. Now it has been disputed, and we hold it fiercely as a faith. We who believe in patriotism once thought patriotism to be reasonable, and thought little more about it. Now we know it to be unreasonable, and know it to be right. We who are Christians never knew the great philosophic common sense which inheres in that mystery until the anti-Christian writers pointed it out to us. The great march of mental destruction will go on. Everything will be denied. Everything will become a creed. It is a reasonable position to deny the stones in the street; it will be a religious dogma to assert them. It is a rational thesis that we are all in a dream; it will be a mystical sanity to say that we are all awake. Fires will be kindled to testify that two and two make four. Swords will be drawn to prove that leaves are green in summer. We shall be left defending, not only the incredible virtues and sanities of human life, but something more incredible still, this huge impossible universe which stares us in the face. We shall fight for visible prodigies as if they were invisible. We shall look on the impossible grass and the skies with a strange courage. We shall be of those who have seen and yet have believed.”
― G.K. Chesterton, Heretics
2 Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, 2 not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us—whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter—asserting that the day of the Lord has already come. 3 Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness[a] is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. 4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.
5 Don’t you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things? 6 And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. 7 For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, 10 and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.

I never used to believe in a wealth tax, but I am now a firm convert after realising that it is possible to amass a fortune of hundreds of millions and pay no income tax what so ever, yet still live in Britain and enjoy all the priveledges legally.
Clever accountants and lawyers making use of tax havens, offshore trusts etc make sure every thing is legal above board and most of all that a minimal amount of tax is paid.
As Leona Helmsley said – only the little people pay tax.
Sunak and family increased their wealth last year by a staggering £105 Million and yet they had no legal liability to pay any tax at all on that!
We the tax paying people are paying their share of the tax burden and that’s just not fair.
Born in Dnipro, Ukraine (while it was part of the Soviet Union), Mr Kolomoisky capitalized on the opportunities in the “import-export business” that surfaced with the collapse of the USSR to later become both arguably the wealthiest and the most influential man in Ukraine.

He even owned Burisma when it employed Hunter Biden (more on this in a moment).

I understand you are unhappy that our coverage of Brexit has not asked questions about the need for an “itemised EU £39bn Divorce Bill.”
Firstly, let me assure you that impartiality is central to all of our news and current affairs reporting and we ensure all our presenters and production teams are aware of this to help us deliver fair and balanced coverage for all the stories we report.
We have devoted extensive coverage to the issue of the so-called ‘divorce bill’ in our reporting on the Brexit negotiations. Examples of some of the articles featured on the BBC News website can be found below:
The BBC does not have an opinion on the European Union or on the United Kingdom’s relationship with it. In the period since the referendum in June 2016, we have tried to explore and explain the often complex factors which affect our audience and we have provided representatives from across the political spectrum with the opportunity to air their views.
We do not aim to denigrate any view or to promote any view on this issue. Our goal is simply to provide our audience with enough information in order that they can draw their own conclusions.
Nevertheless, I would like to assure you that we value your feedback. All complaints are sent to senior management and programme makers every morning and we included your points in our overnight reports. These reports are among the most widely read sources of feedback in the BBC and ensures that your complaint has been seen by the right people quickly. This helps inform their decisions about current and future output.

