A rat:
“rat 2 of 2 verb
ratted; ratting
intransitive verb
1
: to betray, desert, or inform on one’s associates —usually used with on
2
: to catch or hunt rats
3
: to work as a scab”
A sinking ship:
“Yet he will know that record is in serious jeopardy the longer he stays at this sinking ship.”
The Sun (2015)
Combining the two:
‘Rats Leaving a Sinking Ship”
A lot of seemingly good causes turn out to be tricks, fronts for socialist agenda pushing.
Who is not against the torture of innocent Africans ?
I am against that
Yet when I look at the charity @FreefromTorture I see tweets from their boss @SonyaSceats are extreme anti-tory ranting
I came across the charity while I flipped channel to BBC2. It was the Chelsea Flower Show and on the screen they were just switching to an item about the “Freedom From Torture Garden” and the producer had chosen a black female presenter to do the item.
.. https://x.com/FreefromTorture/status/1793222414597284013
So, a distinct lack of anti torturer rants then ?
Quelle surprise !
Or maybe not, considering who is likely to be doing the torturing….

TOADY Watch #1 – In which Mishal Husain interviews Sir Keir Starmer ….
…. and guess what? The Sucker in charge of the Labour Party on Friday morning had a much easier time than Nick Robinson afforded the Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, on Thursday morning. Mishal did try to probe a bit but she wasn’t the usual
HeadHarshmistress that she is with Conservative Party politicians. A bit of persistence over Diane Abbott and that was pretty much it.Who cares? They’ve had 14 long years to defund these parasites and done sweet FA.
They’ve huffed and puffed, blathered and waffled and backed down to every woke trope they were presented with.
The Conservatives are getting just what they deserve. A bloody good hiding.
I despise them…
Yes pandering to the yoof agenda, completely missing the fact that it is generally the grey vote that wins an election
unless thik tok facebook is down on the day
Jeff, only nine years. From 2010-2015 the Conservatives were in a Coalition Government with the LiberalNonDemocrats. I cannot see Nick Clegg being willing to defund the BBC. After all, he jumped ship to become the European head of Facebook or somesuch.
It’s just a shame that the bloody good hiding will be a metaphorical one at the polls instead of, my personal preference, a real one behind the bike sheds.
COVID, Big Pharma and very big donations to UK media to promote vaccinations – includes the BBC in a number of sequence I am watching, many by the Bill Gates Foundation and the global pharma behind it.
Not just the BBC but all of them were uncritical at the time, as deaths became evident (from vaccinations) they had stock Doctors who were paid by the same companies paying the media BBC being the biggest bung, by size. (you’ll hear that in this video by Paul Weston).
And behind all this was the denial that the Virus was made in China and ‘released’ somehow around the world accidentally. Well worth a watch in my opinion.
After this when your read that the WEF want to run the net emergency pandemic, you know what will happen next and ‘refusniks’ (like me) – will not be tolerated – or allowed to voice any concerns at all. And that will include ALL those brave Doctors who protested at the time and many still state officially it has damaged children and many adults have had early sudden heart attacks a short time after vaccination.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/articles/2024/how-we-are-covering-the-uk-general-election/
“How we are covering the UK General Election”
Deborah Turness
CEO, BBC News and Current Affairs
“Unlike some media, the BBC cannot, does not and will not pick sides in the election. We are here for everyone, however you cast your ballot. Because it’s not our job to tell people what to think or who to vote for.”
“Elections can be chaotic and confusing, with so many claims and counter-claims. We will work through the noise to bring you clarity on the important issues. And we know that disinformation will be a factor like never before, so BBC Verify will be there with the tools to separate fact from fake.”
“But none of that will stop us from listening and constantly asking ourselves whether we are getting it right. And during a six-week campaign, with the hundreds of hours of programmes we will broadcast, and the thousands of words we will publish, it’s inevitable we will make mistakes. And when we do we will hold our hands up to them, we will correct them, and we will transparently explain.”
“We will work to deliver that same transparency in all of our journalism. We’ve asked our journalists to not just tell you what we know, but how we know it – and, just as importantly, what we don’t know. To “pull back the curtain” on the work we all do behind the scenes to ensure that the BBC’s journalism meets the high standards set by our editorial guidelines.
You’ve told us that the more you know about how we do our work, the more you can trust it. If you know how it’s made, you can trust what it says. So we will show we’ve heard you by placing transparency at the heart of what we do.
But we need something from you too. What are the big issues that are impacting your life that politicians need to know about? What are the questions you need answered? More than ever before we will be inviting you to tell us the answers so we can be sure that we are reflecting the priorities of voters across the country. So look out for invitations to participate in programmes and to help inform our journalism so we can do the best job of working on your behalf.
The BBC has another important job, and that is to bring people together. In an increasingly fragmented world of social media echo chambers, where algorithms serve people more and more content that reflects their own point of view, it’s vital we have a shared space where we can listen to each other and – yes – agree to disagree. As Britain’s public service broadcaster, we pledge to be that place – where everyone has a voice – on whatever platform they use.
We are the UK’s most trusted news organisation, and I want you to know that we are here, working hard during this election, to earn your trust and deliver what you need – so you can make your own choice.”
Will they tackle THE big subject on most voters’ minds – immigration? Will their coverage of it be ‘impartial’ and ‘transparent’?
I won’t be holding my breath…
It amazes me that they can lie through their teeth like this yet keep a straight face.
On GBNews Patrick Chrystis reported tomorrow’s headlines. Apparently, the Telegraph is suggesting the Conservatives will get rid of Inheritance Tax should they win the election. I don’t know how the Tories can suggest it with a straight face. They have had 14 years to do it and have kept hinting and not doing.
I never forget when Boris said something and added ‘They’ didn’t want him to say it. Are those the people who won’t let Lord Frost stand as a Conservative. I really believe there is somebody controlling the Conservative Party with the intention of destroying it. Meanwhile Labour will finish the job of destroying the country. The Russians? The Chinese? Soros? Gates? We are in for a bumpy ride.
Steve Bannon speaks hard on the Tory bosses
We say “we are prepared to stand and fight”
‘they start namecalling.. that means we’re winning’
“But the Conservatives won’t stand up to that.
They crawl up in the foetal position cos they are not going to be ACCEPTED AT THE CLUB
But us we are unclubbable, we are going to step up and save our country the US”

