After the Taliban restricted Afghan women’s ability to work, learn and go out in public, some women initially defied these new rules, taking to the streets to protest.
But soon, those who gathered in the capital Kabul and other major cities to demand “food, work, freedom” felt the full force of the Taliban.
Protesters tell the BBC they were beaten, abused, jailed and even threatened with death by stoning.
“I don’t think he does want to abolish the monarchy, nor is that official Labour Party policy. If anything Keir Starmer has taken efforts to do a bit more flag waving at Labour Party conferences. And in 2022, for the first time ever they sang “God Save The King” at the Conference.”
It looks like the Reform ‘ contract ‘ – due to be announced Monday is already out . And it looks really good . Nigel Farage has said it is not a manifesto – because manifestos are just lies .
I took a look at the Labour one today – 176 pages – if I recall – I gave up because of the weasel words …
But what Reform is putting out will really chime with the British people …
Please vote Reform – a step towards the proper control / end of the BBC …
Chancellor Rishi Sunak held a US green card – allowing permanent residence in that country – while he was chancellor, his spokeswoman has said. He returned it in October last year, ahead of his first American trip as a UK government minister.8 Apr 2022

Even if it’s true, nothing will happen because the MSM will simply not report it. And if any legal proceedings are started, the Judge will throw them out before they ever get to court.
That’s what they did then and what they will do this time around.
I really hope people are making plans to track the next election in the USA so that they can get some conclusive proof if cheating occurs.
It’s not a ‘peace plan’ BBC, it’s Ukraine trying to surrender without being comletely defeated.
The only thing it makes clear is that what is happening in Ukraine has nothing whatsoever to do with Ukraine. It seems all these leaders have gathered together – at who knows what cost – to discuss thing as if the Russians are the ones losing this war.
I get the impression that Zelensky now knows they have lost and is thinking that some form of surrender is needed to prevent the whole country falling. But the EU have other ideas:
‘European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen said that “freezing the conflict today with foreign troops occupying Ukrainian land is not an answer”.’
So the EU position is that the war will continue until Russia withdraw completely. And this presumably includes the Crimea. Everybody knows there is ZERO chance for that.
Sorry Ukraine : the rest of the West don’t want the war to stop just yet.
We once said ‘Victory in Ukraine is Ukraine in ruins’. We can change that to ‘No surrender in Ukraine until the country is utterly destroyed’.
This whole circus is a farce. It reminds of the meaningless meetings they used to have when I worked for BAE Systems where sometimes the only action from the meeting was to arrange another meeting.
And I see Sunak is there. What a great time to call an election. I am totally bewildered by this man : it’s as if he has been put into that position with the deliberate intent to destroy the Tories. And I’m even more bewildered at how the rest of the party are just walking quietly behind him to their annihalation.
What strange times we live in. And it has all happened since the Left launched their coup after Trump and Brexit. No coincidence there at all. They destroy everything they meddle with.
The glib madman on Times Radio yesterday evening was worrying talking glibly about the Ukraine conflict was selling Kool-Aid but there was a whiff of almonds. Tried to find who he was – but it were “best of the week”……
How have Ukraine lost? The Russians have managed to capture some villages at huge cost. They have failed to take Kharkiv. We are not looking at a blitzkrieg here.
It should be obvious to everyone by now that the politicians are simply actors executing a predetermined plan. Why should the Head of the Metropolitan Police be calling for the criminalisation of anyone who mentions the Kalerigi plan?
Why is this happening in Ukraine? European whites are annihilating other European whites just as they did in the first and second world wars, for no appreciable gain. This is why you see the German Government calling for all white Ukrainians to be sent back to Ukraine to fight on the Eastern Front. At the moment it is just Slavs but soon it will be Teutons and Anglo-Saxons. Meanwhile, the relentless flow of criminals from the third world continues. Quiet weapons for silent wars.
In six months, the above statement will get you a five-year prison sentence. Think about where we are headed.