General booking for my autumn book tour is officially now open! Come and hear me chat about my new book, Strangeland: How Britain Stopped Making Sense.
I’ll see you there!
“The Strange Death of Europe: Immigration, Identity, Islam”
The Strange Death of Europe is a highly personal account of a continent and culture caught in the act of suicide. Declining birth-rates, mass immigration and cultivated self-distrust and self-hatred have come together to make Europeans unable to argue for themselves and incapable of resisting their own comprehensive change as a society.
This book is not only an analysis of demographic and political realities, but also an eyewitness account of a continent in self-destruct mode. It includes reporting from across the entire continent, from the places where migrants land to the places they end up, from the people who appear to welcome them in to the places which cannot accept them.
World at one – happy day for HamasBBC – bad day for Israel . The pier is open and supplies for Hamas will start to flow – let’s hope there’s a big storm …
The BBContinues to refer to ‘Hamas fighters ‘ – so they are not terrorists – despite British law saying they are – is the BBC committing a crime of ‘aiding terrorism ‘?
If Israel had been prepared to supply and administer the aid it could have chosen who to give it to, but it decided not to do that, leaving it to others.
However knowing what people have told me Hamas is only a few people at the top who basically find some random bloke, stick a rifle in his hands and suddenly he’s “Hamas” – only until he puts it down or gives it back and then he’s a civilian again, making it impossible to fight an enemy like that, unless you kill 2 million people
STARTS a new rail service between Rochdale and London is being introduced to the benefit of BBC staff working at its northern outpost.
Plans for a route terminating in Rochdale, nestled in the Pennine Hills 10 miles north of Manchester, will aid those travelling to the BBC’s Media City office in Salford.
Rochdale, a former mill town of 110,000 people, last had its own rail connection to the capital a quarter of a century ago.
Passengers from the area will benefit from a new three-hour service along the West Coast Main Line to London Euston, travelling at speeds of up to 125mph.
FirstGroup, which is behind the proposal, said the service will support around 1.6 million people in the region.
Operations are planned from 2027 under FirstGroup’s Lumo brand, requiring a fleet of around half a dozen new trains.
Japan’s Hitachi is expected to be best-placed to secure the procurement contract, having supplied Lumo’s existing five-train fleet from its plant in Newton Aycliffe, County Durham.
The trains will operate under overhead wires as far as Manchester and be equipped with batteries to complete the last few miles on the unelectrified line to Rochdale.
At the heart of the plan is the restoration of direct London trains to Manchester Victoria station, once one of Britain’s major rail hubs but in recent years reduced to providing mostly local trains and semi-fast services to other northern cities.
The service will also stop at Eccles, which FirstGroup said will serve nearby Salford and provide Media City employees with a convenient route to London.
This will mean they do not have to travel to Piccadilly Station, Manchester’s hub for trains to the capital.
MediaCity hosts 3,200 employees and is home to BBC Sport, BBC Breakfast, Radio 5 Live and the BBC Philharmonic, as well as children’s and religious programming and local TV and radio.
The trains, which will offer wi-fi and at-seat catering, will make two more stops before heading to Euston, and are set to make six return journeys a day,
Lumo, launched in 2021, already operates a service between London and Edinburgh, which it is looking to extend to Glasgow, while sister brand Hull Trains has been operating between London and the Yorkshire city since 2000.
The company has applied to run the new Rochdale service under open access rules that allow for the launch of new routes not catered to by existing franchises where demand is sufficient.
Other open access operators include Arriva UK’s Grand Central, which provides services to Sunderland and Bradford from King’s Cross, though several more have fallen by the wayside after proving unviable, including a service from London Marylebone to Wrexham.
Labour’s plan to renationalise the railways by taking franchises under state ownership as they expire shouldn’t impact the plan, according to FirstGroup, which cited a commitment to retain the open access model in the recent Getting Britain Moving strategy.
FirstGroup already runs Manchester’s existing express service to London through its Avanti West Coast business.ENDS

Heading for trouble ..
Daily, increasingly more people (particularly white), slaughtered on the streets of the UK. Focus on the elderly, young women children and other weak groups. Meanwhile, the Home Office islamic contingent search around for more objects to call, “Offensive Weapons” and ban. Two ends to the middle in their desire to render Brits defenceless in preparation for their takeover. Has Rich Sunak approved a hand-over date yet?
Just like the assassination attempt on Fico is highly suspicious so was the attack on Amess. Few questioned the narrative but as in all these cases they use supposed lone nutjobs to cover for their crimes. Of course, in Amess’s case, the killer was a supposedly disgruntled Arab. The usual playbook. Amess was starting to question Government policy on the stabs and lockdowns before his termination. At the Old Bailey, Judge Mr Justice Sweeney said: “This was a murder that struck at the heart of our democracy.” This type of language is a red flag to any self-respecting swivel-eyed conspiracy loon. It’s what the communists running the SED 2.0 in Germany continually pump out on their controlled mainstream media. The AfD is a danger to our democracy.
Sirhan Sirhan is a classic case of this. A supposed unhinged Palestinian he did not assassinate Robert Kennedy as the bullet that killed him was a contact shot behind the ear and Sirhan was in front of him, never getting closer than six feet to Kennedy. Yet still, his murder by Mossad and the CIA is brushed under the carpet. Such is the power of the controllers.
I don’t know who killed RFK, but it is an absolute fact it was not Sirhan Sirhan. RFK was shot from behind at point blank range with a .22 pistol. The only man in that position with a .22 was his “guard”, Thane Eugene Cesar. No-one else could have shot RFK. Sirhan was a patsy.
Rest of the worlds headline:
Zelensky blames ‘whole world’ for Ukraine’s failures in Kharkov
BBC’s headline:
Kharkiv fighting difficult but under control – Zelensky
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4n1nqrv2e8o
Apparently the comedian says just 2 more free Patriot systems would stop the Russian invasion of Kharkov.
Of course he’s lying. It might make it more difficult, but the end result is inevitable. They only question is how many die and how much of the city is destroyed first.
Can’t help but like the little fella can you.
Here he is when he was an actor:
It seems the only one interested in discussing any kind of political solution is Putin. Unluckily for Ukraine, it has been deemed that they will fight to the last man.
I would include women – but since every other Ukranian soldier was a woman before the war started then they all vanished to be replaced by men with beards, I’ll assume I was just being fed another lie.
A subliminal electioneering message by the BBC, on our local radio station. “Things Will Only Get Better” by D:Ream was played just after one of the much repeated news item, Smarmer’s great new plan for Britain yesterday.
The close association of the song to Bliar and New Labour must surely be known to the controllers.
Smarmer’s great new plan, incidentally, was nothing more than a wish list with nothing to actually indicate how his great ideas will be achieved.
Actually it was Kinnock, so the memories have poignancy.
The pre-election landslide bun-struggle was a joy to watch with our Neil, ‘Thumper’ Prescott and Mandy all gigging along like teenies, counting chickens the whiles.
Faces grew longer as the night progressed – surely the BBC aren’t being prescient here? Cancel the bubbly?
It was Bliar sorry
The apology must be mine – a case of getting both wires and personnel crossed!
Oh dear, how sad, never mind.