Who introduced VAT on fuel bills ? Ed did
Who put in the plan for the current grid that costs more cos of renewables ? Ed did
a tweet
“You were the energy secretary to Gordon Brown and were the architect, implementing green levies on everybody’s domestic bills.
How you have the brass neck to post this video is beyond me and tells me all about ‘changed’ Labour!”
“Can you imagine being a former Energy Secretary that put the kybosh on new nuclear and then (two decades later) banging on about energy prices?”
Ed has previous…? ( There seemed to be an element of organised groups starting with Labour members?)
tomo, we have been promised ‘cheap electricity’ before now. Wind, solar, none of which works all the time.
StewGreen,
“Who introduced VAT on fuel bills ? Ed did”.
Nope, it was John Major’s government in 1994. Get your facts right Stew.
BTW Steve Bannon is on stay for a 4 month prison sentence for refusing to testify to Jan 6th commission
He maintains he has a right not to testify and refused to defend the prosecution in 2022
“On May 10, 2024, the appellate court unanimously upheld the conviction and on May 14, the DOJ filed a motion to lift Bannon’s stay of sentence and have him report to prison”
Then there is another New York case against for a Build The Wall fundraising body he set up
\\He surrendered to authorities on September 8.[311] The trial was originally expected to start May 27, 2024, however it was postponed to September 23, 2024 because the judge in that case, Juan Merchan, was also overseeing the Trump “hush-money” case and was unavailable at that time //
coincidence
oooh… it disappeared