Even the DT don’t tell us he was another Afghan National. I wonder if that was their own choice or they have been told not to identify Nationalities of these people now by OFCOM. I was stunned the other day to learn how OFCOM have the power to censor ALL the MSM from reporting things which are ‘inconvenient’.
Just look at what Marianna-pants-on-fire is spending her time doing:
‘Their behaviour has prompted claims from other social media users that they are fake – automated “bot” accounts – and they are distorting the online conversation to try to exaggerate the popularity of Reform UK.’
First off, is there anything actually wrong with it to make it worth the BBC spending this time and money investigating ?.
Marianna has taken it on herself to try and contact these people to see if they are genuine. She says:
‘The BBC contacted people behind the accounts and found that some are genuine UK voters who believe they are helping the party through their own initiative. Others, however, failed to prove they were authentic.’
Right. They are not all bots then. And I certainly would not reply to any BBC person asking me about what I’ve done. Marianna is not just watching, she is directly contacting right-wing people about their activity. This is nothing less than left-wing politicial harassment of the right.
‘Since this article was first published, the GenZbloomer account has been suspended by X for violating its rules.’
Well well. What a coincidence. I wonder if it because Marianna ‘grassed them up’.
So watch out what you post on social media people. The BBC might come after you using one of their dozens of anonymous accounts.
The only political fakery I’ve seen on the internet is many meme’s of Sunak which are 100% intended to destroy his reputation with ‘jokes’ which are absolutely not true. It seems they are fine for the BBC.
The fascists are now in full swing for the election. The BBC are going after Reform with a passion since Farage joined them. Where are you OFCOM ?.
Just checking the ‘f*ck you Dr Who’ ratings (so named because both the writer and the star have told us they don’t care if people don’t like it) and I see the latest episode has good chance of being another record-breaker.
It has set new records no less than 4 times up to now. The record of course being the lowest ever viewing figures for the show.
Apart from a gay, black doctor and various transsexuals around the place, just look at the ‘evil master criminal’ the gay writer has produced:
Not quite Davros is she ?.
(Disclaimer: I’ve never watched any of it so I might be wrong).
What is particularly chilling about this ultra-woke show is that the reason they don’t care about the ratings is that they are specifically targeting young children.
I caught five minutes of this drivel yesterday and wished that I hadn’t. Appalling acting from everyone, no dramatic tension at all, Congratulations Russell T Davies, you have put the final nail in the coffin of what used to be a must-watch programme.

Whereas Surrey constabulary have been having a cow, the mildly conservative Sunday Telegraph goes all Pygmalion: Our Fair Lady lifts nation’s spirits
Our June weather may not be living up to the pledges made by our so-called climate scientists but our mate Matt in the Telegraph does his best to raise a smile. He sketches a couple stranded on a railway platform beside a Delays placard and amid the pouring rain: “Is It too early to start blaming Keir Starmer for everything?”
Pascal’s wager is a philosophical argument advanced by a seventeenth-century French mathematician, philosopher, physicist, and theologian. The argument posits that individuals essentially engage in a life-defining gamble regarding the belief in the existence of God. If God does not exist, the individual incurs only finite losses. However, if God does indeed exist, they stand to gain immeasurably from eternal heavenly survival of their soul.
Such is the basis of many a secular death bed conversion to religion.

The Beebisteratti are very good at pointing out negatives where such items a the climate scam are concerned, but deny all knowledge of the really serious problems with excess illegal immigration, terrorist groups made up of foreigners, the hatred of parasites like Choudry and muslims stabbing each other as well as our indigenous people!
I suppose when Sir Beadyeyes gets in next month, they’ll start doing more negatives on anything and everyone who actually bats for Britain, because there certainly won’t be any positives!
“There are obviously a small number of dangerous, radicalises Islamist elements. But I don’t think they’re the real problem. The bigger issue is the large number of liberal, white, middle-class activists who fetishise Palestine/Israel as their trendy cause of the moment.”