Palestinian student who was ‘full of pride’ at Hamas attacks against Israel claims Home Office revoked her visa ‘on national security grounds’.
Dana Abuqamar, 19, a law student at the University of Manchester, attended a pro-Palestine protest just one day after Hamas carried out its October 7 attack
During the demonstration, Ms Abuqamar, president of Manchester Friends of Palestine, was filmed saying she was ‘really full of joy’ and ‘proud that Palestinian resistance has come to this point’.
She has now claimed that the UK Government has ‘violated her human rights’ by rescinding her student visa on the ‘baseless’ accusation that she is a ‘risk to public safety’.
The Home Office told MailOnline it does not comment on individual cases and it remains unclear precisely what revoking the visa means for the teenager’s future in Britain.
In a new video released this week, Ms Abuqamar confirmed she would be appealing the decision and said her remarks in October, which were publicly condemned by policing minister Chris Philp, had been misrepresented.
‘My words were taken out of context and they were framed as me supporting harm to innocent civilians, which is completely false and completely untrue,’ she told the Middle East Eye.
The UK Home Office decided to revoke my student visa following public statements supporting the Palestinian right to exercise under international law to resist oppression and break through the siege that was illegally placed on Gaza for over 16 years.’
She added: ‘It’s an outrageous claim that the Home Office is making by deeming me a national security threat.
I am a 19-year-old who has done nothing but go to school and advocate for social justice and try and be an asset to my community.
‘So saying I pose a threat to national security is a completely baseless claim.’
She told the news outlet that her legal team had lodged a ‘human rights appeal’ against the decision.
Ms Abuqamar, who is in her final year as a law student, said that before coming to Britain she believed ‘freedom of expression is a fundamental human right that’s cherished here.
—————————————————–
Get here on a plane and out of here.
Plus all the the terrorist supporters who weren’t born here.
“She has now claimed that the UK Government has ‘violated her human rights’ by rescinding her student visa on the ‘baseless’ accusation that she is a ‘risk to public safety’.”
“Ms Abuqamar, who is in her final year as a law student, said that before coming to Britain she believed ‘freedom of expression is a fundamental human right that’s cherished here.”
freedom of expression is a fundamental human right that’s cherished here– but not in GAZA!
I read this and although I absolutely abhor her views, she should in a free society with freedom of speech have the right to say it, and the state should have no power to intervene. Society should be the ones to judge.
Freedom of speech means what it says the freedom to express views without the fear of the state exacting violence upon the person as a result.
We might not like what she said, and I certainly don’t, but she didn’t incite others or invite anyone else to join her in support for a terrorist organisation.
Is she a threat to National Security? Well as always in these situations we are not party to what the intelligence services know and the evidence they hold on her, and lets face it we can’t trust the UK media to tell the truth even if they know it!
In my opinion it should be a matter of policy that all student visas are granted on the condition that the holder does not get involved in politics in any way, and that a breach of that would lead to an immediate cancellation of that visa.
There have been far too many interntational student coming to Britain whose primary motive has been political, in the past and we now have students from China who are political officers from the CCP attending uni to keep watch over their fellows.