The pro-Trump ‘meme team’ behind video referencing ‘Reich’
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c7228wlpe0ko
Here we go. It’s open season to churn out as many anti-Trump and anti-Conservative articles as they can. The BBC know that as long as they stay behind the ‘red-lines’ of what they have got away with already, OFCOM will stay silent. And of course they will nudge those lines out just a little bit further as they always do.
This article is all about pro-Trump memes and how nasty the people who make them are. Even though it’s nothing to do with Trump, they get his name in there 34 times just so you associate him with bad things.
We get told: ‘Some of the videos and memes created by the team – which consists of around two dozen accounts – are crude and insulting parodies of music videos or other content.’
Basically the whole article is about how bad memes are when the Right do them.
Those nasty pics maxi spends his time creating are memes too. And as I surf the net, the only ones I ever come across are those by the Left. And they are never just jokes, they always have a ‘nasty’ element..
But the cherry on the top of this cake is this article:
‘Internet memes mock Donald Trump by making him look small – literally’
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-39015879
Where the BBC take great delight is showing us as many of them as they can. No less than 8 big pictures all mocking Trump.
And they even provide a link where you can go to see more with the quote:
‘Most of the images can be seen on this trending subreddit. Its moderator, posting as revolution486, wrote: “I’m really excited to get Trump to respond to the meme.”‘
Totally opposite and as clear an example of the gross BBC bias and double standards as you are likely to find.
The author – Mike Wendling – is another BBC reporter who also contributes to the extremely Left-wing Yahoo and MSN. And also wrote the book ‘Alt-Right From 4chan to the White House’ where he desperately tries to link Trump to ‘extremists with terror attacks and hate crimes’. Here’s a review:
‘Filled with misleading or incorrect info. He lumps various non-related groups/people/things in with the alt-right. He often dismisses issues without offering a counter argument or evidence. There isn’t any depth, it’s a biased summary of events.’
‘And he makes it all vague enough to give the “normies” the impression this is 100% fact and unbiased. And it only confirms what the progressive left already believe.’
Sounds EXACTLY like Panorama to me.
I wonder how many BBC staff have written books about the far-Left. My guess is zero.
Another impartial BBC member of staff then. Just like Sopes was with his books. Why are we forced to fund these people ?.
JohnC,
“Why are we forced to fund these people?”
TV licences are compulsory in Thailand? Blimey.
I’m still actually a UK resident maxi – but don’t let the truth get in the way of your fantasies.
I looked for counter viewpoints
Russian propaganda about Azov has been highly effective.
The current 12th brigade is mostly unrelated to the original Azov battalion, which no longer exists.
Despite this, the ban indicates that US policy is more influenced by russian propaganda than by factual evidence.
thread https://x.com/joni_askola/status/1792888547185217973
Some Ukrainian Jewish people support and serve in the Azov Regiment. A 2018 BBC report gave the example of one of its most prominent members, co-founder Nathan Khazin, a leader of the “Jewish hundreds” during the 2013 Euromaidan protests in Kyiv. Khazin and his supporters in the regiment often display the flag of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army with a Star of David added onto it.[28] Jewish-Ukrainian billionaire Ihor Kolomoyskyi was the main source of Azov’s funding before it was incorporated into the National Guard.[23][45]
In 2022, in a commentary published by the Center of Civil Liberties, antisemitism researcher Vyacheslav Likhachev said that despite Mariupol’s fairly large Jewish community, there had not been any incidents between members of the Azov Regiment and the Jewish community since 2014
Some say Azov is not a battalion
Dramaqueening there ..the tweet is dated 23 May
One reply says
“It’s a military exercise, the same kind they have done a million times.
It’s usually a way to put pressure on someone else, or to distract their own people.
Nothing new”
@Artemisfornow describes her own tweet
“A bit banty. But far bigger than normal. Eyes open.”
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cqvv29gpqn1o
Stew
definite dramaqueening – but rehearsing an invasion in plain view is still a bit off – the mainland could simply buy Taiwan with its excess of US dollars?
It’s beyond parody that any politician could consider conscripting young, white working-class men to go and die on a foreign field to defend some nation they couldn’t find on a bloody map.
My people have been ridiculed, betrayed and despised for generations and our homeland has changed before “our very eyes”, like some appalling cultural conjuring trick.
The country we want to defend is this one…but our masters aren’t interested in that…
The government have imported hundreds of thousands of fighting aged men. I’m sure they’re very grateful.
Let them go and fight…
Jeff – I looked at the Foreign Section of the Israeli government website . It gives numbers and details of the IDF killed in action as well as numbers injured . It is the sort of information the BBC will never show – the sacrifice by many young Israelis fighting for the survival of their country and the people in it .
4000 Islamic Hamas carried out that 7 October slaughter – on the 8th id have given gazans 48 hours to leave and then create a flat zone with a new border —— no tunnels – nothing … but Israel chose a restrained response…
Keep going IDF..
maxis post about anti-semetism had me thinking the other day:
This is the current Leftist situation:
Insults against Muslims : racist
Insults against Blacks : racist
Insults against Jews : anti-semetic.
And the ultimate irony is that ‘anti-semetic’ is the only one of the list which is actually racism.
The others are collective groupings from different races and should be called anti-Islamic or anti-black.
How very convenient that the nasty word ‘racist’ is only used for people THEY don’t like.
One of the many reasons the ethics of the Left disgust me so much. They are complete hypocrites. maxi is a good reminder of just what low-life they are when they can hide behind a mask.
Be fair. A lot of them are massive lowlifes in plain view.
Lefties don’t have ethics, just rather odd theories so suit their tiresome existence…
Scroblene, May 25, 2024:
“Lefties don’t have ethics, just rather odd theories so suit their tiresome existence…”
Scroblene, June 20, 2022:
“Rolf Harris was stitched up… Back then all sorts of kids were dying to get up nice and dirty with ‘slebs’ and now they see a way to get a few quid, they scream and shout.”
JohnC, May 25, 2024:
“the ultimate irony is that ‘anti-semetic’ is the only one of the list which is actually racism.
JohnC, August 24, 2023:
“What a shame Mehdi (and all other leftist hate-filled anti-white racists who spend all their time
looking for someone to vent it on) is unable to grasp that religion has nothing to do with ‘race’ and
hence you can’t use it as a basis to call someone racist”
That all you’ve got maxi ?.
I’ll take it as admission that I’m right then.
Let’s try a little Gedankenexperiment. The Politburo starts trying to incentivise and then pressurise young people to join the armed forces. The uptake is risible. We know this will be the case. Meanwhile, the BBC hypes up the threat posed by Russia and tells us Russian tanks will be rolling up Whitehall by the end of the week if we don’t do something fast.
The Politburo suddenly realises it has millions of foreign fighting-aged men on its soil, well-fed and ready for action. With the consent of the naive public (and we know just how naive they are) It proposes fast-tracking these men’s application for British passports and then recruits them into the forces as a kind of quid pro quo.
You now have a standing army of three million foreigners on your soil whose allegiance is not to this country.
What happens next?
A little bit BBC related ( because they don’t ask ) .
Parliament is going to exonerate the previously convicted sub postmasters .
The BBC are getting their usual to say Parliament is impinging on the judges territory.
OK fair enough . Let one institution not stray into another institutions remit .
So let’s not have judicial activism. If Parliament votes on an issue and it’s passed – like the Rwanda bill – then that’s that and no judges stopping any policies.