In their ‘related articles’, the BBC seemed to have missed a link relevant to Brendan:
Murdered MP’s widower Brendan Cox quits charities https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-43101434
A headline missing a vital qualifier which was certainly omitted on purpose. It should have been:
‘Murdered MP’s widower Brendan Cox quits charities over sexual abuse allegations’.

1) Cameras on the car recognise speed limit signs and flash a warning to the driver
2) GPS knows which road and the speed limits that apply and again flashes a warning.
The US is bringing in or talking about a kill switch so your car gets turned off remotely. The car can also turn itself off if it does not like your driving.
All of this will not stop malicious authorities fitting speed humps to damage vehicles. They are doing this in our village on a straight road that for the last 24 years has not had a single official accident slight/serious/or fatal. Given that some of the potholes could now swallow a small child my guess is that this is a form of gas-lighting.

Just checked this article for one reason and sure enough it has ‘far-right- in there 3 times along with a ‘hard-right’.
This is just ridiculous now. Are we to believe that every political party in the world that is not left-wing are actually ‘right-wing extremists’ ?. Because that’s what far-right means.
I can’t remember seeing any political party being described as right-wing for a long time. They are ALL far-right. With all the ‘Nazi’ implications that come with it.
This is another one of those MSM things where they all suddenly start singing from the same hymn-sheet and using the same terminology against the Right.
There is no doubt we are living in the age of an attempted globalist coup from the Left-wing fascists. Unfortunately for them, people don’t like it and are turning to the Right. That is why they are playing so dirty now.
Met Office. Just noticed that sometime recently their 7-day forecast based on one’s Postcode has changed. Now, it seems, the hourly/day forecast jumps from an hourly forecast to three hourly from the 3rd day forward.
Covering tracks? Learning to not give any evidence and/or restricting the information must cut down on the forecast being shown to be hopelessly adrift?
Why do they persist in deluding the public that they have any hope of forecasting beyond the next day or so? Seems despite all the expensive high-powered computers they need to ‘predict’, shoving ones head out the window and looking up is more accurate and cheaper.
‘Weather At Sea’ by David Houghton circa mid-eighties, served me well.
Most people are blindsided by the constantly adjusting narratives that official sources spew …
When I am emperor the salaries of weather forecasters will be tightly coupled to their proven skill in prediction – P45s will be issued for 3 in a row fails.

“On 24 September 2015, a fatal crowd crush resulted in the death of more than 2,000 individuals, many of whom were suffocated or crushed, during the annual Hajj pilgrimage in Mina, Mecca, Saudi Arabia, making it the deadliest Hajj disaster in history.[5][6][7] Estimates of the number of dead vary: the Associated Press reported 2,411 dead,[1][8] while Agence France-Presse reported 2,236 killed.[3] Based on the total of the individual national reports cited in the table below (nationalities of victims), at least 2,431 people died.[note 1] The government of Saudi Arabia officially reported two days after the event that there had been 769 deaths and 934 injured.[1][9][10] These figures remained official at the time of the next year’s Hajj and were never updated.[4] The largest number of victims were from Iran, followed by Mali and Nigeria.[11]”
“The Grand Mosque seizure in Saudi Arabia took place between 20 November 1979 and 4 December 1979, when the Grand Mosque of Mecca was besieged by up to 600 militants under the leadership of Juhayman al-Otaybi, a Saudi anti-monarchy Islamist from the Tribe of Otaibah.”
Like him or loathe him we, as normal thinking (far righters a la BBC) have a lot to thank him for. I think back to the Brexit vote. Apart from Nige not one single person or party was supporting Brexit. They were all painting a vote for Brexit as doom and gloom. Luckily thanks to Lord Farage we succeeded and won the Brexit vote upon which Cameron immediately spits his dummy and throws his toys out of the pram and quits. Which in itself shows what the Tory establishment really thought about Brexit. None of them wanted to leave as all us Biastards knew the EU is the gravy locomotive to top gravy trains.
Then that brings us to the current election. The word “Immigration” was even mentioned until ol’ Nige put his beck on the line for our country once again. Even when he joins the race the 1st word mentioned by Wishy Washy was “Migration”. Proof enough that had Lord Farage not been involved IMMIGRATION would not have been discussed if at all. And as for the drubbing he has been handing out on the TV debates regarding Immigration he most definitely has my vote. And from what I’ve heard pretty much everyone I have spoken to, both friends and customers of mine, are voting for him as well. I wonder if the polls are biased as well as not to show the TRUE support for Reform.
And from what I’ve heard pretty much everyone I have spoken to, both friends and customers of mine, are voting for him as well. I wonder if the polls are biased as well as not to show the TRUE support for Reform.
EXACTLY THIS….i think the polls are under estimating Reform massively, the politicians, BBC etc haven’t got a clue of the depth of feeling out here in the real world. I think they are in for a huge shock when the votes are counted, I really do

