Start the Week 17th June 2024

Monday marks the publication of the Reform Party Contract – they refuse to call it a manifesto because manifestos mean nothing . We can be sure the BBC will classify it as ‘unapproved ‘ so it will get the full ‘anti’ treatment from the anti British BBC . You can already hear the sneers – particularly as the Far Left BBC is getting worried about the sheer popularity of Reform . Let’s see.

    Students boasted of voting twice, MP says
    Published
    5 July 2017

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-40509178

    Many students boasted on social media of having voted twice in last month’s general election, an MP has claimed.

    Conservative Sir Henry Bellingham said there was “clear evidence” of students saying they voted at their home and university addresses.

    “Surely this is straightforward electoral fraud,” he said.

      There are huge numbers of improper registrations, there are huge numbers of people unregistered.
      Although there is a non publicly viewable electoral register that can be opted into, the Government allow (or sell) access to the full register to the credit reference agencies and possibly the Insurance companies.

    Previously, the BBC had stated that Lineker’s high profile came with “additional responsibility”.

    The BBC has had in place since 2020 social media guidelines for staff working in news and current affairs, to protect its mission for impartiality.

    Earlier this year it revised how those regulations should apply to other staff and freelancers.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-67680388

    They must also not criticise the character of individual politicians in the UK, or comment on any issue of political debate during an election period (which the UK is not currently in), or take up an official role for a campaigning group.

    Following the publication of the new guidance in September, Lineker responded on X, external by saying the new rules were “all very sensible”.

    . . . . . .

    Gary Lineker says he is in Qatar to “report, not support” the World Cup and will discuss the issues surrounding the “tainted” tournament on air. The host nation has been criticised for its stance on same-sex relationships, its human rights record and treatment of migrant workers.18 Nov 2022

    They just don’t like Reform do they?

    Farage launches ‘The Contract’ and the BBC’s immediate analysis is…

    It’s Liz Truss on steroids

    It’s ‘populist’…whatever that means.

    And ‘The sums don’t add up’…as if Labour’s or the Tories do.

    Can’t remember such a negative takedown for any other party’s manifesto.

    The Times is digging through Reform candidates’ social media history for dirt [supposedly checking other Partys as well]…found one who made remarks about Islam…er…journo can’t remember what he said…but it’s Islamophobic, racist and bigoted anyway.

    Oddly no mention of Labour’s candidate opposing Reform’s main man NIgel Farage in Clacton…might think that would be of interest given that he said ‘The tears of White people’ were his favourite drink…I imagine there’d be a lot more dirt somewhere but the Times isn’t interested despite the Farage link.

    Did laugh to hear that Reform standing will bring about the destruction of the Tory Party….er…isn’t it more the self-destruction of the Tory Party has created Reform as a reborn ‘real’ Tory Party? Reform wouldn’t be necessary if the Tories had done their job.

    Be interesting to see how Reform do given the hatred of them in the media…even more interesting to see if they can build on any success when the real test comes in 5 years time with a new election…will the Tories even exist? Then again Labour was said to be finished not long ago and now they will apparently sweep all before them.

    This might help…but never happen…

    ‘Reform directs some focus at the BBC which is calls “out of touch”, “wasteful” and “institutionally biased”.

    The party would scrap the TV licence fee.’

    Nigel Farage launches Reform UK’s party ‘contract’

    Reform leader Nigel Farage launches his party’s “contract with the people” in South Wales, where he is poised to put pressure on the Tories over immigration and tax.

    The party says it is launching its policies in Merthyr Tydfil to highlight “what happens to a country when Labour is in charge”.

      It only happened this morning so you can’t expect the BBC to have reported it yet – there needs to be a managerial meeting to determine how to spin it. Plus someone needs to work on a follow-up damage limitation piece for tomorrow: “How Afghan refugees are making France a better place”.

      The reports from grown-up media outlets state that it may be connected with revenge and infighting between different Afghani fractions. One feels deeply for these people, voluntarily trapped in an alien country. If only there was some other place where they could express themselves in this way: Afghanistan perhaps, or is that too obvious? One can only hope that such events don’t lead French voters to reject Macron and vote for someone like, oh I don’t know, Marine Le Pen.

    A Labour peer who called a female candidate “frit or lazy” after she called off local hustings over safety concerns has lost the whip.

    Lord Cashman, a former EastEnders actor and MEP, has apologised for his comments about Labour’s Rosie Duffield, who has been vocal about women’s rights and female-only spaces.

    On Friday, Ms Duffield confirmed that she would not be attending hustings in Canterbury, Kent, saying that “constant trolling, spite and misrepresentation” from some was now affecting her “sense of security and wellbeing”.

    https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/04/30/rosie-duffield-right-women-cervix-keir-starmer-trans-stance/

    And as we all know (although I have never watched it EAST ENDERS) appears only on the world famous BBC (that is for sexual perversion). Its linked to Stonewall and Rosie Duffield is a strong supporter of Woman rights not be be rolled up as TRANS issues (that the above perverter campaigns for).