Disappointing political news – now Gove has chosen to head for the almost full life boat as the blue boat sinks – I was really looking forward to seeing his moosh when he lost his seat along with another 300 blues on 4th July ….
They must be panicking as their polling shows how hated they are by taxpayers – and what a lefty rabble they became .
Meanwhile – death – Friday saw a 16 year old boy stabbed to death in Hayes at 130pm – and a woman stabbed to death / another serious on a beach in Bournemouth – this case gets ‘attention ‘ – but the 16 year old barely mentioned …
Fedup, it will be interesting what some ex senior Conservatives do post election. It might reveal their paymasters but of course the BBC won’t report it. Didn’t Mrs May receive some very generous payment for some speeches paid by a Soros connected foundation? I think I read somewhere a figure of £3 million.
Deborah – I saw that zadawi?has already been signed up by a bank – but the market value of so many unemployed leaches should make them cheap to buy ….
.. their other problem will be how high on the peerage list will they be? I guess rishi will avoid the Lords so that finances are not declared – but the likes of Gove and May will take theirs –
This weekend might cause more to decide it’s not worth fighting a lost cause – let’s hope so .
I don’t think they’ll ever see why they are so hated – but there must be a price for being socialist but pretending not to be …
.. I knew this wouid happen – throwing benefits at people doesn’t buy their vote – it just encourages them to demand more and lose any self regard / esteem about working .
I read the mail piece by Rachel Reeve today – she again mentions that if people can work they should work – the sort of noice tories should be using but don’t – just shows how ‘strange ‘ the new regime will be .
I like the thing about putting VAT on private schools – but they should do tax relief of private health care to reduce strain on their NHS …..
I also wonder a bit if those who choose to vote( @45% ) will actually put a x in the labour box …. And even more – how any one now can vote blue ?
Just a thought , when parents pull their children out of the private schools because many are working class trying to give their children a chance and the addition of VAT will be too much . Where will the extra money needed for more places at public schools come from? Sister in law works in a private school and tells us that parents are already removing children. It’s going to put much more pressure on the infrastructure then people realise.
The Labour Party don’t care. This policy may well be negative for the Treasury. That’s not the point. They hate private education and want it to end. They cannot ban it outright, but can make it too expensive for all but a tiny percentage of families to afford. Labour is a socialist party, and they want everyone to be “educated” by the state.
To understand the mindset of Nu Liebour it is well worth studying this museum:
https://museumofcommunistterror.com/
These crackheads in Marxi’s party get real pleasure from destroying anything that is excellent and good. This is their real motivation for attacking Private Education. These people think like this:
* Destroy the family
* Destroy elite education
* Make every ones income zero
* Inject children and mothers with poison
* Set one group against another
Normal working people who want their children to have a better education at private schools will be clobbered by Labour twice of course, once in general taxation, then again when the bill for the fees comes in.
There will always be a ‘rich’ class which will be able to pay for their chldrens’ education. Labour have always been biliously envious of the quality of teaching in most private schools, and this is the only way they can stifle families who strive for a much better education for their children, than by another bunch of lefties, straight out of some obscure ‘teaching’ college.
Perhaps the odd studio in Beeboidland, with nutters who ‘verify’ stuff, could find out if their bile actually covers the Labour Party’s kids, or the great- grandkids of the expensive loafers in the HOL…
I have read that most of the residual Tories will be of One Nation wing who were given safe seats by Tory high command over the years. So I think that there is no chance of the Tory post election analysis recognising that they lost because they betrayed their voters on Brexit, Immigration, Levelling Up , Net Zero and the Culture War and were just pale pink imitations of Labour. They didn’t stand up for British people.
I honestly believe that a large part of the reason why the Tory party has drifted steadily left over the past three decades is because they simply were scared of criticism from the BBC et al. So they ducked most of the issues that they knew would draw fire from the MSM. They didn’t realise that their voter base would strengthen their support if the policies were attacked by the BBC . They thought that the BBC spoke for ordinary Brits , a catastrophic mistake.
Will it be possible to form a new right of centre party post election? Any attempt to do so will draw all manner of attacks from the MSM . I only hope those trying to form this party false that every attack from that source makes them more appealing to millions of Brits.
Double an absolutely good analysis – you hit it completely . Very sad – and very stupid .
If they thought the BBC spoke for ordinary Brits they were clearly too stupid to represent us. It’s no loss.
Today
Today has done something good -I know – it is trying to raise the issue of adult social care – which bit me personally 10 years ago .
A lady described how she is spending £1800 a week on care home fees – I nearly did the same thing .
Then our Justin interviewed Andy dillnot who once provided a solution to Adult Elderly Social Care – it sounded like a repeat of 2011 when he reported and initially his proposal was due to be accepted – a cap of about £60 000 then the state pays ….
The blues failed on this . I wish the reds wouid do something – I no longer have skin in the game unless as I get older I have to pay out £2k a week to be in a home … if spared …
In the East of England the care home fees are £2500/week. This is for a lady who has worked all her life.
Then someone from marxi’s team comes along who has never worked even for a day and they get free care paying £0/week.
Let’s face it, you couldn’t fit a soon to be illegal teenager’s cigarette paper between them
Hughie Green, formerly presenter of X Factor and Britain’s Got Telent, 1950s, 60s and 70s precurser Opportunity Knocks, had himself a catchphrase or two
“I mean that most sincerely, folks” was a typically ingratiating remark that punctuated his trans-atlantic accented patter.
Current news events, however, bring to mind our Hughie’s go-to persuasive formulation: “Remember, folks, it’s your votes that count”
Oh really? Apparently not…
Smoking ban will become law after election, Tories and Labour pledge (‘i’)
Whether you happen to care much about that issue or not – it turns out the question has been decided and taken out of your ballot paper marking hands.
Whatever notion they now promise in the coming few weeks to be akin to some form of clear blue water between the two parties – in particular those conservative-sounding pledges – let’s term them ‘blue flag’ promises – if you’ve learned anything from 14-years of Tory administration on the subject of hyper-immigration for instance, you’ll soon find post-election, metaphorically-speaking: Water companies dumping raw sewage at ‘clean’ Blue Flag beaches (‘i’)