Poor Susannah! The BBC website is currently running an article on its front page titled “Susannah’s grandad ran Bengal when famine killed millions”. We all know Susannah, right? Her grandfather, Sir John Herbert, was governor of Bengal during the famine there in 1943. And now, 80 years afterwards, Susannah is ‘…going through stacks of her grandparents’ papers at the Herbert archive in the family home in Wales. They’re kept in a climate-controlled room, and an archivist visits once a month.’ Well, who doesn’t go through their family archives kept in a climate-controlled room now and then, I mean we’ve all got one of those, right?
The article is ostensibly about inappropriate ”guilt’ and ‘shame’ felt by Poor Susannah, who wasn’t there and hadn’t even been born at the time. It’s written in classic BBC-style, as in superficially seeming to be objective and balanced yet leaving the reader in no doubt that it was all the fault of the racist, colonialist, British Empire. As the article admits, there were myriad complex causes. But consider the 2nd sentence of the piece:
‘Her grandfather was the governor of Bengal, in British India, during the run-up and height of the 1943 famine which killed at least three million people.’
Well, possibly, but the estimates are from 0.8 million to 3.8 million deaths, with many historians going for a figure of about 2 million (although all such numbers represent a large human tragedy). But the article avoids mentioning a number of pertinent and interesting facts. For instance, Sir John Herbert died at the end of 1943, half way through the events. Or that Bengal’s population has increased by 40% from 1901 to 1941, putting pressure on resources. Or that 500,000 refugees had fled into the province after the Japanese had invaded Burma. Or that the Japanese had sunk 100,000’s of tonnes of allied shipping in the Bay of Bengal, limiting the options for bringing in aid. Or that they had started bombing Calcutta in December 1942, causing a mass exodus to the countryside and disruption to local supply and trade. Or that many of the senior politicians were not British, for example the Minister of Civil Supplies was Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy, who maintained that there was no food shortage during the famine (largely correct, it was more to do with distribution).
Perhaps there was insufficient space in the article to mention all this. But even if there was, you suspect that the BBC wouldn’t do so. It doesn’t like complexity and nuance, especially if it dilutes or challenges The Narrative.
IR, this was covered after TWoTWee on BBC R4 in a series recently. The presenter appeared to want to point the finger at Winston Churchill as the main culprit but I would have instead chosen the leaders of Germany, Russia and Japan as well, especially the two former leaders who started the whole mess in the first place.