You missed the word ‘terrorist’ before ‘detainee’ there BBC.
Considering what these people did to Israel, I’m surprised they aren’t just shooting them like vermin.
Isn’t it amazing what the BBC will ignore when it suits them (such as Hamas fighting from UN bases and using civilians as human shields) but kick up a great big stink over something like this.
And look at just at how outrageous this abuse is:

French police kill man trying to ‘burn synagogue’
They do like ‘quotes’.
There is an interesting aspect to Jewish culture, most Jews are extremely pragmatic towards other faiths and cultures. I seen and experienced this directly. A significant proportion of the Israel are Islamic Arabs, there are even Palestinians living in Israel. Sure, there are tensions but by and large, Jewish Israelis just get on with trading and working alongside the “others”. In contrast, the Islamics are, with exceptions, extremely intolerant.
Jewish people assume people are born into a family with faith and expect children to follow that faith. Jews believe Judaism is the Jewish way to G-d but don’t expect others to follow the Jewish faith but the one they were born into. Jews don’t expect people to convert to Judaism.
Within Judaism voices in the US have criticised how difficult is actually is to convert. Knock and be turned away from the synagogue door three times?
The New York reform Rabbis have therefore made it a little easier to convert these days though.

Apologies to all ladies present of course…
I have a little side-story regarding the media’s treatment of Nixon. It’s not bbc, but it is to do with bias. I was a youngster at the time of the Nixon / Kennedy faceoff, so I can only watch the newsreels of the day. The story goes that during the televised debates, Nixon was placed underneath the biggest (And hottest) lighting rig. He was offered no “touchups” to his makeup and general appearance, whereas Kennedy had a whole team from the tv company dabbing his brow when the camera wasn’t on him, applying fresh makeup and preening his hair. If you watch it, take a look at Nixon. He actually has streams of sweat running through his hair and down his face. Not a good look and quite intentional.
As I say, not bbc, but it shows that this blatant bias has been running for a long time.
Crooked Joe (Not my name for him but I like the guy who coined it) will sure as anything find a reason to not appear on any right-leaning tv companies’ debate, and certainly nothing with a live audience.
Mick – that interview is used as an example of how the radio interview won over the TV version ….

There’s a mystery today – French police have shot a ‘man ‘ dead . The ‘man ‘was apparently trying to set fire to a synagogue … it was described as ‘anti semitic ‘ … so it was an attack by a ‘nazi ‘ right ? Or was it by someone else ? With another ‘motivation ‘?
We don’t know .
Will we get a clue if the dead ‘man ‘ is named ? Could he – perhaps – be called ‘Mohammed ‘? .. could this suggest it was an attack by Islam ?
Will we ever be told …? No TV licences please ..
And has the BBC reported yet the attack on the Israeli embassy in Stockholm? Mahyar Tousi has and I don’t think he receives any thing like the funding the BBC gets.

Where have we heard that before edition
Our propaganda polluted media mainstream (Mr AsI advises consumers to always boil, filter and distill prior to consumption) brings us somewhat of a dull and colourless flow of slow news day headlines today.
The BBC rediscovers that almost forgotten war we now take for granted – you’ll remember the one about which the Daily Express once used to daily proclaim frontpage its unity: …with the people of Ukraine.
For top online news story our BBC goes with: Ukraine’s defence lines stretched as Russian troops advance
Not to worry, the Biden adminstration has got this: ‘Free world is with you’: Antony Blinken plays guitar in Kyiv bar… Showing solidarity for Ukrainians, the US Secretary of State played the Neil Young song Rockin’ in the Free World (Telegraph)
Blinken rocks out on a road to nowhere… The Secretary of State delivered remarks to Ukraine this week that paint a rosy scenario defying reality… bitterly ironic protest song, “Rockin’ in the Free World” in a Kyiv bar. His speech Tuesday laying out the U.S. plan for a “Free, Secure, and Prosperous Future for Ukraine” was full of ironies as well, although he’d prefer that we be oblivious to those too… After almost two and a half years of war, the speech announced a “stay the course” approach… Rather than use the recent $60 billion aid package to lay the groundwork for a feasible plan to end the conflict, the speech promised continued U.S. support for unconditional victory and continued efforts to bring Ukraine into NATO, one of the issues that helped to trigger the war in the first place.