    Unbelievable misinformation from BBC Climate Editor,
    @BBCJustinR, who says renewables are cheaper per MWh than gas.
    AR6 has solar at £85/MWh, onshore wind at £89, offshore at £102, and floating offshore at £246.
    That’s 200%-600% above the long-run norm.

    And they are STILL droning on about those nasty Greek border controllers protecting their border.

    Get out the hankies. All those illegal asylum seekers are poor, in fear, blah blah blah, and wanting to get into the EU is perfectly natural.

    But the BBC have taken it on themselves to do an investigation into the Greek coastguards. Hey presto, they have a programme about it later on tonight.i

    As if there was no other news. Like the Reform Party launching their manifesto.

    Noticing a rising spate of stories in certain sections of the media of how for instance the British Rulers oppressed and starved the poor folk in the Indian Subcontinent during WW2 and lhow British soldiers despoiled poor girls in Africa whilst training, etc, etc, they are arriving in the news like buses.

    We all know that following on from Windrush and Grenfell it’s almost certainly just a form of cash for crash extortion but the gullible or possibly infiltrated BBC go right along with it full tilt.

    I half expect anytime soon for the Spanish to demand the UK cough up for sinking their Armada…..

    Perhaps we should have a go at the Japanese for starving so many British servicemen to death and get some reparations coming inwards for a change?

    And healthcare in Wales is even more rubbish than in England, despite 10% more per capita expenditure.
    Yet the voters still blame the evil Tories not Welsh Labour for failures for which the Tories have no responsibility. And the Tories have been too stupid and thick to counter this.

    Not interested in anything the BBC have to say on this. I just went to check the comments.

    And I was not disappointed : almost all written like spiteful schoolboys again. Few arguments, just insults at Nigel, Brexit and Trump. 100% typical Lefties.

    But the point is this : how can anyone at all consider the BBC is not biased to the Left when this is their readership ?. There is no balance here whatsoever.

    This is a dirty trick right from the bottom of ther BBC’s barrel. Let the activists write the insults and slurs and pretend it’s ‘free speech’.

    Many of those comments would be deleted in other circumstances. I bet very few get removed today. The left are getting desperate and the BBC are getting much worse because they know they will get away with it because OFCOM are the same people.

    Here we go.

    Who’da thunk it…? A sudden outbreak of blood and soil nationalism at the Gruan? The Ukrainian team sing their national anthem wrapped in the country’s flag… (Guardian) Not that it did them any good: …before being beaten 3-0 by Romania… the eastern european antagonists who arrived to spoil the party may be different but perhaps there is a sport and political analogy in there somewhere, given current reports from the battlefront, eh Guardian?

    Of course the junior poundshop Guardian for reading age 7 that is the ‘i’ newspaper takes its cues from big sister – sport/politics-wise: Mbappé latest to speak out against far right (‘i’) – but what’s this black fancophone footballer’s stance on school dinners we wonder?

    Croissant prices capped at £1.10 – don’t be silly, that’s just today’s Daily Star quoting the Count Binface election manifesto. While our BBC is on tentahooks over: Is the Sun about to endorse Sir Keir Starmer?

    Get your page 3 Mbappés out for Labour?

    The jokey blokey Daily Star meanwhile comes out for that daft bloke in a superhero cape with a milk churn on his bonce – I think we can all agree now that ancient monster raving loony party joke has worn very very thin – anyway, tin dust bins have been consigned to the landfill of history for years now – don’t he know these days it’s all black plastic sacks and big plastic council wheelie bins – probably that was meant to save the planet somehow – by giving a massive boost to the plastics industry?

    You’ve got our vote mate… we at the Daily Star believe it to be the most sane and honest manifesto out there.

    The above report illustrated by a pic, courtesy of Reuters, showing a bleak grey-toned scene in Gaza focused on a young Palestinian girl in a bright red dress – an image that tries rather desperately to channel Spielberg’s Schindler’s List – we know what you’re up to Reuters.

    ‘I would be beheaded’: Islamist insurgency flares in Mozambique
    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8vvr251rr5o

    A lengthy article about Islamic State terrorists from the BBC and the word ‘terrorist’ (or even ‘terror’) does not appear once. Neither does the word ‘Muslim’.

    They are ‘jihadists’ or ‘insurgents’. Sounds much more noble than the primitive murdering scum they actually are.

    These people are they very definition of the word ‘terrorist’ to me. But it seems only white people can be that these days at the BBC.