If you don’t like football analogies, do look away now
Ladies and gentlemen, on the day of the Manchester Derby FA Cup Final whether you happen to support the red or the blue team – the reality is that to anyone other than the participants themselves – you’ll notice the outcome is generally inconsequential to your life, one way or the other, come Monday morning.
One thing is for sure though, even if you’ve no interest whatsoever in their game as such – both teams will be looking to take you up the Stretford End.

Asiseeit – I wouid nt normally write what I’m about to write – but I was looking at X for departure statements by blue cowards but found an unofficial announcement that the princess of wales will not be doing any public stuff this year – and that the news was ‘not good ‘.
I hope this is just X hot air but I wonder if the MSM will be tempted to speculate or more wisely stay away ….
Fedup2
I have some sympathy for the princess – who, with three young children would be like being dispatched on official appearances contrived by courtiers with an agenda (90 times in 2023 with the attendant media misreporting and invention).
Twice a week plus the briefings and PR tail … no thank you…..
First we get the BBC issuing weather forecasts / warnings that specify no place or time and now UKMO seem to have been caught adulterating content / finger on the scales
I tried trivially to make a firmer case by looking at http://www.newssniffer.co.uk as the present version of the BBC article looks (a lot) longer than the draft I looked at a couple of days ago – does anyone (Stew?) know the search syntax for finding an article?
It might be my anti BBC bias showing – but I went back and was uneasy about the piece…
On Tuesday the Met Office was forecasting a huge storm for the east of England on Wednesday, a large orange area surrounded by blue. Well we were due to go to York on Wednesday and we didn’t go. Yes it rained for a couple of hours in the morning and drizzled for the rest of the day. Some poor wee lassie in North Yorkshire did lose her life due to a mudslide. Of course the Press reported it because they needed something to report but I didn’t see any collapsed buildings or fallen trees on the tele. But as usual, the forecast had been overhyped.
Needless to say when the Met forecaster on GB News appeared they didn’t mention that things hadn’t gone as predicted and then forecasted blobs of orange and blue for Thursday. And certainly where I live, again no rain fell.
The UKMO forecasts for SWUK via BBC and local rags PRasNews have been utterly farcical for several years attracting contempt an ridicule in the comments – the really wrong ones actually often get deleted from the local rags.
I would love to know the story about who convinced Sunak to call an early election. No way that man has the gumption to do it all by himself.
It smacks of May’s Brexit dinner when she dumped her own plan on everybody. I expect the same people were behind that.

I’d go for the obvious – his Missis got Fedup listening to Rishi being miserable and said ‘come on let’s go home ( to the US ) or else ….
Ok sez green card – I’ll announce it tomorrow …. He has his black and white picture on the number 10 landing – next to Mary Truss … so he’s okay
I see that our energy prices are coming down.
We can put on our heating all through the summer.
I also see that when it starts getting colder they will be putting the energy cost up again so we should switch off our heating as we approach the end of the year.

The Middle East can be a strange place populated by strange people….
I recall returning from working in the Mid. East and musing that the muslim has to be the Worlds’ best terrorist because they had no fear of death. If more people understood this, it might introduce a small element of common sense to them.
or
Islam messes with people’s marbles?
10 years+ old but still relevant and something I like to run, tongue in cheek at “Israel runs Hamas” crew
My grandfather who died 40 years ago was in the army in India, had only one thing to say about muslims there and that was “the only good one was a dead one “. I found it harsh when I was younger but now as I look at the world I agree with him.

It’s hard to read this without laughing at just how pathetic the entire story is. And of course how obvious it was WHEN it happened.
The Left forced something on the world and it turned into complete shit.
How often has that happened ?. The correct answer to that is ‘every time’.
The morale of this story is that savages are still savages even if you give them everything we have. They don’t suddenly turn into decent citizens who are just like us.
They’ve made the same mistake with our own country. With the same result.
Where did I say ‘black savages’ maxi ?.
You are a liar. I expect an apology for that slanderous meme.
The phrase holds the same for people of any colour.
Ever think it might be YOU who is the racist ?.
I wonder just how many people change their voting intention during six interminable weeks of campaigning? Just hold the bloody thing tomorrow and be done with it.
I’m thinking of joining the blue party to be the candidate for Islington North – it may be the only Tory constituency when comrade Corbyn splits the red vote . Since so many BBC types live in N1 I will also achieve fame – with quiz show appearances and interviews about how tough it is to be an MP (£700 appearance fee declared )… I will cross the floor for a minor ministerial job to boost me pension .minister for good vibrations will do
I’ve already seen the expenses I can claim as MP and have a brochure of pretty young ladies to be my ‘PA’. I have my principles – but for a small donation and a couple of Wimbledon tickets I am more than happy to change them … vote Fedup for a kinder / nastier London / londonistan …
Now that is CHANGE you can believe in.
Vote Fed!