And it wouldn’t be the frontpage of the corproate globalist FT without a “far-right” or two.
Netanyahu’s alliance with the far right bodes ill for Israel (FT, November 2022); The far right is moving into Europe’s mainstream… Geert Wilders… Viktor Orbán of Hungary… Giorgia Meloni… The Sweden Democrats… Robert Fico, a populist who dabbles with far-right themes, is back as prime minister of Slovakia (FT, November 2023) – full house – watch this space on that last chap.
Today the pink paper rolls out the “far-right” warning red light spotlight to alight on Germany: Far-right MP investigated… A corruption investigation into Petr Bystron, an MP for Germany’s far-right AfD party, has been launched (FT) – far-right… got that?
And there’s more – as comic Jimmy Cricket used to say

“Truths turn into dogmas the instant that they are disputed. Thus every man who utters a doubt defines a religion. And the scepticism of our time does not really destroy the beliefs, rather it creates them; gives them their limits and their plain and defiant shape. We who are Liberals once held Liberalism lightly as a truism. Now it has been disputed, and we hold it fiercely as a faith. We who believe in patriotism once thought patriotism to be reasonable, and thought little more about it. Now we know it to be unreasonable, and know it to be right. We who are Christians never knew the great philosophic common sense which inheres in that mystery until the anti-Christian writers pointed it out to us. The great march of mental destruction will go on. Everything will be denied. Everything will become a creed. It is a reasonable position to deny the stones in the street; it will be a religious dogma to assert them. It is a rational thesis that we are all in a dream; it will be a mystical sanity to say that we are all awake. Fires will be kindled to testify that two and two make four. Swords will be drawn to prove that leaves are green in summer. We shall be left defending, not only the incredible virtues and sanities of human life, but something more incredible still, this huge impossible universe which stares us in the face. We shall fight for visible prodigies as if they were invisible. We shall look on the impossible grass and the skies with a strange courage. We shall be of those who have seen and yet have believed.”

2 Thessalonians:
2 Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, 2 not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us—whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter—asserting that the day of the Lord has already come. 3 Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness[a] is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. 4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.
5 Don’t you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things? 6 And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. 7 For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, 10 and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.
“He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.”

BBC Podcast – “Not a monster either”
The Sunday Times under 40 rich list has been published and as might be expected it’s full of the ‘creative’ types who moan about social justice and influence their generation.
I never used to believe in a wealth tax, but I am now a firm convert after realising that it is possible to amass a fortune of hundreds of millions and pay no income tax what so ever, yet still live in Britain and enjoy all the priveledges legally.
Clever accountants and lawyers making use of tax havens, offshore trusts etc make sure every thing is legal above board and most of all that a minimal amount of tax is paid.
As Leona Helmsley said – only the little people pay tax.
Sunak and family increased their wealth last year by a staggering £105 Million and yet they had no legal liability to pay any tax at all on that!
We the tax paying people are paying their share of the tax burden and that’s just not fair.

So who is Ihor Kolomoisky, anyway?
Born in Dnipro, Ukraine (while it was part of the Soviet Union), Mr Kolomoisky capitalized on the opportunities in the “import-export business” that surfaced with the collapse of the USSR to later become both arguably the wealthiest and the most influential man in Ukraine. He once owned Ukraine’s largest private bank, prior to its state nationalization. He also owned Ukraine’s most influential media company. He even owned Burisma when it employed Hunter Biden (more on this in a moment).
Curious about Ukraine?

I understand you are unhappy that our coverage of Brexit has not asked questions about the need for an “itemised EU £39bn Divorce Bill.”
Firstly, let me assure you that impartiality is central to all of our news and current affairs reporting and we ensure all our presenters and production teams are aware of this to help us deliver fair and balanced coverage for all the stories we report.
We have devoted extensive coverage to the issue of the so-called ‘divorce bill’ in our reporting on the Brexit negotiations. Examples of some of the articles featured on the BBC News website can be found below:

The BBC does not have an opinion on the European Union or on the United Kingdom’s relationship with it. In the period since the referendum in June 2016, we have tried to explore and explain the often complex factors which affect our audience and we have provided representatives from across the political spectrum with the opportunity to air their views.
We do not aim to denigrate any view or to promote any view on this issue. Our goal is simply to provide our audience with enough information in order that they can draw their own conclusions.
Nevertheless, I would like to assure you that we value your feedback. All complaints are sent to senior management and programme makers every morning and we included your points in our overnight reports. These reports are among the most widely read sources of feedback in the BBC and ensures that your complaint has been seen by the right people quickly. This helps inform their decisions about current and future output.
Thank you once again for getting in touch.