    Luckily one of millions of Africans somewhere in North Mozambique who worked for the government tells us they would have killed him if they had known – but they just insulted him as he ran away. The BBC make a point of changing his name for safety. Just in case those terrorists read BBC news and think ‘That was the guy we saw last week’. Such high drama.
    Ridiculous.

    From the DT – Reform promises to end the biased BBC and TV Licence – Enjoy

    STARTS Nigel Farage has pledged to reform the “institutionally biased” BBC and scrap the licence fee as part of Reform UK’s “contract” with voters.

    On Monday, the Reform leader unveiled a manifesto that also promised to lower income tax and to leave the European Convention of Human Rights.

    He said the licence fee was “taxation without representation” and that, in a world of on-demand TV, people should not be forced to fund the “wasteful” BBC.

    The manifesto, launched in Merthyr Tydfil, South Wales, pledged to “commence reform of the BBC”. It said: “The out-of-touch wasteful BBC is institutionally biased. The TV licence is taxation without representation. We will scrap it. In a world of on-demand TV, people should be free to choose.”

    However, the Institute for Fiscal Studies said the multi billion-pound spending pledges do not add up.

    Reform said its tax cuts would cost £90 billion a year, which together with spending increases of £50 billion a year could be paid for through £150 billion in savings. The spending commitments are way in excess of those promised by Labour or the Liberal Democrats.

    Carl Emmerson, the IFS deputy director, said the package was “problematic”, adding: “Even with the extremely optimistic assumptions about how much economic growth would increase, the sums in this manifesto do not add up.

    “Whilst Reform’s manifesto gives a clear sense of priority, a government could only implement parts of this package or would need to find other ways to help pay for it, which would mean losers not specified.”

    In response, Mr Farage said: “If you change things radically, it’s always going to be problematic, and those who are part of the status quo might not like it and might not agree with it. But you know what? We’re the only party putting forward really radical ideas.”

    He said it was “absolute nonsense” that his party’s plans would create a larger tax burden than Labour.

    The manifesto included a pledge to eliminate NHS waiting lists within two years with a cash injection of £17 billion a year, while a series of tax cuts included a promise to take everyone earning less than £20,000 out of income tax altogether.

    The IFS questioned whether Reform would be able to meet its target of cutting spending by £150 billion a year through eliminating waste and tackling out of work benefits.

    “Spending reductions would save less than stated, and the tax cuts would cost more than stated by a margin of tens of billions of pounds per year,” said Mr Emmerson. “Meanwhile, the spending increases would cost more than stated if they are to achieve their objectives.”

    The IFS said a reduction in tax of £90 billion a year would still see tax revenues higher as a share of the economy than in 2019/20, but in reality the package of tax cuts proposed would cost tens of billions of pounds a year more than that.

    The think tank said the plans to cut the rate of corporation tax from 25 to 20 per cent immediately, and then to 15 per cent at the end of the Parliament, would cost twice as much as Reform estimates.

    The £17 billion increase for the NHS would not be nearly enough to meet the party’s commitment to eliminate waiting lists within two years, said the IFS. It pointed out that eliminating the waiting list entirely had not been achieved in the history of the NHS.ENDS

    The MSM concentrates on the numbers – but let’s face it -all political parties through economy numbers around knowing they are meaningless …

    Instead it was the usual useless ‘discussion about what why their NHS is constantly crap – with no mention of huge population increases – they rolled out a dolt called ‘Matthew Taylor ‘ who was a Tony Blair bitch a few years ago – he’s got a non job in a NHS quango – £250 k pa plus package -no doubt almost as much as Meesh gets …

    Amount of invaders – sorry undocumented arrivals – who have drowned = three score and ten ( about 70 ).

    The tragic deaths equal about 0.00000001% of the illegals .

    So we must have safe and legal routes for them ( which means what ?) .

      Irregular migration to the UK, year ending June 2023

      https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/64e45b85bc2b520014a0042a/1.svg

      There were 44,460 people detected arriving by small boats in the year ending June 2023, 26% higher than in the year ending June 2022.

      Weasel words …
      Irregular migration (unstoppable – sorry)
      Small boats (lots of small boats)
      Undocumented (throws documents in sea)

      Overall, males represented 87% of small boat arrivals in the year ending June 2023. This proportion is similar to the proportion of males each year from 2018 to 2021.

      Since January 2018, 75% of small boat arrivals have been adult males aged 18 and over. Around one-sixth (17%) have been children aged 17 and under (see table Irr_02c).

      Since January 2018, Iranians have been the most commonly detected nationality making up 21% of all small boat arrivals. They were the top nationality detected in the years 2018 to 2021. However, other nationalities have been appearing in greater numbers since 2020.

      In the year ending June 2023, almost half of small boat arrivals were from 2 nationalities – Albanians (26%) and Afghans (21%).