Thank you for your nomination – if I knew how to – I’d put the link? To my crowdfunding site which is based in the Cayman Islands where I intend to operate when I am elected . Rishi has promised me a green card as well …
Oh, well you’ll definitely get that then. I mean, Rishi’s promised it.
So there I was in my workshop listening to Greatest Hits Radio and up pops a BBC advert for Children in Need ……you just can’t escape them …….so Biasedbbc just do adverts for themselves !
Charlie
indeed
The BBC are spending with YouTube – the last two days have seen saturation adverts for Radio 1 DJ events in fields across the land – I *know* their market research must be clueless….
This is a very good watch don`t know if its been on here before
wwfc
aye it was but…. but – GB News has taken down the tweet possibly at the behest of ofcom?
I should go onto Bitchute
wwfc , Thanks for posting that! I have always liked Steve Bannon but didn’t realize his depth of knowledge. Of course we don’t have to agree with his entire world-view but he is someone we should listen to. I hope that Donald Trump has a good role for him if he gets back in.
Listening to that was an hour well spent.
Seen elsewhere
I wonder at the further 5 that she claims are more culpable than her?
They are calling the 17 year old who murdered a woman on Bournemouth beach a boy.
Apart from all the normal tricks they use to hide who this boy is I see Labour want to give the vote to 16 year olds.
Votes for boys (and girls)
Will 16 year old voters go to men’s prisons if they get sent down.
Will they be frontline troops ready to kill and be killed at 16 years old.
Also, these will be real 16 year olds and not the enricher 16 year olds with flowing beards.
So then Starmer. ‘Votes for boys’
Is this on your election posters.
Maybe encourage them by giving free sweets and lollipops if they get out of bed to vote.
TOADY Watch #1 – haven’t we been here before?
JustRemainIn Webb has a cosy chat with Sir Andrew Dilnot about Care Homes and the elderly that go to be residents there. I seem to recall that Boris Johnson as Prime Minister sorted out the funding of late life and dementia care with a progressive National Insurance increase. The BBC complained and howled about for about a week, no doubt because the BBC’s highly paid presenters, Editors, Managers and Executives would have been paying the most while for the average worker would only be Paying a couple of hundred pounds.
Maybe the BBC were stupid to help get rid of Bojo as PM?
Fed, go back and read my post again. Bojo did sort it out, at a cost to the BBC and all the bosses of privatised companies and overpaid Whitehall mandarins. And by the way it is Bojo’s paramour (later his wife) who is refered to as Princess Nut Nuts.
Up2 – it wasn’t sorted out – if sorted out beens providing fair financial support to those with assets over £23k… nut nut gave up on it like so much else the imbicile touched – suppose he deserves one fan …
The lady on Today is paying £1800 a week for care home fees – welfare junkies pay nothing in the same effing home …ring up a care home and ask how much for dementia care … I did … £2k a week and I wouldn’t put a dog in some I saw …
Fed, I can’t help it that you are a multi-millionaire and have assets over 23K!
In East of England the fees are £2500/week. This for a good lady that has worked all her life.
The good comrades on benefits pay nothing per week. Even if they never did a days work.

Starmer wants to reduce the voting age to 16.
Just like the SNP.
There is but one reason for this.
He hopes it will aid him electorally.
And he’s right.
Who else would a group of children whose entire lives have been spent at the taxpayers expense, having never earned a penny or paid a penny in tax, vote for?
And don’t pay the TV tax, Sluff – their mummy does…
Not that they watch much of the dumbed-down trash spewed out by the Beeboid idiots these days, they have worse stuff to watch – for free!
Sluff,
Following the Biden plan…………
As fed says don`t forget to clap

TOADY Watch #2 – Hamas will thank Jezbo for giving their allies game away
Another cosy chat on TOADY about Ukraine with of all people, Jeremy Bowen. I thought he was Jerusalem based and Hamas biased these days. Anyway, according to Jezbo the talk of Putin offering a casefire to Ukraine was just a Putin ploy to re-group and then totally annihalate Ukraine afterwards.
I immediately thought of Gaza. So that is why Hamas and their allies such as UN and the ICJ want a ceasefire.
wut?
Imagine? This is the stuff from which nightmares are made.
A truthful politician: “….what more we could do…..”. Yes, destroy the country and its people quicker.