I see that the BBC and The Guardian have taken up the cudgels against private schools in their efforts to affect the outcome of the coming election in favour of Labour.
Laughable when you look at the salaries being scooped up by swathes of the upper echelons of the BBC and The Guardian.
Simply put, private schools have a much, much higher rate of producing academically well educated pupils than most dysfunctional State Schools with their emphasis on social and politically correct topics and are popular to people with half a brain, and happy to invest in their children’s future for that very reason, therefore they attract higher fees and are profitable and able to invest in infrastructure etc.
It’s a bit like saying that clever people who use their skills to make good salaries and can therefore afford large houses should be ashamed when there are people with no skills having to live in low quality low cost housing.
However we all know why this torrent of bile against public schools is being highlighted by the usual suspects right now and it’s got zilch to do with levelling the playing field and everything to do with helping the clueless Pound-Shop Marxist Starmer into No 10.

After the Taliban restricted Afghan women’s ability to work, learn and go out in public, some women initially defied these new rules, taking to the streets to protest.

Putin peace terms slammed at Ukraine summit
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cxee131gejpo
This article is so ridiculous, it’s funny.
It’s not a ‘peace plan’ BBC, it’s Ukraine trying to surrender without being comletely defeated.
The only thing it makes clear is that what is happening in Ukraine has nothing whatsoever to do with Ukraine. It seems all these leaders have gathered together – at who knows what cost – to discuss thing as if the Russians are the ones losing this war.
I get the impression that Zelensky now knows they have lost and is thinking that some form of surrender is needed to prevent the whole country falling. But the EU have other ideas:
‘European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen said that “freezing the conflict today with foreign troops occupying Ukrainian land is not an answer”.’
So the EU position is that the war will continue until Russia withdraw completely. And this presumably includes the Crimea. Everybody knows there is ZERO chance for that.
Sorry Ukraine : the rest of the West don’t want the war to stop just yet.
We once said ‘Victory in Ukraine is Ukraine in ruins’. We can change that to ‘No surrender in Ukraine until the country is utterly destroyed’.
This whole circus is a farce. It reminds of the meaningless meetings they used to have when I worked for BAE Systems where sometimes the only action from the meeting was to arrange another meeting.
And I see Sunak is there. What a great time to call an election. I am totally bewildered by this man : it’s as if he has been put into that position with the deliberate intent to destroy the Tories. And I’m even more bewildered at how the rest of the party are just walking quietly behind him to their annihalation.
What strange times we live in. And it has all happened since the Left launched their coup after Trump and Brexit. No coincidence there at all. They destroy everything they meddle with.

It should be obvious to everyone by now that the politicians are simply actors executing a predetermined plan. Why should the Head of the Metropolitan Police be calling for the criminalisation of anyone who mentions the Kalerigi plan?
Why is this happening in Ukraine? European whites are annihilating other European whites just as they did in the first and second world wars, for no appreciable gain. This is why you see the German Government calling for all white Ukrainians to be sent back to Ukraine to fight on the Eastern Front. At the moment it is just Slavs but soon it will be Teutons and Anglo-Saxons. Meanwhile, the relentless flow of criminals from the third world continues. Quiet weapons for silent wars.
In six months, the above statement will get you a five-year prison sentence. Think about where we are headed.

Bot or not: Are fake accounts swaying voters towards Reform UK?
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1335nj316lo
Just look at what Marianna-pants-on-fire is spending her time doing:
‘Their behaviour has prompted claims from other social media users that they are fake – automated “bot” accounts – and they are distorting the online conversation to try to exaggerate the popularity of Reform UK.’
First off, is there anything actually wrong with it to make it worth the BBC spending this time and money investigating ?.
Marianna has taken it on herself to try and contact these people to see if they are genuine. She says:
‘The BBC contacted people behind the accounts and found that some are genuine UK voters who believe they are helping the party through their own initiative. Others, however, failed to prove they were authentic.’
Right. They are not all bots then. And I certainly would not reply to any BBC person asking me about what I’ve done. Marianna is not just watching, she is directly contacting right-wing people about their activity. This is nothing less than left-wing politicial harassment of the right.
‘Since this article was first published, the GenZbloomer account has been suspended by X for violating its rules.’
Well well. What a coincidence. I wonder if it because Marianna ‘grassed them up’.
So watch out what you post on social media people. The BBC might come after you using one of their dozens of anonymous accounts.
The only political fakery I’ve seen on the internet is many meme’s of Sunak which are 100% intended to destroy his reputation with ‘jokes’ which are absolutely not true. It seems they are fine for the BBC.
The fascists are now in full swing for the election. The BBC are going after Reform with a passion since Farage joined them. Where are you OFCOM ?.