I’ll see you there!
1 per 10mins so far. Early days.
“Strangeland: How Britain Stopped Making Sense”
“The Strange Death of Europe: Immigration, Identity, Islam”
The Strange Death of Europe is a highly personal account of a continent and culture caught in the act of suicide. Declining birth-rates, mass immigration and cultivated self-distrust and self-hatred have come together to make Europeans unable to argue for themselves and incapable of resisting their own comprehensive change as a society.
This book is not only an analysis of demographic and political realities, but also an eyewitness account of a continent in self-destruct mode. It includes reporting from across the entire continent, from the places where migrants land to the places they end up, from the people who appear to welcome them in to the places which cannot accept them.
World at one – happy day for HamasBBC – bad day for Israel . The pier is open and supplies for Hamas will start to flow – let’s hope there’s a big storm …
The BBContinues to refer to ‘Hamas fighters ‘ – so they are not terrorists – despite British law saying they are – is the BBC committing a crime of ‘aiding terrorism ‘?
If Israel had been prepared to supply and administer the aid it could have chosen who to give it to, but it decided not to do that, leaving it to others.
However knowing what people have told me Hamas is only a few people at the top who basically find some random bloke, stick a rifle in his hands and suddenly he’s “Hamas” – only until he puts it down or gives it back and then he’s a civilian again, making it impossible to fight an enemy like that, unless you kill 2 million people
2 million would be a good start.

From the DT – BBC to have its own railway .
STARTS a new rail service between Rochdale and London is being introduced to the benefit of BBC staff working at its northern outpost.
Plans for a route terminating in Rochdale, nestled in the Pennine Hills 10 miles north of Manchester, will aid those travelling to the BBC’s Media City office in Salford.
Rochdale, a former mill town of 110,000 people, last had its own rail connection to the capital a quarter of a century ago.
Passengers from the area will benefit from a new three-hour service along the West Coast Main Line to London Euston, travelling at speeds of up to 125mph.
FirstGroup, which is behind the proposal, said the service will support around 1.6 million people in the region.
Operations are planned from 2027 under FirstGroup’s Lumo brand, requiring a fleet of around half a dozen new trains.
Japan’s Hitachi is expected to be best-placed to secure the procurement contract, having supplied Lumo’s existing five-train fleet from its plant in Newton Aycliffe, County Durham.
The trains will operate under overhead wires as far as Manchester and be equipped with batteries to complete the last few miles on the unelectrified line to Rochdale.
At the heart of the plan is the restoration of direct London trains to Manchester Victoria station, once one of Britain’s major rail hubs but in recent years reduced to providing mostly local trains and semi-fast services to other northern cities.
The service will also stop at Eccles, which FirstGroup said will serve nearby Salford and provide Media City employees with a convenient route to London.
This will mean they do not have to travel to Piccadilly Station, Manchester’s hub for trains to the capital.
MediaCity hosts 3,200 employees and is home to BBC Sport, BBC Breakfast, Radio 5 Live and the BBC Philharmonic, as well as children’s and religious programming and local TV and radio.
The trains, which will offer wi-fi and at-seat catering, will make two more stops before heading to Euston, and are set to make six return journeys a day,
Lumo, launched in 2021, already operates a service between London and Edinburgh, which it is looking to extend to Glasgow, while sister brand Hull Trains has been operating between London and the Yorkshire city since 2000.
The company has applied to run the new Rochdale service under open access rules that allow for the launch of new routes not catered to by existing franchises where demand is sufficient.
Other open access operators include Arriva UK’s Grand Central, which provides services to Sunderland and Bradford from King’s Cross, though several more have fallen by the wayside after proving unviable, including a service from London Marylebone to Wrexham.
Labour’s plan to renationalise the railways by taking franchises under state ownership as they expire shouldn’t impact the plan, according to FirstGroup, which cited a commitment to retain the open access model in the recent Getting Britain Moving strategy.
FirstGroup already runs Manchester’s existing express service to London through its Avanti West Coast business.ENDS
There is another plan for the BBC to have its own motorway and tube line …
Will it speed everything up?