Laura Kuenssberg: Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer have more in common than you might think

“Do we base someone’s legacy on how they died
or how they lived ?”
#GeorgeFloyd
StewGreen,
“Do we base someone’s legacy on how they were murdered
or how they lived ?”
Corrected it for you, Stew.
#GeorgeFloyd
It’s a generalisation you dunce.
‘Died’ includes murder.
Funny how you people don’t care about other murders which are MUCH more deliberate and horrific.
This one didn’t even make the front page:
‘Man jailed for life for random murder and attacks’
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1ww759n63xo
Normally an attractive woman being murdered by a man is BIG news. But for some reason you Lefties want to bury it. Here she is:
The murderer ‘was armed with a makeshift blade when he cut the throat of Johanita Kossiwa Dogbey, 31, in daylight in Brixton on 1 May 2023.’
Judge Angela Rafferty told the court:
‘The murder was “random, vicious, horrific” and “without mercy”,’
And such a short article for such a significant story. This was a random attack which could happen to ANYBODY at any time. SHE wasn’t a drug-dealing, career criminal resisting arrest.
Why might that be maxi ?. Why don’t you care about this one ?.
Of course we know the answer. Look who did it:
Another Muslim immigrant from Somalia.
Her life is worthless to you if you can’t use it for your own political agenda.
Do you ever wonder why we detest the gross double standards and complete lack of ethics of you people ?.
Ex Somalian pirate trying to relive the good times?
National Service Anyone?
The masterbrain Sunak has come up with a real beauty. Conscription.
The thinking is this. The cons are desperate for the Youth vote so we’ll promise them free living in cold barracks and being chased around the square by screaming sergeant-majors. What young chappie could resist that?
Can I suggest an enticing slogan? ‘You train for Ukraine’
I will offer that to Rishi free of charge.
I expect an immediate turnaround in the polling for Tories.
You couldn’t make it up could you Yasser ?.
What a time to announce it. Sure to get the vote of all the young people.
This behaviour by Sunak is so outlandish, it stinks. Who is pulling his strings ?. It’s almost like someone wants to annihalate the Tory party and give us a decade or two of the Left …
This is what ‘corporate globalisation’ and empires such as the EU mean in the real world. We are watching a dystopian future taking shape before our very eyes. Just look how many of the strong Brexit supporting politicians have been removed without a single vote being cast. Can we stop it ?.
Removing the BBC’s guaranteed funding to push their far-Left agenda is a good start.
Don’t knock it. If it were to become law at some stage, just think of the resident imports that would flee to their preferred real homelands. I say ‘resident’ imports because that clearly does not include those imports ‘in limbo’ now at the public expense and without the Home Office gift of residency status yet to come…………..yet. Unless, unless……….’Press Gangs’ are created again.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impressment
Yasser , ‘ You train for Palestine ‘ must be another winner……methinks all the Uni Stoodants would throw the flags and banners away immediately 😀
The UK Government and its public ‘Preparedness’ plans?
https://prepare.campaign.gov.uk/get-prepared-for-emergencies/
No mention of means of protecting you and your family when the gangs of feral’s invade your home to steal your precious stores accumulated in accordance with Government advice. Perhaps the Government assume that if some catastrophe occurs those in the police/fire service/hospitals will ignore any plight of their own families and stand by their posts…………… Might have been the case in the 1940’s but now with the imports?
Anyway, you can guarantee mobs of ferals will be on the streets. You know the sorts. Led by those who have a record of ignoring Government guidance like Boris Johnson and his Health Minister sidekick et al. Wouldn’t that be a sight: Boris (with NutNut in tow) heading the gangs…………. (BBC reporting – ‘some say’)
That’s what struck me as so important about that story I linked to after maxi made an arse of himself again.
The key point is that it was a random attack. The man just wanted to murder somebody. And the fact they do it so often means that without a doubt, there are many others who feel the same. It’s a brand-new type of threat we have imported.
It’s similar to the rape gangs. They are in no way comparable to your standard rapist. He is a deviant who works alone and is in fear of being caught. These gangs are organised groups who all know what they are doing and are all quite happy to go along with it. And they all know that none of the others will tell the police. They show it’s NORMAL for them and they don’t think it’s wrong. It’s not just the odd one who is wired wrong upstairs.
And the BBC hide all of this from the British people because it doesn’t suit their bigger agenda. In their ideological theory world, they think that if we treat them just the same and pretend they are the same as us (which means not victimising them for what they do), they will gradually change until they are and stop doing all these bad things.
All I can say is that this ‘leftist experiment’ has been going on for 50 years or more and it’s just as bad as ever. Ot has utterly failed. Meanwhile the rest of us suffer for it.
In the olden days we had Regiments in the Army with names something like the Queens Rifles.
With all our imports could we bring that naming tradition back and have Knife Regiments.
The Royal stabbers. The Slashers, The Kings Royal Knife Regiment, The machete men etc.
There’s millions of them awaiting conscription and ready to serve their adopted new Country (as all native Brits are expected to do) and will need very little training.
Sunday service edition
In what has to be the lamest general election campaign in modern history even our political cartoonists are firing blanks