Whereas Surrey constabulary have been having a cow, the mildly conservative Sunday Telegraph goes all Pygmalion: Our Fair Lady lifts nation’s spirits
Our June weather may not be living up to the pledges made by our so-called climate scientists but our mate Matt in the Telegraph does his best to raise a smile. He sketches a couple stranded on a railway platform beside a Delays placard and amid the pouring rain: “Is It too early to start blaming Keir Starmer for everything?”
Pascal’s wager is a philosophical argument advanced by a seventeenth-century French mathematician, philosopher, physicist, and theologian. The argument posits that individuals essentially engage in a life-defining gamble regarding the belief in the existence of God. If God does not exist, the individual incurs only finite losses. However, if God does indeed exist, they stand to gain immeasurably from eternal heavenly survival of their soul.
Such is the basis of many a secular death bed conversion to religion.

This is true about the speed limiters.
AFAIK they operate in two ways:
1) Cameras on the car recognise speed limit signs and flash a warning to the driver
2) GPS knows which road and the speed limits that apply and again flashes a warning.
The US is bringing in or talking about a kill switch so your car gets turned off remotely. The car can also turn itself off if it does not like your driving.
All of this will not stop malicious authorities fitting speed humps to damage vehicles. They are doing this in our village on a straight road that for the last 24 years has not had a single official accident slight/serious/or fatal. Given that some of the potholes could now swallow a small child my guess is that this is a form of gas-lighting.

This is another one of those MSM things where they all suddenly start singing from the same hymn-sheet and using the same terminology against the Right.

Arise Lord Farage!
Like him or loathe him we, as normal thinking (far righters a la BBC) have a lot to thank him for. I think back to the Brexit vote. Apart from Nige not one single person or party was supporting Brexit. They were all painting a vote for Brexit as doom and gloom. Luckily thanks to Lord Farage we succeeded and won the Brexit vote upon which Cameron immediately spits his dummy and throws his toys out of the pram and quits. Which in itself shows what the Tory establishment really thought about Brexit. None of them wanted to leave as all us Biastards knew the EU is the gravy locomotive to top gravy trains.
Then that brings us to the current election. The word “Immigration” was even mentioned until ol’ Nige put his beck on the line for our country once again. Even when he joins the race the 1st word mentioned by Wishy Washy was “Migration”. Proof enough that had Lord Farage not been involved IMMIGRATION would not have been discussed if at all. And as for the drubbing he has been handing out on the TV debates regarding Immigration he most definitely has my vote. And from what I’ve heard pretty much everyone I have spoken to, both friends and customers of mine, are voting for him as well. I wonder if the polls are biased as well as not to show the TRUE support for Reform.

Poor Susannah! The BBC website is currently running an article on its front page titled “Susannah’s grandad ran Bengal when famine killed millions”. We all know Susannah, right? Her grandfather, Sir John Herbert, was governor of Bengal during the famine there in 1943. And now, 80 years afterwards, Susannah is ‘…going through stacks of her grandparents’ papers at the Herbert archive in the family home in Wales. They’re kept in a climate-controlled room, and an archivist visits once a month.’ Well, who doesn’t go through their family archives kept in a climate-controlled room now and then, I mean we’ve all got one of those, right?
The article is ostensibly about inappropriate ”guilt’ and ‘shame’ felt by Poor Susannah, who wasn’t there and hadn’t even been born at the time. It’s written in classic BBC-style, as in superficially seeming to be objective and balanced yet leaving the reader in no doubt that it was all the fault of the racist, colonialist, British Empire. As the article admits, there were myriad complex causes. But consider the 2nd sentence of the piece:
‘Her grandfather was the governor of Bengal, in British India, during the run-up and height of the 1943 famine which killed at least three million people.’
Well, possibly, but the estimates are from 0.8 million to 3.8 million deaths, with many historians going for a figure of about 2 million (although all such numbers represent a large human tragedy). But the article avoids mentioning a number of pertinent and interesting facts. For instance, Sir John Herbert died at the end of 1943, half way through the events. Or that Bengal’s population has increased by 40% from 1901 to 1941, putting pressure on resources. Or that 500,000 refugees had fled into the province after the Japanese had invaded Burma. Or that the Japanese had sunk 100,000’s of tonnes of allied shipping in the Bay of Bengal, limiting the options for bringing in aid. Or that they had started bombing Calcutta in December 1942, causing a mass exodus to the countryside and disruption to local supply and trade. Or that many of the senior politicians were not British, for example the Minister of Civil Supplies was Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy, who maintained that there was no food shortage during the famine (largely correct, it was more to do with distribution).
Perhaps there was insufficient space in the article to mention all this. But even if there was, you suspect that the BBC wouldn’t do so. It doesn’t like complexity and nuance, especially if it dilutes or challenges The Narrative.

IR, this was covered after TWoTWee on BBC R4 in a series recently.

Why does our, “Worlds Most Trusted Broadcaster” Aka, the ‘Far far far Left/Trotsky biased broadcaster use a “hideously white” photograph to highlight their ‘update’ on the Junior Doctors dispute?

Perhaps they want to deflect away from what the ludicrous increases the doctors seek is more to do with Zakat remittances than anything else.

A reader in Bradford recalled asking a West Yorkshire officer on the street that day why the various “Muslim community leaders” weren’t being arrested for incitement to murder. The officer said they’d been told to “play it cool”. The calls for blood got more raucous. My correspondent asked his question again. The policeman told him to “F— off, or I’ll arrest you.”

I see that the BBC and The Guardian have taken up the cudgels against private schools in their efforts to affect the outcome of the coming election in favour of Labour.
Todays typical acidic attack….
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/article/2024/jun/16/revealed-private-schools-have-10-times-more-green-space-than-state-schools
It’s not hard to see what they are up to…
Private schools = Rich People.
Rich People = Conservatives.
Laughable when you look at the salaries being scooped up by swathes of the upper echelons of the BBC and The Guardian.
Simply put, private schools have a much, much higher rate of producing academically well educated pupils than most dysfunctional State Schools with their emphasis on social and politically correct topics and are popular to people with half a brain, and happy to invest in their children’s future for that very reason, therefore they attract higher fees and are profitable and able to invest in infrastructure etc.
It’s a bit like saying that clever people who use their skills to make good salaries and can therefore afford large houses should be ashamed when there are people with no skills having to live in low quality low cost housing.
However we all know why this torrent of bile against public schools is being highlighted by the usual suspects right now and it’s got zilch to do with levelling the playing field and everything to do with helping the clueless Pound-Shop Marxist Starmer into No 10.

YOUR COMPLAINT:
No mention of Rishi “UK exporter of energy” News
Hello,
This is big news, we will soon have cheaper bills and even export energy to other countries but none of your BBC news picked this up.
“UK to become a net exporter of electricity.” (c) Rishi Sunak 11.06.2024
https://youtu.be/3CNThBxJjm4?t=2368#Conservative Party launch manifesto
It does beg the question why isn’t the UK doing this already or why aren’t we after 14 years of Tory power we in a position to sell energy or why haven’t Labour go the same policy? Plus how is this going to be achieved?
This is big news missed by the BBC.
Thanks,
Mr.H