Sunday Times’s in-house joker Newman is on typically poor form taking a late after the fact swipe at disgraced PO boss Paula Vennells. He draws a pair of goldfish in a bowl: “You’ve a memory like a Post Office chief executive!“ – laugh, I didn’t even titter. What’s the name for that thing goldfish do with their mouths? I’m doing that in the aftermath of that gag.
Even our best mate Matt in the Telegraph shoots wide of the mark sketching a couple passing by a Post Office – oh dear, here we go again… another cheap shot at our latterday Titus Oates (look him up… former priest, peculiar-looking, bit of a fantasist, got a bunch of innocent individuals wrongly convicted… ultimately was himself convicted of perjury, pilloried, flogged, and imprisoned). Of course Vennells is fair game and yes we appreciate it’s open season on a Karenish girl boss (and we like that) but, Matt, my friend, there comes a time when you’re pillorying and flogging an already dead horse: “I hope someone has told Paula Vennells there’s a general election. She tends not to notice things”
What I particularly don’t like about that gag is the reference to our present toe-curlingly naff general election campaign.
The midly conservative Sunday Telegraph is of course in a la-la land all of its own. Fiddling while Rome burns and Sir Keir is about to throw a few more logs on the fire. Simon Heffer in reference to the sudden departure of Michael Gove opines: The Tories have lost one man who knew how to defeat the blob (Telegraph) – he didn’t bloody do it in all those wasted years though, did he?
Con Coughlin flies a similar kite as he predicts: The rotten Iran regime is on the edge of collapse (Telegraph) – yeah, right, give it a week or two and we’ll have rainbow flags all over the streets of Tehran?
I’m betting given time and google I could catch Con Coughlin telling us the rotten Putin regime was teetering on the edge of collapse or the rotten Assad regime was just about to go tits up
Anyway, our prize political tipster has changed his tune on the Persian mullahs: Don’t Bet on a Regime Change in Iran (Con Coughlin, Wall Street Journal, Feb 2010)
Point is – our vaguely conservative press tendency buries its head in the sand as the world around us goes to pot
Revealed: church’s direct link to slavery – slavers (as in drooling) Desirée Baptiste and Jon Ungoed-Thomas in the Observer as they read us the lesson this Sunday.
Archbishop Thomas Secker (1693-1768) turns out signed some unsavery slavery-related old-timey dusty document back in the day. Our new boy in the job had this to say: “Every new piece of evidence around the Churchs’ involvement….” – I’ll stop him there. Don’t you just abhor that horrendous ill educated trendy management-speak formulation: …piece of evidence AROUND the Churchs’ involvement.. yuck, turn off the diversity, equity and inclusion powerpoint presentation Welby and concentrate a bit more on the scripture thees and thous
lol that Post Office woman has snatched the ‘I can’t remember’ liar crown from Sturgeon.
Who’d have thought she would lose it so quick ?.
She has a ways to go to beat the Savile senior BBC management who acquired an STA (short term Alzheimers) on anything they said or did during any dubious period in question.
Asiseeit
I think this has the makings of a vintage election campaign with a wealth of gaffs and leaks ensuring popcorn shortages , eye rolling and that wtf? Thing in rich measure
When i saw the national service thing i tried to imagine the ‘process’ where some spad came up with it and then green card said ‘ yeah good idea’
.. but i just couldnt work out how such an idea came along – must have been the 3rd friday night bottle of red off Victoria Street …
Particularly ludicrous is the suggested alternative option to National Service for our young Conchies: …one weekend a month volunteering… (Times) – probably WFH on Zoom?
Then again, we’ve a million or two untapped computer games console trained and adept potential ace drone operaters ready and willing to take on Putin from their sofas down there in mum’s basement.
Meet the Peaky Blinders – Ukraine’s drone squad defending Kharkiv… High-tech drones help Ukraine’s defenders – but they need more support from allies (BBC)
How about National Service for all illegals entering Great Britain ?
That would send them hurrying back to the EU in the dinghies that they came across the Channel upon instead of putting them up in 4 Star hotels.
How many have the Tories already let in this year so far ?
As Trump trial hurtles towards verdict, are Americans paying attention?
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cv22mryvleko
Just look at this article. It is not ‘news’ at all. It’s just the BBC writing an article to rake up everything they can against Trump because they are getting desperate.
It’s pure left-wing activism attempting to influence the next election.
The MSM are far, far worse than anything Russia ever did (or didn’t do – but the BBC don’t talk about that bit for the same reasons).
John,
I’ve never been into computer games or computers simulated situations but, I would dearly love to wear all the garb, goggles etc (as we see them wear as they experience) and live the life of a leftie/commie for a day. Say what they say, think what they think as daily situations arise. That would be amazing just to feel and experience the limits of their circumference thinking. Difference for me in the experiences of left v right? One word: ‘Consequences’ or, more specifically, the perception of consequences.
Then we could go on to the other gene corrupted biology, islam ………………….
There’s a lot of hoo-hah on the bbc at the moment about the return of national service. Also a lot of comment about all the unwanted hopping on the next dinghy to France. Sorry folks, but it won’t happen. There will be a clause somewhere allowing exemption on religious grounds. I would estimate that between 100% and 100% of moslems won’t be squarebashing or leaving any time soon.

As there is a 20% tax on sweets and sugary drinks that means children of all ages pay tax so, according to the lefties they should be able to vote.
A sensible age to begin voting would be when these kiddies are able to read and write (6 or 7?) so they know where (they are told) to put their ‘x’
